Mrityunjay Ayurvedic Clinic

You can find us at 15 Paschim Vihar Extn, it’s a quiet enough street compared to the main roads. We’ve been running this Ayurvedic clinic for a long time. When you walk in, the first thing you notice is the smell of the different herbs and powders we keep in the back. It’s a very specific scent that sticks to your clothes. We have shelves full of glass jars and tins. It’s not like a regular doctor’s office with all the white plastic and metal. Most of our furniture is made of wood and it’s been here since we opened. We see a lot of the older folks from around Paschim Vihar who prefer the traditional ways. We spend a lot of time talking to people about what they eat and how they sleep. It’s a slow process, not like just handing out a pill and sending them away. My brother helps me mix some of the preparations in the mornings before we open the doors. We have a small garden in the back where we grow a few things, but the city air isn't always great for them. The front door sticks a bit in the rainy season, so you have to give it a good push. We aren't looking to expand or anything, we just like things the way they are. It’s a calm place to spend the day.
