King Charles and Queen Camilla
After visiting Samoa, King Charles and Queen Camilla spent four quiet days in complete privacy at a health centre in Bengaluru, India; named Soukya. Unknown to many, this is not their first visit to this wellness retreat. They have paid many visits to this retreat in the past 10 years.
According to the Times of India, it is King Charles’s first overseas visit since he wasdiagnosed with cancer. He is 75 years of age and has spoken about his trust in Eastern healing treatments several times in the past.
Soukya Health and Wellness Centre is a one-of-a-kindhealing sanctuary in Bengaluru, India, where the focus extends beyond conventional medical treatments. This residential wellness facility embraces a comprehensive philosophy of healing that looks at each person's complete well-being, rather than just addressing individual symptoms or health concerns in isolation.
The centre's approach combines different healing traditions and treatments, viewing the human body, mind, and spirit as interconnected parts that need to work in harmony for true health.
Dr. Issac Mathai, along with his wife, established this wellness retreat in 2011, creating a space where ancient healing wisdom meets modern wellness practices.
