Our Legacy
Kshemavana exists for natural, holistic and sustainable healing. And it was always so, in the last four decades of our service.
Rooted at the heritage town of Dharmasthala, our first naturopathy facility was founded 36 years ago. Today, Shantivana holds 400 beds with a modern hospital complex.
Four Decades of Healing
Our founder and visionary, Dr D Veerendra Heggade, established a college for naturopathy and yogic sciences in 1988. This has – over the years – produced quality practitioners and competent doctors for our services.
A 300-bedded facility Saukhyavana was opened in 2007 at Manipal, to serve the growing needs of natural healing. Kshemavana is our latest offering – an all-inclusive sanctum with wholesome ways of healing.
