In India alone, nearly 250 million people suffer from hypertension, and mental health conditions affect 1 in 5 individuals, often compounded by stigma and lack of resources. S-VYASA (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana) has pioneered Integrated Medicine (IM) for over four decades, combining Yoga, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Physiotherapy, and modern science. With over 1,000 research publications and a 600-bed facility at Prashanti Kutiram, S-VYASA has demonstrated the effectiveness of holistic approaches in treating chronic diseases.
