King Charles has made a secret visit to an Indian wellness and healing center which claims its treatments can help with “early cancer” and promotes itself as a provider of “supportive and palliative cancer care.” The king, who famously said he talks to the trees at his Highgrove estate, was diagnosed with cancer in February. ADVERTISEMENT Charles and Queen Camilla stopped over at the Soukya Spa in Bengaluru for a private visit on their way home from their tour of Australia and Samoa without notifying media, and despite a rule that the royals are not supposed to combine private trips with official ones.
A spokesperson said the trip was “private” and they would be back in the U.K. today (Wednesday).
The spa was founded by Dr. Issac Mathai MD (Hom), MRCH (Lon), a naturopath revered in his field who attended Charles’ coronation. Dr Mathai is known to believe that traditional cures can help cancer sufferers, and operates a number of free, community clinics across India, especially in remote locations, as well as luxury spas.
The website for the Soukya group says “classical Homeopathic medicine” works “in harmony with nature’s efforts to correct physiological and psychological imbalances” and adds: “Homeopathy is particularly effective in allergic respiratory conditions, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, hypertension, early cancer and AIDS. Counseling, nutrition and dietary advice and breathing techniques form a part of the treatment.” .
