A basic acupuncture clinic is all about the environment. Nivetha’s arura clinic is so calm and soothing with added personal care of nivetha herself. I was skeptical at first about acupuncture, but trust me it worked, I surely did find a difference. Thank you nivetha for your care each day.

“I went there for Gerd and Acidity problem. After 7-8 sessions of needling, i felt somewhat better. But what i like about this Arura Acupuncture Studio was Dr. Nivedita’s kind gesture, pleasing attitude and smiling face. A very nice younger sister to me. The studio also has a good receptionist Tejawathy.”
