Sathupalli couple in selfless service of chronic patients

Sathupalli: A couple, Suresh and Sudha, are rendering yeoman services to the society by offering free treatment to several patients suffering from long-term chronic ailments by the use of medicinal plants grown in their backyard, called ‘Nandana Vanam’.

Sudha has been securing saplings of these plants from other States and raising them in her backyard. The plants include ‘Insulin Plant’, ‘Lakshmana Phalam’ (Miracle Tree), ‘Passion fruit’, ‘Star fruit’, besides Kerala ‘Dondakai’ and ‘Usiri Komma’.

Speaking to The Hans India, Sudha said plants were raised in the backyard and on the rooftop in bags. The Insulin Plant and Lakshmana Phalam could be used for curing diabetes and cancer respectively.

I am raising about 1,000 such plants,” she informed.
