Miskawaan is an integrated health clinic based in Bangkok, Thailand, which takes a holistic approach to health to give patients a fuller understanding of their own health. Combining natural medicine with state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, patients at Miskawaan can combine their travels with a full health checkup to boost their physical health while working on their emotional and mental health in a luxury setting. Miskawaan’s analytical technology and comprehensive treatment options enable guests to make meaningful lifestyle changes that will aid their overall wellbeing into the future. Recently, Miskawaan expanded to incorporate accommodation at luxury villas in Koh Samui to bring patients additional package options in relaxation and corporate retreats, as well as launching a centre in Hong Kong to help guests get the most from their stay with pre- and post-visit testing.
The US$4.2 trillion wellness industry is driven by its desire to enable better, healthier lifestyles that eliminate preventable diseases and reduce the risks and impacts of unavoidable health issues.
