About Us
Welcome to misaa.my—your gateway to traditional healing in today’s Malaysia. The Malaysian Indian Siddha Ayurveda Association (MISAA) stands for preserving, promoting, and growing the practice of Ayurveda and Siddha in Malaysia. We’re all about education, research, and sharing the wisdom of Traditional Indian Medicine (TIM). And when it comes to treatments, herbal medicines, or consultations, we keep things authentic.
MISAA pulls together with government agencies, NGOs, and practitioners to tighten standards, encourage teamwork, and make sure Siddha and Ayurveda have a future. We’re that bridge between tradition and modern life. We’re also building connections with other Asian healing traditions—Chinese, Malay, Thai, Indonesian—to shape a health system that feels both complete and deeply rooted in our culture.
