This media file is a newspaper clipping from the "STAR OF MYSORE" published on "Sunday 10th August 2003." The clipping, which appears slightly yellowed with age, features a prominent black-and-white photograph of a woman named Radha Mallappa and an accompanying article titled "A healer for doctors too." The photograph shows Radha Mallappa from the chest up, looking directly at the camera with a composed expression. She has dark hair, a bindi on her forehead, and is wearing traditional Indian attire along with a necklace. The article details Radha Mallappa's life and work as a traditional healer in Mysuru, India. It identifies her as a 39-year-old "doctor sans an MBBS qualification" who has treated over 2,680 patients for conditions such as joint pain, muscle pain, and nervous weakness. The text explains that she developed her healing method after recovering from severe knee-joint pain with treatment from Raghavan of Kottayam, Kerala. She treats patients at her residence in Bannimantap, affirming that "Allopathy does not cure these ailments" and charging for the medicines she prepares. She attends to approximately 30 patients daily. Notable details include her role as President of Kalashri Mahila Samaja and her hobbies of painting, knitting, handicrafts, and "best out of waste" creations. She received the Kittur Rani Chennamma award from the Women and Child Development Department, with strong support from her husband, Mr. Mallappa. Contact information is provided as "No. 6, HIG, III Stage, Hanumanthanagar, Bannimantap." The clipping functions as a feature story highlighting her contributions as a community healer.
