ENT (ear, nose, throat) diseases

I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

What will you get during an Ayurvedic session with our doctor?

Treatment with Ayurvedic remedies is the best way for various ENT (ear, nose, and throat) problems. Ayurvedic medicines take time to treat a variety of chronic conditions, but they work on the root cause of the problem and provide lasting results. There are thousands of plants in nature, and Ayurveda uses these plants in various healing and Ayurvedic procedures – to treat disorders of the human body.

The ears are not only the organs of hearing but also the organ of balance in the body. The nose not only smells, but also acts as a natural body moisturizer, and purifies the breathing air protecting the body from various germs. The throat provides proper air to the lungs and makes it easier for water and food to enter the digestive tract.

What Ayurveda says about ENT diseases:

Yoga, Prayanama is a highly recommended practice besides other Ayurvedic remedies for any ENT problems.

Problems with the ears – the unwillingness to hear – rage and irritation build-up, followed by inflammation.

If you have a great relationship with the surrounding, the throat will always be fine!

The nose is self-esteem and self-awareness of that personality! Runny nose – tears of the subconscious.
