I am Dr. Sushma M, an Ayurvedic doctor with over 20 years of clinical experience dedicated to preventive healthcare and holistic healing. My core philosophy in practice revolves around preventing disease before it manifests, using Ayurvedic dietary principles and lifestyle regulation as powerful tools to maintain balance and well-being. I strongly believe that true healing begins with understanding the individual constitution (Prakriti) and addressing imbalances at their root rather than simply managing symptoms. Along with classical Ayurvedic treatments, I incorporate color therapy and traditional energy medicine into my practice. These natural healing modalities allow me to work on both the physical and subtle energy levels of the patient, supporting emotional and mental well-being as part of the healing process. By combining diet-based preventive care with personalized therapies, I aim to offer a holistic path toward long-term health and vitality. My approach is patient-centric, focused on identifying the underlying cause of disease and guiding individuals with compassion and clarity through natural, sustainable healing methods. Over the years, I have witnessed the deep transformation that comes from restoring harmony in body, mind, and spirit—something that modern medicine often overlooks. I am committed to continuing this integrative approach to help my patients achieve a state of true health through time-tested Ayurvedic wisdom.

Over the past eight months, I have had the opportunity to manage and treat more than 500 patients, allowing me to sharpen my clinical skills and deepen my understanding of individualized Ayurvedic care. My experience spans a wide range of conditions, and I have focused on offering root-cause-based treatment using classical diagnostic tools, personalized herbal formulations, and therapeutic protocols grounded in traditional wisdom. During my internship, I trained across several esteemed institutions that enriched my knowledge in both core Ayurvedic disciplines and integrative care. I began at the Government Ayurveda Dispensary, Paingottoor (12/03/2024 to 11/04/2024), where I handled general OPD responsibilities and learned to apply practical Ayurvedic principles in community healthcare settings. This was followed by a month at the Government Ayurveda Dispensary, Nellimattom (12/04/2024 to 11/05/2024), where I strengthened my foundation in Ayurvedic case management and preventive care. I then trained at the District Ayurveda Hospital, Thodupuzha in the departments of Shalya Tantra (surgical care, 12/05/2024 to 11/06/2024) and Shalakya Tantra (ENT and ophthalmology, 12/07/2024 to 11/08/2024), gaining essential exposure to specialized treatments and patient procedures. I also interned at the National Ayurvedic Research Institute for Panchakarma, Cheruthuruthy (12/06/2024 to 11/07/2024), where I had hands-on training in classical Panchakarma therapies and detoxification protocols under expert supervision. In September 2024, I joined Sparsh Ayurvedic Clinic, Nellimattom, which follows an integrated medical approach. This experience allowed me to engage with both Ayurvedic and modern diagnostic perspectives, further enhancing my clinical decision-making and patient management skills. Through each of these roles, I have developed a patient-centered, holistic approach to healing—focused on treating the individual, not just the disease. My goal is to apply authentic Ayurvedic knowledge in a modern healthcare context while promoting long-term health, balance, and well-being for every patient I serve.
