Dr. Sindhushree Ballakkuraya

CARI Bengaluru

Doctor information
Experience:
4 years
Education:
KAMC Manglore and SDM Udupi
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mainly working in Panchakarma and Garbha Sanskar, two areas I feel have such deep impact on health if done right. Panchakarma for me is not just a set of detox procedures, it’s a way to reset the body’s balance when other treatments keep failing. I like to plan it around the person’s real needs, not just the general protocol—sometimes we need to go slow, other times more intensive. Garbha Sanskar is a whole different kind of work… it’s about preparing the body and mind for healthy conception and pregnancy, and guiding expectant parents through diet, lifestyle, even thoughts that nurture the baby’s growth. I often mix classical Ayurvedic guidelines with practical advice that fits today’s life (yes, even if you are working 9 to 6). Some days are full of long sessions, oils, and herbs everywhere, and other days it’s just counseling and listening, which honestly can be as healing as the treatment itself.
Achievements:
I am someone who worked on a full thesis in my PG days all about obesity, and yeah that meant a lot of late nights with data and not so great chai. Published 3 articles during the course too. In practice I’ve managed to treat quite a few lifestyle & degenerative disorders through Panchakarma, some cases still feel fresh in mind. Also counseled 4 couples for Garbhasanskar, all went through healthy pregnancies and babies—those moments kinda stay with you forever.

I am working in healthcare for a while now – 4 years in clinical practice and 2 years in research. Feels like both sides of the work teach you different things, but they also connect in ways I didn’t expect. In clinic, you see people in pain, confused, or sometimes just lost about what’s going on with their health. You learn to listen first, then decide how to act. My focus has been to look at symptoms in detail, match them with proper diagnosis, and make treatment plans that actually fit the person’s life, not just the textbook idea. Research on the other hand slows you down... makes you double check every small assumption. Those 2 years taught me how data and evidence can make treatment sharper and safer. I got used to digging into medical literature, documenting cases properly, and seeing how small changes in approach can improve outcomes over time. Somewhere in between, I started noticing how important it is to connect modern diagnostics with practical, hands-on patient care. It’s not just about giving the right medicine—it’s also about explaining why and how it’ll work, and making sure the patient feels part of the process. I’m still learning daily, still adapting. Some days it’s busy and messy, with charts piling up and notes half-finished, but I think that’s the real life of medicine… you keep balancing between the science you study and the human in front of you.
