हमारी आयुर्वेदिक विशेषज्ञों की टीम — पृष्ठ 62

I am Dr. Shivam Joshi. Bit hard to describe this journey in neat lines, but anyway—I'm basically someone who grew into Ayurveda not just through study but through living it kinda closely. I studied at Akhandanand Ayurved Mahavidyalaya in Ahmedabad for BAMS, then went deeper into clinical and academic roots at ITRA Jamnagar. That place changed things for me honestly—gave me more than just degrees. Did both my MD and PhD there, and every phase kinda opened new layers of how I see healing. My focus is what we call Trimarma Vyadhi—diseases that affect the brain (manas/mastishka), heart (hridaya), and kidneys (vrikka). Not just as separate systems but as a netwrk where physical, mental, and emotional signals mix. Like someone's anxiety and kidney dysfunction might be more connected than people think. I try to look for those deeper dots. I follow this line—Chaitanya Sangrah. It's not just a motto, it’s more like a filter I use to see patients. Healing to me needs awareness—not just of the disease, but of the patient’s life, surroundings, thought-patterns, lifestyle... all that gets tangled with the body. That’s where my work begins. In my practice, I combine Panchakarma, Rasayana therapy, and classical herbs with some modern diagnostic tools—yeah, I’m fine using scans or reports if they help me see better. But the treatment part stays authentically Ayurvedic—root-cause based, non-suppressive, always personalisedd. I'm quite driven about patient education tbh. Like, it's one thing to give meds but if they don’t get why it happened or what to fix outside the clinic, we’re just patching things. My goal is to help them feel stable—not just physically but in their work, family, sleep cycle, digestion...basically the whole ecosystem of health. I work a lot with cases like chronic kidney issues, anxiety with body symptoms, heart conditions triggered by stress or bad ahar-vihar. I won’t lie—some cases feel heavy. But I’ve seen slow, natural healing work where quick fixes failed. And that keeps me going. Right now, I’m trying to keep refining how Ayurveda fits into modern daily lives, especially for ppl stuck in speed, screen-time & stress loops. True healing isn’t fast—but it’s real.

I am Dr. Sumit Verma, a BAMS practitioner who has spent years working with patients dealing with a wide range of chronic diseases — sometimes simple, sometimes deeply complex. My focus is on evidence-based Ayurvedic treatment and holistic care, because I genuinely belive healing isn’t just about fixing one symptom, it’s about understanding the entire system behind it. Over time, I’ve treated conditions linked to metabolism, helped people manage long-term issues like PCOD and diabetes, and worked with many gastrointestinal problems — things like chronic hyperacidity, bloating, irregular digestion, and even hyper tension which often hides deeper imbalances. Skin health is another area I care about a lot. Cases of psoriasis, eczema, acne — they’re not just skin-deep, they usually tell a bigger story about what’s happening inside the body. My approach always starts with a detailed diagnosis (I can’t rush that part even if I wanted to), followed by root-cause treatment, and then lifestyle modifications that make the results last. Sometimes it means slow progress, but real healing takes time and consistency — I tell this to almost every patient. One thing I hold onto strongly is a patient-first way of working. Every person who walks in has a different body, different patterns, and different challenges, so treatment should be just as individual. I try to listen carefully, even to the things patients think are “not important,” because they often hold the key to figuring out what’s really going on. I’m still learning, always refining how I blend classical Ayurvedic knowledge with practical, modern needs. It’s not always perfect — sometimes I question if I’m doing enough — but my goal is to guide each patient toward better balance, not just quick relief. That’s what makes this work meaningful to me.

I am working in Ayurveda since... what, 15 years now? maybe more. And honestly, I still feel like I’m learning something new every time a patient walks in with pain that just won’t go away. My main area is musculoskeletal and neuro disorders—gout, sciatica, arthritis, cervical issues, heel pain, frozen shoulder, migraine—you name it. Not just the usual oil massage thing ppl assume Ayurveda is. I go deep into nadi analysis, diet, history, dosha imbalance and all of that, and we try to fix why the pain is showing up in first place. I run a setup where we mix classical Ayurvedic treatments with supportive therapies that work well alongside. Yoga for stiffness and rebuilding movement, Neurotherapy for calming nerve-related stuff, cupping (Hijama) for draining stuck heat/toxins (some are scared of it but it helps, ngl), and Raktamokshan for deep inflammation conditions—it’s not for all, but when needed it does give solid relief. Each person I see gets a different plan. No ready-made booklet here. Panchakarma’s a big part when we need a full reset—especially for recurring things. I also look into food patterns, like really—what, when, how ppl eat makes a huge difference, but they often ignore it. Over time I’ve seen that ppl mostly want someone who listens, explains in plain language, and doesn’t push meds blindly. I just try to be that. And trust me, when a patient who limped in starts walking freely or stops needing painkillers daily—that satisfaction is what keeps me showing up again and again.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who finished my degree along with internship in Feb 2006. Right after that I started working as a RMO in Mumbai, which gave me good exposure to handle diffrent types of patients and emergencies on daily basis. By 2010 I decided to start my own practice, focusing on Ayurveda as the main line of care. Since that time I worked with many patients struggling with long standing conditions, lifestyle issues, or just looking for a better way of maintaining health without overdependence on harsh medicines. Over the years I realized Ayurveda isn’t only about prescribing herbs, it is about understanding the whole person, their habits, stress, sleep, diet and even environment. That thought slowly lead me to build something more holistic. In Pune, I developed a Panchkarma and Naturopathy wellness setup, right on the backwaters of Khadakwasla Dam, with the Sahyadri Hills in the backdrop. It’s a place where nature itself supports the healing process—calm water, fresh air, greenery all around. Patients who come there often tell me they feel relief just by stepping into that environment, even before therapy start. At the center we provide complete Panchkarma and Naturopathy therapies. These include detoxification treatments, stress management programs, diet and lifestyle counselling, and natural approaches for chronic issues like joint pain, gastric troubles, skin diseases or hormonal imbalance. I try to keep the care personalized, no single formula for everyone. For me the biggest achievement is watching patients improve not only in lab reports but also in how they sleep, walk, smile, eat… those small signs that tell health is coming back. I don’t claim quick magic results, but I do belive strongly that Ayurveda, when practiced with sincerity and combined with supportive environment, can create deep healing that last longer. And this is what I continue to do everyday in Pune, keeping patient wellbeing at the heart of my work.

I am someone who kinda grew into Panchakarma without planning it much at first... just knew I wanted to understand the deeper layers of Ayurveda, not just the surface stuff. I did both my graduation and post-grad from Govt. Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital in Bangalore — honestly that place shaped a lot of how I think about healing, especially long-term healing. After my PG, I started working right away as an Assistant Professor & consultant in the Panchakarma dept at a private Ayurveda college. Teaching kinda made me realise how much we ourselves learn by explaining things to others... and watching patients go through their detox journeys—real raw healing—was where I got hooked. Now, with around 6 years of clinical exp in Panchakarma practice, I'm working as an Associate Professor, still in the same dept., still learning, still teaching. I focus a lot on individualised protocols—Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all and honestly, that’s what makes it tricky but also beautiful. Right now I’m also doing my PhD, it’s on female infertility—a topic I feel not just academically drawn to but personally invested in, cause I see how complex and layered it gets for many women. Managing that along with academics and patient care isn’t super easy, I won’t lie, but it kinda fuels each other. The classroom work helps my clinical thinking, and my clinical work makes me question things in research more sharply. There's a lot I still wanna explore—especially in how we explain Panchakarma better to newer patients. Many people still think it's just oil massage or some spa thing but the depth is wayyy beyond that. I guess I keep hoping to make that clarity come through—whether it’s in class or during a consult or even during a quick OPD chat.

I am currently working as an Ayurvedic physician at Lekshmi Ayurveda Health Care Centre, Kovalam. I manage my own cases now—OP, follow-ups, therapies—all of it. It’s still surreal sometimes, but yeah I handle everything from digestive complaints n chronic stress to joint stiffness or lifestyle-linked stuff that won’t budge easy. My treatment plans mostly revolve around identifying *why* things are going wrong rather than just naming what’s wrong. Like, not just “gastritis” but okay—what’s the *real* trigger here? Weak agni? Food choices? Stress? That kind of layering helps, and I rely on classical Ayurvedic therapies, sometimes Panchakarma if needed, plus herbs, and daily routine tweaks ppl can *actually* stick to. Before this I got a chance to assist senior docs at NARIP Cheruthuruthi and also Govt Ayurveda Dispensary Poovachal—just for a month each but honestly those two months shaped me a lot. Like being thrown into the deep end but in a good way. Real patients, complex symptoms, watching the way experienced vaidyas read nadi, observed tiny details, explained stuff without overcomplicating. That’s where I started learning how Ayurvedic diagnosis isn't about ticking boxes, it’s like a full-body language you learn to hear over time. I’ve slowly built confidence dealing with musculoskeletal pains, gut health problems, detox cases, lifestyle disorders (you’d be surprised how many ppl struggle with the *same* bad habits), and stress conditions showing up physically. I don’t try to force results fast. I prefer sustainable healing—even if that takes some back n forth, as long as the root is addressed. I do a lot of lifestyle counselling—because yeah, treatment won’t work if your food-sleep-stress is out of whack right? Still learning every single day. Still making mistakes and correcting them. But every case adds something new to how I think as a doctor. And I really do believe Ayurveda has that space—for slow, deep, lasting change if we use it wisely.

I am someone who kinda grew into Ayurveda one layer at a time. Working as a CRAV physician at Arya Vaidya Pharmacy in Coimbatore really gave me that deep, solid base—got to train directly under Dr Krushnakumarji Varier sir, and trust me, that changed a lot in how I saw classical Ayurveda. Everything there was rooted in authenticity… like literally from the way we diagnosed a person (prakriti, dosha, samprapti patterns etc) to how we decided on every single chikitsa step. At AVP, I was constantly handling chronic, tricky cases—PCOD, IBS, asthma types, even some metabolic disorders. And not just managing them, but learning why they show up the way they do, and how rasayana, shodhana, or sometimes even just the right ahara-vihara mix can slowly turn things around. I was involved in full protocols—internal meds, Panchkarma plans, all that—with a mindset of “root cause first, not just patch-fix”. Now I’m practicing solo, running my own setup where I use that same flow I learned—individualized treatment, detailed case study, and working close with the patient on what makes their body tick. I handle a mix tbh: joint pains, gut imbalances, chronic fatigue, skin flares, nervous issues... depends on the season too sometimes. I use classical medicines, not shortcuts. And I won’t lie—some cases take time. But when you see someone’s pain go down, or digestion finally settle, or that one lady whose hairfall stopped after months... it’s kind of why I’m still at it. End of the day, I’m not reinventing anything. Just trying to apply Ayurved the way our texts meant it—pure, flexible, respectful to each patient’s needs. I do want to keep learning and maybe share more on how true Ayurveda can be both gentle and powerful, esp when done right.

I am someone who got deep into Ayurveda during my MS at Patanjali College & Hospital, Haridwar. That place really shaped my clinical understanding — not just through books but by actually seeing how people respond to therapies in real life. My main focus is on treating eye and ENT disorders... stuff like vision problems, sinus issues, ear-related troubles — and honestly, ayurveda gives us solid tools to manage these if done the right way, step by step. But over time, I also started working more with women facing PCOD, hormonal imbalance, fertility challenges — and that sort of became a second core area for me. It's not just about giving medicine, right? These cases need long-term care and trust. Hormonal systems are delicate, and ayurvedic approach can bring results when we go deep into nadi, agni, dosha status etc, not just symptoms. I'm also pretty drawn to skin cases — whether it’s pigmentation, acne that just doesn’t go away, or eczema types that flare up randomly. What I try is to find what’s underneath all that, the root doshic shifts, and use classical herbs, panchakarma and lifestyle support to restore some kind of balance — not overnight, but in a real sustained way. My training taught me not to rush, but to listen to how each patient body reacts. I try to mix internal meds, oil therapies, detox methods, and habit change... and yeah, sometimes small shifts make big difference. Most of the patients I work with are managing chronic issues — meaning they tried diff things before and either got temporary relief or not much at all. I take that seriously. I don’t promise quick cures but I do focus on giving every case proper time, a full analysis, and a path that suits *them*, not some textbook plan. Helping someone sleep again, or breathe better through nose after months of blocked sinuses — these things matter a lot. That’s what keeps me going tbh.

I am still kinda wrapping my head around how much has happned in just these last 8 months. I got to see over 500 patients—not just names on a file but real ppl with stories, symptoms that didn’t match books, and responses to treatment that taught me a lot more than classroom ever did. Every single case added something—sometimes confidence, sometimes doubt, but mostly clarity about why Ayurveda needs to be personal. That whole idea of root-cause isn’t just a phrase to me now, cause I’ve actually *done* the work of figuring it out—through prakriti reading, hetu analysis, tailoring herbs to that one stubborn thing that wouldn’t budge unless I got it right. Started off at the Govt Ayurveda Dispensary, Paingottoor (Mar-April 2024), juggling OPD and learning to keep things practical—what you *can* do with limited time and still follow classical line of treatment. Moved to Nellimattom next month, same OPD scene but somehow I felt more ready—like I knew what I was looking for during consultation. Then came the big shifts—District Ayurveda Hospital, Thodupuzha—Shalya Tantra for a month (May-June). Learning surgical concepts, wound management, minor procedures, all that opened up a whole diff layer of Ayurveda for me. After that was NARIP, Cheruthuruthy (June-July)—real-deal Panchakarma, hands-on, under ppl who *really* knew the texts and the techiques. I saw how deep detox can go when it’s done right. Then Shalakya Tantra (ENT + eye care, July-Aug)—very niche but suprisingly common complaints. By Sept I was at Sparsh Ayurvedic Clinic, Nellimattom, and that place blended modern diagnostics with our way of thinking. Helped me sharpen decisions fast, without losing authenticity of the classical tools. All that put together—it's shaped me into a doctor who listens more, assumes less, and keeps asking, "what’s *actually* causing this?” before reaching for a remedy. I want my patients to heal for real—not temporarily cope. That's the goal every single time.

I am Dr. Brijesh Kumar Verma, completed my BAMS from NEIAH Shillong, which gave me a strong base in classical ayurveda. Alongside that formal study, I always felt the need to go deeper into specific areas, so I took certificate courses from BHU and NIA Jaipur.. both places gave me different kind of exposure, like how preventive care can be applied practically and how therapeutic interventions need to be fine-tuned for each patient. Those learnings stick with me even today in daily practice. Right now I am working as a Resident Medical Officer, and this role really keeps me grounded. Being there round-the-clock means you see everything from minor issues to complex chronic cases, and you learn to make quick decisions but still with compassion. Hospital setting has pushed me to grow, to balance clinical accuracy with patient’s emotions, because people don’t just bring symptoms, they bring their worries, family pressure, sometimes even fear. In treatment, I focus on finding the root cause instead of patching symptoms. My plans are not cookie-cutter, I try to study prakriti, vikriti and then design a mix of herbs, Panchakarma where suitable, and lifestyle changes that are doable. I also stress preventive care, simple dinacharya and diet corrections can make a big shift if someone is willing to commit. Ayurveda for me is not only old wisdom but something that must adapt to current times. I like staying updated, reading newer clinical work, and merging that with authentic principles. Patients deserve ethical care, no shortcuts, and I want to keep refining myself as a physician who can deliver sustainable healing. Each consultation I see as a chance to bring someone a little closer to balance—body, mind, spirit—and that thought keeps me moving forward everyday.
