Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 10

I am someone who walks between two systems—Ayurveda and modern medicine—and that’s shaped pretty much everything about how I treat. I’ve got six+ years of clinical experience, with the first two years grounded in allopathic practice, followed by four years of dedicated Ayurvedic care, mostly focused on cancer management. That blend—classical Ayurveda backed by a proper understanding of diagnostics, labs, imaging—all of that helps me hold space for patients with complicated health stories. Especially when the diagnosis is something as heavy as cancer. My main work is with people going through cancer—whether they’re in chemo cycles, post-surgery, or trying to manage long-term side effects. I don’t promise miracle cures or shortcuts. What I do is support their vitality, reduce fatigue, boost digestion, manage pain where possible, and work on immunity using Ayurvedic formulations, diet, and cleansing routines like *shodhana*. But all of it is highly tailored. Like, I don’t use the same protocol for a breast cancer patient in post-op recovery and someone dealing with advanced GI malignancy. Their *prakriti*, stage, energy levels, appetite, even emotional state... it all guides what I offer. What I’ve learnt is, beyond meds and therapies, patients need clarity. They need someone who’ll listen properly. I try to give them that—through long consults, steady follow-ups, and honest explanations. Whether they choose to combine my care with mainstream oncology or come looking for support after finishing allopathy, I respect both routes. I also regularly interpret their reports—bloodwork, PET scans, histopathology—and map that alongside their *vikriti* from an Ayurvedic lens. It’s that dual view that often makes my approach feel more complete. Aside from cancer, I also work with chronic fatigue, digestion problems, inflammation-related pain, and post-COVID cases. But no matter what the issue is, my core goal stays same: restore balance, without forcing it. Healing has to be steady. Sustainable. And most of all, human.

I am currently working as a Consultant Physician at Ayur Brahma Wellness, where I sort of bridge two worlds—general medicine and Ayurvedic lifestyle care. I started out as a General Physician, two solid years in a hospital setup, managing everything from fevers that wouldn’t quit to chronic stuff like hypertension and diabetes. That phase gave me a strong base in diagnostics and quick decision-making, but somewhere along the way I started asking—what happens after the prescription ends? What *really* helps people stay well? That’s when I got drawn deeper into preventive care. More than just managing disease, I wanted to understand how daily choices—food, habits, rest, even thoughts—shape our long-term health. To follow that path more properly, I went for a Diploma in Ayurveda Nutrition and Dietetics from TDU, Bangalore. That course kinda restructured how I look at food entirely. Not just calories or macros, but *dravyaguna*, seasonal logic, gut-agni balance, and so much more. I now work with a lot of patients on diet correction—not in a rigid, eat-this-not-that way—but in a rhythm-based, constitution-aligned way. Apart from lifestyle disorders and gut stuff, I also focus on prenatal care through *Garbhasanskar*. I’m certified in it, and honestly, working with expecting mothers is something I take very seriously. The prenatal phase is delicate and also beautiful. I guide mothers on Ayurvedic routines, sattvic food habits, mantras, yoga, and emotional care—things that are rarely part of modern antenatal protocols but so powerful if done with intention. In my practice I blend lab reports and clinical observations with what the *prakriti* and *vikriti* of a person are showing. Sometimes the issue looks the same on paper but feels totally different in real life—that’s where Ayurveda steps in. I use herbal support, detox if needed, daily routine correction, but mostly I try to *listen* carefully. That’s where the healing begins I think. With honest, informed conversation. My goal? Help people build a system they don’t have to keep fixing. Something natural, balanced, and suited to who they really are.

I am a practicing Nadi Vaidya who works mostly with diabetes and related lifestyle conditions, but my actual work starts way before any lab report. I rely on classical *Nadi Pariksha*—pulse reading—as the first tool to see what’s going on inside. Not just sugar levels, but dosha shifts, digestive fire, subtle imbalances that might not even show up in modern scans yet. And I trust it. With time and practice, it’s become the most honest guide I have. My main area is helping people reverse Type 2 diabetes using full-fledged Ayurvedic protocols—not shortcuts or just switching to "herbal" pills. I see diabetes as a *metabolic collapse*, not just glucose stuck in the blood. Which means we need to fix Agni, build back strength, align sleep and food timing, and yes, change how stress is handled too. That’s where diet, herbs, and *Dinacharya* fit in. And when needed, I add Panchakarma—after preparing the body properly, not rushing it. I've worked with many patients who were tired of long-term meds, who felt their bodies were slipping even though the numbers looked "under control." With time, discipline, and right guidance—they didn’t just lower sugar. They felt lighter, clearer, more *stable.* It’s not magic, it’s actually a science. But one that works better when it’s personalized, not mass-produced. Each case starts with understanding their *prakriti*, where their Agni stands, and what layer of imbalance is dominant. Sometimes it’s Kapha, sometimes vata masking under it. That subtlety matters in treatment. The smallest detail in pulse can change the direction of the whole plan. I believe diabetes isn’t life sentence. Not if you catch it in time and handle it at the root level. My goal is not just to reduce medication use—it’s to help people feel in control again, without fear of food or guilt about lifestyle. And to remind them that Ayurveda is not “alternative” to anything. It *is* a complete medical system. You just have to know where to look.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained from Ayurveda College in Coimbatore (BAMS), and my interest kinda kept pulling me deeper into hands-on healing work, not just textbook stuff. I always felt Ayurveda isn’t only about herbs or diet—it’s energy, touch, breath, and rhythm too. That’s why I went for extra training where I could *feel* the therapies more, not just read about them. I did a 1-month Certificate Course in Marma Chikitsa (CCMC), and honestly that changed the way I look at chronic pain and joint issues. Working on marma points—it's subtle but powerful. Some patients came in barely able to move their arm, and after a few sessions of proper point work, plus oil and heat, they could raise it again without wincing. Stuff like that really stayed with me. Then I did the 3-month Panchakarma certification (CCPT). That was full-on. The protocols, the oils, the sequence—you can’t shortcut any of it. I learnt how deep detox actually helps with lifestyle disorders, not in a flashy cleanse way but by clearing old blocks. I’ve used it for patients with skin issues, gut disturbances, even hormonal things like PCOD and sluggish thyroid... the results speak slow but strong. I also completed YIC from S-VYASA University cause I felt like something was missing on the *mind* side of healing. Now I use yoga in my prescriptions too—sometimes just 3–4 poses a day, or breathwork when someone’s wired or anxious. That balance between herbs, detox, and mind-body realignment... that’s where I feel Ayurveda really shows its strength. What I care about is not just the disease label, but the prakriti, the real imbalance beneath. I always try to listen well before writing anything down. Whether it’s chronic fatigue, wound healing, menstrual irregularity or random digestion that’s always off—I look for a treatment path that’s practical and natural and still rooted in shastra. That’s the goal really. To help each patient feel like their healing has a clear direction, not just trial-and-error again.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with about 2 years of hands-on clinical work, and honestly, every day still teaches me something new. My core focus is always on the person, not just their illness or diagnosis. I don’t go after symptoms alone—what I really try to do is understand *why* something’s off in the first place. Once you trace the imbalance back to its root, the rest makes more sense. Most of the time, it's not just one thing. It could be diet, stress, wrong habits, even seasonal shifts messing with the doshas. I usually start by looking into the patient’s *Prakriti* (their baseline nature) and *Vikriti* (what’s out of balance right now). That gives me a better map to work with. Based on that, I suggest personalized internal medicines—herbal of course—paired with stuff like *Abhyanga*, *Panchakarma*, or smaller daily tweaks to bring the system back into sync. Sometimes it’s the simple things that do the most. A right herb at the right time. Or a wrong food causing all the fire (literally, Pitta overload... it’s a thing.) I also spend quite a bit of time explaining things to patients. Not everyone comes in knowing what *Dinacharya* or *Ritucharya* even mean, and that’s okay. But once they get it—it clicks. Small shifts like changing what they eat in monsoon or fixing sleep can do more than people expect. Whether someone’s dealing with IBS, menstrual issues, breakouts, or just feeling meh all the time with no clear answer—I try to put the pieces together without rushing into heavy meds or harsh cleanses. Clinical experience has taught me patience (which I didn’t always have), and the importance of ongoing learning. I keep going back to the texts, case notes, and even modern journals here n there. I feel I still have a long way to go but that’s the exciting part. Each patient’s story is different. My goal is to help them feel heard and walk them through healing that’s slow maybe, but solid and real—not forced.

I am an Ayurvedic Consultant mostly working with women who're struggling with PCOD, irregular periods, infertility and honestly... all the frustrating hormonal stuff no one really talks about enough. Over the years, I’ve kinda made it my thing to help them figure out what’s really going on underneath — not just masking the symptoms but digging into whether it’s stress, sluggish digestion, or just the body being outta sync hormonally. My approach is all about personalized Ayurvedic care, and I don’t mean a one-size-fits-all kit. I use classical Ayurvedic principles (yep, the stuff in the ancient texts) but I also try to make sense of modern diagnostics too. You know, like understanding scan results or hormonal lab values so I can bridge both sides and guide better. Treatments usually involve herbal formulations, Panchakarma (when needed), and daily habit tweaks. Some call it lifestyle modification but I try to keep it real and do-able. Most of the patients I see come in either totally exhausted from trying synthetic hormone therapies or completely confused about their cycle patterns. And I get it. I've worked with women who've missed periods for months, dealt with painful ovulation, or couldn’t conceive despite “everything looking normal” in reports. With steady care, herbs, body detox, and better eating rhythms — many of them got their cycle back on track. Some even conceived naturally, no IVF, no hormonal overload. I also see a lot of skin issues — not just acne but things like psoriasis, urticaria, recurring fungal patches, eczema. In most cases, it’s not just about slapping on a cream. I look at internal detox, blood purification, gut balancing, and the right external herbal application. When the inside clears up, the outside often does too. Sometimes slow, but the relief lasts longer. My goal? Hmm.. I think it’s to make Ayurveda feel approachable, practical, and not like some mystic ritual. Healing should feel grounded. If you’re dealing with chronic skin problems or can’t figure out what your cycle wants from you anymore, maybe we can talk it through and build something that actually works. Not promising miracles, but I do believe in the body’s ability to reset — with the right kind of nudge.

I am someone who kinda grew into Ayurveda by doing, not just reading. My one-year internship at SDM Hospital in Bengaluru gave me the first proper feel of real-time clinical Ayurveda. I rotated through Kayachikitsa, Shalya, Shalakya, Prasooti Tantra, Panchakarma—all of it. Each dept showed me a different face of patient care. Like, I saw how internal med isn’t just about herbs; sometimes it's timing, sometimes just listening better. Surgery dept wasn’t always sharp tools—it taught me precision and decision-making. Panchakarma was a diff. world altogether—full of subtleties that textbooks rarely mention, especially when patients respond in unexpected ways. After that, I took 3 months off to train deeper at the Ayurvedic Research & Training Institute in Palakkad. That place—being in Kerala—had this raw, classical vibe. We weren’t just reading Charaka, we were trying to apply it. The daily exposure to Kerala-style chikitsa opened up a new way of seeing therapies—like not rushing shodhan when shaman could hold, or understanding how terrain, humidity, local ahar all play roles in outcomes. I got to observe a lot of deep-rooted chronic cases being handled with real patience n clarity. Learned a lot just by being there and watching closely. Since then, my work’s mostly centered around practical, customized care. I rely heavily on dosha analysis, food history, lifestyle mapping before even thinking of medicine. I lean into Panchakarma only when needed—no overdetox stuff. Whether it’s vataj vyadhi or skin issues or stress stuck in the gut, I try to stay honest to the classics but also adjust to modern life patterns—cause half the patients who come don’t live like the people in Ashtanga Hridayam. Ayurveda’s a long game. And I guess I’m ok walking that slower path with ppl who’re ready to actually shift—not just mask symptoms for 3 weeks n bounce back to the same patterns. That’s kinda where I’m at now.

I am someone who's been working in clinical Ayurveda for a little over two years now—it’s not a super long time maybe, but honestly, it’s felt intense and steady. Every patient I’ve seen has kinda shaped how I think, like how prakriti isn’t always what it looks on paper, or how stress messes with agni in ways you can't treat by just giving a churnam and moving on. I’ve worked a lot with chronic stuff—gut issues mostly, but also anxiety patterns, weird skin flare-ups, all that in-between stuff people often carry around for *years*. I mostly stick to classical approaches—deep dive into dosha imbalances, samprapti, seasonal impacts etc.—but I try not to get rigid. Some ppl need structure, others get overwhelmed by rules, and I try to adjust without losing the core of Ayurveda. I’m big on dietary mapping too, not just “avoid viruddha ahara” types but like… helping them understand *why* certain food triggers them. Same with daily routine—sometimes just shifting one small thing (like dinner timing or screen breaks) makes a bigger dent than any capsule. When it fits, I go for Panchakarma—especially when I sense the body’s ready and not just when they ask for “detox.” I’ll wait if I have to, explain things if they’re unsure. I also write things down carefully after each consult—not just for followup but to spot patterns across weeks. And yeah, I do believe in patient education… not preachy stuff, but just sharing bits that stick. Like “don’t eat in a hurry” sounds basic, but many ppl forget what it feels like to eat slowly. This practice keeps pulling me deeper each month. I’ve learned to listen better, not just to complaints but like to the pauses, to what they *don’t* say sometimes. That part matters more than we admit. Anyway, I just try to stay rooted, stay honest, and bring this whole Ayurvedic way into real daily healing—not textbook perfect but something that makes sense for the person sitting in front of me.

I am someone who kinda learnt early that real clinical exposure teaches more than textbooks ever cud. I started off at Shri Jayachamarajendra Ayurveda and Unani Hospital in Bengaluru—worked there for like 6 months and honestly that phase really grounded me. Not just in pulse reading n prakriti stuff but actually *watching* how classical chikitsa gets applied in everyday cases... seeing ppl walk in confused and leave feeling lighter. That stuck with me. Then came my 2 months at NIMHANS—wasn’t sure what to expect but it changed a lot for me. Psychiatry was intense in a way I hadn’t felt before. But what I appreciated was getting to see how Ayurveda n modern psych can sort of... meet halfway? That training made me more sensitive to things like stress layers, sleep burnout, panic loops, psychosomatic stuff. Helped me see the mind as more than manas n doshas—it’s also how ppl hold pain, stories, trauma... all of it. After that, I got placed at K.C. General Hospital and Govt Ayurveda Dispensary in Hirehalli, Tumkuru—both for 2 months each. One was more urban fast-paced, the other super grounded and rural. The combo gave me a balance—urban diabetes cases, rural joint pain legends, random infections, chronic skin, seasonal fevers, fertility troubles. Each space forced me to slow down, listen more, tweak things when standard protocols didn’t fit. Then came the Epidemic Disease Hospital rotation in Bengaluru... different vibe altogether. Suddenly you're not treating *one* person but thinking in terms of clusters, outbreaks, risk zones. It pushed me to think of Ayurveda not just in terms of herbs or rituals—but as a public health tool, too. How can we prevent spread, support immunity, work with communities in crisis mode... that was new for me, and useful too. All this—it shaped how I practice now. I don’t just write a herb list and send ppl off. I try to read their patterns, ask weird questions, make sure they’re heard properly. My approach is deeply classical but also very real-world, cos real patients aren’t in textbooks. They’re in front of you, with layers. I try to meet them there.

I am Dr. Aishwarya Mahajan, and honestly, my journey into Ayurveda wasn’t about just getting a degree—it’s been more of this evolving relationship with how the body heals itself when you actually listen to it. I did my BAMS, sure, but what really changed things was seeing real ppl struggle with gut issues, weird hormonal shifts, daily fatigue—and how Ayurveda had answers that weren’t just about pills n patches. I mostly focus on gut health (it’s kinda the base of everything honestly), women’s wellness, metabolic mess-ups like PCOS, thyroid swings, even sugar highs—plus lifestyle disorders that sneak in when routines go wild. My way isn’t about giving long list of herbs n telling people to “just relax.” Nah. I try to figure out *why* your system lost its rhythm—maybe your sleep's outta sync, maybe your agni’s down, maybe your work-life cycle is a total mess. Then I build diet suggestions, healing routines, herbal stuff—bit by bit, real life stuff, not Insta Ayurveda hacks. Right now, I do online consults, which honestly helps me reach patients sitting in cities, towns—even abroad. Doesn’t matter where you are if you’re ready to take healing seriously. My sessions usually go into your prakriti-vikriti state, daily patterns, stress, gut signs—all that. I read between lines, because sometimes symptoms don’t say everything but your story kinda does. Also, I keep learning. I read. I re-read. I question—like why did this work for one patient and not another? What else does Charaka or Ashtanga say about this pattern? I’m not claiming to know it all—but I care a lot. And yeah, I talk about Ayurveda like it’s not ancient—it’s just timeless. My vision really is to make it feel real, relevant, and not stuck in textbooks. Healing should be natural, but also practical. That’s what I try to do everyday.
