Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 12

I am mostly grounded in classical Ayurveda—like the kind you find in the actual samhitas, not just modern diet trends floating around. I’ve always been drawn to how simple herbs and well-timed routines can shift someone’s health if done right. Honestly, I look at symptoms, yeah, but I’m more interested in *why* they’re showing up in the first place. That means listening closely, sometimes asking stuff patients don’t expect—sleep timings, what they eat when bored, how their mood’s been around meals—things that tell me way more than just dosha quiz type stuff. My work mostly focuses on matching treatment to *prakriti*, not just diagnosis. I try to make medicine that’s easy for ppl to access & stick to—not everyone’s up for long churnas n kashayams all the time. That said, I still follow core Ayurvedic logic—like how agni behaves, how dhatus respond, and what ahar they're missing (or overdoing). I also tweak diet plans to match the illness *and* their day-to-day lifestyle. What’s the point of a great protocol if they can’t actually follow it? I’ve been particularly into gut health—digestion problems, IBS-type patterns, acidity, bloating—those chronic things ppl think they have to live with. I also see skin flare-ups, hormonal issues (especially in young women), and stress-linked conditions, which are like, everywhere now. I use herbs, diet, and home-based hacks too, but only when they fit. I won’t just suggest something for the sake of it. Ritucharya comes up a lot too—I try getting ppl to align their habits seasonally, though ya sometimes they forget. I just remind them again next visit! Mental health gets looped in, even if someone walks in for skin—because most of these are connected anyway. End of the day I’m just tryna offer care that’s grounded, real, and doesn't confuse patients more than they already are. If they leave with clarity, some hope, and a plan they actually *get*, then I feel like the consult worked.

I am mostly into ortho cases these days—joint pain, back pain, sports injuries, arthritis, all that stuff where the body just stops cooperating. I’ve been focusing in this field for a bit over a year now, and honestly, even in this short time, you start to see how layered musculoskeletal issues really are. It’s rarely just “a sprain” or “bad posture”—sometimes it’s vata aggravation, sometimes just lifestyle or emotional stress messing with posture and healing. I kinda naturally lean towards combining both Ayurvedic and Allopathic stuff. Like, I won’t shy away from painkillers if someone’s really struggling, but I’ll also pair that with abhyanga, local pichu, or a kashayam based on what the person actually *needs* not just the textbook. I do a lot of integrative treatment—herbal medicines, panchakarma-based pain support, some physio routines if needed (esp for postural correction) and def recommend diet shifts to reduce inflammation when I sense it. When someone comes in with chronic knee pain or a stiff spine, I won’t just ask where it hurts—I’ll dig a bit: Are they sitting too long? Are they sleeping right? What dosha pattern is off? What food is heating them up or drying out tissues too fast? That stuff matters if you're trying to give lasting relief, not just temporary patchups. My real aim is to help ppl get back mobility, function and ease—not just symptom relief. That’s why I keep explaining things during sessions too—why we’re doing this lepa or skipping that oil, or why I’m asking them to avoid curd at night even tho they love it lol. When they get it, they follow better. This ortho work may be just a year in, but the learnings are already huge. I'm still figuring out my own systems, refining protocols—but the core is always same: look deeper, think integrative, and help the patient feel like their pain actually makes sense to someone.

I am practicing as an Ayurvedic consultant right now and honestly—every case kinda reminds me how layered this work really is. People walk in thinking they have just acidity or some ache or sleep trouble, but once we start talking, it’s often a whole mix—stress piling up, food habits out of sync, prakriti totally ignored for years. That’s where I feel Ayurveda gives you a wider lens. I don’t just jump into herbs and churnas, I try to pause and look at the full thing—what time do they eat? How’s their sleep? Are they stuck in a season that's aggravating their dosha and they don’t even kno it? Whether it’s PCOD, anxiety flares, neck pain that won’t go away, IBS, or fatigue that no lab report explains—I work through each case by mapping their doshic balance, mental state, even the tiniest day-to-day triggers. Not to overcomplicate but because otherwise we just keep chasing symptoms that come back. I use classical Ayurveda meds (mostly time-tested ones, no flashy shortcuts), plus small shifts in diet or daily routines—depends on the person, their life pace, their digestion etc. Panchakarma, when it fits, gets added carefully, not like a one-size-fits-all thing. I try to explain *why* I’m suggesting a lepa or a vati or a dinacharya rule—not just ask people to follow blindly. Once they get the logic, they’re usually more into it, they show up for themselves in a deeper way, which helps their healing stick. I kinda see myself not just as someone giving meds but helping ppl understand what their body’s been trying to tell them for years. If that part clicks, the rest starts to shift too—even if slowly. That’s what I focus on. Consistent, grounded, personal care that actually holds up over time.

I am working as a consultant physician at Punyakoti Ayurdhama for the past 5+ years and honestly that space kind of shaped everything for me—how I think, how I listen, how I build treatments from scratch. I’m deep into classical Ayurveda, but not in a stiff textbook-y way. I treat a whole mix—gut issues, back/neck pain stuff, skin flares, PCOD, stress cycles that just don’t stop, and those vague “off balance” things no one can pin down. And I don’t chase symptoms around—I start from Prakriti, try to figure out where the real misalignment happened, and then build the plan. Sometimes it’s just a few herbs and a routine reset. Other times it’s full-on Panchakarma with Rasayana follow-ups if the person’s depleted. I take that call after a lot of back-and-forth with the patient. Because healing is not a one-size-fit-thing ever. Most ppl I see need clarity more than anything—they’re tired of quick fixes, and I get that. So I explain stuff. Properly. Break down the why behind each part of the protocol, even if it takes time. And I don’t drop ppl after the consult either—follow-ups are part of the process. At Ayurdhama, I’ve seen how consistent care, proper detox timing, and small daily shifts (like Dinacharya & Ritucharya basics) totally change the game. Ayurveda isn’t just about “cure”, it’s more about tuning someone back to their natural pace... and I try to do that with each case, even if the road’s a bit messy or long. Keeps me learning too. Keeps me grounded.

I am trained in both BAMS and MD Ayurveda from Govt Ayurveda College in Maharashtra—where the days were honestly intense but also shaped everything I know abt treating from the roots. My focus areas are a bit varied, but they connect in their chronicity—like those persistent skin issues (acne, eczema, pigmentation), autoimmunity like Rheumatoid Arthritis, digestion mess-ups (hyperacidity, gas, slow metabolism), and yeah, hair & scalp probs—hair fall, dandruff, that kind of recurring stuff that doesn't go away with just shampoos or short detoxes. In clinic, I work a lot with classical tools like Nadi Pariksha & dosha mapping. Sounds simple, but it’s what lets me see what’s really not moving inside, what’s overactive, what needs calming. Joint disorders are frequent in my OPD—knee pain, swelling, stiffness, both inflammatory and wear-tear type—and I usually use a combo of internal herbs + external snehana or lepa depending on how flared up the patient is. Respiratory complaints too—like chronic sinus, sneezing streaks, seasonal coughs—I keep going back to classical rasayanas and diet reset instead of suppressants. Over time, what I noticed is, most people come when their health has become a cycle—bad sleep, bad gut, more symptoms. That’s where Ayurved shines, if we let it. I work a lot with Dinacharya principles, food discipline (not just restrictions), and simple stress resets people can actually stick with, not just aspirational stuff. My end goal? Not just “treat” eczema or acidity or hair fall, but help someone see *why* it showed up and how to not live in fear of its return. That’s where longterm healing starts. I don’t rush—it’s always case-by-case, slow sometimes, but layered, real, and body-specific.

I am a BAMS graduate and honestly, that’s where everything kinda started for me—those years diving deep into Ayurvedic anatomy, dravyaguna, pathology, chikitsa… all of it. It wasn’t just about memorizing slokas or protocols (though yeah, lots of that too) but learning *how* to see a body, a mind, a lifestyle—all together, not in pieces. That mindset stuck. Even now when someone walks into my clinic, I’m not really thinking “what symptoms do they have?” but more like—*why’s their system responding this way? where did the imbalance even begin?* My work mostly revolves around identifying that root cause, whether it's poor digestion wrecking immunity, or chronic stress triggering skin breakouts, or hormonal fluctuations leading to gut & mood swings at the same time. Ayurveda gave me tools to see those patterns and also gave me *time-tested* ways to fix them. I don’t rush into giving meds. I like understanding what the body’s trying to say first—like maybe it doesn’t need a strong formulation, maybe it just needs a better ahar routine or fewer stimulants or honestly, just better sleep. I use classical texts, but I mix in clinical practicality too, depending on what their job/lifestyle/kids/food habits allow. Whether I’m working with someone who has chronic acidity or low energy or is just trying to prevent future illness—I build around *them*. Herbal meds, diet guidance, daily routine hacks... sometimes even just helping them pause and listen to their own signals. And yeah, I try to keep my space open and calm—where patients don’t feel judged or rushed. I mean, healing is layered. I’m just here to make sure we’re looking in the right direction.

I am working as an Ayurvedic Consultant from the last 1.5 years—feels short in numbers maybe, but a *lot* of learning packed into that time. I see people with all sorts of health issues walk in, sometimes unsure, sometimes frustrated, and my whole focus is to just get to the core of what’s not working right in their system... not just what’s showing up on the outside. Most cases I take up involve something deeper—like weak agni, ama buildup, or dosha imbalances that’ve been there for years and nobody noticed. My way is simple, I’d say—go back to the classics, stick to the root cause, but adapt the treatments to fit modern life. I rely heavily on dietary shifts, cleaning up daily routines, and giving personalized herbal meds that the person can actually follow. Things like IBS, acne, fatigue, sleep trouble, anxiety, joint stiffness, hormonal messiness—these keep coming back in practice, and each needs a slightly different angle depending on the person’s prakriti and lifestyle rhythm. What keeps me going honestly is when patients start feeling lighter, or just more *like themselves* again. Doesn’t always happen fast, but when it does it’s really something. I’ve realized even one small thing—like getting proper bowel movement or deep sleep—can change a whole day for someone, and then it snowballs into bigger healing. That matters to me. I take time with case history, don’t rush through... I ask odd questions sometimes, like about food cravings or dreams, because they actually tell a lot. And while I don’t claim to fix everything, I do try to offer plans that make sense, that are doable, and that don't rely on harsh detoxes or complicated stuff unless really needed. I'm still learning every single day. I read, revise, discuss, watch patients closely—some patterns only show up over time, y’know? But I’m clear about one thing: healing has to be holistic, kind, and rooted in understanding—not just prescriptions or quick fixes. That's where I stay grounded.

I am currently doing my MS in Prasuti and Striroga from a govt. Ayurvedic college—honestly it’s intense but also really rewarding. This stream covers Ayurvedic obstetrics & gynecology, and day by day I'm getting to see how deep and layered women's health can be when you really start looking at it from both classical texts and practical cases. From teenage hormonal shifts to pregnancy care, postnatal healing, even menopause stuff—I'm trying to study it all with care, not just academically but with real curiosity about how these changes show up in day-to-day life. In the clinic setup, I’ve been working with a good range of cases: PCOD, menstrual issues, infertility, white discharge, even some fibroid and endometriosis cases here n there. Most of the time, I try to look beyond just symptoms—like okay, pain is there, but why? Is it the agni, is the dosha stuck, or maybe the lifestyle is pushing vata too much... Each woman brings her own story, and I really try not to jump into ready-made plans. I also lean a lot on Prakriti analysis and basic diet recall—it gives me a clearer idea of what to tweak. Detox (like shodhana therapies), hormone-balancing herbs, and rasayana plans are things I reach for often, but I also love creating small daily routines for patients that they actually *do*. Fancy therapies mean nothing if it overwhelms the person, right? Apart from clinicals, I do attend seminars, case meets n discussions regularly. I like staying in the loop—both to keep learning and to see what others are noticing in tough cases. I’ve also joined some local community sessions recently around menstrual awareness and it felt grounding, honestly. Still learning every day. But yeah—I try to bring sincerity and softness both into my work, even when the case feels complicated or slow-moving. Ayurveda really gives space for both science and patience.

I am someone who kind of grew into Ayurveda through two very different but connected roles—first as a hands-on pharmacist running an Ayurvedic pharmacy for years, and now as a practicing physician. That pharmacy phase wasn’t just about managing stock or dispensing formulas... it gave me a full-time seat with the herbs. Like, real-time learning on how each classical preparation behaves, what goes into making something truly potent, and honestly? what shortcuts to avoid. That part still stays with me—I'm still picky about quality and preparation when I prescribe. Since past 3 years I’m mostly focused on clinical practice—more patient-facing. And here’s where that background really helps. I use Nadi Pariksha and prakriti reading in most consults, but also keep checking how the medicine will actually perform based on their gut state, season, even their mental load sometimes. My approach is kinda layered—start with gut, fix agni, then move deeper. I don’t jump straight into long lists of herbs unless I’m clear on what the body can handle or absorb. Panchakarma I suggest when it’s really needed—esp for chronic buildup or deep-seated dosha imbalance. But a lot of people just need dietary realignment, daily routine tweaks and that consistent herbal support. I try keeping things doable, not overtheoretical. Whether it’s metabolic sluggishness or skin inflammation or hormonal noise—I go with long-haul plans, not band-aid stuff. Working both in pharmacy and clinic gave me this habit of questioning how and why something works—not just following texts blindly. That’s probly why many of my patients stick around, even when their case looked simple on the surface. Ayurveda works slow but strong, and I do my best to respect that.

I am practicing Ayurveda since over 20 years now—feels like a long time when I think abt how much I’ve seen, and how much I still learn everyday. My whole focus all these years has really been about *real* healing, not just symptom control. I work strictly by classical Ayurvedic principles, no shortcuts, no watered-down versions. Whether I’m treating arthritis or tricky metabolic things like NIDDM or even early IDDM (yes, seen some reversal too), my approach stays rooted in dosha-balancing and understanding the *why* behind the issue—not just slapping a label and moving on. Most of my cases are chronic ones—joint problems that have stayed for years, hormonal or autoimmune imbalances, Type 2 diabetes... or skin disorders that keep recurring even after modern meds. And in fertility concerns too, especially where conventional plans didn’t give any result, Ayurveda really does have solid ground to stand on—if it's done properly. I mean you can’t just give a herb and hope it works, right? You need to understand prakruti, doshas, agni, timings, combinations... every step. I also use my own experience with different Ayurvedic medicine brands and their true effectiveness over years—trust me, not all are the same. Over time I’ve sort of built my own system for figuring which herbs, which form (churna? vati? decoction?), how much dose, and when to give it. Even 10 minutes late in a day can change how some remedies work. My treatments usually combine internal herbal meds with panchakarma therapies when needed, and I always include diet and lifestyle correction, that's not optional—sometimes that's 60% of the cure already. I listen a lot before suggesting anything. Because sometimes patients are telling you their exact imbalance, they just don’t have the words for it. What I really try to do is create a practical yet personalized healing plan that respects both ancient knowledge and the individual’s daily life. Healing has to feel doable, not like a punishment. And if Ayurveda is used properly? It’s powerful, beyond what most people think.
