Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 15

I am an Ayurvedic general medicine consultant with a kinda mixed bag of offline and now mostly online clinical work. Started off with regular OPDs and inpatient rounds, back then it was mostly acute stuff—joint sprains, fevers, gastritis, some real bad constipation cases too (those come a lot actually). I was seeing how classical line of treatment can still handle pretty modern-day health issues if you just pay attention to Agni, Doshas, and also, well—the patient’s daily life. Now for the last 3+ years, I’m mostly into digital practice, offering Ayurvedic consultations online—Pan-India, sometimes international too. Each case still surprises me. Like, a basic acidity complaint might turn out to be an underlying Pitta-vitiation + bad sleep + wrong food timings... everything layered. I read the prakriti, ahar-vihar habits, symptoms, sometimes even subtle stuff ppl forget to mention first. And then build a plan that *they can actually follow*, not something too textbooky. Herbs, diet tweaks, daily routines—plus advice if they’re already taking modern meds, because I do get ppl who are already on treatment n just want Ayurvedic support without messing anything up. I usually deal with digestive probs (reflux, IBS, sluggish Agni types), stress disorders, hormonal shifts, weight issues, respiratory flares, even vague fatigue or stiffness that’s kinda hard to name but keeps coming back. I believe Ayurveda can prevent, not just cure—but that takes commitment both ways. I try to be clear about that. Mostly I just want to make this system reachable and real. Not mystical, not old-school in a scary way, but effective, safe, logical. And honest. If something needs longer time or referral or integration—I say it. If something is ama-aggravated, or Dhatu-level depletion, I explain that too. I’m still learning every day, reading, sometimes unlearning too—but yeah this path is steady and worth it.

I am Dr. Anusree Ajay, currently working as Resident Medical Officer at Sacred Lotus, Fort Kochi—yeah, right by the coast in Kerala where the calm air kinda matches the pace we try to set for healing here. What I do isn’t just textbook Ayurveda. It’s more of a lived thing—real ppl, real conditions, real shifts when care gets personal and consistent. My focus? Blending the old roots of classical Ayurvedic wisdom with how ppl live today... cos yeah, daily habits, stress, food, all that stuff counts way more than we realise. At the clinic, I handle a bit of everything—from initial consults, pulse reading, designing care plans, Panchakarma coordination, to helping ppl understand *why* their system keeps going outta sync. Every therapy we suggest is based on prakriti & vikriti, not one-size-fits-all stuff. And it’s not just herbs or treatments—it’s diet hacks, lifestyle reroutes, sometimes even sleep correction. All of it needs patience n trust—on both sides. I work closely with a mixed team—massage therapists, nutrition folks, even yoga teachers when needed. There’s a rhythm to it, like one step leads to the next. Patients come in with chronic fatigue, skin breakouts, digestion stuck for years, or stress piled up so high it shows up in the body. I help piece it apart, not rush the healing. Learning’s kinda non-stop in this space. I keep updating myself with newer integrative ways too—if it helps ppl recover better, I wanna know. That said, I don’t dilute Ayurveda down to trends—it’s deep, it works, but only when we respect its depth. Anyway, Sacred Lotus isn’t just a clinic—it’s where I’ve grown into this role, day by day. And honestly, being able to listen, reassure, and walk someone thru healing... yeah, that still feels like something worth showing up for everyday.

I am an Ayurvedic physican who's spent over 17 yrs now working in real-life clinics—not just textbooks or theories. I've treated more than 20,000 patients across different backgrounds n health setups. And honestly? every single one taught me something new. What really shapes my approach is Nadi Pariksha. That ancient pulse reading method—sounds simple but when done right, it digs *deep*, shows you things blood reports don’t. It kinda forms the base for how I build most of my treatments. Now my strong suit? Panchakarma. That whole detox n rasayana angle of Ayurveda... I’ve leaned heavily on it for treating chronic stuff—gut problems, hormonal swings, lifestyle mess-ups, stress burnout, even autoimmunity flare-ups. I also use Viddha Karma (therapeutic bloodletting) & Agnikarma (targeted heat therapy) a lot, esp for bone n joint pain, sciatica, nerve issues, frozen shoulder types... works well when you *catch* the imbalance early. But yeah—Ayurveda’s not just about herbs or massage, it’s about knowing who the person *is.* I try explaining prakriti-vikriti during consults—not to sound wise, but coz when ppl get their own patterns, they start caring for their health different. Like... they *get it*, yk? And that changes outcomes in the long run more than any medicine sometimes. Clinical success for me doesn’t mean one-time relief. I kinda focus more on whether someone stops relapsing, whether they feel in charge of their healing journey. I'm still learning tho—keep going to seminars, following research updates, etc. Trying to blend the classics with newer demands, making Ayurveda accessible but real—not repackaged fluff. This work feels like purpose. I just wanna keep it honest, skillful, and human.

I am a BAMS graduate with an MD (Ayush), and honestly, I’ve always kinda leaned toward the preventive & holistic side of medicine... not just chasing symptoms, yk? I also went deeper into skin through a Certificate in Ayurvedic Dermatology (CAD), which really changed the way I see dermatological issues. Skin isn’t just surface—it reflects digestion, stress, metabolism, agni, doshas... it’s all linked. That’s exactly how I treat—layer by layer, dosha by dosha, not with some one-size fits all cream or oil. My main thing is figuring out what’s *behind* the disease—like, why that eczema keeps flaring or why someone’s acne won’t calm down even after “clean” diets or expensive treatments. I use a combo of classical formulations, detox therapies like virechana or raktamokshana when needed, but also build custom routines around the patient’s prakriti, their habits, stress loops... all of it. You can’t separate skin from lifestyle. Or digestion. Or sleep. People miss that. And even outside skin—I look at the whole system. I give a lot of time to understanding what people eat, how they breathe, what patterns they’ve gotten stuck in, how toxic load is building up... My work’s always been about restoring *balance*, not just relief. Long-term stuff, not temporary hacks. I guess the academic part helps too—keeps me rooted in the classics but I’m constantly adapting it for modern lives, urban routines, changing diets. I don’t believe Ayurveda has to be rigid—it just has to be authentic. If you know the core principles, you can apply them anywhere, whether someone’s struggling with hormonal issues, rosacea, or full-body pitta imbalance. Some patients come to me after years of trying everything—like, nothing worked or worked only a bit—and that’s where this approach shines. You slow things down, listen properly, look at patterns... and then bit by bit you pull the system back into sync. That’s the work I’m here for.

I am working in Ayurveda for a little over 3 years now—maybe not a huge number but it’s been deeply involved, like really hands-on. I didn’t just want to give general advice or throw herbs at symptoms. From the beginning, I’ve tried to understand *why* something’s happening… that root-cause logic in Ayurveda made a lot of sense to me. Whether it’s stress-related issues, digestion probs, or some long-pending joint pain, I focus on tracing back to the dosha imbalance, faulty lifestyle or diet behind it. Mostly I treat a mix of chronic and acute stuff—PCOD, acidity, constipation, skin allergies, headaches, periods going off-track, fatigue types, those things that don’t always look serious at first but keep coming back and messing life up. Joint issues too, esp. lower back stiffness or knee pain in 30s-40s group. Sometimes even teenage acne cases come in and I end up treating the gut instead of just prescribing external creams. I think that's what I love most about Ayurvedic approach—it’s all interconnected. I follow Prakriti-based personalization, like observing how the person sleeps, eats, what time digestion goes off etc. That helps me set a clearer protocol. I use diet plans (nothing extreme), herbs, classical formulations when needed, & recommend dinacharya/ritucharya patterns for prevention n balance. It’s not one-size-fits-all, & honestly, no patient story ever feels same. I also encourage ppl to ask questions n be part of the plan—not just follow. I keep referring back to classical texts regularly—Ashtanga Hridaya mostly—and I like re-reading cases to learn from them. Still lots more to figure out, but my aim has always been to offer healing that’s long-lasting, not just quick-fix types. I guess the main thing is just giving ppl space where they feel understood... that’s where healing kinda starts.

I am an Ayurvedic surgeon by training—over 6 years now into this field—and most of my core work circles around ano-rectal issues like piles, fistula, fissure etc. I got really drawn to this area early in my clinical years bcz of how deeply misunderstood these conditions are, like people suffer quietly or try random stuff out of embarrassment. Using classical Ayurveda like ksharasutra, but tweaking it with a more modern, less painful, approach has really worked well for many of my patients—cleaner outcomes, shorter healing time. Not always smooth, but usually worth it. Before that, I worked for 5 years as RMO at a Panchakarma center that actually taught me more than any textbook tbh. Day in, day out, I was handling long-term chronic cases—autoimmune ones, joint stiffness, gut inflammation—that needed a slow, layered approach. Detox isn’t just oil and swedana; it’s timing, patience, reading the body signals right. I made a lot of mistakes in the early months, but that’s how you get better. These days I mostly focus on sexual wellness, infertility (esp male), and joint pain—things people hesitate to talk about. And that's okay. I'm used to long consults, messy timelines, lots of trial-and-error. No flashy promises. Just steady, logical treatment plans built around their prakriti, their history, the real root issue. A lot of what I do now is integrative—panchakarma, lepa, herbs, counseling, diet shifts—all woven together. What I still hold tight is the idea that Ayurveda isn’t old. It’s just detailed. Complex. Demands patience. But it works—when you listen close enough to the body and stop rushing it.

I am Dr. Ann Mariya Raphel, BAMS grad and a postgrad Ayurvedic consultant with little over 5 yrs of clinical work behind me, tho honestly it doesn’t feel that long when you're this into it. My main zones of focus? That’d be Ayurvedic cosmetology, skin and hair health, dietetics, diabetes care, and pretty much anything that ties into lifestyle medicine. I work a lot with chronic skin stuff—psoriasis, pigmentation, acne that just won’t quit—plus cases where weight, stress, or sugar levels keep playing havoc with people’s systems. I’m certified in Ayurvedic skin care, too, which kinda gives me this dual lens—outside+inside—when I treat skin. It’s not just about creams or face packs, right? We’re working with internal fire, digestion, hormones... all that. So I usually design individualised regimens that may include herbs, detox, food corrections, and external therapies—like Mukhalepa or Takradhara if needed. And yeah, sometimes people come in for weight loss or sugar control, but once we dig in, it’s really about whole-body balance. That’s where Ayurveda shines. As a lifestyle physician, I don’t just chase symptoms. That’s not my thing. I spend a good amt of time figuring triggers—stress, food timings, screen exposure, gut stuff. My plans often combine traditional Ayurvedic principles with a few modern basics too—like I won’t skip lab values or pathology just bcoz it isn’t mentioned in Charaka. Balance, right? I do stay active with current clinical reseach and trainings—it’s kinda necessary in cosmetology where new things keep popping up and old ones keep proving their worth too. My goal’s pretty straightforward—help people get back their confidence and energy, using therapies that actually sync with their body type and daily life, not just trendy fads or harsh fixes. If it takes time, that’s okay. Healing does, sometimes.

I am practicing Ayurveda since around 5 years now, and honestly—it still teaches me things every single day. My work mostly centers around chronic lifestyle conditions and stuff that just doesn’t go away with surface-level fixes—like diabetes, thyroid problems, PCOD, digestion issues, fatigue, anxiety... you know, the kinds of problems that kinda creep in slow and stay unless you really look deeper. That’s what I try to do: not just manage symptoms, but find out why it’s happening at all. My approach is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—but not in a rigid way. I mix it with practical, real-world thinking. I use internal herbal meds, but also external therapies like Basti, Abhyanga, Nasya, and all that. But more than any “procedure,” what actually makes the shift is customizing every plan. One-size-fits-all just doesn't work. Some people are all fire (Pitta) and some are heavy on Kapha—and if you don’t factor that in, the results don’t last. I focus on diet corrections, correcting daily routines (Dinacharya), even tiny sleep tweaks... those matter a lot too. I’ve really leaned into managing endocrine/metabolic stuff—especially women coming in with irregular periods, PCOS-like patterns, or thyroid ups & downs. Also getting lots of folks lately with super sluggish digestion or bloating that just doesn’t quit, and surprisingly many cases of unexplained low immunity or burnout. I look at stress a lot. Sometimes that’s the root hiding under everything else. I do both in-person & digital consults, and I try to explain things in a way that doesn’t overwhelm ppl. Ayurveda can feel complicated, but once it clicks, it makes so much sense. I kinda see my role not just as a healer, but also someone who gives people back that feeling of “okay, *this* I can actually do.” And yeah, sometimes all it takes is getting someone to change when & how they eat. Or the right oil for a stubborn rash. But those small things—done right, at the right time—can really flip the switch.

I am working in Ayurveda since about 8 years now\... maybe more if you count the time I spent buried in books, trying to wrap my head around those heavy granthas and what they actually meant for the people I’d one day treat. Over time—through hundreds of patient interactions, slow recoveries, some surprising turnarounds—I kinda realized that this isn’t just about medicine. It’s about seeing the full picture, like why someone’s skin flares up every monsoon, or why digestion collapses when stress hits, or why no one’s sleeping even when *everything* looks "normal" on paper. I mostly deal with lifestyle disorders, gut issues, metabolic stuff, skin problems (lot of eczema, acne, psoriasis cases), and all that weird stress-induced imbalance where the symptoms shift but root remains kinda same. Diagnosing according to Prakriti-Vikriti, Dosha imbalance—yeah, that’s my comfort zone. And I rely a lot on classics, not blindly but with a lot of filtering through what actually works practically today. My focus? It’s always to treat the root—like real root—not just make the signs go away. Which takes time sure, but the changes hold. I keep telling patients, “healing’s not linear,” coz it really isn’t. And I do put a lot of effort into diet restructuring, seasonal plans, daily routine adjustments, even mental resets. Also not gonna lie—constant learning is a thing for me. I don’t feel ready to stop tweaking or refining how I handle a certain type of chronic case. Every patient brings some new layer, or sometimes the same layer in a completely diff way, which keeps me on my toes! In the end, I don’t just want people to get better. I want them to actually *understand* how their body behaves, how their habits affect their healing. That’s where Ayurveda shines. Not a quick fix—but a real, solid map back to balance.

I am an Ayurvedic physician who’s kinda grown into this path over the last 3+ years of hands-on clinical practice. Most of my work stays focused around sexual health concerns, chronic skin stuff, and gut issues—things that honestly can mess with someone’s everyday life more than they admit. I keep my approach rooted in classical Ayurvedic principles, the kind where you don’t just slap on herbs and hope—they have to match the dosha imbalance, the Prakriti, the whole story. A lot of patients come to me after trying other stuff, especially for things like premature ejaculation, erectile weakness, IBS, acid peptic troubles, or flare-ups of eczema or psoriasis. And somewhere in that journey, they start to see how detoxing the system, not just medicating it, helps. That’s where my training in Panchakarma matters. I work a lot with Virechana for pitta-heavy conditions, and Basti — probably one of the most underrated treatments when it comes to restoring balance, especially in gut-related or vata-linked complaints. I lean into personalized herbal treatments. Not really a fan of generic kits or “one-size-for-all” things. I do take my time with pulse analysis, case history, and figuring out what their system’s been through. Food and lifestyle plays a big role too — and yeah, I talk a lot about digestion during consults, maybe more than people expect. Even with all the therapies, I think the actual healing starts when someone feels heard. That’s something I try not to miss. I want them to feel they’re not alone or being hurried. The goal for me isn’t just symptom relief — it’s that they walk away understanding what’s going wrong inside and how to fix it without crashing into side effects or short fixes. I keep learning... like honestly, each patient teaches me something. And while Ayurveda’s deep and sometimes complex, I do my best to keep things real, relatable and result-oriented. Whether it’s a guy struggling with energy loss or someone exhausted from skin flares, I just try to meet them where they are — and walk from there.
