Dr. Patel Shivaniben Ravindrakumar
Experience: | 6 years |
Education: | Parul Institute of Ayurved and Research |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working with patients who struggle with joint disorders and chronic skin problems. These two areas may look different but honestly they often share deeper imbalance in dosh and metabolism. For joints I handle cases like arthritis, stiffness, swelling, osteo type pain that limits daily work. With skin it’s things like psoriasis, eczema, acne or long-lasting rashes that keep flaring even after multiple treatments.
My way is not about covering up symptoms, I try to find the root through Ayurveda methods — naadi reading, prakriti assessment, diet history. For joint issues I use herbal medicine, external therapies like abhyang or basti when needed, and dietary corrections that reduce inflammation. For skin I focus on detox, blood purifying herbs, correction of digestion, plus lifestyle advice.
Sometimes progress is slow, patient feel restless, but when they stick to the plan the change is visible — pain less, skin calmer, mobility back. That’s why these two areas became my main focus, because they really show how Ayurveda can restore balance when given proper time. |
Achievements: | I am proud to say I was awarded the university first gold medal, a milestone that reflect the effort and focus I put during my studies. It wasn’t just about scoring marks, it was about really going deep into ayurveda medicine, understanding both the classical texts and how they fit into real practice. Getting that medal gave me confidence but also a reminder that learning never stops.. every patient still teaches me new things, way beyond classrooms or exams. |
I am practicing Ayurveda medicine since the last 2 years and honestly these 24 months taught me more than any textbook ever could. In beginning I was just focusing on small cases — acidity, constipation, mild fevers — things that felt manageable. Slowly the trust of patients grew and I started handling more complicated disorders like joint stiffness, chronic skin eruptions, hormonal imbalance, digestive syndromes that don’t settle with quick remedies. Each case comes with its own story, and that story shapes the way I plan treatment. I depend a lot on the classical methods of diagnosis — naadi pariksha, tongue observation, prakriti assessment, even listening carefully to how a patient describe their problems gives insight. Treatment is not just handing some medicine; it’s about connecting diet, daily habits, sleep, emotions with the disorder. Many patients expect only a herbal tablet, but I insist on food changes or routine corrections too. Without that nothing sustains. In these 2 years I also realized how important communication is. If you explain too much, patient gets confused, if you explain too little, they don’t follow. Finding that balance is an art. I also learned to be careful with Panchakarma — it looks attractive but if given without proper timing or preparation it harms more than help. There are days when I feel unsure, whether I suggested enough or maybe too much, but Ayurveda itself teaches patience. Healing comes slow but it stays longer. And when patients return with relief — digestion lighter, pain reduced, skin calmer — that’s the real achievement. These two years shaped me into a doctor who values steady, practical, personalized care rather than rushing for instant result.
