Dr. Rajendra Joshi
Experience: | 7 years |
Education: | Rajiv Gandhi University Of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | Master of Surgery in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am specialised in Shalya Tantra—that's Ayurvedic surgery—and honestly, that’s where my real clinical focus is. I mostly deal with things like piles, fistula, fissure, pilonidal sinus, non-healing wounds, abscesses and yeah some tricky cases that need more than just ointments n hope. I work with Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, sometimes classical leech application too if it suits the case, and I try to stick to minimally invasive Ayurvedic ways as much as I can. Not against surgery when needed, but Ayurveda gives solid options that ppl often ignore or don’t even know exist.
Ksharasutra therapy, esp for fistula in ano, has helped me manage tough, recurring cases—without the trauma of full-blown open surgery. Same with Agnikarma—I use it in pain conditions, small lumps, chronic sprains etc. Not every case gets cured overnight, but I try to approach each one with the right mix of traditional protocol n patient reality. End goal is always—relief that lasts, not patchwork stuff. |
Achievements: | I am not big on medals n all that, but honestly for me the real achievement? it's watching ppl bounce back—slowly, steadily—through Ayurvedic care. When someone walks in with pain or years of digestive mess or even just hopelessness n walks out months later feeling like themselves again... that's it, that’s what matters. Each case taught me something—how deep n personal healing really is. That trust they give, that progress we build—it kinda stays with me, more than any award would. |
I am right now working as an Associate Professor, which honestly keeps me on my toes in the best way—there’s always something to teach, unlearn or re-look at. I’m teaching Ayurveda to students who’ll soon be out there as physicians themselves, n that feels like a huge responsibility. Not just teaching from the texts but making sure they *get* how it actually applies in practice, especially when things aren’t textbook clear (which is often). I stay involved in student research projects too—helping them think sharper, connect classical stuff with actual evidence, and see the relevance of Ayurveda in today's world, not just as something old or idealistic. At the same time, I’m very much into clinical work. I see patients regularly and treat conditions ranging from chronic diseases, metabolic issues to skin problems n infertility cases too. My approach is very case-specific—I don’t like the idea of generic plans. Every person walks in with a diff set of patterns and past mistakes, and my job is to figure where the imbalance started n how to reverse it or at least manage it without doing more damage. I use a mix of herbal meds, Panchakarma, diet corrections—whatever the case demands, nothing fixed. Being in both the academic n treatment side means I keep learning constantly. Sometimes what I teach in class gives me a deeper insight into my patient work, and sometimes patient responses make me go back to the books again. It’s never separate for me. This constant loop between theory and practice—yeah, that’s where I’ve grown most. I think real Ayurveda is in the details. And that’s what I try to give—whether it’s a student or someone walking into the clinic with a skin issue they’ve tried everything for. The aim is always clarity... not confusion with words or rituals but to use classical knowledge *correctly* in real life. That’s the space I’m working in n wanna stay rooted to.
