Dr. Pooja Adkine
Experience: | 5 years |
Education: | Maharasthra University of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly into Kayachikitsa — kinda where I feel most grounded. That’s the internal medicine part of Ayurveda, btw, and during my MD I dived deep into how it handles chronic stuff — things like autoimmune flares, metabolic syndromes, digestion going haywire, weird fatigue, even those lowkey psychosomatic things that ppl usually can’t explain. I don’t like to chase symptoms — I work by digging into why it started in the first place. Sometimes it’s diet. Or stress. Or vitiated doshas that’ve been off for years. I use herbs, detox when it fits, and guide lifestyle stuff based on what *actually* suits the person, not just by-the-book fixes. Panchakarma comes in too, when needed. My aim’s not just to give relief for a while — I like to see ppl get stable, like their body learning how to reset from the inside out. And ya, it takes time, but honestly the long-term shift is worth more than any quick relief. |
Achievements: | I am still kinda surprised I got the Best Resident Doctor award during my time at Tarachand Hospital, tbh. Wasn’t doing anything flashy, just showed up every day and tried to give my best in the Kayachikitsa dept. Long rounds, odd cases, followups that went late — that award felt like a quiet nod to all that. Mostly I was knee-deep in internal medicine cases, from tough digestion probs to more complex systemic stuff... learned loads, messed up a bit too, but grew tons. |
I am someone who kinda grew into Ayurveda slowly at first—like I finished my BAMS in 2020, and while that gave me the basics, I knew I needed to go deeper. I went on to do my MD in Kayachikitsa, wrapped that up in 2025. That phase really shifted things... Kayachikitsa isn’t just internal medicine — it teaches you to see the entire person, not just organs or symptoms. And honestly, that’s how I like to work. Whether it’s metabolic problems like obesity or diabetes, or long-drawn autoimmune stuff, or gut issues that just don’t go away—each case feels different when you actually *look* at the root cause, not just throw meds at symptoms. During MD, I worked a lot with chronic lifestyle disorders — like stress-linked breathing problems, hormonal mess-ups, low immunity, fatigue cycles. Some were tough to crack. That’s where the Panchakarma protocols + herbal formulations really mattered, but also… just listening to the patient’s story and figuring out what their body actually needs, not what a textbook says it *should* need. My treatment approach is super practical — I combine classical Ayurvedic therapies with modern diet support, stress routines, and ya, plenty of trial-error till we get the balance right. I don’t believe one-size-fits-all works here. And maybe that’s why even after MD, every patient still teaches me something. I keep refining the way I plan individualized chikitsa — based on prakriti, triggers, mental load, season, everything. Right now, most of my clinical interest lies in helping ppl manage things that feel “stuck” — like chronic skin, digestion, or hormone problems where nothing gives long relief. I try to bring clarity into that chaos. And yeah, sometimes it’s slow. But if we do it with commitment, Ayurveda really gives results that feel stable, not just quick-fix. That’s what I try to offer in my practice — not just treatment but a kind of deeper reset.
