Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 25

I am an Ayurvedic physician from Kerala with a strong grounding in classical medicine and day to day clincal practice that keeps me learning more than any textbook could. My one year internship at SAMCH (Shri Ayurved Mahavidyalaya and Charitable Hospital) gave me solid exposure to patients with varied needs. There I learned how to apply Panchakarma therapies like Basti, Nasya, Virechan alongside internal medicines, and also how to manage inpatient and outpatient flow in a way that respect both tradition and modern demands. That year was like a foundation for me, helping me see Ayurveda not as rigid recipes but as flexible principles adaptable to each patient. Currently I work as a consultant at Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala, which is one of the most respected names in Ayurveda. The setting allows me to design care plans for patients traveling from many backgrounds—people with chronic pain, digestive troubles, skin diseases, gynecological issues, or stress conditions. Kerala style Panchakarma, with treatments like Abhyanga, Pizhichil, Njavarakizhi or Shirodhara, forms the core of what I do. And the oil formulations and herbal preperations unique to Kerala have really shown me how much deeper healing can go when you choose the right medium. My approach begins with a detailed Ayurvedic assessment—prakriti analysis, roga-rogi pariksha, looking at diet and lifestyle habits, sometimes even the emotional strain they carry. From there I plan therapies that may include classical formulations, diet changes, detox, or even simple but effective dinacharya (daily routines). The aim is not just to reduce pain or rash or acidity, but to reach the root imbalance that is pushing the disease again and again. I see health not as a quick fix but a long journey, where small shifts add up to major balance. My goal is to guide people in that path with honesty and compassion, giving them tools from Ayurveda that are sustainable and natural. For me, every patient is also a teacher, and every case is a reminder of why Ayurveda has lasted through centuries—it meets people where they are and helps them rediscover balance within.

I am a practicing Ayurvedic doctor who really beleives that healing doesn’t start with just medicines – it starts with understanding. Everytime a patient walks in, I don’t just see a set of symptoms, I try to feel the story underneath it. That’s why I spend time doing a deep dive into their Prakriti n Vikriti, coz no two people react to a disease the same way. And I don't just mean body-type. It’s lifestyle, emotions, diet, patterns... all tangled. I focus a lot on root-cause treatments. Whether it's chronic digestion issues, painful joints, pcos or even just burnout from stress—my goal is not just to patch things up. I work on long-term relief, balance n recovery using classical Ayurvedic tools. Mostly it’s herbal formulations, sometimes Panchakarma if needed (which btw is still so underrated for detox), and I always push for sustainable diet shifts n routines. Something doable. Because honestly if it doesn’t fit their life, it won’t stick. My patients usually come in confused or tired of chasing temporary fixes. I see it in their eyes. What I try is help them feel heard. I explain what’s happening inside them using Ayurveda’s lens—not in vague mystical terms, but in simple words they can hold on to. Like, hey this isn’t just gas, it’s a digestive fire imbalance aggravated by xyz. Over the years, I’ve dealt with a mix of hormonal, metabolic, musculoskeletal n psychosomatic disorders. But more than labels, I’ve learned the real skill is in adapting—reading a case, staying rooted in shastra, but also evolving with modern challenges. Like people now eat, sleep, work diff. Our ancient science still applies, but we gotta translate it right. I keep learning. Every new case teaches me smething. And what I really want is to give ppl the power back—the awareness, the tools, the small changes that bring big shifts. Coz real health? It's not just freedom from disease. It's feeling like yourself again.

I am just starting out really—I finished my BAMS in Sept 2024 and right now I’m in the middle of my internship phase, which honestly is turning out to be the most eye-opening part of all this. All the stuff we studied—theory, shlokas, treatment protocols—suddenly it hits different when you're actually with real patients, real complaints, and real-time pressure to understand what’s going on under the surface. During my academics I found myself kinda drawn toward the core concepts—prakriti, agni, dosha balance, that whole deeper mapping of how a person functions. I liked how Ayurveda doesn’t rush to fix one symptom but tries to read the entire story, their lifestyle, food, stress, digestion, sleep, everything—like puzzle pieces. Now through OPD/IPD postings, I’m actually applying that thinking, slowly. Whether it’s a skin rash or IBS or someone who walks in complaining of joint pain, we’re taught to pause and think—what is their agni doing? Is vata running wild? Are they ignoring ritucharya? My hands-on exposure is mostly with procedures like abhyanga, nasya, basti—been assisting seniors during Panchakarma sessions. Also getting better at Nadi Pariksha and just reading case patterns… sometimes still get stuck, not gonna lie. But the seniors guide and the patients teach you without realizing. I'm also super interested in how daily routine (dinacharya), seasonal shifts (ritucharya), and even simple sadvritta practices can reset the body gently without meds even. Every patient I see makes me realize that learning Ayurveda isn’t just books and herbs—it’s about listening, observing, and slowly building the right habits that fit that one individual. Right now I'm absorbing as much as I can—sitting in case discussions, helping during rounds, trying to connect all the classical dots with what we actually see on ground. It's hard sometimes but also pretty amazing when things click.

I am a senior Ayurvedic physican, been in clinical work for 15+ years now, and honestly the path's been anything but straight. Started out with emergency room and cardiac care shifts in an allopathic hospital setup—that gave me this fast-paced grounding, you know, dealing with critical care under pressure. But Ayurveda, that deeper system of looking at illness—it kinda kept pulling me back in. Eventually I began integrating both streams, specially in areas like women’s health and gynec issues, where the overlap is really practical, not just theoretical. These days I work mostly with chronic cases. My main area of focus is Ayurvedic cancer support—Rasayana chikitsa, Panchakarma for detox, that sort of thing. I’ve worked quite a bit on blending classical Ayurvedic interventions with more modern protocols... esp. for people going through long-term chemo or post-op stages. The fatigue, tissue damage, digestion issues—they all need more than just one angle of care. I also treat ENT problems regularly—sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, voice strain—using therapies like Nasya, Dhoomapana, medicated steam and some local herbal formulations. It’s not just about giving a powder or tablet, it’s about how you deliver it and in what phase of the disease you’re at. What matters to me is getting into the root—not just the symptom. Every patient is different, you can’t copy-paste treatments. I rely a lot on understanding Prakriti, Vikriti, their lifestyle context, sometimes even emotional load, before planning therapy. Many times we go slow but steady—herbs, ahara-vihara adjustment, and tailored Panchakarma cycles when needed. Honestly, even after all these years, I’m still learning and updating myself. Whether it's newer diagnostic tools or re-reading sthanas from Charak Samhita, I try staying current—makes my practice more real n relevant. My idea is always: can I make the patient feel heard, safe, and genuinely better? If yes, I think I’m doing it right.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a BAMS background and honestly, from day one I knew this isn’t just medicine—it’s like a full framework for living. My work mostly revolves around treating lifestyle issues and chronic disorders that ppl usually come with after trying everything else n still not feeling better. What I really focus on is understanding the person first—their Prakriti, current doshic state, emotional triggers... all of that matters. I use stuff like Nadi Pariksha, detailed history taking, even how they eat-sleep-move... to get a whole picture. I mostly see cases like acidity, IBS, hormonal stuff, PCOD, period problems, joint stiffness, allergies, pigmentation, sleep issues, stress burnout... it varies. And yeah, things overlap, like someone with migraines might also be constipated or anxious—Ayurveda makes u look at that link. My approach leans heavily on internal medicine but also on guidance... like food, seasonal care, daily routines. Dinacharya and Ritucharya aren't just concepts for me—they’re tools I keep going back to. Also I do use Panchakarma when it’s really needed but only after proper pre-assessment. One thing I make sure in practice is not rushing—giving the patient space to talk, to explain their discomfort, even if it’s messy or unrelated. That’s how real clues show up, tbh. I do a mix of counseling, stress relief tips, Rasayanas when apt, and mostly use classical formulations unless I feel some local option is better suited. Whether its someone who’s sick or just tired or confused about what their body is telling them—I try helping them reconnect with it. Not just fix the symptom and send off. My goal really is clarity and balance, both for me and for whoever walks into the clinic. Healing happens when the person feels safe, seen and also guided. That’s what I keep learning every day.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who’s been in this space for more than 12 yrs now, and honestly, the longer I practice the more I realize how deeply personal healing really is. I don’t just treat a diagnosis—I try to understand why that imbalance showed up in the first place, and how we can correct it gently but firmly using the tools that Ayurveda gives us. Over the years, I’ve worked with people facing all kinds of things—gut problems that just won't settle, nagging skin rashes, frozen shoulders, knee pain that creeps in with age, allergies that flare with every season, stress that wrecks hormones, and even folks who just feel "off" but can’t pin it down. My treatment approach usually blends classical Ayurvedic formulations with Panchakarma therapies when needed. Sometimes it’s also just about adjusting food habits, cleaning up their routine or sleeping better. I always look at the patient's prakriti, doshic balance, history and the whole picture before suggesting anything. Every protocol is personal. That might mean herbal meds for one, detox + rasayana for another, or even just shifting daily timings and meals—it depends, really. I talk a lot about Dinacharya and Ritucharya too, coz these are gamechangers when followed right. I’m big on helping people understand that health isn’t a quick fix, it’s daily stuff. It’s consistent. Like brushing your teeth, just.. on a deeper level haha. Lately I've also been guiding people more on preventive stuff—how to avoid getting sick in the first place, using Ayurvedic nutrition tips, breathwork, sattvic routines and stress support. I try to keep Ayurveda logical and simple, not mystical or distant. Every consult I do is meant to be grounding. I want people to feel seen and heard, not rushed or confused. To me, this is more than a system—Ayurveda is like a rhythm that can really sync your body and mind with nature again. That’s where real healing begins. Typos or quick edits happen sometimes—hope you dont mind!

I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

I am an Ayurvedic physician working mostly with musculoskeletal and abdominal disorders, and over time that’s become the space where I feel most connected with my patients. When someone comes with joint pain, chronic back ache, arthritis flares, or digestive troubles like bloating, acidity, constipation — I don’t just see the symptom, I try to trace where the imbalance really started. Ayurveda teaches that dosha disturbance, diet habits, even emotional stress can sit hidden for months before showing as pain or illness. That understanding shapes how I approach each case. In practice I rely on Panchakarma therapies, herbal medicines, and very specific lifestyle adjustments. Panchakarma is not just about detox, it’s about clearing pathways so the body can heal itself again. I use Virechana for abdominal issues, Basti for spinal and joint care, sometimes Nasya when stress and digestion are interlinked. Herbal formulations are chosen carefully, never as a generic prescription but tuned to prakriti and the stage of samprapti. Many times the smallest daily change — the way food is taken, the timing of sleep, even posture — makes more difference than heavy medication. At Chikkodi hospital earlier, and now in my own consultations, I’ve seen patients regain mobility after years of stiffness, or digestive comfort after thinking “this is just how my body works.” That reminds me why individualized treatment matters. Every plan is designed with the patient’s goals in mind — some want to walk pain-free, some want to avoid surgery, some just want to eat without discomfort. And it’s important they feel heard, not rushed. I believe patient education is part of treatment. When people understand what dosha imbalance is creating their symptoms, they become more engaged, and the changes last. I keep my consultations open and conversational, sometimes even repeating the same point twice if it helps clarity.!! My aim is not quick fixes but restoring balance that stays, letting the body and mind feel lighter, stronger, more aligned.

I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

I am a board-certified Ayurvedic doc, licensed in India & working across borders for 7+ yrs now. My roots are deep in chronic disease care, but over time I got pulled more toward neuro conditions—stuff like Parkinsons, epilepsy, even peripheral neuropathies. Maybe bcz I’ve always been curious about how the brain+body connect, you know? My path kinda expanded when I moved to Singapore for a while & worked w/ a pharma group doing R&D on Ayurveda-based neuro formulations. That was eye-opening, not just in terms of product dev but understanding how traditional herbs can align with evidence-backed protocols too. Not every herb makes the cut, but some... really work when used right. Anyway. In clinical practice, I’ve handled both OPD setups & hospital rounds. I use classical Ayurvedic tools like dosha pariksha, nadi & rogi analysis, but yeah, I also look at things like MRI reports or EMGs if needed—especially when dealing with chronic neuro or stress-linked disorders. I usually rely on herbal meds, diet tweaks & daily habits that target the underlying cause—not just the outward problems. Like if it's anxiety-related seizures or gut-triggered neurological flares, I prefer to go step-by-step, untangle things properly. One thing I really try not to skip is understanding the whole constitution of each person. Without that, I feel treatments just stay on surface. Also, treating internationally—diff age groups, backgrounds, even expectations—taught me how to adapt things without diluting the core of Ayurveda. I’m not into pushing fast cures, I want my patients to feel seen and involved. Even if it takes longer, real recovery is worth it. Still learning, always trying to refine—but committed to gentle, sustainable healing that actually last.
