Dr. Shantanu Mukkawar
Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | Ashwini Ayurvedic Medical College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I specialize in Ayurvedic medicine with a focused expertise in Panchakarma therapies and Shamana Aushadhi (palliative treatments). My practice revolves around restoring balance in the body by combining traditional detoxification procedures with carefully selected herbal formulations. I have a deep understanding of how to tailor Panchakarma—such as Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana—based on individual prakriti, disease stage, and seasonal variations. Alongside this, I prescribe Shamana medicines that help manage chronic conditions gently and effectively without disturbing the body's natural equilibrium. My goal is always to provide holistic, personalized care that addresses the root cause of illness rather than just the symptoms. |
Achievements: | I have successfully treated a range of chronic skin conditions through Ayurvedic protocols, including lichen planus, psoriasis, and chronic urticaria. My approach combines traditional herbal formulations with personalized therapies to address both the root cause and surface symptoms. These cases have deepened my clinical insight into Ayurvedic dermatology and strengthened my belief in holistic, constitution-based treatment. |
I am an Ayurvedic physician with hands-on experience working in several allopathic hospital settings, where I integrated Ayurvedic principles alongside modern medical practices. This unique experience has helped me understand the importance of collaborative and holistic approaches to patient care. My role in these institutions involved offering Ayurvedic consultations, recommending classical formulations, and guiding patients through diet, lifestyle, and herbal therapies tailored to their conditions. This cross-disciplinary exposure strengthened my ability to work in diverse clinical environments and deepened my respect for evidence-based medicine. Whether it was supporting recovery in post-operative patients through Ayurvedic rasayana therapies or helping manage chronic ailments like arthritis, digestive disorders, and skin conditions through personalized treatment plans, I always focused on addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms. My approach is rooted in the classical Ayurvedic texts, but I stay attuned to the practicalities of modern healthcare systems. I strive to make Ayurveda more accessible and acceptable by aligning my treatments with diagnostic insights from both traditions. Patients appreciate the blend of traditional wisdom and modern sensibility in my practice, and I continue to advocate for integrative medicine that emphasizes prevention, sustainable healing, and overall well-being.
