Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 26

I am Dr. Akhilesh M, and ya I work with Ayurveda in a way that really digs deep, especially through Kayachikitsa—that’s kind of the core of how I see things. Internal medicine, systemic healing, chronic conditions that don’t always have clear cut answers... that’s where I usually focus. I did my MD in Kayachikitsa and have around 4+ yrs experience treating things like diabetes, skin disorders, gut issues (IBS, bloating etc), autoimmune stuff, fatigue, even stress-linked hormonal messes—Ayurveda actually sees them all as part of a bigger imbalance. My thing is, just managing symptoms never really worked long-term, right? I try to go for the cause underneath—dosha imbalance, wrong ahara-vihara, even past trauma sometimes gets stored in the system. That’s why I usually take time understanding the patient's *prakriti*, their *vikriti*, patterns they maybe don’t even notice. From there, I build a plan... herbal formulas, sometimes Panchakarma, sometimes just simple routines that shift everything if you stick with 'em. I’m big on preventive health too—not just after someone gets sick. Things like *Ritucharya*, *Dinacharya*—they sound old-school, but man they work! I've seen how just realigning with season or sleeping better makes some patients feel totally diff. I spend time teaching that part 'cause I feel like we lost a lot of this wisdom in our rush to quick fixes. And maybe the most fulfilling part? When someone with years of stubborn eczema or digestion probs says—*“I actually feel normal again.”* That’s why I do this. I try to keep consultations warm, no rush, listen properly—because I know chronic conditions don’t always show in lab reports. My goal’s not just relief, but to help the body remember what balance even feels like again. Honest, sometimes that feels like the hardest part. But that’s where the real healing starts.

I am Dr. Anjali Meena and honestly, this whole journey with Ayurveda n’ women’s health... it’s been kinda grounding in ways I didn’t expect. I did my BAMS from Delhi University and then went ahead with MS (Ayu) in Prasuti Tantra & Stri Roga from All India Institute of Ayurveda, New Delhi. Right now I’m working as Consultant & Assistant Professor in the Dept. of OBGY at Government Ayurveda College and Hospital, Kota. It's a mix of clinical + teaching and both kinda feed into each other, weirdly satisfying when they click. I’ve been practicing for over 5 yrs now and mostly my focus stays on women—young, middle age, elderly—wherever they are in their cycle or phase of life. Menstrual stuff, pcos-pcod, infertility that just won’t respond easily, pregnancy (esp. antenatal support), or even when menopause hits hard—I try to approach all of it with care and bit of flexibility. No fixed formula type of approach. Usually, I go with classical Ayurvedic protocols first—herbal formulations, sometimes Panchakarma if detox feels really needed, plus daily routine + diet fixes. Like sometimes, a simple tweak in sleep timing with a mild rasayan makes a real differnce. My consults always include prakriti assessment, cause honestly without that, it’s like guessing in the dark. And I do try to make sure we're not just chasing symptoms, but digging into what’s behind them—stress, agni, ama, hormonal loops, even emotional baggage when it shows up in the body. Also in my current role, I stay involved in clinical research and guiding students. They ask good questions—keeps me on my toes. I try to stay close to evidence-based understanding of Ayurveda, not just textbook copy-paste. I think our traditional system has space for individualised healing, and I like bridging that with the real-world demands of patients who want clear answers. Whether someone’s dealing with fertility issues or mood swings post-menopause, I just want to create a space where they feel heard, held, and seen—not just diagnosed.

I am practicing Ayurveda for 5 years now, and honestly each year has added some new angle to how I see patients n healing overall. I started with general practice—basic digestion issues, fever, skin rash, that sort of thing—but slowly leaned more into women's health too. Menstrual stuff, PCOS, fertility troubles, even menopause care… those are now a big part of my everyday work. Most ppl come in with long-standing issues, tried other options, didn’t work much. That’s where Ayurveda really fits, I feel. I usually go pretty deep with case history. Not just "what's the problem" but also—when did it start, what changed in life back then, food patterns, stress triggers, like that. Diagnosis isn’t just physical, it’s more like a whole map of how the body n mind shifted out of sync. I focus a lot on gut health, sleep cycle, prakruti balance. That’s how I plan herbal meds or rasayana therapies. I also work with skin issues—acne, pigmentation, fungal infections—mainly using herbal lepas, diet tweaks, and detox when really needed. And I’m trained to handle minor procedures too, like uttarbasti, cuT insertion, local fomentations etc. In labour room I’ve done normal deliveries independently... those experiences really shaped how I see a woman’s journey in all stages. I'm not into overloading with pills—usually it's 3–4 things max, targeted and gentle. And I always explain the why. When people *understand* their plan, they follow better, heal better. I keep followups tight the first month to see what’s working or not. Adjusting treatment is part of the process. Whether it's a hormonal problem or something simple like constipation, I keep the core idea same—get to root cause, support the system, and let the body lead. I still learn every day from cases. Ayurveda’s old, yeah, but the way it applies today is constantly shifting. I just try to keep pace and stay real with it.

I am working in Ayurveda for close to 3 years now—mostly with general cases but also lots of women's health. My practice kind of grew around conditions like irregular periods, PCOS, fertility hurdles, sluggish digestion, skin breakouts, piles, all that. I look at everything through the lens of imbalance—not just doshas but daily rhythms, food stuff, mental clutter, things ppl don’t always think are linked. I rely on herbal meds, Panchakarma sometimes, and honestly just simplifying routines. Each person gets a plan that fits *them*, not just the disease label. Apart from OP consults, I’ve also trained in OT-based care—assisted and performed minor n some major Ayurvedic procedures esp. for gynac cases. Whether it’s kshara karma for piles or uttara basti-type protocols for fertility, I like balancing precision with calm patient handling. Not rushing anyone, not overdoing either. Even in surgery, Ayurveda asks for awareness—before, during, and after. I always try to bring classical Ayurvedic thinking into even modern setups. If someone walks in with chronic fatigue, or eczema, or repeated infections, I don’t stop at symptoms. I dig a bit—lifestyle stuff, food triggers, hormones, sleep. It might take time but it makes sense. And yeah, patient education matters—I explain things in plain talk, no jargon, let them ask again if confused. That clarity builds trust. I believe in staying open to learning—refining what works, unlearning what doesn’t, adapting without losing the roots of this system. And no matter the setup—rural clinic or city OPD—I’m focused on helping people not just *feel* better, but actually get stronger from inside. That's the point, right? To help the body remember how to heal itself, not just patch things up for a while.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who’s lived and worked in Kerala for 7+ years now—hard to even describe how much that shaped my way of seeing health. Being here meant real exposure to classical Ayurveda, not just theory from books but actual clinical stuff. I got to treat a wide range of conditions, like infertility cases, PCOS, menstrual disorders, eczema, piles, gastritis... even long-standing sciatica and arthritis that people came in with after trying everything else. Most days I feel like the learning never really stops—each patient is different. I mean, two people with the same "diagnosis" on paper might need entirely different paths. That’s something I really lean into—individualized protocols based on dosha imbalance, stage of disease, and ya, even their emotional state sometimes. Working in Kerala, I also got hands-on with Panchakarma therapies—not just in a textbook sense, but real-time application with all its complexity. Some protocols are straightforward, like virechana for skin or basti in joint care, but often it's a lot more layered. There’s this constant balancing act between managing symptoms and gently nudging the body toward deeper correction. In those 7 years, I didn’t just gain clinical experience—I sort of deepened my own trust in the body’s healing capacity when it’s supported the right way. Patients here don’t always ask for quick fixes, they’re open to process—and that has taught me to be more patient too. Honestly, that’s maybe the most valuable thing I’ve learned—healing isn’t linear. It has loops. My work now is focused more around chronic conditions and women's health (esp. PCOS, hormonal shifts, fertility blocks). But I still keep space for skin issues, digestion, even post-COVID recovery when ppl reach out. Long story short—those 7 years in Kerala really grounded my approach, not just in knowledge but in actual lived practice.

I am an Ayurvedic consultant working since more than 6 yrs now, and honestly it's still kinda amazes me how deeply this science can transform ppl’s health when it’s applied right. My clinical practice mostly revolves around treating chronic stuff—like diabetes, stress, weight gain, BP—and I use a mix of classical Ayurvedic medicines and real, practical life advice that actually fits into modern routines (well, mostly… we all know routines are hard to follow sometimes!!) One core part of what I do is Kerala-style Panchakarma. These therapies aren’t just detox for the sake of it—they’re designed to literally reboot the whole body when done at the right time, with right prep. I work a lot with internal cleansing, oil therapies, and personalized regimens based on each patient’s Prakriti and Vikriti. It takes time, but when you see someone’s energy and sleep improve after years of fatigue or migraines, it’s worth it. My focus has kinda settled into lifestyle disorders now—things that creep in slowly like PCOD, high cholesterol, emotional burnout. And I put a lot of stress on prevention too. During consults, I usually walk patients through Dinacharya, Ritucharya, herbs, and diet plans—not just dump meds and leave it there. A good part of care is education, explaining what’s happening inside the body and *why* something needs to change. It’s not just about symptoms, right? I try to treat from the root and help people sustain the progress even after treatment ends. Long-term wellness, not just a patch-up job. If someone’s open to healing with nature, I do my best to guide them without rushing it. That’s how I see my role—being a steady support, not just a prescriber.

I am currently working as an Associate Professor and Ayurvedic Consultant at a pretty well-known Ayurvedic college here in Karnataka. This mix of teaching and clinical practice kinda keeps both sides of me alive—like, one foot always in the Shastra and the other in actual patient care. I guess that’s what I like about it... I get to teach budding Vaidyas from texts like Charaka n all, but also sit with real patients facing chronic issues that don’t come with textbook clarity. In the classroom, I guide both UG and PG students—helping them actually *get* the link between Ayurvedic theory and practical work. Sometimes we’re deep into shloka discussions, other days we’re talking about how to handle a tricky IBS case or PCOD patient during rounds. I’m also pretty involved in research and department stuff—like case presentations, lit reviews, workshops, that sorta thing. It keeps the learning loop going, for me too tbh. On the clinical side, I usually deal with chronic lifestyle disorders, MSK problems, digestive stuff like Grahani and Amlapitta, female health issues, even some skin cases—each one needing its own pace, its own kind of attention. My consults start with a full read of a person’s Prakriti and Vikriti—without that, no use jumping to meds or therapy. I like building long-term plans with people—not just give herbs and send them off. Detox (Panchakarma), Rasayana, Dinacharya tweaks, food habits—it’s all part of it. I do believe education and prevention matter more than ppl think. Like—if someone actually *understands* their imbalance, they’re likelier to stick with care instead of looking for shortcuts. I also team up with fellow docs n students for collabs, paper reviews, sometimes just to debate the classics vs clinical questions. That exchange helps, makes me feel like I'm contributing back to Ayurveda, not just practicing it.

I am an Ayurvedic physican working for about 5 years now, and honestly it doesn’t feel that long cause every case still feels new in its own way. I started my journey in 2020—fresh, curious, probably a little overwhelmed too—but from the start I just knew I wanted to help people heal in a way that felt complete. Not just fixing the surface but really clearing out the root causes. That’s what drew me deep into Panchakarma and Rasayana chikitsa. My core work revolves around chronic disorders, lifestyle imbalance stuff, stress-related issues—all those modern complaints that classical Ayurveda actually handles really well when it’s done right. I do a lot of detox plans and internal medicine combos, all tailored. I try not to push one-size-fits-all stuff ever. Sometimes a person just needs Virechana to reset, other times it’s more about calming vata with herbs, daily rhythm, maybe just helping them sleep better again without pills. Most people come to me when they feel stuck. Like they’ve tried everything and nothing really worked. I see that a lot. And ya sometimes it takes patience—on both sides. But I do believe the healing we do with proper ahara-vihara (food + daily living), herbs, and therapies can completely shift the baseline of health. I mix classical texts with a bit of what modern life needs. I mean we can't expect everyone to live like it’s 1000 BCE... but we *can* make small changes that feel real and doable. That’s where I try to meet each patient—somewhere between ancient wisdom and their 9-to-5 reality. End of the day, I just want them to feel like health isn’t out of reach. Just needs the right map... and someone to walk with for a while.

I am Dr. Aarif, practicing Ayurveda in Uttar Pradesh, and honestly—most days I’m deep into helping people with ano-rectal troubles and chronic pain stuff that kinda gets ignored or mismanaged. Things like piles, fissures, fistula—they’re painful, sure, but also super personal. That’s why I stick close to classical Ayurvedic texts but always tweak things a bit depending on who’s in front of me. Like, no two cases of Arsha are ever exactly same, right? You gotta consider Prakriti, Vikriti, and all the subtle cues. I mostly treat things like Parikartika, Bhagandara, and yes, the kind of pain that just stays there—sciatica, osteoarthiritis, lumbar strain. My main tools? Panchakarma, tailored herbs, and lifestyle hacks that actually stick. Virechana or Kshara Sutra might sound old-school, but they work when done properly, and tbh they spare people the fear of invasive ops or endless pain meds. I always tell my patients: the goal isn’t just symptom relief, it’s fixing what’s *actually* gone off track in your doshas. Pain management’s tricky though—some days it’s about restoring movement, others it’s mostly about sleep or digestion. Panchakarma helps a ton, but I also spend time on basics like food routines, postural advice, or just explaining how daily stress affects gut & joints. It ain’t flashy but this combo of clarity + classical approach works for long-term healing. And ya, I kinda nerd out over case documentation, ‘cause I like checking if outcomes really match up to the plan. Staying updated is a big deal for me—I keep reading, attending CME sessions when I can, sometimes revisiting old Ayurvedic commentaries just to find something fresh. At the end of it, I just want to make the journey easier for folks who walk in scared or fed up, especially when it’s something like chronic fissure or back pain that’s messed with their dignity. It’s not just about herbs or therapies—it’s about restoring that comfort and confidence in their body again.

I am an Ayurvedic physician working in clinical practice for a bit over five years now—mostly handling OPD and IPD cases across skin and hair-related concerns, though sometimes other stuff too. My main focus is treating chronic and often stubborn things like acne, pigmentation patches, eczema flareups, dandruff, hair fall, and that early graying problem which ppl don’t talk abt much but it really affects confidence. What I try to do is not just treat the outside symptoms. I study each person's Prakriti + Vikriti—that's their natural constitution and current imbalance—and build totally personalized protocols. Like, no one-size-fits-all here. Some need more internal support with digestion and stress, others more detox. I use herbal meds, dosha-specific diets, daily routine tweaks, and chemical-free skin/hair routines. And yeah, Panchakarma is a big part of how I work. I’ve done a lot of hands-on panchakarma planning and supervision—therapies like Virechana (for skin purification), Nasya (really helps with hair issues & even sinus stuff), and Raktamokshana when nothing else calms the skin. I’m careful with these—they gotta be done by-the-text and still adapted to modern life + safety standards. What really matters to me is seeing the bigger picture. Like if your skin keeps breaking out, I wanna know what your gut’s doing, how your stress levels are, how you sleepin, are you eating at weird hours—those things matter in Ayurveda. And I make sure my patients feel heard, not rushed. That actually helps healing too, I think. Anyway, my whole goal is simple: treat from within, avoid shortcuts, give ppl real lasting relief and help them feel better in their own skin again—naturally.
