Area of specialization:
I am mostly drawn to the kind of Ayurvedic work that actually shifts things deep — not just surface-level symptom relief. My main focus is on holistic health management through classical Ayurvedic principles, with a strong base in Panchakarma therapies and detox. I pay a lot of attention to internal balance, ‘cause without that, even the best herbs or diet charts don’t hold for long. I work with personalized treatment plans — prakriti, vikriti, seasonal rhythm, mental load — all of it matters while planning. Whether it’s a gut issue or low immunity or even early aging signs, I look at it from root-cause view not just diagnosis tags. I’m trained in Ayurvedic diagnosis, proper herbal formulations (the classical kind), and I also include nutritional advice that’s actually doable and doesn’t just say “avoid cold food” like a broken record. Mental wellness & preventive care are areas I care about a lot, esp stress-based symptoms that don’t look serious but silently mess up digestion, sleep and immunity over time. I’m also into integrating Ayurvedic insight with bits of modern clinical logic — not mixing the systems, just bridging where it helps. For me, the approach should feel natural, simple, and effective... even if the logic behind it is layered.!!
Achievements:
I am someone who likes digging into how things *actually* work in Ayurveda, not just using them. My research on “Role of Patya Kalpana in Panchakarma” got published in the World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research (Apr 2024), and another study I did on “Ruksha Swedana in Manyastambha” came out in IJTSRD in July 2024. Both these weren’t just academic checks—they really helped me connect clinical experience with deeper theory. Kind of my way of keeping things evidence-backed but still rooted.

I am Dr. Vijayalakshmi, currently doing my MD in Panchakarma — which honestly feels like diving deep into the real core of Ayurveda. Not just the detox label everyone throws around, but the *actual* science behind why the body needs to let go, reset, rebuild. I’ve been working hands-on with therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya etc., and trust me, no two patients ever react the same. That’s what keeps it both challenging and kinda addictive in a good way. Panchakarma isn’t just therapy to me, it’s a full system that works *only* when you pay attention to the small things — like the patient's prakriti, their stress load, their sleeping hours, even what time they get hungry (or don’t). I usually plan every treatment detail carefully — but also adapt it if the patient’s agni doesn’t cooperate or their lifestyle’s full of last-minute chaos. Ayurveda doesn’t work like a machine, it works like nature — and nature’s rarely linear. I do a lot of patient education too, ‘cause tbh if the person doesn’t understand *why* they’re doing snehapana or following a certain pathya, they either resist it or just half-do it. That’s where my teaching side comes in — whether it’s patients or juniors, I like breaking it down in a way that actually sticks. Reading the classics keeps me grounded (and confused sometimes ngl), but I also explore new research, clinical updates, and those interesting case discussions you catch at odd hours between duties. The mix of old n new helps me build care plans that feel rooted but flexible — something I try to carry into every case I handle, whether it’s a chronic skin condition, stubborn gut issue, seasonal detox or just rasayana planning for general wellbeing. For me, good Panchakarma is about clarity and connection — between physician, patient, and the process. I try to keep it real, not rigid. Just deep, clean healing that makes sense for *that* person, in *that* moment. Nothing forced, nothing rushed. Just the body doing what it actually knows how to do — if we just let it.
