Dr. Salprakasan Alayil Balan
Experience: | 19 years |
Education: | Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly focused on clinical Panchakarma, not just as a treatment but as a whole process of preventive care and cleansing that fits the prakriti of each person. I look at detoxification not as one fixed protocol but as something that shifts depending on season, age, current imbalance.. even small lifestyle habits. Many times people come with sprains, spinal strain, fractures healing slow, or long term neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, and for me Ayurveda gives space to address them without rushing or cutting corners. I spend time on full consultations—understanding prakriti, designing dinacharya and ritucharya that actually work in daily life, and planning diets that are doable not just on paper. I also create treatment plans that change as the patient changes, because one size never fit all. Over the years I also guided retreat style programs where therapies, routine, and diet all combine for deeper healing, sometimes slower but more sustainable. To me that balance of classical ayurvedic method and practical living is the real work. |
Achievements: | I am someone who has done panchakarma therapies in diff hospitals, each time learning how detox n cleansing works better when it match the person not just the textbook. In 2013 I went to Moscow and got to treat 3 groups of cerebral palsy patients at a rehab center, that experience still stays with me, tough n humbling at once. During that same visit I also gave seminars n few lectures on Ayurveda, sharing practice not theory. Even now I keep doing daily talks for in-patients, about routine, food, small habits.. things that make recovery more whole. |
I am an Ayurvedic physician with 17+ years of practice, sometimes feels strange when I look back how many diff places and ppl I worked with. My journey started in 2007 at Parathuvayalil Hospital, Cochin, where I worked as Resident Medical Officer & Panchakarma Specialist. Those days were all about learning through real patients, the tough grind of classical panchakarma therapies, not just theory. In 2009 I shifted to Carmelia Heaven Plantation Resorts, giving wellness consultations in a resort atmosphere, a very diff vibe but it teached me how Ayurveda can adapt to lifestyle healing too. Then I joined Sarathy Ayurveda Hospital, Aluva in 2009–2010, where the exposure was again more clinical, everyday patients, chronic condtions, long follow ups. 2010 marked a huge turn when I moved to Russia, Atreya Ayurveda in Moscow. Working there till 2013 showed me how Ayurvedic medicine can cross cultures, but also challenged me to keep the authenticity intact. Explaining Panchakarma and herbal protocols to non-Indian patients was not easy, yet it expanded my view. Later, in 2014 I came back to Kerala, worked at Amrita Life Medicines in Kollam, while also running my own small clinic till 2016. Both roles gave me balance of community practice n professional setting. In 2017 I again went abroad as Chief Physician at the Hospital Sanatorium of Ministry of Finance, Atreya Ayurveda, Domodedovo. That post was more responsible, handling complex cases, coordinating treatments, also teaching sometimes. Since 2018 I am settled in Thrissur District, running Chaithanya Clinic, where I focus mainly on chronic and lifestyle disorders—metabolic issues, musculoskeletal probs, stress-linked illnesses, detox and preventive care. Across all these years, what stayed with me is that Ayurveda is not just about medicine or oil treatments, it is about listening closely and guiding ppl through slow but steady healing. My expertise remain in Panchakarma, detoxification, herbal formulations, managing long-term conditions. I try to keep care patient-centered, ethical, sometimes questioning my own methods to refine better.
