Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working with people who come in feeling like nothing else has worked—skin that won’t stop flaring, joints that ache even at rest, digestion that’s just never right. My focus is on Ayurvedic treatment for chronic skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema, acne, fungal flareups—all of it. I use herbal formulations, internal cleansing, and food shifts based on dosha and disease stage. Because skin healing isn’t skin-deep, it’s gut-deep, liver-deep... and that’s how I treat it.
I’m also big on detox. Like real, planned Shodhana—not a "one size" cleanse. Panchakarma, when timed properly and adapted to the patient, does more than just "remove toxins"—it clears stagnation. I plan it around digestion, energy levels, strength—and yes, season too. All those things matter.
For joint disorders, I manage arthritis, osteoporosis, frozen shoulder types of stuff, using internal meds plus local therapies—like lepam, kizhi, basti. I try to reduce pain but also restore movement, which matters just as much. The idea is always long-term—not a band-aid. |
Achievements: | I am really proud to have got my research paper published in an international journal—felt like a moment where all that quiet grind in clinic + theory finally got to speak out loud. The paper reflected my focus on evidence-based Ayurvedic care, and how natural healing systems aren’t just “ancient” but actually relevant and research-worthy. That work let me dive deeper into disease patterns, drug response, and integrative wellness ideas that I now carry into day-to-day patient care. |
I am Dr. Prajakta Kulkarni, an Ayurvedic physician and diet consultant with 15+ years into this field, and honestly—every year just keeps reminding me that food and healing aren’t separate things. My core focus is integrating Ayurvedic nutrition with actual modern dietary needs, like not everyone can live on kitchari and ghee alone, right? My goal’s always been to make Ayurveda feel doable, not distant. I run a global online Ayurvedic diet program—it’s now reached over 100 cities worldwide and still growing. The plan is simple but not basic: it’s tailored for each person’s constitution, goals, and health issues. Whether it’s weight issues, metabolism imbalance, IBS-type digestion drama, hormonal chaos, or even general fatigue—this program works by bringing the body back to balance through food that matches your dosha + condition. The 95% success rate? Not just marketing fluff. That’s real people writing back saying “hey I feel different now.” And that matters. Apart from diet work, I also offer home-based Panchakarma therapy—with Kerala-trained therapists, btw. Which means people can get authentic detox care (like abhyanga, virechana, nasya etc) without going into a clinic they’re not comfy in. I oversee the plan, make sure it suits their needs, and monitor the progress myself. Because I honestly don’t believe healing should come with discomfort or dread. My approach’s always about finding a midpoint between traditional Ayurvedic healing and practical daily life. I don’t tell people to do what isn’t possible for them. Instead, I build around what they can sustain, gently nudging them toward vitality, better digestion, stable energy, and a real sense of balance. It’s not about chasing perfection. It’s about feeling well and knowing how to stay there. At the heart of all this? Just one thing—making Ayurvedic wellness personal, effective, & actually livable in the modern world.
