Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 31

I am working at Shatayu Clinic these days n honestly—clinic life teaches you stuff books can't. My whole focus here is to make treatments feel real, rooted in *classical* Ayurveda, but also doable in the 2020s where ppl don’t hv time for 3-hour routines or ancient sanskrit charts (tho I love those too lol). I spend a good amt of time just *listening* in consults, coz that’s where diagnosis often hides—behind random symptoms, gut issues that got ignored, periods that stopped making sense, stress that doesn’t even feel like stress. I blend the old-school Ayurvedic logic—dosha-vikruti, ahar-vihar, agni-checks—with today's needs. Like ppl working shifts or sitting 10 hrs/day need *realistic* food + lifestyle guides, not textbook stuff. I design plans with that in mind—herbs yes, but also practical things they can stick to. Whether it's for acidity, hormonal issues, skin stuff, infertility, stress-burnout, or just wanting to feel ‘normal’ again—each plan is different. I’m also quite serious abt keeping my learning active—keep re-reading classical texts, update through webinars etc. Coz I really believe that if I’m going to ask a patient to change their life, I shld be ready to change mine too—stay updated, stay curious. And yeah, sometimes even when results are slow, I don’t rush. Healing in Ayurveda needs *time*—n patience from both sides. That’s the kind of care I try to give.

I am Dr. Shambhavi Sharma, certified in Ayurveda and working since 2 years—though honestly feels like I’ve seen way more than that? My clinical focus mostly revolves around chronic issues—things like digestive troubles, infertility concerns, sciatica pain, n stress-related conditions that just don’t go away with temporary fixes. I also work a lot with lifestyle disorders, which are kinda everywhere now, and it's not just abt treating symptoms but actually correcting the imbalance inside-out. My treatment approach is fully based on authentic Ayurvedic principles but I try to keep it practical too… I use herbal medications, personalized ahara (diet) planning, seasonal detox therapies and even help ppl reset their daily routines (Dinacharya), coz without that, most plans just don’t stick. I really believe root-cause diagnosis is key, and sometimes it’s not as obvious as we think—could be agni, could be stress, sometimes both. What I enjoy most is seeing patients slowly come back to balance—not overnight miracles but actual steady healing. Whether it's clearing skin eruptions or improving sleep patterns or managing PCOD or IBS, the goal for me’s always been long-term results. I keep refining my methods based on each patient’s prakriti and response. Ayurveda’s not just a system to me, it’s like a framework for living well and healing safe. And yeah—there are challenges, like noncompliance, or ppl doubting the pace of results. But when you see someone actually get better without suppressing the body’s own rhythm, it feels right. Helping someone reduce pain meds or regain confidence or finally break that stress cycle—that’s what makes me stick w this path. I’m not here to push magic cures, I just want to give honest care backed by tradition & thoughtful practice.

As an Ayurvedic doctor, I had the privilege of serving at the Ayush Health and Family Welfare Centre from 2021 to 2022, where I was dedicated to delivering holistic and evidence-based healthcare to the community. During this period, I was actively involved in diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions using classical Ayurvedic principles and therapies. My role focused on providing personalized treatment plans that integrated traditional Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, and lifestyle modifications tailored to each patient’s unique constitution (Prakriti) and health concerns. I consistently prioritized patient-centered care, emphasizing the prevention of diseases alongside their management. I worked closely with individuals and families to address common issues such as digestive disorders, joint and musculoskeletal problems, skin conditions, women's health concerns, and stress-related ailments. My approach combined the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda with modern clinical understanding, ensuring that every patient received safe, effective, and compassionate care. My time at the Ayush Health and Family Welfare Centre also allowed me to participate in various health awareness initiatives, wellness camps, and community outreach programs, contributing to the promotion of preventive healthcare and Ayurvedic education among the general public. This experience deepened my practical knowledge of Ayurveda while strengthening my commitment to promoting natural and sustainable healing practices. I remain passionate about guiding patients towards balanced living and long-term health through the principles of Ayurveda.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating a variety of health conditions using the time-tested principles of Ayurveda. My clinical approach is deeply rooted in traditional Ayurvedic methods, focusing on understanding each patient’s unique constitution (Prakriti) and the imbalances (Doshas) that may be contributing to their health concerns. I specialize in managing both acute and chronic conditions, including lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, and digestive ailments, by formulating individualized treatment protocols that combine herbal medicines, dietary guidance, and lifestyle adjustments. I have a particular interest and expertise in conducting Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation therapies (Shodhana and Rasayana), aimed at eliminating toxins and restoring vitality. These therapies are designed to not only address the root cause of the disease but also to strengthen the body's natural healing ability. I ensure that all detoxification and rejuvenation treatments are customized according to the patient's condition, promoting safe and effective recovery. In addition to herbal medicine prescriptions, I place strong emphasis on dietary recommendations that are aligned with Ayurvedic nutrition principles. I believe that food is a powerful tool in healing, and I guide patients in adopting balanced diets that support their treatment and long-term well-being. My approach is to empower patients to take charge of their health through conscious eating and simple yet effective Ayurvedic practices. I am also trained in Yoga and often integrate yoga practices into patient care. I recommend specific Asanas, Pranayama (breathing techniques), and relaxation methods as complementary therapies to support both physical and mental health. This holistic combination of Ayurveda and Yoga allows me to address the body, mind, and spirit, offering patients a comprehensive healing experience. My goal is to help patients achieve sustainable health and balance through natural and time-honored Ayurvedic therapies.

I have been practicing as a family physician for the past 32 years, providing dedicated and continuous healthcare to individuals and families across all age groups. With over three decades of clinical experience, I have had the privilege of guiding generations of patients through preventive care, acute illnesses, chronic disease management, and health education. My approach as a family physician is centered on building long-term relationships with my patients, understanding not only their medical history but also the social and emotional factors influencing their health. Over the years, I have managed a wide spectrum of conditions, including respiratory infections, hypertension, diabetes, joint disorders, skin diseases, gastrointestinal problems, and general health concerns. I focus on accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans that combine evidence-based medicine with practical, patient-friendly guidance. My role often extends beyond clinical treatment, as I counsel patients on healthy lifestyles, nutrition, and preventive strategies to promote long-term wellness. Throughout my practice, I have emphasized continuity of care, supporting patients through all stages of life, from pediatric care to geriatric health. I have consistently adapted to the evolving medical landscape, integrating updated medical knowledge and clinical protocols to ensure that my patients receive the most effective and appropriate care. My commitment has always been to offer accessible, compassionate, and holistic care, with a special focus on patient education and preventive health. It is this long-standing relationship with the community and my passion for family medicine that continues to inspire me every day.

I am someone who really got to learn *a lot* during my time as a resident at NIA Hospital. I was mostly handling general med cases—like, fevers, infections, respiratory flares, weird digestion stuff—and also got into skin & hair issues pretty deep too. Acne, pigmentation, dandruff, chronic eczema flare-ups, hair fall—things that seem basic but honestly can wreck a person’s confidence if you don’t treat them right (or explain ‘em properly). I spent a lotta time observing senior docs, especially when cases got tricky. And I tried to really get better at that thing where you're not just treating what's obvious—but actually going after why it’s happening. That meant paying attention to patient history, asking questions ppl sometimes didn’t even think were related—like stress or food habits—and then building a plan that wasn’t just "apply this cream" or "take this med." In a bunch of skin & hair conditions, it’s the chronicity that wears ppl down. I saw that up close. So I started focusing more on customising treatments... like figuring out not just the product or med, but also talking through skincare steps, diet shifts, triggers, maintenance plans that make sense for *that* person. Sometimes things work fast, but tbh sometimes it’s slow and frustrating—but if you keep adapting, ppl notice. Also learnt to explain stuff better—without too much jargon, just in plain words that help ppl trust their own recovery. Preventive care was a big thing too—telling someone how to avoid flare-ups before they start. Whether it’s sugar, stress, or skipping routine... it all adds up. That phase in NIA really pushed me to think wider—not just what's the diagnosis, but what’s the right mix of care that'll actually stick and heal. It made me want to practice in a way where I keep seeing the full person, not just the problem. Still trying to keep that going every single day.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

I am working in Ayurveda for over 17 years now, and honestly it still teaches me something new every single day. Most of what I do revolves around helping people get back to balance—whether it's chronic stuff like diabetes, arthritis or acidity… or things like skin flareups, allergies or just plain burnout from a messed-up lifestyle. Ayurveda gives tools that *actually* work long-term if we use them right. I usually start by figuring out someone's *prakriti* (natural body-mind constitution), and ya also look at deeper imbalances—not just the symptoms. Nadi Pariksha (pulse) is one of my go-tos, but I won’t lie—it’s more than technique, you kinda need to *feel* your way too. I mix classical diagnostics with what ppl tell me about their habits, sleep, stress n stuff that don’t show up in labs. In terms of treatment? I use a lot of Ayurvedic meds, diet corrections, herbs, and daily/lifestyle tweaks. Plus I work with Panchakarma therapies—mostly when there’s a lot of accumulation, toxins, or emotional stuckness. Like, some pts feel lighter after *just* one virechana cycle—it’s powerful but needs to be done with full prep n care, otherwise it backfires. I’m very careful on that part. Over the years, I’ve seen how digestion, joints, skin, metabolism n even mood are all interlinked—many of my cases fall in those areas. Skin probs esp. need gut work first, then external. Joint pains too… sometimes it's not just wear n tear but ama + vata that needs handling. I’ve always believed in explaining things to my pts—educating them abt their own body rather than just handing pills. And I never rush to suppress anything. My goal is sustainable healing, not short-fixes that return in 2 months. One more thing—I try to keep my space safe and no-pressure. Lot of ppl come with failed attempts, half-trust, or confusion. I get that. We work slow if needed, but steady. Ayurveda is patient, and I try to match that rhythm in my clinical work.

I am someone who kinda got pulled deep into the world of Pharmacovigilance while working under the Ministry of Ayush—honestly didn’t know what all it’d involve when I first got in. But yeah, turned out to be this intense space where we were tracking, recording, and trying to *actually* make sense of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to Ayurvedic medicines—not just collecting data but reading into patterns, questioning dosage trends, and figuring out what might be missing in usage reporting. What made it hit different for me was how much it shifted how I now think of “safety” in medicine. Like, not just whether something works but what are the *hidden* risks—things that don’t get flagged unless you’re actively lookin. I used to be more focused on effects; now I always ask: is there a long-term impact? Could this herb clash with something else the patient’s taking? Sometimes it’s subtle, but yeah, it’s there. I also spent a lot of time trying to build awareness among fellow Ayurveda professionals—helped explain why reporting side effects isn’t just optional. We assume “natural” means harmless… it doesn’t always. Some colleagues were skeptical at first or like, too used to doing things a certain way. But slowly, with enough examples and discussions, ppl started seeing how data actually makes our system stronger—not weaker. Another area I got exposed to was the backend of it all—the regs, how reporting systems flow into bigger national data pools, how ADR forms need to be filled (honestly the format can get annoying lol), but also how that same info shapes safety alerts or even future policy changes. That time in Pharmacovigilance really changed my clinical lens. I’m way more cautious now—more observant. Doesn’t mean I doubt Ayurveda; it just means I try to work from a place of evidence n accountability. Every patient’s reaction, even mild, matters. I guess it made me more grounded, more deliberate in every step of treatment.
