Doctor information
Experience:
5 years
Education:
Government Ayurvedic College Gurukul Campus, Uttarakhand Ayurveda University
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mainly focused on Ayurvedic care for lifestyle disorders—diabetes, high BP, obesity kind of issues that usually need long-term support not just quick meds. I work with herbal medicine, Panchakarma where suitable, and more importantly day-to-day routine correction. Prevention and reversal both matter to me, cuz patients don’t just want temporary control they want freedom from repeat flare-ups. I also see many skin cases—eczema, psoriasis, acne that keeps coming back. For me skin is never just “outside”, it reflects deeper imbalance in doshas, digestion or even stress. I treat using herbs, lepa, oils plus diet corrections that actually fit into life. Joint disorders are another big area—arthritis, chronic back pain, musculoskeletal stiffness. These usually link with vata disturbance, but I still evaluate digestion, habits, posture etc before designing therapy. I also manage gut-related problems—gastritis, liver dysfunction, ulcers, bloating—basically Ayurvedic gastroenterology. I rely on prakriti-vikriti analysis to shape diet plans and seasonal routines (dinacharya, ritucharya). Even in weight management, I set goals realistic, around sustainable change not crash results. For me every case is personal, no two treatments ever fully same.
Achievements:
I am proud to say I ranked 85th in Uttarakhand AYUSH PMT (2014) and later secured AIR 136 in AIAPGET (Gen cat rank–58). My academic side grew with publishing research papers, writing a book chapter on diabetes, and a study on Agni-digestion concept in Ayurveda. I also reviewed a paper for Journal of Ethnopharmacology (Feb 2025). On stage, I presented at AROHA-2024 about Shaka Varga & nutrition of Gojihva, and at Swasthya ExpoCon 2023 on Shukrashodhan Mahakashaya analysis.

I am Dr. Deepika Pandey, an Ayurvedic physician who walked this path with both curiosity and discipline. My foundation came from Govt Ayurvedic College, Gurukul, Haridwar—a place known for its strong roots in classical Ayurveda. Later I cleared All India Rank 136 and went on for MD in Dravyaguna (Ayurvedic Pharmacology) at AIIA New Delhi, the apex institute under Ministry of AYUSH. Those years shaped me a lot, not just in books but also in hands-on training, long rounds in OPDs, and learning how theory really plays out on patients. With more than 8 yrs of combined academic and clinical practice, I focus on lifestyle disorders, women’s health issues, digestive imbalances, and stress-related conditions. I lean strongly on herbal medicine and dietary therapy, but not in isolation—I try to see the whole picture: prakriti, daily routines, mental strain, even small habits that look ordinary but cause imbalance. My background in pharmacognosy and Ayurvedic pharmacology helps me select formulations more carefully, knowing the plant, its guna, its timing—matching it with patient needs instead of prescribing something generic. I don’t treat just the “disease”. Healing for me starts with listening—sometimes a patient talks for 20 minutes before I say anything, and that itself makes half the plan clearer. I build treatments that are individual, not cut-paste. Ritucharya, preventive care, detox methods, food corrections… I mix these with practical guidance so people can actually follow it. Over the years, I saw patients walk in with arthritis flares, chronic acidity, infertility struggles, anxiety, psoriasis—you name it. Some responded fast, some slow, some needed multiple rethinks. But every case added depth to my practice and reminded me that Ayurveda is a living science, not frozen in old texts. My aim is simple: safe, natural, sustainable care. I want patients to feel respected, heard, and supported enough to take charge of their health. If they leave not only with medicine but also with clarity about how to live better—that’s when I feel the treatment really worked.
