Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 36

I am an Ayurvedic practitioner with over 7 years of clinical work behind me—feels like longer honestly, because every single case adds another layer to how I understand this system. My focus is mostly on women’s health, chronic pain, and classical Panchakarma, though I see a bit of everything in practice. I always start with the basics—what the patient’s body is trying to say before we rush into therapies or herbs. One of the spaces I’m deeply involved in is Garbhasanskar. It’s not just about herbs for pregnancy or some diet tips—it’s about guiding expecting mothers through a phase that’s physical and emotional and spiritual, all at once. I work with tailored plans using Ahara (diet), meditation, dinacharya changes, and safe herbal combinations to support smoother pregnancy, natural delivery, and postnatal repair. It’s slow medicine. But powerful. I also specialize in Agnikarma and Viddha Karma—two para-surgical methods that I use mostly for musculoskeletal issues, neuralgia, cervical pain, and sometimes even for swelling that doesn’t budge with internal meds. These are precise, targeted treatments—not invasive but super effective when timed right. A lot of patients actually come when they’re tired of long-term meds or nothing’s really helping their pain. And yeah, Panchakarma is another core part of my work. I regularly carry out therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshan—with full attention to prakriti, season, agni state, and emotional readiness too. I don’t believe in blanket detox. Each case gets a different path—even the oil, the dravya, the timing—it's all selected very mindfully. I treat conditions like PCOD, infertility, hormonal acne, IBS-type issues, obesity, fatigue... often all connected in ways the patient hasn’t linked yet. That’s what Ayurveda does—it sees the pattern underneath. I also do awareness work, especially in rural settings, to make preventive care more reachable. At the end of the day, I’m just trying to make Ayurveda make sense for people again. Something they can trust, and keep using, even after they’ve left the clinic.

I am Dr. Pooja Verma and I mostly work with chronic disease cases—long-term, stubborn stuff that doesn’t go away easy. Like cancer support, infertility issues, and weird recurring skin problems that just don’t respond well to typical treatments. I don’t look at illness like a checklist of symptoms though... I try to see what’s actually underneath all of that, like what's pushing the body outta sync or draining the system quietly over time. Ayurveda gives a very different lens for that. I always start with prakriti—understanding what type of body-mind the person has—and then try mapping out the doshic imbalances, the weak links, the things they've tried n maybe ignored. My treatments usually involve authentic classical medicines, a bit of detox when needed (Panchakarma does help in a lot of stubborn layers), rasayana or deep rejuvenation where the body needs nourishment, and then daily routine fixes... diet, sleep, mental chatter—all of that. Sometimes it's small shifts that bring change, not just big herbs or strong meds. When it comes to infertility, I look at hormone rhythms, uterine tone, agni, stress overload—most ppl are doing too much n sleeping too little!! My plan usually combines garbhasthapaka herbs, tonics for apana vata, mild virechana if needed, and calming therapies. And we track ovulation patterns closely, that helps. Skin diseases? they're tricky coz they look external but usually come from inside—blood heat, liver load, faulty gut, even unresolved emotions sometimes. I work with both internal meds n external lepas, with heavy focus on pathya... no shortcuts there. I really value talking to my patients like real people. Many come in exhausted not just by the disease but by how little they’re heard. I try to walk with them, not just instruct, and that often makes a big difference. You can’t rush Ayurvedic healing anyway—it builds slowly, but when it works, it really feels like balance again.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor and I worked as Medical Officer at Symbiosis Institute, Pune, a role that gave me space to really apply Ayurveda in a very dynamic, real-life community setting. That campus had such a mix of people—students under stress, faculty with lifestyle disorders, and staff with everyday seasonal issues—and my job was to give both primary care and preventive guidance. I used the classical diagnostic tools from Ayurveda, like nadi and prakriti analysis, but also had to adapt them to modern clinical needs, where patients expect quick clarity and practical solutions. During that time, I managed cases of digestive disturbances, recurrent colds, stress headaches, menstrual irregularities, fatigue, and even chronic skin flares—all very common in young adults under academic and work pressure. For me, it was less about handing out medicines and more about shaping a plan that fit their routines: diet adjustments, daily regimens (dinacharya), yoga, sometimes Panchakarma therapies when needed, and counseling on how to align lifestyle with natural rhythms. It made me realize that health education is as important as treatment, because unless the person understands *why* imbalance happens, they can’t fully heal. Working there also shaped my communication—many students didn’t know much about Ayurveda, some were even skeptical. But once they experienced personalized care, like simple dietary corrections that improved their energy or stress relief through herbal support and breathing practices, they became more open. Building that trust was a big learning for me, and honestly one of the parts I value most. Right now, my focus continues to be preventive healthcare, community wellness, and patient-centered healing. I want people to see Ayurveda not just as treatment when they fall ill but as a lifestyle that supports resilience. Each consultation, whether in clinic or online, I try to create a safe, respectful space, where patients feel heard and guided. My aim is always the same: to restore balance in body, mind and spirit through authentic Ayurvedic wisdom while keeping it practical for modern life.

I am Dr. Anusree Ajay, currently working as Resident Medical Officer at Sacred Lotus, Fort Kochi—yeah, right by the coast in Kerala where the calm air kinda matches the pace we try to set for healing here. What I do isn’t just textbook Ayurveda. It’s more of a lived thing—real ppl, real conditions, real shifts when care gets personal and consistent. My focus? Blending the old roots of classical Ayurvedic wisdom with how ppl live today... cos yeah, daily habits, stress, food, all that stuff counts way more than we realise. At the clinic, I handle a bit of everything—from initial consults, pulse reading, designing care plans, Panchakarma coordination, to helping ppl understand *why* their system keeps going outta sync. Every therapy we suggest is based on prakriti & vikriti, not one-size-fits-all stuff. And it’s not just herbs or treatments—it’s diet hacks, lifestyle reroutes, sometimes even sleep correction. All of it needs patience n trust—on both sides. I work closely with a mixed team—massage therapists, nutrition folks, even yoga teachers when needed. There’s a rhythm to it, like one step leads to the next. Patients come in with chronic fatigue, skin breakouts, digestion stuck for years, or stress piled up so high it shows up in the body. I help piece it apart, not rush the healing. Learning’s kinda non-stop in this space. I keep updating myself with newer integrative ways too—if it helps ppl recover better, I wanna know. That said, I don’t dilute Ayurveda down to trends—it’s deep, it works, but only when we respect its depth. Anyway, Sacred Lotus isn’t just a clinic—it’s where I’ve grown into this role, day by day. And honestly, being able to listen, reassure, and walk someone thru healing... yeah, that still feels like something worth showing up for everyday.

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 Dr. Nidhi Sharma, BAMS, M.S. (Ayu), with post grad in Prasuti Tantra Evum Stree Roga from Parul Institute of Ayurved, Parul University Vadodara… my Ayurvedic journey actually started way back with BAMS from Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh, where I got a solid base in classical texts n clinical skills. Right now I work as Medical Officer in OBGY at Sharma Hospital of Ayurveda, my own private practice, where focus is on restoring women’s health naturally—be it menstrual problems, pregnancy support, or menopause care. I mix classical therapies with lifestyle n diet corrections, because every woman’s prakriti & health story is different. Over years I presented 8 research papers on women’s health in different forums, plus I keep attending natl & intl seminars and webinars to keep my work updated. On 4 April 2022, got appreciation from Dr. B.S. Prasad, President, Board of Ayurveda (NCISM), for a sponsored clinical research on Menocramp Tablet in primary dysmenorrhea—it was rewarding to see the results match the classical understanding. Also received a memento on 6th Ayurveda Day from Dept. of Ayurveda Jhunjhunu, where I was invited as subject expert for “Ayurveda for Poshan”. My main interest is in conditions like PCOS, dysmenorrhea, infertility, menopausal syndrom, pregnancy related issues, always aiming for safe, sustainable, root-cause care. I want Ayurvedic women’s healthcare to feel accessible & effective… not like some distant theory but as a living, practical solution for every woman who seeks balance.

I am working in Ayurveda for over 8 yrs now, mostly with people dealing with neurotic, psychotic or psychiatric condtions – and honestly each case teaches me something new. My focus is on Manas Roga, the way Ayurveda explains mental health, and I try to make treatments very personal – classical herbs, Rasayana chikitsa, diet tweaks, lifestyle shifts... sometimes even small changes in routine make a big differnce. Over the years I also got really drawn to de-addiction work. I prepare customized herbal meds, using classical formulations, and combine them with detox therapies n counseling that go after both the body craving and the mind’s habit part. It’s not quick-fix work but I’ve seen slow steady recovery happen. Somewhere in between all this, I also did a course in Ayurvedic cosmetology – bit different from my main field but still connects to healing. I use prakriti-based skincare plans, herbal masks, oils, internal detox where needed, for things like acne, pigmentation, early aging or hair/scalp troubles. Whether I’m treating mental health, addiction or skin issues, I stick to root-cause care. I like to think of my clinic space as somewhere patients can speak openly, not feel rushed, and walk out with a plan that feels right for them.

I am mostly working in Ayurvedic diagnosis n chronic care these days — feels like that's where my mind keeps going back anyway. I rely a lot on Nadi Pareeksha, Prakriti analysis, and other classical tools to figure things out... like, not just *what* the disease is, but why it's even showing up in *that* particular person. That part always kinda fascinated me more than just symptom-matching. You listen, you touch the pulse, you observe – and sometimes things make sense in a way no lab report ever really shows. I try to keep the treatment plans very individual, which can get slow at times, not gonna lie... but then Ayurveda doesn’t really work in shortcuts, right? Whether it's diabetes, thyroid issues, stress headaches, digestive stuff or weird skin conditions that come n go, I focus on understanding doshic imbalances and deeper cause rather than just managing flare-ups. It’s not just about herbs or ghee preps or Panchakarma either — though those help — but about building some long-term balance back into their daily rhythm. Worked with folks across different stages — from lifestyle messes (which are most common now tbh) to more systemic or psychosomatic stuff. I tend to mix therapies like Virechana, Basti, or Shirodhara with diet tweaks and practical advice that they can actually follow in real life... like if someone's doing night shifts, I won’t go around telling them to wake up at 5am for Surya Namaskar lol. Gotta keep it real. Also, I do try and spend time explaining the “why” part of things to patients — about Tridosha, what foods might be tipping them off balance, or why constipation’s not just a small problem. Prevention's a big part of what I focus on, like how to live in tune with seasons, or how to not let work stress ruin their gut. I'm not here just to give a lehyam or churnam and send them off. If they don’t feel seen or understood, it doesn’t help them heal anyway.

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.

With over 16 years of dedicated clinical experience, I specialize in managing both chronic and acute health conditions through the lens of classical Ayurvedic medicine. My core areas of expertise include the holistic treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, where I integrate traditional Ayurvedic principles with individualized therapeutic strategies to support long-term developmental improvement and behavioral balance. I hold a strong specialization in Panchakarma therapy, a cornerstone of Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation. I have successfully administered tailored Panchakarma protocols to a wide range of patients dealing with lifestyle disorders, autoimmune conditions, digestive imbalances, and hormonal dysfunctions. This approach allows me to restore doshic balance, enhance immunity, and promote overall well-being in a safe, natural, and sustainable manner. Throughout my practice, I remain deeply committed to understanding the root cause of disease rather than simply addressing surface-level symptoms. I believe in developing personalized treatment plans that align with each patient's unique constitution (Prakriti), life circumstances, and health goals. My consultations often include a blend of herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox procedures, dietary counseling, and lifestyle adjustments, designed to offer long-lasting results without side effects. Working closely with patients of all ages, especially children with neurodevelopmental challenges, I have seen the profound impact that consistent Ayurvedic care can bring—improving focus, reducing anxiety, and enhancing quality of life. My goal is to empower patients and their families through informed guidance, compassionate support, and effective, evidence-based Ayurvedic care. I strive to uphold the integrity of Ayurveda while adapting its time-tested wisdom to meet the health needs of the modern world.
