Dr. Shubham Makawana
Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | Gujarat Ayurved University |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly focused on treating things like samarpan janya vyadhi (obesity-linked probs), amlapitta, joint pain, skin flareups and urinary issues through proper Ayurvedic protocols—not shortcut meds or symptom suppression. Obesity and metabolic probs, they’re not just “weight”—they mess with digestion, mood, joints, even skin, and I try to untangle all that from the root. Same with amlapitta—chronic acidity, GERD, belching, nausea... it’s way more common than ppl admit, and it needs proper agni reset not just antacids every day.
Arthritis—vata, sandhigat, even early auto-immune patterns—I handle through a mix of internal herbs, basti chikitsa, and lifestyle work. Not everything needs all-out panchakarma btw, small steady corrections help more sometimes.
I always start with a full nidan look—prakriti, ahar, daily stress, sleep patterns—all of it. Then build a treatment plan with diet, herbs, and mind-body stuff that ppl can *actually* follow. I’m not into overloading meds. The goal is sustainable balance. Always. |
Achievements: | I am trained in hands-on Ayurvedic procedures like Siravedha Karma and Akshi Tarpan Karma during my work at Shree Aatmanand Saraswati Hospital, Surat—those sessions really helped me understand how marma care and raktamokshan actually play out on real patients, not just paper. I also joined the YOGYA 2022 workshop at IIARH Rajkot where I performed Jalauka Avacharana, Pracchana Karma & cupping. Doing those therapies myself—felt messy, real, intense... and valuable in learning the body’s healing ways. |
I am an Ayurvedic doctor practicing currently at Swami Aatmanand Saraswati Hospital in Surat, and before that I trained at Indian Institute of Ayurved Research & Hospital, Rajkot. That place really gave me a solid grounding—not just theory but day-to-day clinical exposure where you learn to *actually* apply the shastra to ppl sitting across from you with real problems. I don’t believe in rushing through treatment or masking symptoms—my work is about going deeper, fixing the base cause and making sure the patient feels seen, heard, and helped. Chronic illness, lifestyle disorders, pain conditions, early stage imbalances—these are the kind of issues I mostly work with. Whether it’s diabetes, PCOD, acidity or stress-linked problems—Ayurveda always has something to say if you know where to look. I don’t follow one template. I use proper Ayurvedic nidanam, check doshas, understand the prakruti-vikruti shifts and then build a plan that *fits*. Usually it’s a combo—herbs, dietary rules, sleep guidance, detox where needed... even emotional reset when ppl are burned out or anxious without knowing why. Musculoskeletal pain is another area I see often—neck stiffness, lower back probs, early arthritis, etc. Some ppl come when nothing else worked, but even then, with the right internal meds, snehana, basti or virechan and small habit shifts—they do feel relief. But yeah, it takes patience. One thing I care about a lot is educating patients. I don't want them blindly following—when they *understand* their own imbalance, healing starts faster. I really try to explain stuff simply. Working at this hospital now, I see ppl from different walks—urban, rural, young, older—and that keeps me grounded. It’s not just about diseases... It’s about sustainable health, and Ayurveda helps ppl *live* better not just treat what's wrong. I still rely on what the classical texts taught me, but I also stay open to diagnostic tools when needed—bloods, scans, etc. It’s not old-vs-new for me. It’s what helps the person sitting in front of me right now. That’s what I work for.
