Dr. Bharat Bhushan
Experience: | 6 years |
Education: | Rajiv Gandhi Government Post Graduate Ayurvedic College |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly into treating gut stuff, skin flares and yeah—alcohol de-addiction too which, honestly, doesn’t get talked abt enough. Like if someone’s stuck with bloating or acidity for months, I don’t just throw a quick fix at them. I look into food patterns, stress, sleep, liver overload—stuff ppl usually miss. Herbs help sure, but diet tweaks n lifestyle cleanup matter more than they expect.
Same for skin—eczema, acne, psoriasis—most of it has deeper causes. I use classical lepas, oils, internal meds and yeah, detox too when needed. And with alcohol cases, it’s not just abt quitting but keeping them from slipping back. I work with herbal detox, mental focus stuff, even basic counseling if someone’s open. Goal ain’t just relief—it’s real recovery. |
Achievements: | I am kinda deep into the academic track too—written 3 ayurveda textbooks (yeah, all from scratch) and got 16 research articles out in indexed journals... which honestly took a lot more late-night edits than I care to count lol. I’ve also been part of several national and a few intl. conferences—those events really opened up my thinking. Not just theory, it made me more clear-headed in practice too. Real convos with peers > just reading papers, anytime. Keeps me sharper, no doubt. |
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.
