Dr. Vinayak Galatage
Experience: | 11 years |
Education: | KLE Shri. B.M. Kankanwadi Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working with kids, focusing on Ayurvedic treatment for developmental disorders, growth issues, childhood infections and those stubborn allergic conditions that keep coming back. Over time, I’ve seen many children with ADHD, autism, speech delays, and other neurodevelopmental problems – each case is diff and needs its own plan, no shortcuts. I try to keep my approach child-friendly, with herbal remedies, diet changes, and small lifestyle shifts that families can actually follow without feeling lost. For me it’s not just about fixing symptoms, but going deeper to find the root cause – whether it’s dosha imbalance, diet, or something in the child’s routine. I want every treatment to also improve the child’s overall health, immunity, and balanced growth, not just “treat” a label. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes it surprises you, but the aim is always lasting improvement and better quality of life for both the child and the family. |
Achievements: | I am quite proud of a few moments in my career… like getting the Himalaya AyurVisharad Award back in 2009 – that one felt special, because it wasn’t just a medal, it was a nod to my work in Ayurveda. During my UG days at RGUHS, I managed to secure a university rank in Kayachikitsa, which honestly was tough with the competition we had. Later, doing MD in Kaumarbhritya (Baalroga) at KLE University, Belgaum, I came 1st rank – that still feels unreal sometimes. All of it keeps me grounded yet pushes me to keep learning. |
I am Dr. Vinayak Girish Galatage, working as an Ayurvedic pediatrician and mostly dealing with those tricky childhood issues that dont just go away with a single pill or syrup. My focus is on developmental disorders, growth problems, and infectious diseases in kids – but I look at them all through the classical Ayurveda way, not just symptom chasing. Over the years, I’ve met children with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, speech delays, and other neurodevelopmental challenges… and honestly, each one teaches me something new about patience and precision in treatment. I work by first understanding the child’s prakriti – their unique constitution – because two kids with the “same” diagnosis may still need completely different therapies. The treatments I use are a mix of Ayurvedic herbal formulations, dietary changes, gentle detox when needed, and lifestyle tweaks that parents can actually follow at home without feeling overwhelmed. I try to keep the clinic environment friendly, no intimidating stuff, just a space where kids feel safe and parents feel heard. I’m not only looking to reduce symptoms but also to dig into the root causes – whether it’s imbalanced doshas, diet errors, or environmental factors – and then work steadily toward restoring balance. Watching a child slowly improve in focus, speech, growth or immunity is kind of the reason I keep doing this every day. And yeah, some cases take longer, progress comes in small steps, but those moments when a parent says their child is eating better, sleeping well, or finally speaking more words… that’s worth everything. My aim is to keep combining the depth of traditional Ayurvedic pediatrics with a practical, evidence-based approach, so healing is both effective and sustainable.
