Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 4

I am Dr. Harsha Vardhan G, a committed Ayurvedic physician with specialized certification in Clinical Cosmetology, Orthopedic Disorders, and Lifestyle Disease Management, awarded by the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) through NARIP, Kerala—India’s national institute for Panchakarma under the Ministry of AYUSH. My clinical approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic wisdom while being refined through evidence-based training. In the field of Clinical Cosmetology, I offer holistic care for skin, hair, and weight concerns using Ayurvedic protocols such as leech therapy, herbal facials, Udvartana (powder massage), and Kesh Chikitsa (hair therapy). These treatments are tailored to modern lifestyle needs, ensuring both aesthetic and therapeutic outcomes. I also specialize in the management of Orthopedic Disorders including osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, cervical and lumbar spondylosis, and muscular imbalances. My hands-on experience with Panchakarma therapies—such as Kati Basti, Patrapinda Sweda, Abhyanga, and Basti karma—enables me to provide natural, lasting relief from joint and spine conditions. Another core focus of my practice is Lifestyle Disorder Management, where I guide patients with conditions like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, stress, and insomnia using individualized plans that incorporate Ahara (diet), Vihara (routine), and Oushadha (medicines), along with structured counseling and follow-up. I integrate classical diagnostic tools such as Nadi Pariksha and Dashavidha Pariksha with modern client-centric consultation methods. My clinical strength lies in delivering personalized, ethical, and transformative care—be it through outpatient consultations, Panchakarma execution, or preventive wellness programs. Training at NARIP, Cheruthuruthy, under CCRAS has shaped my vision to bring authentic Ayurveda to everyday lives through safe, non-invasive, and effective healing practices.

With over 5 years of clinical experience, including 2 years of specialized involvement in critical care management. My practice is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic principles, yet adaptable to the complex needs of modern healthcare. This dual exposure has allowed me to approach patient care with a unique perspective—bridging traditional wisdom with the realities of acute and chronic disease management. Throughout my Ayurvedic journey, I have treated a wide range of conditions, from lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid imbalance, and PCOS to chronic pain, skin diseases, and metabolic dysfunction. My expertise also extends to preventive healthcare, detoxification therapies (Panchakarma), and long-term wellness planning. Each treatment plan I design is customized based on the patient’s prakriti (constitution), vikriti (imbalance), and stage of disease (avastha), ensuring deeply personalized care. My experience in critical care settings has enhanced my ability to work with complex cases, monitor disease progression closely, and understand the importance of timely intervention. While Ayurveda traditionally focuses on long-term healing, I incorporate diagnostic precision, acute care support, and collaborative care models to ensure patients receive holistic yet timely treatment—even in high-risk scenarios. I believe in empowering my patients through education, helping them understand the root causes of their conditions and guiding them with practical lifestyle, diet, and herbal recommendations that support sustainable recovery. My goal is to provide compassionate, integrative, and outcome-focused care that not only treats illness but restores health at its foundation. Whether managing everyday concerns or working alongside modern medicine in critical cases, I am committed to offering Ayurvedic care that is both authentic and effective.

I have had the privilege of gaining extensive clinical and research experience through my work in both premier institutions and active hospital settings. I served as a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Rheumatology at AIIMS, New Delhi, for two years, where I was involved in advanced clinical research focused on autoimmune and inflammatory joint diseases. This role significantly deepened my understanding of complex rheumatological conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, and other connective tissue disorders. During my tenure at AIIMS, I actively participated in patient care, multidisciplinary discussions, and academic presentations, which helped sharpen my diagnostic skills and evidence-based approach to chronic disease management. Working closely with some of the leading rheumatologists in India allowed me to gain valuable insights into long-term treatment planning, immunomodulatory therapy, and the importance of patient education in disease management. Following this, I worked as a Resident Medical Officer at Tulip Hospital for one year. In this role, I handled a broad spectrum of medical cases in an acute care environment, managing both inpatient and outpatient responsibilities. This experience further strengthened my clinical decision-making, emergency response, and communication skills with patients and their families. My practice is rooted in a patient-centric philosophy, where I focus not only on accurate diagnosis and effective treatment but also on clear communication and empathetic care. I am committed to continuing my learning and staying updated with the latest advances in internal medicine and rheumatology to offer the best possible outcomes to my patients.

I am Dr. Bhavana S. Gaitonde, and I hold a postgraduate degree in Dravyaguna Vignana from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research, Bengaluru. My academic training and clinical exposure have deeply rooted my understanding of Ayurvedic pharmacology, allowing me to apply the healing power of medicinal herbs in a precise, evidence-based, and individualized manner. Dravyaguna Vignana, the study of medicinal plants and their therapeutic actions, forms the backbone of my practice. I specialize in selecting and formulating herbal treatments based on the patient’s prakriti (constitution), doshic imbalance, and disease stage. My focus lies in offering safe, effective, and sustainable solutions using herbs, formulations, and dietary protocols that align with classical Ayurvedic texts as well as modern clinical requirements. Having studied in a reputed institution that emphasizes both theoretical depth and practical relevance, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with classical formulations, raw herbs, and contemporary research in plant-based medicine. This has not only sharpened my diagnostic skills but also empowered me to design treatment protocols that maximize therapeutic outcomes with minimal side effects. I am particularly passionate about educating patients on the medicinal value of Ayurvedic herbs and the importance of conscious living. Whether it's managing chronic conditions, supporting recovery, or promoting preventive health, I strive to make Ayurveda approachable, practical, and impactful in everyday life. My practice combines compassion with clinical precision, and I am committed to staying updated through continued learning, research engagement, and participation in professional forums.

I have developed strong expertise in the Ayurvedic management of various anorectal conditions, with a focus on providing non-invasive, holistic care to patients suffering from fistula-in-ano, piles (hemorrhoids), fissures, pilonidal sinus, and other chronic rectal disorders. My approach integrates classical Ayurvedic therapies with Kshar Sutra treatment, a time-tested para-surgical procedure that offers effective, minimally invasive solutions for complex anorectal diseases with low recurrence rates. In addition to my specialization in anorectal care, I have extensive experience in managing chronic wounds using a holistic and individualized approach. Many patients with non-healing or recurrent wounds benefit from Ayurvedic therapies that aim to cleanse, heal, and rejuvenate the tissue at a deep level. I combine herbal medications, wound care techniques, and detoxification therapies to stimulate natural healing while addressing the underlying causes of chronic wounds, including poor circulation, infection, or systemic imbalances. I emphasize patient education and personalized care, ensuring that each individual understands their condition, treatment options, and preventive measures. I believe in restoring health by treating the root cause and supporting the body’s natural healing potential, rather than simply addressing symptoms. This philosophy allows my patients to experience long-term relief and improved quality of life. With a commitment to evidence-based Ayurvedic practice and compassionate care, I strive to offer safe, effective, and natural treatments for patients seeking alternatives to conventional surgery or long-term medication.
