Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 4

I am practicing Ayurveda since 2018 after completing my graduation, and honestly it's been more of a lived journey than just a job. I started with a strong pull towards the classical roots of Ayurveda—not just textbook stuff but how it actually works in real people, in real life. Over time, that turned into a deeper thing... like how can I adapt ancient wisdom into today’s messy health realities without losing what actually makes Ayurveda work. I mostly work through root-cause diagnosis—like really digging into what’s going on underneath, not just what’s on the surface. I rely on tools like Nadi Pariksha, Prakriti mapping, dosha assessments—ya, all that. But it’s never just about charts. It’s how a person feels, how they react to things, how their body talks even when words don’t. From there I try to build a plan that’s theirs—not a one-size-fits-all—whether that means herbal meds, panchakarma (if needed), diet tweaks, or shifting daily habits that could be messing them up. I’ve worked with cases like skin conditions, gut issues, hormonal fluctuations, muscle pains, emotional burnout—stuff that sometimes don’t fit into one category. And tbh it’s not always quick or easy, but if we go layer by layer, things shift. And I don’t stop with the symptom going away—I try to make sure patients actually *get* what's happening inside them. That awareness kinda changes everything. Even now I keep updating myself—online seminars, tricky case discussions, those never really stop. It's not like I know everything, but I stay open. Always. If there's one thing I keep in practice, it's that trust grows through consistency. I check in, I explain what I can, I stay involved—not disappear after giving a prescription. And ya, sometimes ppl need more reassurance than medicine. I really just want Ayurveda to feel reachable, real, not wrapped in jargon. To help people feel in control of their health—not scared of it. That’s what I try to keep showing up for.

I am right now working as an Associate Professor, which honestly keeps me on my toes in the best way—there’s always something to teach, unlearn or re-look at. I’m teaching Ayurveda to students who’ll soon be out there as physicians themselves, n that feels like a huge responsibility. Not just teaching from the texts but making sure they *get* how it actually applies in practice, especially when things aren’t textbook clear (which is often). I stay involved in student research projects too—helping them think sharper, connect classical stuff with actual evidence, and see the relevance of Ayurveda in today's world, not just as something old or idealistic. At the same time, I’m very much into clinical work. I see patients regularly and treat conditions ranging from chronic diseases, metabolic issues to skin problems n infertility cases too. My approach is very case-specific—I don’t like the idea of generic plans. Every person walks in with a diff set of patterns and past mistakes, and my job is to figure where the imbalance started n how to reverse it or at least manage it without doing more damage. I use a mix of herbal meds, Panchakarma, diet corrections—whatever the case demands, nothing fixed. Being in both the academic n treatment side means I keep learning constantly. Sometimes what I teach in class gives me a deeper insight into my patient work, and sometimes patient responses make me go back to the books again. It’s never separate for me. This constant loop between theory and practice—yeah, that’s where I’ve grown most. I think real Ayurveda is in the details. And that’s what I try to give—whether it’s a student or someone walking into the clinic with a skin issue they’ve tried everything for. The aim is always clarity... not confusion with words or rituals but to use classical knowledge *correctly* in real life. That’s the space I’m working in n wanna stay rooted to.

I am a BAMS graduate from Rajiv Gandhi Health University and have spent the last 6 years figuring out how to actually *use* Ayurveda in real ppl’s lives—not just as theory or textbook talk but in treating actual complex, layered conditions. What I lean toward now is more of an integrative approach. Not because Ayurveda isn’t enough, but because sometimes, esp in chronic or tricky cases, blending modern diagnostics or allopathic inputs gives you better direction—sharper picture of what’s really going on inside. I use a mix—classical herbs, proper Panchakarma (not the rushed kind), and changes in routine or diet that match the person’s *prakriti* and situation. That’s the baseline. But also, I read reports, scan results, understand patient’s current meds—then think how Ayurveda can support, or in some cases even replace things safely over time. That part takes patience. Not everyone wants slow change, right? But for ppl who stay with it, we usually reach a point where symptoms settle & system starts to self-correct. In my work I’ve handled a range—from digestive disorders that just don’t go away, to chronic fatigue, PCOD, asthma, IBS, even stress-related pain conditions. I’ve seen how even small corrections in *ahara-vihara* combined with right dravyas n therapies can shift the whole picture. It’s not magic, just tailored care. What really matters to me is root-cause clarity. That’s where Ayurveda shines. And if modern tools help pinpoint that, I use them. I believe this crossroad—where Ayurvedic wisdom and medical tech meet—is where long-term healing lives. I'm always trying to stay curious, dig deeper into both systems, cuz patients don’t come in neat boxes—they come in with layers. And our job, at least how I see it, is to meet them where they are... and work forward from there.

I am currently working as an Ayurvedic physician at Lekshmi Ayurveda Health Care Centre, Kovalam. I manage my own cases now—OP, follow-ups, therapies—all of it. It’s still surreal sometimes, but yeah I handle everything from digestive complaints n chronic stress to joint stiffness or lifestyle-linked stuff that won’t budge easy. My treatment plans mostly revolve around identifying *why* things are going wrong rather than just naming what’s wrong. Like, not just “gastritis” but okay—what’s the *real* trigger here? Weak agni? Food choices? Stress? That kind of layering helps, and I rely on classical Ayurvedic therapies, sometimes Panchakarma if needed, plus herbs, and daily routine tweaks ppl can *actually* stick to. Before this I got a chance to assist senior docs at NARIP Cheruthuruthi and also Govt Ayurveda Dispensary Poovachal—just for a month each but honestly those two months shaped me a lot. Like being thrown into the deep end but in a good way. Real patients, complex symptoms, watching the way experienced vaidyas read nadi, observed tiny details, explained stuff without overcomplicating. That’s where I started learning how Ayurvedic diagnosis isn't about ticking boxes, it’s like a full-body language you learn to hear over time. I’ve slowly built confidence dealing with musculoskeletal pains, gut health problems, detox cases, lifestyle disorders (you’d be surprised how many ppl struggle with the *same* bad habits), and stress conditions showing up physically. I don’t try to force results fast. I prefer sustainable healing—even if that takes some back n forth, as long as the root is addressed. I do a lot of lifestyle counselling—because yeah, treatment won’t work if your food-sleep-stress is out of whack right? Still learning every single day. Still making mistakes and correcting them. But every case adds something new to how I think as a doctor. And I really do believe Ayurveda has that space—for slow, deep, lasting change if we use it wisely.

I am working right now as a Senior Research Fellow on an AYUSH-funded project under CCRAS—it’s a big one for me. It’s not just about writing papers or collecting data, like some people assume. We’re actually trying to validate classical Ayurvedic treatments using proper research methods, real patients, real clinical outcomes. I didn’t expect research to pull me in this deep honestly, but it’s showing me how much of Ayurveda still needs to be *re-seen* through today's lens. Not reinvented, just translated properly. That’s the work we’re doing—trying to show what already works, in a language modern healthcare understands. Alongside that, I also work as a personal diet consultant with Bajaj Capital. It’s a different setup entirely—one-on-one with clients who’re mostly confused about food, health, energy, what’s wrong or right for their body type. I build plans based on their prakriti, current imbalances (some ppl don’t even know they have any!), season, and life habits. And no, it’s not only about what to eat—it’s also about when, how, how much. Diet, sleep, stress—all of it connects. Sometimes the advice is dead simple, but that’s exactly what people ignore. This combination—research plus real-life consulting—it’s made my approach more grounded, I think. I’m always toggling between ancient texts and current-day issues like burnout, insulin resistance, or digestion that just refuses to settle. Whether it's a vata-heavy imbalance or long-term acidity or even lifestyle stuff like thyroid or bp, my goal is to keep it practical and honest—not just throw herbs or panchkarma at every single thing. It's about fitting Ayurveda into the real life ppl are living.

I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

I am working as an Ayurvedic Consultant and honestly, the more I dive into this field, the more layered it feels. Most of what I do revolves around classic Ayurvedic principles—no shortcuts, no trend-chasing, just real, grounded work. My role usually starts with nadi pariksha or proper dosha analysis, then building a treatment plan that’s actually doable for the patient (because let’s face it, not everyone can take 14 kashayams a day right?). I handle both chronic n acute conditions, but I’ve mostly been seeing folks struggling with lifestyle disorders, digestion issues, back pain, stress.. things that modern life kinda brings in quietly till it explodes. In the clinic, I work with herbal medicines, diet plans, Panchakarma when needed—depends on the person, their strength, their prakriti. I like keeping the approach patient-first, not textbook-driven. Every person needs different handling. Some respond to gut-level changes, some need full detox. You gotta *read* the person before you treat. Over time I started getting more into educating patients too—not just handing out meds, but explaining why their symptoms keep coming back, what foods are messing with them, or why sleep’s off balance. That combo of treating *and* teaching has worked pretty well I feel.. people become more aware, which means fewer relapses later. I’m not into quick fixes or fancy packaging—just honest Ayurveda that fits into real lives. My thing is making treatment sustainable. If it’s too hard to follow, it won’t last. And yeah, this experience’s really taught me patience.. coz healing takes time, and everyone shows up at a different point in that journey.

I am Dr. Nisha Parveen, an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly just really into helping people feel balanced again. Not in a vague way—I mean actual, noticeable, inside-out balance. I work with patients of all ages but it’s never a one-size-fits-all kinda deal. Whether someone’s struggling with digestion that just won’t settle, skin flares, joint stiffness that drags on, or stress that’s quietly breaking them down… I always try to pause first and ask, what’s really going on underneath? I follow classical Ayurvedic texts (can’t really skip that if you're serious about the science), but I'm not stuck in the past either. Health today is messy—odd sleep habits, processed food, emotional burnout—and I like making treatment plans that actually *fit* into all that. Herbs, Panchakarma, diet corrections, subtle routine nudges—they all play a part. Sometimes it's just changing a tiny morning thing that makes the most difference... and I learn that again with each patient. One of the most fulfilling areas for me has been working with women—especially around hormonal shifts, pregnancy care, even fatigue that gets dismissed way too often. I focus a lot on identifying the root cause—prakriti, agni, ama, seasonal triggers, you name it—and once we see that clearly, the healing just gets smoother. Garbhasanskar is a big part of my work too. Guiding mothers through that journey, using Ayurvedic tools to nurture not just the body but mind and heart—that’s something that feels really close to my core. I don’t promise overnight results. What I *do* promise is that I’ll actually listen, think carefully, and stay with the process. Health isn’t a quick fix and I kinda think people know that deep down. I just try to hold space for it—to offer care that’s steady, rooted in real Ayurvedic logic, but also aware of modern-day chaos. That’s really what my practice is about.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a year of clinical practice behind me—not a long time maybe, but it’s been packed with real cases, real people, and a lot of learning that no book ever covered. Most of my patients come with things like sluggish digestion, body aches that just won’t leave, or stress-linked disorders they didn’t even know were connected. And honestly, that’s where Ayurveda works best... when you go deep and try to figure *why* the problem even started. I usually begin with detailed case-taking (sometimes people are surprised at how many things I ask!), then nadi pariksha, and checking dosha status—it helps me design treatment that doesn’t just fix the surface. I use classical herbal meds, sometimes with panchakarma when needed, and a lot of daily routine tweaking too—like sleep timing, bowel patterns, food sequence, all of it. Because if you skip those small bits, the deeper work doesn't hold. Even though I’m still early in my journey, the patient response kind of speaks for itself. Many people have told me they felt heard here for the first time. And that’s something I care about a lot—to really *listen* before jumping into treatment. I’ve also been working closely with mentors and seniors to refine how I handle complex or slow-progress cases—especially ones where symptoms keep bouncing back or don’t fit neatly into one dosha type. Day by day I’m seeing how much this science can adapt to today’s lifestyles without losing its roots. That balance, that’s the thing I’m trying to build in my approach. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes slow. But when it clicks—it really clicks. I’m just here, steadily learning, treating, and hoping to keep making Ayurveda feel more real and reachable for the ppl who walk in my door.

I am practicing Ayurveda both through my own clinic and online for a while now—honestly I didn’t think online would work this well when I started 2 yrs back, but patients adapted fast, and I did too. Past one year I’ve been mostly focused on my in-clinic work, seeing patients in person, checking Nadi, tongue, eyes, full prakriti analysis when needed... all that hands-on stuff you miss online sometimes. Still, I keep doing regular teleconsults too, especially for follow-ups or people living far—those convos are just as real. What I handle most often? lifestyle disorders, gut issues, joint stiffness, migraine, stress, fatigue syndromes… those kinds of long-running complaints that ppl usually try everything for before walking into an Ayurveda setup. My strength is in breaking down the *why* behind their illness—not just saying “ok take this herb”—but digging into digestion, sleep pattern, bowel quality, emotional triggers, the whole picture really. I use classical herbs, sometimes combinations if needed, and suggest Panchakarma only where I feel body really needs deeper detox—not just for the sake of it. A big part of my work is diet + daily routine correction too. Small things like wrong food timing or skipping oil application—these add up. I try to make my treatment plans very practical, no huge dos & don’ts unless absolutely needed. One thing I’ve seen is that giving enough time during consults—whether online or in person—makes all the difference. When ppl feel heard, they start healing faster. That’s why I’m very particular about not rushing into diagnosis, even if symptoms seem typical. Every case carries something unique. I believe a big part of Ayurveda’s future is in blending classical principles with the reach of digital care. Whether it’s a young girl with PCOD in a small town or someone working nightshifts in a metro—I want my practice to be accessible, rooted in real Ayurvedic wisdom, and easy to follow.
