Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 41

I am Dr. Nidhi Sharma, BAMS, M.S. (Ayu), with post grad in Prasuti Tantra Evum Stree Roga from Parul Institute of Ayurved, Parul University Vadodara… my Ayurvedic journey actually started way back with BAMS from Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh, where I got a solid base in classical texts n clinical skills. Right now I work as Medical Officer in OBGY at Sharma Hospital of Ayurveda, my own private practice, where focus is on restoring women’s health naturally—be it menstrual problems, pregnancy support, or menopause care. I mix classical therapies with lifestyle n diet corrections, because every woman’s prakriti & health story is different. Over years I presented 8 research papers on women’s health in different forums, plus I keep attending natl & intl seminars and webinars to keep my work updated. On 4 April 2022, got appreciation from Dr. B.S. Prasad, President, Board of Ayurveda (NCISM), for a sponsored clinical research on Menocramp Tablet in primary dysmenorrhea—it was rewarding to see the results match the classical understanding. Also received a memento on 6th Ayurveda Day from Dept. of Ayurveda Jhunjhunu, where I was invited as subject expert for “Ayurveda for Poshan”. My main interest is in conditions like PCOS, dysmenorrhea, infertility, menopausal syndrom, pregnancy related issues, always aiming for safe, sustainable, root-cause care. I want Ayurvedic women’s healthcare to feel accessible & effective… not like some distant theory but as a living, practical solution for every woman who seeks balance.

I am working in Ayurveda for more than 5 years now, feels like a long road but also like I’m still learning everyday. My focus has been on treating musculoskeletal, neuro, skin and lifestyle disorders… that’s a wide area but they all connect in some way if you look at root causes. For joint and spine issues—arthritis, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc trouble, stiffness—I use Abhyanga, Kati Basti, Patra Pinda Sweda, along with internal meds adjusted for the patient’s prakruti. Neuro cases are a bit tricky, like migraine, neuropathy, sciatica, even some early neurodegenerative changes—Panchakarma and Rasayana really helps here, though it’s not a magic button, takes patience from both sides. Skin cases… eczema, psoriasis, acne, fungal infections—I usually start with digestion and detox, then herbs and diet tweaks, it’s not just topical. And with lifestyle disorders—obesity, hypothyroid, stress, diabetes, BP—I try to balance meds, diet, yoga, daily habits in a way they can actually follow (because unrealistic plans just fail). I think what matters most is finding that root imbalance, not just treating symptoms. I like to keep follow ups regular, adjust things if needed, explain what’s happening in simple words. For me Ayurveda isn’t just about “natural” it’s about precise, personalised care that works with the patient’s body not against it. In the end, the goal is they leave not only better but also knowing how to stay well.

I am working as a Junior Resident Doctor for 2 years in the Dept of Shalyatantra at JB Roy State Ayurvedic Medical College & Hospital – honestly, being in one of the top places for Ayurvedic surgical training changed the way I look at both surgery and Ayurveda itself. Those years taught me not just the theory but the actual day-to-day handling of surgical & para-surgical cases… especially Ksharasutra. Managing piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika) became like second nature after a while, though each patient still feel different – we used Ksharasutra, Bastis, plus Ayurvedic post-op care to cut down recurrences and help wounds heal faster. I also kept gravitating towards joint & bone related cases, arthritis, degenerative joints – probably cause I saw how much Panchakarma (Janu Basti, Patra Pinda Sweda) plus Rasayana herbs can change things if done right. Somewhere along the way, I also started taking more endocrine & metabolic cases… PCOD, obesity, even geriatric weakness – here too, finding the root cause first before throwing any medicine at it is my basic rule. For me, every treatment plan is personal – I go through the patient’s habits, diet, Prakriti, and then pick a path that feels sustainable for them. Sometimes that means more detox work, sometimes diet corrections, sometimes a mix. My whole focus is to keep things authentic Ayurveda but also practical for today’s lifestyle. I guess that’s why I like blending the old classical ways with modern diagnostic tools – it keeps me sure about the diagnosis and gives the patient more trust in the process.

I am starting my Ayurveda jurney from Rajkiya Ayurveda Chikitsalaya, Jhajhra, Dehradun, where I did six months hands-on training. that place really shaped how I see patient care – working with so many diff. cases, doing Prakriti analysis, matching herbs, diets, and all those small daily routine tweaks. It made me realise early that healing is not just about one-size-fits-all. Later I moved to AyurMax Hospital & Panchkarma Centre, Dehradun, for another 6 months… more into OPD care and assisting in Panchakarma, which was like a crash course in seeing classical therapies in real hospital setup. That time I learnt how detoxification isn’t just theory – you actually see people change, sometimes slowly, sometimes quick. For the past year I am with MedScribe as Ayurvedic teleconsultant, talking to patients from all over India on calls or video, where you don’t have the pulse under your fingers but still you got to assess dosha, diet habits, lifestyle mess, and make a treatment plan they can actually follow. It’s tricky but rewarding. With these over two years, my style now is a mix of classical texts and what really works in modern life – detailed Prakriti & dosha assessment, herbal medicines, Panchakarma when needed, diet corrections, and daily routines that make sense for each person. I keep trying to make Ayurveda feel practical and reachable, whether you sit infront of me or on the other end of the phone. My aim stays same – help people find balance, energy, and a better sense of their own health constitution.

I am an Ayurvedic graduate who’s kinda obsessed with understanding people’s health in that deeper, root-cause way. not just fixing symptoms but really digging into what’s throwing the balance off in the first place. my work is all about keeping it authentic, sticking to the classical Ayurvedic principles while still making it fit the world we live in right now. I try to make each plan feel like it’s just for that one person – the herbs, the food guidance, even the little daily habits. I learnt a lot not only from books but also sitting in with respected vaidyas like Vd Suvinay Damle, Vd Chandrakumar Deshmukh & Vd Pranav Bhagwat… each one had a totally different way of looking at dosha imbalance, prakriti reading, and matching medicines to what’s actually going on inside the patient. that mixed exposure really shaped how I think through a diagnosis, sometimes a bit slower because I like to be sure, but it helps. In my consults – whether it’s someone struggling with a chronic thing, lifestyle troubles or just wanting to keep well – I focus on giving a clear path they can follow without feeling overwhelmed. I think empathy matters as much as the medicine, maybe more on some days. herbal remedies, food tweaks, lifestyle shifts… all tied together so they support each other. I keep learning, hands-on and also by going back to the texts, plus case discussions – feels like there’s always another layer to Ayurveda. the bigger goal in my head is not just to treat, but to help in keeping this knowledge alive & useful in real healthcare today. it’s slow work, but I’m here for it.

I am right now working as a Resident Medical Officer at Uttranchal Hospital and Diagnostic Centre, Dehradun. Been here about 3 months now and still every day feels a bit different.. sometimes hectic, sometimes calm. My BAMS is from Patanjali Ayurved College & Hospital where I also did my internship – that time gave me a solid base in classical Ayurvedic protocols and real patient care (not just in books). After that I did another 6-month stint at Civil Hospital, Roorkee, which honestly was like a crash course in managing a big variety of conditions, from the very routine to cases that really make you stop and think. Those early days taught me that accuracy in diagnosis isn’t just about knowing theory – it’s about listening carefully, picking up the small signs, and not rushing into assumptions. In every role, I keep leaning on Ayurveda’s depth but also adapt to what’s practical for the patient sitting in front of me. That might mean herbal formulations, diet planning, lifestyle tweaks or even just explaining things in a way they can follow at home without feeling overwhelmed. I pay close attention to communication – because sometimes patients leave with half their doubts unanswered, and that’s not okay for me. Whether in OPD or during ward rounds, I try to keep a balance of science and sensitivity, making sure treatments are evidence-based but also personalised to the patient’s prakriti and current needs. My aim hasn’t really changed from the start – keep learning, keep improving, and stay rooted in ethical practice while actually helping people get better, not just temporarily but in a way that lasts.

I am Dr. Arun Desai, working in Ayurveda for 19+ years now, both online and offline. My clinic, Ayur Sanjivani, is at #44 B 1, Opp Adarsh Laundry, beside Tej Residency, near Kavalemath Somwaar Peth Cross in Tilakwadi, Belgaum – bit of a long address but patients seem to find it just fine. Over time I’ve learned that people today want relief fast but still safe and lasting. That’s where I mix the depth of classical Ayurveda with practical tweaks to suit this fast moving lifestyle. I don’t like giving something that just masks a symptom – I want to get to the root cause whenever possible. At the clinic, I try to keep things warm and easy to talk, not a stiff doctor’s table vibe. Whether it’s diagnosis, a Panchakarma session, or simple counseling, I want patients to feel they can ask anything, even small doubts. Education matters too – when someone understands why a certain diet or lifestyle change is needed, they actually follow it better. Treatments may include herbal formulations, diet charts, yoga routines, exercise plans, detox, anti-stress work – all depending on their prakruti and condition. Over the years, I’ve treated people from many walks of life – each case different, which keeps me learning. Some come for joint pain, some for skin problems, others for lifestyle disorders like diabetes or high BP. I still follow authentic Ayurvedic principles but adapt them so they work in today’s reality. And yes, I’m always updating my knowledge, making sure the practice stays ethical and effective, because for me, Ayurveda isn’t just treatment – it’s a way to help someone rebuild their health from inside out.

I am a post-grad in Paediatrics (Kaumarbhritya) from Govt Ayurvedic College & Hospital, Nanded, and during my residency I got pretty hands-on with all kinds of child care — OPDs, IPDs, and even NICU work. I handled kids from newborns to older children with different issues, from routine fevers to those scary emergencies where every second matter. Over time I learnt not just the diagnosis and treatment part but also the softer bits, like guiding parents who are stressed or confused about what’s happening. My training had a lot of real, on-the-ground work – growth & development checks, making customised immunization schedules, giving nutrition advice that parents can actually follow at home. And there were the intense procedures too… lumbar punctures, intubations, umbilical catheterization, exchange transfusions – all done under senior supervision, which honestly built up my confidence step by step. I also took part in academics – journal reviews, case presentations, group discussions – which made me think sharper and explain things better. That’s something I carry into practice now, whether I’m explaining a condition to parents or deciding the next step in a tricky case. My style of care blends Ayurvedic principles with modern paediatrics, not in a vague way but in an actual, workable manner – meaning I can look at root causes and still use updated diagnostic tools. At the end of the day, my aim is simple: give children care that’s both safe and effective, and help families feel like they’re part of the process, not just on the receiving end of instructions. I want to support kids at every stage – physically, mentally, emotionally – because all of it matters.

I am working as an Ayurvedic physician for a bit over 12 years now, mostly with Sane Care Madhavbaug Ayurvedic Cardiac Clinics, where my main focus is on helping people with long term lifestyle disorders… heart conditions, diabetes, hypertension, obesity – you name it. I try to keep it very patient centric, looking at both classical Ayurvedic therapies and whatever modern diagnostic info we can get, cause honestly both sides bring value. Most days I’m building treatment plans from scratch – sometimes that’s herbal meds, sometimes Panchakarma, sometimes just strong lifestyle changes with clear diet rules. I like digging into the root of the problem rather than only chasing symptoms. That’s why preventive work is big for me – catching heart and metabolic issues before they get too far. And yeah, it’s not always simple cause people come with years of habits to unlearn. For the past 2.7 years, I’m also doing something slightly different at IKS Health, working as a Clinical Documentation & Quality Expert. That basically means I spend a lot of time making sure doctors’ notes, reports and care plans are clear, accurate, and compliant – it might not sound exciting but good documentation really does improve patient care and avoid confusions later. I keep learning from both traditional texts and new studies cause medicine, even Ayurveda, doesn’t stand still. My goal’s pretty simple – treat ethically, explain clearly, and guide people toward recovery or prevention in a way they can actually stick with long term… not just for a few weeks.

I am working in Ayurvedic cardiology from last 12 yrs, feels like the time just slipped. Most of my work is with people having heart & blood vessel issues – hypertension, high cholestrol, early signs of artery blockage, all that stuff we really shouldn’t ignore but many do until it starts hurting. I stick to classical Ayurvedic principles but also mix it with modern diagnostics cause well, patients need both. My treatments are usually not one-size-fits-all… there’s herbs, Panchakarma detox, diet rules (Pathya-Apathya) and lifestyle tweaks, sometimes even tiny changes make a big diff. I spend quite some time on preventive side too, helping folks set up daily routines (Dinacharya) and manage stress so it doesn’t creep into the heart. Over the years I’ve seen people cut down meds or even avoid surgeries when they start early, though yes not every case can. I keep reading both classical texts and new studies – it keeps my approach grounded yet updated. My aim, always, is to treat the root problem not just the symptom flare-ups, and make sure whatever I do is safe, effective and feels right for the person’s life. I really think half of healing is when the patient understands what’s going on inside their own body, so I talk… a lot, maybe more than they expect, but it works.
