Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 42

I am working as a Consultant Surgeon, Coloproctologist and Laser Specialist at Galaxy Multispeciality Hospital in Vadodara, Gujarat.. most of my day revolves around diagnosing and treating anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas, and pilonidal sinus. I tend to focus more on minimally invasive work – especially advanced laser surgeries – because they usually mean less pain, smaller wounds and patients get back to life faster. That part always feels satisfying. I try to be as precise as possible in diagnosis, since a wrong or half diagnosis can mess up treatment completely. Patient education is a big deal for me too, explaining the why & how behind each step, even if it takes extra time. Over the years I’ve seen that early surgery, done with the right technique, can totally change someone’s quality of life. Sadly many people wait too long due to embarrassment or fear of “big” surgery. Working with the hospital’s multi-disciplinary team makes pre and post-op care a lot smoother, we all keep tabs on each stage so recovery isn’t just left to chance. I’m especially into spreading awareness about colorectal health – feels like a topic we avoid talking about until it’s too late. Whether it’s a small case or a tricky one with multiple issues, I stick to evidence based and ethical practice, aiming for long term relief instead of just quick fixes.

I am Dr. P. Anjana, BAMS, PGDOH, CRAV, right now working as a Consultant at Niramaya Ayurvedic Clinic and Pharmacy. My whole practice is built around pure ayurveda but with a mind open to integrative methods when that can help the patient more. I finished my BAMS from Alva’s Ayurveda Medical College, Moodbidri… that’s where I really started feeling the depth of this science, not just as treatment but as a way of life that stays relevant even in modern hectic living. Later, I went for a Post Graduate Diploma in One Health (PGDOH) from KVASU — honestly it changed the way I look at health because it’s not just about a single patient, it’s humans, animals, the environment… all tangled together in ways we don’t notice daily. I also trained in Ayurvedic Ophthalmology (Netra Chikitsa) under CRAV, Ministry of AYUSH, and did my clinical program at Sreedhareeyam Eye Hospital & Research Centre, Koothattukulam, which is like the top name in this field. Working there gave me real hands-on with different eye disorders, some chronic, some acute, and how Ayurveda can address them in ways that are gentle yet powerful. I also went through FCCAP (Foundation Course in Ayurvedic Counseling and Psychotherapy) at Kottakkal Ayurveda College. That helped me improve the way I connect with patients… sometimes it’s not just the medicine but the conversation that begins healing. On the side, I’ve done workshops in Ayurvedic cosmetology and herbal product formulation — learning to blend classical knowledge with custom skincare solutions for real skin issues, not just cosmetic appeal. Right now I am also pursuing DBCM (Diploma in Business and Clinical Management) while continuing my consultations. This part may sound non-medical, but it actually makes sure I can run my clinic in a way that gives patients structured, timely, and effective care without things falling through the cracks. Whether it’s eye care, lifestyle disorders, skin conditions, or emotional health, I try to listen deeply and craft a treatment plan that respects both classical Ayurvedic texts and the patient’s personal life situation. It’s not always perfect, and sometimes the path is slow, but in the end, the aim is steady, sustainable healing that feels right to the person receiving it.

I am working in Ayurveda for more than 12 years now and honestly the deeper I get into it, the more I feel this old science still answers so many “modern” problems. Did my BAMS from a good institute, then went ahead with more focused learning in Panchakarma, herbal meds, Ayurvedic nutrition – for me the whole point is healing from the root, not just covering up symptoms for a while. Most days in my practice I meet people with chronic joint pains, digestive troubles that flare on and off, stress-linked headaches or anxiety, skin conditions like eczema or sudden rashes, breathing issues, and metabolic concerns like diabetes. Even when the diagnosis on paper reads the same, the person in front of me never is – their prakriti, history, lifestyle, all make the treatment path different. I design Panchakarma programs, Rasayana plans to rebuild strength and immunity, and herbal formulations – but they’re never “off the shelf”, always tweaked to the person’s body type and day-to-day life. A big part of my work is diet & lifestyle guidance – no point in doing therapies if the habits stay harmful, right? At Inspire Aesthetix I handle consultations, detox programs, preventive healthcare work, and a lot of awareness sessions. I’ve run workshops and small drives to get people to see Ayurveda as something practical for today, not just a tradition to read about. When I meet a patient, I don’t just note the symptoms – I ask about their story, family history, stress levels, even small emotional cues. Sometimes that one detail changes the whole plan. For me healing means the mind and body working in sync, not just an absence of pain or discomfort. There are cases that turn around fast, and others where progress is slow and steady – but in all of them, the goal is lasting change. Maybe it sounds idealistic, but I’ve seen enough to know it’s possible when treatment is personal, consistent, and rooted in the real principles of Ayurveda.

I am working in Ayurveda for over 8 yrs now, mostly with people dealing with neurotic, psychotic or psychiatric condtions – and honestly each case teaches me something new. My focus is on Manas Roga, the way Ayurveda explains mental health, and I try to make treatments very personal – classical herbs, Rasayana chikitsa, diet tweaks, lifestyle shifts... sometimes even small changes in routine make a big differnce. Over the years I also got really drawn to de-addiction work. I prepare customized herbal meds, using classical formulations, and combine them with detox therapies n counseling that go after both the body craving and the mind’s habit part. It’s not quick-fix work but I’ve seen slow steady recovery happen. Somewhere in between all this, I also did a course in Ayurvedic cosmetology – bit different from my main field but still connects to healing. I use prakriti-based skincare plans, herbal masks, oils, internal detox where needed, for things like acne, pigmentation, early aging or hair/scalp troubles. Whether I’m treating mental health, addiction or skin issues, I stick to root-cause care. I like to think of my clinic space as somewhere patients can speak openly, not feel rushed, and walk out with a plan that feels right for them.

I am a Ayurvedic physcian with an M.D. in Kayachikitsa from Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Jamnagar – that place is kinda like the top league when it comes to Ayurvedic education. My time there was more than just classes n exams, it was hands-on, real patients, long case discussions and digging deep into evidence-based healing. I somehow ended up 2nd rank in my PG specialization, which honestly felt surreal. During those years I also presented 8 papers in various academic platforms and won best paper awards twice – those moments really pushed me to keep refining my work. Before that, during BAMS, I won the Gold Medal in Panchakarma, which is still one of my fav areas. Detoxification, rejuvenation, Rasayana chikitsa – those therapies aren’t just about clearing toxins, they reset the body in ways modern meds can’t fully mimic. I manage chronic & lifestyle-related disorders – diabetes, hypertension, joint issues, skin problems – with a mix of classical Ayurvedic principles and practical, patient-focused care. My style? I start with deep diagnosis, dosha-prakriti mapping, looking beyond the obvious. Internal medicines, external therapies, diet tweaks – all chosen to fit the patient, not just the disease. I try to keep my practice ethical, clear, not selling false hopes but building a plan they can actually follow. Blending traditional wisdom with clinical precision sounds big, but in real life it’s just about listening to the patient, understanding what’s off-balance, and working step-by-step. And yeah, there’s still so much to learn each day – Ayurveda is huge, and every case adds a new layer to what I thought I already knew.

I am an Ayurvedic physician trained at VPSV Ayurveda College, Kottakkal where I did my BAMS, pretty much living in an enviroment that breath Ayurveda every day. My first proper step into practice was an 11-month internship right there itself, working in both OP and IP wards. I was shadowing seniors, but also doing a lot myself—checking patients, filling treatment charts, giving herbal meds, even jumping in on panchakarma preps when needed. Those daily ward rounds and case discussions, they sharpened how I look at a case, not just by symptoms but the whole picture. After that, I spent a month at the Govt Ayurveda Dispensary in Kadukutty, Thrissur. Smaller place but so much to learn… primary care, health camps, awareness drives, managing without the fancy set up. It gave me a diff perspective on how Ayurveda works at community level. Now I’m working as an Ayurvedic medical officer at a Govt Dispensary. My days are a mix of consults, prescribing, Panchakarma interventions, keeping records (yes that part never ends), and explaining to people how to fit Ayurvedic habits into daily life without making it feel impossible. On the side, I also run private consultations from home, which lets me design more detailed plans for each patient’s prakriti, condition, and lifestyle. Over time, I got better at balancing the classical side of Ayurveda with the practical side of healthcare delivery—diagnosing right, keeping good notes, and making treatments doable. My focus is still the same: making Ayurveda accessible, evidence-based and personal enough that it feels like it belongs to the patient, not just on a prescription pad.

I am an Ayurvedic physician who really try to look at health as more than just fixing a problem and sending someone away.. I like to see the whole picture—body, mind, even the little day to day habits that shape a person’s well-being. My work follows classical Ayurveda pretty closely, but I also make sure the advice is something a patient can actually follow in real life, not just in theory. I focus on getting to the root of illness rather than just pressing down the symptoms, and that means a lot of attention to prakriti, diet, lifestyle, and sometimes those small hidden triggers people don’t even notice. I’ve worked in a bunch of different setups—big established Ayurvedic hospitals, smaller clinics, even local dispensaries where you meet people with very limited access to care. Those places taught me to be flexible in treatment planning, sometimes using Panchakarma, other times just simple herbal meds and diet tweaks. I handle digestive issues, joint pain, stress-related disorders, metabolic imbalances, preventive care... and honestly I enjoy switching between acute cases that need quick attention and long-term ones where you watch slow steady recovery. I also spend time with patient education—whether in community health programs or one-on-one—because when someone really understands their condition, they stick with the plan better. My approach is kind of a mix of being attentive and direct, but also practical. I’ll adjust things if I see they’re not working, no ego about it. Learning never stops in this field, so I keep working on improving my diagnostic skills, deepening my knowledge of therapies, and fine-tuning the way I communicate treatments. At the end, my goal is simple: help people find a balance they can keep, not just for a week or two, but in a way that becomes part of how they live.

I am working as the Chief Consulting Physician at Fragrant Nature Resort, where I kind of sit in the middle of this unique mix—classical Ayurveda meeting the whole luxury wellness vibe. My day can be anything from designing Panchakarma detox plans for someone who’s been dealing with fatigue for years, to just helping a guest figure out a lighter diet that won’t upset their digestion during travel. We create protocols that aren’t just copy-paste, they’re matched to a person’s prakriti, their habits, even small things like what climate they’re used to. Here the setting actually changes how I work—when you’re surrounded by calm water, green space, and quiet, the approach to chronic illness, stress relief or rejuvenation feels more… layered, more personal. I use a mix of herbal formulations, diet tweaks, yoga, guided breathing, and when needed, deeper therapies like Ksharasutra or full Panchakarma. The aim’s not quick-fix but a kind of reset for the body & mind, and hopefully a way to avoid slipping back into the same patterns. I focus a lot on stress-linked problems, metabolic stuff like thyroid or diabates, women’s health issues such as PCOD, and digestive imbalances. Diagnosis for me isn’t rushing through a checklist—it’s piecing together symptoms, lifestyle, pulse findings, even subtle things the patient didn’t think matter. Sometimes the answer is as much about removing a cause as adding a treatment. Working with guests from so many countries has made me re-think how Ayurveda can be adapted without losing its roots. You learn to explain a shodhana therapy to someone new to Ayurveda, or how to weave prevention into a holiday experience without making it feel like “treatment.” For me, that’s the real bridge—keeping the science, keeping the tradition, but making it live in today’s world.

I am an Ayurvedic surgeon with more than 16 years in Shalya Tantra, the surgical part of Ayurveda.. sometimes I still remember my first few cases, the nervousness, checking my notes twice before doing even a simple Ksharasutra application. Now that’s second nature, but the respect for the process never goes away. My work mainly revolve around managing anorectal disorders—piles, fissure-in-ano, fistula, pilonidal sinus—and chronic stuff like varicose veins or wounds that just won’t heal. I use classical methods like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, Raktamokshana, adapting them to each patient rather than just following a fixed pattern. I like that these are minimally invasive but still deeply effective when done right. Teaching is another part of my life—I’ve spent years with undergrad and postgrad students, showing them not only how to do a procedure but why it matters to keep the tradition intact while staying scientific. Patient care for me isn’t ticking off symptoms on a list. I look at prakriti, diet, lifestyle, the smaller habits that may not seem related but can decide how fast someone recovers or if the problem will come back again. Sometimes it’s a mix of surgery and lifestyle correction that works best. My aim has always been to keep Shalya Tantra alive in a way that makes sense for today’s world—bridging ancient knowledge with present-day challenges without losing authenticity. Safe, effective, and practical.. that’s what I go for every time.

I am working as a consultant cosmetologist for about a year now, and my focus stays on skin and hair care that’s not just surface-level but rooted in ayurveda and balanced with modern cosmetology tools. I dont believe in just fixing what you see in mirror, I try to understand the skin type, prakruti, and the small imbalances that sometimes go unnoticed but cause bigger troubles later. My cases range from stubborn acne, hyperpigmentation, dull skin, hair fall to early signs of aging and scalp flakiness. For each I design plans that could include herbal preps, external therapies, simple skincare routines that suit their lifestyle.. and avoid harsh stuff that can damage in long run. Many times I see people change just by following daily habits I suggest—diet tweaks, stress handling, seasonal care—it really makes difference. I also work a lot with chronic skin troubles where aesthetic meets therapy, because clear healthy skin is more than just a look. My aim? help people feel confident in their own skin, literally, by using an ethical approach that blends the old wisdom with evidence based methods.
