Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 42

I am working as a Consultant Doctor at Sharmayu Ayurveda Pharmacy, where my daily work is a mix of patient care, case analysis and giving therapeutic inputs on medicine usage. It’s an interesting balance, because I get to sit with patients, understand their prakriti and disease samprapti in detail, then also discuss with the pharmacy side about formulations, dose adjustments and dravya guna suitability. That crossover really taught me how small changes in combinations or dosage can change outcome a lot. When I see patients, I don’t only focus on their immediate problem but try to read the whole picture — dosha imbalance, srotas involvement, lifestyle triggers. Whether its digestive disorders like acidity or IBS, chronic skin diseases, hormonal issues like PCOD, musculoskeletal complaints like back pain, or even stress linked concerns, I prefer to design a root cause based plan. Many times that means mixing classical panchakarma with diet correction, or simple dinacharya and meditation, sometimes it is just about correcting food timings. One thing I strongly believe is explaining to patients why I suggest certain therapies or medicines. Once they understand the logic, compliance and trust improves. In Sharmayu setting I also stay updated on product development and new formulations which makes me more confident to choose safest and most effective options for each person. Some days the flow is overwhelming, with multiple patients plus pharmacy consultations, and yes there are mistakes or rushed notes, but overall it has given me deeper experiance in both clinical and therapeutic aspects. My goal remains simple—to offer authentic Ayurvedic care, practical guidance and sustainable healing that fits into modern life yet holds on to classical principles.

I am an MD Scholar from JSS Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital with over 3 years of real, hands-on clinical expereince. I guess what drives me most is seeing how Ayurved actually works—like, not just in theory but in real people’s lives, with their messy routines and chronic stuff no one else seems to solve. Through my academic journey here, I’ve got to work pretty deep with patients right from intake till long-term follow-ups, and honestly that shaped my whole way of thinking. In OPDs and IPDs both, I’ve dealt with conditions like PCOD, Sandhivata, IBS, even stuff like stress-linked acidity or fatigue that doesn’t get enough attn sometimes. My way of working? I lean a lot on classical diagnostic tools—Nadi, Prakriti check, Vikruti mapping. And not just the dosha talk but actual patterns in diet, sleep, behaviour that keep people stuck in illness loop. I’ve tried making my case management more layered... Not just giving a kashayam or ghee, but figuring if Panchakarma is needed, or maybe it’s just that their agni is low and nothing’s absorbing right?? Sometimes all it takes is a better dinacharya, sometimes they need a full virechana detox. You can't know until you sit and really listen. One thing I push for is patient eductaion. Not preaching but like, sharing enough so they know what’s going on in their body. Especially in metabolic or hormonal issues, when they get it, they act differently, yk? Right now I’m balancing clinical rotations, my thesis, and field camps... yeah hectic but I like that pace. Keeps me alert. My goal is to keep refining my method where classical Ayurved meets practical tools that actually help patients in today's lifestyle mess. Whether it’s sthoulya (obesity) or amavata, or just someone who feels ‘off’ but all their tests are normal—my job is to see beyond reports and reach the root. That’s what I’m training for, and what I’m here to do.

I am working in Ayurveda since like 9+ years now, and yeah—it’s been a bit of a wild mix of challenges, learnings, and some truly grounding experiences. I’ve seen over 35,000 patients by now—some come in with small things that got big over time, others walk in with real complex issues that didn’t respond to years of other care. Whether it's IPD or OPD, every case pushed me to stay sharp, not just with medicines but with how I *listen* and actually connect to what's going wrong beneath the surface. My time in inpatient care really tightened up my diagnosis skills—seeing acute and chronic flare-ups up close changes the way you plan. You gotta be precise. On the flip side, outpatient practice taught me to be patient with slow, long-term journeys... tracking tiny shifts week by week, building trust with people who’re kinda tired of the whole treatment cycle. And both these setups helped me see where classical Ayurvedic logic still totally works and where it needs gentle adjustment for today’s lifestyles. For the last 6 years, I’m also teaching Ayurvedic UG students—sounds academic, but honestly, it keeps me learning too. When I explain something like dosha theory or diagnostic tools, I’m forced to rethink *how* I use them every day. And I push them to connect the dots clinically, not just memorize texts... Ayurveda’s too alive for rote learning. My treatment plans are almost always built from scratch—there’s no copy-paste. I go deep into root-cause work, not just patching up symptoms. I use food as medicine (and sometimes even as diagnosis!), blend in herbal support, get into lifestyle rewiring where needed, and yes, Panchakarma when it's right—not just cause someone asked for it!! I also spend time walking patients through *why* we’re doing what we’re doing—it’s not just about handing over pills. At the core, whether I’m managing spondylitis or PCOS or even mentoring students, it’s about keeping Ayurveda real—rooted, but practical. Healing that makes sense, lasts longer, and doesn’t feel like a mystery to the person going through it.

I am an Ayurvedic physcian with post-grad degree in Kayachikitsa (that’s internal medicine btw) and been working hands-on in clinical setups for over 5 yrs now—since finishing my BAMS. My work mostly revolve around managing internal disorders through classical Ayurvedic approach, especially chronic stuff... like digestion gone haywire, thyroid flares, migraine-types, joint probs or even weird skin things that just don’t go. I try to really *see* the patient before labeling the condition—because most times it’s not just a gut issue or just back pain, it’s a full picture out of balance. I use a mix of classical formulations, Panchakarma where needed (some people really benefit from it), daily routine tweaks, and sometimes even just diet correction can be way more powerful than we think. I also focus a lot on listening—like not rushing ppl into protocol mode unless we figure out what’s really going on. That part matters, at least to me. I mean what’s the point of a textbook-perfect plan if the patient can’t stick to it or feel worse halfway? Right? Metabolic disorders, fatigue, anxiety-patterns, IBS, migraines, skin-autoimmune crossover... those are kinda common cases I see often. And every plan is unique—nothing cookie-cutter, coz prakriti, age, agni, it all varies wildly. I try to keep things practical, science-backed, but still rooted in the Ayurvedic view of healing—not symptom chasing but fixing from the base. Doesn’t mean ignoring modern tools either... sometimes I’ll ask for labs, scans, referrals, whatever’s needed to support clean diagnosis. If you ask what drives me, it’s honestly that moment when a person says “I feel normal again.” That’s it. That’s the goal. Healing not just the disease but the human wrapped around it. Feels right, even on the off days.

I am Dr. Bushra Akhtar, a BAMS graduate, and I like to think my journey in Ayurveda has been a blend of classroom learning, hands-on patient work, and community connect. My one-year rotatory internship gave me a solid base, but honestly, the real shaping happened when I stepped into actual field work. At Urban Health Mission, Kanpur, for 6 months, I worked right in the middle of an urban healthcare setup—diagnosing common illnesses, dealing with sanitation issues, maternal-child care, and aligning with national health programs. It wasn’t just clinic walls; I was in health awareness camps, immunization drives, and talking to people from all sorts of backgrounds. That taught me how much clear, respectful communication matters. Then came my time at SPIAMSRC Lucknow, and that’s where I went deep into departmental rotations—Kaya Chikitsa, Shalya Tantra, Shalakya Tantra, Prasuti & Striroga, Balroga, Panchakarma, Agad Tantra… the list is long. I assisted in both OPD and IPD, performed procedures like Basti, Vamana, Nasya, and various Panchakarma therapies. Being under senior Ayurvedic physicians pushed me to merge classical Ayurvedic diagnosis with modern tools—kind of a best-of-both-worlds approach. Later, my stint at Raza Hospital Baheri and running my own clinic taught me another set of lessons—managing day-to-day patient flow, making quick but accurate clinical decisions, and ensuring continuity of care. In my clinic, I’ve handled cases from chronic joint pain to digestive issues, skin problems to women’s health concerns, and every case has made me value detailed assessment over quick fixes. What I enjoy most is connecting the dots—patient history, prakriti-vikriti balance, lab results, lifestyle patterns—and then creating a plan that’s not just about medicines, but also diet, routine, and mindset. Ayurveda to me isn’t static—it’s evolving, and I keep refining my methods through workshops, CMEs, and constant observation of results in real people, not just theory.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

I am practicing only Shuddha Ayurveda—no shortcuts, no fusions, no mixing things up with modern stuff just to make it faster. From the beginning I decided I’d stick to what the classical texts say. That means when someone walks into my clinic, I’m looking at their prakriti, vikriti, samprapti—everything that actually matters to figure out why the issue is even happening. I don’t like the idea of chasing symptoms. Doesn’t work. Never lasts. Right now I’m still early in the journey tbh, but even in these initial years I’ve treated quite a few cases—things like Amlapitta, Grahani, IBS-like gut issues, migraines, anxiety, insomnia... you name it. Most of them had already tried other stuff and came to Ayurveda more like a last hope. And yeah, it’s slow sometimes—but it works when you follow it right. Shodhana helps a lot more than ppl expect. Especially when followed up properly with Rasayana, correct Ahar, simple lifestyle fixes, and herbal meds that actually suit their dosha. I usually include Ritucharya, Dinacharya and even Sadvritta if needed—not just because it’s classical, but 'cause that’s how real prevention works. Not just medicines, but the daily little things we ignore until it builds up. That’s how we land in chronic illness in the first place. I read a lot—mostly Charaka Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya... try to go back to them whenever something gets confusing or when I need grounding. There’s always something new to reflect on, no matter how many times you go through the same shloka. I don’t claim I know everything—I’m learning everyday. But I do know I won’t compromise on what Ayurveda actually is. Some ppl want quick cures, some want a pill. I can’t give that. But if someone’s ready to understand their own body, change a few things and trust the process—then yeah, we work together. And that’s where real healing starts.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor and also a certified diet & nutritonist.. kind of a mix path that made sense for me because food and Ayurveda always connect so deeply. My main work area is with diet and lifestyle disorders, weight problems, gut helth, hair care n gynecological conditions. I like to keep my approach practical but rooted in classical Ayurveda, mixing it with evidence-based nutrition where it fits better. I dont try to make “one-size plan”, rather I sit and see what the person really need in their daily routine. A lot of my focus is on weight management, whether its stubborn weight gain or loss that not sustaining. I create personalised dietary guidance, sometimes use metabolism-supporting herbs or Panchakarma detox when body feels too loaded. Many people just follow crash diets, but in Ayurveda we try to balance agni (digestion fire) first, and that makes results sustainable. I also guide patients for healthy weight gain in undernourished cases, which is another side people forget. Gut health is another big area for me—patients with bloating, acidity, chronic indigestion, IBS, constipation, all those daily disturbing issues. I use herbal formulations, gut healing remedies like takra (buttermilk based preps), plus routine corrections. Small daily changes often shift the entire digestive balance, and when gut is corrected many other systemic troubles settle too. Hair care also feels personal, maybe because so many young patients come stressed with hair fall, dandruff, scalp irritations. I support them with Ayurvedic oils, dietary corrections (iron rich, protein balance etc), and stress relief practices. It’s not only external oils, most hair issues are rooted in digestion, stress and hormonal swings. In gynecology side, I work with PCOS, irregular periods, painful cramps, hormonal imbalance. Ayurvedic detox, hormone balancing herbs like shatavari or ashoka, and clear lifestyle guidance form the base of my treatment. It requires patience but results can be very stable, without side effects. My aim stays simple: to empower people with holistic strategies, not just a prescription. Ayurveda plus proper nutrition n lifestyle change can really bring long term vitality, disease prevention and better quality of life. I see every case as unique, sometimes it feels overwhelming but in the end, tailoring the plan to the person is what makes the healing really work.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 6 months of hands-on clinical experience—not a long time on paper maybe, but in this short span I’ve already learned how much depth there is in real-world healing vs theory. I’ve worked under senior vaidyas who didn’t just teach me what to prescribe but *how to observe*—how a patient walks in, what their skin or nails show, how their nadi tells a story before they even speak. Most of my practice so far has centered around managing everyday-but-bothersome conditions—joint pain that won’t go away, hair fall ppl can't explain, acne flare-ups, basic gynaec things like delayed cycles, stress-linked PMS, etc. I always stick to proper Ayurvedic principles—like I don’t jump into meds unless I’m clear about the dosha involvement. Nadi Pariksha is a regular part of how I assess things, and depending on what I see, I’ll plan Shaman Chikitsa, simple marma support or maybe just some food/lifestyle shifts if that’s what’s actually needed. My style is not to overload ppl with long lists of churnas n lehyas. I believe even early on that good results come from *balance*—right dose, right ahar-vihar advice, maybe some gentle exercise that suits their energy. I’ve already seen how much better ppl respond when they feel heard and not just “fixed.” I’m still learning—every day, every pt. But I’m very clear that Ayurveda works best when it’s tailored properly. Even in these first few months, I’ve seen cases turn around—not magically, but steadily. That’s the part I trust most about this path. And yeah, I’m focused on getting sharper—with diagnostics, with therapy planning, and most importantly, in giving care that’s both real and reachable for whoever comes in.

I am Dr. Gayathri P.V. and I’m currently working as a Junior Consultant at Sree Ayurveda Kalari Marma Chikitsalayam in Thrissur. Most days, my focus is on bringing classical Kerala Ayurveda into actual daily healing—not just theory. I kinda grew into this space where Kalari Marma therapy and Panchakarma aren't just “treatments” but feel more like dialogues with the body... especially when dealing with chronic pains, muscle injuries, or those long-standing imbalances that keep showing up in diff forms. My roots are in the traditional Kerala school of Ayurveda, and I really try to hold onto that authenticity even when adjusting for each patient’s condition or lifestyle. Whether it's Abhyanga for stiffness, Marma for joint restoration, or Nasya for head-related complaints, I build protocols that work with the person—not just against their symptoms. And yes, I constantly refer back to Tridosha and Dhatu theory to stay aligned with the cause behind what's happening, even if sometimes the symptoms are all over the place or don’t fit textbook lines. At the clinic, I also work closely with our therapy team—many of whom are quite skilled with traditional Kalari-based recovery methods. That teamwork actually matters a lot, especially for rehab or post-trauma recovery where things don’t always go as plannd and we need to adjust mid-process. I end up spending a good amount of time tweaking herbal combinations or modifying timings based on what the patient’s prakriti is reacting to. What drives me most is making Ayurvedic care practical but still rooted. I don’t want patients to feel like Ayurveda is too complex or out of reach. The goal’s always to restore function, reduce suffering, and support the body without forcing unnatural shortcuts. Each consultation I take kinda teaches me something back too—I pay attention to that. And yes, I’m still learning, still trying to deepen my understanding... but I’m here to do it sincerely, with clarity, and with care.
