Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 43

I am an ayurvedic consultant who really likes going deep into how food, mind, body all connect.. and i try to bring that into every plan i make. My work starts with understanding a person’s prakruti, agni, the doshas acting up, even small lifestyle things that people don’t think matter but they do. I dont just see a symptom and give a herb, I try to look for what’s actually causing it, which takes more time but makes better sense in long term. My main focus is on ayurvedic nutrition, because honestly digestion & food choices play such a huge role in healing. I work with seasonal diets, mindful eating tips, and simple swaps that fit into daily life without making someone feel like they’re on a strict program. A lot of my patients come with chronic digestion issues, metabolic problems, or just low energy — and most of the time changing how and what they eat makes a big difference. Along with that, I am also into yoga therapy. I plan asana, pranayama, meditation based on the patient’s age, condition, even their mental state that day. It’s not about pushing people into hard poses, it’s about balance & making it work for the body they have right now. This helps with flexibility, calming the mind, and supporting recovery from things like stress disorders, hormonal shifts, or long standing pain. My approach is a bit practical, bit traditional… I do follow classical Ayurveda texts, but I also keep it real for modern routines. I like giving people tools like dinacharya routines, small diet habits, easy yoga practices — so they don’t just depend on me but start to manage their own health. Whether someone is dealing with stress, PCOD, thyroid, or just wants preventive care, I try to guide them toward balance & harmony through Ayurveda + yoga in a way they can actually stick with.

I am working mostly in Stree Roga & Prasuti Tantra, kind of living in that space where Ayurveda meets women’s health every single day. PCOD, weird cycle issues, infertility, leucorrhea, menopause – all of that comes through my door. I use Rasayana, Vajikarana, Panchakarma… not randomly, but after checking dosha, agni, all those root causes that texts keep reminding us about. Garbhini & Sutika Paricharya is close to me, I follow it trimester-wise, post-delivery too, like the old acharyas wrote. Hands-on stuff like Yoniprakshalana, Uttarabasti, Yoni Pichu, Matrabasti are routine for me now, and yes, I’ve seen them work even in those stubborn infertility cases when people almost give up. I mix it with counselling, ovulation tracking, because science + tradition makes sense. I also run into Sandhigata Vata, arthritis, back pain types… here Nadi Pariksha & Marma Chikitsa help me figure the pattern, then Abhyanga, Kizhi, Basti, Lepana. Skin stuff like eczema, psoriasis, acne – that’s Kushtha Chikitsa zone, where I go for internal herbs, Raktamokshana, lepa. And lifestyle disorders? big list – obesity, prameha, BP, thyroid, digestion mess – handled with Ahara-Vihara, yoga, dinacharya tweaks. Outside clinic, I do health camps, women’s wellness talks, menstrual hygiene sessions… because sometimes awareness is the first real treatment. My aim stays same – patient first, root cause first.

I am an Ayurvedic physcian with my BAMS from Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University… honestly one of the toughest yet most shaping phases of my life. Later I went through CRAV training in Delhi, which isn’t just some classroom course—it’s more like living Ayurveda day to day with a mentor, in the old gurukula way. That experience still shapes how I look at a patient’s condition, not just as symptoms but as a story with a cause and a path. Alongside that, I did a Diploma in Yoga because I kept seeing how breath work, asanas, even a few mins of meditation could make a treatment stick better. Especially in chronic back issues, lifestyle disorders, anxiety type problems… yoga fits in so naturally with herbs & Panchakarma that I can’t imagine working without it. Also have an MD in Alternative Medicine (MD-AM), which basically opened my eyes more to integrated healing—not to replace Ayurveda but to strengthen it with safe complementary approaches. Most of my focus is on chronic diseases, autoimmune flare ups, metabolic mess ups, women’s health troubles, and those stress-linked problems that somehow touch every system in the body. I don’t do one-size-fits-all… the prakriti, the dosha, the root cause—these guide what I suggest, whether it’s diet shifts, herbal combos, or a deep detox plan. At the end, I want my patients to walk away not just feeling “treated” but knowing how to keep their health from sliding back again… and yes, that means lots of follow-ups, tweaks, sometimes starting over, but that’s how Ayurveda really works.

I am Dr Arpit Walia (B.A.M.S., M.D.) working mostly in Ayurvedic dermatology, tho my path in this field is not just about treating rashes or patches on skin... it’s more about reading the story each lesion is telling. I spend time with visual examination, but also go deeper with Dosha Pradhanyata to figure what’s really driving the problem under the surface. That mix lets me get diagnosis that’s not just name of disease but a map to fix it. I use Agada Tantra (Ayurvedic toxicology) along with kaya chikitsa concepts to make plans that detox the body, balance doshas, and help the skin tissue heal back stronger. It’s not about chasing symptoms, cause they come back if the root is ignored. I’ve worked a lot with stubborn chronic wounds—like varicose ulcers or diabetic foot—where modern methods sometimes slow down or stall. In those, lepa (herbal paste), traditional wound care steps and internal detox all go together. Sometimes results take patience. Healing skin, esp chronic conditions, means adjusting lifestyle, food, and daily habits. I help patients with diet charts that actually fit into their routine (no point making plans no one can follow) plus herbs matched to their prakriti. And yes, follow-ups matter—I keep a track and guide so patients can see their own progress. My aim is simple but layered—bridge the classical Ayurvedic dermatology with practical integrative health so that results are safe, effective, and sustainable. Still learning each day, still testing ways to refine protocols, but always keeping the patient in center of it.

I am working as a General Physician for over 25 years now, which feels like more than just a career—it’s been my everyday life. I’ve seen the whole range, from sudden high fevers in kids to those stubborn chronic illnesses that just don’t go away easy. My base is always accurate diagnosis first, coz without that the rest doesn’t hold. Then comes planning treatment that’s not just quick fixes but keeps a patient well in the long run. Preventive care matters too… sometimes stopping a problem before it starts is the real win. About 7 years ago, I started focusing a lot more on pain management. Chronic and acute—both have their own challenges. I deal with musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, post-surgical pain. In some cases it’s about easing nerve irritation, in others it’s restoring mobility without pushing the body too hard. I mix conventional medicine with advanced pain-relief methods, aiming for solutions that are targeted and minimally invasive, but also something patients can sustain without feeling dependent. Pain is tricky—it’s not only what you see on scans. It eats into energy, mood, even relationships sometimes. That’s why I try to build a care plan that sees the whole picture: physical health, emotional well-being, lifestyle habits, even the little things that give comfort day-to-day. We set functional goals together—some small, some bigger—and work step-by-step. I keep my approach ethical, transparent, and human. Not every case will get a fast result, but the aim is always to restore health, comfort, and a patient’s trust in their own body again. At the end of the day, it’s about them being able to live—not just cope.

I am Dr. Pooja Verma and I mostly work with chronic disease cases—long-term, stubborn stuff that doesn’t go away easy. Like cancer support, infertility issues, and weird recurring skin problems that just don’t respond well to typical treatments. I don’t look at illness like a checklist of symptoms though... I try to see what’s actually underneath all of that, like what's pushing the body outta sync or draining the system quietly over time. Ayurveda gives a very different lens for that. I always start with prakriti—understanding what type of body-mind the person has—and then try mapping out the doshic imbalances, the weak links, the things they've tried n maybe ignored. My treatments usually involve authentic classical medicines, a bit of detox when needed (Panchakarma does help in a lot of stubborn layers), rasayana or deep rejuvenation where the body needs nourishment, and then daily routine fixes... diet, sleep, mental chatter—all of that. Sometimes it's small shifts that bring change, not just big herbs or strong meds. When it comes to infertility, I look at hormone rhythms, uterine tone, agni, stress overload—most ppl are doing too much n sleeping too little!! My plan usually combines garbhasthapaka herbs, tonics for apana vata, mild virechana if needed, and calming therapies. And we track ovulation patterns closely, that helps. Skin diseases? they're tricky coz they look external but usually come from inside—blood heat, liver load, faulty gut, even unresolved emotions sometimes. I work with both internal meds n external lepas, with heavy focus on pathya... no shortcuts there. I really value talking to my patients like real people. Many come in exhausted not just by the disease but by how little they’re heard. I try to walk with them, not just instruct, and that often makes a big difference. You can’t rush Ayurvedic healing anyway—it builds slowly, but when it works, it really feels like balance again.

I am someone who got a solid start during my internship days, which I did across two places—Govt District Hospital in Haridwar & the Ayurvedic PHC at Jollygrant, Rishikesh. Both kinda shaped how I see clinical work now. At Haridwar hosp I got to work closely in both OPD n IPD setups. Lot of exposure to everything—like acute fevers, respiratory flareups, diabetes cases, piles, even emergencies sometimes. That was intense but also gave me real-time grip on case taking, quick decision-making, and staying grounded while following Ayurvedic logic. In contrast, the Jollygrant PHC was way more rooted—small setup, but deeply connected with the community. That’s where I learnt to value the real strength of Ayurveda in primary care. From making herbal preps by hand, doing daily abhyangas, helping with bastis, to teaching women about prenatal care in local camps—it was kinda all in one. Also got involved in panchakarma sessions and seasonal preventive routines for patients, which not only helped with recovery but boosted their trust in Ayurveda as a first line of care. Both places had totally different rhythm. One gave me scale, other gave me depth. I guess what stuck with me was how classical Ayurveda could still be applied so practically—no fancy setups, just understanding the doshas right, balancing properly, and listening. These internships weren’t just about getting credit—they really laid the foundation of my clinical lens today. Whether it’s chronic pain or digestive issues or someone just burnt out—I still think back to those days when I’m building treatment plans now. And I try to keep it as human n honest as those settings were. That’s still the baseline for how I work.

I am working in Ayurveda and Panchakarma therapy for around two years now, and honestly, I still feel like I’m learning new stuff every single day. My approach is pretty straightforward—listen first, figure out where the body and mind are getting thrown off track, and then build something that actually fits the person sitting in front of me. I mostly go by the classics... prakriti, doshas, lifestyle mess-ups, past illness patterns—those are what help me shape a plan that makes sense. I’ve handled all sorts of things—joint pain, stress headaches that never show up on tests, digestion that’s off even when reports say “normal”, PCOD stuff, skin allergies that keep coming back. Ayurveda doesn’t look at these things in pieces, which I appreciate. There’s a whole rhythm to the body, and once that’s disturbed, symptoms just kinda pile on in different ways. I try not to rush treatment—it's more about tuning that rhythm back. Panchakarma’s a big part of what I do. Like Abhyanga, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, Shirodhara—all those therapies that sound heavy but really they’re gentle if done right. I’ve seen huge shifts in people post detox, even if their main issue was anxiety or hormonal imbalance and not gut-related. We underestimate how much internal clutter we carry honestly. Education’s another big thing I push for. Ritucharya, Dinacharya, simple food habits—if people get those right, half of the work is already done. And no, I don’t mean changing everything overnight... sometimes just sleeping on time or eating without distraction makes the biggest differance. The way I see it, I’m not “fixing” patients—they’re doing the real work. I’m just walking with them, maybe holding the torch for a bit till they get their own back on. Healing’s slow, messy sometimes, but also really powerful if you let it be. I just want Ayurveda to feel like something you can live with, not be afraid of.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with just over five years now in clinical practice—feels like a lot more somedays when I think about the range of cases I’ve seen. From stubborn digestive troubles to recurring skin flares or things like stress insomnia and PCOD... you kind of start seeing patterns but also realizing no two patients are ever the same. That’s where the individualized part kicks in. I usually spend time trying to understand the whole picture—prakriti, daily habits, how they eat, think, what’s bothering them emotionally (even if they don’t say it at first). I work a lot with lifestyle disorders—obesity, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, acidity, eczema, joint issues. Chronic things mostly. And it’s not like one magic herb or panchakarma can solve all. It takes a mix—Ayurvedic medicines, detox when needed, rasayana if the body’s too depleted, but also small shifts—like food timings, how someone breathes or sleeps. That’s where you start seeing real shifts. My training’s rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts, but I also like keeping things practical. If a patient’s not going to cook elaborate meals or follow rigid routines, no point prescribing them right? I try making it all work around their life, not against it. Most people just want to feel better without side effects, without pills piling up. And yeah, I focus a lot on gut health + immunity too—feels like half the issues begin there anyway. There’ve been tough days of course—like when nothing seems to click or someone’s body doesn’t respond right away—but that’s where patience and tracking helps. Over time, the results do come. I think what patients appreciate is that they’re heard. That matters. Whether I’m helping someone detox, manage diabetes, or just get their cycle back on track, my aim is to keep it all grounded in real Ayurveda—not diluted shortcuts. And maybe bring in that small shift that stays for good, not just for a week

I am Dr. Bhavana S. Gaitonde, and my core training is in Dravyaguna Vignana, which I studied postgrad from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research in Bengaluru. That phase was intense but grounding... learning the actual behavior of herbs, their rasa, virya, vipaka, and how they shift when processed differently—it completely changed how I looked at treatment. This field—Ayurvedic pharmacology—isn’t just about matching herb to disease. It’s about tuning the medicine to the patient’s prakriti, current doshic state, and where they are in their healing curve. I’m mostly drawn to chronic cases where long-term plant-based support can make a real difference—people dealing with inflammation, gut issues, immunity lows, skin conditions, even mental fog—stuff that often goes ignored or masked with quick fixes. I try to make my plans gentle but effective, working with both classical formulations and raw herbs if needed. But I always check whether it aligns with patient’s agni, season, and life context. That matters more than the textbook. My education was grounded in theory but also lot of clinical exposure—we actually handled raw herbs in class and discussed latest plant research in real time. That mix helped me feel confident not only in traditional texts but also in how those herbs behave in today's world, with modern diseases and lifestyles. One part I enjoy (maybe even more than expected?) is explaining herbs to patients. Like, not just “take this powder,” but here’s why it’s helpful. I believe healing’s stronger when ppl understand what they’re taking into their body. I also guide on pathya–apathya (diet & lifestyle rules), daily routine tweaks, and sometimes subtle things like how to time their medicines with meals or sleep. I'm always learning—going through new journals, staying active in forums, sometimes even just observing patient responses and making notes for next time. The goal for me isn’t just to fix disease, but to help ppl see herbs and routines as tools they can trust, not fear or ignore. Ayurveda has huge depth, and I just try to make it usable without losing the core.
