Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 45

I am practicing Ayurveda and modern medicine both since around 2.5 years now. Started out after graduation with some basic OPD postings and slowly found myself more drawn toward treating chronic, everyday conditions that honestly a lot of people don’t take seriously till they get worse — like diabetes, high BP, high cholesterol, sluggish liver, stuff like that. It’s everywhere. And I realised it’s not just about giving medicine, right? People need someone to actually listen to what’s going on with them — like how long they been feeling low energy, or weird bloating after meals, or just not sleeping right. Sometimes that tells you more than a test report. During my time working as a medical officer at Livasa Hospital (Ambani Group), I handled a lot of mixed cases — we’re talking lifestyle disorders mostly. Like you'd see back-to-back patients with Type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or hypertension and each one had a different story behind it. That’s where the Ayurvedic part helped me a lot. I would start noticing the prakriti types, digestion patterns, stress habits etc... and that started shaping how I approached treatment. Not just “take this tablet twice a day,” but like — how’s your routine? What’s your eating timing? How much water are you actually drinking?? It became more personal, not just protocol. Also I kind of got used to balancing both sides — I mean ayurvedic rasayanas and lifestyle herbs where they fit, but also statins or metformin if someone clearly needed that too. No point pretending one system solves everything. I’m not saying I have all the answers, sometimes I still have to step back and rethink my plan. But overall, I try to be thorough. And I really value patient feedback — like when someone says their energy is finally better, or their BP’s coming down without side effects, or they’re actually enjoying food again after months. That means a lot. I’m still learning. And that’s fine. Because I think good medicine isn’t perfect anyway. It’s just — real, consistent care.

I am an Ayurvedic consultant practicing in Pune for a little over three years now, and honestly those years taught me more than I ever thought at the start. My focus is always on authentic, classical Ayurveda – not just using a generic remedy but working out what the patient’s prakruti and vikruti actually is, and then building something that fits them. Most days I deal with people having lifestyle issues, long-standing pain, digestion that just doesn’t feel right, hormones out of balance or stress that creeps into everything else. Panchakarma is a big part of my work – not just as a detox but as a structured way to help the body reset and heal. I also use Agnikarma and Viddha Karma a fair bit, both very effective for joint pain, some skin cases and stubborn musculoskeletal problems. These para-surgical methods look simple but they require precision, and when done right, they can give relief that last months without needing heavy intervention. I always keep diet, daily routine, herbs, and sometimes yoga in the picture – because if someone goes back to the same habits that made them sick, the problem will come back no matter what. I prefer involving patients in their own care, explaining why I’m suggesting something rather than just handing a prescription. That way they feel in control, not just being “treated.” And while I stick to traditional principles, I do pay attention to clinical safety and evidence too – Ayurveda works best when we use it with both wisdom and care. My aim is simple really: to offer treatments that feel personal, make sense to the patient, and actually work in the long run, without pushing them into anything that’s not sustainable.

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 Dr. Arisha, an Ayurvedic physician with a BAMS degree and yeah, a little over 4 years of clinical experience now. Honestly, time flies when you’re constantly learning from patients, textbooks, your own mistakes... and the everyday reality of what works and what just sounds good on paper. I practice classical Ayurveda—but not in that rigid, overwhelming way people sometimes expect. I mean, what’s the point if it isn’t doable, right? Most folks come in feeling stuck. Like they’re trying all sorts of things—fad diets, supplements, routines from Instagram—and yet nothing really sticks. I try to keep it real. I look at digestion (Agni) first, because if that’s off, nothing else really flows. Then we get into the daily routine (Dinacharya), sleep habits, eating windows, stress triggers—stuff like that. Sometimes, even just tweaking when or how you eat makes a way bigger difference than adding 3 new herbs or rituals. People are often suprised by that. My consultations are more like conversations. I’m not into fancy words or long lists of rules. I ask a lot—about your Prakriti (natural state), your Vikriti (current imbalances), your job, your sleep, your cravings, what throws you off track. That helps me figure out what you really need—not just on paper but in a way that fits your life. I’ll only suggest herbal medicines if I truly feel they’re needed—and even then, only stuff that’s clean and time-tested. I get patients dealing with digestive issues, hormonal shifts, burnout, fatigue, anxiety that creeps into sleep. Sometimes people don’t even know what exactly feels wrong—they just feel off. And that’s valid. We start from there. Not trying to ‘fix’ everything overnight, but slowly building balance back. It’s about healing, not managing. Over the years I’ve helped folks regulate cycles, reduce bloating, sleep deeper, even just feel like their mind and body aren’t fighting each other anymore. And I really think that’s what Ayurveda is—bringing you back to your baseline, your center, without all the noise. No crash plans, no one-size-fits-all. Just slow, clear, practical steps. If you're tired of complicated protocols or getting lost in conflicting advice—maybe Ayurveda, done simply and mindfully, could actually help. I'm here if that feels like something you’re ready for.

I am someone who still carries a deep imprint of my time as a CRAV physician at Arya Vaidya Pharmacy, Coimbatore—it was just one year, yeah, but what a year. I got to work directly under Padma Shri Dr. P. R. Krishnakumar ji, and honestly that changed a lot for me in how I saw clinical Ayurveda. It wasn’t just theory, it was living the granthas. We weren’t just discussing doshas—we were seeing them unfold in real-time across patients, case after case. I was involved in integrative discussions where senior Vaidyas would challenge you to think not just prescribe. We had chronic cases like autoimmune flareups, degenerative joint pain, weird metabolic clusters, stress-based gut issues—you name it. And rather than slotting patients into protocols, the emphasis was always on Rog-Rogi Pariksha, which made me slow down, look deeper. There were days where I’d be assisting on full-fledged Panchakarma routines—Vamana, Basti, Nasya—then sitting post-lunch for research interpretation or refining case notes. I didn’t just learn Rasayana therapies, I saw what they could do when timed right and tailored well. Things like how Dashamoola can work very differently depending on how you prep the gut first. That kinda stuff sticks. Documentation and follow-up were given as much value as the prescription slip, which honestly makes all the diference in long-term recovery. Counseling wasn't some optional add-on, it was a core skill—how do you convince someone to shift lifelong habits without sounding preachy? I learnt that here. That phase pushed me to trust the classics more, but also to be real about modern patient needs. Safety, sustainability, clarity—all these became part of how I practiced. Today, in my own clinic, I still draw from that training. Whether it’s designing a detox plan, adjusting meds for a thyroid patient, or counseling a stressed-out urban teen with gut issues—I go back to those roots often. Not to replicate—but to adapt, with sincerity.

I specialise in the Ayurvedic management of lifestyle disorders and hair health, combining classical principles with a modern, patient-focused approach. Lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, thyroid imbalances, and PCOS are increasingly common due to sedentary living, poor dietary habits, and chronic stress. My work focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of these conditions through personalised, constitution-based care. By understanding an individual’s prakriti (constitution) and dosha imbalances, I aim to restore harmony in body, mind, and spirit, promoting sustainable wellness rather than temporary relief. Alongside lifestyle disorders, I have a special focus on hair health, recognising that concerns like hair fall, premature greying, and lack of vitality often reflect deeper systemic imbalances. Ayurveda views hair as an indicator of overall health, making it an essential part of holistic well-being. My approach emphasises strengthening the body from within, improving digestion, balancing hormones, and supporting mental calmness, which naturally enhances hair health. I believe in empowering individuals with knowledge and practical lifestyle changes that align with Ayurvedic principles. My goal is to help people not only recover from existing issues but also build resilience for the future, embracing Ayurveda as a way of life for lasting health and natural vitality.

I am working in this field from 3 years now, and honestly it doesn’t feel like just a number—each year kinda brought different layers to how i approach patients, cases and even the day-to-day clinic chaos. First year was like... more about figuring out how to link textbook stuff to real-world symptoms, sometimes missing a connection but slowly getting better. By the second year, I felt more grounded—especially while handling chronic cases like PCOS, obesity, thyroid imbalance, where listening becomes half the treatment. I started experimenting more with diet planning n prakriti-based routines, trying to not just give a script but something the patient could actually follow, like... practically. I’ve also got decent grip now in Panchkarma procedures—virechan, basti, nasya, and stuff like raktamokshan—which I used to be nervous about in the begining tbh. But over time, the hands got steady n more confident. And somewhere in this journey I realised managing gut health was like this silent gamechanger?? whether it’s stress, hormone stuff, even skin issues—if digestion's off, the rest don’t settle right. That led me into deeper focus on agni management and rasayan therapies too. I did fumble early on, I remember forgetting sequence during leech application once (embarrasing but learned well). Now it's more instinctive. I also try mixing traditional methods with a modern understanding whenever needed—not in a forced way but only where it adds value. Marma therapy and kriya kalpa (like tarpana etc.) are things I also kept exploring along the side...still learning but I do apply them where apt. What I feel now after these 3 year is that clarity don’t come in one go—it kinda builds. You mess up, retry, and get sharp. That’s how I treat too—personalised, not textbook-perfect but practical, compassionate and slightly messy like real healing usually is.

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.

I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 4 and half years in clinical work, mostly in Kayachikitsa – which is like the general medicine side of Ayurveda, but with a lot of depth when you actually start applying it. My main focus is on lifestyle disorders that keep showing up in this generation – things like metabolic imbalance, stress-related problems, mental health dips, digestive & gut issues, and skin conditions that just don’t clear fully with temporary fixes. I completed my B.A.M.S from Alva’s Ayurveda Medical College, Moodbidri, and then my M.D in Kayachikitsa from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research, Bengaluru, under RGUHS. Along the way, I also picked up certifications in Panchakarma and in Diet & Diabetes programs – cause I’ve seen how much diet and detox work hand in hand with medicine in real life cases. In my practice, I try to keep things personal. Yes, there are protocols in Ayurveda, but no two patients come with the exact same background, prakriti or daily stress pattern. Some need more cleansing, some need building, others just need small steady corrections. I follow proper Ayurvedic medical guidelines but also make sure the plan feels doable for the person – no point in writing something perfect on paper if it never fits their actual life. I’m really passionate about making effective, personalised healthcare accessible, not just for those already deep into Ayurveda but for anyone who’s open to real healing beyond symptom control. To me, holistic healing means we’re looking at the long term – preventing relapse, keeping the system strong, and making sure the mind and body aren’t working against each other. Whether it’s someone walking in with years of acidity, stubborn skin flare-ups, chronic fatigue, or stress that spills into their sleep, my aim is to guide them in a way that’s practical yet fully rooted in Ayurveda’s wisdom. Sometimes the changes are quick, other times slow – but when it works, it really lasts.

I am a medical professional who started out with hands-on practice at Chirantana Clinic in Sullia. That place gave me the kind of exposure you don’t really get in textbooks—you meet patients every day with different backgrounds, diff needs, sometimes even limited access to care, and you just have to adapt. At Chirantana, I was mainly working in primary care & preventive health, which meant long convos with patients, follow-ups, keeping track of their lifestyle patterns. It taught me that real healthcare isn’t just about prescribing a pill, it’s about listening, explaining, and helping someone understand their own body. Some days were hectic, but honestly those direct interactions shaped my approach to holistic treatment in ways that still guide me now. Later, at Rathnagarbha Multi-Speciality Hospital in Raichur, the whole environment changed. Suddenly I was in a much larger setup, dealing with complex cases, acute conditions, and working alongside specialists from diff departments. That shift helped me improve in collaboration—like discussing patient cases with senior consultants, planning management strategies that balanced Ayurvedic principles with modern diagnostics. I saw both chronic disorders like diabetes, arthritis, skin issues & also acute concerns, and had to adapt fast. Honestly, sometimes I felt stretched, but it made my diagnostic skills sharper and pushed me to think clearer under pressure. My style of practice now is simple—I like to keep things transparent. I want patients to know why a treatment is given, what changes they might notice, and what role lifestyle or diet plays in their recovery. I believe that when a patient understands their health condition better, outcomes improve. I try to keep evidence-based decision making at the center but also never ignore the person’s unique context. Whether I’m in a rural setting or a multi-speciality hospital, that balance between clarity, empathy & practical care is what I stick to. Over time, I’ve realized healthcare isn’t just about treating disease—it’s about continuity. Following up, building trust, making sure someone feels comfortable enough to share even small worries. That’s something I carry forward from both clinics. I’m still learning, still updating myself with current guidelines, but what keeps me going is the belief that patient care should feel personal, ethical & effective—even if the case is complicated.
