I am Dr. Bhavana S. Gaitonde, and I hold a postgraduate degree in Dravyaguna Vignana from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research, Bengaluru. My academic training and clinical exposure have deeply rooted my understanding of Ayurvedic pharmacology, allowing me to apply the healing power of medicinal herbs in a precise, evidence-based, and individualized manner. Dravyaguna Vignana, the study of medicinal plants and their therapeutic actions, forms the backbone of my practice. I specialize in selecting and formulating herbal treatments based on the patient’s prakriti (constitution), doshic imbalance, and disease stage. My focus lies in offering safe, effective, and sustainable solutions using herbs, formulations, and dietary protocols that align with classical Ayurvedic texts as well as modern clinical requirements. Having studied in a reputed institution that emphasizes both theoretical depth and practical relevance, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with classical formulations, raw herbs, and contemporary research in plant-based medicine. This has not only sharpened my diagnostic skills but also empowered me to design treatment protocols that maximize therapeutic outcomes with minimal side effects. I am particularly passionate about educating patients on the medicinal value of Ayurvedic herbs and the importance of conscious living. Whether it's managing chronic conditions, supporting recovery, or promoting preventive health, I strive to make Ayurveda approachable, practical, and impactful in everyday life. My practice combines compassion with clinical precision, and I am committed to staying updated through continued learning, research engagement, and participation in professional forums. Through my work, I aim to bridge the gap between ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and the modern need for holistic, plant-based healing.
