YMT Ayurvedic Medical College, Navi Mumbai. |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am an Ayurvedic doctor with an M.D. from Mumbai and honestly most of my work now revolves around digging deep into digestion and hormonal stuff that just doesn't seem to settle down for people. I mostly treat things like gas, acidity, constipation, IBS—stuff that really disturbs ppl everyday life but doesn’t always show up clearly on tests. And then there’s hormonal and reproductive issues—irregular periods, fertility struggles, mood shifts around cycle—those also need way more attention than they usually get.
My approach is more about understanding what’s behind the imbalance—like okay, yes there’s eczema, but what’s your gut saying? Or joint pain... but is there chronic ama? vata aggravation? All these things are linked. I work with arthritis cases, lower back pain, and skin stuff like psoriasis, by using personalized, prakruti-based plans—herbs, diet shifts, and treatments like abhyanga or virechana if needed.
Not every case is straight-forward, some ppl come in with “nothing’s worked yet” energy, and I get that. That's where classical tools—nadi pariksha, agni assessment, etc—really help me figure things out with more clarity. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda always leaned toward the formulation side of Ayurveda, and yeah during my academic years I secured 1st rank in Rasashastra. That whole phase really sharpened my skills around herbo-mineral preps—like how to actually make them safe, effective n' align them with what a patient really needs. I got super detail-focused during that time, esp with bhasma standards n' rasa yogas. Even now I think that clarity helps me dose n' apply them more confidently in real cases. |
I am Dr. Hemal Shah, an Ayurvedic physician with an M.D. in Ayurveda, trained in Mumbai and working full-time with people who are honestly just tired of temporary fixes. I’ve spent over 6 years in focused clinical practice—most of it rooted in Panchakarma and deep classical healing work. My main areas include digestive issues (Ajirna, Agnimandya, IBS etc.), skin stuff like psoriasis and eczema, infertility cases, and joint-muscle complaints that just keep flaring up for no reason (or at least that's how ppl feel). I mostly approach things from the basics—prakruti, agni, ama, samprapti—because unless we figure that internal terrain, nothing really holds up long-term. Every case starts with listening. Not just to symptoms, but lifestyle, sleep, stress patterns, subtle emotional cues. Then I combine what’s needed: customized detox via Panchakarma, herbs (not always dozens—just the right few), simple diet tweaks that don’t overwhelm, and corrections in routine that actually fit into the patient’s day. I’m not into “one-size-fits-all" therapies. I’ve seen how healing changes when plans match the person’s nature, pace, and real-life limitations. I work a lot with hormonal issues—irregular cycles, PCOS, unexplained infertility—and I’ve learned that many times, calming the system down is the first real step. Same goes with skin—the flare ups are usually telling us something’s off inside. I don’t rush that part. At the same time, I’ve done clinical research on depression too. That showed me how Ayurveda’s mind-body approach—sattvic food, medhya rasayanas, grounding routines, and even small rituals—can shift mental health in a way that’s both subtle n’ powerful. It made me more attentive to how emotional patterns show up in physical symptoms... and vice-versa. Honestly, what I’m trying to do is keep Ayurveda real. Not textbook Ayurveda, but the living kind—the one that adjusts, listens, and evolves with each person. I want my patients to feel they have agency again, that their health is something they can actively shape, not just manage with pills or patchwork. Whether it’s a chronic issue or just this sense of “not feeling right,” I try to be there and offer something that lasts beyond the clinic table.
