Dr. Shikhar
Experience: | 4 years |
Education: | Desh Bhagat University |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly focused on treating Vata-related disorders in Ayurveda, which, honestly, show up more than ppl realise. Like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, alopecia, even chronic skin stuff like eczema or dry scaly patches that just don't go away—those are the cases I get most often. I kinda zero in on the root cause first—usually some imbalance in Vata dosha—and then figure out herbal meds or internal therapies that suit the patient’s prakruti. It’s never just a one-size thing, trust me.
I also work with lifestyle disorders like type 2 diabates, hypertension n hypothyroid cases where modern meds help short-term, but ppl still struggle with symptoms day-to-day. That’s where Ayurveda fills the gap. I give diet plans, herbal formulas and sometimes just ask patients to slow down a bit—literally—to fix agni and reduce mental load too.
My idea of healing is long-term—not just suppressing things but actually restoring balance. Bit slower maybe, but more real. |
Achievements: | I am honestly proudest when ppl who walked in struggling with fatigue, pain or just not feeling like themselves — walk out smiling. That’s really the “achievement” if you ask me. Over time, I’ve managed to help folks with chronic joint pain, random skin flares, digestion that just refuses to co-operate, and yeah even stuff like high bp n sugar spikes. Not overnight fixes, but real shifts. Few herbal tweaks, some diet cleanups, and lot of trust-building.. That’s the actual success I count. |
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who's kind of obsessed with finding that middle ground where classical Ayurveda and today's clinical medicine don’t just coexist but actually work together. It’s not always simple—balancing protocols from two worlds—but that’s sorta where I found my flow. I started out at Symbiosis University Hospital & Research Centre as a Resident Medical Officer. That place... honestly pushed me to act fast, think clearly in emergencies and still stay grounded in care. I worked closely with modern doctors too, which wasn’t new, but the intensity of acute settings made me rethink how Ayurveda can show up even in critical moments—not just slow-paced chronic care like ppl usually assume. Later, I moved into something quite specific—hair and scalp care—while working as a Consultant Ayurvedic Physician at VHCA Hair Clinic. Sounds niche, but trust me, the cases I saw were often emotionally heavy. Hair loss isn't just cosmetic for many folks. I created treatment plans using internal herbs, external lepas, and a ton of diet n habit tuning. Not everyone liked cutting back on spicy fried food or fixing sleep patterns, but it worked when they stuck to it. At Sai Rays Foundation, I got to work at a grassroots level—helping people who often couldn’t afford fancy meds or complicated procedures. That shaped a lot of how I look at “accessibility” in wellness today. And then I joined Traya Health’s teleconsult platform, giving online consults for hair issues again, but to folks from totally diff parts of India. Kinda wild to think how much reach we get now, through just a screen. I also hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Emergency Medical Services (PGDEMS) from Pune. That helped sharpen my clinical judgement during acute cases, which oddly enough, I apply even in Ayurvedic settings—especially when someone presents with a mix of symptoms that don’t follow textbook dosha logic. And oh yeah, I did a Certificate in Ayurvedic Cosmetology & Skin Care (CAC&SC) from Gujarat—helps a lot when I’m treating skin disorders from both internal and topical angles. I’m really someone who listens—maybe to a fault. I spend a lot of time during the 1st consult, just tryna figure out where things went off-track for the patient. Not just in the body, but also in their schedule, their food habits, their sleep... everything. The end goal? Getting ppl to feel better in a way that doesn’t require endless meds or just symptom-hopping. That’s where the real Ayurveda lives, if you ask me.
