Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 51

I am working in Ayurveda for over 13 years now, and my practice has always been grounded in the classical way… no shortcuts. I focus on both Shaman (palliative) and Shodhan (purification) therapies, depending on what the patient’s condition really needs. Over the years I have worked with many musculoskeletal, neurological and chronic pain cases using Agnikarma (heat cauterization) and Viddhakarma (therapeutic needling) – both give amazing results when done right, but timing, technique and patient selection matter more than most people realise. I also bring Yoga into my treatments, since I’m a certified Yoga Therapist from MUHS, Nashik. That means I can blend very specific yoga practices with the Ayurvedic medicines and Panchakarma. Sometimes the shift comes not just from the herbal formulations or the detox, but from how the patient moves, breathes and manages their own routine. I like building those personalised Yoga plans alongside therapy – they make the treatment deeper and more sustainable. For me, symptom relief is never enough. I want to find and correct the root cause, whether it’s a dosha imbalance, poor digestion, lifestyle errors, or long-standing stress patterns. Each plan is tailored – from Shodhan Panchakarma to small diet changes – because no two patients are ever the same. And yes, I try to keep my clinic space welcoming… a place where people actually feel supported to heal, not just handed a prescription and sent off. My aim is always the same: guide them towards recovery that actually lasts, using the full depth of Ayurveda and Yoga together.

I am Dr. Sumit S. Tasgaonkar — a BAMS doc who also went on to complete MS in Ayurveda surgery, along with CGO and PGDEMS. Kinda feels like I’m always learning. And maybe that’s what keeps me grounded — balancing classical Ayurvedic wisdom with real-time medical emergencies or even modern diagnostic tools. I don’t see these systems as opposites... for me, they compliment each other when you look closely enough. My work mostly revolves around chronic diseases, metabolic issues, lifestyle mess (and there’s plenty of it these days), and women’s health conditions — PCOS, hormonal imbalance, gynec stuff that needs long-term attention. I use Panchakarma, herbal meds, diet correction, sometimes just shifting someone’s daily habits does more than we expect. But it’s never one-size-fits-all. I take a lot of time getting to the root cause — dosha imbalance, agni disturbance, whatever is underneath the visible stuff. Patients dealing with arthritis, stress, skin flareups, digestion trouble — I’ve seen all of that and more. And every case teaches something new. I’m super keen on tracking progress too. Like we keep tweaking, adjusting as per prakriti and vikriti, not just protocol-for-all. And honestly, the most satisfying part? when patients tell me they feel like themselves again. I started Tasgaonkar Medical Foundation with a big dream of bringing authentic Ayurveda to more people, esp. rural areas where choices are limited. We still keep prices fair and try not to compromise on classical principles. Accessibility doesn’t mean diluting the science — that’s always been important to me. What I really want is to see more people actually understand their health. Not just pop pills or mask symptoms. I wanna give them the tools — through knowledge, through food, through breath — to live lighter and healthier. And ya, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes you doubt, sometimes you adjust everything mid-plan... but that's Ayurveda too. Listening, observing, and flowing with the body, not against it.

I am an Ayurvedic physician who kinda lives in that space between ancient wisdom and what people actually need today.. My base is strong in the classical side of things—trained and certified in Marma Chikitsa (CCMC) and Panchakarma Therapy (CCPT) from the National Research Institute, Cheruthuruthi—and those years shaped how I see healing. For me, it’s not about chasing symptoms, it’s about digging till you find the root cause and fixing from there. That’s where real recovery starts, not just some temporary ease. When I meet a patient, I don’t just give them a ready-made plan. I try to read their prakriti and vikriti, listen to what’s really bothering them, then blend treatments—herbal formulations, diet tweaks, detox via Panchakarma or Shodhana—plus extra stuff like yoga, meditation, or even seasonal wellness routines. Sometimes we need to go slow, sometimes a more intensive approach fits. Depends on their energy, their life, even the season outside. I’ve worked with cases from chronic stress & hormonal mess-ups to skin flare-ups, digestion that just won’t settle, and those weird conditions that don’t respond to quick fixes. There’s a certain satisfaction when you see immunity getting stronger, sleep deepening, pain easing without harmful meds. That’s why I like Ayurvedic care—it syncs with the body instead of pushing against it. For me health isn’t static. It shifts every day, shaped by your mind, your food, your habits, even your environment.. My role is to guide people so they’re not just “treated” but actually understand their body’s signals. In the end, I want them to walk away not depending on me forever but knowing exactly how to keep balance on their own. That’s the real win.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor still figuring out some parts of the journey, but yeah, been deeply into this since around 5 years now, and practicing properly for over a year. What pulled me in was the way Ayurveda looks at *why* something is happening instead of just stopping what’s happening. That idea of going to the root, not just the visible symptoms—that really stayed with me. I focus mostly on pain managment (joint issues, muscular, even chronic back pain stuff), diabetes care (it's more layered than just sugar levels honestly), and a lot of gut issues too—acidity, bloating, IBS-like things that people usually just ignore till they can’t. Lately I’ve been handling more urology-related cases as well, stuff like UTI, urine retention, and male sexual disorders. Oh, and cosmetic concerns too—skin issues like acne, hairfall, pigmentation; not always life-threatening but they do affect confidence n’ mental space. Headaches? Yeah, those too—sometimes it’s sinuses, sometimes just stress piled up over months, and the answer’s never *just* a medicine. I try to align treatment to each person’s *Prakruti*—like their natural constitution, not just what their reports say. For some ppl lifestyle changes work fast, for others it’s slow and you need to rework diet n sleep patterns. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all kind of approach... rarely ever works. Not everything’s perfect in this field either. There’s moments of doubt—did I choose the right herb? did that patient understand what I meant by vata aggravation? But overall, watching ppl come back after weeks and say things like “my pain’s reduced” or “my digestion feels lighter now”–that’s what keeps me here. Not chasing perfection, just consistent, root-level care.

I am a postgrad in Kayachikitsa—that’s the branch of Ayurveda that deals mostly with internal medicine—and over time I kinda found my core interest drifting toward infertility treatment, chronic skin+hair issues, and obesity-related care. Sounds like 3 very different things at first, but honestly, they all tie back to systemic imbalance & lifestyle stress, and that’s where I come in. With infertility, I treat both male & female concerns using Ayurvedic formulations, Panchakarma if needed (depends on the case), and lots of correction around diet, sleep and just... how ppl live day to day. I’ve worked on cases involving irregular ovulation, sperm quality drop, hormonal mess, low energy, even unexplained infertility. Not every plan works right away and tbh, sometimes it takes re-routing, but when the plan fits—it shows. Skin and hair concerns—ya I get a lot of that too. I deal with premature greying, hair thinning, eczema, acne, pigmentation, dandruff etc. It’s never just topical. We usually go deeper, figure out what’s triggering it internally—pitta overload? Stress? Gut issue? Once we see that, treatment feels more targeted. I do a mix of classical herbs + external lepas or oils, all custom based on the patient’s doshic type. I also hold a Diploma in Obesity Management, which helps me design structured Ayurvedic weight programs. These aren’t just about “lose 5kg in 2 weeks”—nah. They’re slow but deep—meant to reset digestion, metabolism, and fix things like insulin resistance or fatty liver. Programs often include basic detox steps (not always full panchakarma), ahara-vihara changes, and regular checkins to keep things real. Whatever I do, I try to actually understand the patient first—not just what they’re saying but what they might be skipping. I always check prakriti, dosha shifts, daily patterns. That helps me explain the “why” before jumping into “what to take.” I think that empowers them to be part of the healing, not just a receiver of meds. long story short—I try to treat at root. Ayurveda gave me the tools for that. I just keep figuring out how to use them better with every case.

I am a medical doctor with 3+ yrs of clinical exp and tbh each day still teaches me something new\.. which I really didn’t expect when I started. My work mainly revolves around diagnosing and managing all sorts of cases—like one day it’s acute infections, next it’s chronic stuff like diabetes or joint pain that won’t go away. I try to not just look at reports but actually *listen* to what’s not being said, ya know? I’m super into making patients feel like they’re part of the conversation, not just someone I’m “treating.” Like if they’re confused about a test or meds or even why I’m suggesting lifestyle changes—I’ll explain all that, even if it takes a bit longer. Most people just wanna be understood anyway.. not rushed. My strength’s def in blending clinical logic with empathy. I plan treatment after looking at the full picture—not just symptoms but stress, sleep, work, whatever else is messing with their health. For both acute flareups and longterm stuff, I try to balance quick relief with sustainable care. And yep, I believe in preventive medicine big time!! I talk a lot about diet, movement, regular check-ins, not just throwing prescriptions. I always keep studying though—new guidelins, emerging research, or better ways to explain things to patients. There’s so much to unlearn sometimes and that’s okay. End of the day, my aim’s simple: to actually help people feel better in ways that *last*, not just for the next 7 days or till the meds run out. That’s what makes all this worth it.

I am a practitioner of Ayurvedic medicine who really tries to bridge that old deep-rooted Ayurvedic way of healing with what people need now, like in real modern-day health setups. I don’t just quote shloks or hand over churnas and expect magic. I take time to understand how this person lives, what their body’s asking, and how the imbalance began—sometimes it’s diet, sometimes stress, or hormones off-track... it’s rarely just one thing. And yeah, I work a lot with both acute flare-ups and long-term chronic issues that don’t go away easy—stuff like acidity that’s stuck for years, joint pain that moves around, irregular periods, skin issues that keep coming back no matter how many creams or tabs they used before. I don’t do one-size-fits-all treatments. Everything is customized—sometimes just changing the time they eat can shift things more than any expensive medicine. I focus a lot on prevention too. Like if you’re always low energy or get frequent colds or sleep is broken—I try to fix those before they become full-on disease. A lot of my treatment style also includes daily rhythm fixing, mild detoxes when needed, and a mix of internal and external therapies. No fake promises, I tell patients upfront how slow or fast something may work. But I do stay in it with them, follow up, adjust things when needed—Ayurveda’s flexible if you know how to use it right. Also I keep learning, rechecking what I know, becuz health keeps changing and you gotta evolve with your patients too. This whole path is not just treatment, it’s a way to help people reconnect with thier own health sense again. That’s kinda why I love it.

I am an Ayurvedic practitioner with close to 5 years now of working hands-on in clincal setups—mostly focused on chronic stuff and lifestyle messes that people drag around for years. I mean things like poor digestion, constipation, acidity, or diabetes that starts quietly and suddenly feels too hard to reverse. That’s where Ayurveda still makes deep sense to me. I work on figuring out why someone’s gut or hormones are off, not just how to mask it. In most of my cases, the root cause is missed. And that’s exactly what I aim to catch. I rely heavily on Prakriti-based evaluation, observing doshic imbalances, and then planning treatment in layers—not just throwing herbs and hoping it helps. Panchakarma plays a big part in my work—when used right, it brings out such clean results. But I don’t rush into it. Sometimes just tuning diet and sleep patterns can shift things more than a Shirodhara session... depends on the body’s stage and mind’s state. I’ve dealt with all kinds of cases, joint stiffness, muscle pain, weight fluctuation, thyroid irregularities, stress cycles that just won’t stop. And yeah, people show up with piles of lab tests and still no clarity. That’s where Ayurveda’s pulse-based reading or Nadi Pariksha often helps make sense of the maze. I try to keep my advice practical—because let’s face it, if someone can’t follow a 6-time daily decoction schedule, the whole thing falls apart. My work is not just about removing disease... it’s more about bringing people back to feeling like themselves again. That’s the best part. And even though I keep updating myself through seminars or case-based trials, I still feel every patient teaches something new each week. I guess that’s the pull—I don’t really see this as a job. It feels more like holding space while nature does its healing, if that makes any sense. And yeah, I take my time with each case. Can’t rush this system. Ayurveda isn’t about quick fixes. It's about steady shifts. Sometimes subtle. Sometimes surprsingly fast. Either way, I'm in it fully.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a long kinda winding road—over 20 years now—working in hospitals, clinics, retreats, even remote NSS camps once! I started out way back in 2000–01 with a year-long internship at SJIIM Hospital, Bangalore. We did Panchakarma practically every day, real-time stuff like treating sinusitis, early neuropathy, slip disc n those typical back pain cases. The rural postings were intense, but they honestly made me see how much Ayurveda can reach ppl beyond the cities. After that, I ran my own clinic for 2 yrs at Nagarjuna Ayurvedic Pharmacy in Bangalore. Was super hands-on there, from consultations to prescriptions. Then I shifted to Kerala, worked at Ayushkara Ayurveda Hospital & P.G. Memorial Dispensary (Palakkad) for a couple of years till 2007—lot more varied patient flow, from simple colds to complex metabolic disorders. I also did regular hospital-based consultations at Ahalia Hospital till 2010, which helped me understand how to fit Ayurveda in structured, multidisciplinary setups. I took a short break after that (maternity leave honestly teaches u diff kind of healing too), then got back to working at Ojas Therapy Centre in Bangalore. Handled chronic stuff like IBS, migraines, arthritis—conditions that kinda come n go but ruin daily life unless you go deep into the root causes. Between 2013–2020, I worked at The Beach House Goa as a Wellness Consultant for global clients. That place blended traditional therapies with nutrition, yoga, stress mgmt. It really broadened how I approach healing—not just herbs or massages, but full lifestyle rewiring. Right now I consult part-time at Vedica Ayurvedic Wellness Centre, HSR Layout, Bangalore. My treatment method? Always individual-based. I look at prakriti, history, habits, not just disease labels. Whether it’s prevention or managing chronic stuff, I still trust Ayurveda’s root-cause-first way. And I still get amazed how well it works, even after all these yrs.

I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.
