Dr. Jaykumar Hemrajbhai Gadara

ITRA Jamnagar

Doctor information
Experience:
3 years
Education:
Institute of Teaching & Research in Ayurveda (ITRA)
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mainly working with autoimmune disorders like RA, SLE and Hashimoto’s (Autoimmune Thyroiditis) along with metabolic stuff—like Diabetes and Hypertension which honestly, are showing up in younger and younger patients these days, which is… concerning tbh. My goal is usually to figure out what’s really off underneath, not just suppress things on surface. I try sticking close to core Ayurvedic logic—Doshas, Dhatus, Agni, that whole system—while still adjusting for what each patient really is living with right now.

Depending on what shows up in Nidan panchak or during Rogi Pariksha I’ll go for herbal meds, or sometimes full Panchakarma if the system needs a reset. I spend lot of time explaining food n’ habits, sometimes feels like that part matters more than meds even. I won’t lie, compliance’s tricky—but if someone gets why they need to sleep right or stop skipping meals, things usually start shifting.

I also pay attention to mental stress & ama accumulation esp. in autoimmune cases. Chronic fatigue, gut flareups, skin issues—they’re all part of the same underlying mess. Making care plans feels like solving puzzles sometimes… frustrating too but also satisfying when you see progress. I really just want to make sure ppl don’t feel stuck in their diagnosis forever—Ayurveda has more to offer if it’s used right.
Achievements:
I am mostly working with autoimmune cases and lifestyle issues, and ya over time I’ve seen decent success in that space. A few cases were tricky—like flares that didn’t respond initially—but through consistent individualized Ayurvedic protocols they did shift. I’ve also written some papers, not flashy ones but they got published in legit peer-reviewed Ayurvedic journals which meant a lot to me. It kinda keeps me accountable too… making sure it’s not just anecdotal but backed by observation n’ reasoning.

I am working as a Resident Doctor (R3) in Rog Nidana dept at ITRA, Jamnagar, and honestly the clinical exposure here is intense... like we don’t just read about Nidan Panchaka—we use it every single day on actual patients. It’s kinda fascinating how the pulse, tongue, eyes, stool, voice, etc. can give such layered insight if you really look close (and ask the right questions—sometimes that’s harder than it sounds). We combine all that with labs, USG, CBCs, ESRs too. Bridging ayurveda & pathology is something I’m getting deeper into each day. My main interest really revolves around understanding chronic & systemic stuff—like autoimmune and gut-related issues. I like figuring out patterns, especially where modern & Ayurvedic findings overlap. During my postings I got a lot of chance to see such cases where vata-pitta involvement was obvious clinically but tricky to catch in reports, or where symptoms didn’t fit in neat textbook boxes. That kind of ambiguity makes diagnostics way more meaningful and yeah—challenging too. I’ve also learned the importance of Prakriti and Rogi Pariksha—it’s not just background info, it affects everything, like how the patient’s gonna respond, what they tolerate, or how slow/fast they'll shift with treatment. That part still keeps surprising me. Outside IPD/OPD rounds, I’m also involved in case discussions, seminars and internal audits, which actually help solidify what you learn in real time. We debate tough cases, swap interpretations, pull up classics for guidance... it’s not always neat, but that’s where the learning sticks. Anyway I guess what I’m trying to do is stay rooted in Ayurvedic diagnosis while still open to the usefulness of modern tools. Whether it's nadi or Hb%, I think both got something to say. My aim is to use them together for more tailored plans that actually fit the patient rather than just the disease name.
