Dr. Rajavi Pandya
Experience: | 2 years |
Education: | Shri Swaminarayan Ayurveda University, Kalol |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am trained in Shalya Tantra, Kaya Chikitsa & Shalakya Tantra, which kind of gives me a pretty full-circle view of Ayurvedic healing—like I can go from surgical care to internal medicine to dealing with ENT stuff all under the same lens. It’s not always about treating what shows up on the outside... often it’s about tracing it back to where it really started. And that's what I try to do each time.
When I’m working in Shalya, I deal with conditions that need hands-on procedures—abscess drainage, hemorrhoids, fistulas, those kinds of things. But I don’t just do the surgical bit n leave it there. I usually integrate wound healing plans, diet changes n post-op rasayanas to make recovery stronger. With Kaya Chikitsa, it’s more about chronic metabolic and systemic issues—digestion, fatigue, fever patterns, stuff like that. Some are simple, but others take a lot of puzzle-piecing to figure out.
Shalakya work is tricky sometimes—eye n ear complaints can go wrong fast if you miss the root cause. I rely a lot on classical diagnostic tools, but I also look at practical lifestyle habits that may be adding to the problem. Sometimes people don’t realise their headache is actually related to dry eyes or that recurrent colds have to do with gut issues. My goal is to catch that link.
Each case, I try to blend what the texts say with what I see right there in front of me. No cookie-cutter plans, just small real changes that add up. |
Achievements: | I am done with a full 1-yr internship at PSM Hosp n PHC—got real hands-on time there, not just OPD/IPD work but also community cases, follow-ups, even emergencies at times. Later I joined Merchant Ayurvedic Hospital at Basana as a Medical Officer (for 4 months), and honestly, that’s where I really sharpened up on counseling n making solid diagnosis using Ayurvedic lens. We saw a lot of mixed cases, some chronic ones too.. helped me refine my care style to be more root-focused, not just symptomatic. |
I am Dr. Rajavi Pandya n I work mostly where Ayurveda meets real life... like not just treating symptoms but digging a bit deeper, yk? I’m big on designing super specific protocols that are dosha-aligned but also realistic for each person’s lifestyle. Honestly, I don’t belive in flooding people with meds unless really needed—less is more if you ask me. Diagnosis comes first, then we go from there. Usually I start with understanding prakriti and agni status, plus what habits might be causing a mess inside. My main thing is making sure whatever we do—whether diet, herbs, or some lifestyle changes—actually sticks and works long-term. I use a lot of classical tools like Panchakarma, Shamana Chikitsa, sometimes Rasayana (when timing's right), but also always tying it back to evidence-based insights... I keep reading up new studies to cross-check and not just rely on what the books say from 2,000 years ago (even if they're genius). Over the years I’ve seen chronic issues like hormone imbalances, gut-related stuff (acidity, bloating, IBS-ish symptoms), metabolic chaos, fatigue and even those skin cases where nothing else seems to help... all shift slowly but surely when you look at root cause instead of patching over. I do spend quite some time talking to patients too, like proper one-on-one time, because no two bodies or minds react the same way even to the same herbs. For me, Ayurveda isn’t only about herbs n ghee and all, it’s about re-training the body to trust its own rhythm again. That’s where healing starts. I keep the plans simple but deep—aligned with prakriti, dinacharya, ritucharya, but also like… something you can actually follow without burning out. If I can help someone feel lighter, more clear-headed or just more themselves, then I think we’re on the right track.
