Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 53

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who’s been practicing for almost 2 years now, and I’d say my core area is Panchakarma and managing long-term or lifestyle-related health issues. I really got into this because I saw how much of modern illness is just ignored until it gets worse—like people living with fatigue or joint pain forever, assuming it’s just part of aging. That didn’t sit right with me. I work with classical Panchakarma therapies a lot—Vaman, Virechan, Basti, Nasya, and yeah even Raktamokshan when needed. I’ve done these across many cases but I don’t just follow a textbook. I look at who the person is, what doshas are messed up, and tailor everything from the therapy to their ahar-vihar. Like it’s not one-size-fits-all, right? Lately I've been seeing many patients with Aamvata, Sandhivata, lower back stuff, or gut issues that just don’t go away with usual meds. My aim is not to just give herbal pain relief but to reverse the underlying pathology—using diet, shodhan, rasayana when appropriate, and helping the body detox n heal at its pace. I’m also into Ayurvedic nutrition a lot. I keep building custom diet regimens for ppl that they can actually follow in real life—not just “don’t eat spicy,” you know? General OPD-wise, I handle stuff like skin allergies, hormonal stuff, acidity, constipation, sleep troubles, seasonal flus etc. I don’t rush consults—I ask a lot of questions, sometimes too many!—but it’s cause every detail gives me a clue about how that person’s system is coping or collapsing. I’ve found that even small tweaks in routine can make a huge shift if done right and consistent. I also use Swasthavritta guidelines a lot. Basic daily dinacharya, ritucharya, and all that makes a diff. And if someone’s open to it, I recommend yoga tools for their case—specially in chronic fatigue, PCOS or anxiety-prone profiles. Anyway, I try to keep it real, gentle and sustainable. My goal isn't to give some miracle result but to nudge ppl toward long-lasting balance. And if I can reduce their dependnce on chem-based meds or help them avoid unnecessary procedures, that’s a win in my book.

I am an Ayurvedic and general physician practicing since 2013—though honestly, my learning never really stops. I started out with a deep dive into cardiac rehab at Madhavbaug in Khopoli, where I spent 2 solid years working with chronic heart patients. That experience grounded me. I mean, seeing how Ayurveda can shift something as serious as cardiac health... it just stuck with me. Right now, I’m more into Panchabhautik Chikitsa, which is kinda fascinating, actually. It’s this classical treatment system that’s centered around balancing the five elements—prithvi, aap, tej, vayu and akash. Got introduced to it through Datar Shastri's teachings and it really changed how I approach disease. Like, you’re not just treating symptoms—you’re seeing how the whole body-mind field is out of sync. I’ve seen patients with long-standing joint pains, stress, acidity, insomnia, all sort of stuff, get real relief when this model is used properly. And no, it’s not a shortcut cure. It’s steady. You got to be patient with it. I mostly do detailed evaluations first, like pulse diagnosis, prakriti-vikriti analysis and then slowly layer in the treatments. Some need Panchakarma, some need proper ahar-vihar correction... not everyone’s gonna respond the same way. I also avoid chemical meds unless absolutely necessary—Ayurveda’s toolkit is broad enough if you know how to use it right. And yeah, I still keep learning. I mean there’s no real end to it. The classics have so much depth and I try to stay close to those roots, even while using newer clinical insights.

I am Dr. Sara Madhukar Maid, BAMS graduate from MUHS Nashik... but honestly the real learning started way before my degree got completed. Right from 1st year I was spending hours in a small but super busy Ayurvedic clinic near home, just absorbing whatever I cud, assisting in basti, jalauka avacharan, and even sira vedhan under Dr. Atul Deshmukh sir. At that time, half the words were still unfamiliar—but hands-on work really built my basics fast. After 4th year, I got more confidence—thanks to working with Dr. Mandar Bhanage, where I independently carried out vaman and virechan. Managing chronic illness cases and seeing real impact of Panchakarma gave me a stronger push towards this path. Honestly, those early experiences shaped how I think of treatment—root cause, not quick fix. Then after my internship, I joined Durvankur Ayurvedic Infertility Centre as assistant physician. That’s where my interest in reproductive health became more focused. I got to manage so many cases of PCOD, PCOS, cysts, hormonal shifts, tubal blockages—you name it. I’ve performed over 500+ uttar basti by now (lost count somewhere tbh), and gradually moved into a more leadership role too, taking over the Nagpur branch ops. Managing patient care, planning treatment, making sure therapies actually align with prakriti-vikriti… I handled all of it daily. It was intense, but really satisfying. Also, I’m a certified yoga instructor—kinda felt necessary, ‘cause in hormonal and fertility cases, the mind-body balance matters A LOT more than we think. I often blend yogic protocols along with herbs and Panchakarma, depending on what the patient needs and what they can actually follow. I try to keep my approach practical—not too heavy on jargon, but still rooted in shastra. I believe Ayurveda shouldn’t feel intimidating or outdated—it’s deeply relevant, even today. With every case, my goal is to guide patients gently but clearly toward natural balance, especially in areas like infertility, hormone health, and chronic fatigue. That’s what I feel strongly connected to.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a little over 5 years in clinical practice and honestly, I still feel like every patient teaches me something new. I didn’t just get into Ayurveda by chance—it started with this quiet fascination with how deeply it connects body, mind n lifestyle. Over time that grew into a solid commitment to help ppl manage chronic issues and prevent future imbalances using a system that’s, well, old but really timeless in its logic. I work a lot with digestion-related probs, arthritis, stress-linked conditions, PCOD, menstrual irregularities n metabolic stuff like early diabetes or thyroid irregularities. My thing is to keep the diagnosis rooted in classical tools—like proper Prakriti-Vikriti analysis—but also make sure that the treatment fits into the patient’s everyday life. What’s the point if someone can’t follow it, right? Most of my plans are a mix of Ayurvedic herbs, detox (Panchakarma when really needed), some real talk about diet (Pathya rules do matter!), and nudging ppl gently into habits that their body-type actually needs. I’ve seen that when ppl start getting their doshas, they’re not just more compliant—they actually feel in control again. And that feels important. I also like to keep communication simple and to the point—no heavy Sanskrit unless someone wants to go deep into that. Just clear understanding, both ways. I want ppl to feel safe in my clinic, to feel heard, and to know that their issues aren’t “too small” or “too late” for Ayurveda. I guess over time that clarity and honesty helped me build trust with a lot of patients from diff walks of life. My learning hasn't stopped—I attend workshops and training updates often, esp around newer challenges where lifestyle is messing with body rhythms big time. But the core of my work hasn’t changed—stay authentic to the classics, keep things doable, treat the cause not just chase the symptom. Ayurveda’s slow, but it’s not weak. That’s something I remind ppl often. If we listen, the body knows how to fix itself—we’re just there to guide it right.

I am Dr. Akanksha Sharma, Ayurvedacharya by training & honestly forever a student of the skin and what goes underneath it too. My journey’s kinda unique—I got certified in Ayurved but later leaned into Medicinal Cosmetology + Nadi Vigyan bcz I always felt surface-level solutions were never enough, right? Like, you can’t just treat the skin without listening to what the rest of the body is trying to say. My real work happens at that point where modern skin issues meet classical Ayurveda. Hormonal acne, pigmentation that just keeps coming back, hair fall that doesn’t make sense even with good diet... I go deeper using Nadi Pariksha to figure out dosha shifts, subtle changes, internal triggers. I don’t believe in throwing the same cream or oil at everyone—each body speaks its own language, I just try to hear it properly. My patients mostly come in for things like premature ageing, oily or dry flaky skin, weird breakouts, stress rashes, dullness, even emotional burnout that shows on the face (yes that’s a real thing btw). And instead of just layering stuff on top, I work through herbal meds, internal rasayana, diet adjustments and detox plans... sometimes just changing a few habits actually does more than a whole course of meds. Preventive care is big for me. Like why wait till symptoms scream out loud?? I try to guide people into seasonal rhythms, small detoxes, maybe daily routines they can keep up with. Honestly it’s not about perfection, it’s about consistency. If you're dealing with skin flare-ups or just want to understand how your body n' mind are connected, I’d love to help. I won’t promise miracles or ten-day cures, but I will walk with you step by step... real healing takes time but it's worth it.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor based in Dhanori, Pune and have been practicing here from around 4 yrs now, kinda steadily building up my clinic and trying to make classical Ayurveda actually work for ppl in daily life—not just as theory but something they can live with, manage & trust. My main focus is root-cause treatment, not quick patch-ups. Whether someone walks in with acid reflux, period irregularity, skin flare ups or back pain, I try to understand the prakriti first... because everything flows from that right? I use a mix of herbs, food plans, detox routines (like light Panchakarma when needed), and lifestyle tweaks that ppl can actually follow, not unrealistic ones. A big chunk of my patients come with lifestyle issues—metabolism off, digestion poor, joints hurting from sitting long hrs, mental fog etc. and most of the time they just need to be heard properly and guided slowly without pressure. I also do dinacharya counselling... like helping folks re-align with circadian rhythms & seasonal care. Small daily things but huge diff in how the body responds. I honestly don’t rush consults... I take time with every person bcz without that real picture, treatment just don’t go deep. Many ppl also just want to understand what’s happening in their body, and I try to explain in Ayurvedic terms that actually make sense to them—not over their heads. My goal has always been long-term healing. I feel this mix of classical approach with modern pace is what helps people sustain wellness—not a one-time cure thing but balance that lasts. Through my clinic in Dhanori I’ve tried to keep care approachable, calm and true to Ayurveda without making it feel out of reach. That’s where I’m at right now and probably where I’ll keep going.

I am practicing Ayurveda with a mix of old-school faith & just everyday real-world work. My base is solidly classical—Nadi Parikshan, Prakriti reading, that kind of stuff—but I kinda lean into understanding the person too, not just the dosha map. Most of my hands-on learning came during those health camps I did with private ayurveda setups... didn’t realize then how much they’d shape my way of seeing patients now. You talk to 100+ strangers in a day, you feel the difference between textbook and truth. Pulse diagnosis really stuck with me, it just felt right, like a deeper conversation without saying much. I usually do a mix of Nadi + verbal ques to get a full picture before I start building a plan... and no two plans are same. I’m especially into treating joint pains—rheumatoid arthritis being one of those conditions where ppl come in desperate, tired, frustrated... and I do my best to ease that through both internal meds & local therapies. Sometimes all they need is someone to listen for 5 minutes without interrupting, fr. Mental wellness and sexual health... yeah, I’ve worked with those too, and I try to be really careful there. The trust factor matters a ton. I keep my space super confidential, zero judgment, just care. Also trained in Marma therapy and Viddha Karma—used both for stuck pain conditions or things that don’t respond to oral meds alone. Panchakarma is something I keep close, it’s not about overdoing it but using the right shodhana or shamana depending on what the body actually needs. I honestly believe long-term health isn’t about curing just symptoms. That’s why every patient of mine gets some piece of daily routine advice—nothing dramatic, just real changes. Some ppl don’t even need meds, just a small shift in sleep or food and they feel seen, understood. At the end of the day I wanna keep Ayurveda clean, human, & real. Something you don’t just read in books but feel in life.

I am currently working as an Assistant Professor at Shreetash Ayurvedic College in Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra and honestly it's kind of a balancing act but one I deeply care about. I mean on one hand there’s teaching—mentoring students, working on their concepts (sometimes even unlearning things they picked up wrong)—and then on the other side I’m also practicing full-time Ayurveda. As a Panchakarma Consultant at Navjeevan Ayush Hospital in Aurangabad, I see patients regularly and help plan therapies that aren't just textbook perfect but also, like, real-world doable. Both these roles actually compliment each other in unexpected ways. The classroom helps me stay super rooted in shastra—the theory part—and my clinic grounds me in the patient’s real struggles, y’know? Like I’m not just teaching about Vamana or Basti—I’m actually doing it... day in day out. And with metabolic conditions or those nagging joint problems where allopathy often gives temporary relief, I’ve seen classical Ayurvedic detox treatments really shift the body’s balance long-term. I use Panchakarma not like a one-size protocol, but tailor it—totally depends on what’s going on with that patient’s prakriti, doshic state, ahar-vihar—sometimes even mental blocks are involved... weird but true. And I try not to complicate things unless needed. For chronic or stubborn cases though, going deeper with therapies like Virechana or Basti often helps. Anyway, what I really care about is keeping things authentic but practical too. Like yes I use herbal medicines, but I also work on changing how people eat, rest, work. My patients know I won't sugarcoat it—I'm honest but warm, I think. And when I'm teaching, I push students to not just memorize sutras but actually think about application—what would they do if the textbook doesn't match the case? That kinda stuff. What drives me still is the sense that Ayurveda is not just ancient but living. And my work—whether in a classroom or hospital—is kinda my way of keeping it that way.

I am into Ayurveda for 15+ years now, and honestly, the more I work with it the more I realize how deep and layered it really is. My entire practice is built around classical principles—not shortcuts or trends. I mostly deal with chronic issues and lifestyle messes... the kind that don’t show up overnight and def don’t vanish with just a pill either. Every person who walks in, I try to read them not just the disease—they’re not just a dosha imbalance or a diagnosis—they’re like this whole mix of prakriti, habits, history, even emotional baggage sometimes. And that’s where I start. My treatment usually weaves together herbal meds, Panchakarma (only when needed), food changes, basic routines, sleep—just... life stuff that actually helps heal deeper. People come in for all sorts of stuff—joint pains that just won’t settle, irregular cycles, metabolic chaos, long-standing skin flares, stress burnouts—you name it. And I’m always like, let’s find the why behind it all. I don’t believe in quick-fix patches. That’s why I focus so much on root-cause diagnosis, and yeah, it does take time. But the goal is stable, grounded healing not just temporary relief. I also do a lot of counseling around Ritucharya and Dinacharya.. even small changes there can flip someone’s energy or digestion within days. I’ve worked in community setups too, and those spaces kinda remind you how much people need education not just medication. I try to simplify things, make Ayurveda feel doable—not this unreachable, overly spiritual thing but practical, everyday healing. Each consult for me is a new story. And a chance to listen. Not just talk. That’s what keeps me here.

I am Vd. Naresh Makwana and honestly, Ayurveda just made sense to me in a way that no other system did. I’ve been practicing for some years now and through that time, I’ve worked with quite a wide mix of cases—from ppl dealing with joint pain or gas/acidity stuff to full-on stress burnout and lifestyle-induced problems like poor sleep or digestion just going offtrack completely. What I try to do is look at the full picture, not just symptoms. Doshas, diet, habits, sleep cycles... it all connects somewhere, right? I usually start with a classical nadi or prakriti-based evaluation, but I also pay attention to the person’s routine n mental state—because otherwise you're just fixing one thing while ignoring the trigger. Treatment-wise I work with herbal medicines, panchakarma detox when needed, or even just simple daily adjustments that are doable for the patient. I don’t belive in overdoing meds. Small, consistent changes usually go longer. I also keep going back to patient education—that part actually matters more than people realise. Like once someone gets how their body works, they start taking better decisions by themselves too. Teaching them about their prakruti or how to eat during seasonal transitions—it’s slow work, but worth it. One thing I’ve learned is that most chronic issues don’t come from nowhere. There’s always layers—habit, diet, mind. I’m always trying to peel that back, with them not for them. Whether it’s diabetes, arthritis, gas trouble or just a tired foggy mind, I want to support them in a way where they don’t feel rushed or confused.. just guided. Healing’s not a straight line. But I do belive in Ayurveda’s power to create deep steady change if we follow it right, with sincerity (and yeah sometimes patience too).
