Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 53

I am still grateful for those 8 months I worked as a Medical Consultant at Patanjali… feels short when you say it but in reality it was packed with learning. Every day brought a mix of patients – some coming in with minor seasonal complaints, others struggling with chronic issues they’d carried for years. I wasn’t just reading theory anymore, I was applying Ayurveda in real time, seeing how a well thought-out herbal formulation or a tweak in daily routine could shift someone’s health. My work was never about rushing through cases… I would take time for proper patient assesment, going into their history, looking at the dosha imbalances, sometimes noticing small details they didn’t even think to mention. From there, I’d build personalised treatment plans – herbs, diet advice, Panchakarma if needed, and small lifestyle changes that fit their life instead of overwhelming them. There were moments where a patient’s progress was slower than expected, and I had to adjust, rethink, and sometimes go back to the basics. That taught me patience, which honestly is just as important as clinical skill. I also got better at talking to people in a way that made them feel heard and safe, not just “treated.” I kept my focus on root-cause healing – not chasing symptoms but aiming for balance that lasts. By the end of those months, I felt more confident in diagnosis, clearer in treatment design, and stronger in my belief that authentic Ayurveda can still stand firm in today’s fast healthcare world… if practiced with integrity and care. And maybe that’s the part I value most – knowing how to merge textbook knowledge with human reality in the clinic.

I am someone who kinda walks the line between modern surgery and traditional Ayurved… which, yeah, can get tricky sometimes but also makes things really interesting. My focus is general surgery, like the regular stuff—hernias, gallbladders, appendix problems, breast lumps, liver issues, pancreatitis, and all those classic conditions people don’t wanna deal with till they really have to. I also end up treating a fair bit of GI cancers and complications around the rectum n’ anal canal. Not always pretty work but someone’s gotta do it right? What’s different in my approach maybe is that I try not to jump into cutting if I don’t have to. I lean toward conservative care whenever possible—like really pausing to ask: does this need surgery right now, or can we manage this in a way that avoids it altogether? When surgery is needed, I go for precise planning, clean technique, and solid post-op care. But then again, I don’t stop at that. I work a lot with chronic lifestyle problems—diabetes, BP, thyroid—all that stuff that creeps up slowly and quietly wrecks the body if you don’t catch it early. Ayurveda is the anchor of what I do, even when using modern tools. I use Panchakarma therapies pretty often, especially in post-op recovery and in people who come to me feeling stuck or exhausted by years of symptoms with no real improvement. And I do try to minimize medicine overload—many times people are just drowning in prescriptions. You clear the junk, the body kinda starts to heal itself. I was also lucky enough to do two research studies with CCRAS under the Ministry of AYUSH, and that really pushed me into thinking deeper about how to combine evidence-based thinking with age-old Ayurvedic logic. Research didn’t make me “smarter” per se, but it did help me see patterns clearer, and also respect the data side of things a lot more. At the end of it, my goal is long term balance. Not flashy transformations, but real recovery. You don’t need a dozen pills or huge life overhauls always. Sometimes small tweaks done consistently—that’s what makes the real shift. I’m here to help patients figure out what those tweaks look like for them, step by step, at their own pace.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a little over 3 years into clinical practice now—not a lifetime but enuf to say that I’ve seen how deep Ayurveda can work when u actually listen to the patient and not just the symptoms. I usually work with ppl dealing with digestive stuff like indigestion or IBS, joint n spine problems (knee pain, backache etc), skin issues, and lifestyle-related stuff like PCOD or prediabetes. And honestly, every case teaches me something new. My way is pretty simple—I try to figure *why* someone’s getting sick in the first place. That could mean looking at prakriti, food habits, sleep, stress, digestion, even old patterns. Then based on all that, I plan a mix of Ayurvedic medicines (not always bitter, I swear), Panchakarma if required (but only when it’s truly needed—not pushing it), daily routine changes and diet tweaks. Yoga too, but realistic types—not 2 hrs of headstands or anything like that. What matters to me most? Making ppl feel seen. Like they’re not just another “skin allergy” or “joint pain” on my list. I try to keep space open for patients to talk—about their health, habits, fears, whatever is showing up. That’s where half the diagnosis happens anyway, in what they casually mention in between. I keep going back to the classics too, like Charaka and Ashtanga Hridayam—not just reading but applying those age-old principles into modern lives. And when something don’t work, I recheck. I ask. I adapt. I don’t pretend to know everything but I do care enough to dig deeper until something starts to shift for the patient. At the end of the day, for me Ayurveda isn’t just about disease removal—it’s about making ppl feel lighter, better, more in balance. Even if just 10% better at first. That’s where healing begins.

I am practicing as an Ayurvedic consultant right now and honestly—every case kinda reminds me how layered this work really is. People walk in thinking they have just acidity or some ache or sleep trouble, but once we start talking, it’s often a whole mix—stress piling up, food habits out of sync, prakriti totally ignored for years. That’s where I feel Ayurveda gives you a wider lens. I don’t just jump into herbs and churnas, I try to pause and look at the full thing—what time do they eat? How’s their sleep? Are they stuck in a season that's aggravating their dosha and they don’t even kno it? Whether it’s PCOD, anxiety flares, neck pain that won’t go away, IBS, or fatigue that no lab report explains—I work through each case by mapping their doshic balance, mental state, even the tiniest day-to-day triggers. Not to overcomplicate but because otherwise we just keep chasing symptoms that come back. I use classical Ayurveda meds (mostly time-tested ones, no flashy shortcuts), plus small shifts in diet or daily routines—depends on the person, their life pace, their digestion etc. Panchakarma, when it fits, gets added carefully, not like a one-size-fits-all thing. I try to explain *why* I’m suggesting a lepa or a vati or a dinacharya rule—not just ask people to follow blindly. Once they get the logic, they’re usually more into it, they show up for themselves in a deeper way, which helps their healing stick. I kinda see myself not just as someone giving meds but helping ppl understand what their body’s been trying to tell them for years. If that part clicks, the rest starts to shift too—even if slowly. That’s what I focus on. Consistent, grounded, personal care that actually holds up over time.

I am a certified Ayurveda doctor, been practicing for around 3 years now — not a very long time, but enough to see how deep and real this science is. I focus on holistic healing, you know, where it’s not just about “fixing the problem” but understanding why it’s happening in the first place. My approach mostly comes down to this: balance. Whether it’s digestion, hormones, stress, or energy — everything has to sync together. If one part goes off, the whole system suffers. That’s what Ayurveda has taught me and that’s what I try to bring into my practice every single day. I work a lot with people dealing with long-term or lifestyle-related issues like heart problems, diabetes, thyroid disorders, stress burnout, poor digestion, and hormonal ups & downs. Not saying I have a magic formula, but over the years I’ve seen how powerful it can be when you combine the right herbs, diet shifts, and detox methods like Panchakarma with simple daily changes. And honestly, sometimes it’s the smallest tweaks — like timing your meals better or learning to actually chew properly — that end up making a huge difference. One area I keep coming back to is Rasayana therapy. Maybe because I’ve seen it help restore strength and vitality in people who were just... stuck. Like totally drained, emotionally and physically. Those are the moments that stick with me. I try to create treatment plans that really fit a person — not just general “take this churna” kind of stuff. I go deep into dietetics, look at their dosha, their habits, even sleep patterns. Over time I’ve helped a bunch of folks not just “get better” from their illness but actually feel like themselves again. And yeah, that takes effort. There’s a lot of education involved — people don’t always know what their body is asking for. So I end up guiding them on daily routines, stress responses, how to listen to their own body better. My goal? Not just symptom relief. I want people to stay well — to age better, feel more alive, and not always be dependent on pills or quick-fixes. Ayurveda’s not always fast but it’s true. And that truth has helped me stay grounded in my work even when things get a bit messy or slow.

I am Dr. Aishwarya Mahajan, and honestly, my journey into Ayurveda wasn’t about just getting a degree—it’s been more of this evolving relationship with how the body heals itself when you actually listen to it. I did my BAMS, sure, but what really changed things was seeing real ppl struggle with gut issues, weird hormonal shifts, daily fatigue—and how Ayurveda had answers that weren’t just about pills n patches. I mostly focus on gut health (it’s kinda the base of everything honestly), women’s wellness, metabolic mess-ups like PCOS, thyroid swings, even sugar highs—plus lifestyle disorders that sneak in when routines go wild. My way isn’t about giving long list of herbs n telling people to “just relax.” Nah. I try to figure out *why* your system lost its rhythm—maybe your sleep's outta sync, maybe your agni’s down, maybe your work-life cycle is a total mess. Then I build diet suggestions, healing routines, herbal stuff—bit by bit, real life stuff, not Insta Ayurveda hacks. Right now, I do online consults, which honestly helps me reach patients sitting in cities, towns—even abroad. Doesn’t matter where you are if you’re ready to take healing seriously. My sessions usually go into your prakriti-vikriti state, daily patterns, stress, gut signs—all that. I read between lines, because sometimes symptoms don’t say everything but your story kinda does. Also, I keep learning. I read. I re-read. I question—like why did this work for one patient and not another? What else does Charaka or Ashtanga say about this pattern? I’m not claiming to know it all—but I care a lot. And yeah, I talk about Ayurveda like it’s not ancient—it’s just timeless. My vision really is to make it feel real, relevant, and not stuck in textbooks. Healing should be natural, but also practical. That’s what I try to do everyday.

I am an Ayurvedic physician trained in BAMS, and my focus has always been on using Ayurveda not just for curing but for keeping people healthy long term. During my practice I realized most patients come with chronic or lifestyle issues — diabetes, stress, gut disorders, joint pain — and what they really need is someone to break it down simple for them. I use classical chikitsa, Panchakarma when needed, and daily pathya-apathya guidance to design plans that fit real life, not just textbooks. I’ve worked with people needing detox, diet corrections, or preventive routines, and each case teaches me something diff. Panchakarma especially gave me hands-on understanding — it’s not just about doing a therapy, it’s about preparing properly, monitoring every response, and guiding the aftercare too. Small mistakes there can change outcomes big time, and I learnt that the hard way at times. For me, Ayurveda isn’t about one-size-for-all treatment. I look at prakriti, agni, lifestyle habits, emotional state, and then decide what herbs, therapies, or routines suit them. Some just need diet tweaks, some need deeper shodhana. I also spend time with patients explaining “why” — cause if they understand the root, they stick to it better. Preventive care is another big part of my interest. Teaching ppl how seasonal regimens, food choices, and simple Ayurvedic routines can prevent half the diseases I see every day. It’s not glamorous work, but honestly, that’s where real healing starts. I see myself as both a clinician and an educator, trying to empower patients with knowledge, not just medicines. The goal is always sustainable wellness, not quick fixes.

I am an Ayurvedic surgeon—still learning a lot tbh—but working full-on past 3 years in clinical practice with both OPD/IPD patients. My main focus is on things like ano-rectal issues (piles, fissure, fistula), chronic non-healing wounds, kidney stones, varicos veins, general surgeries... plus pain-related or muscle-skeletal problems too. Ksharasutra’s been a core tool in my setup—works amazing in fistula cases if used right, with proper post-care. Agnikarma is also something I trust, esp for pain or localized swelling. Most cases that come to me aren’t new—they’ve usually tried meds or surgery somewhere else. That means I gotta go deeper, check why healing got stuck or recurrences happening. I spend a lot of time just assessing—prakriti, agni, dosha pattern, patient habits, even small stuff like sleeping postures or food gaps can change outcomes. Not everything needs surgery—sometimes just mild parasurgical help & correction in dinacharya can shift pain or healing speed. For every case, I try to build a plan that's 100% patient-centered. Not in some theoretical way, but actually tuned to their body & daily life. Whether it’s herbal lepa for wounds or a Basti course for post-operative pain, I tweak as needed mid-process if I see the body reacting diff. No set template. Also I keep sharing basic info with patients on why things are happening to them... not just what to do. Education is part of the healing, I feel. Plus I'm always exploring ways to make Ayurveda and surgery talk to each other better—like bringing evidence-based tweaks to traditional treatments without diluting the core values. Feels like that’s where long-term solutions live. Not everything is neat or fast, but if it leads to deeper relief or prevents a reoccurence—even one—I feel that’s real progress.

I am practicing Ayurveda for around 17 years now—and honestly? every year still teaches me something new. Most of my work’s centered around chronic stuff... like lifestyle disorders, gut issues, joint wear-outs, PCOD, infertility, eczema-type skin stuff—cases that usually walk in after trying a lot of “fixes” that didn’t last. I try not to just chase symptoms. Instead, I spend time figuring out why something’s off in the first place—then I work from there. I use herbal meds, sure, but Panchakarma’s big too when the body’s loaded. Food habits? crucial. I tweak diets based on prakruti and how deep the imbalance goes. And yeah, prevention’s always part of the plan—because what’s the point of healing if it doesn’t stay? Over the years I’ve had patients from all kinds of backgrounds—office workers with acidity and fatigue, women struggling with hormone swings, elderly folks with knee pain that flares up in winter, people on 4–5 pills a day just trying to sleep or digest. What I do isn’t magic, but when done right, the results stick. I like blending the classical knowledge with new research when needed—it helps. Keeps things balanced and safe. The main thing for me is that people feel heard. Not rushed. I don’t want anyone leaving with more confusion than they came in with. If someone’s genuinely open to natural care and willing to stick through the process, I’ll walk that path with them fully.

I am a practicing Ayurvedic consultant with 4+ yrs into running my own clinic—honestly, that place’s kinda like my second home now. I work one-on-one with patients, listening closely (sometimes over chai, not kidding) and figuring out *why* their health is off track, not just *what* hurts. Every treatment I suggest is based on classical Ayurvedic texts, but I tweak it to match their prakriti, lifestyle chaos, even their food likes (yes, diet plays a role every single time). No cookie-cutter stuff. Right now, I’m also working as an OBGY registrar at CritiCare Multispeciality Hospital—and trust me, that blend of Ayurveda and hardcore hospital duty? super eye-opening. I get to apply my Ayurvedic skills while staying sharp on clinical protocols, emergency handling, all that. Especially in women’s health—things like PCOD, painful periods, infertility workups, and prenatal routines—I kinda see both sides of the picture. One rooted in herbs and doshas, the other in scans and labs. It helps me balance both, like when modern meds help fast but the root cause? That’s where Ayurveda steps in. I’m big on preventive care too, but that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, right? Most folks come when it gets bad. That’s okay—I still aim to guide them with honest opinions, ethical meds, and no false hope talk. I also believe half of healing comes from being heard. I mean, many times patients just want someone to *get* what they're saying, without brushing it off. That’s where I try to slow down, ask better questions, and work *with* them, not just *on* them. Whether it’s stress messing with periods, or someone tired of trying every cream for hormonal acne, I try to dig deep. Herbs, counseling, detox, diet—all in. And yeah, sometimes it's messy, doesn't work instantly, and needs plan B... but we keep going. That trust, that space where they feel okay to ask anything—that's what I keep aiming for. Healing's not always a straight line.
