Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 55

I am an Ayurveda doctor who finished internship at Govt Ayurvedic College, Vadodara — that period was intense but also where I really learnt what textbooks alone can’t teach. I got to work directly with senior physicians, watching how they approach each patient differently, even when diagnosis sounded “same” on paper. I participated in OPD and IPD cases, handled routine checks, and slowly started building confidence in connecting dosha imbalance with real symptoms. During that year, I saw patients with arthritis, digestive troubles, skin problems, respiratory disorders, and chronic conditions that required patience as much as treatment. I was also exposed to Panchakarma in practice, not just as a theory subject — how to prepare patients, how to monitor them during therapies, and the importance of proper follow-up care. That hands-on made me realize how Panchakarma is both science and art, needing attention to detail at every step. The experience deepened my respect for individualized treatment. No two patients responded the same, even with similar medicines. I learnt to look at prakriti, agni, mental state, diet history — and then think about what therapy or herb would suit. The focus was never symptom suppression, it was root-cause balance and guiding patients towards lifestyle changes they could actually follow. More than anything, internship showed me the value of patient-centered care — being compassionate, explaining things in simple words, and involving patients in their healing. That’s a skill I still carry forward. Now, I am passionate about combining this strong foundation in Ayurveda with practical, evidence-based approaches to help people find long-term wellness. My aim remains the same as what I learnt during those days — holistic healing that respects the individuality of each patient, and restores balance in body, mind and spirit.

I am someone who kinda found my rhythm in Ayurveda over time—not all at once. I actually started way back in 2009, working hands-on in an allopathic gynecology department, which sounds unrelated at first, but honestly? that’s what gave me a pretty solid sense of how women’s health needs to be seen from both sides—clinical urgency and long-term balance. That early phase made a big difference in how I approach things now. After that, I moved into the pharma side of Ayurveda. For three years I was at Lakshmi Seva Sangam in Gandhigram, managing production and quality control for Ayurvedic formulations. Not a small thing—tracking standards, monitoring batches, sticking to classical procedures, making sure no shortcuts were taken. Stuff like that made me appreciate what goes into each taila, leham, or choornam—beyond just what you see in a bottle or label. There’s a whole science behind potency and shelf life, and yeah it’s tedious but necessary. That part really deepened how I view dravya (herbs) and formulations when I prescribe now. Since 2019, I’ve been running my own clinic. Small setup, but I like it that way—lets me actually see the person, not just the symptom. I do a mix of classical diagnosis—nadi, dosha analysis, all that—with practical stuff like diet guidance and seasonal detox (when needed). I mostly work with lifestyle diseases, long-standing gut stuff, hormonal irregularities, PCOS, things like that. People come in with 10-year issues and so many failed meds—I try not to just treat, but also explain what’s happening inside their system. That education piece matters to me a lot. I’m not here to preach Ayurveda as magic, but I do belive that when it’s used properly, it really works. My aim? keep it real, honest, accessible—make it work for daily life, not some fantasy health ideal. Every day’s different, and the learning honestly never stops, which I kinda like.

I am practicing Ayurveda from 12+ years now, and honestly every case still teaches me something. I learned early on from Raajvaidya Dr. Sameer Jamadagni Sir, and his approach kinda shaped how I look at health — not just fixing a disease, but *really* understanding what’s happening inside that person. That’s why for me, no two patients are same... I always try to go deep into prakriti, vikriti, past patterns, diet, stress, sleep—all the small things that build the bigger picture. I usually start with a loong case-taking session. I ask a lot—current symptoms, digestion, past illnesses, emotions, food habits, even the odd details. Sometimes patients aren’t sure why I ask certain things but it all connects. That’s how I figure out the samprapti and decide what to do. It’s not just about giving meds for joint pain or acidity or skin rash... it’s about *why* it started, how far it’s gone, and what the body actually needs now to reverse it. Over time I’ve treated ppl with so many diff things—gut issues, painful joints, skin disorders like eczema or psoriasis, hormonal shifts, sleep probs, period imbalances, chronic headaches, low immunity, anxiety-like symptoms... and yah, many cases that didn’t respond elsewhere. Sometimes I use classical medicines, sometimes external oils, sometimes mild detox or Panchakarma-based support—but always after matching with their state & stage. Nothing random. I also try to keep the plan realistic. Like, no one’s going to do 40 rules overnight. I work around the patient’s capacity. Even preventive guidance like ritucharya or food rules—I try to simplify it based on season and city they live in, not just textbook stuff. What gives me the most clarity is when patients slowly start *feeling* normal again, not just symptom-free. That shift tells me we’re on the right track. Ayurveda isn’t quick-fix, but when done properly it really makes ppl feel whole again. That’s the part I care most about.

I am working as a medical officer at AGM Ayurveda College, Jamkhandi, and honestly the work is like a mix of routine + unexpected, every single day. You go in thinking you'll just be checking OPD cases and then someone walks in with this odd chronic issue no one could pin down properly before. And that's the part I kinda enjoy—digging into root cause, not just giving some painkiller and calling it a day. Being in a teaching hospital also means you’re part of a bigger loop—handling patients, yes, but also guiding interns, sitting in case discussions, sometimes reviewing panchakarma protocols that are running in the IPD. It’s not just about prescribing churnas or tablets—it’s like living Ayurveda in a daily, not-so-textbook way. And when students come up with weird doubts or alternate views, I’m like okay let’s think through it rather than just repeating classics word-to-word. That keeps the mind sharp too. Most of the crowd we see here is from semi-rural belt. And that has it’s own layer—people don’t always follow typical "pathya-apathya" advice, you gotta find what will actually work for their food habits, job timings, weather, even belief systems sometimes. Treating someone who does farming all day and skips lunch isn’t the same as advising an office worker with acidity. That taught me to adjust care plans without compromising on core principles. I do a lot of work around digestion issues and women’s complaints—especially menstrual disturbances and postnatal care. Also we get wounds, minor anorectal conditions, skin stuff… it’s never one kind of thing, which means you have to stay alert and not get lazy in diagnosis. And yeah, we do get follow-ups who say things like “last time your lepa worked better than my allopathy meds”—and that feels good, not gonna lie. Some days are tiring, like paper entry, student logs, or handling impatient relatives who just don’t wanna wait. But then you see one chronic patient smile and say "I slept well after 6 months," and that’s the thing that kinda balances all of it out.

I am working in Ayurvedic practice with a steady focus on Panchakarma and just... whole-person care, really. Not the kind where you toss a few herbs and hope for the best, but like actually sitting with someone, figuring out *why* their system’s gone off track—be it chronic fatigue, digestive mess-ups, hormonal swing, or just this constant low-grade stress that doesn’t go away no matter what. That’s where Panchakarma made sense to me early on—not just detox for the sake of it, but a way to reboot the whole system if done right. Most of my clinical work circles around using deep classical protocols—Abhyanga, Basti, Nasya, Shirodhara, Patra Pinda Sweda—all that—but in real life, they only work when matched to the person’s prakriti, agni, strength & actual complaint. You can’t just repeat the same line for everyone, no matter what the textbooks said. Like some folks respond fast, others feel worse before they feel better—it’s all about watching patterns, tweaking things. I like working that way. It keeps things grounded. I mostly deal with long-standing complaints—not quick colds or minor imbalances. More like chronic joint stiffness, IBS-type guts, anxiety mixed with fatigue, sleep disorders, cycle problems, and even people who’ve already been through allopathy for years and now feel stuck. For them, Panchakarma's not just curative—it becomes this turning point. But yeah, it takes work from both sides. Outside of therapy room, I also push for practical lifestyle corrections—dinacharya, ritucharya, food maps they can *actually* follow, small breathing habits to regulate vata overload, things like that. I'm kinda particular about not overloading people with too much at once tho—changes have to stick, not impress. End of the day, my role’s not to “fix” everything, but to guide healing where body already wants to go—just needs support. That belief shapes every plan I make. Sometimes it works fast, sometimes we wait—but when you get it right, the shift is solid.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with over three years of real-time clinical experiance (probably more if I count the late-night cases too ha). My journey kinda started at Shri Vishwaprabha Ayurvedic Clinic—was there for almost a year, and honestly, it was intense! I got to treat so many types of patients... from digestion troubles to weird skin flareups to plain stubborn headaches. That time really sharpened how I understood dosha imbalances and how to actually apply classical Ayurvedic concepts instead of just knowing them in theory. After that, I moved into my own practice in Mumbai—independent for two solid years. That phase was honestly a learning curve and a confidence boost together. I mostly saw people struggling with chronic and lifestyle related things—PCOS, IBS, spondylitis, allergies... even cases where people already tried everything and came to Ayurveda as like, a last resort. It was here I really started developing protocols using their prakriti-vikriti reading and combined Panchakarma with herbal support, diet tweaks and daily habits. Sometimes even just changing sleep patterns and adding a warm oil abhyanga session made a huge difference, it's wild how little things matter! Now I run my own small (but growing!) clinic where every patient gets that one-on-one attention. I genuinely believe you can’t treat a symptom without going deeper. That’s why I mix Ayurvedic diagnostics like Nadi Pariksha with simple, accessible care that people can actually follow—none of the over-complication. Preventive health, seasonal routines, gut work... these are the tools I reach for first. I don’t see Ayurveda as just an old tradition, it’s alive. And every patient brings something unique to work with. That’s why I keep learning, re-reading texts, and staying grounded in patient stories. If anything keeps me going, it’s the moment when someone walks in tired and walks out with clarity (and maybe fewer burps lol). That’s healing, not just treatment.

I am Dr. Divya Naik Mishra, an Ayurvedic physician who kinda believes healing isn’t just about giving a medicine and waiting—it’s more like untangling a web that’s been there for years. I work mostly with chronic lifestyle disorders—diabetes, PCOS, obesity, hormonal ups-and-downs, heart conditions—and I use classical Ayurveda, Panchakarma, food plans, and small but very stubborn lifestyle tweaks to pull patients toward balance. At Swaastik Ayurveda, where I’m founder & chief consultant, we’re mixing old Ayurvedic wisdom with the crazy demands of modern living. Some days that means herbs + yoga, other days it’s more about teaching someone how to eat right for their dosha or making sure they sleep at a sane time. We work online, offline, in-between… whatever makes the patient follow through. My early days at Madhavbaug Clinic, Indore, were all about reversing heart disease, high sugar, BP—using herbal and diet-based protocols. Later, at Kare Ayurveda in Pune, I was treating stress-heavy metabolic cases in a retreat-like space, where healing felt different because the environment itself was part of the treatment. Then as Director at Adiyogi Ayurveda Meditation & Panchakarma Center, Indore, I got deep into detox and rejuvenation, combining Panchakarma with meditation to clear more than just physical toxins. From 2022 to 2024, I worked with Health Total by Anjali Mukherjee, Navi Mumbai—handling weight, hormones, gut issues—basically helping people stop fighting their own body. Now at Swaastik Ayurveda, my goal is pretty clear: get to the root cause, not just quiet the symptoms, and give people tools to actually stay well without depending on constant treatment. It’s Ayurveda, but with both feet firmly in today’s reality.

I am currently practicing at Pranav Ayurveda Clinic in Saharanpur, since Jan 2025, where I’m mainly into chronic conditions—like joint probs, gut issues, hormonal disbalance and ya lots of skin stuff too. I usually go deep into patient history, n then plan out stuff like classical formulations or detoxes (Panchkarma mostly), sometimes Rasayan therapy if it’s really needed. I’m pretty comfortable with Nadi pariksha & Prakriti typing, but tbh I do check modern reports too when necessary—just to get full picture. I also handle most of the Panchkarma therapies here, Vamana, Basti, Virechan etc., and kinda pay lot of attn to hygiene & patient comfort during those. We keep things traditional but also, like, safe & realistic. There’s this part I really enjoy—teaming up with yoga folks n dietitians, we try to build seasonal or Dosha-specific healing routines. Makes a lot more sense than doing just meds right? Like it becomes a whole thing. I also follow up quite close on my cases—checking how things are moving, tweaking the meds or therapies if required. Outside consults, I get involved in awareness events—sharing stuff on Ritucharya, Dincharya, or daily Ayurvedic hacks that ppl actually find useful. And yah, I also help with product ideas in clinic's herb lab...making sure we don’t lose the authentic touch in formulas, which matters lot these days. Working here really taught me how different every case can be—even when the symptoms sound same. And that's kinda what keeps me grounded in Ayurveda.

I am an Ayurvedic physican who's spent over 17 yrs now working in real-life clinics—not just textbooks or theories. I've treated more than 20,000 patients across different backgrounds n health setups. And honestly? every single one taught me something new. What really shapes my approach is Nadi Pariksha. That ancient pulse reading method—sounds simple but when done right, it digs *deep*, shows you things blood reports don’t. It kinda forms the base for how I build most of my treatments. Now my strong suit? Panchakarma. That whole detox n rasayana angle of Ayurveda... I’ve leaned heavily on it for treating chronic stuff—gut problems, hormonal swings, lifestyle mess-ups, stress burnout, even autoimmunity flare-ups. I also use Viddha Karma (therapeutic bloodletting) & Agnikarma (targeted heat therapy) a lot, esp for bone n joint pain, sciatica, nerve issues, frozen shoulder types... works well when you *catch* the imbalance early. But yeah—Ayurveda’s not just about herbs or massage, it’s about knowing who the person *is.* I try explaining prakriti-vikriti during consults—not to sound wise, but coz when ppl get their own patterns, they start caring for their health different. Like... they *get it*, yk? And that changes outcomes in the long run more than any medicine sometimes. Clinical success for me doesn’t mean one-time relief. I kinda focus more on whether someone stops relapsing, whether they feel in charge of their healing journey. I'm still learning tho—keep going to seminars, following research updates, etc. Trying to blend the classics with newer demands, making Ayurveda accessible but real—not repackaged fluff. This work feels like purpose. I just wanna keep it honest, skillful, and human.

I am Dr. Ann Mariya Raphel, BAMS grad and a postgrad Ayurvedic consultant with little over 5 yrs of clinical work behind me, tho honestly it doesn’t feel that long when you're this into it. My main zones of focus? That’d be Ayurvedic cosmetology, skin and hair health, dietetics, diabetes care, and pretty much anything that ties into lifestyle medicine. I work a lot with chronic skin stuff—psoriasis, pigmentation, acne that just won’t quit—plus cases where weight, stress, or sugar levels keep playing havoc with people’s systems. I’m certified in Ayurvedic skin care, too, which kinda gives me this dual lens—outside+inside—when I treat skin. It’s not just about creams or face packs, right? We’re working with internal fire, digestion, hormones... all that. So I usually design individualised regimens that may include herbs, detox, food corrections, and external therapies—like Mukhalepa or Takradhara if needed. And yeah, sometimes people come in for weight loss or sugar control, but once we dig in, it’s really about whole-body balance. That’s where Ayurveda shines. As a lifestyle physician, I don’t just chase symptoms. That’s not my thing. I spend a good amt of time figuring triggers—stress, food timings, screen exposure, gut stuff. My plans often combine traditional Ayurvedic principles with a few modern basics too—like I won’t skip lab values or pathology just bcoz it isn’t mentioned in Charaka. Balance, right? I do stay active with current clinical reseach and trainings—it’s kinda necessary in cosmetology where new things keep popping up and old ones keep proving their worth too. My goal’s pretty straightforward—help people get back their confidence and energy, using therapies that actually sync with their body type and daily life, not just trendy fads or harsh fixes. If it takes time, that’s okay. Healing does, sometimes.
