Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | KVG Ayurveda Medical College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly focused on treating joint and spine related issues using the traditional methods of Kerala Ayurveda—I mean, disc prolapse and osteoarthritis are something I see a lot in my practice. Not just pain relief but helping ppl actually move better again is what I care about. I kinda rely on Marma therapy, Panchakarma stuff like Kati Basti, and slow rehab ideas that respect the person’s Prakriti. Sometimes we think it’s just wear-n-tear but often there’s a deeper imbalance hiding there, and figuring that out changes everything.
Each case gets its own flow—no copy-paste treatments. Someone with vata dominance reacts totally diff from someone with kapha-aggravated stiffness. I adjust meds, oils, diet tips—depends on how they’re presenting and how the body’s reacting during each stage. People often come in thinking they need surgery, and while that’s not always avoidable, I try my best with conservative but deep-acting protocols.
I’m still learning a lot from this kind of hands-on approach. You read all about Asthi-Sandhi and doshic involvement in theory, but until you feel the shifts happening with real ppl... it’s not the same. For me, combining that classical logic with real-time feedback is key. If I can give someone even a 10% return in strength or flexibility, naturally and safely—that’s a big deal. |
Achievements: | I am currently doing a Diploma in Nutrition n Dietetics—felt like I needed to fill that gap between Ayurvedic medicine and what ppl actually eat day-to-day. Like, herbs work sure, but food has such a huge impact and I wanted to stop guessing around it. This course is helping me connect therapeutic diets with dosha logic better.. and kinda gives more confidence when I’m advising patients on lifestyle or gut issues. I want to make diet part of the healing—not a side note!! |
I am Dr. Gayathri P.V. and I’m currently working as a Junior Consultant at Sree Ayurveda Kalari Marma Chikitsalayam in Thrissur. Most days, my focus is on bringing classical Kerala Ayurveda into actual daily healing—not just theory. I kinda grew into this space where Kalari Marma therapy and Panchakarma aren't just “treatments” but feel more like dialogues with the body... especially when dealing with chronic pains, muscle injuries, or those long-standing imbalances that keep showing up in diff forms. My roots are in the traditional Kerala school of Ayurveda, and I really try to hold onto that authenticity even when adjusting for each patient’s condition or lifestyle. Whether it's Abhyanga for stiffness, Marma for joint restoration, or Nasya for head-related complaints, I build protocols that work with the person—not just against their symptoms. And yes, I constantly refer back to Tridosha and Dhatu theory to stay aligned with the cause behind what's happening, even if sometimes the symptoms are all over the place or don’t fit textbook lines. At the clinic, I also work closely with our therapy team—many of whom are quite skilled with traditional Kalari-based recovery methods. That teamwork actually matters a lot, especially for rehab or post-trauma recovery where things don’t always go as plannd and we need to adjust mid-process. I end up spending a good amount of time tweaking herbal combinations or modifying timings based on what the patient’s prakriti is reacting to. What drives me most is making Ayurvedic care practical but still rooted. I don’t want patients to feel like Ayurveda is too complex or out of reach. The goal’s always to restore function, reduce suffering, and support the body without forcing unnatural shortcuts. Each consultation I take kinda teaches me something back too—I pay attention to that. And yes, I’m still learning, still trying to deepen my understanding... but I’m here to do it sincerely, with clarity, and with care.
