Dr. Rakesh Ramesh Ankam
Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | College of Ayurved and Research Center |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly into treating skin disorders, joint problems, and lifestyle things through Ayurveda—not like the flashy kind, but real day-to-day stuff ppl deal with. I see a lot of eczema, psoriasis, acne flares that just won’t go, even after years of creams n all that. Same with joint issues—arthritis, spondylo... even plain old knee pain that keeps coming back. I mostly rely on herbal meds, panchakarma when it fits, and fixing food habits. But not just dos and don’ts—it’s more like real talk about what the body’s asking for and why it’s stuck.
Usually I start slow, like building a plan around prakriti-vikriti stuff first—coz no two cases react the same. And yeah, lot of my work ends up being lifestyle education more than just medicine. Most ppl don’t realize how simple things like dinner time or poor sleep just pile up on their system over years!! My focus is always root-cause healing—not cover up stuff. Helping them get stable, not stuck in loop. Longterm wellness is possible... if you don’t rush it. |
Achievements: | I am honestly not the kind of person who counts awards or anything, but if i had to say one thing that feels like a real achievement... it’s watching ppl actually heal. Like truly feel better, not just mask symptoms. When someone who’s been stuggling for yrs with pain or skin flareups or gut issues walks back smiling, that hits different. Using pure Ayurvedic principles—not shortcuts—& seeing the shift in them... that’s what keeps me here. That’s the real reward I guess. |
I am an Ayurvedic physician with 15+ yrs into clinical practice, and honestly, I still feel like I’m learning w every patient. Most of my work is rooted in classical texts—true—but I also spend a lot of time adapting that to real ppl’s lives. I mainly deal with lifestyle disorders, skin issues, joint pain stuff… but truth is, nothing ever shows up isolated. One thing’s always tied to another—like gut to skin, or stress to inflammation, etc. That’s kinda where my obsession with prakriti-vikriti balance started. I do a lot of work with chronic joint conditions—arthritis, cervical/lumbar spondylosis, autoimmune inflammations too. Panchakarma is the backbone there, esp Basti & Abhyanga, plus meds that don’t hit digestion too hard. I mix rehab therapy too for better movement—treatment can't just be internal always. For skin, I mostly see acne, eczema, pigmentation stuff, psoriasis. I usually go with detox + rasayana + diet + maybe some lifestyle shifts (no one likes that part much, lol, but it works best). I’m also kinda strong about Dinacharya & Ritucharya. Not just as theory but actual practice. Like, people wanna fix illness but they don’t realize their day-to-day is half the problem. That’s where my role is—I help them tweak diet routines, explain their dosha patterns in simple language, stuff they can hold onto even after treatment ends. End of day, my aim isn’t just "symptom relief"—it’s giving ppl a way back into their body. Teaching them they can trust it again. That’s the real healing. And when someone finally tells me their pain's gone or skin feels better or digestion is quiet—those small things—that's what makes this whole Ayurveda journey worth it. Every single time.
