Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 56

I am someone who kinda got pulled deep into the world of Pharmacovigilance while working under the Ministry of Ayush—honestly didn’t know what all it’d involve when I first got in. But yeah, turned out to be this intense space where we were tracking, recording, and trying to *actually* make sense of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to Ayurvedic medicines—not just collecting data but reading into patterns, questioning dosage trends, and figuring out what might be missing in usage reporting. What made it hit different for me was how much it shifted how I now think of “safety” in medicine. Like, not just whether something works but what are the *hidden* risks—things that don’t get flagged unless you’re actively lookin. I used to be more focused on effects; now I always ask: is there a long-term impact? Could this herb clash with something else the patient’s taking? Sometimes it’s subtle, but yeah, it’s there. I also spent a lot of time trying to build awareness among fellow Ayurveda professionals—helped explain why reporting side effects isn’t just optional. We assume “natural” means harmless… it doesn’t always. Some colleagues were skeptical at first or like, too used to doing things a certain way. But slowly, with enough examples and discussions, ppl started seeing how data actually makes our system stronger—not weaker. Another area I got exposed to was the backend of it all—the regs, how reporting systems flow into bigger national data pools, how ADR forms need to be filled (honestly the format can get annoying lol), but also how that same info shapes safety alerts or even future policy changes. That time in Pharmacovigilance really changed my clinical lens. I’m way more cautious now—more observant. Doesn’t mean I doubt Ayurveda; it just means I try to work from a place of evidence n accountability. Every patient’s reaction, even mild, matters. I guess it made me more grounded, more deliberate in every step of treatment.

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 working as an Ayurvedic practitioner for the past 2 years and during this time I tried to keep my focus on delivering care that feels authentic and practical at the same time. For me Ayurveda is not just about prescribing herbs or doing Panchakarma, it is about seeing the whole picture of the patient—what is their prakriti, how their dosha shifting, what lifestyle patterns contributing to the condition. Many times I find small things, like irregular eating habits or disturbed sleep, making bigger impact than people think, and guiding them on those areas is as important as giving medicines. In my practice I manage a variety of health issues, some common like indigestion, acidity, skin rashes, and some chronic like arthritis, hormonal imbalance, or long-term digestive weakness. I prefer to design treatment plans that are not copy paste but tuned to the individual. Herbal medicines play a big role, but I also rely a lot on simple diet correction, yoga postures, breathing practices, and when needed Panchakarma procedures like virechana or basti. Each of these therapies work best only when matched to the person’s need, so I take time to explain why I’m recommending it, rather than just writing a prescription. One thing I’ve learned is patients respond better when they actually understand what’s happening inside their body. So I spend time in patient education, sometimes even drawing out simple charts or breaking down dosha imbalance in a way they can relate to. It makes them feel part of their healing, not just someone waiting for results. Working with patients so far has taught me the value of compassionate listening. Many times when someone comes with chronic pain or stress, the act of being heard itself becomes part of the healing process. That’s why I try to maintain strong doctor-patient relationships, giving enough time and space for them to share. My aim stays same always—restore balance and help people live healthier, not only free from illness but with better quality of life. I want Ayurveda to be not just a treatment system for them, but a way of sustainable wellness.

I am Dr. Mallesh, an Ayurvedic physician mainly working with ENT disorders—ear, nose, throat—and also oral cavity problems that often get overlooked until they start interfering with daily life. I deal with sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, recurring throat infections, tinnitus, earaches, nasal blockages, oral ulcers… and a few rare cases that don’t fit neatly into any single list. Many of my patients come after trying conventional treatments without lasting relief, which honestly makes me more determined to dig deeper into the cause. My approach starts with a detailed examination, using Ayurvedic diagnostic methods along with a careful listening of the patient’s own story (sometimes the smallest detail changes the entire plan). Once I know what’s driving the issue—often a dosha imbalance combined with lifestyle triggers—I create an individualised treatment plan. That might involve herbal formulations, medicated oils, Nasya (nasal administration), Gandusha (oil holding & rinsing), or other targeted therapies, plus diet & lifestyle adjustments that are actually doable in their daily routine. I try not to just chase away the symptoms but build the body’s own resistance, so the same problem doesn’t keep returning. ENT issues can be stubborn, especially when linked to weak immunity or chronic inflammation, but Ayurveda gives us tools that are gentle yet powerful enough to work long-term. Over the years I’ve seen acute flare-ups calm down without invasive procedures, and chronic cases finally stabilise after years of recurring trouble. That’s the part I enjoy most—watching someone breathe clear after months of nasal blockages or finally sleep without ear ringing driving them mad. Patient comfort matters to me as much as the treatment itself. I keep consultations open and unhurried, making sure they understand what’s happening and why we’re doing each step. “Be healthy, be happy” isn’t just a line—it’s the feeling I want them to carry when they walk out the door, knowing they’re on a path toward real, sustainable recovery.

I am currently doing my MD in Rog Nidan at Tilak Ayurved Mahavidyalaya, Pune — and honestly this phase feels like a complete shift in how I look at diseases. Rog Nidan is about digging deep into diagnosis, not just what the symptom “looks like.” I spend a lot of my time working on Nidan Panchak — Hetu, Purvarupa, Rupa, Upashaya, Samprapti — and trying to see how these classical tools line up with what we call modern clinical observations. It’s not always straightforward, sometimes the pieces don’t fit neatly, but that’s where the real thinking starts. My main interest is understanding the root cause — why the body is reacting the way it does, how doshas are moving, which dushya is weak, which srotas are blocked, and where the samprapti is heading. Because if the diagnosis is even slightly off, the treatment will never hold. That’s why I value this training so much, it makes you slow down and see the case before jumping to manage it. During my MD I’ve been exposed to all kinds of cases — respiratory, metabolic, skin disorders, chronic GI problems — and the learning is different each time. I sit with seniors, discuss, listen, and also try to add my own observations. We do seminars, case presentations, departmental discussions, and those sessions push me to refine my logic, to defend why I read a case in a certain way. Sometimes I’m wrong, but that’s what sharpens the skill. What draws me most is the role of early detection and preventive care. Ayurveda has so much to say about before the disease fully sets in, and I think that’s what people need today. Teaching patients about their prakriti, helping them understand the imbalance, showing them how lifestyle connects with their health… those small conversations go a long way. As I move ahead, my goal is to keep building this bridge — where Rog Nidan isn’t just theory in Sanskrit, but a living diagnostic tool that stands strong even in today’s healthcare setup. Evidence-informed, patient-centered, but deeply rooted in classical wisdom. That’s the physician I want to become.

I am a general physician with just over a year in clinical practice — still learning every single day tbh, but in that time, I’ve seen how powerful basic, attentive care can be. Most people come in with things that look small — a cough that won’t stop, some pain in the back, feeling low or not sleeping right — but those symptoms can mean so much more when you actually stop and listen to the full story. That’s kind of how I try to approach it. My base is general medicine, and I handle a mix of both acute and long-standing conditions. Fevers, infections, gastritis, blood pressure ups and downs, fatigue, hormonal stuff, weird aches that don’t show up in reports — I look at all of it with patience, not just a prescription pad. Alongside that, I also spent 6 months working under a senior psychiatrist — not a lot maybe, but honestly? Eye-opening. Helped me understand how much of our physical health is tangled up with mental patterns we ignore. During that phase, I started seeing anxiety, depression, mood imbalances — not just as “mental” stuff but part of a whole system breakdown. That blend of mental + physical focus really shapes my consults now. Like someone walks in with chest tightness and I’m asking about both ECGs *and* sleep, stress, screen time, relationship stuff — because yeah, that matters too. When I sit with a patient, I try not to rush. I explain what I can (sometimes clumsily lol), keep it real, and work out something that actually fits into their daily life — not some textbook plan. Evidence-based, yes, but also... human. I care a lot about building that honest space where people don’t feel stupid for asking questions or admitting they’re struggling. Whether it’s general issues or stress-related complaints, I take both seriously. Right now I’m open to working with anyone who needs help managing their health, whether it's general wellness or more emotional burnout-type stuff. Let’s talk, understand what’s going on, and figure out a doable path. That’s my whole thing — keep it simple, grounded, and helpful.

I am working in Ayurved practice for over five years now, and honestly it still feels like each patient teaches me something new. My focus has mostly been on holistic care—not just symptom control, but going deep into what’s causing the issue and trying to correct that. Whether it’s a lifestyle disease that’s grown over years or some seasonal flare-up that came out of nowhere, I try to figure out a plan that’s both rooted in classical texts and still makes sense for today’s lifestyle... coz that part keeps changing constantly. I usually begin with a detailed assessment—things like Prakriti analysis, dosha balance (or more often, imbalance lol), daily habits, appetite, stress triggers, sleep patterns, the works. Sometimes even one small detail tells you a lot if you're looking properly. From there I customize herbal meds, food changes, Panchakarma when needed, n even simple daily routine tips. Doesn’t always need a big treatment, sometimes it’s just about small shifts that work together. Lot of the cases I’ve handled are related to digestion issues, stress, hormonal shifts, or joint pains that don’t go away despite meds... those are tricky but I feel that’s where Ayurved shines if you stay patient n honest with it. Many patients also come in with fatigue or mood swings that allopathic tests don’t explain much—those cases really require sitting down and listening. I try to give space to patients to talk, not just diagnose fast and move on. My goal? I guess it’s to make Ayurved feel real for people. Not just something ancient but something that fits today too. I like to give them tools they can carry with them—understanding their bodytype, knowing what food suits them, when to cleanse or rest... even small stuff like waking up at a fixed time can shift the body’s energy. Anyway yeah, I do my best to keep it authentic to the roots but still usable for now. Just helping people live in tune with their body, not fight against it all the time. That’s the aim really.

I am the founder of NutriAyurCare in Gurgaon n honestly my whole idea there is to use food and lifestyle in a real, doable way to help ppl come out of these crazy lifestyle disorders that are just everywhere these days. Like—weight issues, fatty liver, PCOD, diabetes, bloating, acidity… all of that. I kinda work at the intersection of Ayurveda and modern diet science, but without going too clinical or robotic abt it. The goal’s always simple—real change from inside out. At NutriAyurCare, I always begin by understanding the person, not just the symptoms. I do proper prakriti and vikriti analysis, checking their doshic state, daily routine, food habits etc. I don't just throw generic diet charts—I tweak things based on season, digestive capacity, stress level, sleep… you name it. Sometimes even simple tweaks in food timing or combinations start shifting things, if done at the right time with the right awareness. And like, I don’t believe healing should feel restrictive or punish-y. I make sure people understand why they’re eating what they’re eating. I explain stuff in normal language, not textbook jargon, coz when ppl get it, they stick to it. That’s kinda the fun part—watching someone who thought they “had no metabolism” start feeling more active, or someone who’s been on antacids forever actually go without them for weeks without even realizing it. One thing I try hard to do is keep things natural but practical. Herbs are used when needed, but never as a crutch. I don’t push anyone into “Ayurvedic” if it’s not doable in their routine. Like if someone’s working night shifts and they get vata imbalanced all the time, we work around that. We don't just say “sleep before 10pm” and call it a solution. Working with so many diff types of people over the years—teens with PCOD, middle-aged ppl struggling with insulin resistance, moms who feel drained post-pregnancy—I’ve learned that no two journeys are the same. You listen, adjust, replan, and stay consistent. That’s where the real healing kicks in. I really just want people to reconnect with their food, their body’s rhythms and not rely on harsh meds for stuff that’s totally manageable with good lifestyle Ayurveda.

ChatGPT said: I am working in Ayurveda for the last 5 yrs — still learning every single day honestly, but I’ve already seen how powerful this science is when you really listen to the body and don’t rush to suppress symptoms. My work mainly focuses on holistic care — not just the usual disease-name-match-the-medicine pattern. I try to understand each patient’s Prakriti first, that individual constitution, because without that nothing really clicks long-term. Over time, I’ve handled everything from common digestion problems and skin flares to more chronic issues like thyroid imbalances, joint stiffness, stress-linked disorders and recurring fatigue. Each time the pattern’s different, and I like that challenge. My go-to tools? Classical Ayurvedic medicines, definitely, but also Panchakarma when deeper detox is needed. I put a lot of attention into diet regulation, sleep habits, daily routines — those things ppl usually overlook or give up on fast. But that’s where half the healing starts anyway. I’ve seen how consistent Ayurvedic care — even if it’s slow or not dramatic in the first few days — can change how someone feels in their body. Like, not just "less pain" but actual lightness, better energy, proper digestion, calmer sleep. That’s the kind of shift I work toward. It’s not always a straight path, and sometimes things take longer than we expect, but the point is, we don’t just chase the symptoms — we go after the root of it. What I really want is for people to see Ayurveda not just as a backup option when nothing else works, but as a complete healthcare system that actually makes sense in today’s lifestyle chaos. I still feel driven by that — to help more patients reach sustainable wellness, not by quick fixes but with routines & herbs & therapies that fit who they really are. That’s how I work.

I am Dr. Ravikant Sharma, a practicing Ayurveda Consultant, & kinda still a learner too — I mean yeah, I’ve got my BAMS, MD in Ayurveda, CFN certification and am working on my PhD, but in real terms I think the real learning comes from people who walk in with a condition they’ve struggled with for years and trust you to help fix it, naturally. For over 8 years now I’ve been focused mainly on skin issues (psoriasis, pigmentation, eczema... the usual suspects), chronic hair disorders (hairfall, greying, even those weird itchy scalp things that come n go), and sexual wellness — especially infertility and erectile dysfunction where people often come in feeling confused or just… tired of trying. I use classical Ayurvedic chikitsa, but also back it with updated science-based nutrition, prakriti analysis, and real lifestyle planning—nothing random, all practical. One thing I stick by is not rushing. Healing takes time. I try to go beyond the usual prescriptions, looking deep into someone's root imbalance—whether it’s vata pushing the mind too hard or agni just not firing right. Some days the treatment is about lepa or internal herbs, other days it’s about helping someone reset their habits or just explaining what’s actually happening in thier body—most ppl never get that. I really try to build that trust. Not just “fixing the issue,” but helping people feel in-control again, on their own terms. Ayurveda isn’t magic—but when done right, it gets close.
