Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 56

I am someone who sorta walks between two worlds—Ayurveda and Allopathy—and honestly I don’t see them as opposite sides. For me, they’re just different lenses to look at the same human story. Whether someone walks in with a fever or a chronic skin issue that’s been bugging them for years, I try to not rush in with a prescription. First, I listen. I really sit with their words, the way they describe symptoms, even stuff they almost leave out—it tells you a lot if you’re really paying attention. Ayurvedically, I’ll map out the doshic pattern or see where lifestyle’s gone outta sync. But I’m not hesitant to run bloods or refer an x-ray if something needs ruling out. Some days I might start with Triphala and adjust their ahar-vihar. Other times, a short antibiotic course is what’s safest n most practical. That balance is always shifting, patient to patient. I’m big on patient education. Like, if you’re treating PCOD or acid reflux or migraines again and again and not telling them why it's showing up... then they just keep coming back without real healing. I explain stuff—even if it takes longer—and try to keep it human, not too textbooky. Preventive care is another space I care a lot about. Not just “don’t eat fried food,” but helping people actually understand their bodies, cycles, digestion rhythms, even emotional triggers. That’s when people start healing not just from disease, but from this long-term pattern of imbalance we kinda normalize. Whether it's something as basic as a cold or something deeper like fatigue that’s not explained by any test... I try to meet them where they are, not where a protocol says they should be. For me, the goal is long-term wellness. Doesn’t matter if that starts with a decoction or a diagnosis code—as long as we’re working toward real balance. That’s kinda the core of how I practice. It’s not rigid. It’s alive.

I am Dr. Shivam Joshi. Bit hard to describe this journey in neat lines, but anyway—I'm basically someone who grew into Ayurveda not just through study but through living it kinda closely. I studied at Akhandanand Ayurved Mahavidyalaya in Ahmedabad for BAMS, then went deeper into clinical and academic roots at ITRA Jamnagar. That place changed things for me honestly—gave me more than just degrees. Did both my MD and PhD there, and every phase kinda opened new layers of how I see healing. My focus is what we call Trimarma Vyadhi—diseases that affect the brain (manas/mastishka), heart (hridaya), and kidneys (vrikka). Not just as separate systems but as a netwrk where physical, mental, and emotional signals mix. Like someone's anxiety and kidney dysfunction might be more connected than people think. I try to look for those deeper dots. I follow this line—Chaitanya Sangrah. It's not just a motto, it’s more like a filter I use to see patients. Healing to me needs awareness—not just of the disease, but of the patient’s life, surroundings, thought-patterns, lifestyle... all that gets tangled with the body. That’s where my work begins. In my practice, I combine Panchakarma, Rasayana therapy, and classical herbs with some modern diagnostic tools—yeah, I’m fine using scans or reports if they help me see better. But the treatment part stays authentically Ayurvedic—root-cause based, non-suppressive, always personalisedd. I'm quite driven about patient education tbh. Like, it's one thing to give meds but if they don’t get why it happened or what to fix outside the clinic, we’re just patching things. My goal is to help them feel stable—not just physically but in their work, family, sleep cycle, digestion...basically the whole ecosystem of health. I work a lot with cases like chronic kidney issues, anxiety with body symptoms, heart conditions triggered by stress or bad ahar-vihar. I won’t lie—some cases feel heavy. But I’ve seen slow, natural healing work where quick fixes failed. And that keeps me going. Right now, I’m trying to keep refining how Ayurveda fits into modern daily lives, especially for ppl stuck in speed, screen-time & stress loops. True healing isn’t fast—but it’s real.

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 working in Ayurveda since... what, 15 years now? maybe more. And honestly, I still feel like I’m learning something new every time a patient walks in with pain that just won’t go away. My main area is musculoskeletal and neuro disorders—gout, sciatica, arthritis, cervical issues, heel pain, frozen shoulder, migraine—you name it. Not just the usual oil massage thing ppl assume Ayurveda is. I go deep into nadi analysis, diet, history, dosha imbalance and all of that, and we try to fix why the pain is showing up in first place. I run a setup where we mix classical Ayurvedic treatments with supportive therapies that work well alongside. Yoga for stiffness and rebuilding movement, Neurotherapy for calming nerve-related stuff, cupping (Hijama) for draining stuck heat/toxins (some are scared of it but it helps, ngl), and Raktamokshan for deep inflammation conditions—it’s not for all, but when needed it does give solid relief. Each person I see gets a different plan. No ready-made booklet here. Panchakarma’s a big part when we need a full reset—especially for recurring things. I also look into food patterns, like really—what, when, how ppl eat makes a huge difference, but they often ignore it. Over time I’ve seen that ppl mostly want someone who listens, explains in plain language, and doesn’t push meds blindly. I just try to be that. And trust me, when a patient who limped in starts walking freely or stops needing painkillers daily—that satisfaction is what keeps me showing up again and again.

I am right now working as the Chief Consultant at Dirghayu Superspeciality Ayurved Hospital in Jalgaon, and yeah—my core areas are women’s health, Panchakarma, and skin probs (the kind that just don’t go away easily). I mostly see a lot of menstrual disorders, PCOS, infertility stuff, also peri-menopause and all that chaos. Each case really comes with its own story… sometimes it’s hormones, sometimes it’s stress, sometimes gut. Honestly you gotta look at the full picture—prakriti, diet, how the mind’s doing too. I use classical Ayurvedic formulations but also rely heavily on Panchakarma when needed. Like, deep detox isn’t just trendy—it actually resets things, when done right. Whether it’s Vamana or Basti or even Nasya for that matter, I design the whole protocol based on prakriti + vikriti. No cookie-cutter treatments. Some ppl respond fast, others need more time—there’s no fixed timeline, and I try telling patients that early on. Skin disorders also form a major part of my work. From acne that keeps flaring up no matter what, to stubborn psoriasis patches, allergies, hyperpigmentation, eczema etc—I’ve seen how internal & external detox + diet change + rasayana can slowly shift the pattern. I don’t push quick fixes but ya sometimes ppl come after trying evrything else & then get frustrated when results aren’t instant. But I try to listen, explain, re-check things over time. One thing I always stick to is personalizing each care plan—body, mind, food, habits, sleep—everything’s part of the treatment. And it takes time, but when ppl start feeling themselves again, that’s kinda the most satisfying part. I also like bridging the old with new—I don’t reject diagnostics or labs just becuz they’re modern. Ayurveda is flexible like that, if you know how to listen. In short—whether it’s a long-drawn skin issue or deep-rooted hormonal imbalance, I try to make the whole process human, grounded, and actually sustainable. Not flashy, just consistent.

I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a long kinda winding road—over 20 years now—working in hospitals, clinics, retreats, even remote NSS camps once! I started out way back in 2000–01 with a year-long internship at SJIIM Hospital, Bangalore. We did Panchakarma practically every day, real-time stuff like treating sinusitis, early neuropathy, slip disc n those typical back pain cases. The rural postings were intense, but they honestly made me see how much Ayurveda can reach ppl beyond the cities. After that, I ran my own clinic for 2 yrs at Nagarjuna Ayurvedic Pharmacy in Bangalore. Was super hands-on there, from consultations to prescriptions. Then I shifted to Kerala, worked at Ayushkara Ayurveda Hospital & P.G. Memorial Dispensary (Palakkad) for a couple of years till 2007—lot more varied patient flow, from simple colds to complex metabolic disorders. I also did regular hospital-based consultations at Ahalia Hospital till 2010, which helped me understand how to fit Ayurveda in structured, multidisciplinary setups. I took a short break after that (maternity leave honestly teaches u diff kind of healing too), then got back to working at Ojas Therapy Centre in Bangalore. Handled chronic stuff like IBS, migraines, arthritis—conditions that kinda come n go but ruin daily life unless you go deep into the root causes. Between 2013–2020, I worked at The Beach House Goa as a Wellness Consultant for global clients. That place blended traditional therapies with nutrition, yoga, stress mgmt. It really broadened how I approach healing—not just herbs or massages, but full lifestyle rewiring. Right now I consult part-time at Vedica Ayurvedic Wellness Centre, HSR Layout, Bangalore. My treatment method? Always individual-based. I look at prakriti, history, habits, not just disease labels. Whether it’s prevention or managing chronic stuff, I still trust Ayurveda’s root-cause-first way. And I still get amazed how well it works, even after all these yrs.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a postgrad specialization in Shalakya Tantra—which honestly is one of the most detailed and precise branches in Ayurveda. It deals with diseases of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, and head region, and yeah... it demands a lot of observation n sharp diagnostic thinking. My training combined both deep classical texts and hands-on experience in ENT and ophthalmic cases, and that mix helped me see how Ayurved still holds strong in today's clinical setting—if applied rightly. I work with conditions like chronic sinusitis, DNS, allergic rhinitis, repeated throat infections, ear blockages, tinnitus, dry eyes, early cataracts, conjunctivitis, etc. But instead of just treating surface-level symptoms, I try to understand what's disturbing the doshas, especially in the head-neck region where vata-pitta can get disturbed quite fast due to climate, stress, or lifestyle stuff. In my clinical work, I use a blend of therapies like Nasya, Kriya Kalpas (netra tarpan, ashchyotan), Gandusha, and dhoomapana when needed. Sometimes I combine these with herbs or classical lepas n kashayams depending on stage of disease n patient's strength. Not every case needs heavy protocol—some just need right cleansing, right timing, and consistent follow-up. I also value modern diagnostics—whether it’s an audiometry report, eye pressure test, or imaging—because clear understanding of pathology makes the plan stronger. I don’t ignore allopathy—I just try to bridge it with Ayurved wherever possible. For example, supporting post-tonsillectomy recovery with Ayurvedic rasayan or helping patients taper unnecessary antibiotics while treating ENT infections with herbal formulations. What really matters to me is patient comfort n trust. ENT symptoms can be frustrating—things like blocked ear, blurry vision, or constant sneezing can drain your energy daily. My aim is to create treatment that doesn’t just manage these issues but actually shifts the person toward balance. Every person’s pramana, strength, and agni is different—and that’s where the real skill lies. To match therapy with the person—not just the disease. That’s what I try to do in every case. Quietly, consistently.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with around 3 years of solid clinical experience in gynecology and obstetrics—mostly working with menstrual problems, fertility-related cases, pregnancy care and menopausal issues that ppl usually say are just “part of life” but actually... they don't have to be. My practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts, but also flexible enough to understand what modern life is doing to women’s bodies n rhythms. I mostly work with women across all age groups—from teens struggling with irregular periods to older women navigating that long bumpy menopause phase. I look at each case with a mix of Ayurvedic pathology and current understanding of reproductive health. Whether it’s managing PCOD naturally or helping couples with conception without going straight to invasive steps—I plan everything keeping in mind their prakriti, vikriti, emotional state, stress load, food pattern, and more. I don’t just treat “symptoms.” I go after what’s pushing the body out of sync in the first place. Treatment plans usually include herbal support, dinacharya suggestions, ritucharya alignment, and therapeutic meds from classical texts... all personalized, nothing random. And yeah, I do include some gentle panchakarma or supportive therapies when needed, but only if the body is ready for that stage. I give a lot of importance to timing n patient's real-life routine—no point giving great herbs if the woman has no time to cook or rest or follow it. Right now, I’m offering online consultations too—because honestly, many women can’t travel for every small thing but still need guidance they can trust. I make sure my consults are slow enough to really hear what the patient is saying. Each session ends with clear, realistic suggestions—not just a list of 10 tablets n hope. My aim? To support long-term balance n confidence in women’s health through care that’s both wise and workable. I want women to feel in charge again—not confused, rushed or unheard. That’s the space I try to hold.

I am someone who genuinely believes healing doesn’t just start with medicine—it starts with a calm space, quiet attention, and feeling actually seen. When a patient walks in, I don’t just jump into symptoms. I listen, slowly. Watch how they speak, what they don’t say, where their energy feels stuck. As an Ayurvedic practitioner, my focus is always to understand the full picture... not just dosha or disease label, but what’s going on underneath it all. I approach each case with patience, n yeah—sometimes that means the consult takes a bit longer. But I’d rather go deep than just give something quick that won’t hold. Whether it's chronic fatigue, disturbed sleep, hormonal shifts or digestion issues, I always look for root-cause through Ayurvedic principles—agni, srotas, dhatu state, lifestyle and even emotional buildup. I don’t treat everyone the same. A herbal mix that works for one person with acidity might totally imbalance another. That’s why I personalise everything—right from food guidance to yoga suggestions to basic daily routines. And I’m careful with panchakarma too... it's powerful, but timing matters a lot. If someone’s mind is agitated or body feels too depleted, rushing into detox is actually harmful. That kind of awareness comes from watching, not just reading. In my space, I try to keep things soft and unhurried. No one’s rushed in or rushed out. Patients should feel respected, not just treated. I’ve seen how emotional calm supports physical recovery more than any medicine alone. I guide with compassion and simplicity—explaining why, not just what. Even when I work on tough conditions, like anxiety-driven insomnia or long-term skin disorders—I focus on restoring balance without overwhelming the system. The goal isn’t quick fixes, it’s long-lasting, inner steadiness. Ayurveda gives us all the tools—we just need to use them thoughtfully, with heart. That’s how I practice, and that’s the kind of care I try to offer everyday.
