Dr. Shivam Ghanshyambhai Joshi
Experience: | 12 years |
Education: | Institute of Teaching & Research in Ayurveda |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Philosophy in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am someone who sees healing way beyond just herbs or prescriptions. My work kinda flows from this idea I call Chaitanya Sangrah—sounds a bit abstract maybe, but really it means healing with awareness... like being fully present in how we look at illness, behavior, food, breath, thoughts. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but not as fixed formulas—I sort of shape them based on the person sitting in front of me. Everyone carries a different life, and their disease shows up diffrntly too.
I deal with all kinds of chronic & lifestyle-related problems—mental unrest, metabolic imbalances, fatigue syndromes... but I don’t just jump into medication. A lot of what I do starts with understanding their prakriti (constitution), how they breathe, how they eat when they're not hungry, or speak without thinking. These “little” things are big clues. And yeah, pranayama, diet rewiring, even emotional reset—it’s part of the toolkit I use to help rebalance.
Sometimes I even look at how language itself can heal or harm. Like, how someone talks about their illness says a lot about where they’re stuck. I just listen deeply & align therapy from there, using Ayurveda, rasayana, and sometimes barely a single classical herb—just a shift in how they relate to themself. Healing’s not linear, but when done consciously, it’s powerful. That’s where I try to hold space. |
Achievements: | I am someone who never really chased medals for the sake of it, but yeah—I did end up securing university rank every yr during my studies, kinda surprised me too honestly. I just liked diving deep into the texts, figuring out why things work in Ayurveda not just what. In postgrad I got a gold medal which still feels surreal. Guess it reflects the kind of focus I bring when I’m treating patients too—sharp, grounded, always learning even when I think I know. Discipline in books kinda shaped my clinical eye too. |
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.
