Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 57

I am currently in my 2nd year of postgrad residency in Prasuti Tantra evam Stree Roga (M.S. in Obstetrics & Gynaecology) at a reputed ayurveda institute in Pune. Right now, my whole day pretty much revolves around clinicals, OPD rounds, IPD work, deliveries, and understanding how Ayurved looks at women's health—not just disease by disease but as a full, connected system. It’s intense but also kind of amazing how much we can do with the right combination of classical knowledge n present-day tools. My focus is on menstrual disorders, infertility, PCOD, antenatal/postnatal care and basically all things that come under hormonal balance n reproductive care. Whether it’s irregular periods or low back pain in 9th month, I try to see the root, not just the label. I’m also involved in Panchakarma protocols—mainly tailored for stree roga—and yeah, sometimes even simple procedures like yoni pichu or basti when done right can make a big shift. That’s something I’ve seen in real time. I work closely with seniors on both clinical diagnosis and designing personalized treatment plans—always thinking about prakriti, vikriti, and also the woman’s mental n emotional space. No one’s just a “PCOD patient” to me—each one has her own story, her own rhythm, and I respect that. I like combining shodhan therapy, aahar advice, rasayana, and sometimes just small daily tweaks. Yoga and breathing practices also play a big part in how I support my patients. Doesn’t matter if they’re 16 or 46—every stage brings its own set of changes, n we need to adapt with care. I also learn to correlate modern diagnostics when needed—blood reports, scans—bcz integration matters. My aim isn’t to pick between Ayurved or modern—it’s to choose what helps her the most in that moment. My goal is to create a space where women feel heard, guided and supported—whether they’re trying to conceive, dealing with pain or just wanting to feel more in sync with their own body again.

With over 16 years of dedicated clinical experience, I specialize in managing both chronic and acute health conditions through the lens of classical Ayurvedic medicine. My core areas of expertise include the holistic treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, where I integrate traditional Ayurvedic principles with individualized therapeutic strategies to support long-term developmental improvement and behavioral balance. I hold a strong specialization in Panchakarma therapy, a cornerstone of Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation. I have successfully administered tailored Panchakarma protocols to a wide range of patients dealing with lifestyle disorders, autoimmune conditions, digestive imbalances, and hormonal dysfunctions. This approach allows me to restore doshic balance, enhance immunity, and promote overall well-being in a safe, natural, and sustainable manner. Throughout my practice, I remain deeply committed to understanding the root cause of disease rather than simply addressing surface-level symptoms. I believe in developing personalized treatment plans that align with each patient's unique constitution (Prakriti), life circumstances, and health goals. My consultations often include a blend of herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox procedures, dietary counseling, and lifestyle adjustments, designed to offer long-lasting results without side effects. Working closely with patients of all ages, especially children with neurodevelopmental challenges, I have seen the profound impact that consistent Ayurvedic care can bring—improving focus, reducing anxiety, and enhancing quality of life. My goal is to empower patients and their families through informed guidance, compassionate support, and effective, evidence-based Ayurvedic care. I strive to uphold the integrity of Ayurveda while adapting its time-tested wisdom to meet the health needs of the modern world.

I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

I am someone who's always kinda drawn to how Ayurveda can actually reset the body. Like not just mask stuff with meds but really go to the root. That’s what made me pursue my postgraduation in Panchakarma from Govt Khushilal Ayurved College in Bhopal. The training there was intense, very hands-on, really helped me get confident in doing therapies the way they're meant to be done—not diluted or shortcut. Panchakarma just makes sense to me. I see it not just as a detox process (though that too), but more like a system reboot—when done right, it clears out the junk at all levels. I work with protocols that include Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshan.. based on a person's prakruti, symptoms, and how deep the dosha imbalance has gone. I won’t lie—sometimes it takes time, but when you see someone who’s struggled for yrs start to feel light again, that’s everything. I try not to overdo medicines.. like if we can correct digestion and routine, half the problem gets easier anyway. I also mix diet planning and daily habits into treatment—helps ppl feel involved and not just passive patients. I do lot of work with chronic conditions, especially things like arthritis, PCOD, IBS, and those stress-load cases where nothing shows in scans but the person’s not okay. I guess that’s where I feel Panchakarma really shines—it connects all the dots. What drives me mostly is making these therapies practical. No complicated rituals or outdated stuff that ppl can’t follow. I explain things in a way that’s real, and adapt treatment for their lifestyle without diluting the core science. That’s kinda my zone—authentic Panchakarma, but made doable for now. If you're genuinely lookin for root-level care and are open to working with your body instead of just supressing things, then I feel we might click.

I am someone who always kinda leaned toward natural healing methods, yk, stuff that connects with the whole body-mind thing. That’s how I ended up diving deep into Ayurveda and Acupressure—both just felt right. I work closely with people who aren’t just looking for a quick fix, but really want to understand what’s going on inside. I usually mix Ayurvedic diagnosis with marma & acupressure points, and sometimes throw in simple Yoga too when it fits the person’s need. Nothing flashy, just whatever makes sense for the case. What I really focus on is treating the root of a disease—not just masking the symptoms with meds. In fact, I try to keep meds minimal unless totally necessary. Most of my treatment plans rely on understanding someone’s prakriti and how their habits are affecting it. And yeah, a lot of healing comes from helping people get their daily routines back in balance—basic stuff like food, sleep, stress-handling and digestion—but trust me it works! My work often feels like coaching ppl back into rhythm with themselves. I do a lot of preventive work too. Early signs, dosha imbalances, digestive issues—they all give hints before bigger things happen. That’s where I come in with small, consistent shifts rather than aggressive treatments. Most of my patients come with chronic stuff or unexplained fatigue, hormonal swings or aches they just can’t figure out. We sit, we talk, sometimes long, and together we build a plan that’s simple and doable—no extreme diets or impossible schedules. Also I’m a Certified Garbhasanskar Coach which means I support women during their pregnancy—emotionally, mentally, physically. These sessions are special. It’s more than just herbs or food charts... it’s about helping a woman carry not just a child, but peace, strength, & joy. I work on everything from diet and yoga to calming practices and fetal bonding.. This part of my practice really fills me with a diff kind of energy. Whether you're feeling stuck with a chronic thing or just need a new approach to health, my goal is to help you reconnect with your natural healing power. not through shortcuts, but through real, honest, grounded care that respects both your symptoms and your story.

I am an Ayurveda practitioner, still kinda early in my journey—about 6 months into hands-on clinical practice—but honestly, these few months have taught me more than any textbook could. Working closely with seniors who actually live Ayurveda daily gave me the push to really understand what goes beneath the doshas n symptoms. I mean sure, there’s a treatment for almost everything, but figuring out why it’s happening in that person... that's where it gets deep. Right now, I’m managing all sorts of cases—common cold, acidity, skin stuff, hormonal things—and what I always try to do is look at the root cause instead of just patching the surface. Like if someone keeps getting acne or constipation again n again, I don’t want them living on churnas forever. I focus a lot on diet advice, making tiny daily routine shifts, sometimes asking them to tweak sleep or even screen time (esp the younger ones—they don’t like hearing that!!). I genuinely believe Ayurveda isn’t just medicine—it’s a way to help people feel seen, not just fixed. That’s why I talk a lot to my patients. I try to listen more, ask questions that don’t sound robotic, y'know? Trust matters. If they trust you, they’ll actually follow your dinacharya tips or try that bitter decoction you recommended. I’m particularly drawn to preventive medicine—like how Ritucharya and Dinacharya can save people from needing heavy meds later. Sometimes just telling someone to change their oil, or eat seasonally—makes a difference!! Still have loads to learn honestly, but I’m open to it all... research, long cases, chronic conditions, and just doing better each day with what I know. Ayurveda has this rhythm... and I guess I’m learning to move in sync with it, patient by patient.

I am still in the early stages of my Ayurvedic journey—just about 6 months in, but honestly these few months have been super eye-opening. I got the chance to handle a bunch of different patient cases under seniors who really knew their stuff. That daily exposure slowly sharpened my clinical judgement, especially in applying classical Ayurvedic concepts to real life conditions, not just textbooks. I try not to just give symptom-based relief, that feels incomplete to me... my aim’s always been to figure out what’s causing the imbalance in the first place, like why this person, this time? I usually rely on personalized treatment plans. Like, depending on the prakriti, agni, ama-level and all that. I also keep checking their lifestyle, food habits and stress patterns—makes a huge difference. Dinacharya and Ritucharya really help set a strong base. I’m kind of drawn to preventive care a lot, maybe 'cause it's empowering, idk... but I find that when people understand their body better, they heal better too. Another thing I care a lot about is making sure my patients feel heard and safe. Whether someone has acidity, PCOS, or is just not sleeping well, I want them to trust that I’m with them in that healing space—not just dishing out dosages and leaving. I try to keep communication open, even if that means repeating the basics again n again... Honestly, I don’t claim to know everything. Still learning a lot. I keep reading, attending lectures or case-discussions when I can. And yeah, every case still kinda challenges me, which I like. I feel like each new patient adds something to my own growth too. At this point in my practice, what matters most to me is offering care that’s honest, rooted in Ayurvedic principles, and actually helpful without being overwhelming. Whether it’s a skin rash or chronic fatigue, I look for the subtle cues and try to guide people back to balance—gently, patiently, sustainably.

I am someone who kinda walks the line between modern surgery and traditional Ayurved… which, yeah, can get tricky sometimes but also makes things really interesting. My focus is general surgery, like the regular stuff—hernias, gallbladders, appendix problems, breast lumps, liver issues, pancreatitis, and all those classic conditions people don’t wanna deal with till they really have to. I also end up treating a fair bit of GI cancers and complications around the rectum n’ anal canal. Not always pretty work but someone’s gotta do it right? What’s different in my approach maybe is that I try not to jump into cutting if I don’t have to. I lean toward conservative care whenever possible—like really pausing to ask: does this need surgery right now, or can we manage this in a way that avoids it altogether? When surgery is needed, I go for precise planning, clean technique, and solid post-op care. But then again, I don’t stop at that. I work a lot with chronic lifestyle problems—diabetes, BP, thyroid—all that stuff that creeps up slowly and quietly wrecks the body if you don’t catch it early. Ayurveda is the anchor of what I do, even when using modern tools. I use Panchakarma therapies pretty often, especially in post-op recovery and in people who come to me feeling stuck or exhausted by years of symptoms with no real improvement. And I do try to minimize medicine overload—many times people are just drowning in prescriptions. You clear the junk, the body kinda starts to heal itself. I was also lucky enough to do two research studies with CCRAS under the Ministry of AYUSH, and that really pushed me into thinking deeper about how to combine evidence-based thinking with age-old Ayurvedic logic. Research didn’t make me “smarter” per se, but it did help me see patterns clearer, and also respect the data side of things a lot more. At the end of it, my goal is long term balance. Not flashy transformations, but real recovery. You don’t need a dozen pills or huge life overhauls always. Sometimes small tweaks done consistently—that’s what makes the real shift. I’m here to help patients figure out what those tweaks look like for them, step by step, at their own pace.

I am working in the space of Marma therapy since the past 5+ years, and honestly the deeper I go into it the more I realize how underrated this science is!! My work’s mostly centered around helping people reconnect with their body’s natural healing using marma chikitsa—not just as a treatment, but like a whole experience. These vital energy points, when stimulated right, can shift a lot—pain, stiffness, nerve issues, even stuff you didn’t think was linked, starts to shift. I work a lot with musculoskeletal conditions—like joint immobility, frozen shoulder, cervical stuff, backaches, and also sports injuries or slipped disc-type of nerve compressions. Sometimes just working the pressure point opens up movement, and you don’t always need pills or heavy treatment lines. I try to reduce dependance on medicines as much as possible unless really-really needed, cause Ayurveda always says, nidan parivarjan is the first step. My sessions always go beyond just the therapy table—I talk diet, daily routine, what their lifestyle actually looks like, and make tweaks that fit them. Like, no copy-paste plan, coz everyone’s prakriti is so different, right?? This root-cause approach helps not only with healing but also that long-term balance people are usually missing. I really believe Marma therapy has this ancient power to reset people, especially in times where stress and chronic fatigue is just everywhere. My aim is to revive it in a way that fits modern life—clean, simple, but rooted. And yeah, while I’ve seen results, I also keep learning from every case—some days you think you know the whole protocol and then boom, a patient shows you something new. That’s the beauty of this path.

I am Dr. Snehal Bhagwat Patil and yeah, I’m basically an Ayurvedic doctor with postgraduation in Kayachikitsa—that’s internal medicine, the deep stuff. I did my PG from one of the top Ayurveda institutes in Maharashtra, and honestly those years shaped how I see healing... it wasn't just textbook learning, we actually lived Ayurveda in the wards, in OPDs, everywhere. Now with about 3 years of full-on hands-on practice, I try to keep that same clarity and depth while treating people in the real world. I work mostly with chronic and lifestyle-driven issues—stuff like acidity, IBS, diabetes, asthma, anxiety—where symptoms tend to overlap and linger. And instead of just controlling those symptoms, my thing is always going to the root. What’s actually going on behind that bloating or fatigue or whatever? That’s what I wanna know first. From there I create a plan—usually a mix of classical herbal meds, detox therapies like Panchakarma, diet tweaks, sometimes even just helping people fix their daily routine which, trust me, often makes a huge difference on it’s own. I’m not too rigid about just doing things the traditional way though. I’ll check lab reports, I’ll correlate your Vata-Pitta-Kapha story with your blood sugar trends or whatever it takes to get it right. Ayurveda doesn’t need to be old-school to be real—it just needs to be true to its roots, and adapted smartly to modern living. That’s really the goal for me. Help people take back charge of their health using what Ayurveda already told us—about digestion, sleep, food, stress—all the stuff we often ignore until we can’t. And I try to make that doable, practical... not just preachy. Whether someone’s coming in with migraines every week or years of skin rashes or just that weird tired-all-the-time thing—I'm here to listen, connect dots, and treat—not just with gyan but with actual relief that sticks.
