Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 57

I am practicing Ayurveda for over 26 yrs now and honestly, it's been more of a life path than just a job for me. Right from the start I’ve been running my own private practice, treating all age groups—kids with digestion issues, adults with stress n fatigue, elderly folks struggling with chronic pains. But somewhere along the way, women’s health kind of became my center. For the past 4 yrs, I’ve been working deeply with gynecological disorders like PCOS, hormonal problems, irregular periods, menopausal swings... and using tailored Ayurvedic treatments that focus not just on symptom control but longterm cycle balance. I also worked at Cummins Megasite in Phaltan for 3 years, as the go-to female doc. That job opened up a lot—handling wellness issues in working women, lifestyle-linked stuff, menstrual discomforts, even emotional health. I’d consult on diet, stress handling, Ayurvedic prevention… all that while making the care feel non-clinical, more natural, approachable. Another thing I’ve done a lot of is treating knee osteoarthritis. Really seen so many cases where mobility improved just with proper panchakarma + internal herbs. You know, once pain comes down and joints loosen a bit, patients actually start walking better without depending on heavy meds or even thinking about surgery—which is amazing to see. And now since last 3 yrs, I’ve added online consultations too—through Parasnath Clinic. It helps patients who’re far or can’t travel. Whether online or in-person, my way remains the same: listen carefully, understand prakriti, treat fully, and help patients trust their own body’s healing. That’s what Ayurveda taught me... and that's still what guides me each day.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a little over 5 years in clinical practice and honestly, I still feel like every patient teaches me something new. I didn’t just get into Ayurveda by chance—it started with this quiet fascination with how deeply it connects body, mind n lifestyle. Over time that grew into a solid commitment to help ppl manage chronic issues and prevent future imbalances using a system that’s, well, old but really timeless in its logic. I work a lot with digestion-related probs, arthritis, stress-linked conditions, PCOD, menstrual irregularities n metabolic stuff like early diabetes or thyroid irregularities. My thing is to keep the diagnosis rooted in classical tools—like proper Prakriti-Vikriti analysis—but also make sure that the treatment fits into the patient’s everyday life. What’s the point if someone can’t follow it, right? Most of my plans are a mix of Ayurvedic herbs, detox (Panchakarma when really needed), some real talk about diet (Pathya rules do matter!), and nudging ppl gently into habits that their body-type actually needs. I’ve seen that when ppl start getting their doshas, they’re not just more compliant—they actually feel in control again. And that feels important. I also like to keep communication simple and to the point—no heavy Sanskrit unless someone wants to go deep into that. Just clear understanding, both ways. I want ppl to feel safe in my clinic, to feel heard, and to know that their issues aren’t “too small” or “too late” for Ayurveda. I guess over time that clarity and honesty helped me build trust with a lot of patients from diff walks of life. My learning hasn't stopped—I attend workshops and training updates often, esp around newer challenges where lifestyle is messing with body rhythms big time. But the core of my work hasn’t changed—stay authentic to the classics, keep things doable, treat the cause not just chase the symptom. Ayurveda’s slow, but it’s not weak. That’s something I remind ppl often. If we listen, the body knows how to fix itself—we’re just there to guide it right.

I am into Ayurvedic practice since 11+ yrs now, and honestly, it's the mix of govnmt & private setups that really shaped how I see treatment—especially for women’s health. Started out in the Chhattisgarh Health Dept as a Medical Officer, where I saw a whole range of stuff—from routine cold-fever to deep hormonal issues. But over the last 3.5 yrs I’ve been narrowing my work toward gynaecological conditions. PCOD, menstrual delays, infertility, irregular cycles… kinda became my core focus. What I really try to do is understand *why* the issue is happening—like really look into the root, not just surface symptoms. Ayurveda helps with that. I use panchakarma therapies when needed, mostly for detox and resetting balance. Also I rely a lot on classical herbal formulas and some diet + routine tweaks that actually make sense for the patient’s life—nothing extreme or unrealistic. Each woman’s case is diff—some come with years of failed fertility plans, some have sudden hormonal shifts they can’t explain. I sit with them, take time to trace it back—prakriti, agni, past meds, even emotional stuff. There’s no quick path but I believe long-term wellness comes from restoring the body's own rhythm. Not from suppressing things again and again. I see Ayurved as not just a treatment option, but a way of returning women to their natural balance—where fertility flows, periods aren’t a monthly crisis, and health feels sustainable. My aim? Just safe, honest, practical healing that actually lasts. Nothing fancy... just what works.

I am deeply drawn towards women’s health because I see how often it gets pushed aside or treated only at surface level. In my practice I try to bring Ayurveda and modern gynecology together, not in competition but as two parts of same goal—better health for women across every stage of life. My main focus areas are menstrual disorders like PCOS, PCOD, painful or irregular cycles, heavy bleeding or amenorrhea. I also work closely with infertility cases, supporting ovulation regulation, improving uterine health, and guiding couples through natural Ayurvedic infertility management. Pregnancy care is another big part of what I do. Through *Garbhini Paricharya* (antenatal routines) and *Garbhasanskar*, I support both mother and fetus with safe herbs, diet corrections and lifestyle guidance. I also spend time with postnatal mothers, where *Sutika Paricharya* helps in faster recovery and better lactation. Later in life, menopause and hormonal shifts need careful handling too—bone strength, mood changes, hot flashes—all areas where Ayurveda gives gentle yet effective care. Procedures are also part of my work, like *Uttar Basti* for infertility and uterine disorders, *Yoni Pichu* and *Yoni Dhawan* for local issues like dryness, infection or irritation. I combine these with classical Panchakarma therapies like Virechana and Vamana when needed, to restore hormonal balance and cleanse the system. For me it’s not only about giving a therapy but also helping women understand what is happening in their bodies and how small changes in diet, stress handling, or sleep can change everything. Counseling plays a big role—because many health issues are tied with lifestyle and emotions. End of day, my specialization is holistic women’s healthcare—preventive, promotive and curative. Whether it’s fertility, pregnancy, or menopause, I want to create space where women feel safe, informed and empowered. Authentic Ayurveda, modern insight, and patient-centered care—that’s the mix I stand for, even if the path is not always simple or stright.

I am a BAMS doc—yeah, trained in classical Ayurveda but also someone who’s constantly figuring out how to actually *apply* that in day-to-day modern health issues. Not just the theory part. I really got deep into patient evaluation, trying to listen beyond symptoms, you know? Like... what’s under all that indigestion, those random joint pains, energy dips, skin flareups—where’s it really coming from? I mostly work with chronic stuff—digestive problems like IBS kinda patterns, acid reflux, sluggish gut... plus hormonal swings, PCOD, thyroid-related shifts, stress-related fatigue, even weight gain that doesn’t respond to typical diets. And a lot of musculoskeletal issues too—backaches, frozen shoulders, joint stiffness that’s been lingering for years. I try not to treat the issue in isolation—like it’s not “just gas” or “just hormones.” It's a system thing. Diagnosis is a big part for me. I take time with pulse, prakriti analysis, sometimes even just observing how a person talks or sleeps or reacts to food. Treatment’s where I get a bit geeky—herbal meds of course, but I like building combos based on *that* person. I often mix classical formulations with fresh herbs or local substitutions depending on climate, digestion strength, and age. Panchakarma comes in mostly when I feel toxins have piled up—though again, not always the full-blown versions. Some just need light virechana, some only abhyanga & rest. I also do diet counseling, and I don’t mean generic lists—I really try to make food a healing tool for *that* dosha imbalance. Like, I’ve seen plain rice kanji help more than 5 meds when gut fire is too weak. Same with daily routine—I help people build tiny shifts that reset the body clock n digestion without stressing them out. My goal’s pretty simple—I want folks to *understand* their body again. Not fear it. Not suppress symptoms endlessly. Ayurveda gives us that—a way back to balance, naturally and gradually. I just try to walk with patients in that direction.

I am someone who kinda stumbled into preventive cardiology at first—honestly didn’t expect to enjoy working in that space *that* much, but during those 3 years at Madhavbaug Cardiac Clinic, things shifted. I worked there full-time as a Preventive Cardiologist, and it wasn’t just treating numbers on a BP chart or ECG readouts. Most ppl who walked in had hypertension, ischemic heart conditions, or early-stage heart failure. But behind all of that, there was always more—bad sleep, zero movement, high stress, wrong food cycles… lifestyle traps basically. What we did at the clinic was try to catch things before they spiral. I’d use classical Ayurvedic formulations & therapies—like proper panchakarma plans, not just token detoxes—plus diet protocols crafted for each cardiac profile. I also got into disease-specific yoga routines... mostly focused on circulation, breath retraining, and vagal tone stuff. And yeah, used modern diagnostic tools throughout—labs, ECGs, treadmill tests when needed. That combo really worked. It helped ppl feel like they're doing something active for their heart, not just reacting to fear or meds. Over time I got better at spotting patterns early—seeing how metabolic chaos connects to long-term damage. Whether it was pre-diabetes showing up in lipid panels or someone with chronic acidity + high stress turning up with erratic BP, you just start seeing the threads. Those cases taught me how big a role education plays too—like if a person doesn’t *get* what’s happening inside their body, they won’t stick to changes. Now in my own practice, I still go back to that same model: listen close, start slow, focus on root-cause & let Ayurveda do the rebuilding part. The big learning from Madhavbaug? That chronic cardiac issues don't always need high-intensity treatment. Sometimes they just need the right kind of steady pressure—on food, on thoughts, on habits—to ease the load on the heart and let recovery start.

I am someone who still think about my 12-month rotatory internship days now and then ‘cause that phase really shaped how I see things in practice. My internship was split across three places—each one very different, and in its own way, kinda overwhelming too. At SAMCH Indore, I was mainly involved in Ayurved treatment protocols, and I remember sitting through back-to-back OPDs, learning how each dosha can actually show up in very diff ways in diff people. It wasn’t just textbook—real patients don’t behave like diagrams, you know?? Like this one guy had skin issues, but turned out the problem was rooted in his digestion. That sorta thing really make you look deeper. Then at Govt. District Hospital Rewa, it was more general stuff—crowded wards, rushed rounds, real-life emergencies that don’t give time to think twice. We had to act fast, even with limited resorces. I used to feel nervous before entering the gynae ward but day-by-day, I started finding confidence. Got exposed to deliveries, minor procedures, and a lot of patient interaction—some good, some not so smooth either. KN Hospital was a smaller setup, but I got to see a more balanced rhythm there. Less pressure than Rewa, but also more chances to sit with seniors and ask silly questions—without being judged!! And sometimes those silly questions actually gave me bigger learnings. It’s funny how much you remember from the quieter days too.

I am working in OPDs quite regularly, doing many consultations over the years and treating a wide range of patients with different kinds of health concerns. Some days it’s a mix of acute cases that need quick relief – like seasonal fevers, digestive upsets, sudden skin reactions – and other times it’s the slow, ongoing management of chronic diseases that require a lot of follow up. In Ayurveda, each patient is more than their diagnosis, and I try to keep that in mind in every consult. When I meet a patient, I don’t just look at the symptoms on the surface – I ask about their diet, daily routine, stress, sleep patterns, even the things they think might not be important but actually are. That’s where you often find the root cause. My treatment plans usually combine classical Ayurvedic formulations, diet and lifestyle changes, and sometimes Panchakarma or other therapeutic procedures depending on what’s needed. Working in OPDs also means dealing with a high patient flow, so I’ve learned to assess quickly without losing detail, and make sure each person still feels heard. I’ve treated people with lifestyle disorders, hormonal imbalances, gut-related problems, skin diseases, joint issues, and many more conditions – and each case teaches me something new about how differently bodies can respond even to the same treatment approach. For me, the real goal is not just to reduce symptoms but to help the patient build a foundation for long-term health. Whether it’s someone walking in for the first time or a regular follow-up, I try to make sure they leave with a plan they can actually follow, and a better understanding of their own health. That’s the part I find most rewarding in my practice.

I am Dr. Shayma Kabeer — mostly working with Ayurveda, women’s health, nutrition n postpartum care. I don’t really seperate these things out tbh, cause in real life they always overlap. Like, you can't treat hormonal issues without looking at digestion, or talk skin without figuring out the stress-eating that’s happening quietly on the side. That’s kinda how I approach care—connect the dots before jumping to herbs or meds. My focus is usually gynecology-related probs... PCOS, irregular periods, thyroid imbalances, all the hormonal chaos that shows up when diet, sleep, and mental load go sideways. I see a lot of young women stuck in cycles of fatigue, weight fluctuation, emotional dips—Ayurveda actually gives a slower but deeper toolkit to work with that. I do a lot of assessment through dosha lens, nadi, agni state, even simple daily habits. Infertility is another space I work in—again, not in a rush-to-conceive mode always, but more like preparing the system... checking if the cycle is syncing, digestion’s on track, sleep is stable. It’s the inner rhythm that matters more than just hormone reports. Same with postnatal care—I support new mothers with wound healing, lactation, nutrition, n mood swings, cause honestly, recovery doesn’t just mean uterus shrinking back. It’s about rebuilding vitality gently. I also specialize in Ayurvedic nutrition—like building food plans for gynec issues, postnatal nourishment, or weight stuff that’s tied with metabolic funk. It’s not about rigid diet charts.. I prefer daily doable changes, seasonal tweaks, emotional food awareness. I often include skin/hair health too, cause that's where ppl feel stuck or self conscious first. Ayurveda is flexible when you know how to listen. That’s what I keep learning. Every pt has her own rhythm, n I try to hear it right—even if she doesn’t have the words for it yet.

I am working as a general physician right now at Amar Polyclinic in Kiwale, Pune—and honestly, the journey to this point’s had its ups and lot of learning curves. I started off with my internship at NKJAMC, Bidar, where everything felt new and intense—early mornings, tons of patient interactions, figuring out how to not just read symptoms but actually listen to them, if that makes sense. That place really laid the ground for how I now approach primary care. Not just as "treat and discharge", but more like—understand the person behind the symptoms. After that I spent 2 years at Vishwa Hospital. Busy setup, lots of OPD and IPD flow. That’s where I really started feeling comfortable managing day-to-day stuff—chronic cases, infections, basic diagnostics, but also just... connecting with patients better. Then came Woodland Hospital, a smaller stint but with higher complexity. 1 year there exposed me to critical cases—emergency medicine, complications, things that needed quick decisions but calm hands. Honestly, kinda shaped my reflexes. But I’d say the real game-changer was Medicover Hospital, Hyderabad. Spent 4 years there, full-on exposure to multidisciplinary work. Working with specialists, handling referrals, managing both acute and chronic illnesses—diabetes, cardiac issues, asthma, viral fevers, whatever came thru the door. Patient load was heavy, which meant I had to stay sharp, trust my judgement, but also know when to refer or dig deeper. Also learned a lot about evidence-based practice there—using protocols, keeping up with newer updates. Now at Amar Polyclinic, my practice is more grounded. It’s about community care. People walk in with fevers, BP, sugar, gastric stuff or just confusion about meds—and I try to be that first point of clarity. I make it a point to explain things in simple words, share preventive advice too—not everything needs a prescription, right? Lifestyle matters. I focus on that a lot—specially with lifestyle diseases or seasonal problems.
