Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 58

I am Dr. Dharmista Patel and i work in the field of Obstetrics & Gynaecology with a strong leaning towards Ayurvedic care—I did my Masters in Strirog & Prasuti Tantra and most of my practice is built around helping women find natural, balanced solutions to their health issues. I deal with a wide spectrum honestly… everything from the more common PCOD, infertility, fibroids, irregular cycles like oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, or heavy bleeding cases like menorrhagia… to some really serious conditions too like cervical cancer or breast abscess management using Ayurved-based protocols. Pregnancy care is also a big part of what I do. I provide full antenatal support and monitor high-risk cases—whether it's PIH, gestational diabetes, or amniotic fluid imbalances like oligohydramnios & polyhydramnios. My goal during prenatal treatment is always to help the mother feel confident and safe while making sure the baby’s development stay on track. And once the baby’s here, that post-delivery phase is huge—Sutika Paricharya helps a lot here. It's not just about herbs or massages—it’s like this whole structure of restoring physical stamina, mental calm, digestion, lactation… all of it. I find women recover better when you see the whole picture, not just the parts. My style is very case-based, not everyone gets the same treatment plan. I blend classic Ayurvedic tools with modern insights—sometimes counseling is needed, sometimes a diet fix changes everything. I also lean into lifestyle patterns—sleep, stress, even family environment when needed. I think women deserve to feel heard during treatment not rushed thru it… and I do my best to offer that kind of space. My focus stays on long-term health, not just quick symptom control. This blend of traditional care with modern understanding is what keeps me motivated. Women's health is complex. But with Ayurveda, we have these tools that are both gentle & powerful if used right—and I try to use them in a way that actually makes a difference.

I am a graduate in BAMS and MD Ayurveda from Government Ayurveda Medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru – a place that really shaped my way of looking at health and disease. Those years were not just about reading classical Ayurvedic texts but also handling real patients, real problems, and learning how theory meets the ground. The exposure to both traditional Ayurvedic wisdom and modern diagnostic methods gave me a balance I rely on every single day in practice. During my training, I worked on a variety of clinical cases – some straightforward, some so complex they made me rethink my own approach. That’s where I understood the depth of Shamana (palliative care) and Shodhana (detox therapies), and how combining them with simple but powerful lifestyle changes can shift a patient’s health completely. I’m not much into chasing symptoms away for a while… I focus on why they’re there in the first place. Every patient comes with their own story, and I try to make treatment plans that actually fit their life, not just look good on paper. Sometimes it’s about herbs and diet, sometimes more about guiding them to break small habits that slowly damage health. The aim is always authentic and ethical Ayurveda – nothing diluted – with long-term wellness in mind. I also believe strongly in teaching patients about preventive health, because the best treatment is the one you don’t need later. And even now, I keep studying, refining, and learning… because the more I know, the more I realise there’s always more to understand in this field. That’s what keeps my work alive.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with 11 yrs of hands-on experince in treating people using the classical ayurvedic approach. I mainly focus on chronic disorders—like skin diseases, high BP, Diabetes, and all kinds of Vat Vyadhis. Not just text book knowledge, but real-time patient care has shaped how I treat now. Sometimes it's the itching that don’t go, or that sugar level which just won’t stabalize no matter what they try—those are the people who usually land up at my clinic. And I get it. They’ve tried many things. I try to listen first, like actually listen, not rush them. Most of them feel seen after that. And that's already half healing rite there. My approach is very rooted in tridosha theory, but practical too. I’m not rigid—some cases need more diet, some need proper shodhan chikitsa, and some just need you to dig deep into their lifestyle & routines. I’ve worked on patients from diff walks of life, and trust me, each one teaches you something new. Vata disorders like arthritis, paralysis, or chronic pains—yeah those are tricky, but Ayurveda has tools for them, if we use them right. I like using basti, abhyanga and oral rasayana drugs depending on how the case presents itself. Not every patient gets the same line of treatment—no copy-paste method here. And in skin—psoriasis, eczema, urticaria—I've worked with many such chronic cases. My main idea is to reduce the root imbalance, not just give temporary creams or pills. Ayurveda for me isn't a job, it's kinda a way of looking at life. Everything is connected—your food, sleep, stress, digestion—everything. And my role is to just reconnect people back to that balance. I still feel like I’m learning every day. 11 yrs is a long time, but each person who walks in still brings something new to figure out. That’s what keeps me going.

I am a Ayurvedic physician and also certified nutritionist, practicing in Bangalore from more then 12 years. Most of my work revolve around holistic patient care, not just quick fixes. Ayurveda taught me to see every person as unique, their prakriti, their dosha imbalance, the lifestyle they follow, all this shape how disease show up. So I dont rely on generic treatment, I spend time with patients, listen to their story, do classical diagnostic methods like nadi pariksha, tongue, observation.. sometimes even small details guide the plan. Healing I feel start with listening more then prescribing. In my clinic I usually handle lifestyle disorder, chronic disease, hormonal ups n downs, digestion issues like acidity or ibs, skin troubles like psoriasis eczema, stress related problem, even anxiety and sleep issues. I work a lot with Panchakarma therapies when detox is needed, along with classical herbal meds, yoga suggestions and diet. Because I am also nutritionist I give practical advice on food, seasonal diets, mindful eating—patients like that it connect with real life and not only theory. Sometimes weight, diabetes, obesity come with lot of frustration, I try to simplify things, explain root cause and guide them step by step. Women health is another part of my work, irregular cycles, pcos, menopause, infertility cases. Here again I dont go for one formula, I combine Ayurved nutrition with herbs and therapy. Mental wellness matter equally, so breathing, daily routine, sleep, small changes that help mind calm, I use those along side medicines. I am not saying result always come fast, but when patients see body shifting naturally, they get confidence. Over years I had chance to work with diff kind of patients, teaching them about doshas, prakriti, body awareness. Many said they not only got rid of symptoms but also learned to live balanced. For me that is biggest achievement—not award, but when someone feel well and know how to maintain. Every case I see as chance to promote authentic Ayurved healing, sustainable lifestyle and real long term health.

I am an Ayurvedic practitioner who honestly just learned most things by *doing*—from being in clinics, talking to patients, figuring out what’s working and what’s missing. I had a full 1-year internship at Sri Sri College of Ayurveda where I was lucky to work closely with experienced vaidyas who didn’t just hand over theory but actually made me use it in day-to-day cases. From basic Nadi Pariksha to full-blown chikitsa planning, I got my hands into real practice early on, and that helped me build confidence fast. After that, I worked at AyurCentral and Swasthi Ayurveda Chikitsalaya—both for around 4 months. And those weren’t just observer roles—I was seeing patients, noting prakriti-vikruti, giving herbal med guidance, helping with panchakarma therapy plans, and a ton of diet/lifestyle counselling. Especially at Swasthi, I started connecting dots more clearly—like how pitta gets disturbed in certain patterns of stress + diet, or how subtle vata issues can be behind chronic complaints ppl don’t even realize are related. I also did a 5-day govt camp in Chikmagalur which honestly taught me more than any textbook. Treating underserved patients with limited tools, explaining Ayurveda to first-time users... that was humbling. Same with the 7-day camp in Manchinbele. It was long, tiring, but I saw so many different cases and realized how important it is to adapt—make a plan that works with *where* and *how* someone lives. My style is all about combining authentic Ayurvedic diagnosis (pulse, tongue, stool signs, all of it) with simple, practical plans. I don’t overload ppl with 8 medicines or confusing rituals. I believe healing happens when we meet the person where they’re at and make small steps that fit their life. I care about that—making Ayurveda make sense to real people. And I’m still learning, always. Every pt kinda brings a new question—and I actually like that part most. Keeps me grounded, keeps me sharp.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying my best to keep care real, grounded & genuinely helpful—ya know, not just follow some textbook protocol and move on. I’m currently working as an Ayurveda Medical Officer at a Govt hospital, which honestly gives me daily chances to meet people with all kinds of health issues. Digestive flareups, chronic joint pains, tough skin cases, weird lifestyle problems that don't always fit neat diagnosis boxes... I see ‘em all. And yeah, it keeps me on my toes. I focus big-time on identifying the root of the issue—not just patching symptoms. That’s kinda the soul of Ayurveda, right? I really dig into prakriti-vikriti assessments. Like, what's this person's baseline? What knocked it off? Whether it’s diet gone wrong, emotional stress, seasonal influence or just body going out of sync over years—I try to catch that. And then design stuff that fits them specifically. Not just some ‘one herb fits all’ thing. Mostly I lean on herbs, food corrections, small daily shifts... and yeah, Panchakarma too when needed, but only if it really suits the case. What I like most is when people start feeling seen. I do try to listen more than I talk—get their whole picture, not just what hurts. Explaining in plain language is super important to me. No one should leave confused or scared. I guess you can call that a counseling angle too? Maybe. Either way I want ppl to feel this is their journey, not just mine prescribing stuff. Ayurveda for me isn’t just a profession, it’s literally a way of seeing life and healing. I’m not against meds where needed, but I really do believe most healing starts before meds—starts with habits, mindset, food, even timing. My mission? Making Ayurvedic wisdom feel simple, practical, doable—even in a world that’s moving way too fast most of the time. If you're looking for someone who won’t just hand you a churnaa and hope for the best—someone who’ll try to understand where you’re really stuck and how to pull you gently out of it—then maybe we can work together. Would be glad to help you find some balance back.

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.

I am practicing Ayurveda for about 8 years now, feels strange saying that because honestly the learning never stops. My work is all about finding balance in the body, not in some abstract way, but literally working with each person’s unique prakriti and the vikriti they’re dealing with at that moment. I follow the classical principles — herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, diet corrections, lifestyle tweaks — but nothing is “one size fits all”. Each treatment plan is shaped by the person infront of me, their health history, and the small details you only catch when you really listen. Over time I’ve worked with people dealing with digestion troubles, joint pains, hormonal shifts, stress-related health dips, and even stubborn chronic stuff that didn’t respond much to other methods. My approach is to go for the root cause first, because treating just the symptoms feels like putting tape over a crack... it hides it for a while but doesn’t fix it. That’s also why I focus on prevention — if you stop the imbalance before it grows, you save a lot of pain later. I keep my learning alive by reading classical Ayurvedic texts and joining continuing education whenever I can fit it in (sometimes late nights with too much chai). And I try to pass that clarity on to patients, explaining why a certain herb or therapy is chosen, what changes they might notice, and how they can keep supporting themselves after treatment ends. For me, this is more than just work. It’s a way of living… making choices every day that keep the mind, body, and emotions in some kind of harmony. My goal is still the same as day one — offer care that’s authentic, safe, and actually works for the long run, while making sure the person feels heard and understood through the whole process.

I am mostly working with chronic bone and joint problems these last 3 years—stuff like arthritis, spondylosis, osteoporosis, and yeah, general joint wear-out that ppl kinda accept as normal with age (which isn’t). I try not to just stop the pain but really go after why it’s happening—Vata dosha plays a big role in most cases, especially in spine + knees, like seriously it messes up things faster than ppl realise. I’m trained in the classical Ayurvedic line of care—real text-based work, not watered-down stuff. That means I rely a lot on Panchakarma when needed, mostly Basti when vata’s all over the place, and sometimes Abhyanga, Patrapinda, or even mild internal Rasayana support if I feel the tissue depletion is worse than it looks at first. Patients who came with barely moving joints, stiff fingers, cracking knees—they didn’t just walk away better... they understood how lifestyle, food, and even stress were behind that chronic state. I make it a point to give clear, doable guidance on how to live day-to-day without pushing the body further into inflammation or degeneration. There’s this challenge where ppl expect results overnight and yeah, I won’t lie, sometimes it takes time. But when they stick with it, the change stays. That’s what keeps me grounded in this work—seeing ppl regain mobility or sleep pain-free after years... you feel it’s worth all that daily grind. Not saying I got all the answers, I keep refining. But I do trust that the system we follow, if applied rightly and not rushed or skipped—works. I guess that’s what I aim for: real, slow, steady recovery rooted in how Ayurveda meant it. No shortcuts, just actual healing where it matters.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with just over two decades in this space—Ayurveda and Panchakarma kind of became the center of my world early on, and honestly, they still are. I started with classical principles, didn’t want to cut corners or dilute what this system really offers, and over time that grounding helped me handle a lot of complicated, long-standing health problems people came in with—gut disorders, back pain that just wouldn't quit, weird energy crashes, chronic inflammation stuff, lifestyle burnout—you name it. Most of what I do now revolves around designing deeply individualized treatment plans. I don’t rush to fix just what’s visible. I work slow, dig deeper, talk through what’s happening inside, and build step-by-step healing plans with a mix of Panchakarma therapies, herbal formulations, food tweaks, sleep support, and simple breath or daily routines. My work usually starts with identifying the doshic imbalance, and then clearing ama or low Agni where it’s holding the system back. That clarity—getting to the why of the issue—is kinda what keeps my work interesting after all these years. The cool part is when a patient who’s tried literally everything else finally starts feeling shifts—more energy, less bloating, finally sleeping better, or their mind just feels quieter. That’s when it hits that okay, this slow-but-sure path still works. I also spend a good chunk of time explaining to each patient what’s going on in their system—not in textbook words, but real-world language. They get involved. Healing sticks better that way, I think. I’ve worked in both hardcore clinical setups and slower-paced wellness spaces. I do try to stay open to current health frameworks when they make sense, but my roots are firmly in Ayurveda. That balance between tradition and now—that’s kind of where I work best. And at the end of the day, all I really aim for is care that’s honest, effective, and helps people stay well—not just feel better temporarily.
