Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 59

With over two decades of experience as an Ayurvedic physician, I have dedicated my life to restoring health through the principles of classical Ayurveda. My clinical practice spans 20+ years, during which I have gained deep insight into the practical application of Ayurvedic therapies and formulations. I have developed a strong understanding of various Ayurvedic brands and medicines, enabling me to design highly personalized and effective treatment protocols for my patients. My special areas of focus include managing and improving outcomes in chronic conditions such as arthritis, Type 2 diabetes (NIDDM), and even reversing early cases of insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) under strict Ayurvedic care. I also have extensive experience in treating skin disorders, infertility, and other metabolic and autoimmune issues. My approach is rooted in balancing the doshas and addressing the underlying causes rather than just the symptoms. I strongly believe in a holistic treatment plan that incorporates internal herbal medication, external therapies, lifestyle counseling, and dietary guidance. Over the years, I’ve seen encouraging results in cases where conventional treatments had limited impact, especially in chronic joint disorders and hormonal imbalances. My practical experience has taught me the importance of correct medicine selection, dosage, and the timing of therapies — all of which play a critical role in patient recovery and long-term health. Patient care for me is not just about prescribing; it's about listening deeply, understanding individual needs, and using the wisdom of Ayurveda to support the body’s own healing capacity. Whether it’s a complex chronic illness or a lifestyle-related condition, my goal is to guide each patient toward sustainable wellness using time-tested Ayurvedic practices.

I have dedicated the past 5 years to specializing in the field of Ayurveda, where I focus on providing holistic and patient-centered care. During this time, I have gained valuable experience in diagnosing and managing a variety of acute and chronic health conditions using authentic Ayurvedic principles. My approach to treatment is deeply rooted in understanding the individual constitution (Prakriti) of each patient, allowing me to tailor therapies that not only address the symptoms but also correct the root cause of illness. I am committed to promoting health and well-being through a combination of Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, diet regulation, and lifestyle modifications. Over the years, I have seen the profound impact that Ayurveda can have on improving quality of life, managing lifestyle disorders, and achieving sustainable health goals. My goal is to continue offering compassionate, evidence-based, and result-oriented Ayurvedic care to help patients regain balance and lead healthier lives.

I began my professional journey as an intern doctor at Ashwini Ayurvedic Medical College and Research Centre, Tumkur, where I gained valuable hands-on clinical experience for one year. During this period, I actively participated in patient care, diagnosis, and Ayurvedic treatments under the guidance of senior physicians, which helped me develop a strong foundation in Ayurveda. Currently, I am working in clinical research at Vidal Health, where I contribute to evidence-based studies aimed at improving Ayurvedic and integrative healthcare outcomes. My role allows me to combine traditional Ayurvedic knowledge with modern clinical research methods, enhancing the credibility and effectiveness of holistic treatment protocols. I am passionate about deepening my understanding of Ayurveda and its application to modern-day health challenges, and I am committed to using this knowledge to benefit my patients through well-researched and personalized treatments.

I am currently working in the field of Ayurveda as both a consultant physician and a production expert in Ayurvedic pharmacy. This dual role allows me to contribute meaningfully to two crucial aspects of Ayurvedic healthcare: patient-centered clinical care and the precise, ethical preparation of Ayurvedic medicines. As a consultant, I offer guidance based on classical Ayurvedic principles, focusing on individualized diagnosis, dosha assessment, and constitution-based treatment plans. I believe that effective healing begins with a clear understanding of the root cause, and I strive to provide personalized solutions that are safe, practical, and aligned with each patient’s lifestyle and needs. In the pharmacy setting, I work hands-on with the formulation and production of Ayurvedic medicines. I ensure that every product is manufactured according to authentic Ayurvedic texts (Shastra Siddhanta) while maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficacy. My expertise includes raw material selection, formulation development, processing techniques, and quality control—all critical to ensuring that patients receive pure, potent, and effective medicines. This experience in Ayurvedic medicine production has deepened my understanding of herbal pharmacology and the importance of Samskara (processing) in enhancing the therapeutic potential of each formulation. I also collaborate with product development teams to create innovative yet traditional remedies suited for present-day health challenges. By integrating clinical insight with production expertise, I aim to uphold the integrity of Ayurveda in both practice and product. My work is driven by a passion for authentic healing and a commitment to delivering safe, effective, and evidence-informed Ayurvedic solutions for better health outcomes.

My practice integrates the time-tested principles of Ayurveda with a strong focus on individualized care. I specialize in Nadi Pariksha, an ancient diagnostic technique that allows me to assess imbalances at a deeper level through pulse examination. This forms the foundation of my treatment approach, ensuring precise and personalized therapies for every patient.

Alongside Panchakarma, I am also trained and experienced in Viddha Karma (therapeutic bloodletting) and Agnikarma (thermal cauterization therapy), which are particularly effective in treating musculoskeletal pain, joint disorders, neurological conditions, and localized inflammations. Over the years, I have seen significant clinical success in managing a wide range of disorders, including digestive issues, skin diseases, autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, respiratory illnesses, and stress-related conditions. My approach is rooted in classical Ayurvedic wisdom, complemented by modern patient needs—aiming for long-term wellness rather than symptomatic relief. Patient education and empowerment are central to my consultations. I believe in helping individuals understand their prakriti (body constitution) and vikriti (imbalances), enabling them to make sustainable lifestyle changes. I remain committed to continuing Ayurvedic education, regularly updating my skills to offer the best possible care. My journey as an Ayurvedic physician is deeply fulfilling, and I strive to make traditional healing accessible, effective, and compassionate for every individual who walks into my clinic.
