Dr. Bhakti D. Kapdi
Experience: | 4 years |
Education: | J S Ayurved Mahavidyalay |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working in Ayurvedic dermatology and trichology stuff these days—kinda where my intrest settled naturally. I deal with things like eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, urticaria, fungal issues, acne.. honestly skin keeps showing up in all kinds of ways. I use Shodhana, Rasayana, or sometimes just plain Shamana chikitsa, depending on where the person’s at and their history. Some cases need strong detox first. Others? Not always.
My trichology focus is mostly around hair fall, early greying (which weirdly a lot of young ppl come for), alopecia areata, and scalp inflams. I create customized herbal blends & internal protocols based on their prakruti and history—like no copy-paste plans. I’m also into para-surgical stuff like Raktamokshan (therapeutic blood letting), Nasya therapy for chronic sinus-linked skin issues, and a bit of Marma chikitsa too when pain or nerve stuff overlap.
Since I’m from Agad Tantra dept., toxicology awareness is also something I naturally bring into plans. Like watching for hidden triggers like cosmetics, food or meds. I try to blend classical wisdom from texts with new diagnostic insight—it's not always smooth but def adds clarity to tough cases. Sometimes I wish ppl came sooner before using too many creams n antibiotics, but then again, that’s part of the job right? Meeting them where they are & working ahead from there. |
Achievements: | I am currently doing my M.D. in Agad Tantra from ITRA, Jamnagar—ya the same institute ppl usually talk about for deep ayurvedic study. Before that I did my BAMS from JS Ayurved Mahavidyalaya, Nadiad. I also got selected for the R.A.V Gurukul Fellowship by Ministry of AYUSH which felt huge tbh. Got to train directly under Vaidya Pranav Dave sir in Kayachikitsa... the way he connects shastra with real clinical work really stuck with me. That whole experiance still shape how I approach my practice now. |
I am currently doin my M.D. in Ayurveda with specialization in Agad Tantra (yeah the toxicology+forensic branch) from ITRA, Jamnagar — honestly one of the toughest but most respected places to learn this stuff. While that’s my core dept, what really drives me is working on skin n hair-related issues using Ayurveda. Like chronic eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, hair loss, dandruff, greying – I’ve kinda made it my zone. My clinical focus usually circles around combining classical approaches like Raktamokshana (bloodletting), Nasya (nasal meds), and even Marma therapy, with what today’s diagnostics offer. This kinda hybrid model — where I use tools from modern medicine but treat through ancient principles — just feels more solid, more real to me. There’s a weird satisfaction in watching a complicated case settle when Shodhana or Rasayana kicks in at the right time, even after they’d tried everything else before. Not all cases work like that tbh but when it clicks, it really does. I follow concepts like Dosha-Dushya theory, Chikitsa Sutras and I try to stick close to what texts say while tweaking it to fit the person in front of me. I believe in digging deep before just handing pills. And when I say personalized, I mean fully custom—down to diet, lifestyle advice, or whether they need snehana first or straight to virechana... there’s a lot of that mental juggling during consults. Outside the clinic, I stay involved with academic meets and seminars whenever I can manage time between rotations. I’m not the loudest in the room but I do enjoy those clinical case forums, esp. when we discuss real-world success/failure—not just textbook patterns. I'm hoping to eventually contribute more toward how skin and trichology are understood in Ayurveda without losing the soul of the system. It’s early days, I know, but this direction feels right for now. Maybe that’ll change in future, who knows. But for now this is where I wanna be.
