Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 6

I am someone who kinda learned Ayurveda not just from books but by actually sitting with ppl and figuring out what their body is trying to say — even when it’s not obvious. I started off as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Arya Hospital in Hubli, where I got thrown into all kinds of cases… chronic stuff, digestion, stress-related complaints, thyroid shifts, skin flare-ups, and yep, those odd symptoms that don’t neatly fit anywhere. I was doing full-on diagnostics, planning out classical treatments, sometimes tweaking them depending on the person’s prakriti or their day-to-day routine which was often way off-balance. That’s where I kinda started understanding how lifestyle disorders grow quiet n slow, until they don’t. I tried to not just treat symptoms but guide people on how to *stay out of that loop.* Later, I moved to Sitaram Ayurveda — that’s where things shifted deeper for me. I worked as a Panchakarma specialist there and it was hands-on in the truest sense. Every day I was working with people going through full Panchakarma cycles — not just textbook versions but real, messy, layered human experiences. I had to custom-design therapies — Vamana, Virechana, Basti, whatever suited the imbalance, depending on what season it was, how depleted the person felt, how long the condition stuck around. It taught me patience, and not to expect neat results in 3 days. You gotta give the body time to process, flush, rebuild. Now when I plan treatments, it’s never just about a herb or oil. I pull together everything — Ayurvedic diet planning, routine corrections, marma logic when needed, panchakarma only if it’s really needed — and try to find *that* spot where healing becomes sustainable. It’s not perfect but I aim for long-term correction, not just short-term comfort. That’s where Ayurveda feels most alive to me.

I am Dr. Akanksha Sharma — an Ayurvedic doctor by degree, but honestly the real learning came from people walking in with stories way messier than the textbooks said. I studied at Himachal Pradesh University, and right from those early days I kinda knew I’d lean toward women’s health — not sure why at first, but over time it just made sense. PCOS, PMS stuff, acne that just doesn’t go, weird cycles, fatigue that keeps creeping in — it’s all connected. And Ayurveda actually *gets* that kind of connection, which is why I stuck with it. I started Aarogya Vatika not to “run a clinic” but to have space where healing could slow down a bit. Like, no one-size plans, no blind detox routines... just clear, slow, honest care. That’s where I bring in classical Ayurvedic therapies — yes, herbs and dosha balancing and all that — but always mixed with real-life stuff people *can* follow. Diet tweaks, small rhythm shifts, herbal combos that don’t wreck your gut... the idea is sustainability, not overwhelm. Hormonal regulation through Ayurveda is kinda my thing now — whether it’s delayed cycles, mood swings tied to periods, or even the peri-menopause fog that just throws life off. I also work a lot on skin issues, especially stress-led ones — pigmentation, flare-ups, unexplained dullness. And digestion, of course. Honestly most things start from there anyway. What matters to me most is that my patients feel heard. Like really heard. That’s why prakriti analysis is not just a formality in my consults — I use it to help them understand how they *work*, why their body responds the way it does, and how they can actually support it without fighting all the time. I don’t claim to fix everything fast. But I do care about getting the root cause right, even if it means slowing down or reworking the plan. Ayurveda doesn’t rush — and neither do I.

I am Vd. Shital Kukade, a BAMS grad and right now doing PG in Kayachikitsa — that's basically the branch of Ayurveda that deals with internal medicine. Been practicing for about 3 to 4 years now, and in that time I’ve come across all kinds of health conditions — chronic stuff, new-age lifestyle issues, and those vague un-diagnosed patterns people walk around with for years. My core focus? Conditions like infertility, vaatvyadhi (which covers things like joint degeneration, nerve-related troubles), sthaulya (obesity), and those daily-life type issues that slowly eat away at mental and physical balance — like sluggish digestion, no energy, disturbed sleep, mood shifts. I work from a classical ayurvedic lens — meaning I try to trace things back to the root, not just patch the surface. Like, if someone has infertility, I don't just jump into treating the hormones — I look at agni, dhatu levels, manasik factors too. For lifestyle disorders, my approach usually combines herbal meds, Panchakarma therapies when needed, food mapping, and daily routine adjustments — nothing rigid or extreme, just sustainable. I really believe Ayurveda shines not only in curing disease but in restoring rhythm — like setting a person back into their natural groove. Prevention is big for me too. Right now, in my PG journey, I’m going deeper into the diagnostic subtleties of nadi, mala-pariksha, even mental constitution reading. Clinical exposure during this period has been super diverse — and that keeps sharpening my lens. Every case feels like a layered puzzle, and honestly I like that challenge. I don’t rush people through — I sit, I listen, sometimes just observing tells more than symptoms do. It's slow, sure... but it works when done right.

I am mostly working in Ayurvedic diagnosis n chronic care these days — feels like that's where my mind keeps going back anyway. I rely a lot on Nadi Pareeksha, Prakriti analysis, and other classical tools to figure things out... like, not just *what* the disease is, but why it's even showing up in *that* particular person. That part always kinda fascinated me more than just symptom-matching. You listen, you touch the pulse, you observe – and sometimes things make sense in a way no lab report ever really shows. I try to keep the treatment plans very individual, which can get slow at times, not gonna lie... but then Ayurveda doesn’t really work in shortcuts, right? Whether it's diabetes, thyroid issues, stress headaches, digestive stuff or weird skin conditions that come n go, I focus on understanding doshic imbalances and deeper cause rather than just managing flare-ups. It’s not just about herbs or ghee preps or Panchakarma either — though those help — but about building some long-term balance back into their daily rhythm. Worked with folks across different stages — from lifestyle messes (which are most common now tbh) to more systemic or psychosomatic stuff. I tend to mix therapies like Virechana, Basti, or Shirodhara with diet tweaks and practical advice that they can actually follow in real life... like if someone's doing night shifts, I won’t go around telling them to wake up at 5am for Surya Namaskar lol. Gotta keep it real. Also, I do try and spend time explaining the “why” part of things to patients — about Tridosha, what foods might be tipping them off balance, or why constipation’s not just a small problem. Prevention's a big part of what I focus on, like how to live in tune with seasons, or how to not let work stress ruin their gut. I'm not here just to give a lehyam or churnam and send them off. If they don’t feel seen or understood, it doesn’t help them heal anyway.

I am practicing Ayurveda for about 2 years now — feels short when I say it like that but honestly these 2 years have been pretty packed. Right from the start, I got drawn into deeper parts of diagnosis, especially Nadi Pareeksha. That subtle, layered pulse reading method, it just clicked with me. Not like I got it all at once — took time, patience, lot of trial and error (still do sometimes). But I kept learning, adjusting, sitting longer with each patient till the patterns started making more sense. I worked as a Senior Ayurveda Vaidya in Slovenia for a bit — that was different. Patients there asked different kinda questions, had a diff mindset toward healing. I liked that, made me think more before suggesting the usual. We dealt with chronic issues mostly, lifestyle stuff, digestion gone weird, anxiety-type things, hormonal ups n downs. Ayurveda kinda opens up in such cases... if you're willing to listen. Since then I’m running my own Panchakarma clinic in Hyderabad. A smaller space but I feel more grounded there. Mostly I focus on internal medicine through Kayachikitsa — gut disorders, skin stuff, fatigue, even long-standing conditions like thyroid imbalance or migraines. Each case comes with its own history, layers. I don’t go by quick fixes. That’s not how Ayurveda works anyway. Sometimes I spend more time explaining than treating... which feels necessary. Oh also, I was given the Best Ayurveda Doctor Award in 2010 — before I fully stepped into independent practice. That did gave me some confidence early on. But mostly I just trust the process now — diagnosis, herbs, detox, lifestyle tuning, and consistency. That’s where healing kinda starts showing up.

I am Dr. C. Srinivas. been with Ayurveda for a while now — practicing, managing clinics, sometimes doing both at once honestly. Right now I run my own Panchakarma setup in Hyderabad. Small team, focused space, but we do solid work. Before this, I was a Senior Ayurveda Vaidya at Vaidya Nithi Panchakarma & Wellness Centre in Slovenia (ya, Europe!) and that phase was kinda eye-opening... treating people from all over, diff constitutions, diff expectations, some came straight from allopathy, some were already deep into alternative paths. Helped sharpen my skills a lot, esp. in figuring out the right approach without overdoing it. One thing I’ve leaned into more over time is *Nadi Pareeksha*. Not just as a tradition, but as a seriously accurate way to catch what’s off in someone’s system — sometimes before they even finish talking. It’s not magic, but it does feel kinda intuitive once you’ve done it a few thousand times. I’ve seen it help big time in cases where symptoms were all over the place, or chronic stuff no one could pin down. Whether it’s digestion, hormones, sleep, whatever — once we see the root, the treatment gets way more precise. Herbs, therapies, routine tweaks — all that starts to make real difference. Also, I had a stint at Baidyanath Life Sciences as Senior Head of Ops. Whole other world there — big systems, daily ops, wellness planning for high volumes. Lot to learn managing things at that scale, and it did make me better at how I run my own clinic now. Not just medically but logistically too. I’m kinda always working on keeping it real — using classical Ayurveda but making it click for ppl today. Whether that’s through Panchakarma, herbs, or just teaching someone how to eat/sleep better — I don’t think any of it works unless the patient gets *why* we’re doing it. That’s what I try to bring into every case I handle.

I am someone who kinda grew into Ayurveda slowly at first—like I finished my BAMS in 2020, and while that gave me the basics, I knew I needed to go deeper. I went on to do my MD in Kayachikitsa, wrapped that up in 2025. That phase really shifted things... Kayachikitsa isn’t just internal medicine — it teaches you to see the entire person, not just organs or symptoms. And honestly, that’s how I like to work. Whether it’s metabolic problems like obesity or diabetes, or long-drawn autoimmune stuff, or gut issues that just don’t go away—each case feels different when you actually *look* at the root cause, not just throw meds at symptoms. During MD, I worked a lot with chronic lifestyle disorders — like stress-linked breathing problems, hormonal mess-ups, low immunity, fatigue cycles. Some were tough to crack. That’s where the Panchakarma protocols + herbal formulations really mattered, but also… just listening to the patient’s story and figuring out what their body actually needs, not what a textbook says it *should* need. My treatment approach is super practical — I combine classical Ayurvedic therapies with modern diet support, stress routines, and ya, plenty of trial-error till we get the balance right. I don’t believe one-size-fits-all works here. And maybe that’s why even after MD, every patient still teaches me something. I keep refining the way I plan individualized chikitsa — based on prakriti, triggers, mental load, season, everything. Right now, most of my clinical interest lies in helping ppl manage things that feel “stuck” — like chronic skin, digestion, or hormone problems where nothing gives long relief. I try to bring clarity into that chaos. And yeah, sometimes it’s slow. But if we do it with commitment, Ayurveda really gives results that feel stable, not just quick-fix. That’s what I try to offer in my practice — not just treatment but a kind of deeper reset.

I am someone who got deep into Ayurveda during my MS at Patanjali College & Hospital, Haridwar. That place really shaped my clinical understanding — not just through books but by actually seeing how people respond to therapies in real life. My main focus is on treating eye and ENT disorders... stuff like vision problems, sinus issues, ear-related troubles — and honestly, ayurveda gives us solid tools to manage these if done the right way, step by step. But over time, I also started working more with women facing PCOD, hormonal imbalance, fertility challenges — and that sort of became a second core area for me. It's not just about giving medicine, right? These cases need long-term care and trust. Hormonal systems are delicate, and ayurvedic approach can bring results when we go deep into nadi, agni, dosha status etc, not just symptoms. I'm also pretty drawn to skin cases — whether it’s pigmentation, acne that just doesn’t go away, or eczema types that flare up randomly. What I try is to find what’s underneath all that, the root doshic shifts, and use classical herbs, panchakarma and lifestyle support to restore some kind of balance — not overnight, but in a real sustained way. My training taught me not to rush, but to listen to how each patient body reacts. I try to mix internal meds, oil therapies, detox methods, and habit change... and yeah, sometimes small shifts make big difference. Most of the patients I work with are managing chronic issues — meaning they tried diff things before and either got temporary relief or not much at all. I take that seriously. I don’t promise quick cures but I do focus on giving every case proper time, a full analysis, and a path that suits *them*, not some textbook plan. Helping someone sleep again, or breathe better through nose after months of blocked sinuses — these things matter a lot. That’s what keeps me going tbh.

I am someone who got to learn ayurveda not just from books but right from the treatment rooms of District Ayurveda Hospitals across Ernakulam, Malappuram and few other regions too. During my internship, I worked closely under senior vaidyas, and that hands-on time really made me see how theory translates to real patient care. There were days with heavy OPDs, and I had to manage cases ranging from mild digestive issues to stubborn joint disorders – all of that really shaped how I think as a doctor now. Over the years, I got more comfortable dealing with things like low back ache, knee pain, female infertility, hairfall, lip pigmentation (which is becoming quite common now btw), and also certain mental health situations where ayurveda offers quiet support but people don’t always notice it. My approach is mostly about figuring out what’s actually causing the trouble, not just stopping the symptom. Once I know that, I use whatever is needed – Panchakarma, choorna, herbal lepas, ahara-vihara adjustment – all that in a way that fits the patient’s real life, not something too idealistic they can’t follow. Especially with conditions like infertility or mental unrest, it’s not just physical, right? I try to hold space for that full picture, even if the answers aren’t always immediate. I’ve seen how small lifestyle tweaks done consistently can change outcomes, more than just piling up medicines. One more thing – I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all cure. Two patients with same diagnosis might need completely opposite line of treatment, and I try to keep that in mind everytime. Ayurveda is wide, but subtle too.. and that’s where real healing can begin if we’re patient with it. Honestly I still learn from every patient who walks in. And I like to keep refining things, because health isn’t static – neither is treatment.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with more than 10 yrs of clinical practice, and honestly those years taught me more than any textbook could. In this time I have consulted thousands of patients — somewhere between 4000 to 5000 — each one different in prakriti, habits, and the way disease manifests. That variety made me realise that Ayurveda is not just about a standard recipe of herbs, but about reading the person infront of you and then planning therapy that really suits. My main area of work is joint disorders. I spend a lot of time with patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cervical or lumbar problems and other degenerative conditions that make daily movement painful. Many of them come after trying multiple treatments, and I focus on not only giving relief but also improving mobility, reducing stiffness and slowing degeneration. Panchakarma, snehan-swedan, and targeted herbal formulations are tools I use daily, but each case needs a little tweaking depending on dosha imbalance and strength of patient. I also give a lot of attention to women’s health issues — PCOD, infertility, irregular cycles, obesity linked to hormonal imbalance. Working with these patients makes me more aware of the emotional strain that comes along, so I try to combine chikitsa with diet guidance, simple yoga, and lifestyle counseling. Over time I saw many women regain confidence in their body when cycles became regular or conception happened naturally, and that remains one of the most satisfying parts of my practice. Respiratory diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergic coughs, also skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, and metabolic disorders such as fatty liver are areas I manage regularly. Again my method is always root-cause oriented — nidana parivarjana first, then chikitsa planned step by step. Sometimes it is just diet correction that makes a big shift, sometimes long-term internal medicines are required, but always with close follow-up. Through all this, my commitment is simple: help patients find balance and live with less pain and more vitality. I want every treatment to be authentic, safe, and sustainable, keeping alive the true essence of Ayurveda while fitting into modern life.
