Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 61

I am working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Yogitha Clinic in Surathkal right now—where I mostly focus on giving proper one-on-one consultations and helping patients actually *understand* their condition before we even begin any treatment. I don’t just go by symptoms alone. Most times, the real issue is deeper, and that’s where classical Ayurveda helps... reading dosha imbalances, agni variations, or how lifestyle & diet slowly pushed things out of sync. Here, I deal with all sorts of conditions—lifestyle disorders like diabetes or hormonal stuff, joint and muscle pains (a lot of back/neck/knee complaints these days), chronic digestive issues, skin flareups, long-standing fatigue types... It’s not just about giving churnas or oils and sending people home. I try to figure out their constitution first, prakriti-wise, see what diet pattern might be wrong, check if there's any ama buildup or if they need Panchakarma cleanup. Sometimes just correcting routine, sleep and *how* they eat helps more than any medicine. That’s honestly true for many city-based patients who come with stress layers, screen-related sleep mess, etc. I use Panchakarma often, but only where I really feel the system needs it—not every case needs full detox. I also try to keep my approach practical. Like yeah, texts talk about ideal conditions but in real life, not everyone can do strict pathya or 2-hour morning routines. You’ve to work *with* people, not overwhelm them. I do my best to stay rooted in classical teachings, but I also keep reading new Ayurveda research when I get time (which is not often with clinic hours). My goal is pretty simple—I want treatments to work in a real-world setting, be safe, non-addictive, and actually lead to some long-term relief. Not just symptom-patching. Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m explaining things too deeply or too less, depends on the person sitting across. But I try to listen carefully—because half the diagnosis, I feel, is just in their story.

I am someone who’s been doing this for over ten years now—working with Ayurveda not just as a system of medicine but like, a way to actually listen to what the body’s trying to say. Most of what I do centers around prakriti-based diagnosis. I don’t believe in rushing straight to treatment… I usually take time to understand the patient’s nature, diet habits, sleep cycles, mental state, even how they react to weather—yep, even that matters. Because unless we see the full picture, how can we know what’s really off? A lot of people come to me with long-term digestion issues, like bloating or gas that’s just part of their daily routine now. Or they show up after years of dealing with skin flares or mood stuff and don’t even expect much change anymore. That’s where Ayurveda gives hope—when you go deep with nadi pariksha and proper dosha mapping, it’s not just guesswork anymore. I try to make protocols that are super-personalized… I’m talking about herbs dosed just right, food combinations that support digestion, and routines that match their real life—not some fantasy textbook plan. I also work a lot with people who are kinda stuck in lifestyle diseases—pre-diabetes, obesity, thyroid stuff, or stress burnout. Honestly, these aren’t just physical. They’re years of patterns built up, and my job is to untangle that gently using diet shifts, Panchakarma only when it fits, and routine recalibration. And yeah, half the time, patient education is the actual medicine—when they finally get why that oily snack at night’s making their mind foggy the next morning? That’s when change begins. My approach leans heavily on dinacharya, ritucharya, and just keeping things natural but consistent. I’m not here to impose Ayurveda—I try to make it livable. Accessible. Because when someone really starts feeling balanced again… when their skin clears or digestion calms or periods normalize—that’s what reminds me why I chose this path. Nothing fancy. Just steady, grounded care that works over time. And that’s what I keep showing up for.

I am working as a Resident Doctor (R3) in Rog Nidana dept at ITRA, Jamnagar, and honestly the clinical exposure here is intense... like we don’t just read about Nidan Panchaka—we use it every single day on actual patients. It’s kinda fascinating how the pulse, tongue, eyes, stool, voice, etc. can give such layered insight if you really look close (and ask the right questions—sometimes that’s harder than it sounds). We combine all that with labs, USG, CBCs, ESRs too. Bridging ayurveda & pathology is something I’m getting deeper into each day. My main interest really revolves around understanding chronic & systemic stuff—like autoimmune and gut-related issues. I like figuring out patterns, especially where modern & Ayurvedic findings overlap. During my postings I got a lot of chance to see such cases where vata-pitta involvement was obvious clinically but tricky to catch in reports, or where symptoms didn’t fit in neat textbook boxes. That kind of ambiguity makes diagnostics way more meaningful and yeah—challenging too. I’ve also learned the importance of Prakriti and Rogi Pariksha—it’s not just background info, it affects everything, like how the patient’s gonna respond, what they tolerate, or how slow/fast they'll shift with treatment. That part still keeps surprising me. Outside IPD/OPD rounds, I’m also involved in case discussions, seminars and internal audits, which actually help solidify what you learn in real time. We debate tough cases, swap interpretations, pull up classics for guidance... it’s not always neat, but that’s where the learning sticks. Anyway I guess what I’m trying to do is stay rooted in Ayurvedic diagnosis while still open to the usefulness of modern tools. Whether it's nadi or Hb%, I think both got something to say. My aim is to use them together for more tailored plans that actually fit the patient rather than just the disease name.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this whole space by walking the traditional path first—like the real one. I spent around one and a half years at Shri Vishwadhyaas Ayurved Clinic learning directly under Dr. Anuj Jain, and that whole Guru-Shishya parampara thing? It wasn’t just symbolic for me. That time seriously grounded me—taught me how to think clinically and not just follow textbook lines. Right now I’m running my own practice—Shri Nirvaan Ayurved Clinic and Panchakarma Centre—and have been doing that solo for about 2.5 years now. Each patient I see, I don’t just hand over meds and hope it works out. I go deep into Nidan Pariksha and really try understanding what's goin on at root level before offering anything. Diagnosis needs to be precise, otherwise the whole thing starts wrong yk? My treatment involves custom Ayurvedic meds, proper Panchakarma (I don’t believe in shortcuts there), changes in ahar-vihar, and where needed, support for mental/emotional health too. Over time, I’ve seen a whole range of stuff—digestive mess ups, hormonal swing, chronic joint pain, weird skin things, PCOS, stress burnout—and each time I come back to samprapti vighatan as a starting point. Break the chain, and half the symptoms ease out naturally. What kinda keeps me goin is watching folks who’ve tried everything else finally feel seen here. Like really heard. And then watching their system slowly come back to center, not instantly but deeply. Ayurveda’s got that rhythm—it doesn’t force, it restores—and I keep trying to hold space for that. My approach’s still evolving tbh, I learn something new in nearly every case. But I’m clear about one thing—I want to keep this classical framework alive, without making it sound outdated or difficult. Just want people to experience what true Ayurvedic care actually looks n feels like.

I am an Ayurvedic Gynaecologist and Obstetrician with a little over five years in clinical practice, focusing almost entirely on women’s health from teenage years right through to menopause. Most of my day goes into working with PCOS or PCOD, irregular periods, infertility issues, fibroids, heavy bleeding, and pregnancy care—each one needing its own kind of attention. I use a mix of time-tested Ayurvedic therapies, herbal medicines, and lifestyle guidance that’s practical enough for patients to actually follow. For two years I also worked as an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Ayurvedic Gynaecology & Obstetrics, where I was guiding students while still learning a lot myself. Teaching forced me to keep diving into classical texts and also stay updated with current clinical practices, which now helps me balance tradition with more evidence-based approaches. That blend is important when you want results that last, not just temporary fixes. My clinical approach is about finding and treating the root cause—whether that’s hormonal imbalance, poor digestion, chronic inflammation, or lifestyle patterns that silently fuel the disorder. Diet (ahara), daily habits (vihara), Panchakarma detox when needed, and emotional support are all part of the plan. Sometimes a simple change in routine makes as much difference as any medicine. I also work with women facing endometriosis, menopausal symptoms, and recurrent miscarriages. Pregnancy care is close to my heart, because guiding someone from pre-conception through to safe delivery and recovery feels like being part of a journey that matters beyond just medicine. I try to keep my consultations open and non-judgemental, giving women the space to talk about things they might hesitate to share elsewhere. My goal is to make Ayurvedic gynaecology not just about “ancient wisdom” but about real, modern-day solutions that still respect the depth of tradition—so women can feel heard, supported, and genuinely healthier for the long run.

I am an Ayurveda consultant who’s been into clinical work for like more than 10 yrs now, and honestly—every patient still teaches me something new. My work kinda revolves around gynecology, skin issues, general medicine, kids' care, n fertility probs. I use a mix of classical Ayurvedic chikitsa, herbs, panchakarma & a lotta diet counseling to get long-lasting results, not just some short-term fix. In gynecology, I’ve worked with hundreds of women facing PCOS, irregular periods, hormonal issues, fertility delays, etc., and most of the time it’s not just physical. I look into doshic imbalance, agni, even emotional triggers... use personalized protocols with herbal meds, uterine detox (Yoni pichu, basti when needed), and hormone-balancing ahar-vihar. I’ve managed over 500 cases in this area—each one different, each one needing its own path. I also work on chronic skin diseases a lot, esp. eczema, psoriasis, acne. For those, I usually go deep into gut and liver cleansing—Virechana, herbal lepas, and internal meds—no two plans are same, coz skin’s like a mirror, right? Pediatric-wise, I deal with immunity-building, digestion issues, recurring infections in kids... I use gentle meds, swarna prashana, massage therapy, sometimes just changing the food patterns helps big. I try to not overpromise—ayurveda takes time, but when done right, it gives real change. I blend classical knowledge with a lil modern understanding of physiology so patients feel heard and seen. Not every day is smooth, but I stay honest to my path, keep learning and adapting... coz health isn’t one-size-fits-all and neither is healing.

I am working in Ayurveda for a little over 3 years now—maybe not a huge number but it’s been deeply involved, like really hands-on. I didn’t just want to give general advice or throw herbs at symptoms. From the beginning, I’ve tried to understand *why* something’s happening… that root-cause logic in Ayurveda made a lot of sense to me. Whether it’s stress-related issues, digestion probs, or some long-pending joint pain, I focus on tracing back to the dosha imbalance, faulty lifestyle or diet behind it. Mostly I treat a mix of chronic and acute stuff—PCOD, acidity, constipation, skin allergies, headaches, periods going off-track, fatigue types, those things that don’t always look serious at first but keep coming back and messing life up. Joint issues too, esp. lower back stiffness or knee pain in 30s-40s group. Sometimes even teenage acne cases come in and I end up treating the gut instead of just prescribing external creams. I think that's what I love most about Ayurvedic approach—it’s all interconnected. I follow Prakriti-based personalization, like observing how the person sleeps, eats, what time digestion goes off etc. That helps me set a clearer protocol. I use diet plans (nothing extreme), herbs, classical formulations when needed, & recommend dinacharya/ritucharya patterns for prevention n balance. It’s not one-size-fits-all, & honestly, no patient story ever feels same. I also encourage ppl to ask questions n be part of the plan—not just follow. I keep referring back to classical texts regularly—Ashtanga Hridaya mostly—and I like re-reading cases to learn from them. Still lots more to figure out, but my aim has always been to offer healing that’s long-lasting, not just quick-fix types. I guess the main thing is just giving ppl space where they feel understood... that’s where healing kinda starts.

I am a general physician and surgeon—means I’m usually somewhere between diagnosing tricky symptoms and actually stepping in when surgery’s needed. My background is grounded in solid internal medicine. I handle acute stuff like infections or injuries, but also long-term conditions, metabolic things, stuff that needs monitoring. I don’t just hand out meds, I try to *understand* what's going on beneath the surface and where it might be headed if ignored. Surgery? yeah, that’s part of my practice too. Minor procedures mostly—done enough to know that precision isn't just about technique, it’s about timing, safety, and really knowing what that patient needs before & after. It’s not just “cut and done”. Post-op care matters. Even a small mistake in that can set things off balance. I’ve learned to watch the little signs, adjust plans fast, and keep follow-up tight. Whether it’s outpatient visits or emergency work, my aim is usually the same—catch things early, avoid escalation, help the patient feel like someone’s paying attention for real. I work closely with preventive care too. If I can help someone avoid a hospital stay through a few lifestyle corrections or early intervention? That’s honestly a win. I believe in talking straight. My patients should know *why* we’re doing what we’re doing. No vague talk or keeping people in dark. Open conversations help people make the right calls—not just for now but long run too. That’s one thing I always push for: keep them in loop. Medicine keeps shifting—new research, updated guidelines. I do try to keep learning constantly. Not just for the sake of it, but ‘cause protocols change. Techniques improve. I don’t want to be the guy who sticks to old ways just 'cause it's easier. That’s lazy, honestly. In the end I just try to treat the whole person not just the lab reports. And whether someone walks in with a swollen leg, a fluctuating sugar level, or vague chest pain—I take it seriously, every single time.

I am Dr. Bhavana S. Gaitonde, and my core training is in Dravyaguna Vignana, which I studied postgrad from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research in Bengaluru. That phase was intense but grounding... learning the actual behavior of herbs, their rasa, virya, vipaka, and how they shift when processed differently—it completely changed how I looked at treatment. This field—Ayurvedic pharmacology—isn’t just about matching herb to disease. It’s about tuning the medicine to the patient’s prakriti, current doshic state, and where they are in their healing curve. I’m mostly drawn to chronic cases where long-term plant-based support can make a real difference—people dealing with inflammation, gut issues, immunity lows, skin conditions, even mental fog—stuff that often goes ignored or masked with quick fixes. I try to make my plans gentle but effective, working with both classical formulations and raw herbs if needed. But I always check whether it aligns with patient’s agni, season, and life context. That matters more than the textbook. My education was grounded in theory but also lot of clinical exposure—we actually handled raw herbs in class and discussed latest plant research in real time. That mix helped me feel confident not only in traditional texts but also in how those herbs behave in today's world, with modern diseases and lifestyles. One part I enjoy (maybe even more than expected?) is explaining herbs to patients. Like, not just “take this powder,” but here’s why it’s helpful. I believe healing’s stronger when ppl understand what they’re taking into their body. I also guide on pathya–apathya (diet & lifestyle rules), daily routine tweaks, and sometimes subtle things like how to time their medicines with meals or sleep. I'm always learning—going through new journals, staying active in forums, sometimes even just observing patient responses and making notes for next time. The goal for me isn’t just to fix disease, but to help ppl see herbs and routines as tools they can trust, not fear or ignore. Ayurveda has huge depth, and I just try to make it usable without losing the core.

I am an Ayurvedic consultant practicing in Pune for a little over three years now, and honestly those years taught me more than I ever thought at the start. My focus is always on authentic, classical Ayurveda – not just using a generic remedy but working out what the patient’s prakruti and vikruti actually is, and then building something that fits them. Most days I deal with people having lifestyle issues, long-standing pain, digestion that just doesn’t feel right, hormones out of balance or stress that creeps into everything else. Panchakarma is a big part of my work – not just as a detox but as a structured way to help the body reset and heal. I also use Agnikarma and Viddha Karma a fair bit, both very effective for joint pain, some skin cases and stubborn musculoskeletal problems. These para-surgical methods look simple but they require precision, and when done right, they can give relief that last months without needing heavy intervention. I always keep diet, daily routine, herbs, and sometimes yoga in the picture – because if someone goes back to the same habits that made them sick, the problem will come back no matter what. I prefer involving patients in their own care, explaining why I’m suggesting something rather than just handing a prescription. That way they feel in control, not just being “treated.” And while I stick to traditional principles, I do pay attention to clinical safety and evidence too – Ayurveda works best when we use it with both wisdom and care. My aim is simple really: to offer treatments that feel personal, make sense to the patient, and actually work in the long run, without pushing them into anything that’s not sustainable.
