Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 61

I am working as a general physician right now at Amar Polyclinic in Kiwale, Pune—and honestly, the journey to this point’s had its ups and lot of learning curves. I started off with my internship at NKJAMC, Bidar, where everything felt new and intense—early mornings, tons of patient interactions, figuring out how to not just read symptoms but actually listen to them, if that makes sense. That place really laid the ground for how I now approach primary care. Not just as "treat and discharge", but more like—understand the person behind the symptoms. After that I spent 2 years at Vishwa Hospital. Busy setup, lots of OPD and IPD flow. That’s where I really started feeling comfortable managing day-to-day stuff—chronic cases, infections, basic diagnostics, but also just... connecting with patients better. Then came Woodland Hospital, a smaller stint but with higher complexity. 1 year there exposed me to critical cases—emergency medicine, complications, things that needed quick decisions but calm hands. Honestly, kinda shaped my reflexes. But I’d say the real game-changer was Medicover Hospital, Hyderabad. Spent 4 years there, full-on exposure to multidisciplinary work. Working with specialists, handling referrals, managing both acute and chronic illnesses—diabetes, cardiac issues, asthma, viral fevers, whatever came thru the door. Patient load was heavy, which meant I had to stay sharp, trust my judgement, but also know when to refer or dig deeper. Also learned a lot about evidence-based practice there—using protocols, keeping up with newer updates. Now at Amar Polyclinic, my practice is more grounded. It’s about community care. People walk in with fevers, BP, sugar, gastric stuff or just confusion about meds—and I try to be that first point of clarity. I make it a point to explain things in simple words, share preventive advice too—not everything needs a prescription, right? Lifestyle matters. I focus on that a lot—specially with lifestyle diseases or seasonal problems.

I am Dr. Krishna Sai, working as an Ayurvedic physician and currently an MD Scholar in Kayachikitsa at Sri Sri Ayurveda Hospital. My whole journey in ayurveda started with a strong belief that real healing is not just curing one symptom but restoring balance in body and mind together. During my studies I focused more on internal medicine—Kayachikitsa—which is the core branch of Ayurveda, and day by day I see how it really connects with chronic and lifestyle diseases that people struggle with now. I am trained in reading classical texts and also using practical diagnostic tools like Nadi pariksha, Rogi-Roga pariksha and proper dosha analysis. At the same time I dont ignore modern diagnostic methods, sometimes lab tests or imaging are also important, so I mix them when needed. That way each treatment plan feels more personal and not just some general formula. My approach usually includes herbal formulations, planned diet routines, panchakarma therapies for detox, and lifestyle advice that is practical not overwhelming. Over time I started to feel more interest in research also, trying to connect classical ayurvedic concepts with present healthcare challenges. I keep following clinical discussions, writing notes, and exploring how ayurveda can respond to autoimmune issues, metabolic disorders, stress related illness, or even general weakness. Honestly, the aim is not only to control disease but to bring back strength and a sense of well being. For me patient care is a two way process. I spend time understanding their prakriti, habits, worries, even small daily patterns before planning treatment. Healing works better when patients also know what is happening and why, so I like to explain in simple way and guide them to make sustainable changes. My goal is not just to treat but to help people stay balanced, live longer with health, and feel confidence in their own body again.

I am a second-gen Vaidya—Ayurveda was literally around me all the time since childhood, not just as medicines or clinic work, but in our food, lifestyle, even convos at home. Practicing for 17+ yrs now, I mostly work on neuro-musculo-skeletal conditions & pain stuff—things like cervical or lumbar spine issues, nerve compressions, frozen shoulders, long-term stiffness, stroke rehab, even post-surgical chronic pain that keeps showing up again n again. I don’t stick to one-line protocols, never worked for my patients that way. I mix core Ayurvedic methods—Panchakarma, Basti, Marma points, oils, swedana, all that—with Acupuncture, some Quantum therapy tools I picked up later, & sometimes Mantra chikitsa if the pattern’s deeper. When a case’s stubborn, I even consider Jyotish influences—not for predictions, but to spot repeating energetic patterns. Not everyone is open to that part tho. And that's fine. In cases like hemiplegia, trauma, or conditions where ppl have lost function, I track even the smallest progress—finger twitching after 20 days of nothing can be huge. But all of this only works if the root constitution’s understood. Prakriti-Vikriti is non-negotiable, otherwise treatments just float around without landing. Every patient who comes to me brings a different puzzle. I don’t use fixed “packages”—each treatment becomes its own evolving plan, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. But I always stay close to the classical Ayurvedic base—text-based logic, herbs, diagnosis through pulse or tongue—but yeah, I'm flexible about *how* we apply those principles. The work is demanding but I actually like digging deep into complex pain pathways, where both physical & emotional imprints need untangling. That’s where Ayurveda, if applied with care & intuition, really shines.

I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

I am a Siddha Varma therapist, working mainly on pain care—whether it’s muscle aches, joint stiffness, nerve-related discomfort, or those chronic pain cases that keep coming back even after multiple treatments. Varma therapy works by activating specific vital energy points in the body, and over the years I’ve learned how even a small, precise touch in the right spot can bring big changes. My approach keeps the tradition intact but also makes it comfortable and safe for today’s patients who often look for relief without surgery or heavy medication. Along with pain care, I practice Thadaval Muraigal—a rejuvenation therapy in Siddha that uses specialised massage techniques to restore energy flow, improve circulation, and help the body recover from fatigue, stress, or early signs of ageing. Many come for this when they feel drained but can’t explain exactly why. It’s not just about physical strength—it clears the mind too. I also treat skin problems like eczema, rashes, pigmentation, and gynecological concerns such as irregular cycles or white discharge. These are always personalised, with herbal remedies, detox work, and food guidance designed to match the person’s body type and health state, keeping to Siddha’s root-cause approach. One more area I work on is Kaaranool Sigichai—traditional Siddha treatment for piles, fissures, and fistula. Here the focus is on healing from inside out, combining internal medicines, external applications, and correcting habits that cause the problem in the first place, so it doesn’t keep coming back. For me, Siddha isn’t just a therapy—it’s a complete system of healing that sees the person as a whole. My goal is to help each patient walk away not just pain-free, but balanced and stronger for the long run.

I am an MS gynaecologist with more than 3 yrs of practical experience, and during this time I worked with wide range of women’s health problems, from common menstrual irregularities to complex obstetric and gynaecological conditions. My approach is bit different because I try to bring together both conventional treatment where its required and Ayurvedic wisdom for long term balance. I use therapies like herbal remedies, diet planning, lifestyle counselling and when needed panchkarma procedures, all tailored to the condition and prakriti of the patient. I feel strongly that women deserve not just symptomatic relief but also holistic care that looks at root causes, whether its hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, menopausal challenges or chronic pain related to reproductive health. In my practice I also focus a lot on preventive care. I encourage regular check-ups, nadi parikshan, personalised diet advice because I saw how small corrections in routine and food habbits can stop bigger complications later. Patients who come with anxiety, stress or lifestyle disorders also find improvement when we integrate mind–body techniques like yoga, breathing exercises along with medicine. Many women I treated told me they feel heard and supported, and that matters as much to me as clinical outcomes. Working this way has taught me that patient satisfaction is not only about medical results but also about trust and consistent support. Even with limited resources or busy shifts, I try to maintain high standards of care and give enough time to listen carefully. Every case, whether simple or complicated, remind me why I choose this profession – to help women regain health, confidence and quality of life. I continue learning every day, updating myself on both modern protocols and classical Ayurvedic texts, to make sure the care I provide is both evidence-based and compassionate. For me integration of both worlds is not a compromise, but the most effective path to sustainable healing.

I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

I am Dr. Revathi Bhat—Ayurveda physician and also a certified yoga coach (YCB), and tbh I really do believe that healing shouldn’t feel disconnected from real life. My BAMS background gives me the strong clinical base in Ayurved, but honestly it’s the mix of daily-practice wisdom + yoga + listening closely to what a patient’s body actually needs that kinda defines how I work now. Most of the ppl who come to me are dealing with lifestyle mess—like diabetes, PCOD, obesity, skin issues, digestion going all over the place, or some nagging urinary thing that won’t go away. And yeah, the symptoms show up on the surface, but underneath it's usually stress, bad routines, food habits, or just... disconnection from body signals. That’s where Ayurveda helps and where Yoga fits in—because you can’t always fix it with meds alone. I use a combo of herbs, panchakarma when needed, meal-tweaks, and simple daily routines (plus yoga breathwork or movement when it fits). Everything’s super personalized, based on prakruti, agni status, even the season. Like, there’s no point telling someone to do fancy cleanses or asanas if they’re not sleeping well or skipping lunch everyday. It’s really about making healing doable—not just ideal on paper. I do most of my consults online now—patients from all over. And I actually like it... because ppl open up more in their own space, and we can make long-term changes step by step. What I care most is that the care doesn’t stop when symptoms fade. Like, let’s fix it at the root and make sure you know what to do next time it tries to come back. Preventive care's also a big part—teaching ppl about seasonal changes, dinacharya bits, small habits that actually last. Because chronic issues don’t start overnight... they build, quietly. My job? help ppl catch it early and guide ‘em back into balance—not just physically but in lifestyle n mind too. And that, I think, is what real healing kinda means.

I am working as an Ayurvedic doctor, mostly based in Raipur. Did my Kshara Sutra training at Raj Rajeshwari Ayurvedic Wellness Centre — that course gave me solid hands-on with para-surgical treatments, especially in cases like piles, fissure, fistula... all those tough ano-rectal things that ppl usually delay treatment for. The techniques felt rooted, clean, and way more effective than I expected tbh. I’m still continuing at the same wellness centre now, serving as junior consultant. Everyday OPDs, classical case sheets, pradhan karma prep, counselling — kinda doing all the real stuff that teaches you more than any degree. I’ve learned to handle both chronic and lifestyle disorders, and also understand the pace at which patients actually change. Ayurveda demands patience — and teaching that to patients is half the battle. Apart from my Ayurvedic side, I’ve also worked as RMO at Palak Gawari IVF Centre. It was diff from my usual comfort zone, but I picked up valuable exposure — especially with reproductive and fertility-related conditions. Cross-learning from modern protocols while keeping ayurveda close felt like a good balance. I also had ICU & emergency ward experience as RMO at Shri Sankalp Multi-Speciality Hospital, Sarona, Raipur. That part was intense. Round-the-clock duties, sudden shift of cases, cardiac emergencies, trauma — not the place where Ayurveda is usually discussed, but you do learn a lot about stability, team decisions, vitals and when not to intervene with herbs. Honestly, working in both Ayurvedic and modern hospital setups gave me a clearer idea of how to bridge the gap. I’ve started looking at each patient more wholistically — whether it’s kriyakalpa or vitals monitoring, it's all about understanding the person behind the disease.
