Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 61

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who’s kind of always drawn to the way small shifts can change everything. Not just in health but how we live, eat, sleep, even think. My main focus is helping people figure out what works for their body — like really works — by using Ayurveda’s core stuff: Prakriti, ahara, vihara, and aushadha. I mean, we all talk about balance, right? But balance means different thing to different people and that’s what makes it tricky and fascinating at the same time. I work mostly around diet and lifestyle, rooted in what’s laid down in texts like Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya. But honestly, I don’t see Ayurveda as just some ancient thing to quote—it’s alive, practical, and super adaptable. Whether someone’s dealing with bloating, skin flares, stress that just won’t shut off, or low immunity that keeps hitting again and again... I try to map that to their prakriti and what’s thrown them off-course. From there, we fix it — usually with herbs, food adjustments, and daily tweaks. Not drastic stuff, more like tuning your day to your body’s rhythm. I do detailed consults, like not the 5-min fast fix thing. I spend time listening, making notes, digging into patterns. It helps me give advice that actually sticks, not just sounds good. There’s no one-size-fits-all here—like two people with acidity might need completely different solutions. That’s where Ayurveda shines. One of my biggest goals is just making people feel in control of their own health again. I try to give them enough knowledge, confidence, and support so they don’t feel lost when something feels off. I think once someone gets that their headache or low energy isn’t random, that it links to sleep or digestion or even seasonal stuff—they start healing already. I love when that shift happens. Ayurveda isn’t just what I practice—it’s how I live. If someone’s looking to sync their diet and life with their body’s actual needs, I’m always up for that kind of work. It’s slow, sure. But also really powerful.

I am Dr. Vedika Rotra, a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with over five years of clinical experience in both public health and specialized medical care. My journey in Ayurveda has been driven by a deep commitment to holistic healing, patient well-being, and evidence-based practice. In addition to my BAMS degree, I have completed certifications in Community Health and in Gynaecology and Obstetrics, which have further enhanced my ability to address a wide range of health concerns in women’s health and general medicine. My professional background includes five years of service under the National Health Mission (NHM) in Jammu & Kashmir, where I worked extensively with diverse patient populations and gained valuable experience in community-centered Ayurvedic care. Alongside this, I served for two years conducting outpatient services at an Army unit in Jammu, where I had the opportunity to manage a broad spectrum of acute and chronic health conditions under high-responsibility settings. I bring a patient-focused approach to Ayurveda, aiming not just to treat illness, but to promote preventive health and lifestyle transformation. Whether it is managing gynaecological disorders, lifestyle diseases, or general wellness concerns, I strive to combine classical Ayurvedic wisdom with practical, modern application. I believe in clear communication, compassion, and tailoring every treatment plan to meet the individual needs of each patient. Through continuous learning and real-world experience, I remain committed to delivering ethical, authentic, and result-oriented Ayurvedic care to every individual who trusts me with their health.

I am an Ayurvedic physician who kinda found her groove by actually being in the thick of clinical setups, not just reading about them. My journey started out as a Resident Doctor at Ayurved Rugnalay and then at Sterling Multi-Speciality Hospital in Nigdi, Pune—where honestly I learned a lot by working alongside allopaths and blending modern diagnosis with classical Ayurvedic stuff. It wasn’t always easy, but that mix really helped me trust my clinical instincts more. Later I took up the role of Clinic Head at Ashwin Ayurveda Clinic & Panchakarma Centre in Walhekarwadi, which really opened up my hands-on exposure to Panchakarma—Basti, Virechana, the whole works. That was where I spent real time customizing detox protocols, understanding how doshas go outta balance in daily life and tweaking herbs, diet & therapies accordingly. That job made me realise how much chronic conditions, especially joint pains, skin issues, or hormonal stuff like PCOS—need time, not quick fixes. After that, I joined NAH in Akurdi as a Medical Officer. That was more structured—appointments, system flow, the admin load too. But I also got to see different patient types and sharpen up my diagnosis game. Then came my stint at Viveka Hospital, Nagpur. That OPD was super busy!! but it taught me speed + clarity, like not just what’s wrong but how to explain it to someone who’s confused or scared or in pain. Right now, I’m really into managing lifestyle disorders—like diabetes, thyroid, IBS, obesity—and emotional patterns that show up in the gut or periods or even the skin. I use Panchakarma if needed, but sometimes it’s just helping someone rewire their sleep-food habits or giving a herb that calms down vata or reduces inflammation. What I believe? Ayurveda’s not some rigid system. It moves with the person. That’s why I keep studying, reflecting on each case, and trying to go one level deeper, always. If there’s one thing I’m sure of—it’s that healing needs patience, trust and, sometimes, a lil unlearning from both sides.

I am Vaidya Neha Saini and Ayurveda’s not just my work—it’s kind of like my language of healing, a thing I live by, day in and out. I did my BAMS from Shree Krishna Govt Ayurvedic College in Kurukshetra and later finished MD in Ayurveda from Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune (that place had a different kind of energy honestly). With more than five yrs of clinical experience under my belt, I’ve kinda shaped my path around treating chronic issues, long-drawn imbalances and lifestyle disorders that modern life throws at people without warning. My way of working isn’t about chasing symptoms. I try to understand what’s really going on underneath—it’s like the root cause matters more than just quieting the noise. I use classical Ayurvedic principles but I also keep an eye on modern clinical understanding, ‘cause you can’t ignore how medicine’s growing every day, right? Most of my cases come in with problems like skin conditions—psoriasis, eczema, sometimes hormonal stuff like PCOS or thyroid weirdness, joint stiffness, back pains, post-stroke situations, or nervous system setbacks that need slow but steady support. And for all that, I plan treatment around them, not some fixed protocol. Which means a mix of herbs, Panchakarma detox when needed, food tweaks, even small shifts in daily routine… all matching their prakriti and vikriti. I also do online consults 'cause a lot of folks don't always get to travel or access real Ayurveda nearby. I just feel like everyone should have a shot at natural healing, even if it's through a screen. One thing I try hard to never skip: listening. Really listening to people. Sometimes they don’t even know how to say what's wrong, but they feel it—and that matters. For me, trust is the main pillar, and treatment flows from there. Ayurveda for me isn’t a toolkit or a clinic-only thing. It’s like—how you eat, sleep, breathe, connect with seasons or stress. It’s everywhere. And everytime someone walks in confused, tired or just stuck with some health loop, my aim is to sit beside them—not ahead—and figure the way out together. Not fast fixes, but deep, steady change. That's what I show up for every single time.

I am a certified practitioner workin' in acupressure therapy, naturopathy, yoga, and diet consultation for the past 2 yrs—though sometimes it feels longer just because of how deeply into it I got. My whole approach is kinda simple honestly... let the body do what it's made to do: heal. I don’t push treatments that silence symptoms, I try to listen what they’re tryin to say instead. If someone comes to me with constant tiredness or ache in the joints or bloating that won't quit, I usually try and dig into what’s behind that—not just what’s on the surface. Like I focus on root-cause first. Through acupressure, I work on meridian points to unblock stuck energy and boost circulation. Naturopathy-wise, I use a mix of detox methods, sometimes hydrotherpy or local herbal pastes or packs. Nothing harsh, nothing scary. Yoga helps a lot too — not just the bending kind, but breathing n' stillness too. We mix that in with personalized food guidance (not generic charts lol), real stuff that suits their body type, season, lifestyle. And yeah it's always personal, there's no one-size here. People mostly come for digestion probs, stress overload, weird period cycles, obesity, stiff knees, sleep problems etc. Some things need more than one session ofc, but I see shifts—sometimes in small ways first like better sleep, less irritibility, lighter body... and then slowly bigger change starts showing up. I kinda believe healing is a team thing—me and the client both got to show up for it. And my job? not just to do therapy, but to make sure they know what they can do too. I give lil lifestyle tweaks, teach ‘em quick yoga hacks, food reminders, stuff they can carry back home. In the end, my main goal is helping people feel more in tune with their own body again. Not chasing some perfect health thing... just feeling steady, strong, and less lost inside their own skin. That’s when healing really starts—when it feels like you’re home in your own body.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who’s been in this space for more than 12 yrs now, and honestly, the longer I practice the more I realize how deeply personal healing really is. I don’t just treat a diagnosis—I try to understand why that imbalance showed up in the first place, and how we can correct it gently but firmly using the tools that Ayurveda gives us. Over the years, I’ve worked with people facing all kinds of things—gut problems that just won't settle, nagging skin rashes, frozen shoulders, knee pain that creeps in with age, allergies that flare with every season, stress that wrecks hormones, and even folks who just feel "off" but can’t pin it down. My treatment approach usually blends classical Ayurvedic formulations with Panchakarma therapies when needed. Sometimes it’s also just about adjusting food habits, cleaning up their routine or sleeping better. I always look at the patient's prakriti, doshic balance, history and the whole picture before suggesting anything. Every protocol is personal. That might mean herbal meds for one, detox + rasayana for another, or even just shifting daily timings and meals—it depends, really. I talk a lot about Dinacharya and Ritucharya too, coz these are gamechangers when followed right. I’m big on helping people understand that health isn’t a quick fix, it’s daily stuff. It’s consistent. Like brushing your teeth, just.. on a deeper level haha. Lately I've also been guiding people more on preventive stuff—how to avoid getting sick in the first place, using Ayurvedic nutrition tips, breathwork, sattvic routines and stress support. I try to keep Ayurveda logical and simple, not mystical or distant. Every consult I do is meant to be grounding. I want people to feel seen and heard, not rushed or confused. To me, this is more than a system—Ayurveda is like a rhythm that can really sync your body and mind with nature again. That’s where real healing begins. Typos or quick edits happen sometimes—hope you dont mind!

I am someone who kinda took the long road into Ayurveda, and maybe that’s why it feels personal everytime I talk to a patient. I started my clinical life as a duty doc at VBR Multispeciality Hospital—those shifts were long, and the learning curve was wild. But it taught me how to listen, really listen... and to not panic when ten things are going wrong at once. I dealt with all sorts of cases, some routine, some totally unexpected. That early exposure really shaped how I approach patient care today—head clear, eyes open, heart in it. Then in 2021, I set up Prakriti Healthcare. That was a big move. I wanted to build a space that was quiet but also healing—not flashy, just solid care. I started working more with chronic lifestyle conditions—people with sugar issues, stress burnout, PCOD, digestive messups. Using Ayurvedic tools but adjusting them to fit actual modern lives—like helping someone do a basic Dinacharya routine even if they had back-to-back meetings on Zoom. I’m not into textbook preaching. It has to fit into your life or what’s the point? In 2023, I joined Wellness by Heartfulness. That role honestly stretched me. Suddenly I was doing more community work, grounding my practice in mindfulness, Sattvik lifestyle principles, and supporting people who were looking for preventive answers, not just symptom relief. It made me realize how much people crave balance, not bandaids. Then Feb 2025, I started working as a medical reviewer with PharmEasy. That was different. I wasn’t treating patients directly, but I was helping people make better health decisions just by writing clearly, checking facts, simplifying confusing terms. It mattered, even if nobody knew my name on those articles. My goal? Keep learning, stay real, and always make sure whatever I’m doing actually helps someone—whether that's in person, on a call, or through a screen. Healing shouldn’t feel complicated. It should feel possible.

I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Shalya Tantra at Shiva Ayurvedic Medical College, Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, and yeah, I juggle between clinicals, surgeries and a fair bit of classroom chalk dust. My focus stays rooted in Ayurvedic surgery, especially the proctology part—Arsha, Bhagandara, and Parikartika—those cases don’t scare me anymore, in fact I like working with them. I did my UG and PG from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science & Research, Bengaluru. It's a place where classical texts were treated like gold but we still got real-world exposure. That combo shaped a lot of what I do today. During my MD in Shalya Tantra, I got deep into Ksharasutra chikitsa and its real-life application. I won’t say every case went perfectly, but many of them gave me strong confidence to blend the traditional line with modern operative techniques when needed. Honestly, I believe Ayurved can hold its own in surgical domains if done rightly—with patience, skill, and clarity. My patient care usually starts with listening more than speaking, then goes from diagnosis to therapy in a flow that’s not just about the procedure. Internal meds, diet recommendations, some pathya-apathya advice—everything adds up. I avoid overdoing unless absolutely needed. Less can be more in many surgical cases, especially chronic anorectal ones. Teaching too keeps me sharp. Students have a way of asking exactly what you didn’t prepare for :) But that’s the charm. I focus on making Shalya Tantra feel useful and alive, not just a theoretical subject. We cover practicals, case-based discussions, post-op followups—anything that gets their hands and minds into it. Outside class and OPD, I keep sharing stuff, cases, observations on academic platforms. Keeps my own learning alive and relevant. For me, surgery isn’t a solo act, it’s a mix of planning, steady hands, and strong roots in Ayurved's logic. And maybe a little instinct.

I am an Ayurvedic practioner with like 16+ years of real hands-on work, and yeah that’s a long time—each year teaching me something new about people, pain, healing and patience too tbh. My clinic life mostly revolve around classical Ayurveda, and I kinda lean into therapies like Panchakarma, Agnikarma and Marma Chikitsa... those are like my core areas. They've been super effective, esp when it comes to chronic pain, spine n' joint disorders, or just modern-life illnesses that ppl carry without realizing till it's too late. I focus a lot on diagnosis—like proper prakriti analysis, nadi pariksha, all that. I really believe unless you get the root right, the whole care plan just sorta misses the mark. Panchakarma is a big part of how I work. That whole process of detox, deep tissue cleansing & resetting digestion—it’s more powerful than ppl realize. I’ve used it with folks who had fatigue for years, or metabolic issues that wouldn’t budge with anything else. For pain-related stuff like frozen shoulder, plantar fascitis, lumbar pain etc, Agnikarma has honestly been a gamechanger. It's kinda underrated but when done right—clear, precise, it brings relief fast. And then there’s Marma therapy… I use that a lot for neuro probs, even in athletes or people post injury. It’s subtle work but really transformative if the body's ready to respond. My way isn’t rigid tho—I listen a lot, maybe more than I talk. I really try to understand where the person is coming from—mentally, emotionally not just physical symptoms. Diet n’ lifestyle change is a big part of the plan always... and not some unrealistic overhaul, just slow tweaks that actually work. In the end, I guess what I try to do is keep it real. No quick-fix promises, but a healing space where you feel seen and safe. Whether someone is here for something acute or just trying to live better—I take that journey with them, step by step.

I am a practicing Ayurvedic Medical Adviser with little over two years of proper clinical experience—not a very long time maybe, but it’s been intense, hands-on, and honestly quite eye-opening. Right now, I’m running Jeevadhara Ayurveda Clinic and Infertility Centre in Karunagappally, Kerala, as the Founder and Chief Physician. Starting that place felt like a big leap but kinda needed it to offer care the way I wanted. Before that, I was working as Assistant Medical Officer at Santhigiri Ayurveda and Siddha Hospital in Kadapa. That space really helped me build a strong base, especially around blending Ayurveda and Siddha in ways that actually made sense on ground. I mostly stick to classical Ayurvedic protocols but always keep the person in front of me at the center — not just the disease label. Panchakarma is one of my main zones... have done full detox cycles as well as focused therapeutic sessions across different age groups and health setups. From vitals to patient history, progress notes, post-treatment advice — I like to keep track of everything myself rather than hand it off. I spend a lot of time talking with patients too, like actually talking — because most people don’t just want herbs, they want someone to get what’s bothering them, even if it’s not said outright. I work with fertility issues a lot now, and chronic things like PCOD, metabolic issues, and autoimmune stuff — mostly where lifestyle’s gone out of tune, digestion’s off, and the body’s just kinda stuck. We work on diet, dinacharya, mindset shifts, internal meds, sometimes external therapies — depends what the case calls for. Languages never held me back thankfully, since I speak English, Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi — that makes a real difference esp. when the patient wants to explain things in their comfort zone. At the end, all I try to do is offer real, rooted Ayurveda that’s not rushed. I care about people leaving with clarity, not confusion. And honestly, healing starts there.
