Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 62

I am Dr. Arisha, an Ayurvedic physician with a BAMS degree and yeah, a little over 4 years of clinical experience now. Honestly, time flies when you’re constantly learning from patients, textbooks, your own mistakes... and the everyday reality of what works and what just sounds good on paper. I practice classical Ayurveda—but not in that rigid, overwhelming way people sometimes expect. I mean, what’s the point if it isn’t doable, right? Most folks come in feeling stuck. Like they’re trying all sorts of things—fad diets, supplements, routines from Instagram—and yet nothing really sticks. I try to keep it real. I look at digestion (Agni) first, because if that’s off, nothing else really flows. Then we get into the daily routine (Dinacharya), sleep habits, eating windows, stress triggers—stuff like that. Sometimes, even just tweaking when or how you eat makes a way bigger difference than adding 3 new herbs or rituals. People are often suprised by that. My consultations are more like conversations. I’m not into fancy words or long lists of rules. I ask a lot—about your Prakriti (natural state), your Vikriti (current imbalances), your job, your sleep, your cravings, what throws you off track. That helps me figure out what you really need—not just on paper but in a way that fits your life. I’ll only suggest herbal medicines if I truly feel they’re needed—and even then, only stuff that’s clean and time-tested. I get patients dealing with digestive issues, hormonal shifts, burnout, fatigue, anxiety that creeps into sleep. Sometimes people don’t even know what exactly feels wrong—they just feel off. And that’s valid. We start from there. Not trying to ‘fix’ everything overnight, but slowly building balance back. It’s about healing, not managing. Over the years I’ve helped folks regulate cycles, reduce bloating, sleep deeper, even just feel like their mind and body aren’t fighting each other anymore. And I really think that’s what Ayurveda is—bringing you back to your baseline, your center, without all the noise. No crash plans, no one-size-fits-all. Just slow, clear, practical steps. If you're tired of complicated protocols or getting lost in conflicting advice—maybe Ayurveda, done simply and mindfully, could actually help. I'm here if that feels like something you’re ready for.

I am someone who still carries a deep imprint of my time as a CRAV physician at Arya Vaidya Pharmacy, Coimbatore—it was just one year, yeah, but what a year. I got to work directly under Padma Shri Dr. P. R. Krishnakumar ji, and honestly that changed a lot for me in how I saw clinical Ayurveda. It wasn’t just theory, it was living the granthas. We weren’t just discussing doshas—we were seeing them unfold in real-time across patients, case after case. I was involved in integrative discussions where senior Vaidyas would challenge you to think not just prescribe. We had chronic cases like autoimmune flareups, degenerative joint pain, weird metabolic clusters, stress-based gut issues—you name it. And rather than slotting patients into protocols, the emphasis was always on Rog-Rogi Pariksha, which made me slow down, look deeper. There were days where I’d be assisting on full-fledged Panchakarma routines—Vamana, Basti, Nasya—then sitting post-lunch for research interpretation or refining case notes. I didn’t just learn Rasayana therapies, I saw what they could do when timed right and tailored well. Things like how Dashamoola can work very differently depending on how you prep the gut first. That kinda stuff sticks. Documentation and follow-up were given as much value as the prescription slip, which honestly makes all the diference in long-term recovery. Counseling wasn't some optional add-on, it was a core skill—how do you convince someone to shift lifelong habits without sounding preachy? I learnt that here. That phase pushed me to trust the classics more, but also to be real about modern patient needs. Safety, sustainability, clarity—all these became part of how I practiced. Today, in my own clinic, I still draw from that training. Whether it’s designing a detox plan, adjusting meds for a thyroid patient, or counseling a stressed-out urban teen with gut issues—I go back to those roots often. Not to replicate—but to adapt, with sincerity.

I am working in this field from 3 years now, and honestly it doesn’t feel like just a number—each year kinda brought different layers to how i approach patients, cases and even the day-to-day clinic chaos. First year was like... more about figuring out how to link textbook stuff to real-world symptoms, sometimes missing a connection but slowly getting better. By the second year, I felt more grounded—especially while handling chronic cases like PCOS, obesity, thyroid imbalance, where listening becomes half the treatment. I started experimenting more with diet planning n prakriti-based routines, trying to not just give a script but something the patient could actually follow, like... practically. I’ve also got decent grip now in Panchkarma procedures—virechan, basti, nasya, and stuff like raktamokshan—which I used to be nervous about in the begining tbh. But over time, the hands got steady n more confident. And somewhere in this journey I realised managing gut health was like this silent gamechanger?? whether it’s stress, hormone stuff, even skin issues—if digestion's off, the rest don’t settle right. That led me into deeper focus on agni management and rasayan therapies too. I did fumble early on, I remember forgetting sequence during leech application once (embarrasing but learned well). Now it's more instinctive. I also try mixing traditional methods with a modern understanding whenever needed—not in a forced way but only where it adds value. Marma therapy and kriya kalpa (like tarpana etc.) are things I also kept exploring along the side...still learning but I do apply them where apt. What I feel now after these 3 year is that clarity don’t come in one go—it kinda builds. You mess up, retry, and get sharp. That’s how I treat too—personalised, not textbook-perfect but practical, compassionate and slightly messy like real healing usually is.

I am working as a consultant cosmetologist for about a year now, and my focus stays on skin and hair care that’s not just surface-level but rooted in ayurveda and balanced with modern cosmetology tools. I dont believe in just fixing what you see in mirror, I try to understand the skin type, prakruti, and the small imbalances that sometimes go unnoticed but cause bigger troubles later. My cases range from stubborn acne, hyperpigmentation, dull skin, hair fall to early signs of aging and scalp flakiness. For each I design plans that could include herbal preps, external therapies, simple skincare routines that suit their lifestyle.. and avoid harsh stuff that can damage in long run. Many times I see people change just by following daily habits I suggest—diet tweaks, stress handling, seasonal care—it really makes difference. I also work a lot with chronic skin troubles where aesthetic meets therapy, because clear healthy skin is more than just a look. My aim? help people feel confident in their own skin, literally, by using an ethical approach that blends the old wisdom with evidence based methods.

I am a medical professional who started out with hands-on practice at Chirantana Clinic in Sullia. That place gave me the kind of exposure you don’t really get in textbooks—you meet patients every day with different backgrounds, diff needs, sometimes even limited access to care, and you just have to adapt. At Chirantana, I was mainly working in primary care & preventive health, which meant long convos with patients, follow-ups, keeping track of their lifestyle patterns. It taught me that real healthcare isn’t just about prescribing a pill, it’s about listening, explaining, and helping someone understand their own body. Some days were hectic, but honestly those direct interactions shaped my approach to holistic treatment in ways that still guide me now. Later, at Rathnagarbha Multi-Speciality Hospital in Raichur, the whole environment changed. Suddenly I was in a much larger setup, dealing with complex cases, acute conditions, and working alongside specialists from diff departments. That shift helped me improve in collaboration—like discussing patient cases with senior consultants, planning management strategies that balanced Ayurvedic principles with modern diagnostics. I saw both chronic disorders like diabetes, arthritis, skin issues & also acute concerns, and had to adapt fast. Honestly, sometimes I felt stretched, but it made my diagnostic skills sharper and pushed me to think clearer under pressure. My style of practice now is simple—I like to keep things transparent. I want patients to know why a treatment is given, what changes they might notice, and what role lifestyle or diet plays in their recovery. I believe that when a patient understands their health condition better, outcomes improve. I try to keep evidence-based decision making at the center but also never ignore the person’s unique context. Whether I’m in a rural setting or a multi-speciality hospital, that balance between clarity, empathy & practical care is what I stick to. Over time, I’ve realized healthcare isn’t just about treating disease—it’s about continuity. Following up, building trust, making sure someone feels comfortable enough to share even small worries. That’s something I carry forward from both clinics. I’m still learning, still updating myself with current guidelines, but what keeps me going is the belief that patient care should feel personal, ethical & effective—even if the case is complicated.

I am currently working as Chief Ayurvedic Consultant at Madhavbaug Advanced Ayurvedic Hospital & Clinic, and honestly, everyday feels like a new learning. With 4+ yrs of clinical practice in Ayurveda, I mostly deal with metabolic messes like diabetes, obesity, blood pressure issues — and often they come mixed up with digestion problems, chronic fatigue, or even joint stiffness n' random pains that just don't go away. Some days are heavy, especially when someone walks in hopeless, tried everything else and still struggling. I mostly begin with detailed history and yeah—Nadi Pariksha plays a big role in how I understand where exactly the imbalance is. I don’t rush through that. Every case for me starts at the root, like okay—what’s not working inside and why. Based on that I use herbs, diet (and it’s not always just boiled stuff, btw), structured lifestyle corrections, and therapies like Panchakarma when needed. Rejuvenation through Rasayana is something I hold close, esp. in recovery & prevention stages. One thing I feel matters a lot is the patient actually understanding what's happening in thier own body. That’s why I try to teach about daily routines (dinacharya), ritucharya...sometimes even small things like when to eat or sleep can turn things around. We use yoga, stress-relief practices too when there's anxiety or mind-related stuff tangled in the picture (which, trust me, is more often than people realise.) I work alongside a team that believes in integrative healing—not this vs that, but what truly helps the person. My job isn’t just managing symptoms but helping the body relearn balance. It’s challenging, not always smooth, but it’s worth every bit when someone tells you they finally feel like themself again. That’s why I’m here.

I am practicing Ayurveda since 2018 after completing my graduation, and honestly it's been more of a lived journey than just a job. I started with a strong pull towards the classical roots of Ayurveda—not just textbook stuff but how it actually works in real people, in real life. Over time, that turned into a deeper thing... like how can I adapt ancient wisdom into today’s messy health realities without losing what actually makes Ayurveda work. I mostly work through root-cause diagnosis—like really digging into what’s going on underneath, not just what’s on the surface. I rely on tools like Nadi Pariksha, Prakriti mapping, dosha assessments—ya, all that. But it’s never just about charts. It’s how a person feels, how they react to things, how their body talks even when words don’t. From there I try to build a plan that’s theirs—not a one-size-fits-all—whether that means herbal meds, panchakarma (if needed), diet tweaks, or shifting daily habits that could be messing them up. I’ve worked with cases like skin conditions, gut issues, hormonal fluctuations, muscle pains, emotional burnout—stuff that sometimes don’t fit into one category. And tbh it’s not always quick or easy, but if we go layer by layer, things shift. And I don’t stop with the symptom going away—I try to make sure patients actually *get* what's happening inside them. That awareness kinda changes everything. Even now I keep updating myself—online seminars, tricky case discussions, those never really stop. It's not like I know everything, but I stay open. Always. If there's one thing I keep in practice, it's that trust grows through consistency. I check in, I explain what I can, I stay involved—not disappear after giving a prescription. And ya, sometimes ppl need more reassurance than medicine. I really just want Ayurveda to feel reachable, real, not wrapped in jargon. To help people feel in control of their health—not scared of it. That’s what I try to keep showing up for.

I am an Ayurvedic consultant working since more than 6 yrs now, and honestly it's still kinda amazes me how deeply this science can transform ppl’s health when it’s applied right. My clinical practice mostly revolves around treating chronic stuff—like diabetes, stress, weight gain, BP—and I use a mix of classical Ayurvedic medicines and real, practical life advice that actually fits into modern routines (well, mostly… we all know routines are hard to follow sometimes!!) One core part of what I do is Kerala-style Panchakarma. These therapies aren’t just detox for the sake of it—they’re designed to literally reboot the whole body when done at the right time, with right prep. I work a lot with internal cleansing, oil therapies, and personalized regimens based on each patient’s Prakriti and Vikriti. It takes time, but when you see someone’s energy and sleep improve after years of fatigue or migraines, it’s worth it. My focus has kinda settled into lifestyle disorders now—things that creep in slowly like PCOD, high cholesterol, emotional burnout. And I put a lot of stress on prevention too. During consults, I usually walk patients through Dinacharya, Ritucharya, herbs, and diet plans—not just dump meds and leave it there. A good part of care is education, explaining what’s happening inside the body and *why* something needs to change. It’s not just about symptoms, right? I try to treat from the root and help people sustain the progress even after treatment ends. Long-term wellness, not just a patch-up job. If someone’s open to healing with nature, I do my best to guide them without rushing it. That’s how I see my role—being a steady support, not just a prescriber.

I am a BAMS grad from a govt. medical college, and yeah, the last couple of years in Ayurvedic practice have taught me way more than what books ever could. Real people, real conditions, and sometimes the messiness that comes with it—that’s where I learned to really see what healing takes. My focus has been mostly around long-term and lifestyle-related issues. Stuff like gut imbalance, poor metabolism, joint stiffness, fatigue that doesn’t go away… basically those chronic things that people often just live with thinking they don’t have options. I lean hard into classical Ayurvedic tools—herbal medicines that are backed by real logic (not just tradition for the sake of it), Panchakarma when detox makes sense, and always looking into ahar (diet) ‘cause honestly if the digestion isn’t reset, nothing else holds for long. Sometimes the healing path is slow, but it builds from the root—and that’s the idea I try to explain to every patient who walks in hoping for long-term change. I don’t really separate Ayurveda and modern care as two opposite worlds. My goal is to connect both—bring in evidence when needed, use diagnostics smartly, and still stay true to what Ayurvedic thought stands for. It's this kind of integration that helps patients understand their body better, not just fix the surface. I still study a lot, not just from books or research—but from cases. Because every patient teaches something. And the idea is to stay grounded in the science, but flexible in the method. What I really want is to offer care that’s natural, safe, but not vague... something that actually works and fits you.

I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.
