Dr. Jasmine John
Experience: | 5 years |
Education: | SDM College of Ayurveda and Hospital |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly focused on helping people get better with their joints, gut and stress-related skin n' hair problems. I work a lot with ppl who’ve been dealing with nagging back pain, neck stiffness or frozen shoulder kinda things... sometimes for yrs, actually. I mix Ayurvedic therapies with stretches, postural tips, oils, and whatever their lifestyle allows. It’s not one-size-fits-all, never is.
I also treat tons of patients with acidity, bloating, weird gut patterns—like too much gas, appetite all over the place or even IBS-type symptoms. Diet’s a huge part there. I try to understand their Agni, how disturbed it is, what causes the fluctuation. Some need herbs, others just need to stop eating wrong combos.
And lately, I’m seeing more young adults struggling with hair fall, early thyroid shifts, acne that keeps coming back... all that tied up with stress, irregular sleep, maybe overthinking too. I often have to bring in calming protocols, herbal support n’ mental detox type care—not dramatic, just steady and doable.
Migraines, poor sleep or even panic-like restlessness—those are common too. For that, my approach gets a bit more gentle. Nasya, Shirodhara, light routine work—depends on what the person’s ready for. I guess I try to see what their body-mind can actually handle. |
Achievements: | I am still not sure how exactly I pulled it off, but I did manage to get 8th rank in my final MD exams—felt like all those late nights and scribbled margins on books actually meant something!! That whole phase was kinda overwhelming... deep-diving into Roga Nidana & clinical pathology nonstop, case after case, and still tryna stay sane. But yah that rank gave me some validation that I wasn’t just memorizing, I was getting it, like really understanding the roots of disease in Ayurveda terms.
And honestly I don’t stop there. This thing sorta pushed me to keep going deeper into diagnosis, matching theory with real ppl stories, adjusting protocols when needed. Like I take pride in that ranking yeah, but mostly it's the reminder that clarity + effort in this field really does matter. Keeps me on track. Keeps me grounded. Keeps me learning. |
I am Dr. Jasmine John and yeah, I’ve kinda grown into this life of Ayurveda through 17+ years of daily work, practice, learning, and honestly, a lot of listening—to bodies, symptoms, and stories. I practice in Chengannur, Alappuzha, where I run Jasmine Ayucare. That’s where most of my energy goes. Patients walk in with all kinds of things—gut stuff, back pain, asthma flares, sugar levels outta whack—and my job really is to untangle the root cause, not just patch the surface with something temporary. I hold a BAMS degree and did my MD in Roga Nidana evam Vikruthi Vigyana. That helped shape how I understand disease, especially the diagnosis side. It made me look deeper, not just doshas but also how diet, stress, daily habits, even random weather shifts—how they all stir up imbalances. My approach usually blends classical Ayurvedic wisdom with practical lifestyle planning. I mean, you can’t just hand over herbs and walk away, right? I work a lot with lifestyle disorders—like diabetes, blood pressure issues—and chronic conditions where ppl have tried everything and feel stuck. For those, Panchakarma’s a big part of my treatment toolkit, customized of course. No two therapies look the same. And I don’t believe in harsh resets; we go with what feels doable and healing for the person. There’s this belief I carry that healing doesn’t have to feel like punishment. It should feel like coming back to yourself. My treatment plans often include detailed dietary guidance (which I tweak a lot depending on the season or prakriti), plus daily routines that help regulate both mind and digestion. Gut and mind are always talking—I pay close attention to that link, especially when patients show signs of anxiety, fatigue, foggy head, etc. I do try to keep learning too. Ayurveda’s not static, it grows—there’s research, new formulations, clinical insights. And while I do believe in tradition, I don’t ignore how modern lifestyles affect vata, pitta, kapha in unpredictable ways. My aim's to give care that's not just classical but relevant. I see patients not just as ‘cases’ but as people who need time, clarity and support to heal. Helping someone feel seen, and actually better, that's what keeps me doing this work.
