Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 64

I am mostly managing spinal stuff n neuro conditions that just won't go away easy. My main focus is Ayurvedic treatment of chronic n degenerative disorders—things like cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc prolapse, sciatica, peripheral neuropathies... the kind of pain ppl live with for years n just "manage" until they can't. What I try to do is bring classical Ayurvedic tools into real, modern-day problems. That means not just quoting texts but actually applying things like Basti, Nasya, Patra Pinda Sweda—depending on what the case needs, not what looks textbook neat. Sometimes a well-timed virechana or targeted Basti shifts the whole pain cycle. Other times, you just need to build strength back slowly with Rasayana and support the nervous system across few weeks...or months, not gonna lie. I also work with neuro cases like hemiplegia, Bell's palsy, chronic fatigue n other degenerative neuro issues. These need time, a lot of consistency, and therapies that actually work with the body's pace. I use internal meds, external therapies, plus strict diet corrections—some ppl really underestimate the impact of wrong ahar habits on vata imbalance. Not here to fix just symptoms tbh... I’m all in for root-cause digging and building recovery plans that ppl can sustain. Even if slow. Education is huge for me too. If patients don’t understand what’s going on, they’ll feel stuck even when they’re healing. I explain things in basic words, try to make em part of their own treatment. That bit? Makes a big difference. Also, I always try to keep my work honest, ethical and grounded—like, no miracle claims, just dedicated process and full attention to the person in front of me.

I am right now working as a Resident Medical Officer at Uttranchal Hospital and Diagnostic Centre, Dehradun. Been here about 3 months now and still every day feels a bit different.. sometimes hectic, sometimes calm. My BAMS is from Patanjali Ayurved College & Hospital where I also did my internship – that time gave me a solid base in classical Ayurvedic protocols and real patient care (not just in books). After that I did another 6-month stint at Civil Hospital, Roorkee, which honestly was like a crash course in managing a big variety of conditions, from the very routine to cases that really make you stop and think. Those early days taught me that accuracy in diagnosis isn’t just about knowing theory – it’s about listening carefully, picking up the small signs, and not rushing into assumptions. In every role, I keep leaning on Ayurveda’s depth but also adapt to what’s practical for the patient sitting in front of me. That might mean herbal formulations, diet planning, lifestyle tweaks or even just explaining things in a way they can follow at home without feeling overwhelmed. I pay close attention to communication – because sometimes patients leave with half their doubts unanswered, and that’s not okay for me. Whether in OPD or during ward rounds, I try to keep a balance of science and sensitivity, making sure treatments are evidence-based but also personalised to the patient’s prakriti and current needs. My aim hasn’t really changed from the start – keep learning, keep improving, and stay rooted in ethical practice while actually helping people get better, not just temporarily but in a way that lasts.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with 15+ years in this field—honestly feels like I’ve walked side by side with Ayurveda more than half my life now. I started off really driven by this one idea: healing should start where the illness begins, not where the symptoms show up. That’s kinda shaped everything I do—whether I'm dealing with chronic lifestyle disorders, gut issues, stress burnout, hormonal shifts or stubborn pain that doesn’t go away with just rest. I’ve spent a lot of years in OPDs and IPDs—probably seen hundreds (maybe thousands?) of cases by now. And still each person feels different, like, you can’t just apply a textbook solution. I lean on Rogavigyana a lot—that’s Ayurvedic pathology, which helps me catch what’s actually going on underneath. Aam buildup, dosha imbalance, weak agni—all those hidden patterns that modern tests sometimes miss. I work a lot with patients having sandhivata (knee/joint stiffness), prameha (early or late-stage diabetes), acne flares, breathing problems, PCOS stuff, or just stress that’s gone physical—headaches, IBS, that whole loop. For me, Panchakarma isn’t just detox—it’s like resetting the body when things have gone way off. Basti, virechana, nasya... not just treatments, but tools to rebuild balance. I do a mix—internal meds, diet tweaking, fixing routines, mental calm. If needed, I’ll slow the whole treatment down to help someone ease in. I don't rush. I also kinda push my patients to learn about their own bodies... to own their wellness journey, not just follow instructions blindly. Also—I keep reading. New papers, old texts, sometimes even obscure stuff. I don’t wanna lose the roots of Ayurveda, but yeah I try to keep it real n practical. Not everyone can do 3-hour morning routines, right? I adapt things so they actually work for working folks, kids, elders, whoever walks into my clinic. Healing is slow, sure. But when the approach is right—and consistent—I’ve seen people change their health, and honestly, their whole life. That’s what still keeps me going.

I am currently doing my PG residency at All India Institute of Ayurveda, New Delhi—and to be honest, every single day there kinda adds a layer to how I see patient care. The clinical exposure here is heavy, not just textbook-heavy but like, real-world complex. We get to handle chronic illness, emergency walk-ins, and also manage OPD flows which means... you don’t just study Ayurveda—you live it, if that makes sense. Before this, I did a one-year mandatory internship at AUTC & Hospital where I also rotated through Indra Gandhi Hospital, Dwarka and an AYUSH dispensary. That part was intense. Like, two months in the dispensary opened my eyes to primary care stuff that people usually miss in big hospital setups. Things like—how basic lifestyle correction can reduce drug dependancy or how some people only come when pain is unbearable.. and then expect instant fix. You gotta explain without making them feel judged. Also spent six months at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Mangolpuri where I was part of the rotation for handling GIT cases, OPD/ward followups, patient counseling (esp. with piles and fissure complaints), a few minor procedures too under supervision. The patient load there was crazy—fast decisions, limited resourses. Learned how to do more with less. I also do online consults with Digvijayam Clinic in Sirsa. It’s remote but feels personal. A lot of my digital patients reach out for chronic cases—lifestyle disorders, infertility-related concerns, ano rectal issues. I guide them using Ayurvedic protocols but make sure it stays practical enough for their daily routine. Being digital doesn’t mean being distant, you know? That mix of rural + urban, offline + online—somehow gave me a wider sense of how different people experience illness. And I guess that shaped how I treat now. I don’t just look for dosha imbalance, I listen for patterns in lifestyle, stress, digestion—all the micro stuff.

ChatGPT said: I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda moves between three different zones—Marma chikitsa, skin + hair care, and anorectal issues like piles n fistula—sounds like a weird combo maybe, but somehow it all ties back to the same thing: blocked energy, bad digestion, stuck inflammation. I trained specifically in Marma therapy, and honestly it changed how I even see pain. Like, it’s not just about the joint or muscle—it’s the circuits underneath. I use Marma points to stimulate healing, ease pain, improve blood flow and sometimes even lift the mind out of a slump. It's subtle but powerful if done right. My Ayurvedic cosmetology work feels completely different but also not?? Most people come for skin glow or hair fall, but when we sit and talk, it’s always deeper. Gut issues, hormonal swings, poor sleep, ama build-up. I do detox, local herbal lepana, internal meds, but also give really grounded diet tweaks depending on dosha. My aim is—no quick cover-ups. Long-term glow with zero harsh chemcials or aggressive treatments. Then there’s the anorectal side—piles, fissures, fistula. Not glamorous at all, but super necessary work. So many suffer in silence or go through painful surgeries with relapses. I use classical Ayurvedic protocols, especially Ksharasutra and targeted internal meds to shrink growths, heal tears, restore bowel tone, and yeah, reduce recurrence. It’s practical medicine. Real-time results that can seriously change someone's quality of life. Each patient I meet gets a totally individual plan—based on Prakriti, Vikriti, and other Ayurvedic parameters. Whether it’s a person in pain or someone just feeling dull and off—I never just chase symptoms. We sit, assess, dig deeper. That’s where the actual healing starts. For me, it’s not about temporary calm—it’s about helping people feel more alive, more clear, more balanced in their own bodies again.

I am Dr. Irfon, currently doing my M.S. in Shalakya Tantra, which if you’re not familiar—is this Ayurvedic branch focused on disorders of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, and oral cavity. Basically, anything in the head-neck zone. What I really like about it is that you get to merge deep anatomical study with Ayurvedic principles that are thousands of years old but somehow still so relevant. That blend of sharp detail and holistic thinking really clicked for me. Alongside my postgrad, I’ve been working hands-on—both in institutional setups and smaller clinics. The clinical side of things is what really taught me how to listen. I spent six months practicing independently at Kottakkal Ayurveda Clinic where I saw a mix of conditions—chronic sinusitis, migraine, eye strain, even hair and skin issues. I used internal meds, external procedures, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks, whatever made sense based on the person’s prakriti. It wasn’t cookie-cutter stuff—it couldn’t be. Before that, I did a six-month Diagnostic Residency Program at Shree Narayana Hospital. That’s where I got more confident in clinical decision-making. Learning to bridge the classical tools like nadi-pariksha with modern diagnostic thinking—felt like a big shift. It helped me become more precise without losing the heart of Ayurvedic assessment. I also trained in Kerala-style Panchakarma. The deep detox kind, not just oil massages. That opened up a whole new way of handling chronic cases—like stuff that wasn’t responding to basic treatment before. Now I’m working on formulating an Ayurvedic herbal serum to target premature greying. It's Rasayana-inspired, but I’m tweaking it for practical use in daily haircare. Trial phase is on, let’s see how it evolves. I focus a lot on chronic conditions—especially stress-based imbalances, immune dysregulation, skin & scalp concerns. I try to meet each case where they are, not where the textbook says they should be. My goal's always to craft a plan that actually fits their rhythm, habits, needs—not just the diagnosis. Balance is personal. Healing is layered. And I guess my role is to hold that space while the body remembers how to reset.

I am someone who kind of grew into Ayurveda through two very different but connected roles—first as a hands-on pharmacist running an Ayurvedic pharmacy for years, and now as a practicing physician. That pharmacy phase wasn’t just about managing stock or dispensing formulas... it gave me a full-time seat with the herbs. Like, real-time learning on how each classical preparation behaves, what goes into making something truly potent, and honestly? what shortcuts to avoid. That part still stays with me—I'm still picky about quality and preparation when I prescribe. Since past 3 years I’m mostly focused on clinical practice—more patient-facing. And here’s where that background really helps. I use Nadi Pariksha and prakriti reading in most consults, but also keep checking how the medicine will actually perform based on their gut state, season, even their mental load sometimes. My approach is kinda layered—start with gut, fix agni, then move deeper. I don’t jump straight into long lists of herbs unless I’m clear on what the body can handle or absorb. Panchakarma I suggest when it’s really needed—esp for chronic buildup or deep-seated dosha imbalance. But a lot of people just need dietary realignment, daily routine tweaks and that consistent herbal support. I try keeping things doable, not overtheoretical. Whether it’s metabolic sluggishness or skin inflammation or hormonal noise—I go with long-haul plans, not band-aid stuff. Working both in pharmacy and clinic gave me this habit of questioning how and why something works—not just following texts blindly. That’s probly why many of my patients stick around, even when their case looked simple on the surface. Ayurveda works slow but strong, and I do my best to respect that.

I am working in Ayurveda for over 13 years now, and my practice has always been grounded in the classical way… no shortcuts. I focus on both Shaman (palliative) and Shodhan (purification) therapies, depending on what the patient’s condition really needs. Over the years I have worked with many musculoskeletal, neurological and chronic pain cases using Agnikarma (heat cauterization) and Viddhakarma (therapeutic needling) – both give amazing results when done right, but timing, technique and patient selection matter more than most people realise. I also bring Yoga into my treatments, since I’m a certified Yoga Therapist from MUHS, Nashik. That means I can blend very specific yoga practices with the Ayurvedic medicines and Panchakarma. Sometimes the shift comes not just from the herbal formulations or the detox, but from how the patient moves, breathes and manages their own routine. I like building those personalised Yoga plans alongside therapy – they make the treatment deeper and more sustainable. For me, symptom relief is never enough. I want to find and correct the root cause, whether it’s a dosha imbalance, poor digestion, lifestyle errors, or long-standing stress patterns. Each plan is tailored – from Shodhan Panchakarma to small diet changes – because no two patients are ever the same. And yes, I try to keep my clinic space welcoming… a place where people actually feel supported to heal, not just handed a prescription and sent off. My aim is always the same: guide them towards recovery that actually lasts, using the full depth of Ayurveda and Yoga together.

I am Dr. Sumit S. Tasgaonkar — a BAMS doc who also went on to complete MS in Ayurveda surgery, along with CGO and PGDEMS. Kinda feels like I’m always learning. And maybe that’s what keeps me grounded — balancing classical Ayurvedic wisdom with real-time medical emergencies or even modern diagnostic tools. I don’t see these systems as opposites... for me, they compliment each other when you look closely enough. My work mostly revolves around chronic diseases, metabolic issues, lifestyle mess (and there’s plenty of it these days), and women’s health conditions — PCOS, hormonal imbalance, gynec stuff that needs long-term attention. I use Panchakarma, herbal meds, diet correction, sometimes just shifting someone’s daily habits does more than we expect. But it’s never one-size-fits-all. I take a lot of time getting to the root cause — dosha imbalance, agni disturbance, whatever is underneath the visible stuff. Patients dealing with arthritis, stress, skin flareups, digestion trouble — I’ve seen all of that and more. And every case teaches something new. I’m super keen on tracking progress too. Like we keep tweaking, adjusting as per prakriti and vikriti, not just protocol-for-all. And honestly, the most satisfying part? when patients tell me they feel like themselves again. I started Tasgaonkar Medical Foundation with a big dream of bringing authentic Ayurveda to more people, esp. rural areas where choices are limited. We still keep prices fair and try not to compromise on classical principles. Accessibility doesn’t mean diluting the science — that’s always been important to me. What I really want is to see more people actually understand their health. Not just pop pills or mask symptoms. I wanna give them the tools — through knowledge, through food, through breath — to live lighter and healthier. And ya, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes you doubt, sometimes you adjust everything mid-plan... but that's Ayurveda too. Listening, observing, and flowing with the body, not against it.

I am an Ayurvedic physician who kinda lives in that space between ancient wisdom and what people actually need today.. My base is strong in the classical side of things—trained and certified in Marma Chikitsa (CCMC) and Panchakarma Therapy (CCPT) from the National Research Institute, Cheruthuruthi—and those years shaped how I see healing. For me, it’s not about chasing symptoms, it’s about digging till you find the root cause and fixing from there. That’s where real recovery starts, not just some temporary ease. When I meet a patient, I don’t just give them a ready-made plan. I try to read their prakriti and vikriti, listen to what’s really bothering them, then blend treatments—herbal formulations, diet tweaks, detox via Panchakarma or Shodhana—plus extra stuff like yoga, meditation, or even seasonal wellness routines. Sometimes we need to go slow, sometimes a more intensive approach fits. Depends on their energy, their life, even the season outside. I’ve worked with cases from chronic stress & hormonal mess-ups to skin flare-ups, digestion that just won’t settle, and those weird conditions that don’t respond to quick fixes. There’s a certain satisfaction when you see immunity getting stronger, sleep deepening, pain easing without harmful meds. That’s why I like Ayurvedic care—it syncs with the body instead of pushing against it. For me health isn’t static. It shifts every day, shaped by your mind, your food, your habits, even your environment.. My role is to guide people so they’re not just “treated” but actually understand their body’s signals. In the end, I want them to walk away not depending on me forever but knowing exactly how to keep balance on their own. That’s the real win.
