Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 66

I am an Ayurvedic physician with deep roots in traditional learning and a clinical path shaped by both classical training and modern exposure. I finished my UG in 2017 and went on to complete my MD in Ayurveda by 2022, but honestly, the real shift happened under my Guru’s mentorship—he comes from an old Vaidya Parampara where Ayurveda isn’t just taught, it’s *lived*. That influence changed how I understand disease, not as isolated issues but as imbalances across body, mind and lifestyle all working together (or not). My core practice is built around Nadi Pariksha. It’s not just “pulse reading”—it tells me where things got disturbed, sometimes way before symptoms even show up. That becomes the base for planning Shaman Chikitsa (curative care), diet correction, and when needed, structured Panchakarma protocols. I don’t believe in using the same chikitsa plan for every joint pain or acne flare-up—it never works like that. Customization is everything. Over the years I’ve worked across Ayurvedic hospitals and multi-specialty centers. That taught me how to navigate both the depth of classical medicine and the speed of real-world patient care. I naturally started leaning into skin and gynecology cases—eczema, acne, delayed periods, PCOS, repeated infections—all of which need time and layers to heal. And I’ve seen, when done right, Ayurveda clears what looks ‘chronic’ without needing constant med support forever. Each consult I take is shaped by a mix of old texts, clinical logic, and human instinct. I look at prakruti, agni, stress levels, cycle patterns, sleep... everything. Sometimes treatment means herbs and snehapana. Other times, it starts with a serious talk about lifestyle and food habits that are silently making everything worse. To me, Ayurveda’s power isn’t in just its medicines—it’s in how it sees the *whole picture*. I work to bring that clarity into every patient interaction. Healing is slow, sometimes frustrating. But if the diagnosis is right, and trust is there, we get somewhere meaningful. That’s what I show up for. Every day.

I am someone who always starts with naadi pariksha. No matter who comes to me—young, old, chronic case or just some vague symptoms—I try to *feel* the root first. I don’t just look at the current complain, I go back—was it genetic? Acquired? Something infective that changed the path of doshas? Or maybe hidden trauma stuck in the dhatus. I believe the body speaks more than the patient sometime, especially when they don’t know how to explain it. That’s where Dashvidha Pariksha comes in, I use it every single day... not mechanically, but like a conversation. Naadi, prakriti, desh, kaal, ahar, vyayam—it’s like painting a picture of their health history. I don’t believe in rushing to name a disease too quick. First I ask all the past stuff—when did it really begin? Has anyone in your family gone through similar? What worsens it... seasons, food, stress? The aim isn’t to treat the label. I try to see the imbalance behind it, doshik patterns that got disturbed. Even in common disorders like acidity, PCOS, joint pains or skin flare-ups, I first try to check if it’s from inside-out or outside-in, if that makes sense. And sometimes yeah, it surprises people when I ask about their bowel habits or sleep cycles in the very first 5 mins. But those things matter. The pulse tells me one thing, your tongue another, and your eyes... sometimes more than all of it. That’s why I spend time in first visit. Can’t treat blindly, right? Even if someone just wants a quick solution, I still tell them—without knowing your system's base, you’re just pushing symptoms around. Not everyone’s ready for slow healing. But I explain how real Ayurveda takes context—prakriti, past events, even emotional layer. I don’t push only herbs or panchakarma blindly. I mix what’s needed—sometimes minimal meds, more food shifts; other times deep shodhan. My whole thing is to not guess but to *understand*. That’s why I rely on deep questioning and constant observation—not just first day but every follow-up too.

I am working in the field of Ayurveda since last 2 yrs, started out at a busy Ayurvedic clinic and Panchkarma Centre where I got real hands-on experience—seeing patients daily, understanding their complaints from root level, and most importantly, learning how to plan proper individualised chikitsa. From chronic digestion issues to skin probs, joint pain to stress imbalance—I got to assist in many cases n see how Panchkarma actually shifts the system when done right. Now I’m handling my own OPD setup, and honestly that transition taught me a lot too. When you're responsible fully, you listen more carefully, observe closely and make sure what you're prescribing actually fits the patient. I don’t just give herbs randomly—first I try to understand their ahar-vihar, prakriti, symptom pattern... only then I go ahead with treatments. Some ppl need full Panchkarma line of treatment, others just need tweaks in routine or deep lifestyle correction. Lot of my patients come with issues like acidity, IBS, hormonal ups-down, PCOD, fatigue, and many even say “everything looks normal in reports but I still don’t feel fine.” That’s the space where Ayurveda really helps—where modern tests can’t explain the full picture, but doshic understanding can. I also work on prevention. I believe health is not just about removing disease but making sure body feels balanced n clear. I like to explain why I’m prescribing what I am—because patients need to be part of their own healing, not just follow orders blindly. Still learning everyday, still refining my methods, but what stays same is the intention—to make ppl feel lighter, calmer and back to their natural rhythm.

I am Dr Subimol P R, working as an ayurvedic surgeon and consultant proctologist, most of my days revolve around patients coming with ano rectal disorders like piles, fistula, fissures or chronic anorectal problems that refuse to go away with routine care. I rely on classical ayurvedic surgical methods, mainly Ksharasutra therapy, also minimal invasive ways that are deeply rooted in the traditional science I studied. For me, surgery in Ayurveda is not just cutting or tying, it is part of a whole system where internal medicines, diet, lifestyle changes all join together to give lasting relief. Over time my practice slowly spread to musculoskeletal issues, varicose veins, chronic non healing ulcers—conditions many patients bring after trying multiple treatments without much success. I focus on identifying prakriti, disease stage, and lifestyle patterns before finalising any plan. Some days that means herbal meds and therapies, other times it is surgical procedure, but always the aim is long term healing not just quick symptomatic relief. I also belive trust n transparency are non negotiable, I take time to sit with patients, listen to the root complaints, guide them step by step. Sometimes progress feels slow but when a patient finally gets better and says their quality of life improved, that is the true reward. My goal is not only to treat but to help patients live sustainable wellness, prevent recurrence, and feel more comfortable in daily routine. Ayurveda gives me this wide scope to blend classical knowledge with present clinical needs. I keep learning, updating skills, because even though tradition guides me, modern healthcare demands precision and empathy together. Recognition from patients matters more than anything else, but I also value the chance to show that ayurvedic surgery is practical, effective, and professional when done with care. Each case keeps me humble, reminding me that healing is ongoing work, never really complete!!

I am Dr. Siddhi Soni. I guess I’d say I’m someone who really believe in the depth of Ayurveda—not just as treatment but as a full way to actually *live* better. I did my B.A.M.S. from G.J. Patel Ayurveda College in 2023, and even before graduating, I kinda knew this was more than a degree for me. Clinical practice wasn’t just something I studied, I really lived it—between all the postings, OPD rounds, and watching how ppl responded to basic classical therapies when done *right*. After that I got into working at a multispeciality hospital, full-time as Medical Officer, for a year. The exposure there? intense. I was handling emergencies, monitoring critical pts, even coordinating with allopathic teams. It pushed me, taught me to act fast but also to *listen better*. Like really tune into what’s going wrong. That balance between urgency and compassion — I think I found it there. But my real grounding came from running an Ayurveda clinic as Head Consultant for 2 years. That’s where I started doing full-on prakriti assessments, designing dosha-based regimens, and working on long-term recovery—not just patch-up fixes. We worked a lot with skin issues, PCOS, periods gone irregular, gut stuff, low metabolism... and each case just taught me new angles. I use a mix of internal meds (yeah, only classical), Panchakarma when needed, food corrections, and habit shifts. Not all patients are ready for the whole change, and that’s ok. We take it slow sometimes. I believe people heal better when the care feels personal not forced. I’m still learning, every case is teaching me. But if you ask what drives me—it’s that feeling when someone walks back in looking lighter, clearer, like they got *somewhere* better. That’s why I’m here.

I am a BAMS doctor with MD in Herbal Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy, and my main focus is ayurvedic management of chronic n lifestyle related conditions. Over the years I got more interested in treating thyroid issues, like hypothyroidism, because I saw so many patients struggling with tiredness, weight gain, mood shift, and regular medicine not always gave full relief. Ayurveda offer herbs and correction in daily routine that often support thyroid balance in natural way. My work also cover musculoskeletal problems, specially osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and high uric acid. These are conditions where pain n stiffness make daily activity tough, sometimes even simple walk feels heavy. I try to give integrative plan, using herbs, external therapies, diet and exercises. Some patients take time but steady improvement in mobility feels rewarding. In male health I deal with sexual disorder cases, where ppl hesitate to talk openly but it is important to treat without shame. Same goes for female gynecology problems like PCOS, painful cycles, menopause related complaints. I use safe ayurveda protocol, focusing on hormonal balance, detox, diet counselling and mind support. Mental disorder is another area I work, ranging from anxiety, sleep trouble, mood swings to mild depression. Not all cases need strong medication, sometimes lifestyle n herbal interventions bring gradual calm. I believe in listening carefully because half healing comes when patient feels heard. Pharmacognosy background help me to select right herbs, understand their action and safety. Pharmacology knowledge guide me in dose and duration, making sure treatment is effective and safe. I don’t just prescribe, I explain why this herb or this therapy is needed, so patients feel part of the process. My approach is simple – treat root cause, improve body balance, and give patient tools to take care of their health long term. And yes, not every case is easy, sometimes results are slow or uneven, but that is part of real practice, learning and adjusting along the way.

I am Dr. Megha MS, and my everyday work is deeply rooted in the principles of classical Ayurveda, but I also keep one foot grounded in what people actually *need* now—today. Right now I’m based at Indeevaram Panchakarma Centre and Aushadhi Pharmacy, where I consult with patients from different walks of life—some come with chronic imbalances, others just... feeling off and not knowing why. Either way, I listen, assess dosha imbalance, lifestyle habits, digestion strength and everything that really matters to tailor the care. My key focus is Panchakarma therapy—not just the textbook version but the kind that fits *you*. Whether it’s Basti, Vamana or Shirodhara, I plan it based on stage, strength and prakriti. I’m not into rushing detox just for the sake of it. Some cases only need correction via herbal formulations and diet shifts. And that’s cool too. It’s about what your body is *asking* for, not what looks impressive on paper. Herbal treatments are another huge part of my toolkit. At Aushadhi Pharmacy, I get hands-on with medicine selection, often tweaking classical formulations or suggesting fresh prep options depending on the case. That personal involvement in Aushadhi work really helps me bridge theory with clinical practice. Prevention’s not just a buzzword for me—it’s something I actively plan around. Like helping patients shift daily habits, seasonal regimens, basic food logic (which most people mess up without realizing) and teaching them how to listen to early signs. I think Ayurved’s biggest strength is how much can be done *before* disease hits. I stay close to the texts but also realistic. I’m constantly learning, updating myself through ongoing study or talking to peers who challenge my thinking. Not everything in a Grantha works *as is* today—and I respect that. You adapt the method, not compromise the core. At the end of the day, I want my patients to feel understood, and I want the treatment to make sense *for them*—not just fit into a protocol.

I am an Ayurveda doctor who kinda got my base training the rough and real way — straight from the wards. Started off as an RMO at Makara Ayurveda Hospital in Mundur, Thrissur. That phase taught me a lot — not just about classical treatments or herbs, but the whole actual grind of inpatient care... managing patients round the clock, coordinating with therapists, monitoring response to therapies, especially Panchakarma. Wasn't always smooth, but it gave me this solid understanding of how Ayurveda works in hospital setups, not just theory. After that I moved to Ayurveda Mana, Perumbayil (also in Thrissur) as RMO. That’s where I really started seeing more varied and chronic cases — joint diseases, spine issues, hypertension, gut-related disorders, and metabolic stuff like diabetes or thyroid cases. The team there was v. traditional and I got to apply more targeted Ayurvedic protocols along with practical Panchakarma sequencing. It's different when you’re dealing with lifestyle diseases — takes time and patience, but the shifts are real when the line of treatment is clear and followed right. Currently, I work as a Consultant Physician at Kottakkal Aryavaidyasala in Bangalore. Here, things are faster-paced. I'm mostly into OPD now, though sometimes we coordinate inpatient care too. My main focus is delivering personalized Ayurvedic care — not just based on symptoms but factoring in dosha imbalances, prakriti, agni, all that. Patients often come in with mixed complaints... stress, fatigue, irregular digestion, chronic back pain — and I try to break it down for them without going overboard with jargon. Over these years, I’ve got hands-on exp across outpatient and inpatient systems, handling both acute and long-term care. I work with therapies, diet, herbs, and sometimes just routine corrections. My main goal is simple: bring people closer to Ayurveda that actually works — no shortcuts, no fancy packaging. Just rooted, safe, effective healing that’s built on tradition and clarity.

I am working as an Ayurvedic doctor since 7+ years now, and honestly, every year sorta pulls me deeper into how powerful classical Ayurveda actually is—when you stick to the texts, listen to the body, and don’t rush the process. Most of my clinical time goes into treating ortho cases, digestive stuff, and long-drawn skin issues that just don’t go away with creams or random pills. In joint care, I usually see things like osteoarthritis, lumbar spondylosis, sciatica, frozen shoulder... the works. What’s helped? Well, Abhyanga, Basti, sometimes Lepana, but honestly, it’s not just one therapy. You gotta look at the dosha thing, at their agni, at muscle tone—all of it. I try to keep patients off painkillers long-term, cos that path just gets messier. Strength and function come back gradually with right treatment (and patience, which is rare nowdays tbh). Then comes gut issues—acidity, IBS, constipation, piles, even weird combo symptoms that modern diagnosis kinda misses. For these, I lean into Virechana, deep dietary shifts, and targeted herbs. I also did an extra diploma in ano-rectal diseases, which gave me good grip on managing fistula, piles, fissures—esp. using Ksharasutra. That technique really surprised me with how effective and sustainable it was when done right. Skin is another big space I work in—eczema, psoriasis, acne, fungal infections. Many ppl come after trying topical stuff for months, even yrs, and then we work backwards. I focus a lot on blood-cleansing (Raktamokshana), gut detox, and calming pitta. The skin reflects the inside—plain and simple, right? Sometimes that truth lands late but it does land. What I’ve learned over these yrs is that healing isn’t a quick fix, it’s something you build and protect. I try giving my patients tools and understanding, not just pills or protocols. That’s why even modern folks, once skeptical, start trusting Ayurveda—when it speaks to their body, they listen.
