Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 67

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who studied at R.A. Podar Ayurvedic Medical College in Mumbai—yeah, one of the oldest institutions—and that’s where I built up my base in clinical Ayurveda. Diagnostics, therapeutic planning, surgery theory, patient interaction... all of it. I was also part of the COVID-19 response team during the peak months and spent about 9 months on ground—handling emergencies, doing rounds, managing patients who didn’t always come with textbook symptoms. That experience hit different, taught me more about human resilience and practical medicine than any textbook probably could. Later, I went on to do my MS from Govt Ayurvedic College & Hospital, Nagpur. There the focus shifted more into specifics—Shalya Tantra, minor surgical techniques in Ayurveda, wound management, kshar karma, Agnikarma... I started seeing how classical procedures still hold real clinical value even today, if applied correctly. After completing that, I worked at Kolekar Hospital & ICCU, Chembur for 5 months—very hands-on role. Was managing patients in critical care, post-surgical support, and even got some direct exposure to handling multi-system complications alongside modern specialists. Right now, I focus on combining what I’ve seen across both systems—Ayurveda and emergency/critical care setups—and finding a working balance. Like, I don’t believe in pitting one system against the other. Instead, I try to actually integrate—what works from Ayurveda in the long run with what’s urgent and necessary in acute setups. I treat people with chronic illnesses, surgical needs, and even preventive goals. Every case isn’t just a protocol—I build the treatment based on prakruti, medical history, and patient lifestyle, and yeah, some trial and error is part of it too. I’m still learning, tbh. Every patient teaches you something. But I do know this—I believe in medicine that’s aware, precise, and real—not blindly traditional, not blindly modern. Just... rooted.

I am working in this feild for about 24 years now, and honestly that number sometimes feels unreal when I think about all the people, cases, and lessons packed into it. Started with a strong base in Ayurveda, and over the years my work has sort of expanded into more integrated care… not just treating a disease but really looking at the person as a whole. I’ve dealt with chronic conditions that don’t respond easily, acute problems that needed quick thinking, and long recovery journeys where patience was as important as treatment. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all – I keep it rooted in authentic Ayurvedic principles but adjust depending on what the patient actually needs right then. Sometimes that’s deep detox work, sometimes it’s more palliative care, sometimes lifestyle changes make the biggest difference. In all these years I’ve learned that no two cases are exactly same, even if the diagnosis looks identical on paper. That’s why I spend time understanding the history, the triggers, the patterns… little details that might not seem important at first but actually guide the whole treatment plan. I’ve seen how much trust matters too – if the patient doesn’t feel heard, even the best medicines lose half their effect. That’s why consultations for me are never rushed (though I’ll admit on busy days I wish I could clone myself). Some of my most rewarding work has been helping people who had almost given up, whether from pain that wouldn’t go away or health issues they thought they had to just “live with”. Blending classical Ayurveda with a practical, patient-centered approach keeps my work fresh, even after two decades. And honestly… I still learn something new from my patients all the time – which I guess is why 24 years later, I’m still just as committed to this path.

I am someone who really got into the day-to-day rhythm of Ayurveda during my time as a duty doctor at Vasudha Ayurcare and Panchakarma Centre in Ilkal. Spent a full year there, and honestly, that one year taught me more than any theory class ever could. I was right in the middle of patient care — diagnosing, planning, and sometimes even personally doing the therapies. Not just writing charts and stepping away. That place gave me a chance to live Ayurveda, not just study it. Most of the people who came in had long-standing issues — lifestyle disorders like diabetes, hormonal shifts, chronic back pain, frozen shoulder, headaches that didn’t have a clear diagnosis, etc. You start to see how deeply habits, emotions, and digestion are tangled up in their symptoms. That’s when I began shifting my focus more toward root-cause thinking, rather than just “treating the thing.” I got to work hands-on with classical Panchakarma treatments — Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya — depending on what the case needed. I also did follow-ups, observed changes week after week, and made adjustments along the way. That kind of continuous care makes you think harder about why something’s working (or not). We had a good senior team guiding us too, which helped me get a grip on the deeper diagnostic approach — not just what symptoms are showing, but what’s really disturbed at the dosha-dhatu level. I still hold on to that approach — clinical but intuitive. I try to listen, observe carefully, and then offer care that fits the patient’s Prakriti, lifestyle and their current capacity to follow the plan. Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all — and I don’t believe in giving the same churnam or oil to everyone just cause the disease name matches.

I am someone who kinda grew into clinical medicine one step at a time—not too flashy but very real. Started out as RMO at Park Hospital in Panipat around June 2022 till June 2023. That year taught me a lot. I was literally all over—handling patient care, shifting across depts, learning the rhythm of emergency cases, all while picking up things you won’t find in books. Decision-making under pressure, quick diagnostics, and that instinct for knowing when to dig deeper... that stuff just sticks with you. After that, I moved to Gurugram and joined Lord Krishna Hospital as an OPD Consultant from July 2023 till March 2025. This role felt more settled, but also more personal in a way—talking to patients regularly, learning their history, planning long-term care. A lot of my time went into treating chronic stuff, but also giving time to prevention and lifestyle guidance, which honestly, is where I think medicine actually starts working. I kinda realized during this time that clear communication is underrated—we assume people get what we say, but mostly they don’t unless we slow down n listen properly. I try to build that with every case now, even if there’s not always time. I don’t mind saying I’m still learning, actually I prefer it that way. There's always something new showing up, some case you didn’t expect, and that keeps things real. Whether it's an acute thing or long-term illness, I try balancing evidence-based clinical care with real, kind-of-honest human interaction. Just treating symptoms isn’t enough anymore, right? It's about trust, follow-up, and making patients feel they’re not just in a queue waiting for the next tablet.

I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

I am an Ayurveda physician, working with patients who show up with all kinds of issues—like seriously, the range is wild. From joint pain to digestion stuff to chronic fatigue that doesn't make sense at first, I try to approach each case with a fresh mind and not assume too fast. My work’s not just about throwing herbs at symptoms but actually looking deeper—what dosha’s out of balance? Is the person sleeping right, eating at odd times, mentally stressed? These things build up in the body and the disease is just like the tip of that. I treat using classical Ayurvedic methods—yep, everything from decoctions and churnas to lepas, oils and diet correction. Sometimes a simple lifestyle tweak plus a good formulation can actually shift the whole picture. I also work with people who already on allopathic meds, and we try to reduce overload, not just pile more treatments over it. My approach is about balancing—not only vata, pitta, kapha—but also the patient’s schedule, energy and practical stuff like—will they even follow this routine? There’s no one-size-fits-all in Ayurveda. I believe in sitting down, listening properly and building a treatment that feels like it’s for them—not from a manual. I’m not claiming I cure “everything” (that’d be weird), but yes I do deal with a lot—from migraines, acidity, hormonal ups-downs to skin flareups or sleep that just... won’t come. Sometimes people ask me, is this gonna take forever to work? Honestly, I don’t rush the healing process but I won’t drag it either. I track how you’re responding & we adapt things along the way. That’s the good thing about being in this field—flexibility + rooted in ancient systems that still make sense in this crazy-modern life.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with 15+ yrs into clinical practice, and honestly, I still feel like I’m learning w every patient. Most of my work is rooted in classical texts—true—but I also spend a lot of time adapting that to real ppl’s lives. I mainly deal with lifestyle disorders, skin issues, joint pain stuff… but truth is, nothing ever shows up isolated. One thing’s always tied to another—like gut to skin, or stress to inflammation, etc. That’s kinda where my obsession with prakriti-vikriti balance started. I do a lot of work with chronic joint conditions—arthritis, cervical/lumbar spondylosis, autoimmune inflammations too. Panchakarma is the backbone there, esp Basti & Abhyanga, plus meds that don’t hit digestion too hard. I mix rehab therapy too for better movement—treatment can't just be internal always. For skin, I mostly see acne, eczema, pigmentation stuff, psoriasis. I usually go with detox + rasayana + diet + maybe some lifestyle shifts (no one likes that part much, lol, but it works best). I’m also kinda strong about Dinacharya & Ritucharya. Not just as theory but actual practice. Like, people wanna fix illness but they don’t realize their day-to-day is half the problem. That’s where my role is—I help them tweak diet routines, explain their dosha patterns in simple language, stuff they can hold onto even after treatment ends. End of day, my aim isn’t just "symptom relief"—it’s giving ppl a way back into their body. Teaching them they can trust it again. That’s the real healing. And when someone finally tells me their pain's gone or skin feels better or digestion is quiet—those small things—that's what makes this whole Ayurveda journey worth it. Every single time.

I am working in Ayurveda from more than 10 years now and honestly that time feels both long and short.. long because of the number of patients I see everyday and short because there is always new case to learn from. My work is mostly integrative, I dont just stop at symptom relief but try to get into root cause, sometimes it takes extra time but I feel that is the only way it works. My main area is spine and orthopeadic problems like sciatica, spondylitis, slipped disc, frozen shoulder, stiff joints etc where I use Panchakarma, herbal medicines and some rehab style exercises together. Patients who come with long history of backpain usually respond well when both detox and strenghtening go side by side. I also treat many women who have issues like PCOS, irregular cycles, painful periods, even hormonal imbalance. For them I rely more on Prakriti based diet plans, herbal rasayanas, and cleansing therapies. Sometimes it is slow progress but once balance returns they feel much more in control of health. Respiratory complaints like asthma, recurrent cold, sinus and bronchitis also form big part of my practice, here I mix formulations with diet correction and breathing routines, small things like avoiding wrong food combinations make huge difference. Skin and allergy problems I see often—eczema, psoriasis, urticaria—these need patience. I focus on purification first, then external oils and lepas. Many patients come after trying steroid creams for years, and seeing them improve with steady Ayurveda care gives confidence to continue this path. I also manage neurological disorders, migraine headaches, insomnia, stress and even stroke rehab with Rasayana therapy and nervous system calming methods. Gut problems like acidity, IBS, constipation are very common, here I always look at Agni correction, simple detox and lifestyle tweaks. My consultations usually start with pulse check (Nadi Pariksha), Prakriti assessment and dosha imbalance mapping. I try to explain to patients in simple words what is happening inside, because once they understand, compliance increases. I believe healing works best when patient is active part of process not just receiver. Overall my aim is always restore balance and vitality using authentic Ayurvedic methods yet keeping practical sense of modern lifestyle.

I am someone who’s always kinda stayed close to the roots of Ayurveda, but also needed that real-world exposure to see what actually works in people’s lives, you kno? I spent 2 years working at a Patanjali clinic, which really gave me hands-on time with herbal formulations, panchakarma, and some very old-school treatment approaches—things that don’t just treat symptoms but go deep into why the imbalance even started. I saw all sorts of cases there—joint pain, acidity, eczema, even hormonal stuff. What stood out was how unique each person responds, even if the diagnosis looked similar on paper. That made me slow down and go deeper into prakriti-vikriti analysis during consults. Still do that actually. After that I joined National Health Mission as a Medical Officer and stayed there for 8 yrs straight—major chunk of my practice, honestly. That phase made me sharper, more grounded. I was handling so many different kinds of cases every day, mostly in rural belts—fevers, diabetes, hypertension, skin disorders, even pregnancy complications at times. People didn’t always come in early or with full info, which meant learning to pick up on subtle things quickly. We also did a lot of preventive health camps, which I actually liked doing. Teaching women about postpartum care or working with anganwadi workers on child nutrition—those moments felt like true community Ayurveda in action. Now when I plan treatment, I don’t rush into herbs or therapies right away. First I try to understand samprapti—the disease process. What’s happening, where’s it stuck, what’s the body saying and what’s being missed. I use ahara, vihara, aushadha, and sometimes detox plans—but only if the body can handle it. I also explain all of that to patients, not in textbook Sanskrit, but in words they’ll relate to. They need to own their healing for it to actually work. My whole approach is to make care affordable, practical, and rooted in classical principles—not flashy, not rushed. I’m always learning still, but one thing I’m sure of is that real change happens when the patient feels seen, heard, and guided—not just treated.

I am working in Ayurveda with this mix of hands-on patient care and academic teaching that really keeps my mind active. Earlier I was a consultant at Savitri Devi Maternity Hospital for about a year, mostly handling women’s health, post delivery care, newborn wellness. That was a time when I learned so much about how classical ayurvedic methods actually blend into modern maternity care… sometimes it’s not as simple as the books says, you need to adjust for the real world. The maternity ward gave me a lot of insight into postnatal recovery, lactation issues, child immunity building – all from an Ayurvedic angle but keeping safety first. Right now I am an Assistant Professor at BHDJI Ayurvedic College, Badal, teaching since almost 1.5 yrs. In class I try to go beyond the syllabus, sharing real patient cases, encouraging them to question and research instead of just memorizing. I like the idea of shaping the next lot of vaidyas who can balance tradition with evidence, not blindly follow either. This also keeps me updated – students sometimes bring in fresh perspectives or new studies that I may not have seen yet. Clinically my work still focuses a lot on chronic skin conditions, digestive troubles, hair fall, and child immunity enhancement, especially with Suvarnaprashan Sanskar. I believe in personalizing the treatment, checking the prakruti, lifestyle, even small habits before suggesting anything. And yes, sometimes results take longer but that’s how sustainable healing works, without harming the body with harsh chemicals or unnecessary drugs. My aim is pretty simple – treat in a way that fits the patient’s life and constitution, using Ayurveda’s depth but without ignoring the changes in today’s health needs. It’s a balance, not always perfect, but one I keep learning to handle better every day.
