Dr. Brinda Bhardwaj
Experience: | 4 years |
Education: | Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working around proctology these days—Arsha, Bhagandara, Parikartika. Stuff ppl usually don’t talk about openly but suffer from for years, and yeah, I deal with that using Ksharasutra and other Ayurvedic protocols that actually hold up in real world. My hands are steady with anorectal cases but I also keep getting patients with bone-joint issues like Sandhigata Vata or weird Vata disorders that don’t always show up clearly in tests, and we still manage them well.
I’ve seen chronic urinary issues too, like Mutrakrichra where ppl have tried 10 different things before landing in my OPD. I use herbal meds, sometimes snehan/swedan, and some panchakarma where needed. I kinda got pulled into wound care too—chronic non-healing types, post-op ulcers, diabetic foot sometimes. That space needs time & trust, and ayurved has a lot to offer there if we just mix our tools wisely.
I also try keeping gut health in check bcz most of these probs start there only. It's not one formula fits all, every case walks in with a diff story, and ya, my plan always moves around what the patient's system is ready for. Not just fast fix but lasting relief, proper healing of dhatus. That's where I keep my attention. |
Achievements: | I am not really the award-chasing type, honestly... but if u ask what really feels like an achievement, it’s when a patient walks out lighter than they came in. Like that lady who had Bhagandara for 3 years & couldn’t sit properly, and after Ksharsutra+some diet tweaks she finally said she could sleep fine—man, that felt huge. those are the wins I really keep close. Healing someone’s chronic pain or seeing them smile back again, that’s the only reward that actually stays with me. |
I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Shalya Tantra at Shiva Ayurvedic Medical College, Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, and yeah, I juggle between clinicals, surgeries and a fair bit of classroom chalk dust. My focus stays rooted in Ayurvedic surgery, especially the proctology part—Arsha, Bhagandara, and Parikartika—those cases don’t scare me anymore, in fact I like working with them. I did my UG and PG from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science & Research, Bengaluru. It's a place where classical texts were treated like gold but we still got real-world exposure. That combo shaped a lot of what I do today. During my MD in Shalya Tantra, I got deep into Ksharasutra chikitsa and its real-life application. I won’t say every case went perfectly, but many of them gave me strong confidence to blend the traditional line with modern operative techniques when needed. Honestly, I believe Ayurved can hold its own in surgical domains if done rightly—with patience, skill, and clarity. My patient care usually starts with listening more than speaking, then goes from diagnosis to therapy in a flow that’s not just about the procedure. Internal meds, diet recommendations, some pathya-apathya advice—everything adds up. I avoid overdoing unless absolutely needed. Less can be more in many surgical cases, especially chronic anorectal ones. Teaching too keeps me sharp. Students have a way of asking exactly what you didn’t prepare for :) But that’s the charm. I focus on making Shalya Tantra feel useful and alive, not just a theoretical subject. We cover practicals, case-based discussions, post-op followups—anything that gets their hands and minds into it. Outside class and OPD, I keep sharing stuff, cases, observations on academic platforms. Keeps my own learning alive and relevant. For me, surgery isn’t a solo act, it’s a mix of planning, steady hands, and strong roots in Ayurved's logic. And maybe a little instinct.
