Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am into Shalakya Tantra right now, that’s kinda my main zone in Ayurveda – all the tricky stuff with eyes, ears, nose, throat, head & oral cavity. Honestly, these Urdhwajatrugata rogas can get complex, but I like that. I work with things like Timira, Abhishyanda, Kacha, Adhimantha using therapies such as Netra Seka, Tarpana, Putapaka etc, and yep it really needs patience to get the results right. My training also goes deep in Ayurvedic diagnostic tools – Dashavidha Pareeksha, Rogi Rogi Pareeksha – you’d be suprised how much detail they reveal when done proper.
ENT care is another area I keep busy with. Karna rogas like discharge or tinnitus I treat through Karna Purana, Dhoopana, while for nasal issues like chronic rhinitis or sinus congestion I rely on Nasya and Dhoomapana.. sometimes just a small correction in dosha handling makes a big difference. I’m not into one-size fits all kinda plans – I try tailoring protocols based on prakriti, current imbalance and patient comfort.
What I really aim for is bridging the old and new – like, I trust classical methods but I also understand today’s clinical needs. So it’s about giving safe, effective, and sustainable care that actually works long term, not just a quick patch-up. Some days the cases are slow to respond, but when patients start to feel real shifts, that’s worth all the effort! |
Achievements: | I am kinda proud to say I got the Best Intern Award during BAMS... honestly that phase taught me a lot about showing up, not just doing rounds but really listening to patients, even when I wasn’t sure what to say. Early in my practice, ppl actually told me the way I planned treatments felt very personal—guess that built my confidence a bit. Right now while doing PG in Shalakya Tantra, I’m into research stuff too—mainly sinusitis, eye conditions & how classical texts actually sync with real opd scenarios!! |
I am Dr. Sachi A. Mandera, right now doing my postgrad in Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research—yup, that's all about eyes, ENT, head and neck care in Ayurveda. Honestly? it’s a super intricate branch and I love how it blends precision with deeper concepts of dosha balance & sensory health. I did my BAMS with distinction and somewhere along the way got this Best Intern Award—maybe 'cause I couldn't just “watch” cases, I had to get involved, ask questions, observe more than I probably should’ve. Before jumping into PG, I spent around 1.5 years in full-time Ayurvedic practice—OPD stuff, day-to-day consults, all kinds of cases. GI disorders? Yes. Skin issues like eczema or urticaria? Done those. Joint pains and spine stiffness that people just learn to live with? Also tackled that too. I stuck to the core texts, dug into Brihattrayi & Laghutrayi references, but always filtered treatments based on prakriti, agni, desha… not just symptoms. My idea has always been—personalized, not prescriptive. Now, in Shalakya Tantra, my interest’s shifted even deeper into eye care—conditions like Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira (early vision loss), and ENT stuff like Karna Srava (ear discharge), Shira Shoola (headaches) etc. I use Kriya Kalpa procedures like Netra Tarpana, Nasya, Anjana, Karna Purana—often pairing them with Rasayana therapy, some ahara changes, maybe a simple pathya list based on what the patient will actually follow. To me, patient care isn’t just therapy—it’s clarity. Like, I need my patients to understand what we’re doing and why. Language never really stood in the way—I speak English, Hindi, Tamil fluently, and a bit of Gujarati now . I keep the conversations real, clinical but relatable. Not everyone wants a lecture—they want relief, and maybe to feel heard too. I see Ayurveda as this bridge—between disease care and life care. Between what’s wrong now and what needs fixing at the root. And I know I’m still learning, still refining my edge—but I’m here for it. Every case sharpens that.
