Doctor information
Experience:
10 years
Education:
Himachal Pradesh University
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
The work I do kinda spreads across a bunch of different health issues, but there’s a pattern. I mostly focus on post-COVID recovery stuff—fatigue that lingers, low immunity, brain fog kind of things. A lot of patients come in feeling “almost fine” but not quite right, and that’s where Ayurveda really shines if you ask me. I build the plan slowly—using herbs, meals, sleep correction, sometimes just routine shifts that seem small but aren’t. I work a lot with kids too. Pediatric Ayurveda’s not just a softer version of adult care. It’s totally different. Their digestion, growth stages, mental patterns—all that needs a separate lens. I use gentle therapies that don’t shock their system, mostly rasayana and light detox when required. Then there’s women’s health—PCOS, delayed or irregular cycles, hormonal ups and downs. I spend time making diet tweaks, correcting timing, guiding them through small changes that feel doable. We’re not rushing—just stabilizing. I’m also into allergy managment, especially when it comes to food and seasonal triggers. Honestly, most of it starts in the gut. And once we calm the system down, support agni, and reset patterns, things slowly shift. I also help people with stress-based issues, digestion stuff, tiredness that’s just... stuck. Everything I do’s aimed at balance—not suppression. And yeah sometimes that takes time. But it works.
Achievements:
I am Dr. Shruti Shukla and yeah, over the years I’ve had the chance to wear a bunch of hats beyond just clinic work. I was Nodal Officer for Solan during the COVID phase—handling home isolation, quick triage plans, daily reports, all kinds of urgent messes. It really pushed me to think fast but still stay grounded in care. Before that, as Team Head for Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK), I was looking after pediatric health projects—screenings, outreach, follow-ups... honestly, so many kids, each one with diff needs. I also worked as District IEC Head—basically, I had to figure out how to explain health messages that actually make sense to ppl who maybe don’t have a medical background. Getting the language right matters. Same during my time coordinating with Vishwa Hindu Parishad where we built more localized health support through community. None of this was fancy work, but it was ground-level and real. That stuff stays with you.

I am Dr. Shruti Shukla, an Ayurvedic physician with 8+ years of clinical practice—though honestly it still feels like I’m learning something new from each patient I see. My work’s rooted in classical Ayurvedic principles, but I don’t just stick to textbook ideas. I adapt them to real-world problems. Every case feels different, and that’s exactly what keeps this path meaningful for me. Over the years I’ve dived deep into patient-focused, evidence-informed Ayurveda. I’ve taken part in national and international conferences—some academic, some more practical—and they really helped sharpen how I see this field evolving. Not just theory. I mean applying Ayurveda to actual lives, to real bodies under stress, fatigue, post-viral weakness, hormonal chaos… the usual list, right? Recently I trained hands-on in Panchakarma equipment in Mandi, Himachal—and that really changed how I approach detox and rasayana (rejuvenation). It's one thing to read about Basti or Virechana and another to apply it based on a person’s prakriti, state of agni, mental state, even seasonal timing. Panchakarma isn't just cleansing—it’s tuning the body back to center, when done correctly. During the COVID-19 wave I was the Nodal Officer for home isolation in Solan. That period? intense. But it also taught me how much people need calm, clear care when systems are under pressure. Organizing care at that scale made me better at thinking clinically and practically—balancing theory and crisis. Now most of my practice revolves around customizing care—using herbs, diet corrections, daily routine tweaks, therapies where needed. Sometimes just explaining what's happening in the body gives a patient more strength than any medicine. I work with stress disorders, chronic fatigue, digestive complaints, joint pains, women’s health... but also general preventive wellness, like seasonal transition support and immunity care. Ayurveda isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about seeing the full picture. And walking that path gently, not forcefully. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m here to help guide you through it.
