Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 7

I am an Ayurveda doctor who finished internship at Govt Ayurvedic College, Vadodara — that period was intense but also where I really learnt what textbooks alone can’t teach. I got to work directly with senior physicians, watching how they approach each patient differently, even when diagnosis sounded “same” on paper. I participated in OPD and IPD cases, handled routine checks, and slowly started building confidence in connecting dosha imbalance with real symptoms. During that year, I saw patients with arthritis, digestive troubles, skin problems, respiratory disorders, and chronic conditions that required patience as much as treatment. I was also exposed to Panchakarma in practice, not just as a theory subject — how to prepare patients, how to monitor them during therapies, and the importance of proper follow-up care. That hands-on made me realize how Panchakarma is both science and art, needing attention to detail at every step. The experience deepened my respect for individualized treatment. No two patients responded the same, even with similar medicines. I learnt to look at prakriti, agni, mental state, diet history — and then think about what therapy or herb would suit. The focus was never symptom suppression, it was root-cause balance and guiding patients towards lifestyle changes they could actually follow. More than anything, internship showed me the value of patient-centered care — being compassionate, explaining things in simple words, and involving patients in their healing. That’s a skill I still carry forward. Now, I am passionate about combining this strong foundation in Ayurveda with practical, evidence-based approaches to help people find long-term wellness. My aim remains the same as what I learnt during those days — holistic healing that respects the individuality of each patient, and restores balance in body, mind and spirit.

I am an Ayurveda doctor with 8 years of practice, and in that time I’ve realized every patient is diff — not just by disease but by prakriti, lifestyle, emotions too. My work is mainly centered on giving personalized consultations where I take time to listen, observe carefully, and then design treatments that actually match the person rather than a standard list. I rely on Ayurvedic herbs, classical formulations, natural remedies, and try to use them in the way texts meant — simple but powerful when used rightly. Panchakarma is one of my strong areas. Over the years I handled many cases with Vamana, Virechana, Basti and Nasya, and each showed me how cleansing done properly changes outcomes so much more than just oral medicines. But Panchakarma isn’t for everyone, sometimes a gentle diet or yoga therapy works better. That’s why I mix Panchakarma knowledge with therapeutic yoga, Ayurvedic nutrition, and lifestyle guidance to build full wellness programs. I see patients with chronic conditions often — arthritis pain, digestive disturbances, hormonal imbalance, skin diseases, stress related complaints — and my focus is always on root-cause healing. Helping patients align daily routines and diet with Ayurveda principles usually gives long-term benefits, and I believe in making changes sustainable, not overwhelming. At the core my approach is compassionate and patient-centric. I don’t want people to just “follow orders” but to understand why they are doing it, because when they feel part of the process, healing stays. My aim is simple: to help individuals regain balance, improve vitality, and maintain wellness in a natural, holistic way that lasts.

I am currently pursuing my MD in Kaumarbhritya (Ayurvedic Pediatrics) as JR3, after completing BAMS from SCM Govt Ayurvedic Medical College, Satara — and honestly, the deeper I go into this field, the more I realise how nuanced pediatric care really is. It’s not just about giving sweet-tasting medicines and making the kid smile (tho that matters too)... it’s about understanding how their body reacts, grows, and heals so differently than adults. Every stage from newborn to teenage is like a separate chapter with its own doshic quirks and care needs. Over time, I’ve gotten solid clinical exposure — managing day-to-day illnesses like cough, fevers, skin rashess, but also bigger patterns like poor weight gain, digestion issues, behavioral changes that show up with no obvious reason, and sometimes chronic stuff like asthma or childhood eczema. I try to go beyond the surface — look at birth history, ahara-vihara, family environment, how much screen time... yeah even that plays a role now. My strength is sticking to the classical Ayurvedic tools — srotas analysis, prakriti-vikriti check, bal pariksha — while still being open to modern diagnosis when needed. Not everything shows up on nadi, right? Sometimes a blood test or scan clears up doubts. But once diagnosis is clear, I usually prefer simple, child-friendly interventions... herbal formulations, swaras, ghee preps, and basic lifestyle shifts the family can actually manage without going crazy.

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’s handled both the medical side and the messy day-to-day running of an Ayurveda center — I was the Center Head and Consulting Physician at Travancore Ayurveda Hospital, and honestly that role taught me more than just clinical stuff. Yes, I did regular OPD consultations, but also had to make sure everything worked right — from therapies being done on time to patient feedback, even inventory when things got tight. Kind of kept me grounded, made me look at healthcare as a system, not just prescriptions. Most of the cases I managed there were chronic — arthritis flares, kidney stones coming back again n again, skin issues that didn't respond to topical meds, hair fall that had more to do with pitta-vata than just shampoos, and even some tough eye complaints. I wasn’t trying to “cure” everything fast, just tried to listen, dig deeper, figure out where the imbalance was coming from. Not every treatment went smooth, of course. Some ppl stopped midway, others doubted Ayurveda at first — but many came back when they felt even slight relief, which I guess says something. I usually work through classical Ayurvedic frameworks — looking at dosha, dhatu level, srotas, etc — but I also do practical planning. No point giving a 10-step regimen when the patient can’t follow half of it, right? I try to personalize treatment — herbs, diet tweaks, simple routines, sometimes Panchakarma if needed. And yeah, I really try to explain things in normal words... like why digestion has anything to do with rashes or joint swelling, or how lifestyle pushes vitiation of doshas. Whether it's painful joints, recurring UTIs or stones, eczema patches that won't leave, or patchy hair loss that hits confidence — I’ve seen how Ayurveda can actually help, not just mask it. Still learning, still fixing things on the go, but I try to stay close to what the shastras teach, while also adapting to real life situations people are stuck in.

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 an Ayurveda General Practitioner with lil over 3 yrs of solid hands-on clinical experience, currently practicing at Kottakkal Aryavaidyasala Agency. Most of my days are spent treating people with joint pain, arthritis (all types—RA, OA, even some rare ones), cervical spondylosis, low back pain, and a whole lot of musculoskeletal stuff that just doesn’t seem to go away for many folks. I’ve come to notice that chronic issues like these need way more than just pain relief... they need deep correction and a clear understanding of where the doshas are acting up. At the same time, I’ve also been managing women’s health cases — things like irregular periods, PCOS-related hormonal shifts, low energy, and even basic fertility-related concerns. I lean on classical Ayurvedic formulations and principles for all of these, not shortcuts. Every patient is different, and I’ve learnt over time that knowing a person’s *Prakriti* well makes a huge difference in how well and how fast they respond to treatment. Alongside treatment for diseases, I pay a lot of attention to boosting immunity and maintaining general wellness too. Sometimes that means a Panchakarma detox, sometimes just diet corrections or a lifestyle reset. It’s not a “one thing fits all” kinda thing — and I try to remind patients of that gently, cause many arrive with fixed ideas or past disappointment. Something else I should maybe mention — I’ve completed the Basic Life Support (BLS) training from the American Heart Association (AHA). That’s helped me stay grounded during acute scenarios or emergencies. Not everyday is textbook-perfect, so being prepared helps. I wouldn’t say I handle trauma cases daily, but it matters that I *can* step in responsibly if needed. My approach is clean, classical, and rooted in the real science of Ayurveda — I’m not into wellness trends or “quick detox” fads. If you’re looking for honest, patient-first, no-drama care, I try to keep it that way. Every case teaches something new tbh... and I’m still learning, every day. **Keywords**: Ayurveda general practitioner, arthritis treatment, joint pain, cervical spondylosis, gynecological disorders, Panchakarma, hormonal imbalance, Kottakkal Aryavaidyasala, BLS certified, Ayurvedic lifestyle care.

I am a dedicated Viddhakarma and Agnikarma specialist, and my work really revolves around using these two powerful Ayurvedic procedures in a practical, result oriented way. Over the years I’ve seen how much they can help—whether it’s stubborn joint pain that doesn’t ease with routine medicines, or a chronic skin lesion that just keeps troubling a patient. I focus a lot on musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, spine issues, arthritis, skin disease, even long standing chronic pains that impact daily life. For me it always start with proper patient assessment, looking at prakriti, vikriti, and the whole health context, because these therapies are not one size fit all. Viddhakarma and Agnikarma, when used right, act very fast but still work on deeper level.. giving relief that is not just temporary. Many patients report improvements in mobility, reduction in pain, and even better quality of sleep and day-to-day energy after sessions. That sort of recovery makes me confident about the strength of these classical methods. I also try to balance precision with safety—because both procedures need careful handling. Agnikarma especially, if done wrongly, can cause unnecessary burns, but with correct application it gives almost immediate reduction in pain. Same with Viddhakarma, which can look simple but requires anatomical understanding and steady practice. My goal is to ensure patients feel safe, supported, and also educated about what is happening in their treatment. In clinical practice I avoid just covering symptoms. For example, someone with chronic back pain might feel better after Agnikarma, but if lifestyle and posture aren’t corrected the problem will come back. So I integrate diet guidance, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes herbal medicines or Panchakarma support. That way the results last longer and patients build confidence in natural healing. I believe these two procedures represent the essence of Ayurveda—powerful, simple, but deeply effective when chosen wisely. Every case teaches me something new, and every recovery reinforces my trust in authentic Ayurvedic healing. My aim is always to use Viddhakarma and Agnikarma not just as technical skills, but as transformative tools that help patients regain control over their health with minimal side effects and maximum impact.

I am someone who believe that real healthcare is not about choosing Ayurveda or Allopathy but about knowing how both can work together. In my practice I keep that balance practical—Ayurveda takes the lead in chronic, long-standing lifestyle disorders where natural therapies, herbal protocols, Panchakarma and diet correction show results that last. Allopathy I reserve for acute emergencies, trauma, critcal cases, those moments where stabilizing the patient first is the only safe choice. For me, that mix is not confusion, its clarity. Most of my Ayurvedic work is with thyroid disorders, PCOD, skin diseases, metabolic issues like diabetes, obesity, plus other lifestyle related conditions. I use classical methods like prakriti-vikriti assessment, detox therapies, evidence-based herbs, and diet/lifestyle corrections. With this approach I have seen patients gain real relief, not just short symptom control but deeper improvements in health and routine living. On the emergency side, my training in critical care exposed me to tough scenarios—sudden cardiac problems, severe infections, respiratory failures, trauma—and I learned how structured protocols and quick actions save lives. That pressure sharpened my judgement and actually help me in calmer clinic OPD practice too, because I know when not to delay, when safety must come first. I try to make patient care transparent. I explain what’s happening, why lifestyle correction is needed, where Ayurveda will help most, and where Allopathy can’t be replaced. I want patients to feel guided not pushed, to see that these systems don’t fight each other but can strengthen the outcome when combined properly. Each case is different—sometimes a herbal plan with diet works on its own, other times emergency support with modern drugs and monitoring is unavoidable before shifting back to Ayurveda. For me the focus is never textbook alone, but the person in front of me. At the end I want to help people not only treat the illness but build a balance in body, mind and daily life that last beyond the treatment.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with 3 years of clinical practice, and in this short time I already seen how deeply Ayurveda can change lives when applied with care and patience. At the start, I wasn’t sure if people would fully trust natural healing over modern shortcuts, but watching patients with long-standing gastric troubles, skin rashes, stress issues or hormonal disturbances slowly improve convinced me every day that I was on the right path. My work is not just about prescribing medicines, it’s about listening closely and then designing something that actually fits their prakriti and daily life. During these 3 yrs I handled cases ranging from digestive problems like hyperacidity and IBS to respiratory conditions such as asthma or seasonal bronchitis. I also supported women with menstrual irregularities and menopausal changes, creating diet and lifestyle plans that gave relief without depending on heavy medication. Mental health is another part of my interest—I meet many people struggling with stress, anxiety, poor sleep, and with Ayurveda, Panchakarma, counseling and small lifestyle tweaks I help them feel more grounded. My approach is always personalized. For one patient a detox through virechana or basti might be needed, while for another just a few changes in daily routine, herbal support and mindful eating can bring remarkable results. I also rely strongly on patient education—explaining in simple words why certain food or habits disturb doshas, and how small corrections bring long-term balance. That awareness makes patients part of their own healing journey instead of just waiting for prescriptions. Even in 3 years, the variety of cases gave me a wide exposure and also taught me humility—sometimes progress is fast, sometimes it is very slow, and you need patience to walk with the patient until results come. My goal is always clear: to provide safe, authentic Ayurvedic care that addresses root cause and helps people regain health in a way that lasts.
