Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 71

I am an Ayurvedic physican working for about 5 years now, and honestly it doesn’t feel that long cause every case still feels new in its own way. I started my journey in 2020—fresh, curious, probably a little overwhelmed too—but from the start I just knew I wanted to help people heal in a way that felt complete. Not just fixing the surface but really clearing out the root causes. That’s what drew me deep into Panchakarma and Rasayana chikitsa. My core work revolves around chronic disorders, lifestyle imbalance stuff, stress-related issues—all those modern complaints that classical Ayurveda actually handles really well when it’s done right. I do a lot of detox plans and internal medicine combos, all tailored. I try not to push one-size-fits-all stuff ever. Sometimes a person just needs Virechana to reset, other times it’s more about calming vata with herbs, daily rhythm, maybe just helping them sleep better again without pills. Most people come to me when they feel stuck. Like they’ve tried everything and nothing really worked. I see that a lot. And ya sometimes it takes patience—on both sides. But I do believe the healing we do with proper ahara-vihara (food + daily living), herbs, and therapies can completely shift the baseline of health. I mix classical texts with a bit of what modern life needs. I mean we can't expect everyone to live like it’s 1000 BCE... but we *can* make small changes that feel real and doable. That’s where I try to meet each patient—somewhere between ancient wisdom and their 9-to-5 reality. End of the day, I just want them to feel like health isn’t out of reach. Just needs the right map... and someone to walk with for a while.

I have had the privilege of receiving diverse and extensive clinical exposure across some of Karnataka’s most respected healthcare institutions. My journey began at Shri Jayachamarajendra Ayurveda and Unani Hospital, Bengaluru, where I gained valuable experience in Ayurvedic clinical practice over a 6-month period. This foundational phase allowed me to understand patient care deeply through classical Ayurvedic diagnostics and therapies. I then served as a trainee in the Department of Psychiatry at NIMHANS, Bengaluru, for 2 months, where I developed an integrated understanding of mental health from both Ayurvedic and modern psychiatric perspectives. This training enhanced my ability to approach psychosomatic and stress-related disorders with a more holistic and empathetic outlook. Further, I underwent training at K.C. General Hospital, Bengaluru, and Government Ayurveda Dispensary, Hirehalli, Tumkuru, each for 2 months. These placements provided hands-on experience in treating a wide spectrum of conditions, including chronic illnesses, respiratory disorders, metabolic syndromes, and women’s health issues in both urban and rural populations. I also worked at Epidemic Disease Hospital, Bengaluru, where I was actively involved in understanding public health management, infectious diseases, and community health dynamics. This experience sharpened my skills in managing epidemic outbreaks and preventive care from an Ayurvedic standpoint. Each of these diverse settings helped me develop a comprehensive, patient-centric approach, blending traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with real-world clinical challenges. I remain deeply committed to delivering personalized care that restores balance and long-term wellness in every patient I meet.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a little over five years into this line of work, and honestly, each year just made me more curious about the depth Ayurveda actually holds. I started off in a small private clinic, kinda unsure how real-world patients would respond to classical methods... but yeah, turns out, if done right, the changes are very real. Over time I ended up working in both clinics and hospital setups, managing more than 200+ cases, not just numbers—these were ppl with very real, different problems and stories. Most of the time, I’m working around digestive issues—like chronic bloating, acidity, constipation, sometimes IBS-type patterns—where Agni plays a huge role and you just can’t rush the process. I also deal with stress-linked conditions a lot (like sleeplesness or fatigue with no clear reason), plus skin probs like acne or eczema and then your lifestyle disorders like borderline diabetes, thyroid shifts, those in-between cases that need long-term hand-holding. In all that, I do spend time explaining the why’s to patients—like how their Prakriti or Vikriti affects how fast or slow they’re recovering. That part feels important. In the hospital zone, things were bit different... had to think in sync with allopathy teams, which actually sharpened my approach in layered cases. Didn’t mean giving up Ayurvedic core—it just meant being smart about integration, esp in chronic stuff that doesn’t fix overnight. That’s where I use Panchakarma, but only if it fits, not just because the textbook says so. I don’t promise miracles but I do push for sustainability. Using herbs, tweaking daily habits, teaching them to watch their own patterns—it’s slow work, but I’ve seen ppl reclaim energy and calm without tons of meds. And that... that’s what keeps me going. My thing really is—blending deep classical theory with what’s doable today. Every patient’s a bit diff, and that makes the whole thing worth it.

I am someone who actually enjoy doing general consultations… maybe more than ppl expect, because there’s something about listening to a patient’s story and trying to connect the dots that feels right to me. I deal with all kinds of stuff — sometimes it’s vague “I just feel off” type things, other times it’s straight forward colds, aches, skin issues, BP checks.. all that. My way is to dig in, not just slap a quick fix, I like finding why the prob is happening in first place. I mix solid clinical evaluation with just… being human, making sure the patient feels comfortable to say what’s really going on. Over the years, I’ve built trust by being honest even if the answer isn’t what they want to hear, and by making sure they leave knowing exactly what next steps are, not half confused. I keep the sessions flexible, but structured enough so we don’t miss important details — looking at medical history, daily habits, even small lifestyle patterns that could be messing with their health. And yes, I do explain stuff in plain language… not just throw medical words. Health education matters to me, cause if someone understands their condition and the plan, they actually follow it better. Whether it’s helping manage a nagging chronic thing in early stages or just ruling out something serious, I focus on accuracy and practicality. My aim is simple really: make sure by the time they step out, they feel heard, clear about what’s happening, and sure we’re on the right path for their health.

I have been actively practicing Ayurveda and Panchakarma therapy for over 11 years, with a strong commitment to restoring health through time-tested Ayurvedic principles. My clinical practice focuses on using Panchakarma—the traditional Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation therapy—as a powerful tool to address chronic diseases, metabolic imbalances, musculoskeletal conditions, and lifestyle disorders. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in tailoring Panchakarma protocols to suit individual prakriti (body constitution) and vikriti (imbalances). I specialize in therapies such as Vamana (therapeutic emesis), Virechana (purgation), Basti (medicated enema), Nasya (nasal cleansing), and Raktamokshana (bloodletting), offering personalized treatment plans based on classical Ayurvedic texts and clinical assessment. My approach to patient care is rooted in deep listening, precise diagnosis, and long-term wellness planning. I emphasize the importance of seasonal detox, dietary discipline, and mind-body harmony to help patients recover from chronic ailments and regain vitality. Whether it is stress-induced conditions, skin diseases, joint pain, digestive issues, or preventive health, I work to restore balance using authentic, holistic methods. With over a decade of hands-on Panchakarma experience, I have witnessed remarkable improvements in my patients’ health, energy, and overall well-being. My mission is to deliver safe, natural, and effective care by blending classical Ayurveda with practical, patient-centered solutions.

I am Dr. Prajakta Kulkarni, an Ayurvedic physician and diet consultant with 15+ years into this field, and honestly—every year just keeps reminding me that food and healing aren’t separate things. My core focus is integrating Ayurvedic nutrition with actual modern dietary needs, like not everyone can live on kitchari and ghee alone, right? My goal’s always been to make Ayurveda feel doable, not distant. I run a global online Ayurvedic diet program—it’s now reached over 100 cities worldwide and still growing. The plan is simple but not basic: it’s tailored for each person’s constitution, goals, and health issues. Whether it’s weight issues, metabolism imbalance, IBS-type digestion drama, hormonal chaos, or even general fatigue—this program works by bringing the body back to balance through food that matches your dosha + condition. The 95% success rate? Not just marketing fluff. That’s real people writing back saying “hey I feel different now.” And that matters. Apart from diet work, I also offer home-based Panchakarma therapy—with Kerala-trained therapists, btw. Which means people can get authentic detox care (like abhyanga, virechana, nasya etc) without going into a clinic they’re not comfy in. I oversee the plan, make sure it suits their needs, and monitor the progress myself. Because I honestly don’t believe healing should come with discomfort or dread. My approach’s always about finding a midpoint between traditional Ayurvedic healing and practical daily life. I don’t tell people to do what isn’t possible for them. Instead, I build around what they can sustain, gently nudging them toward vitality, better digestion, stable energy, and a real sense of balance. It’s not about chasing perfection. It’s about feeling well and knowing how to stay there. At the heart of all this? Just one thing—making Ayurvedic wellness personal, effective, & actually livable in the modern world.

With over 10 years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my practice to delivering comprehensive and personalized care to every patient I meet. Throughout this journey, I have built a strong foundation in diagnosing and managing a wide range of health conditions, while always prioritizing patient comfort, trust, and long-term well-being. My approach integrates deep clinical knowledge with active listening, allowing me to understand each patient's unique concerns and design treatment plans that are both effective and compassionate. Whether addressing routine health issues or supporting patients through more complex medical challenges, I remain committed to continuous learning and evidence-based practice. I believe in clear communication, ethical care, and empowering patients with the information they need to take control of their health. My clinical experience over the past decade has reinforced the value of early intervention, lifestyle awareness, and a holistic outlook in improving health outcomes. Each consultation is more than a diagnosis—it is an opportunity to build a supportive relationship rooted in respect and medical integrity. I look forward to continuing this journey with the same dedication that has guided me for the past ten years.

I am a Panchbhautik Chikitsak and honestly that’s not just a title for me—it’s kinda how I see everything now. Every patient I meet, every condition I treat, it all comes down to what’s going on between the five elements—Prithvi, Ap, Tejas, Vayu, and Akash. Like once you start noticing where that elemental balance is off, the symptoms make more sense. It’s not just acidity or headache or constipation… it’s fire rising, space shrinking, or maybe earth getting stuck somewhere it shouldn’t. What I try to do is keep treatment simple. I don’t like loading people up with tons of tablets or drawn-out therapy plans. Less medicine, shorter durations—that’s the whole idea. If the body's natural balance can be nudged back with the right food, or some subtle gut-cleansing or timing shifts, why interfere more than needed? Ayurveda should feel gentle but deep. Sometimes I’ll only use one mild herb, or just ask them to shift their dinner time an hour earlier... small things, but they move energy in a big way. Most of the cases I get are chronic lifestyle-type stuff—gastritis, migraines, joint pain, piles, fissures, hormonal swings, acne, even weird undiagnosed fatigue that hasn’t gone away in months. What works well in all that is rooting the therapy in Prakriti-Vikriti understanding. I explain to my patients what type of person their body actually is and what disturbs it the most—and believe me, that one clarity alone changes their relationship with their health. They stop doing trial and error. I spend time helping people reconnect with that language—what food supports their element, how season effects their body, what habits are derailing their natural rhythms. Ayurveda isn’t about being complicated, it’s just… specific. And once they get that, I don’t have to do much. They start listening to their body better than before. That's the win.

ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with hands-on clinical experience gained over three years at Sukhayu General Clinic (2021–2024), where I served a diverse patient base with a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. My focus was on providing individualized, evidence-informed Ayurvedic care rooted in classical principles while integrating modern diagnostic understanding. During this time, I developed a strong foundation in treating lifestyle disorders, digestive disturbances, musculoskeletal issues, and general health concerns, using tailored herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, and dietary guidance. In addition to my clinical practice, I recently completed a research tenure with Research Ayu from November 2024 to February 2025, where I actively engaged in evidence-based Ayurvedic study and data-driven exploration into traditional treatment efficacy. This experience helped me deepen my analytical approach and broaden my insight into how classical Ayurvedic knowledge can be effectively documented and adapted to meet modern healthcare needs. Throughout my journey, I have remained committed to offering patient-centric, root-cause-focused healing. Whether through direct care or research, I strive to uphold the integrity of Ayurveda while adapting it to today’s dynamic health challenges. My goal is to empower individuals to take charge of their health through simple, sustainable lifestyle modifications and holistic care.
