Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 72

I am currently working as an Assistant Professor at NEIAFMR in Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh, which is quite an interesting place to be honest… not just because of the location but the work environment too. My role here isn’t just about teaching, though that’s a big part of it, but also about guiding students in understanding the depth of Ayurveda, especially in areas where traditional knowledge meets modern research. Sometimes the classroom discussions drift into real-life case applications, which I actually like because it keeps things practical rather than only theory. Being in an institute like NEIAFMR also means I get involved in academic activities beyond the routine lectures — from supervising practical sessions to contributing to institutional projects. There’s also a lot of interaction with colleagues from different specialities, and that sort of exchange does help broaden one’s own approach toward patient care and research ideas. Pasighat itself gives a unique backdrop to my work… the local community, their health challenges, and their openness to Ayurveda make it a place where I can see the real impact of what we teach. Sometimes resources aren’t as smooth as in metro cities, but that also pushes you to be adaptive, to find ways of delivering the same quality of education and healthcare support. In short, my role blends academic teaching, student mentorship, and staying rooted in practical application of Ayurvedic principles. It’s demanding, yeah, but also quite rewarding when I see students grow confident in their skills and when the work we do inside the classroom reflects in better understanding of Ayurveda outside it.

I specialise in the Ayurvedic management of lifestyle disorders and hair health, combining classical principles with a modern, patient-focused approach. Lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, thyroid imbalances, and PCOS are increasingly common due to sedentary living, poor dietary habits, and chronic stress. My work focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of these conditions through personalised, constitution-based care. By understanding an individual’s prakriti (constitution) and dosha imbalances, I aim to restore harmony in body, mind, and spirit, promoting sustainable wellness rather than temporary relief. Alongside lifestyle disorders, I have a special focus on hair health, recognising that concerns like hair fall, premature greying, and lack of vitality often reflect deeper systemic imbalances. Ayurveda views hair as an indicator of overall health, making it an essential part of holistic well-being. My approach emphasises strengthening the body from within, improving digestion, balancing hormones, and supporting mental calmness, which naturally enhances hair health. I believe in empowering individuals with knowledge and practical lifestyle changes that align with Ayurvedic principles. My goal is to help people not only recover from existing issues but also build resilience for the future, embracing Ayurveda as a way of life for lasting health and natural vitality.

I am an Ayurvedic consultant who’s been trying to explain for years that wellness is not just about treating symptoms or waiting till things go really wrong. Most people don’t realize how much their day-to-day habits—like sleep, diet, the mental clutter they’re carrying all the time—are actually shaping their health, in quiet but real ways. I focus a lot on this connection between lifestyle, food, and the calmness of mind. Sounds basic? It’s not. Most folks I meet are overwhelmed, burnt out, running on autopilot. And that’s where Ayurveda steps in, not just to fix but to *re-align* the system. My approach leans heavily on classic Ayurvedic principles, but I don’t push rigid routines. What I do is actually more personal—looking at the patient’s prakriti, history, and environment, and helping them create something *sustainable*—not some detox trend that falls apart in a week. Diet is huge in my consultations. But again, not just “eat healthy” advice. I mean deeply Ayurvedic, season- and constitution-based food planning. I work closely with people who are dealing with lifestyle diseases, stress-related issues, digestive imbalances… sometimes even before symptoms are full-blown. Prevention is big here—though honestly not enough people pay attention to that until they have to. Calming the mind is another underrated piece. Not just meditation—though yes, it can help—but identifying the real stressors, the pacing of life, mental *agni* so to speak. Helping patients re-discover a sense of pace and balance they might’ve lost somewhere along the way. Anyway... Ayurveda has a rhythm, and I’m here to help people tune back into it. Not quick fixes, not magic pills. Just step-by-step guidance using tools that’ve been working for thousands of years. I’m still learning too, btw. Every patient brings something new. But that’s the part I like. Keeps me from just repeating protocols or getting too “formulaic” with treatment plans.. even if it means reworking things from scratch sometimes!!

I am practicing Ayurveda since 3 years now, and tbh even though that number looks small on paper—it sure feels way more intense when you think of the daily exposure to different conditions, people, energies. I focus mainly on holistic wellness, with a strong bend toward balancing the body-mind equation. Sometimes ppl ask if I only give herbs but truthfully it’s more about understanding the why behind the illness... not just the what. My work usually involve personalized treatment planning, where I mix classical Ayurvedic concepts—like dosha analysis, ahara-vihara (diet & lifestyle), and detox via Panchakarma—based on how the person is living right now. That dynamic bit matters. One patient with acidity might need total food overhaul. Another? Just better sleep and breath practices. I learnt to not jump into “fixing” unless I’m hearing fully. The past 3 years taught me to observe subtle signs more deeply. Like the small fatigue before full-blown fatigue. I don’t claim big breakthroughs, but I’ve seen lives shift—chronic migraines fading, IBS calming down, periods regularising, skin healing slowly from inside-out. And that feels huge. Every day kinda grows me. Whether it’s a simple consultation, or longer therapies, I try to keep things real, rooted, and not rushed. And yes there’s still lot to explore. But I’m in this for the long run and I want ppl to know that healing doesn’t mean perfection—it just means balance, awareness, and the willingness to start.

I am Dr Purva Balkrishna Amin, an Ayurved Consultant who’s mostly into treating chronic and lifestyle-linked stuff, like metabolic issues, gynac conditions, joint probs (the kind that just hang around forever), and yeah—skin too. I use a mix of palliative methods and deep internal cleansing…what we call biopurificatory therapy in Ayurveda, which honestly makes such a huge diff when you do it right. Some cases need just balance, others demand a full reset—and that’s where I come in. I mostly rely on ayurvedic meds, no shortcuts. But that’s never enough on its own. I do prescribe diet, very customized ones actually—'cause two people with same problem may still need very different food habits. Same with movement. If I feel like the patient’s routine or prakriti needs a tweak, I also suggest an exercise plan. It’s not gym talk, I mean stuff that suits their doshas and energy. And I ask them to stick with it not out of pressure but bcoz consistency is kinda everything if you want real healing and not just temp relief. I do believe discipline matters. Like not the harsh kinda discipline, but the slow, quiet kind where ppl just stay true to their healing plan. That’s when body starts to change, symptoms slow down, and confidence builds. Also I try to keep the vibe human...not every condition is curable maybe, but every person is treatable, that’s the line I keep in mind. Every case teaches me something new too...and I don’t mind admitting I still pause before complicated diagnoses sometimes, not bcoz of doubt but because Ayurveda has layers, and it makes you think deeper if you're doing it honestly. I aim to bring that level of care to whoever walks in.

I am Dr. Happy Patel, right now in my 1st year of MD in Dravyaguna at Parul Institute of Ayurved, Parul University. I guess my whole thing kinda revolves around understanding the real essence of medicinal plants—not just listing herbs but digging deep into what makes each of them tick... like how their rasa, guna, virya, vipaka and prabhava actually work inside a body, especially in connection with a patient’s prakriti and doshic imbalance. I do spend most of my time between academics and clinical postings, but outside of that I also treat patients independently—when approached—especially using single drug therapies or classical combinations that match dosha and vyadhi properly. Sometimes I just sit and go back to the basics before I pick a herb… like not just "use haridra for this," but "is this the haridra that suits this person right now?" That sorta stuff. Materia medica is something I take really seriously. I’m always trying to match the pharmacological properties of herbs with what the body needs—not in a broad way, but real specific. I don’t believe in random prescribing just coz a formulation’s famous or commonly used... I want it to make sense. Also I’m big on yukti upayoga—using plants intelligently, with full context. My work till now (though still early) is focused on keeping ayurveda’s original wisdom intact, but also not turning it into a museum piece. Like, ya it’s ancient but that doesn’t mean it can’t solve modern issues if you apply it right. Just takes effort, patience... and the right dravya, used the right way.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor mostly focused on infertility and sexual health stuff—that’s where my core work’s been lately. A lot of my patients come in after trying a bunch of other things, kinda frustrated or confused. What I try to do is look beyond just the symptoms or lab values—I start with Prakruti analysis (that’s like their Ayurvedic constitution), and from there build out a plan that makes sense for their *real* life… not just some ideal protocol. I’ve worked with couples going through all kinds of fertility struggles—delayed ovulation, low sperm count, repeated miscarriages—and while not every case turns fast, I’ve seen how deeply personalized Ayurvedic therapy (with right herbs, Panchakarma if needed, diet shifts, and timing corrections) can start changing things. And no, I don’t just rely on theory—I use reports, scans, hormone patterns etc to track actual progress too. I also deal with male sexual health a fair bit—things like premature ejaculation, ED, low libido. I don’t rush into rasayanas or heavy aphrodisiacs unless they *fit*. Often, digestion, stress, or sleep issues are the real culprits under the surface. For me, the goal isn’t just symptom-fix. It’s more like restoring balance across levels—physical, emotional, hormonal. I use classical Ayurvedic texts as my base but I tweak a lot depending on how the person’s body is responding. Nothing rigid. Just real care that evolves case by case. If you're looking for a serious, safe and actually thought-thru plan for longterm reproductive wellness—not just a quick fix—I’d say we’re probably on the same page.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor still figuring out some parts of the journey, but yeah, been deeply into this since around 5 years now, and practicing properly for over a year. What pulled me in was the way Ayurveda looks at *why* something is happening instead of just stopping what’s happening. That idea of going to the root, not just the visible symptoms—that really stayed with me. I focus mostly on pain managment (joint issues, muscular, even chronic back pain stuff), diabetes care (it's more layered than just sugar levels honestly), and a lot of gut issues too—acidity, bloating, IBS-like things that people usually just ignore till they can’t. Lately I’ve been handling more urology-related cases as well, stuff like UTI, urine retention, and male sexual disorders. Oh, and cosmetic concerns too—skin issues like acne, hairfall, pigmentation; not always life-threatening but they do affect confidence n’ mental space. Headaches? Yeah, those too—sometimes it’s sinuses, sometimes just stress piled up over months, and the answer’s never *just* a medicine. I try to align treatment to each person’s *Prakruti*—like their natural constitution, not just what their reports say. For some ppl lifestyle changes work fast, for others it’s slow and you need to rework diet n sleep patterns. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all kind of approach... rarely ever works. Not everything’s perfect in this field either. There’s moments of doubt—did I choose the right herb? did that patient understand what I meant by vata aggravation? But overall, watching ppl come back after weeks and say things like “my pain’s reduced” or “my digestion feels lighter now”–that’s what keeps me here. Not chasing perfection, just consistent, root-level care.

I am someone who’s kinda taken the long road through different corners of Ayurveda practice in Maharashtra—each place, each hospital, gave me something new to figure out. I’ve worked at Tarachand Ayurved Hospital in Pune, which honestly gave me some solid grounding, like hands-on stuff you can't just read in books. Then came Sassoon Hospital—AYUSH dept. there was different... faster pace, diff crowd, and yeah more challenges too. Spent time at Rural Hospital Jejuri near Pune, where things were a little rough but that’s where I got a feel for rural setups, you know, less tech more instinct. Then I was at Vishwaanil Ayurved Clinic in Vairag, Solapur—small place but packed with people who just trust Ayurveda. That kinda stayed with me. Lastly PIOS Hospital, Jaysinghpur in Kolhapur—more integrated work there, seeing how different systems meet but still keeping ayurvedic core intact. All these experiences kinda shaped how I treat now—sometimes I’ll go all classical with herbs n’ all, and other times, tweak it based on what’s real for that patient, that day. Nothing’s copy-paste. Every place taught me somthing different—some patience, some speed, some doubt also but yeah it helped me grow in ways I didn’t plan. Still learning. Always am.

I am practicing since about 1 year and 8 months now—not a huge stretch maybe, but honestly feels like I've already walked through quite a mix of cases. And each one kinda shaped how I look at healing. Right from my first OPD posting, I got into hands-on mode with panchakarma-based treatments, and yeah, chronic issues like thyroid, joint stiffness, stones, even infertility cases—those started showing up more often than I thought. Some were complex, some unpredictable. But I stayed with it, trying to figure what exactly worked and when. I like taking time to actually hear the full picture from patients. Sometimes ppl just mention one thing, like back pain, but turns out they’re dealing with hormonal imbalances or digestion that’s all messed up too. That’s why I don’t rush—my approach's slow-ish, maybe, but thorough. I believe in tailoring the treatment, like really listening to what the body’s trynna say. And during this period I also kept showing up in field camps, hospital rotations, even got involved with elocution and poster presentations—those things helped build confidence outside the clinic too. I’m still figuring a few things out, I mean, learning doesn't stop right? But for now I’m grounded in what I know and curious about what I don’t. That balance keeps me goin'.
