Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 74

I am someone who really tries to stick close to what ayurveda *actually* says, not just what sounds trendy or popular. I mean ya I practice Authentic Ayurveda, but that word "authentic" gets thrown around a lot... for me it means going back to the samhitas again n again—checking myself, not just going by memory or half-learned protocols. I’ve been treating patients for a bit over 3 years now, n I still feel like there’s soo much more to figure out each time a new case walks in. In practice I deal with whatever comes honestly, but mostly I’ve been seeing a pattern—patients show up late, like when the symptoms are too obvious to ignore. Whether it’s chronic gut issues, hormonal shifts, pain that refuses to go, or like skin stuff that flares up out of nowhere—Ayurveda has answers, but only if we slow down n listen. That’s the part I try to protect in my consultations: slowness, attention to detail, proper observation... all the things modern lifestyle tries to skip. Sometimes ppl ask me if I only give kadhas or if I do panchakarma too. I say—well depends. Every case doesn’t need the same tool. Some just need correction in ahara-vihar, some need classical meds. I don’t try to impress with complicated sanskrit words unless someone’s really interested. My thing is: make it work in real life. If a teen is struggling with acne from vitiated pitta, they won't fix it just by saying "apply this lepa"—you gotta explain what pitta *does* in their body, make them see the root. That kind of dialogue I really value. And yeah... I’m still learning, I read slower than I want to, n I probably overthink case sheets, but those 3+ years taught me that consistency in Ayurvedic thinking matters way more than shortcuts or flashy products. That’s what I offer. Quiet, solid ayurveda.

I am working in Ayurveda from last 3 years after finishing my post graduation, mostly around Davangere and Belagavi in Karnataka. Those years were not just about applying what I studied in books but actually watching how real patients react to Ayurvedic treatment…sometimes the relief come very quick, sometimes weeks pass and things hardly move, that unpredictble part is what keeps me thinking and learning. In Davangere my practice was more on hospital side where I had to see chronic cases almost daily—arthritis that comes back again and again, gastritis troubling ppl for years, asthma, chronic cough and other respiratory complaints. Many came to me tired from long allopathy use, dealing with side effects, and they wanted some other way. Ayurveda gave them that little space to recover slow but steady, and it gave me courage to see that yes these methods still work today. In Belagavi the scene was different. I was meeting more lifestyle related problems—diabetes, obesity, hypertension, stress induced digestion issues, things that look simple but disturb life every single day. That place taught me to spend more time in counseling, diet correction, panchakarma planning, and sometimes even very small lifestyle adjustmnts like food timing or sleep routines, which slowly but surely change how the treatment outcome looks. My way is not only about giving medicines. I try to see whole picture, how food, work stress, irregular sleep disturb the doshas and how disease actually start from there. I prefer explaining this to patients in simple language, not just Sanskrit words which confuse them more. Over these 3 years I worked with people who carried years of illness history, some improved well, some partially, and some still on longer path... every case left me a new lesson. I also made sure to stay in touch with academics—attending CME programs, clinical discussions with seniors from different ayurveda colleges in Karnataka. Those sessions opened new perspectives while still keeping classical texts as the main guide. Honestly, 3 years may sound short time, but the range of cases from both Davangere and Belagavi made my practice much richer than I imagined. I still make small mistakes here n there in judgement, but each day adds to my confidence that Ayurveda still holds strong answers for today’s chronic and lifestyle disorders.

I am a graduate from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) where my foundation in Ayurveda actually got shaped in a real way—not just textbooks, but also the mindset of how you see health as a whole. What really made a shift for me though was getting the chance to train under some amazing mentors—Vaidya Suvinay Damale Guruji, Vaidya Praveen Banmeru, and Vaidya Sachin Mhaisne. Learning under them was honestly intense but opened my eyes to how deep classical Ayurveda can go... not just herbs and doshas, but logic, nari-pariksha, pathya-apathya, the small things that affect everything. Their clinical approach was practical, rooted, and yet very individualized. That’s what I try to carry into my practice now—when I meet a patient, I don’t jump into protocol mode. I look for patterns, body types, mental state... sometimes even things like weather, eating rhythm, sleep flow, etc. Because yeah, all of it matters in Ayurveda. My main area of work revolves around holistic, patient-specific treatments—meaning no fixed formulas. I usually mix herbal medicines with diet corrections, routine shifting and a lot of small lifestyle tweaks (people underrate those, honestly). Sometimes just balancing sleep or changing dinner timings does more than 3 meds. Consultations with me are less about fast results, more about sustainable healing. I believe every body has its own code and my job is to just help untangle it without pushing things harshly. And yeah, I keep going back to the texts when needed. Charak, Sushruta—they’re not outdated, they’re just under-read.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with 17+ years of practice, sometimes feels strange when I look back how many diff places and ppl I worked with. My journey started in 2007 at Parathuvayalil Hospital, Cochin, where I worked as Resident Medical Officer & Panchakarma Specialist. Those days were all about learning through real patients, the tough grind of classical panchakarma therapies, not just theory. In 2009 I shifted to Carmelia Heaven Plantation Resorts, giving wellness consultations in a resort atmosphere, a very diff vibe but it teached me how Ayurveda can adapt to lifestyle healing too. Then I joined Sarathy Ayurveda Hospital, Aluva in 2009–2010, where the exposure was again more clinical, everyday patients, chronic condtions, long follow ups. 2010 marked a huge turn when I moved to Russia, Atreya Ayurveda in Moscow. Working there till 2013 showed me how Ayurvedic medicine can cross cultures, but also challenged me to keep the authenticity intact. Explaining Panchakarma and herbal protocols to non-Indian patients was not easy, yet it expanded my view. Later, in 2014 I came back to Kerala, worked at Amrita Life Medicines in Kollam, while also running my own small clinic till 2016. Both roles gave me balance of community practice n professional setting. In 2017 I again went abroad as Chief Physician at the Hospital Sanatorium of Ministry of Finance, Atreya Ayurveda, Domodedovo. That post was more responsible, handling complex cases, coordinating treatments, also teaching sometimes. Since 2018 I am settled in Thrissur District, running Chaithanya Clinic, where I focus mainly on chronic and lifestyle disorders—metabolic issues, musculoskeletal probs, stress-linked illnesses, detox and preventive care. Across all these years, what stayed with me is that Ayurveda is not just about medicine or oil treatments, it is about listening closely and guiding ppl through slow but steady healing. My expertise remain in Panchakarma, detoxification, herbal formulations, managing long-term conditions. I try to keep care patient-centered, ethical, sometimes questioning my own methods to refine better.

I am an Ayurveda graduate from VPSV Ayurveda College, Kottakkal—a place where you don’t just study Ayurved, you live it. During my rotatory internship, I got the kind of clinical exposure that really opens up your thinking. I spent months in different departments—taking cases, understanding diagnosis both from shastra view n clinical angle, doing OPD, handling IPD rounds... and yeah, sometimes just listening quietly to patients when they had too much on their mind. Under guidance of seniors, I learned how to plan treatment—not just prescribing medicine, but seeing what kind of body-mind prakriti the person has, how strong their agni is, what the symptoms are really pointing toward. I was part of Panchakarma procedures too—not just reading about them but actually preparing the dravyas, assisting in basti, virechana, abhyanga etc. That hands-on stuff teaches you patience. Timing. Clarity. Medicine preparation was another side I got into—helping in churnas, kashayams, oil prep n even measuring doses right for diff prakriti. We also had exposure to nadi pariksha, assessing ama, dhatu balance, and how diet n lifestyle tie into recovery. One thing I learned fast is, each patient walks in with symptoms—but the root? It’s rarely what they first say. You need to dig a bit deeper, ask better. I’ve always tried to blend the classical principles with modern clinical sense—not getting stuck to either side too rigidly. Like if there’s a thyroid case, I’ll see the TSH levels, sure... but I’ll also ask about sleep, bowel habits, emotions, because that’s where real diagnosis begins. My training showed me how both science n intuition work together in this field. Ayurveda isn’t just about treating—it’s about seeing. Feeling. Listening. That’s what I carry with me now in every consultation.

I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

I am practicing Ayurveda with a mix of old-school faith & just everyday real-world work. My base is solidly classical—Nadi Parikshan, Prakriti reading, that kind of stuff—but I kinda lean into understanding the person too, not just the dosha map. Most of my hands-on learning came during those health camps I did with private ayurveda setups... didn’t realize then how much they’d shape my way of seeing patients now. You talk to 100+ strangers in a day, you feel the difference between textbook and truth. Pulse diagnosis really stuck with me, it just felt right, like a deeper conversation without saying much. I usually do a mix of Nadi + verbal ques to get a full picture before I start building a plan... and no two plans are same. I’m especially into treating joint pains—rheumatoid arthritis being one of those conditions where ppl come in desperate, tired, frustrated... and I do my best to ease that through both internal meds & local therapies. Sometimes all they need is someone to listen for 5 minutes without interrupting, fr. Mental wellness and sexual health... yeah, I’ve worked with those too, and I try to be really careful there. The trust factor matters a ton. I keep my space super confidential, zero judgment, just care. Also trained in Marma therapy and Viddha Karma—used both for stuck pain conditions or things that don’t respond to oral meds alone. Panchakarma is something I keep close, it’s not about overdoing it but using the right shodhana or shamana depending on what the body actually needs. I honestly believe long-term health isn’t about curing just symptoms. That’s why every patient of mine gets some piece of daily routine advice—nothing dramatic, just real changes. Some ppl don’t even need meds, just a small shift in sleep or food and they feel seen, understood. At the end of the day I wanna keep Ayurveda clean, human, & real. Something you don’t just read in books but feel in life.

I am Dr. Arun Sheoran, working as an Ayurvedic physician with my focus kinda fixed on chronic and autoimmune issues because they’re the ones people really struggle to get sorted. Passed my B.A.M.S. in 2018, then moved into post-grad in Panchakarma – that’s where I really dug deep into detox & long term disease handling through proper classical ayurvedic logic. My work now is a mix of theory & a lot of hands-on with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondyltis, IBDs including crohns and ulcerative colitis. Also get quite a few neuro-muscular cases… paralysis, sciatica, cervical spondylosis, etc. I try to keep it evidence-informed but grounded – detox (Shodhana) when the body needs it, personalized herbs, panchakarma plans that actually fit the patient not just the textbook. Skin problems too are a big part of my work, especially psoriasis, fungal skin infections, dermatitis. These usually aren’t just skin-deep – they link with metabolism, immunity, sometimes stress, so my approach there is internal + external. Internal purification, diet tweaks, sometimes quite strict, plus herbal topical care. My belief is always root cause first, symptom suppression last. I want patients to not only feel better but stay better, cutting chances of relapse. That’s where diet, ritucharya, lifestyle, stress control all join in. If someone’s battling a long, repeating or autoimmune problem, I make sure their plan is tailored, practical and doesn’t leave them feeling lost after the treatment ends.

I am Dr. Hemal Shah, an Ayurvedic physician with an M.D. in Ayurveda, trained in Mumbai and working full-time with people who are honestly just tired of temporary fixes. I’ve spent over 6 years in focused clinical practice—most of it rooted in Panchakarma and deep classical healing work. My main areas include digestive issues (Ajirna, Agnimandya, IBS etc.), skin stuff like psoriasis and eczema, infertility cases, and joint-muscle complaints that just keep flaring up for no reason (or at least that's how ppl feel). I mostly approach things from the basics—prakruti, agni, ama, samprapti—because unless we figure that internal terrain, nothing really holds up long-term. Every case starts with listening. Not just to symptoms, but lifestyle, sleep, stress patterns, subtle emotional cues. Then I combine what’s needed: customized detox via Panchakarma, herbs (not always dozens—just the right few), simple diet tweaks that don’t overwhelm, and corrections in routine that actually fit into the patient’s day. I’m not into “one-size-fits-all" therapies. I’ve seen how healing changes when plans match the person’s nature, pace, and real-life limitations. I work a lot with hormonal issues—irregular cycles, PCOS, unexplained infertility—and I’ve learned that many times, calming the system down is the first real step. Same goes with skin—the flare ups are usually telling us something’s off inside. I don’t rush that part. At the same time, I’ve done clinical research on depression too. That showed me how Ayurveda’s mind-body approach—sattvic food, medhya rasayanas, grounding routines, and even small rituals—can shift mental health in a way that’s both subtle n’ powerful. It made me more attentive to how emotional patterns show up in physical symptoms... and vice-versa. Honestly, what I’m trying to do is keep Ayurveda real. Not textbook Ayurveda, but the living kind—the one that adjusts, listens, and evolves with each person. I want my patients to feel they have agency again, that their health is something they can actively shape, not just manage with pills or patchwork. Whether it’s a chronic issue or just this sense of “not feeling right,” I try to be there and offer something that lasts beyond the clinic table.
