Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 74

I am two years into working as an Ayurvedic doctor, and even though that might not sound like a lot, trust me—it’s been packed. Every day, I see people with problems that don’t always fit neatly into diagnosis boxes. Headaches that don’t go away, digestion that’s just off, chronic fatigue, hormonal shifts, that sort of thing. And I get it—most of them have already tried everything by the time they reach me. That’s kinda where Ayurveda fits in. It doesn't just treat the disease, it tries to see the person, which sounds dramatic maybe, but it’s true. In these 2 years I’ve focused heavily on chronic lifestyle disorders—diabetes, hypertension, hormonal issues—and the overlap they all seem to have with stress, bad sleep, food habits gone sideways. My treatment approach leans into that: a mix of classical Ayurvedic diagnosis, structured diet/lifestyle guidance, and if needed, Panchakarma therapies. Not the one-size-fits-all type stuff, more like, okay, what exactly is going wrong in this person's system and how do we reset it without overwhelming them. I spend a lot of time on patient counseling too. Because like, telling someone “reduce stress” or “avoid sugar” means nothing if you don’t explain how to do it in their actual life. Most people aren’t lazy, they’re just exhausted or confused or overloaded with info that doesn’t match their body type or daily routine. I try to simplify things, not just in words, but in steps they can actually follow—whether it’s managing meals during work hours or getting better sleep without depending on meds. I also help with preventive care—like couples planning pregnancy, or young adults seeing early signs of imbalance. Sometimes we don’t even need herbs—just realignment. But when we do use medicines or therapies, I always explain what and why. Transparency builds trust. And trust heals faster than anything I could write in a prescription. It's not perfect, and sometimes I second guess if I did enough, said enough... but when a patient smiles after weeks of frustration, I know I’m on the right track.

I am an Ayurvedic Gynaecologist working mostly with women who’ve been struggling silently with their cycles, hormonal issues or other chronic things that they feel just aren’t getting solved with regular meds. I focus on using classical Ayurvedic medicine — not some generic formula, but stuff that’s really matched to their dosha, lifestyle, history etc. Honestly, many of them come to me after trying everything else n still not feeling right... and I totally get that frustration. My main area is managing gynaecological problems like PCOS, irregular periods, heavy bleeding, painful cycles, white discharge, infertility, and even menopause-related discomfort — all through an Ayurvedic lens. I don’t just treat the symptom n send them off... I look at the root cause. Sometimes it’s digestion, sometimes stress, sometimes a history of long medication use — every case is different. I use a mix of Shamana Aushadhi (internal palliative meds), rasayana support, and if needed, Panchakarma therapies (like uttar basti for chronic cases). Lot of people don’t realise how deep Ayurveda can go in women’s health. It’s not just oil massage n detox — it’s a full system that can restore balance when applied right. I work closely with each patient — listen fully, go through their history, explain what’s going on, then offer a practical plan that’s doable even if they’re busy or tired or scared things won’t change. I'm here for women who feel dismissed or unheard... whether it's teenage hormonal acne, repeated UTIs, or things like ovarian cysts or thin endometrium. If your cycle or your system feel "off" but no one's really connecting the dots — that’s where Ayurveda really shines. And I’m happy to help bridge that gap.

I am Dr. V. Yamini Sowbhagya, currently working as Assistant Professor at Dr. BRKR Govt Ayurvedic Medical College, Hyderabad—been here for 4 years now, and honestly, still learning every single day. I did both my UG and MS here itself, specialized in Streeroga & Prasuti Tantra (Ayurvedic Gyn & Obs), which kinda gave me this strong base and local connect too... everything I know grew from this place, in a way. I’m super into the preventive side of Ayurveda — like, not just fixing what’s wrong, but stopping it before it starts. I really try to create awareness wherever I can, sometimes even just in daily OP conversations. I genuinely believe half the gynaecological issues we see can be avoided if we just paid attention to simple dinacharya or food patterns or even sleep cycle. But ya, easier said than done — people come in when things go too far. I was selected as a Fellow at the Foundation for Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship (CfHE) at IITH, Kandi, Sanga Reddy... which kinda pushed me into research + innovation mode. I got to see healthcare from another angle entirely — not just as a doctor but as a thinker. That time challenged me in diff ways, not all comfortable, but really useful. Academically, I love teaching. Like, genuinely. Theory, clinics, discussion — I try to make it real and not just memory games. Students need space to ask stupid questions, and I'm okay with saying "I don’t know" sometimes n checking later. Apart from that, I keep my hands in research stuff too — been involved in quite a few platforms, from college-level to inter-institutional. And ya, I did recieve a bunch of awards n cash prizes over the years, at both state n national level... it’s nice, though I don’t chase them. What matters more is if someone somewhere feels like they got heard or healed. That’s the bit I try not to lose in all this system madness.

I am in Ayurveda field from around 7 yrs now, feels like both long & quick—strange mix honestly. Started out not knowing where exactly I’d land but over time, my interest slowly centered around women's health…like menstrual irregularities, infertility, postpartum care n all that. I studied my BAMS & MS in Stri Roga-Prasuti Tantra from Dr BRKR Govt Ayurvedic Medical College, Hyd. Working there now actually, as Asst Professor...been there past 4 years, doing a mix of teaching, clinical consults, and mentoring juniors. Ayurveda gives this huge scope for preventive care, and I kinda feel drawn to that more and more—helping women *before* things go wrong instead of just managing symptoms later. I keep looking for ways to blend classical concepts with real-time needs. Did work on Garbhasamskara protocols, Uttaravasti, and non-invasive methods for ovarian cysts, PCOS and similar issues. Also like working with postpartum moms…sometimes it’s less about treatment and more just helping them heal proper and feel seen. I was selected for CfHE fellowship at IITH Kandi, which was a weird shift from clinical to entrepreneurship, but that opened up my way of thinking like how to build systems for healthcare—not just individual solutions. Oh and I’ve presented quite a few papers in national seminars, plus wrote health articles for some newspapers too (can’t even remember the titles now ). Won some medals during UG…Gold in Dravya Guna, Silver in Salakya, and a couple of awards for writing or reciting shlokas during events. Honestly not everything feels impressive when you live it, but over years all these bits kinda add up. I don’t try to fix people, I mostly try to understand where things started going off. And if that means slow-paced treatment or tweaking dinacharya over strong meds, then I stick to that. Ayurvisharada title from Himalaya Pharmacy was one of those moments that reminded me why I chose this path... not for name but for meaning.

I am currently working as a govt doctor in the public health system, which kinda gives me this daily reality check. Like, every single OPD is unpredictable. Some days you see 20 patients with cold & gas trouble, other days it's full-blown chronic cases, post-op follow-ups, or emotional outbursts from long-suffering families. You don’t get to choose who walks in—you just have to *show up* and be present. That's something I learned fast. Besides the regular govt duties, I also do independent OP consultations. It started small—mostly neighbors and friends’ referrals, then word just kept spreading. I think what made ppl come back wasn’t fancy setups or fast results, it was how much time I took to *listen*. Whether someone had fistula pain that kept coming back or was stuck in a cycle of stress & digestion issues, I tried building plans they could actually stick with. Clean diagnosis, no false hopes, straight plan. Sometimes it’s Panchakarma, sometimes it’s just minor herbs, or even asking them to sleep better or stop eating late night oily stuff. Handling both—public sector chaos & private patient load—doesn’t leave me with free evenings, but I feel like both teach me different things. In the hospital, I get to see the scale of issues across socioeconomic backgrounds, while private OPD lets me dive deeper into individual cases, where there’s more space to track progress weekly. I don’t think either is more valuable—they just complete each other. I'm still figuring out the balance tbh, but it’s clear to me now that wherever I work, the core idea doesn’t change—*listen better, explain clearly, treat responsibly*. Whether it's ano-rectal, metabolic disorders, skin stuff or postnatal recovery, I focus on root-level care—not patching things up temporarily.

I am 13 years deep in this line of work, which honestly feels weird to type like that, but yeah—more than a decade trying to figure out why ppl aren’t healing the way they should and how to actually *help* without complicating things more than needed. I'm an Ayurvedic physician, mostly working through clinical OPD (and some govt side too), where I see a wide mix of cases—digestive stuff, joint flare-ups, skin conditions that don’t go away no matter what cream gets tried, even just plain tiredness ppl can’t explain. I don’t usually rush into treatment straight off. I try to listen, ask things others maybe didn’t think mattered (sleep timing, food patterns, past meds.. that kind of thing). One thing I've def learned over these yrs—no two ppl respond same, even with same diagnosis, like zero predictability sometimes. Makes you stay alert, stay curious. Ayurveda’s not about throwing ghee and herbs at a problem randomly. It’s about matching *rhythm* of the body, and that part takes real patience. I'm not into shortcuts. Like if someone wants a 2-day cure for a 4-year problem, I tell 'em this probably not the place for that. But if they stick with me, even just a bit longer than they're used to—usually we get somewhere meaningful. Might not be flashy, but it works. Also I keep rechecking my own approach, like did I miss something?? Should I’ve tweaked diet first instead of meds? I don’t mind backtracking when needed. Feels honest. Anyway, still learning every day. Still mess up phrasing sometimes or forget to explain why I skip a med. Patients remind me with their expressions lol. But I keep showing up, keep treating, keep paying attention—and honestly, that’s what makes me feel like I’m on the right track here.

I am running my own clinic from the last 10 years—just me, some herbs, and a lot of trial n trust tbh. Most of my work’s focused around liver problems and gastro issues, things like fatty liver, acidity, IBS, sluggish digestion, and stuff that doesn't always show up clearly in tests but ppl know somethin’s not right. And yeah, over these years, I’ve treated more than 6000+ patients using classical Ayurvedic herbs, no shortcuts or flashy mixes, just deep-rooted formulations from texts that still work—if you use them right. There’s no one-pattern-fits-all approach here. Someone may walk in with gas but turns out it’s related to chronic stress or maybe early liver congestion. I always try to listen more than talk (ok not always but I try), bcz half the clues come from small things ppl don’t even think matter. And I do ask a lot about appetite, tongue coating, sleep, even weird food cravings—these all paint the picture. Some days it's smooth, other days I'm stuck re-thinking a herb combo that didn’t hit right—happens. But I learn, tweak, ask again, keep it human. Clinic’s not a big fancy place, but it’s steady. Some pts came in years ago with recurring bloating or liver numbers off the chart n now they just come once in a while, for check-in or refills. That makes me kinda feel like maybe I'm doing somethin right, even if I still keep wondering if there's more to improve. But yeah, this field, this way of working—Ayurveda for gut n liver healing—it’s what I stick to. And trust it deeply.

I am mainly into women’s health care, especially Gynoveda side of things—PCOS, PCOD, infertility, all that hormonal mess that messes up daily life like crazy. I’ve worked with a lot of women who come in with irregular cycles, cystic ovaries, mood swings they can’t explain, or just this deep fatigue that nobody else gets. Some trying to conceive for years, some just tired of pills that keep shifting their symptoms around. I don’t rush herbs—I first listen, like really listen—what’s been tried, what worked a bit n what didn’t at all. Ayurveda helps when it’s matched right, that’s what I learned early on. I use personalized protocols based on dosha type, digestion pattern (sometimes even if you think it’s fine, gut signs say otherwise), and lifestyle pressure. I keep checking back, bcoz cycles shift, stress builds, sometimes we need to pivot treatment fast. I also work with arthritis and chronic pain cases, esp. in women where it overlaps with hormonal stuff or stress patterns. Joint pain isn’t always a bone issue, lot of time it’s deeper—gut toxins, sleep, emotions stuck in the body. I try to handle those too, mostly with tailored oil therapies, herb combos, diet that doesn’t shock your system but still clears ama buildup. Stress management is part of all this, I can't seperate it anymore. Half the pcos flare-ups or cycle delays I see—root cause is mental load, not just physical imbalance. So yeah, I also guide through lifestyle cleanup, routines, simple dinacharya steps, sometimes even tiny breathing work that fits their pace—not the overcomplicated stuff. Not claiming magic, but many who came to me after trying evrything said this made them feel heard... and better. That's what I aim for.

I am a practitioner of Ayurvedic medicine who really tries to bridge that old deep-rooted Ayurvedic way of healing with what people need now, like in real modern-day health setups. I don’t just quote shloks or hand over churnas and expect magic. I take time to understand how this person lives, what their body’s asking, and how the imbalance began—sometimes it’s diet, sometimes stress, or hormones off-track... it’s rarely just one thing. And yeah, I work a lot with both acute flare-ups and long-term chronic issues that don’t go away easy—stuff like acidity that’s stuck for years, joint pain that moves around, irregular periods, skin issues that keep coming back no matter how many creams or tabs they used before. I don’t do one-size-fits-all treatments. Everything is customized—sometimes just changing the time they eat can shift things more than any expensive medicine. I focus a lot on prevention too. Like if you’re always low energy or get frequent colds or sleep is broken—I try to fix those before they become full-on disease. A lot of my treatment style also includes daily rhythm fixing, mild detoxes when needed, and a mix of internal and external therapies. No fake promises, I tell patients upfront how slow or fast something may work. But I do stay in it with them, follow up, adjust things when needed—Ayurveda’s flexible if you know how to use it right. Also I keep learning, rechecking what I know, becuz health keeps changing and you gotta evolve with your patients too. This whole path is not just treatment, it’s a way to help people reconnect with thier own health sense again. That’s kinda why I love it.

I am deeply drawn towards women’s health because I see how often it gets pushed aside or treated only at surface level. In my practice I try to bring Ayurveda and modern gynecology together, not in competition but as two parts of same goal—better health for women across every stage of life. My main focus areas are menstrual disorders like PCOS, PCOD, painful or irregular cycles, heavy bleeding or amenorrhea. I also work closely with infertility cases, supporting ovulation regulation, improving uterine health, and guiding couples through natural Ayurvedic infertility management. Pregnancy care is another big part of what I do. Through *Garbhini Paricharya* (antenatal routines) and *Garbhasanskar*, I support both mother and fetus with safe herbs, diet corrections and lifestyle guidance. I also spend time with postnatal mothers, where *Sutika Paricharya* helps in faster recovery and better lactation. Later in life, menopause and hormonal shifts need careful handling too—bone strength, mood changes, hot flashes—all areas where Ayurveda gives gentle yet effective care. Procedures are also part of my work, like *Uttar Basti* for infertility and uterine disorders, *Yoni Pichu* and *Yoni Dhawan* for local issues like dryness, infection or irritation. I combine these with classical Panchakarma therapies like Virechana and Vamana when needed, to restore hormonal balance and cleanse the system. For me it’s not only about giving a therapy but also helping women understand what is happening in their bodies and how small changes in diet, stress handling, or sleep can change everything. Counseling plays a big role—because many health issues are tied with lifestyle and emotions. End of day, my specialization is holistic women’s healthcare—preventive, promotive and curative. Whether it’s fertility, pregnancy, or menopause, I want to create space where women feel safe, informed and empowered. Authentic Ayurveda, modern insight, and patient-centered care—that’s the mix I stand for, even if the path is not always simple or stright.
