Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 75

I am someone who never really looked at health as just the body acting up—like, ok, you’ve got a rash or a stomach issue, but what’s really going on? That’s kinda the first thing I think when someone walks into my clinic. I don’t separate the headache from your sleep, or your bloating from your stress at work. Everything’s linked, and Ayurveda’s made that super clear to me right from the start. When I work with patients, whether they’re struggling with migraines, itchy skin, constipation, or even just “feeling off,” I don’t jump straight into treating symptoms. I pause, listen (really listen), and dig around a bit—how’s your appetite? bowel movments? how you’re sleeping? and what your routine looks like day to day. I’ve found over and over that even something simple like acid reflux might actually be tied to irregular eating, anxiety, or honestly even just staying up too late on screens. I love that Ayurveda gives me tools to treat people with them, not to them. Most times I’ll build a plan around their prakriti (body type), diet, sleep, mental state, daily rhythm—all that. My treatments usually involve a mix of classical herbal formulas, diet corrections, sometimes Panchakarma, and small but solid lifestyle shifts that actually stick. Not everything fancy. Just what fits. I guide people through habits, teach them to understand their own patterns, and yes, throw in a few homemade ghritams or churnas where it helps. For many, this ends up being their first real experience of actually feeling better, not just being told they're fine. I care about giving long-term relief but also that lightbulb moment of “oh this is what balance feels like.” That connection part—where someone feels heard and safe? That’s non-negotiable for me. I think true healing starts there. Whether you're dealing with chronic gut stuff, hormonal swings, skin flareups or just a sense that your system’s outta whack, I’m here to help piece it together gently, naturally, and thoroughly.

I am someone who’s practiced Ayurveda not just in Ayurvedic hospitals or clinics but actually inside allopathic setups too, which—honestly—gave me a way clearer view of how integrative medicine *can* work, if done mindfully. In those environments, my role was kinda fluid... giving Ayurvedic consults, suggesting classical medicines, but also working with real-time diagnostics, understanding charts, and adjusting treatment plans without clashing with the primary protocols. What stood out for me in those experiences wasn’t just the “mixing” of two systems, but learning how patients respond when both traditions are used thoughtfully. Like, post-op patients who were weak or slow to bounce back—rasayana therapy helped a lot more than I expected, actually. And in chronic things—arthritis flares, gut issues that didn’t really resolve, skin stuff that kept recurring—I focused a lot on why it's not healing, rather than just how to treat the rash or pain or whatever is visible. That part of Ayurveda... the root-cause thing... always made more sense to me. Also working in a mixed clinical space meant I had to explain things differently—not just Sanskrit words and theory, but like real practical "why this herb" kind of talk. That made me better at customizing and communicating what Ayurveda can *actually* do. Even now, I lean hard into classical texts, but I don’t ignore blood reports or diagnostic scans—actually they help a lot when you're trying to plan sustainable long-term care. Patients seem to like that. Not because it's fancy but because it makes sense to them. I'm always trying to keep the line open between tradition and practical healthcare reality. That’s the zone where I feel Ayurveda can really shine—less ritual, more relevance.

I am Dr. Kalpesh Wani and for the last 15 years I’ve been living and working in Pune with one thing always at the core – keeping Ayurveda and Panchakarma real, authentic, and honest. Not just following some modern shortcut or diluted version, but actually using the same classical principles that have guided healers for centuries. My clinic is my space for that – a fully equipped Panchakarma center where we do proper detox, rejuvenation, all the classical therapies the way they’re meant to be, but also making sure patients feel safe, comfortable and cared for during the process. Over the years I worked as an Ayurveda consultant in different hospitals, and that exposure to acute and chronic cases in such varied settings taught me a lot… like how to adapt without losing the essence of Ayurveda, how to talk with patients who might be more used to allopathy, how to fit genuine Ayurvedic care into an integrative healthcare setup without compromising. Those days shaped a lot of how I work now. When someone comes to me, the first step is always understanding the real cause – not just the symptom. I put time into proper diagnosis, planning a treatment that actually fits their body, their lifestyle, even their mindset. Sometimes it’s Panchakarma, sometimes herbal meds, sometimes simple but important changes in diet or routine. And yes, patient education is a big thing for me, because if they don’t understand why we’re doing something, they might not follow it. I believe Ayurveda isn’t just about treating disease – it’s about prevention, building strength, restoring balance, and yes, making life better overall. That’s what I keep in mind every single day, whether I’m doing a Basti therapy, explaining a treatment plan, or just listening to a patient’s story.. because those stories matter as much as the medicines.

I am someone who kinda walks between two paths in Ayurveda—one foot in clinics, one in classrooms. I started out my practice at Shanta Nursing Home, was there for six months. Short but really full of patient interaction n learning how actual ayurvedic treatments play out beyond theory. Then came Jeevan Jyoti Maternity Hospital—spent 2 years there diving deep into women’s health, maternity care, and gyne conditions where Ayurveda really has a lot to offer. A lot of cases weren’t textbook perfect, you learn to adapt, to listen, to re-evaluate herbs and panchakarma plans depending on the tiniest patient feedback... that part really stayed with me. I’ve also been in teaching for over 3 yrs now. First year was at NRI College of Ayurveda—there I was takin’ lectures, case-discussions, and somehow trying to keep classical texts alive in young brains that are half on social media 😅 Currently, I’m at SRK College of Ayurveda for 2.5 years. Still teaching. Still learning. Still balancing both sides of this world. It’s funny how teaching others actually sharpens your own clinical clarity—I noticed I became way more systematic with my diagnosis once I had to explain it to someone else. Now, in terms of clinical scope, I’m mostly into chronic and lifestyle-related issues. Whether its PCOD or long-standing gastritis or sleep troubles or even just low energy complaints—Ayurveda gives this flexibility to mold the line of treatment around the person not the disease name. That’s the part I enjoy most. A tailored therapy feels more alive, like it respects the patient’s full story, not just their symptoms. Maybe that’s what I really do—blending experience from both wardrooms and lecture halls to give something a bit more holistic, more humane. I still mess up spellings in prescriptions sometimes, I still need to revise slokas before teaching—but yeah, I love what I do, and I care a lot about making it matter, esp. for people who don’t always fit the usual pattern.

I am working as an Ayurved consuktant and Panchkarma practitioner from last 12 years n honestly this path still teaches me every day. I started with a clear focus on joint pain and spine related issues bcoz I saw how badly they affect someone’s daily life—but later my work slowly expanded into infertility, digestion problems, and ano-rectal conditions like piles and fissures. These are not just medical labels to me. Each case feels like a story that’s waiting to be heard properly before deciding anything. In joint diseases, I prefer a root-cause based approach. If a patient has frozen shoulder or chronic knee pain, I go beyond just local therapy and look into digestion, sleep, even past injuries they might have forgot. Same goes for infertility—Ayurved gives us a big lens to see where the imbalance began. I've worked with couples who were stressed, confused or just tired from multiple failed options. We worked through diet, panchkarma detox, timing, and even small habits like sleep-wake cycles. Panchkarma is a huge part of how I practise. Not for everyone of course, but when right and planned properly, it gives the body a complete reset. I’ve seen chronic gut issues improve when we clear ama and restart agni with the right steps. Piles n fissure cases I treat usually with conservative Ayurvedic meds n kshar sutra if needed—but I still spend time talking lifestyle habits bcoz if they stay same, results don’t hold. Even now, each week I get cases that push me to rethink my protocols. But that’s exactly why I stay close to classical texts and try to adapt those concepts to today’s stress-diet-posture-heavy lifestyle. It’s slow work sometimes, but when someone tells me they can walk again without pain or finally got pregnant after years—it just clicks why I’m here doing what I do.

I am a post graduate from the dept. of Kayachikitsa at Shrikalabyraweahwara Ayurveda Medical College in Bangalore... long name, I still mess it up sometimes 😅 Anyway, I've been working in the field for about 3 years now, mostly with chronic and lifestyle-related conditions. My clinical experience has focused a lot on musculoskeletal issues (back pain, neck stiffness, frozen shoulder kind of stuff), joint disorders like arthritis, and also a fair bit with digestive and gastrointestinal conditions—bloating, acid reflux, irregular appetite etc. Skin conditions too, like eczema, acne and random rashes people usually ignore until it gets worse. I've seen quite a few endocrine-related cases over the years too, especially thyroid imbalances and PCOS in young women. Honestly, PCOS is becoming way too common lately and it’s rarely just one thing, so I end up digging into the root causes—whether it's lifestyle, hormones, diet... usually all of it. I don’t just jump into medication. My approach usually involves understanding the patient’s daily routine first—when they eat, how much stress they carry, sleep patterns... all that. Ayurveda isn’t about symptom-fixing only, it's more like aligning the system back with how it’s meant to function. Sometimes even simple changes—timing of food or a mild herbal formulation—makes a huge differance. Patients often come to me after trying everything else first, not gonna lie, that can be frustrating but also kind of satisfying when they finally feel relief. Not every case goes perfect, sure, but when it works it really works. If you're dealing with chronic health stuff and nothing’s helping or you’re just tired of patchwork fixes, maybe it's time to look at the deeper layers. That's what I try to do everyday. Not rushing, not guessing—just trying to understand what’s *really* going on in the body.

As a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with over 3 years of clinical experience, I focus on treating chronic and complex health conditions through a classical yet patient-centered approach. My core areas of practice include the Ayurvedic management of cancer support care, infertility, digestive disorders, liver cirrhosis, and chronic pain. I emphasize treating the root cause of disease rather than just the symptoms, ensuring each treatment is tailored to the patient's constitution (Prakriti), lifestyle, and overall health goals. I rely on the deep principles of Ayurveda, including herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, Rasayana chikitsa (rejuvenation), dietary recommendations, and mind-body alignment to promote healing that is both natural and sustainable. My goal is not just to alleviate symptoms but to enhance overall quality of life, especially in chronic conditions where long-term management and patient confidence are essential. My passion for clinical research in Ayurveda drives me to explore new and innovative ways to improve outcomes for patients with chronic diseases. I continuously study classical texts and modern clinical findings to refine my treatment protocols. This research-oriented mindset enables me to bridge traditional knowledge with current health challenges, aiming to offer evidence-based holistic care that remains true to Ayurvedic wisdom. I firmly believe that every patient’s journey is unique. I work closely with each individual, offering compassionate guidance and a structured healing process that integrates physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Whether someone is navigating long-term health challenges or seeking preventive care through Ayurveda, I strive to empower them with knowledge, natural therapies, and continuous support throughout their healing journey.

I am an Ayurvedic surgeon mostly working in the field of anorectal disorders... piles, fissure, fistula, pilonidal sinus — yeah, all the painful, often ignored stuff people don’t talk about unless it gets too bad to sit or sleep or function properly. I've been in clinical practice for about 5 years now, and during this time, I’ve done more than 250 anorectal surgeries — all with classical Ayurvedic procedures like Ksharasutra and Ksharakarma. It’s a method that needs patience and precision, not flashy tools or fancy machines, just strong fundamentals and hands that know what they’re doing. My main focus has always been on making the whole process — from diagnosis to post-op — more human, less stressful. I’m not just cutting a fistula and walking off. I sit with the patient, try to figure where they’re struggling, like whether their pain started with constipation or their lifestyle is triggering flare-ups again n again. Sometimes even just their food habits mess things up more than they realize. I work with a mix of surgical intervention and day-to-day care — diet, sleep cycles, proper herbal supports. Honestly, I feel Ayurvedic surgery’s biggest power isn’t just removing the problem but preventing it from showing up again. That part gets ignored, but it’s actually what brings the real change. I keep myself grounded in the classics — I still go back to the texts — but also I keep looking at how new clinical updates or patient responses are shaping treatment. Each case teaches me something. Even with similar symptoms, every patient's recovery behaves a bit diffrent. I try not to generalize too fast, which I’ve learned the hard way once or twice. If you're tired of short-term patch ups or want an approach that treats the root cause not just the symptoms, I’d say—give Ayurvedic surgery a chance. You’ll still need to show up for your healing of course, but I’ll walk with you through it. That’s my part.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with hands-on clinical experience from two well-regarded institutions. I completed six months of practical training at Patanjali Ayurved Hospital, where I was actively involved in patient consultation, Ayurvedic diagnosis, and implementation of classical Panchakarma therapies. My time there helped me strengthen my understanding of traditional formulations, personalized diet and lifestyle guidance, and integrative approaches rooted in ancient Ayurvedic principles. Following that, I served for another six months at the Government Hospital in Bahadrabad, Haridwar. During this tenure, I worked in a fast-paced environment, managing a diverse range of cases under the supervision of senior medical officers. This role sharpened my diagnostic skills, improved my ability to handle acute and chronic conditions, and gave me a broader view of how Ayurvedic treatments can be effectively integrated into public healthcare systems. These experiences have allowed me to develop a balanced and holistic approach to patient care, combining classical Ayurvedic wisdom with practical clinical acumen. I place a strong emphasis on thorough patient history-taking, root-cause analysis, and long-term wellness planning. I am especially focused on building trust and communication with patients and continuously learning from both traditional texts and real-world practice. My clinical exposure has given me confidence in managing common ailments such as digestive issues, stress-related disorders, joint pain, skin conditions, and seasonal illnesses, while tailoring treatments to each patient's unique constitution (Prakriti). With a foundation built on authentic Ayurvedic principles and reinforced through practical experience, I am committed to offering genuine, compassionate, and effective care to every patient I meet.

I am currently working as the Chief Consulting Physician at Oushadhi, Angamaly—which honestly gives me a pretty unique space to practice real, grounded Ayurveda. Oushadhi being Kerala's state-run Ayurvedic medicine manufacturing unit, we see a wide, *really wide* range of patients… chronic cases, lifestyle disorders, people looking for detox, some just curious about what Ayurveda can do. My work mostly involves clinical consults, figuring out treatment blueprints, monitoring Panchakarma plans, & adapting classical formulations into actual day-to-day patient care. What I like is—nothing here feels theoretical. It's not about just giving a churnam or oil n moving on. Every case makes me step back & see the full picture—how they eat, sleep, what their work stress is like, even what season they're in. Ayurveda always says it, but it’s another thing to apply it every single time with fresh eyes. My clinical focus is quite broad, but I tend to work more on chronic pain, gut health stuff, skin issues (esp long-standing eczema, psoriasis), metabolic syndromes, stress & burnout. Infertility, too, keeps showing up—often as a background issue—and I don’t think people always realize how linked it is with digestion, liver function, even unresolved emotional stuff. I try to go beyond just the “symptom-treatment” pattern. I do a lot of seasonal detox protocols & Rasayana-based therapy plans, esp for patients who’ve been through multiple rounds of meds or who feel drained all the time… sometimes it’s not disease, it’s depletion. Working in a place like Oushadhi also lets me stay close to the formulations themselves. I actually *see* how things are made, which herbs are being sourced, what batches look like. It definitely sharpened my trust in classical combinations—but also made me more careful with dosing and timing, since every patient’s agni, dhatu strength etc is diff. To me, Ayurveda isn't just this alternative system—it’s more like a slow, deep re-alignment, and I try to guide patients through it with care, patience and real conversations.
