Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 76

I am Dr. Raj Kalariya, an Ayurvedic Doctor who believes real healing doesn’t come from quick fixes but from understanding how the body, mind & nature actually work together. I studied Ayurveda deeply — not just the texts but the meaning behind them — and over time I’ve come to see how ancient principles can still guide modern health care in powerful ways. Sometimes I mix a bit of modern medical insight too, because honestly, balance is what matters most. My focus is on helping people restore health naturally — through personalized Ayurvedic treatment, herbal formulations, diet correction, and daily lifestyle routines (Dinacharya) that actually fit into real life, not some ideal version of it. I look at root causes, not just the outward simptoms, because each person’s constitution (Prakriti) is unique. And that’s the thing I love most about Ayurveda — no two people are the same, even with the same illness. Sometimes patients come to me after trying many things, and I always remind them healing can be slow, it needs patience. Ayurveda isn’t about suppressing; it’s about aligning. I use classical diagnostic methods like Nadi Pariksha and detailed case observation to understand what’s going on beneath the surface. Then I design a plan that blends herbs, diet, detoxification (Panchakarma if needed), and daily mindfulness — a full, wholistic path toward better health. I’ve worked with cases ranging from chronic digestive problems and stress-related disorders to preventive care for immunity and vitality. I believe prevention is the real medicine — if you know how to live right according to your Dosha, half the diseases never start. Sometimes it feels like people forgot how natural healing can be, and that’s what I try to bring back, a bit at a time. If you’re looking for a natural, thoughtful, and honest approach to health — not just a prescription — then that’s what I try to offer everyday. (Sorry, maybe I wrote too long here!) But yes, Ayurveda isn’t just my work, it’s my way of seeing life, even when things don’t go perfectlly.

I am a doctor with M.D in Kayachikitsa, which is basically the branch of Ayurveda dealing with internal medicine and long-term management of systemic diseases. Right now I am working as an Assistant Professor, been in this role for about a year, trying to balance both teaching the students and also doing clinical practice. Some days it feels hectic, but honestly I find it rewarding because I get to share knowledge while also helping patients in a direct way. During my studies I really dived deep into the Ayurvedic Samhitas, the classics that form the root of our science, but at the same time I always felt the need to connect them with modern diagnostic ideas. Maybe that comes from the fact that patients today don’t just want treatment, they want clear explanations too. I usually focus a lot on Prakriti and Vikriti analysis, because without understanding the constitution and imbalance, no treatment really fits. My work often involves using Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, diet correction and lifestyle guidance, sometimes small tweaks in daily routine can make a bigger difference than heavy medication. In my academic role, I like mentoring students, not just about theory but also about how to evaluate patients properly and how to link pathology with treatment. Sometimes I catch myself emphasizing too much on basics, but I believe without that the foundation gets weak. I also keep reading new research, even if not everything aligns with Ayurveda directly, it helps to keep an open perspective. In clinical practice I tend to see a mix of cases — metabolic issues like diabetes, autoimmune disorders that require patience and structured care, and also psychosomatic conditions where stress plays a major role. What I aim for is not just reducing symptoms but bringing back a sense of balance, something Ayurveda always highlighted. I think my dual role actually keeps me sharp — the classroom discussions push me to stay precise, while real patient care forces me to stay practical. And yes, sometimes it feels like I am caught between too much theory and too much practice, but that’s also the beauty of working in this field.

I am mostly grounded in classical Ayurveda—like the kind you find in the actual samhitas, not just modern diet trends floating around. I’ve always been drawn to how simple herbs and well-timed routines can shift someone’s health if done right. Honestly, I look at symptoms, yeah, but I’m more interested in *why* they’re showing up in the first place. That means listening closely, sometimes asking stuff patients don’t expect—sleep timings, what they eat when bored, how their mood’s been around meals—things that tell me way more than just dosha quiz type stuff. My work mostly focuses on matching treatment to *prakriti*, not just diagnosis. I try to make medicine that’s easy for ppl to access & stick to—not everyone’s up for long churnas n kashayams all the time. That said, I still follow core Ayurvedic logic—like how agni behaves, how dhatus respond, and what ahar they're missing (or overdoing). I also tweak diet plans to match the illness *and* their day-to-day lifestyle. What’s the point of a great protocol if they can’t actually follow it? I’ve been particularly into gut health—digestion problems, IBS-type patterns, acidity, bloating—those chronic things ppl think they have to live with. I also see skin flare-ups, hormonal issues (especially in young women), and stress-linked conditions, which are like, everywhere now. I use herbs, diet, and home-based hacks too, but only when they fit. I won’t just suggest something for the sake of it. Ritucharya comes up a lot too—I try getting ppl to align their habits seasonally, though ya sometimes they forget. I just remind them again next visit! Mental health gets looped in, even if someone walks in for skin—because most of these are connected anyway. End of the day I’m just tryna offer care that’s grounded, real, and doesn't confuse patients more than they already are. If they leave with clarity, some hope, and a plan they actually *get*, then I feel like the consult worked.

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 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 an Ayurvedic doctor who’s kind of always drawn to the way small shifts can change everything. Not just in health but how we live, eat, sleep, even think. My main focus is helping people figure out what works for their body — like really works — by using Ayurveda’s core stuff: Prakriti, ahara, vihara, and aushadha. I mean, we all talk about balance, right? But balance means different thing to different people and that’s what makes it tricky and fascinating at the same time. I work mostly around diet and lifestyle, rooted in what’s laid down in texts like Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya. But honestly, I don’t see Ayurveda as just some ancient thing to quote—it’s alive, practical, and super adaptable. Whether someone’s dealing with bloating, skin flares, stress that just won’t shut off, or low immunity that keeps hitting again and again... I try to map that to their prakriti and what’s thrown them off-course. From there, we fix it — usually with herbs, food adjustments, and daily tweaks. Not drastic stuff, more like tuning your day to your body’s rhythm. I do detailed consults, like not the 5-min fast fix thing. I spend time listening, making notes, digging into patterns. It helps me give advice that actually sticks, not just sounds good. There’s no one-size-fits-all here—like two people with acidity might need completely different solutions. That’s where Ayurveda shines. One of my biggest goals is just making people feel in control of their own health again. I try to give them enough knowledge, confidence, and support so they don’t feel lost when something feels off. I think once someone gets that their headache or low energy isn’t random, that it links to sleep or digestion or even seasonal stuff—they start healing already. I love when that shift happens. Ayurveda isn’t just what I practice—it’s how I live. If someone’s looking to sync their diet and life with their body’s actual needs, I’m always up for that kind of work. It’s slow, sure. But also really powerful.

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 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 passionate about Ayurveda in a way that sometimes hard to even put in words, for me it’s not just medicine it’s a life path. I practice with a strong foundation in traditional ayurvedic texts, yet I try not to remain stuck only in the past, I keep learning new approaches and how to align them with modern needs, even tech updates that make patient care more effective. In my daily practice I focus on holistic healthcare, meaning I don’t just look at the symptom a person brings but at the whole pattern, the dosha imbalance, diet habits, stress triggers, lifestyle gaps. This approach has helped me work with wide range of cases, from skin and digestive problems to chronic pain and women’s health issues. Sometimes patients come expecting a quick cure but I explain that Ayurveda is about deep rooted healing, it might take time but it works on the base cause not just cover it. I make herbal formulations, plan dietary routines, recommend panchakarma or simple daily rituals depending on the condition and also the person’s prakriti. I believe trust is very important, that’s why I try to really listen before suggesting anything. My goal is to be a partner in someone’s wellness journey, not just a doctor writing prescriptions. There are days it feels tough when recovery is slow or patient get restless, but seeing gradual positive change makes it worth the effort. What keeps me going is the blend of ancient knowledge with modern practice, where an age old remedy can be delivered with more precision today. Ayurveda is vast and I feel I am still learning, but every patient I treat gives me new experience, new insight. That constant growth is what makes this work meaningful and keeps my dedication alive.
