Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 78

I am an Ayurvedic consultant with a little over two years of focused clinical work, spending most of that time listening to patients, figuring out what’s actually going on under the surface, and then shaping treatments that aren’t just for the next few weeks but for the long haul. My practice sticks to classical Ayurvedic principles, but I also keep in mind how people live now—work stress, irregular meals, late nights—because ignoring that is just asking for the problem to return. I’ve worked in both OP and IP setups, which means I’ve seen the full range, from quick consults to long-term inpatient care where every detail of the protocol matters. I work a lot with chronic and lifestyle-linked conditions—OA, RA, diabetes, gastric disorders, gynaecological problems, skin issues, pain cases, and ano-rectal concerns like fissures and piles. Each patient gets a plan that’s their own, using herbal medicines, Panchakarma procedures, diet shifts, and lifestyle changes that they can actually manage. Sometimes that’s the hardest part—making it realistic enough so they’ll follow through. For me, patient care isn’t just about treating a list of symptoms, it’s about trust. I like to give time in consultations, because that’s often when the small but important details come out. Chronic illness, acute flare-ups—it doesn’t matter, my goal is to guide them through each step, so they feel supported and informed. I rely on a careful approach to diagnosis—nadi, tongue, history, lifestyle—and match that with a plan rooted in both classical texts and practical, modern sensibility. Every treatment I give is built to fit the person’s constitution, condition, and goals, which is how I make sure it’s not only effective but sustainable. For me, Ayurveda works best when it’s personal, precise, and lived every day, not just taken as medicine for a short while.

I am Dr. Vijayalakshmi, currently doing my MD in Panchakarma — which honestly feels like diving deep into the real core of Ayurveda. Not just the detox label everyone throws around, but the *actual* science behind why the body needs to let go, reset, rebuild. I’ve been working hands-on with therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya etc., and trust me, no two patients ever react the same. That’s what keeps it both challenging and kinda addictive in a good way. Panchakarma isn’t just therapy to me, it’s a full system that works *only* when you pay attention to the small things — like the patient's prakriti, their stress load, their sleeping hours, even what time they get hungry (or don’t). I usually plan every treatment detail carefully — but also adapt it if the patient’s agni doesn’t cooperate or their lifestyle’s full of last-minute chaos. Ayurveda doesn’t work like a machine, it works like nature — and nature’s rarely linear. I do a lot of patient education too, ‘cause tbh if the person doesn’t understand *why* they’re doing snehapana or following a certain pathya, they either resist it or just half-do it. That’s where my teaching side comes in — whether it’s patients or juniors, I like breaking it down in a way that actually sticks. Reading the classics keeps me grounded (and confused sometimes ngl), but I also explore new research, clinical updates, and those interesting case discussions you catch at odd hours between duties. The mix of old n new helps me build care plans that feel rooted but flexible — something I try to carry into every case I handle, whether it’s a chronic skin condition, stubborn gut issue, seasonal detox or just rasayana planning for general wellbeing. For me, good Panchakarma is about clarity and connection — between physician, patient, and the process. I try to keep it real, not rigid. Just deep, clean healing that makes sense for *that* person, in *that* moment. Nothing forced, nothing rushed. Just the body doing what it actually knows how to do — if we just let it.

I am an Ayurvedic physician who kinda found her groove by actually being in the thick of clinical setups, not just reading about them. My journey started out as a Resident Doctor at Ayurved Rugnalay and then at Sterling Multi-Speciality Hospital in Nigdi, Pune—where honestly I learned a lot by working alongside allopaths and blending modern diagnosis with classical Ayurvedic stuff. It wasn’t always easy, but that mix really helped me trust my clinical instincts more. Later I took up the role of Clinic Head at Ashwin Ayurveda Clinic & Panchakarma Centre in Walhekarwadi, which really opened up my hands-on exposure to Panchakarma—Basti, Virechana, the whole works. That was where I spent real time customizing detox protocols, understanding how doshas go outta balance in daily life and tweaking herbs, diet & therapies accordingly. That job made me realise how much chronic conditions, especially joint pains, skin issues, or hormonal stuff like PCOS—need time, not quick fixes. After that, I joined NAH in Akurdi as a Medical Officer. That was more structured—appointments, system flow, the admin load too. But I also got to see different patient types and sharpen up my diagnosis game. Then came my stint at Viveka Hospital, Nagpur. That OPD was super busy!! but it taught me speed + clarity, like not just what’s wrong but how to explain it to someone who’s confused or scared or in pain. Right now, I’m really into managing lifestyle disorders—like diabetes, thyroid, IBS, obesity—and emotional patterns that show up in the gut or periods or even the skin. I use Panchakarma if needed, but sometimes it’s just helping someone rewire their sleep-food habits or giving a herb that calms down vata or reduces inflammation. What I believe? Ayurveda’s not some rigid system. It moves with the person. That’s why I keep studying, reflecting on each case, and trying to go one level deeper, always. If there’s one thing I’m sure of—it’s that healing needs patience, trust and, sometimes, a lil unlearning from both sides.

I am someone who really believes that the body can heal itself—if we just give it the right support at the right time. At Kaya Bandhu Ayurvedic Clinic, I try to follow that thought in every case I handle. I work mostly with classical Ayurvedic tools, not just for treatments but for actual diagnosis too—like Nadi Pariksha, Prakriti checks, and Rogi-Roga Pariksha... that kind of deep-rooted stuff that shows what’s really going on inside. Not just the symptoms, but where they’re coming from. I focus a lot on lifestyle conditions—things like high BP, diabetes, insomnia, skin flares, gut issues, arthritis, thyroid troubles or even post-covid fatigue. I’ve seen that if you don’t look at the root doshic imbalance, those things just keep bouncing back. I usually go with a mix of Panchakarma (which really clears things at a deep level), Rasayana therapies for long-term tissue support, and individualised herbs and ahara-vihara tweaks that match the patient’s own prakriti—not just generic solutions. I’ve had patients who came in with hormonal imbalances like PCOS or menopause shifts and they’d already tried so many things. But when we started aligning their food, daily rhythm, internal meds, their energy actually changed. Sometimes it’s small changes like how or when they eat, sometimes we go full detox and reset—it depends. I don’t think everyone needs the same path. I also spend time explaining things to patients—not just telling them do’s and don’ts but why certain herbs or timings matter. I think that matters a lot, especially now when people are trying to make better health choices but are just overwhelmed. My vision with Kaya Bandhu is honestly simple—keep it authentic, make it patient-first, and always stay grounded in Ayurvedic wisdom even if we are living in a crazy fast-paced world. Every patient is different, their healing pace is different too. I just try to meet them where they are and walk that path with them, one step at a time... nothing fancy, just real, ethical Ayurvedic care that makes sense and actually helps.

I am an MD in Kayachikitsa from KLE University and have been board-certified in Ayurveda since 2016. Over these past 7+ years, I’ve kinda stayed in the middle of three things—clinical practice, teaching, and a bit of research work too. What keeps me going is honestly the process of bringing classical Ayurvedic wisdom into today’s health mess—with proper logic, not just repeating old lines. I don’t believe Ayurveda should stay stuck. It’s deep, yes, but it’s also meant to evolve... if we’re listening right. Most of my experience centers around managing chronic diseases & metabolic conditions—stuff like diabetes, BP, IBS, thyroid, autoimmune issues, fatigue syndromes, stress-looped imbalances... that category where ppl usually say “nothing really helps long-term”. I look for the root cause in each case, coz symptom-chasing only drags things out. Diagnosis for me isn’t just about test reports. I do full-body readings—Dosha mapping, digestion tracking, sleep patterns, mental rhythm, disease history, and the Prakriti-Vikriti overlay. That’s where my protocols start. In treatment I use herbal formulations, Rasayana, dietary restructures, Panchakarma therapies when needed—but never randomly. Every case gets layered planning. I always try keeping it doable. There’s no point giving a gold plan if the patient can’t apply it at home, right? During my academic side, I’ve contributed in research protocol designing, and been involved in patient education work, mainly to help ppl understand Ayurveda instead of just following instructions. That’s something I’m big on—patient awareness. I see health not just as cure, but as a process of getting people to feel in control of their body again.

I am practicing Ayurveda for more than 15 yrs now and still every single case, every patient feels new in its own way—specially when we dive deep into chronic disorders or dosha complexities. My focus’s always been on classical Panchakarma and authentic, root-level care. That’s what drew me into this line in the first place.. real healing not just quick fixes. I work with all the major Panchakarma therapies like Vaman, Virechan, Basti, Nasya & Shirodhara—and trust me each one has it’s own rhythm, it’s not a one-size thing. Over time I also got pretty hands-on with advanced procedures like Netra Tarpan (great for eye fatigue & dryness), Uttar Basti (often for urinary/genital tract issues), Agnikarma (for some really stubborn pain points) and Viddha Karma—yes, it sounds scary but it’s incredibly effective in certain conditions. My clinical work mostly revolves around stuff like digestive issues, joint pains, hormonal ups and downs, neurological conditions, skin problems and yeah long-term pain. What makes it work is really getting the diagnosis right—sometimes it’s not about what symptom shows up, but why it’s showing up where it does. I always look at prakriti, dosha imbalance, & subtle signs to shape the treatment… and a lot of times people are like oh! no one explained it this way bfore. I'm also big on guiding people beyond the clinic—what they eat, when they eat, how they wake up or sleep. Little daily routines really pile up over time for better or worse. That's why I spend time building long-term strategies through Ayurvedic diets, ritucharya, dincharya and lifestyle tweaks based on season, age or stress levels. In the end, I think healing has to feel human. That’s why even after all these years I still sit with each case fresh, without rushing. I’ve seen people bounce back after yrs of suffering and for me that makes all the effort.. worth it, totally.

I am working as a Junior Resident Doctor for 2 years in the Dept of Shalyatantra at JB Roy State Ayurvedic Medical College & Hospital – honestly, being in one of the top places for Ayurvedic surgical training changed the way I look at both surgery and Ayurveda itself. Those years taught me not just the theory but the actual day-to-day handling of surgical & para-surgical cases… especially Ksharasutra. Managing piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika) became like second nature after a while, though each patient still feel different – we used Ksharasutra, Bastis, plus Ayurvedic post-op care to cut down recurrences and help wounds heal faster. I also kept gravitating towards joint & bone related cases, arthritis, degenerative joints – probably cause I saw how much Panchakarma (Janu Basti, Patra Pinda Sweda) plus Rasayana herbs can change things if done right. Somewhere along the way, I also started taking more endocrine & metabolic cases… PCOD, obesity, even geriatric weakness – here too, finding the root cause first before throwing any medicine at it is my basic rule. For me, every treatment plan is personal – I go through the patient’s habits, diet, Prakriti, and then pick a path that feels sustainable for them. Sometimes that means more detox work, sometimes diet corrections, sometimes a mix. My whole focus is to keep things authentic Ayurveda but also practical for today’s lifestyle. I guess that’s why I like blending the old classical ways with modern diagnostic tools – it keeps me sure about the diagnosis and gives the patient more trust in the process.

I am currently working as a Junior Doctor at Dr. BRKR Government Ayurvedic Medical College and yeah—there's a lot going on everyday. My main role is kinda a mix of assisting in clinical care, doing rounds, handling patient case-sheets, and also sometimes jumping into teaching support stuff when needed. I get to shadow some really senior physicians, which honestly helps me see how theory from texts like Ashtanga Hridayam actually looks in real-life settings. A good part of my day is spent observing and helping with diagnosis—using classical methods like prakriti-vikriti pariksha, nadi, and dashavidha pariksha. I’ve worked closely on cases involving general medicine, lifestyle disorders, and chronic complaints that require more than just symptomatic relief. The best part? Watching how Ayurvedic logic unfolds during case-taking. Sometimes small details lead to huge insights—like a mild symptom pointing to deeper agni issues or dhatu dusti that's been ignored for long. I also assist with Panchakarma procedures almost daily, especially in Basti, Virechana, and Nasya therapies. There’s something kinda grounding about seeing how a proper snehapana schedule or just one good basti can shift how someone feels—not overnight, but gradually. That slow change really stays with you. On the preventive end, I keep trying to share basics with patients—like how messed-up dinacharya or totally skipped ritucharya can snowball into bigger disorders. I guide them through easy food changes or routines they can actually stick to. Not all are interested right away, but those who follow through—usually come back with improvements. That feedback means a lot honestly. Working in a teaching hospital has made me stay alert too—there’s always seminars, case discussions, or students throwing unexpected questions. I’m learning to balance textbook learning with real-time decision making. Still figuring stuff out of course, but I try to keep my approach practical, grounded, and aligned with what the patient really needs—not just what looks good on paper. Feels like I'm slowly building a rhythm—between diagnosis, therapy, education and patient care.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

I am Dr. Shaily Rathore and my whole thing with Ayurveda started from a really personal space where I felt modern life was like... too fast, too noisy, and kinda disconnecting us from ourselves. I mean, there's this crazy ancient wisdom just sitting there in texts like Charak Samhita n Sushrut Samhita—and honestly, every time I read through them, there's always something new I hadn’t noticed before. Those classics don't just talk about herbs n diseases, they talk about how your lifestyle, emotions, food, sleep, all of it connects. That idea of balance? Not just between doshas like Vata Pitta Kapha, but also in how we think, live, even how we breathe. I mainly work with people who wanna heal without jumping straight into heavy meds. Like ya, if your condition allows it, I’ll def choose dinacharya tweaks or basic food corrections before writing up a full medicine plan. I’ve seen in many cases, your body can bounce back when you just give it the right rhythm again. I pay close attntion to small patterns — like when ppl say they’re just tired “all the time” or can’t digest food even though reports look fine. These tiny clues matter. I also make Ayurvedic content online—in Hinglish, btw—'cause honestly I feel ppl listen more when you talk their language. Nothing too textbooky. It's more like “let’s chat about your gut issues over kadha,” y'know? There’s way too much info out there, but not all of it makes sense to the average person. I like keeping it real, simple, and actually do-able. Whether you’re lookin’ to figure out why your skin’s always reacting, or how to manage stress without burning out, or just curious how to live more sattvic—I’ll be there. I’m not the kind to rush into pills n powders. But I also won’t sit back if deeper intervention’s needed. Each person’s body tells a diff story, and honestly I just wanna help you read yours better.
