Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 78

I am about 1 year into my practice journey n honestly that feels both small n big at the same time. When I first started, I wasn’t sure how quickly I could adjust from academic space into real clinical care, but gradually with each patient I learnt something more. My main focus is on pain management—conditions like knee joint pain, sciatica, lumbar back ache, spondylitis, tennis elbow, golfer elbow, frozen shoulder, heel pain etc. I try to combine careful diagnosis with treatments rooted in Ayurveda yet explained in practical way so patients don’t feel lost. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes quick, but always there is learning in it. During this year I also kept my dedication toward research and evidence-based approach. I worked on presenting ideas and papers in academic forums whenever I got chance, and even managed to publish in journals that value Ayurveda in modern context. That gave me confidence that my small contributions can add to bigger discussions in medical field. In my postgraduate study I had finished Medicine with top score in my batch, which felt rewarding but also left me with responsibility to keep proving that I deserve that position. Honestly, academic achievements are good but real test is when someone walks in pain and goes back with relief, even if just partial at first. Sometimes patients expect instant cure, n that is where I try to keep balance—explaining how pain relief in conditions like frozen shoulder or spondylitis may take staged approach, while also keeping them hopeful. Ayurveda gives a framework but patient trust makes the treatment effective. One year is not a long time but it has been enough to show me the value of consistency, clarity and listening more than talking. My aim is not just treating pain but helping people understand their body better, manage lifestyle triggers, and feel supported in the journey of healing!!

I am currently pursuing my MD in Kaumarbhritya (Ayurvedic Pediatrics) as JR3, after completing BAMS from SCM Govt Ayurvedic Medical College, Satara — and honestly, the deeper I go into this field, the more I realise how nuanced pediatric care really is. It’s not just about giving sweet-tasting medicines and making the kid smile (tho that matters too)... it’s about understanding how their body reacts, grows, and heals so differently than adults. Every stage from newborn to teenage is like a separate chapter with its own doshic quirks and care needs. Over time, I’ve gotten solid clinical exposure — managing day-to-day illnesses like cough, fevers, skin rashess, but also bigger patterns like poor weight gain, digestion issues, behavioral changes that show up with no obvious reason, and sometimes chronic stuff like asthma or childhood eczema. I try to go beyond the surface — look at birth history, ahara-vihara, family environment, how much screen time... yeah even that plays a role now. My strength is sticking to the classical Ayurvedic tools — srotas analysis, prakriti-vikriti check, bal pariksha — while still being open to modern diagnosis when needed. Not everything shows up on nadi, right? Sometimes a blood test or scan clears up doubts. But once diagnosis is clear, I usually prefer simple, child-friendly interventions... herbal formulations, swaras, ghee preps, and basic lifestyle shifts the family can actually manage without going crazy.

I am an ayurvedic doctor who always wanted to see health in a more connected way, not just about treating one symptom but looking at whole person. In my journey I got the chance to liaise with healthcare professionals from different fields which really taught me how much patients benefit when there is seamless service provision, when no gap is left between one treatment and another. Working in such enviroments made me realise that coordination is just as important as consultation. Right now I practice holistic Panchkarma procedures under guidance of Padmashree Dr Praveen Joshi, and that exposure gave me deeper respect for classical Ayurveda. Under his mentorship I learned not just the techniques but also the discipline and patience required for real healing. Whether it is Vaman, Virechan or basti therapy, I focus on selecting the right approach by carefully understanding the patient’s prakriti and condition. Sometimes I wonder how modern fast life ignores the subtle signals body give, and Panchkarma helps to reset those imbalances gently but effectively. I work closely with people having chronic issues, where long term ayurvedic detox and lifestyle adjustment bring visible relief. But I also see many acute cases where right intervention at right time can prevent problems from becoming bigger. Patient care for me is more than just prescribing medicine, it is about building trust, guiding with diet, explaining pathya apathya, listening to their doubts even when they sound small. I believe Ayurveda is not just treatment, it is a conversation between doctor, patient and nature itself. Sometimes I make mistake in words or miss a detail when explaining, but in my practice I make sure I don’t miss the patient’s story, because that’s where diagnosis really begins. Everyday in this field feels like a reminder that health is both science and art, and I keep learning from both my teachers and my patients.

I am grateful for the time I worked at Patanjali Ayurvedic Hospital, it wasn’t just a job – it was where I really got my hands into real, traditional ayurveda, not the watered-down version you see in ads. The patient load there was huge, which meant I was constantly moving between consultations, checking nadi (pulse), figuring out prakriti-vikriti patterns, and planning panchakarma schedules that actually suited each person. Some days I’d be deep into detox protocols for arthritis, other days it was balancing stubborn digestive issues or calming stress-related imbalances. I saw how a simple tweak in diet or a shift in herbal formulation could totally change a case’s direction. And yes, you learn fast in that kind of high-pressure but deeply rooted environment. I worked on joint pains, chronic gastric problems, metabolic disorders, skin troubles, even complex lifestyle-induced health crashes. What really stayed with me is that no two patients ever needed the same formula – the blend of herbs, therapies, timing… all had to match the person’s body and mind state. That habit of customizing care, of balancing the classical texts with what the patient’s modern life demands, is something I still carry in my practice today. And honestly, watching people walk in with years of suffering and leave with real, measurable improvement, that’s the part that makes all the hours worth it, every time.

I am practicing for over 7 years now, and if there's one thing that stuck with me through all kinds of cases—routine fevers to long-standing chronic messes—it’s that people want *to be heard*, not just treated. My work is rooted in that. I don’t jump to conclusions or rely on standard checklists alone. I believe in diagnosis that’s clear, conversation that makes sense, and plans that actually work for the person sitting in front of me (not just on paper). Throughout these years, I’ve worked with all kinds of patients — kids, working professionals, elders, folks with busy lives or long histories of “no one really figured out what’s wrong.” And every time, I go back to the basics: listen, observe, investigate properly, explain in plain words. Because trust builds when people understand what’s happening to their own body — and why. My interest is in general medicine, chronic care, and preventive health. I really value patient education too. Not the boring kind — I try to actually *show* what’s going on and how we can change it. Whether it’s blood sugar creeping up, recurring headaches, or low-grade fatigue that’s always brushed off... we talk about it fully. No rushed exits. No silence gaps. Ethical care matters to me. I don’t recommend things just to fill prescriptions. If a change in food, sleep, or mindset is what’s needed first, I say that. I’m not here to impress—I’m here to help people feel more in control of their health again. I keep myself updated through clinical protocols, research summaries, and honest reflection after consults that didn’t go how I thought. That part’s real too. Learning never stops. My goal is simple but solid: to offer medical care that’s human, effective, and rooted in mutual respect. Whether you’re coming in with a fresh issue or something that’s followed you for years, I meet you there—and we work through it, together. One consult at a time.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with more than 7 years of clinical work, and my focus always stays on offering holistic and very individualized care that reflects classical ayurvedic science but also fits in daily life. My path started at Jiva Ayurveda, where I got to sit with patients for long detailed consultations, listening, sometimes debating inside myself about the best approach, and then planning treatments for things like diabetes, arthritis, skin problems, digestive troubles, even tricky hormonal imbalances. That early phase gave me lot of space to sharpen my diagnostic skills, especially in prakriti and vikriti assessment, where two people may show same disease but in reality need completely different line of care. Later on, I took up role as Chief Consultant at Santhigram Ayurveda Panchakarma Centre in New Delhi. There I wasn’t just treating, but also leading day-to-day clinic work and guiding a team in Panchakarma procedures. Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, Abhyanga, Shirodhara – each of these therapies I planned and supervised based on the patient’s full profile, not just symptoms. I managed cases of spine issues, joint pains, PCOD, infertility, stress-linked disorders, chronic gut problems, and many other lifestyle induced disease. I could see how structured Panchakarma when used in correct sequence brought not just temporary relief but long-term change in energy, digestion, even mental clarity. For me treatment is not only medicine or therapy, it’s teaching someone to understand why imbalance happen in the first place. I use classical herbal formulations, structured diet guidance, lifestyle corrections, and always stress on awareness and discipline. Sometimes it feels like I am as much a guide as a doctor, reminding patients that healing is a partnership. Now as I continue, my aim is to keep bridging ancient knowledge with modern health challenges. Whether someone comes with chronic pain, metabolic disorder, or just seeking preventive balance, I want them to feel heard, respected, and guided safely. Ayurveda for me is not a rigid set of texts, it’s a living science, and I try to bring that same living energy into every consultation.

I am Dr. Raj Kalariya, and my journey in Ayurveda has shaped a lot through real hands-on work with patients. I worked for one year as an Ayurvedic physician at Shree Varma Ayurvedic Hospital, where I got to handle a wide range of clinical cases, from chronic lifestyle disorders to general wellness therapies. That period taught me the value of precision in diagnosis and the importance of calm, patient listening — things textbooks never fully explain. After that, I continued another year at Ayuroushadham Ayurveda and Siddha Hospital. The environment there was quite different, more rooted in traditional Siddha practices too, which helped me understand deeper layers of holistic treatment. I worked closely with senior physicians, learning how Ayurveda and Siddha together can balance complex health issues — digestive, musculoskeletal, even some neurological cases. Day by day I realized how every patient responds differently. Some heal fast, others take time, and honestly sometimes it’s unpredictable. But that’s what keeps me curious and grounded. My approach now is a mix of classical Ayurvedic principle and practical application — herbs, diet, Panchkarma, lifestyle correction, and a lot of patient education too (because half the treatment starts when the patient understands their own body). Those two years in clinical practice gave me confidence to handle real challenges, not just theory. I still keep learning, questioning, refining my methods — Ayurveda isn’t static, it grows with experience. And I think that’s what I love most about this path, every day it teaches something new, even from the smallest case or simplest conversation with a patient.

I am working as a Consultant Physician for 5 years now and during this time I learnt that every patient bring a different challange, no two cases are ever really same. Running my own clinic gave me the chance to see the whole process close-up, from first consult till follow up, sometimes even years later when people come back just to say they feel better. That part matter a lot to me more than anything. My role as a physician is not just about writing prescription or suggesting treatments, it is about understanding lifestyle, stress patterns, diet habits and the underlying cause behind the symptoms. Many times patients come with long list of complaints.. but when I sit and listen carefully, I find the link between their physical and emotional health. That is where proper care start. Working independently in my clinic also taught me management skills, like how to keep patient flow smooth, when to refer a case to higher care and when simple treatment with monitoring is enough. Some days were very hard, like handling multiple critical cases at once or explaining to families when results dont come fast, but these are also the days that shaped me most as a doctor. Over these years I have handled cases across general medicine, with special focus on chronic illness and preventive care. I try to balance traditional approaches with practical treatment methods that patients can really follow. The clinic became more than just a workplace, it turned into a space where I build trust and long term relation with people. I may not get everything perfect every time, but I remain honest to my work and to the path I choosed.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with around 9 years of experiance in general ayurvedic medicine, still learning every single day honestly. My aim has always been simple — to serve people with care, empathy & a sense of real connection, not just prescribe herbs and move on. Ayurveda for me isn’t just treatment, it’s a way of living healthy, understanding the body’s balance and restoring it naturally... sometimes it takes time but that’s the beauty of it. Over these years, I’ve worked with all kinds of patients — from chronic lifestyle issues to everyday health imbalances — and what I’ve seen again n again is how powerful the classical Ayurvedic principles are when applied with patience and consistency. I focus on holistic healing, using personalized diet plans, herbal medicines, detoxification methods, and lifestyle guidance that fits into modern life (because not everyone can follow strict regimens right?). I believe compassion and clear communication are as important as any medicine. People come in worried, confused, and my job is to make them feel heard and guided, step by step. I always say — the treatment begins the moment you start trusting your body again. Sometimes I think about how Ayurveda is still misunderstood or underestimated, but that’s why I keep trying to make it accessible, relatable. If my small effort helps even one person rediscover health the natural way, that feels worth it.

I am a general Ayurvedic physician who just really believes in keeping it authentic...like real classical Ayurveda, not some watered down shortcut kinda stuff. My whole approach is basically centered around the person, not just the “disease” label. I look at why something’s happening. The root imbalance. Always. That’s where the answers usually are, even when they’re messy or hidden. I use the person’s Prakriti and Vikriti as a baseline—every plan I make starts there and builds from it. I handle all kinds of everyday things—like people coming in with diabetes, BP issues, weight gain, joint pain, skin breakouts, gas/acidity, menstrual probs or even just tiredness they can’t explain. And honestly? It all connects. I rely a lot on traditional tools like Nadi Pariksha, Rogi-Roga Pariksha (sounds fancy but it’s basically listening deeply to both body and story), and digging into lifestyle patterns that often get missed in fast consults. Sometimes it's in the small details like sleep, snacking, or emotional overload—Ayurveda actually covers all of that. I lean on herbal meds, classical formulas, and detox methods like Panchakarma (not just for diseases but even when someone feels off but can’t say why). I also use Rasayana therapies for chronic fatigue or just to rebuild. Food and dinacharya matter a lot to me—I mean, if your digestion and routine are chaotic, no meds will last long. And yes, Satvavajaya chikitsa too. Mental & emotional hygiene is half the game, especially today where stress kinda sneaks in and sits quiet. I keep learning, questioning, refining. Ayurveda isn’t static—there’s always more depth. My goal isn’t to make patients “dependent” on treatment but actually help them know their bodies better and feel in control of their health again. That’s what long-term wellness looks like to me—sustainable, individual, deeply rooted care that doesn't just mask symptoms but gives back quality of life.
