Area of specialization:
I am mostly deep into women’s health care, like real full-spectrum—from the Garbhasanskar prep before conception, to the messiness and joy of postnatal healing after baby’s born. My thing is holistic Ayurvedic care but not in that abstract way... like, I actually sit with women going through menstrual chaos, thyroid shifts, low energy crashes, and we work through it—sometimes slow, sometimes weirdly fast, but always together. I handle antenatal and maternal care a lot—designing Garbhasanskar-based routines, diet shifts, even mindset stuff. Pregnancy’s not just physical, honestly. There’s so much mental-spiritual realignment that nobody talks about... but it shows up in labor and recovery. That’s where I come in. Also, chronic lifestyle issues—those ones that don’t go away with just pills—things like high BP, sugar troubles, PCOD, and those autoimmune flares that confuse people. I use Ayurvedic diagnosis and therapies, sometimes Panchakarma if needed (I love snehan—abhyanga combo for some cases btw), and yeah, food as medicine is a big thing in my plans. I build preventive programs too. Like how to not fall sick again after treatment. Or how to recover without getting stuck in post-treatment fatigue loops—especially for working women. Everyone skips this phase, idk why?? Anyway. my work blends the heavy ancient stuff with things patients can actually do today. That’s the goal. Not magic. Just working systems that understand your body.
Achievements:
I am kind of proud (ok maybe a lot) that I graduated BAMS with distinction—76.09% from Patanjali Ayurved College. I was Co-PI in a randomized trial on BPGRIT for hypertension, which was intense but also grounding... real-world Ayurveda in motion, not just theory. I’ve published papers on breast cancer, diet-related risks, even Karkatshringi’s role in cancer. Been part of WHO-SEARO programs on NCDs & diabetic foot, also done GCP training. Oh and yeah, we made it to the World Book of Records reciting Sushruta!!

I am Dr. Tanishka Gupta and honestly sometimes I wonder how much of what I do is science, how much is tradition and how much is just listening right. I studied BAMS from Patanjali Bhartiya Ayurvigyan Evam Anusandhan Sansthan, Haridwar (yes, the name’s long... trust me, the days there were longer). Then I went on for PGTP in Garbhasanskar & Antenatal Care from National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur—because women’s health, especially before and after birth, deserves way more attention than it usually gets. I’ve worked in hospitals, OPDs, research setups—you name it—places like Patanjali Ayurved Chikitsalaya, Patanjali Research Foundation, and even the Sub-District Hospital in Roorkee. Whether it’s Panchakarma for detox or chronic lifestyle issues that just keep coming back (like diabetes, PCOS, stress or gut problems), I try not to jump straight into heavy treatment. First, I just listen. Sounds basic, right? But most people haven’t really been heard before they reach me. That alone changes things. I use a mixed approach: the deep-rooted Ayurvedic classics plus new-age, evidence-based tweaks when needed. Like, no shame in checking modern labs before finalising a treatment line. It’s not 500 BC anymore, and my goal is to get real results, not just chant jargon. I focus on prevention too—diet, sleep, seasonal routine, mental calm—all of that adds up. Garbhasanskar and antenatal guidance is close to my heart. Pregnancy isn't just nine months—it’s an emotional, spiritual and lifestyle journey. And postpartum care? Equally neglected, unfortunately. I work a lot with new moms and moms-to-be to make sure the journey is as smooth and healthy as possible. Patients often tell me that they feel “safe” or “understood” here. I don’t take that lightly. My job’s not to impress but to empower. Even if that means explaining ama, agni, or doshas ten different ways until it clicks for them. That’s the point—to make it theirs.
