Our Team of Ayurvedic Experts — page 80

I am someone who stepped into clinical Ayurveda around 4 years back and honestly didn’t expect to get this deep into it this quick. But the more I kept seeing patients walk in with complex issues, the more I realized how powerful the classical Ayurvedic approach actually is—when it's done properly, with dosha-based logic, root-cause thinking, and actual listening. I mostly focus on the kind of problems that don’t really go away with short-term fixes. Like GI stuff—acid reflux, IBS, constipation, sluggish Agni—I use herbs that help restore gut integrity, sometimes along with gentle detox or diet shifting. Hormonal things like thyroid imbalance or PCOD I usually handle with Rasayana and Agni therapy plus slowly getting lifestyle on track. And then there’s skin conditions like eczema or acne... people often don’t link skin with digestion or stress, but in Ayurveda it’s all connected. For pain-related issues—like knee stiffness, arthritis or back problems—I mostly rely on Panchakarma tools like Basti, Abhyanga, plus medicated lepas when needed. Also, I do a good bit of anorectal stuff (piles, fissures etc.) which ppl feel awkward talking about, but it’s treatable—mostly with herbs, lifestyle tweaks, and some topical help. More recently, I’ve been working with chronic and neurological patients—kidney failure, even meningitis cases—where Ayurveda supports healing alongside allopathy. Each patient is diff. so my plans always change based on their Prakriti, symptoms, season, or even what they can realistically follow. I work with kids, adults, elders—whoever comes in. My aim? Just to give real, sustainable, natural care using authentic Ayurveda—not shortcuts, not guesswork.

I am practicing Ayurveda for 5 years now, and honestly each year has added some new angle to how I see patients n healing overall. I started with general practice—basic digestion issues, fever, skin rash, that sort of thing—but slowly leaned more into women's health too. Menstrual stuff, PCOS, fertility troubles, even menopause care… those are now a big part of my everyday work. Most ppl come in with long-standing issues, tried other options, didn’t work much. That’s where Ayurveda really fits, I feel. I usually go pretty deep with case history. Not just "what's the problem" but also—when did it start, what changed in life back then, food patterns, stress triggers, like that. Diagnosis isn’t just physical, it’s more like a whole map of how the body n mind shifted out of sync. I focus a lot on gut health, sleep cycle, prakruti balance. That’s how I plan herbal meds or rasayana therapies. I also work with skin issues—acne, pigmentation, fungal infections—mainly using herbal lepas, diet tweaks, and detox when really needed. And I’m trained to handle minor procedures too, like uttarbasti, cuT insertion, local fomentations etc. In labour room I’ve done normal deliveries independently... those experiences really shaped how I see a woman’s journey in all stages. I'm not into overloading with pills—usually it's 3–4 things max, targeted and gentle. And I always explain the why. When people *understand* their plan, they follow better, heal better. I keep followups tight the first month to see what’s working or not. Adjusting treatment is part of the process. Whether it's a hormonal problem or something simple like constipation, I keep the core idea same—get to root cause, support the system, and let the body lead. I still learn every day from cases. Ayurveda’s old, yeah, but the way it applies today is constantly shifting. I just try to keep pace and stay real with it.

I am someone who sorta walks between two worlds—Ayurveda and Allopathy—and honestly I don’t see them as opposite sides. For me, they’re just different lenses to look at the same human story. Whether someone walks in with a fever or a chronic skin issue that’s been bugging them for years, I try to not rush in with a prescription. First, I listen. I really sit with their words, the way they describe symptoms, even stuff they almost leave out—it tells you a lot if you’re really paying attention. Ayurvedically, I’ll map out the doshic pattern or see where lifestyle’s gone outta sync. But I’m not hesitant to run bloods or refer an x-ray if something needs ruling out. Some days I might start with Triphala and adjust their ahar-vihar. Other times, a short antibiotic course is what’s safest n most practical. That balance is always shifting, patient to patient. I’m big on patient education. Like, if you’re treating PCOD or acid reflux or migraines again and again and not telling them why it's showing up... then they just keep coming back without real healing. I explain stuff—even if it takes longer—and try to keep it human, not too textbooky. Preventive care is another space I care a lot about. Not just “don’t eat fried food,” but helping people actually understand their bodies, cycles, digestion rhythms, even emotional triggers. That’s when people start healing not just from disease, but from this long-term pattern of imbalance we kinda normalize. Whether it's something as basic as a cold or something deeper like fatigue that’s not explained by any test... I try to meet them where they are, not where a protocol says they should be. For me, the goal is long-term wellness. Doesn’t matter if that starts with a decoction or a diagnosis code—as long as we’re working toward real balance. That’s kinda the core of how I practice. It’s not rigid. It’s alive.

I am working full-time in clinical Ayurveda since past two years, kinda slowly building my own rhythm with chronic cases—ones that don’t just go away with a quick fix or a single lepa. Most of my work’s around gut disorders, skin problems, nervous issues, liver conditions, and musculoskeletal stuff like arthritis and back stiffness. I spend a lotta time digging into the root—like with IBD, the whole Agni-bala-bowel loop matters way more than it first looks. I use deepan-pachan herbs, diet overhauls (not extreme, just what actually works), and slow tweaks till the bowel finds its pattern again. For skin—eczema, psoriasis, dandruff flares, sometimes even weird fungal stuff that keeps coming back—I usually go for internal detox, Virechana when needed, and Raktashodhana therapies. But I keep meds gentle. External stuff only if it’s really aligned with what's going on inside. Liver cases come in often these days, maybe lifestyle stress or wrong food—but I work a lot with Pittahara and Yakrit-protecting herbs, and guide folks through slower metabolism fixes without exhausting them. Neurological cases like tingling, fatigue in limbs, or low coordination—I’ve seen Nasya and Rasayanas give some real impact, especially when combined with calming routines n oil therapies. With joint issues—well, that’s a whole puzzle. I use Panchakarma detoxes if the body's ready, otherwise stick to Snehana-Swedana cycles, plus some tailor-fit Ahara changes. People usually just want pain to go, but I aim at stopping the return too. I think healing needs a pace. I don’t rush. I try to read the patient’s Prakriti, look for patterns, tweak plans as needed. Most of what I do is based on classics but adjusted for how people live now—work stress, food, screens, erratic sleep...all of it adds up. I don’t just treat symptoms—I’m trying to help people feel in sync again, in a way that actually stays.

I am working in the field of Ayurveda with special focus on surgical and para-surgical management, something that many people don’t usually expect Ayurveda to handle. Over the past 3 years and 7 months I gained clinical experience especially in anorectal disorders like piles, fissures and fistula, which often trouble patients silently until they become unbearable. These are conditions where Ayurveda offers very effective approaches, not only through medicines but also through para-surgical procedures. One such method is Ksharasutra therapy, a technique I practiced regularly, where medicated thread is used to treat fistula-in-ano and other chronic conditions. It is minimally invasive but require patience, regular follow up, and careful application. Similarly, I trained in Agnikarma, which uses controlled thermal cauterization for pain relief and management of small surgical conditions. Both of these methods are rooted in classical Ayurveda but highly relevant in modern surgical practice too. Alongside that, I also worked with various Panchakarma procedures—oleation, sudation, basti, virechana etc.—that support recovery, reduce inflammation and restore balance in patients undergoing surgical or para-surgical care. Many times, Panchakarma is not just therapy by itself but a preparatory or supportive process that makes outcomes more effective. Currently I am pursuing postgraduation in Shalya Tantra, the Ayurvedic branch of surgery. This allows me to deepen my understanding of both operative and para-operative techniques, while also staying rooted in the holistic principles of Ayurveda. It’s demanding, balancing study and practice, but it keeps me constantly improving. For me surgery in Ayurveda is not only about removing disease but about restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life without unnecessary complications. Each patient is different, and the treatment plan always need adjustment—it is never copy paste medicine. That is something I keep learning again and agian.

I am an Ayurvedic physican working for about 5 years now, and honestly it doesn’t feel that long cause every case still feels new in its own way. I started my journey in 2020—fresh, curious, probably a little overwhelmed too—but from the start I just knew I wanted to help people heal in a way that felt complete. Not just fixing the surface but really clearing out the root causes. That’s what drew me deep into Panchakarma and Rasayana chikitsa. My core work revolves around chronic disorders, lifestyle imbalance stuff, stress-related issues—all those modern complaints that classical Ayurveda actually handles really well when it’s done right. I do a lot of detox plans and internal medicine combos, all tailored. I try not to push one-size-fits-all stuff ever. Sometimes a person just needs Virechana to reset, other times it’s more about calming vata with herbs, daily rhythm, maybe just helping them sleep better again without pills. Most people come to me when they feel stuck. Like they’ve tried everything and nothing really worked. I see that a lot. And ya sometimes it takes patience—on both sides. But I do believe the healing we do with proper ahara-vihara (food + daily living), herbs, and therapies can completely shift the baseline of health. I mix classical texts with a bit of what modern life needs. I mean we can't expect everyone to live like it’s 1000 BCE... but we *can* make small changes that feel real and doable. That’s where I try to meet each patient—somewhere between ancient wisdom and their 9-to-5 reality. End of the day, I just want them to feel like health isn’t out of reach. Just needs the right map... and someone to walk with for a while.

I am someone who kinda learnt early that real clinical exposure teaches more than textbooks ever cud. I started off at Shri Jayachamarajendra Ayurveda and Unani Hospital in Bengaluru—worked there for like 6 months and honestly that phase really grounded me. Not just in pulse reading n prakriti stuff but actually *watching* how classical chikitsa gets applied in everyday cases... seeing ppl walk in confused and leave feeling lighter. That stuck with me. Then came my 2 months at NIMHANS—wasn’t sure what to expect but it changed a lot for me. Psychiatry was intense in a way I hadn’t felt before. But what I appreciated was getting to see how Ayurveda n modern psych can sort of... meet halfway? That training made me more sensitive to things like stress layers, sleep burnout, panic loops, psychosomatic stuff. Helped me see the mind as more than manas n doshas—it’s also how ppl hold pain, stories, trauma... all of it. After that, I got placed at K.C. General Hospital and Govt Ayurveda Dispensary in Hirehalli, Tumkuru—both for 2 months each. One was more urban fast-paced, the other super grounded and rural. The combo gave me a balance—urban diabetes cases, rural joint pain legends, random infections, chronic skin, seasonal fevers, fertility troubles. Each space forced me to slow down, listen more, tweak things when standard protocols didn’t fit. Then came the Epidemic Disease Hospital rotation in Bengaluru... different vibe altogether. Suddenly you're not treating *one* person but thinking in terms of clusters, outbreaks, risk zones. It pushed me to think of Ayurveda not just in terms of herbs or rituals—but as a public health tool, too. How can we prevent spread, support immunity, work with communities in crisis mode... that was new for me, and useful too. All this—it shaped how I practice now. I don’t just write a herb list and send ppl off. I try to read their patterns, ask weird questions, make sure they’re heard properly. My approach is deeply classical but also very real-world, cos real patients aren’t in textbooks. They’re in front of you, with layers. I try to meet them there.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a little over five years into this line of work, and honestly, each year just made me more curious about the depth Ayurveda actually holds. I started off in a small private clinic, kinda unsure how real-world patients would respond to classical methods... but yeah, turns out, if done right, the changes are very real. Over time I ended up working in both clinics and hospital setups, managing more than 200+ cases, not just numbers—these were ppl with very real, different problems and stories. Most of the time, I’m working around digestive issues—like chronic bloating, acidity, constipation, sometimes IBS-type patterns—where Agni plays a huge role and you just can’t rush the process. I also deal with stress-linked conditions a lot (like sleeplesness or fatigue with no clear reason), plus skin probs like acne or eczema and then your lifestyle disorders like borderline diabetes, thyroid shifts, those in-between cases that need long-term hand-holding. In all that, I do spend time explaining the why’s to patients—like how their Prakriti or Vikriti affects how fast or slow they’re recovering. That part feels important. In the hospital zone, things were bit different... had to think in sync with allopathy teams, which actually sharpened my approach in layered cases. Didn’t mean giving up Ayurvedic core—it just meant being smart about integration, esp in chronic stuff that doesn’t fix overnight. That’s where I use Panchakarma, but only if it fits, not just because the textbook says so. I don’t promise miracles but I do push for sustainability. Using herbs, tweaking daily habits, teaching them to watch their own patterns—it’s slow work, but I’ve seen ppl reclaim energy and calm without tons of meds. And that... that’s what keeps me going. My thing really is—blending deep classical theory with what’s doable today. Every patient’s a bit diff, and that makes the whole thing worth it.

I am someone who actually enjoy doing general consultations… maybe more than ppl expect, because there’s something about listening to a patient’s story and trying to connect the dots that feels right to me. I deal with all kinds of stuff — sometimes it’s vague “I just feel off” type things, other times it’s straight forward colds, aches, skin issues, BP checks.. all that. My way is to dig in, not just slap a quick fix, I like finding why the prob is happening in first place. I mix solid clinical evaluation with just… being human, making sure the patient feels comfortable to say what’s really going on. Over the years, I’ve built trust by being honest even if the answer isn’t what they want to hear, and by making sure they leave knowing exactly what next steps are, not half confused. I keep the sessions flexible, but structured enough so we don’t miss important details — looking at medical history, daily habits, even small lifestyle patterns that could be messing with their health. And yes, I do explain stuff in plain language… not just throw medical words. Health education matters to me, cause if someone understands their condition and the plan, they actually follow it better. Whether it’s helping manage a nagging chronic thing in early stages or just ruling out something serious, I focus on accuracy and practicality. My aim is simple really: make sure by the time they step out, they feel heard, clear about what’s happening, and sure we’re on the right path for their health.

I am into Ayurveda and Panchakarma full-time for the last 11+ years, and honestly, it still feels like there’s more to learn with every case. Most of my work revolves around using *Panchakarma*—not just as some seasonal cleanse but as a proper therapeutic tool for real conditions like metabolic issues, skin problems, spine stiffness, stress, joint pain... the list goes on. I don’t use one-size-fits-all plans. Never did. I build protocols after understanding *prakriti* and *vikriti* clearly, coz what suits one body might totally mess up another. I work with all 5 major *Shodhana* procedures—*Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya,* and *Raktamokshana*. And I plan them based on classical text references plus real-world clinical need. Some patients come thinking they need panchakarma immediately, but they don’t. Some avoid it even when it’s the *only* thing that could help. So part of my job is actually explaining the *why* behind the treatment, not just giving it. What I’ve noticed over the years is people carry disease in layers. Physical yes—but also emotional load, diet errors, missed sleep, all piled up slowly. And that’s where this whole system works so well. Because Panchakarma doesn't just clear the body—it resets patterns. I usually guide patients not just through therapy, but also what happens after. Food discipline, herbal support, timing, seasonal routines... it's all part of the bigger picture. A big part of my practice is also just listening properly—sometimes someone’s real issue isn’t the thing they first say. So whether I’m treating IBS, urticaria, fatigue, high stress or even just helping someone detox safely—I always try to go back to basics: What’s their fire doing (Agni)? What dosha’s aggravated? Are they *ready* for deep cleansing or do we start lighter? For me, the goal is never quick fix—it’s to get people back to a state where they’re not managing symptoms daily, but actually feeling balanced again. And that’s the part I love most about this work. When someone says they finally feel like *themself* again.
