How does Ayurveda support mental health? - #10819

I am an Ayurveda practitioner with over 14 years of experience in both clinical practice and research, dedicated to delivering authentic and effective Ayurvedic healthcare. My approach is deeply rooted in science and evidence-based practices, ensuring that every treatment I offer is grounded in classical Ayurvedic principles while being supported by modern research. I specialize in designing precise and individualized treatment protocols, where I prioritize accurate diet planning and minimal medication to achieve faster and sustainable results. I believe that the power of Ayurveda lies not just in medicines, but in understanding the root cause of disease and balancing the body through proper diet, lifestyle, and therapies. My goal is always to provide side-effect-free treatments that restore health and well-being naturally. Over the years, I have successfully treated a wide range of conditions by integrating traditional Ayurvedic therapies with patient-centric counseling and evidence-based strategies. I am committed to helping my patients lead healthier lives by combining the wisdom of Ayurveda with modern scientific validation.

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician trained at VPSV Ayurveda College, Kottakkal, where I completed my BAMS degree with a strong foundation in classical Ayurvedic principles and clinical application. My journey began with an intensive 11-month internship at VPSV Ayurveda College itself, where I worked closely with senior doctors in both outpatient and inpatient settings. During this period, I was actively involved in diagnosing and treating patients under supervision, administering herbal formulations, managing treatment charts, and participating in regular clinical discussions and ward rounds. This experience greatly refined my diagnostic acumen and deepened my understanding of traditional therapies. Following that, I completed a one-month internship at the Government Ayurveda Dispensary in Kadukutty, Thrissur. This gave me exposure to grassroots-level primary care and community health programs. I participated in health camps, awareness drives, and routine dispensary operations—gaining hands-on experience in public health initiatives and learning to manage care in resource-limited settings. Currently, I serve as an Ayurvedic medical officer at a Government Dispensary, where I provide comprehensive primary care using classical Ayurvedic diagnosis and treatment protocols. My day-to-day responsibilities include patient consultations, prescribing internal and external medications, Panchakarma-based interventions, and managing health records. I am also actively involved in patient education, helping individuals adopt Ayurvedic lifestyle practices to support long-term well-being. In parallel, I run a private consultation service from home, offering personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique constitution (prakriti), disease condition, and lifestyle. This role has strengthened my ability to work independently and enhanced my patient engagement and satisfaction skills. Over the years, I’ve developed strong clinical skills in Ayurvedic diagnosis, effective patient communication, meticulous record-keeping, and healthcare delivery in both institutional and community settings. I strive to make Ayurveda accessible, evidence-based, and patient-centered—bringing holistic healing to individuals and families alike.
