I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 6 months of hands-on clinical experience—not a long time on paper maybe, but in this short span I’ve already learned how much depth there is in real-world healing vs theory. I’ve worked under senior vaidyas who didn’t just teach me what to prescribe but *how to observe*—how a patient walks in, what their skin or nails show, how their nadi tells a story before they even speak. Most of my practice so far has centered around managing everyday-but-bothersome conditions—joint pain that won’t go away, hair fall ppl can't explain, acne flare-ups, basic gynaec things like delayed cycles, stress-linked PMS, etc. I always stick to proper Ayurvedic principles—like I don’t jump into meds unless I’m clear about the dosha involvement. Nadi Pariksha is a regular part of how I assess things, and depending on what I see, I’ll plan Shaman Chikitsa, simple marma support or maybe just some food/lifestyle shifts if that’s what’s actually needed. My style is not to overload ppl with long lists of churnas n lehyas. I believe even early on that good results come from *balance*—right dose, right ahar-vihar advice, maybe some gentle exercise that suits their energy. I’ve already seen how much better ppl respond when they feel heard and not just “fixed.” I’m still learning—every day, every pt. But I’m very clear that Ayurveda works best when it’s tailored properly. Even in these first few months, I’ve seen cases turn around—not magically, but steadily. That’s the part I trust most about this path. And yeah, I’m focused on getting sharper—with diagnostics, with therapy planning, and most importantly, in giving care that’s both real and reachable for whoever comes in.

I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 4 and half years in clinical work, mostly in Kayachikitsa – which is like the general medicine side of Ayurveda, but with a lot of depth when you actually start applying it. My main focus is on lifestyle disorders that keep showing up in this generation – things like metabolic imbalance, stress-related problems, mental health dips, digestive & gut issues, and skin conditions that just don’t clear fully with temporary fixes. I completed my B.A.M.S from Alva’s Ayurveda Medical College, Moodbidri, and then my M.D in Kayachikitsa from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research, Bengaluru, under RGUHS. Along the way, I also picked up certifications in Panchakarma and in Diet & Diabetes programs – cause I’ve seen how much diet and detox work hand in hand with medicine in real life cases. In my practice, I try to keep things personal. Yes, there are protocols in Ayurveda, but no two patients come with the exact same background, prakriti or daily stress pattern. Some need more cleansing, some need building, others just need small steady corrections. I follow proper Ayurvedic medical guidelines but also make sure the plan feels doable for the person – no point in writing something perfect on paper if it never fits their actual life. I’m really passionate about making effective, personalised healthcare accessible, not just for those already deep into Ayurveda but for anyone who’s open to real healing beyond symptom control. To me, holistic healing means we’re looking at the long term – preventing relapse, keeping the system strong, and making sure the mind and body aren’t working against each other. Whether it’s someone walking in with years of acidity, stubborn skin flare-ups, chronic fatigue, or stress that spills into their sleep, my aim is to guide them in a way that’s practical yet fully rooted in Ayurveda’s wisdom. Sometimes the changes are quick, other times slow – but when it works, it really lasts.
