What are vitamin C capsules and how do they support immune health? - #16629

I have been practicing as a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician since 1990, with over three decades of clinical experience in treating a wide range of chronic and lifestyle-related health conditions. My core areas of focus include hair disorders, skin diseases, and lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, and stress-related imbalances. Over the years, I have developed a patient-centric approach that emphasizes deep-rooted healing through authentic Ayurvedic principles. My treatment philosophy is based on understanding the unique constitution (prakriti) and imbalance (vikriti) of each patient, allowing me to craft individualized care plans using classical formulations, diet corrections, detox therapies (shodhana), and lifestyle modifications. Whether it’s persistent hair fall, recurring skin allergies, or long-term metabolic disorders, I aim to address the root cause rather than just suppress symptoms. In the management of lifestyle disorders like diabetes and arthritis, I integrate Ayurvedic medicines with structured dinacharya (daily routines) and ahar (dietary guidance), focusing on sustainable results and long-term wellness. I also work extensively with stress-related concerns, offering holistic strategies that incorporate mind-body practices, including meditation, herbal support, and counseling rooted in Ayurveda. With a strong foundation in traditional Ayurvedic texts and decades of hands-on experience, I remain committed to providing safe, natural, and effective healthcare solutions. My goal is to guide patients toward a balanced life, free from chronic ailments, through personalized treatment protocols that restore harmony to both body and mind.

I am a passionate and responsible Ayurvedic doctor, having completed my internship at the renowned VPSV Ayurveda College, Kottakkal, Kerala. My clinical journey has been shaped by the rich traditions of Kerala Ayurveda, where I gained extensive hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating patients with authentic Ayurvedic therapies. I am dedicated to delivering personalized and holistic healthcare, with a focus on preventive medicine and positive lifestyle modification. I actively counsel my patients on achieving optimal health through balanced diet, daily regimen, stress management, and natural therapies. Additionally, I am a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from the Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence, which allows me to integrate meditation and mindfulness techniques into my treatment protocols, promoting mental well-being along with physical health. My approach is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a commitment to empowering patients on their journey towards complete wellness.

Over the past eight months, I have had the opportunity to manage and treat more than 500 patients, allowing me to sharpen my clinical skills and deepen my understanding of individualized Ayurvedic care. My experience spans a wide range of conditions, and I have focused on offering root-cause-based treatment using classical diagnostic tools, personalized herbal formulations, and therapeutic protocols grounded in traditional wisdom. During my internship, I trained across several esteemed institutions that enriched my knowledge in both core Ayurvedic disciplines and integrative care. I began at the Government Ayurveda Dispensary, Paingottoor (12/03/2024 to 11/04/2024), where I handled general OPD responsibilities and learned to apply practical Ayurvedic principles in community healthcare settings. This was followed by a month at the Government Ayurveda Dispensary, Nellimattom (12/04/2024 to 11/05/2024), where I strengthened my foundation in Ayurvedic case management and preventive care. I then trained at the District Ayurveda Hospital, Thodupuzha in the departments of Shalya Tantra (surgical care, 12/05/2024 to 11/06/2024) and Shalakya Tantra (ENT and ophthalmology, 12/07/2024 to 11/08/2024), gaining essential exposure to specialized treatments and patient procedures. I also interned at the National Ayurvedic Research Institute for Panchakarma, Cheruthuruthy (12/06/2024 to 11/07/2024), where I had hands-on training in classical Panchakarma therapies and detoxification protocols under expert supervision. In September 2024, I joined Sparsh Ayurvedic Clinic, Nellimattom, which follows an integrated medical approach. This experience allowed me to engage with both Ayurvedic and modern diagnostic perspectives, further enhancing my clinical decision-making and patient management skills. Through each of these roles, I have developed a patient-centered, holistic approach to healing—focused on treating the individual, not just the disease. My goal is to apply authentic Ayurvedic knowledge in a modern healthcare context while promoting long-term health, balance, and well-being for every patient I serve.
