Dr. Rukkam Sharma
With over 7 years of dedicated clinical experience, I have been committed to practicing authentic Ayurvedic medicine with a patient-centered and root-cause-based approach. My journey as an Ayurvedic physician has allowed me to work with a wide range of patients suffering from chronic and lifestyle-related conditions. I have developed a strong foundation in diagnosing dosha imbalances and tailoring treatment protocols that include classical Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, personalized diet, and lifestyle modifications. Throughout my career, I have focused on combining traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a clear understanding of each patient’s unique constitution (prakriti) and health history. My areas of interest include managing metabolic disorders, joint and musculoskeletal issues, skin diseases, digestive problems, and gynecological conditions through time-tested Ayurvedic formulations and therapies. I am especially passionate about preventive healthcare and believe in educating patients on seasonal routines (ritucharya), daily regimens (dinacharya), and holistic wellness practices. I emphasize open communication and empathetic consultation, ensuring that each patient feels heard, supported, and motivated throughout their healing journey. My clinical background, combined with continuous learning, has helped me maintain a high standard of care and build lasting trust with my patients. I believe true healing comes not only from treating symptoms but by restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit—the core philosophy of Ayurveda.

Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

In Ayurveda, squint (Vakra Drishti) is primarily due to vitiation of Prana Vata and Alochaka Pitta, disturbing the neuromuscular coordination of extraocular muscles. To address this, we adopt Vata-Pitta shamana and Brimhana line of treatment. Nasya and Murdhni taila therapies help pacify Prana Vata and strengthen cranial nerve functions. Netra Tarpana and Netra Dhara nourish the eye tissues, improving muscular tone and alignment. Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda provides localized Snigdha Swedana, enhancing blood flow and relieving neuromuscular rigidity. Internal Rasayana like Rasaraj Rasa, Suvarna Makshik, and Bala-Ashwagandha help regenerate nerve tissue and restore ocular motor control gradually.

While surgery is a common recommendation for correcting squint eyes, there are some Ayurvedic approaches that may support eye health and function. However, it's important to remember that Ayurveda often works best when used as a complement to conventional medical treatments, not as replacement. Focus first on understanding your Prakriti, or body constitution, as this will guide the specific treatments that may be most effective. Generally, imbalances relating to Vata dosha can affect nervous system functions, including eye movements. To begin, consider incorporating Ayurvedic eye exercises, or "Trataka," into your daily routine. These involve focusing on a single point, like a candle flame, to improve eye focus and strengthen eye muscles. Practice this for 5-10 minutes daily, but ensure eyes are not strained. Diet is essential. Consume foods high in beta-carotene and vitamin A, such as carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes, support eye health. Ghee in small amounts can aid in nourishing eye tissues. Avoid foods that are excessively dry or cold, as these can aggravate Vata dosha. For eyewashes, Triphala, an Ayurvedic herb mix, is known for its benefits. Boil it in water, let it cool, and then strain. Use daily as an eye wash after it cools down to body temperature. It is believed to have rejuvenating properties for the eyes. Ensure you maintain a balanced lifestyle; stress and lack of sleep can exacerbate symptoms. Try to engage in regular meditation and yoga practices, focusing on poses that encourage balance and calmness. Finally, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner might give tailored advice based on your constitution and current health status. If symptoms worsen, however, consulting an ophthalmologist is crucial. While Ayurveda offers supportive therapies, some cases require medical interventions, especially if there's a risk of vision loss. Prioritize safety when it comes to vision.
