Dr. Bhavesh Navalkishor Tapdiya
Ayurvedic physician who's kinda grown through both sides of the system—working in quiet rural setups and fast-paced urban clinics. That contrast taught me a lot. You see one kind of patient walking 8 km to reach you with chronic pain and another just looking for seasonal detox and stress support. Ayurveda works for both, but how you use it needs to shift case by case.
I’ve managed both OPD and IPD loads, sometimes juggling Panchakarma supervision, counseling a patient on diet, and handling a complicated skin flare-up all in the same day. I’ve worked a lot with chronic gut issues, asthma, eczema, menstrual irregularities, sleep problems—basically, the usual suspects when lifestyle's gone out of sync. But also handled acute emergencies in field settings, which meant relying hard on nadi, eyes, tone, even vibe. All that sharpens clinical instincts in a different way than textbooks do.
One thing I always circle back to is personalized care. I don’t believe in generic wellness charts. Every case starts with their prakriti, their triggers, their routines—even their mindset. I use classical herbs, sometimes Rasayana therapy, sometimes deep detox like Virechana or Basti... but only when the body’s ready. No force-healing here.
I’m big on patient education. Like actually taking time to explain why this herb is chosen or why I’m asking them to eat earlier at night. That clarity builds trust, and it sticks better. I like when patients feel in control of their healing—not just following instructions blindly.
Also, I’ve worked with a bunch of community health programs, which honestly shifted my approach a bit. It reminded me that prevention is way more powerful than correction. Whether someone walks in with diabetes, chronic fatigue, hairfall, or they just wanna “feel normal” again—I work to build a plan that feels real, not perfect.
For me, Ayurveda isn’t a product, it’s a rhythm. I just help ppl find theirs again. One step, one breath, one choice at a time.
