Dr. Theja C R
I am a pure ayurveda practitioner and yeah I’ve been working as a vaidya from the last 3.5 years. Honestly, didn’t plan a lot when I started – I just knew I wanted to stay true to the roots of Ayurveda, not the polished, commercialised version you see all over but the one that actually feels lived-in. I try to keep my practice grounded, simple and most of all—effective.
In these 3.5 years (feels like more sometimes), I’ve dealt with all kinds of patients… chronic skin issues, gut imbalances, irregular periods, stress burnout types, migraine things, people who come to me after trying allopathy and just feel, like, lost. And no I don’t promise magic or overnight cure, that’s just not how ayurveda works. But I do listen. I really try to understand the prakriti of each patient, dosha stuff, lifestyle patterns, emotional things too, coz they matter more than ppl think.
Most days I’m either consulting in-person or preparing churnas or decoctions myself… not always easy but I don’t like outsourcing the real parts. I feel ayurveda is hands-on. I also keep learning – not just old texts like Charak Samhita, but also newer discussions around diet, urban pollution, stress, hormonal imbalances, esp among women these days.
Sometimes I wonder if 3.5 yrs is even enough to call myself ‘experienced’. But then I look back and see the regulars who come back, refer their families, trust me with their health. That means a lot.
I don’t do fancy marketing or run insta reels (yet lol), just here, trying to hold space for people who want to heal slow, but deep.
No fixed specialisation as such, but yeah I tend to attract cases related to digestion, pcos, skin, and sleep issues. I work on them holistically, not just with herbs but proper dincharya guidance, food combinations, stress breaks... the real ayurvedic way.
Still learning, still showing up.
