Mera ling tedha ho gaya hai - #366

I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, an Ayurvedic physician from Maharashtra, committed to promoting authentic and effective Ayurvedic healing. I completed my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College, Kharghar, where I built a strong foundation in classical Ayurvedic science. After graduation, I was fortunate to be selected for the prestigious Certificate Course of Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi. Through this program, I had the unique opportunity to learn traditional and authentic Kerala Ayurveda under the mentorship of my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan, a highly respected name in the field. Currently, I am pursuing my MD in Panchakarma from the renowned Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This advanced training is enhancing my understanding of specialized Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation therapies, allowing me to integrate classical Panchakarma techniques into modern clinical practice effectively. My clinical approach combines deep-rooted traditional knowledge with scientific understanding to offer personalized care for a variety of chronic and lifestyle disorders. I am passionate about utilizing Ayurveda not just for disease management but also for preventive healthcare and wellness promotion. I am dedicated to helping my patients achieve sustainable health by addressing the root cause of ailments through holistic treatments, Panchakarma therapies, lifestyle counseling, and dietetics.

I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I have accumulated over 20 years of experience working across multiple medical specialties, including General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, and Cardiology. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to diagnose and manage a wide range of health conditions, helping patients navigate both acute and chronic medical challenges. My exposure to these diverse fields has given me a comprehensive understanding of the human body and its interconnected systems. Whether it is managing general medical conditions, neurological disorders, skin diseases, or heart-related issues, I approach every case with careful attention to detail and evidence-based practices. I believe in providing accurate diagnosis, patient education, and treatment that is both effective and tailored to the individual’s specific needs. I place great emphasis on patient-centered care, where listening, understanding, and clear communication play a vital role. Over the years, I have seen how combining clinical knowledge with empathy can significantly improve treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. With two decades of continuous learning and hands-on experience, I am committed to staying updated with the latest medical advancements and integrating them into my daily practice. My goal has always been to deliver high-quality, ethical, and compassionate medical care that addresses not just the illness but the overall well-being of my patients.

I hold an MD in Kayachikitsa from KLE University and have been a board-certified Ayurveda practitioner since 2016, with over seven years of experience in clinical practice, teaching, and research. My journey in Ayurveda is driven by a deep commitment to evidence-based practice, integrating the rich wisdom of classical Ayurvedic texts with insights from modern medical science to deliver personalized and effective patient care. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive proficiency in diagnosing and managing a wide range of chronic diseases, lifestyle disorders, and metabolic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, digestive issues, autoimmune diseases, and stress-related imbalances. I emphasize a holistic approach, focusing not only on treating symptoms but on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease to restore balance and promote long-term wellness. In addition to my clinical work, I have actively participated in research, contributing to protocol development, and patient education initiatives. My academic background and practical experience allow me to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, creating care models that are patient-centric, sustainable, and grounded in authentic Ayurvedic principles. I am particularly passionate about promoting preventive healthcare and empowering patients with knowledge and tools to maintain health naturally. My treatment protocols often include a combination of herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, dietary and lifestyle guidance, and Rasayana therapy aimed at rejuvenation and disease prevention. I am dedicated to advancing the reach of Ayurveda through clinical excellence, continuous learning, and compassionate care, ensuring that each patient I serve receives holistic, individualized, and ethical treatment.

I have had the opportunity to work at Patanjali Ayurvedic Hospital, where I gained valuable hands-on experience in authentic Ayurvedic diagnosis and treatment protocols. During my tenure, I was actively involved in patient consultation, Panchakarma therapies, and integrative treatment approaches that align with classical Ayurvedic principles. Working in such a high-volume, traditional Ayurvedic setting strengthened my skills in treating a wide range of conditions—from lifestyle disorders and joint pain to digestive issues and stress-related ailments. I closely observed how diet, herbal medicines, and therapeutic procedures can be tailored to suit each patient's Prakriti (constitution) and vikriti (imbalance), ensuring individualized and effective care. My time at Patanjali not only deepened my clinical capabilities but also instilled in me a strong commitment to evidence-based holistic healing, combining the wisdom of Ayurveda with modern-day health concerns. This experience continues to guide my patient-centered approach to care today.

I am a committed Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse background spanning both clinical practice and Ayurvedic pharmaceutical management. My journey in healthcare began in 2009 with hands-on experience in the gynecology department within an allopathic setting, which gave me valuable insight into women’s health from a multidisciplinary perspective. Transitioning into the Ayurvedic field, I worked for three years as a Quality Controller and Production Manager at the Lakshmi Seva Sangam manufacturing unit in Gandhigram, Dindigul. In this role, I was responsible for maintaining quality standards in Ayurvedic formulations, overseeing production processes, and ensuring compliance with classical preparation methods. This experience deepened my understanding of the medicinal value, purity, and potency of herbal compounds, further strengthening my foundation in Ayurvedic pharmacology and formulation science. Since 2019, I have been running my own Ayurvedic clinic, where I combine clinical expertise with my pharmaceutical background to offer holistic, personalized care. My focus is on identifying the root cause of illness through Ayurvedic diagnostics and treating patients with targeted herbal therapies, lifestyle guidance, and detox procedures. I particularly enjoy working with chronic disorders, women's health issues, and lifestyle-related conditions—providing compassionate, evidence-informed support tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. With a strong belief in the integrative power of Ayurveda, I strive to make authentic healing accessible, practical, and effective for every patient who walks through my door. My journey continues to be shaped by continuous learning, patient trust, and the desire to offer care that heals not just the body, but the whole person.

I have been actively engaged in the field of Ayurveda for the past two years, serving as both a Consultant Ayurvedic Physician and Assistant Professor. My dual roles have allowed me to stay closely connected to both clinical practice and academic excellence. As a consultant, I focus on patient-centered Ayurvedic treatments rooted in classical principles, with a keen interest in treating lifestyle disorders, metabolic imbalances, and chronic conditions through customized herbal protocols, Panchakarma therapies, and holistic counseling. In parallel, my academic experience as an Assistant Professor has deepened my understanding of Ayurvedic diagnostics and theory. I have mentored undergraduate students in core Ayurvedic subjects, conducted practical demonstrations, and facilitated interactive discussions to bridge classical knowledge with modern clinical relevance. This academic exposure has refined my analytical approach and enhanced my ability to explain complex conditions and treatment plans in an accessible way for both students and patients. My approach to patient care is holistic and evidence-based, combining classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern insights into disease pathology. I believe in addressing the root cause of illness rather than just managing symptoms, and I work closely with each individual to support long-term healing through diet, lifestyle, and mental well-being. My passion lies in promoting preventive health and educating people about sustainable wellness practices rooted in Ayurveda. With ongoing dedication to continuous learning and patient education, I strive to uphold the highest standards of Ayurvedic care both in clinical and academic settings.

I am an Ayurvedic practitioner with a strong commitment to promoting natural healing and holistic wellness through time-tested Ayurvedic principles. My clinical focus lies in managing a wide spectrum of conditions, particularly those related to bone and joint health, women’s reproductive care, pediatric concerns, and mental wellness. Over the years, I’ve helped patients navigate challenges such as arthritis, back pain, menstrual irregularities, pregnancy care, childhood digestive or immunity issues, and stress-induced imbalances, using classical Ayurvedic diagnostics and therapeutic strategies. My treatment approach is deeply personalized—rooted in the understanding that every individual is unique. I integrate herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, diet and lifestyle modifications, and emotional counseling to restore balance across the body, mind, and spirit. I firmly believe that true healing is not just about addressing symptoms, but about uncovering and resolving the root cause of disease. I am particularly passionate about empowering patients through education—helping them understand their Prakriti (individual constitution), how their daily habits affect their doshic balance, and how to sustain long-term well-being without dependence on medication. Whether it’s a young child struggling with frequent colds, a woman experiencing hormonal imbalances, or someone coping with chronic joint stiffness, I aim to offer gentle yet effective Ayurvedic care that aligns with both tradition and modern health awareness. By blending classical knowledge with compassionate care, I strive to support my patients in achieving lasting wellness that is both natural and sustainable.

As a psychological counselor specializing in the well-being of women and children, I am committed to supporting my patients through a holistic and compassionate approach. My work focuses on addressing emotional, psychological, and physical health concerns by integrating counseling, nutrition guidance, and yoga into the therapeutic process. I strongly believe that mental health and physical well-being are closely connected, and sustainable healing is achieved through consistent, mindful lifestyle changes. I work closely with women and children facing a variety of psychological challenges such as stress, anxiety, emotional imbalances, and behavioral issues. Through individualized counseling sessions, I aim to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where my patients can express themselves openly and work toward emotional resilience. I combine evidence-based psychological techniques with practical strategies that include balanced nutrition and therapeutic yoga practices tailored to each patient’s unique needs and abilities. My approach is centered on empowering patients to take charge of their mental and physical health by making gradual yet impactful adjustments to their daily routines. By focusing on lifestyle modifications — such as mindful eating, stress management, body awareness, and improved emotional regulation — I help my patients build healthier habits that contribute to long-term well-being. Whether guiding a child through emotional difficulties, supporting a woman through life’s transitions, or promoting holistic health through diet and yoga, my goal is to make each patient’s journey meaningful and effective. I am passionate about promoting mental health, self-care, and sustainable wellness practices, ensuring that every individual I work with receives thoughtful and personalized care.

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.
