Having dry cough after flu - #428

I am Dr. Sushma M, an Ayurvedic doctor with over 20 years of clinical experience dedicated to preventive healthcare and holistic healing. My core philosophy in practice revolves around preventing disease before it manifests, using Ayurvedic dietary principles and lifestyle regulation as powerful tools to maintain balance and well-being. I strongly believe that true healing begins with understanding the individual constitution (Prakriti) and addressing imbalances at their root rather than simply managing symptoms. Along with classical Ayurvedic treatments, I incorporate color therapy and traditional energy medicine into my practice. These natural healing modalities allow me to work on both the physical and subtle energy levels of the patient, supporting emotional and mental well-being as part of the healing process. By combining diet-based preventive care with personalized therapies, I aim to offer a holistic path toward long-term health and vitality. My approach is patient-centric, focused on identifying the underlying cause of disease and guiding individuals with compassion and clarity through natural, sustainable healing methods. Over the years, I have witnessed the deep transformation that comes from restoring harmony in body, mind, and spirit—something that modern medicine often overlooks. I am committed to continuing this integrative approach to help my patients achieve a state of true health through time-tested Ayurvedic wisdom.

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 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.
