Type 1 diabetes - #4681

I’m Dr. Shubham Koundalkar, an Ayurvedic physician with a focused interest in endocrinology, lifestyle disorders, acid-peptic diseases, hair loss, and sleep-related issues. My approach to healing is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic wisdom, where I treat the individual as a whole—mind, body, and spirit—rather than merely addressing symptoms. I believe that long-term wellness is achieved by restoring inner balance, and I work closely with my patients to create simple, practical, and sustainable treatment plans that align with their unique constitution and life circumstances. In my clinical practice, I specialize in managing conditions like thyroid imbalances, PCOS, diabetes, hyperacidity, GERD, chronic insomnia, stress-induced disorders, and various types of hair fall including alopecia and premature greying. I use a combination of Ayurvedic diagnosis (including Nadi Pariksha and dosha assessment), personalized herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, and daily routine adjustments to ensure that treatments are not only effective but also long-lasting. What sets my practice apart is the emphasis I place on patient education and empowerment. I guide individuals in understanding their prakriti (body constitution), how lifestyle choices impact health, and how simple Ayurvedic principles can be incorporated into modern life. Whether it's improving digestion, regulating hormones, managing stress, or enhancing sleep quality, my goal is to offer care that is natural, personalized, and deeply transformative. I also actively keep myself updated through continuous learning and research in integrative approaches to chronic disease management. For me, the healing journey is a collaborative process, and I take pride in supporting my patients every step of the way.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with nearly 10 years of clinical experience in holistic patient care. Over the past decade, I have consistently focused on diagnosing and treating various acute and chronic health conditions using classical Ayurvedic principles. My approach emphasizes understanding the root cause of illness through detailed prakriti and vikriti analysis, and then crafting individualized treatment protocols that include herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, diet regulation, and lifestyle counseling. Throughout my practice, I have worked with patients dealing with digestive disorders, joint pain, stress-related conditions, hormonal imbalances, skin issues, and lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. My goal is to restore health by bringing balance to the doshas and promoting the body's innate healing capacity. I strongly believe in preventive care and patient education, empowering individuals to take control of their health through sustainable habits. My decade-long experience has not only enriched my diagnostic skills but also deepened my compassion and understanding of each patient's unique journey. I remain committed to providing evidence-based, ethical Ayurvedic care rooted in tradition yet aligned with modern wellness needs.

With over two years of dedicated clinical experience as an Ayurvedic consultant, I specialize in providing holistic and personalized treatment for a wide range of health concerns. My practice is rooted in traditional Ayurvedic principles, combined with a thorough understanding of patient needs in today’s healthcare landscape. I have worked extensively in both outpatient (OP) and inpatient (IP) settings, managing treatment protocols with a focus on achieving sustainable and effective results. My areas of specialization include chronic and lifestyle-related conditions such as osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), diabetes, and gastric disorders, as well as gynaecological issues, pain management, skin conditions, and ano-rectal concerns like fissures and hemorrhoids. I am particularly experienced in creating individualized treatment plans that address the root cause of disease through classical Ayurvedic therapies, internal medications, Panchakarma procedures, and dietary and lifestyle guidance. Patient care has always been at the core of my approach. I strongly believe in building a compassionate and trusting doctor-patient relationship. By taking time to listen to each patient's concerns, I aim to offer a healing environment that supports both physical recovery and emotional wellbeing. Whether it’s a chronic illness or an acute condition, I focus on empowering my patients with knowledge and guidance throughout their healing journey. Through a careful and systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment, I ensure that every therapeutic plan is not only effective but also tailored to suit the unique constitution and condition of each individual. My commitment lies in delivering Ayurvedic care that is both scientifically sound and deeply rooted in the classical texts, ensuring my patients receive the highest standard of traditional healing with modern clinical sensibility.

I am deeply passionate about the healing science of Ayurveda and firmly believe that even complex pathological conditions can be effectively managed through Ayurvedic principles when combined with appropriate treatment, lifestyle modifications, and diet. My approach to patient care is rooted in understanding the individual constitution (Prakriti) and identifying the imbalanced doshas that contribute to disease manifestation. After completing my BAMS degree, I have gained hands-on clinical experience for over a year, focusing on chronic lifestyle disorders such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. These conditions often stem from long-standing dietary errors, stress, and inactivity, and I strive to address not just the symptoms but the root causes through a holistic, individualized approach. During consultations, I begin by listening closely to the patient's complaints and history, followed by a detailed assessment of their Prakriti and doshic imbalance. I also take into account any previous medical treatments or diagnoses. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, I design personalized treatment protocols that include herbal medications, diet recommendations, and lifestyle adjustments tailored to the patient’s unique constitution and presenting symptoms. While I am committed to the Ayurvedic system of healing, I also recognize the value of integrative care. In cases where immediate intervention is required, I support the inclusion of emergency allopathic treatment when necessary, always keeping the patient’s well-being as the highest priority. My ultimate goal as a practitioner is not just to treat disease but to restore harmony in body and mind, guiding each patient toward long-term health through safe, natural, and effective Ayurvedic care.

I am a passionate and responsible Ayurvedic doctor, having completed my internship at the renowned VPSV Ayurveda College, Kottakkal, Kerala. My clinical journey has been shaped by the rich traditions of Kerala Ayurveda, where I gained extensive hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating patients with authentic Ayurvedic therapies. I am dedicated to delivering personalized and holistic healthcare, with a focus on preventive medicine and positive lifestyle modification. I actively counsel my patients on achieving optimal health through balanced diet, daily regimen, stress management, and natural therapies. Additionally, I am a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from the Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence, which allows me to integrate meditation and mindfulness techniques into my treatment protocols, promoting mental well-being along with physical health. My approach is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a commitment to empowering patients on their journey towards complete wellness.

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.
