Career in Ayurveda: My Journey and Insights

After earning my Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) degree, I believed my dynamic nature wasn’t suited for patient consultations. This led me to interview for a position at an insurance company in Dubai. In Dubai, without a medical license, options are limited to roles in insurance companies or similar fields. A Change in Perspective During the interview, I was asked why I wasn’t pursuing a career in consultations. I explained that I thought my dynamic nature wouldn’t fit into the structured world of patient care. This belief persisted until I started practicing Ayurveda. My first few patient interactions were eye-opening. Seeing patients recover and their satisfaction made me realize my true potential. I found that my dynamic nature allowed me to connect with patients on a deeper level. Consulting in Ayurveda became incredibly rewarding. The joy of seeing patients recover and the satisfaction of making a real difference in their lives was beyond any material gains. I realized that being an Ayurvedic doctor was about transforming lives and bringing happiness to others. Today, I lead a team of eight Ayurvedic doctors and twenty-four nutritionists trained in Ayurveda. Together, we have helped over 20,000 people from 61 countries heal through Ayurveda. This journey from a single practitioner to leading a diverse team has been immensely rewarding. It stands as a testament to the potential of Ayurveda and the impact it can have on people’s lives. Advice for Aspiring Ayurvedic Practitioners For those considering a career in Ayurveda, I have some advice based on my experiences: Embrace Consultations: Don’t shy away from patient consultations. The joy and fulfillment of treating someone are unmatched. Believe in Yourself: Confidence in your abilities is crucial. If I can achieve this, so can you. All you need is self-belief and hard work. Work Hard: There is no substitute for hard work. Unlike a 9 to 5 job, being an Ayurvedic doctor might require you to work round the clock. Your dedication will determine your success. The Reality of Ayurvedic Practice Practising Ayurveda is not just about the time spent with patients. It involves keeping detailed records of case studies, learning from each patient, revisiting textbooks, engaging with peers, and continuously striving to improve. Each patient encounter is a learning opportunity. Every patient presents a unique case, and each encounter teaches you something new. As the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” Each patient you treat will add to your experience, and by the time you’ve treated hundreds or thousands of patients, you’ll have a vast repository of knowledge to draw from. This continuous learning and improvement are what make Ayurveda a rewarding career. The challenges and Rewards One challenge of being an Ayurvedic doctor is maintaining a work-life balance. Unlike a typical 9 to 5 job, your work hours can be unpredictable. Patients may need your attention at any time. This can be demanding, but the rewards of helping people heal make it worthwhile. A quote I read encapsulates this well: “If you want to buy something without looking at the price tag, you have to work without looking at the clock.” Success in Ayurveda depends on the hours you put into your practice. One of the most fulfilling aspects of being an Ayurvedic doctor is the ability to transform lives. Over the years, I’ve seen countless patients recover from chronic illnesses and improve their quality of life. The gratitude and joy in their eyes are the greatest rewards. Knowing that I’ve made a positive impact on someone’s life is deeply fulfilling. Also read: How I changed from ‘Shy’ to ‘Outspoken’ The Role of an Ayurvedic Doctor As an Ayurvedic doctor, your role goes beyond diagnosing and treating illnesses. You become a guide and mentor to your patients, helping them navigate their health journey. This involves educating them about Ayurveda, guiding them on lifestyle changes, and supporting them through their healing process. Building a strong relationship with your patients is crucial. Listening to their concerns, understanding their needs, and providing personalized care creates a trusting and supportive environment that promotes healing. Establishing a career in Ayurveda has been a rewarding journey. From initially doubting my fit in consultations to leading a successful team of practitioners, I’ve learned the true potential of Ayurveda and the impact it can have on people’s lives.

Kapha Time is Here! Ayurveda’s Secrets for Staying Balanced

Changing seasons can have an effect on your Doshas. That’s why it is important to understand your Dosha imbalances with each season and find the best practices that would help you to adapt and be in good health despite the changes. Kapha season usually refers to late winter and spring. The season is typically cold, damp and stagnant. Known as Shishira Ritu in Ayurveda, this is the season where Kapha Dosha gains dominance and your Agni (digestive fire) is at its peak. Identifying Kapha Kapha people are most likely to have a compact big-boned structure. They have deep-set eyes and strong hair, and tend to gain weight. Excessive Dosha can manifest as chest and lung or nasal congestions. It can also cause digestive problems due to a sluggish gut. Emotional factors might create overeating & end up in gaining weight. Kapha’s imbalance is also associated with sadness and emotional turbulence. It tends to favour a lethargic sedentary lifestyle. Individuals who have heightened the Dosha are likely to suffer from diabetes, gallstones, hypertension, varicose veins and oedema. Symptoms of Kapha imbalance A Kapha imbalance is usually marked by the following symptoms: Lethargy Excessive sleepiness Nausea Constipation Indigestion Ayurvedic tips to balance kapha Ayurveda works on the principles of Doshas – Vata, Kapha and Pitta. While each of us has a unique proportion of each of the Doshas, a predominant Dosha tends to increase more quickly than the others. Kapha season tends to bring on the qualities and symptoms of excess stagnation. Its dominance is represented as a heavy sluggish tendency, it is characterized by heaviness and slow gait. An imbalance in this can lead to stubbornness. Trying out new routines or interests can stimulate a lethargic mind. As per Ayurveda, a healthy balance can be restored by following a lifestyle, food regimen, and exercise pattern. A vigorous self-massage with warm organic sesame oil is prescribed to invigorate the stagnant Kapha. Sesame oil abhyanga aids in balancing Kapha Dosha. Kapha season is when the dosha is dominant. It is characterized by slow movements and grounding qualities. Those people who are prone to it must keep their feet warm and protect their chests from cold breezes. Opt for warm food and steer clear of raw food as well as frozen foods and beverages. The consumption of bitter and astringent tastes has lowering effects on it. Waking up before sunrise can also be very beneficial to a Kapha personality. Do not sleep late into the day. An early start can help balance this dosha . A glass of warm water can help activate your bowels and cleanse your body as a persons tend to suffer from constipation. Clearing of the nasal passage will provide relief from the symptoms. Ayurvedic tips to welcome the Kapha season Keeping warm is intrinsic to handling the Kapha season. Avoid cold and damp places. Consume warm meals, warm teas, warm water and nuts. Add Tulsi or mint leaves to your tea to stimulate the digestive system. Consumption of warm beverages and sipping hot water throughout the day help in heating and detoxifying. Stay warm. Move out of cold damp spaces and choose warm dry places. Kapha season tends to bring lethargy. It might herald the onslaught of depressive and stagnant thoughts and feelings. Ensure that you engage and rev up your psychological well-being. Another often-noticed fallout of the Kapha season is the lack of energy. It can get exacerbated due to stress and inadequate sleep. Its combat imbalance, therefore, with good sleep hygiene, can significantly improve energy levels Activity is crucial for balancing the dosha. Yoga can help significantly during the Kapha season. You can balance Kapha by combining pranayama with yoga to ensure sufficient circulation and strengthen the respiratory system. Alternate nose breathing works wonders for its imbalance. You can also incorporate Surya Namaskar into your yoga routine. Activate your body during the mornings and evenings with yoga and daily walks. Consume seasonal fruits like oranges, pears and apples. However, avoid very sour fruits. Also, do not consume heavy fruits like coconut, bananas, and dates. Incorporate turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, fennel, and nutmeg as they can help generate heat. These spices will pacify and stimulate the digestive system. Correcting Kapha imbalance Ayurveda can help you manage Kapha imbalance with lifestyle modifications and the right diet. Your diet must neutralize its properties. Since it is light and cool, warm and dry foods can help restore the balance. Foods that are light and spiced can help curtail the tendency to overeat. Heavy foods, on the other hand, tend to burden the system and, consequently, worsen Kapha symptoms. Oily and pungent foods aggravate Kapha. Kapha tends to produce plenty of moist mucus and it is therefore recommended to eat dry foods with minimal ghee or oil. You can include grains, beans and seeds. Ayurveda does not recommend consuming buttermilk and milk products during its season. Kapha is often aggravated by milk products. However, you can consider adding yoghurt or ghee to your diet. The consumption of wheat must be reduced too. Avoid processed foods and refined sugar. Sweets might increase the lethargic feeling. Refined foods have hardly any fibre; therefore, they can aggravate it Ayurvedic Herbs to Combat Kapha Dosha Ayurvedic herbs that can support Kapha include Trikatu, Bibhitaki, and Arjuna. People use bibhitaki, a traditional herb, to treat throat infections and other ailments related to its imbalance. Its anti-oxidant properties relieve stress and improve gastrointestinal functioning. Turmeric has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It works, therefore, as a soothing agent on the digestive system and, in addition, prevents the growth of yeast and bacteria. Ginger provides relief from digestive issues and nausea. It works on diseases such as poor digestion and, furthermore, sinusitis. You can welcome the kapha season with simple lifestyle routines such as slowing… Continue reading Kapha Time is Here! Ayurveda’s Secrets for Staying Balanced

Pseudoscience or Timeless Wisdom? The Truth About Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a pseudoscience! Ayurveda is old and outdated! and Ayurveda is not relevant! As much as I have a huge number of Ayurveda enthusiasts who love my content on Ayurveda, I also come across a few who have the above-mentioned notions. Hence this blog to enlighten you about the relevance of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a 5000-year-old medical science. It is a science and it follows the scientific method of hypothesis, observation and validation. Every older scripture of Ayurveda is validated by newer scriptures and corrections are made with time. For example, Ashtanga Hridaya validates the principles mentioned in Caraka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita which is further validated by Ayurvedic textbooks like Nighantus and Teekas that came later. Ayurveda is individualised Ayurveda is not a “population-based” medicine. It is, in fact, an “individual-based/ individualised medicine.” There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach in Ayurveda. Ayurveda believes that every person is unique. One person’s individual constitution, family history, lifestyle, food habits, thoughts, environment etc. are completely different from another person’s. Hence every human needs individualised medicine and treatment. We may not do randomised control trials on 1000 people and come up with a conclusion that this medicine worked for all 1000, so this will work for 10,00,000 people in the world; we believe that how a disease manifests in one person is completely different for another person. According to modern medicine, a disease is diagnosed merely by numbers – based on a lab report. But does the lab report show details like a person’s sleeping pattern, diet, thoughts, environment at home, office, etc. – all of which might have an impact on their health? In Ayurveda, the diagnosis depends on all of these and many more parameters. Ayurveda beyond the notions There are many notions about Ayurveda, the primary reason being people assuming things from hearsay. They say Ayurveda is a pseudoscience as it doesn’t show instant results. Yes, Ayurveda isn’t about popping a pill for your health condition. It is all about diagnosing your health condition, deeply understanding the circumstances that led to your condition, delving into the root cause and helping you heal through personalised dietary and lifestyle changes, treatments and medicines, if necessary. So, it’s going to take time, but rest assured your condition will not come back haunting you in the long run. However, I do agree that all medical systems exist for a purpose – to alleviate suffering. No medical system is perfect. For example, there is no treatment for Myocardial Infarction or cancer in Ayurveda. For this, modern medicine is the best. But Ayurveda is the best for gastroenterology conditions, arthritis, all kinds of chronic diseases, autoimmune conditions, skin diseases etc. and can remove the disease from the root. Ayurveda is not specialised Ayurveda is a whole system of medicine and is not specific. Ayurvedic doctors treat everything from the common cold to Parkinsonism. We not only treat just one problem but also we treat the whole person from head to toe. Also, Ayurveda is not just about treating humans. An Ayurvedic doctor can treat everything with a body, mind and souland that includes treating animals. So, the next time you say, “stick to your forte,” when I say Sankalpa and Yoga Nidra are deeper than hypnotherapy or use Triphala for oral health or Prachanna is safer, time tested and better than PRP and microneedling, remember, Ayurveda is my forte. And no, Ayurveda is not a pseudoscience. Ayurvedic texts have solutions to almost all health conditions and the best part is there are barely any side effects or aftereffects. Therefore, Ayurveda is very much relevant today as it was 5000 years ago. So, the next time someone tells you Ayurveda is a pseudoscience, show them this blog. When the world is going for super modern, let’s go back and chase our roots!

Women Health Exploration Through Ayurvedic Lenses

Did you know that according to recent statistics, India faces significant health challenges among women? Women’s health is a treasure that must be maintained with the utmost attention. From reproductive issues to mental health concerns, women often bear the brunt of societal pressures and biological complexities. About 30% of women in India experience reproductive health issues and mental health disorders affect around 20% of women. A woman’s body undergoes incredible modifications and variances from the time she reaches adolescence until the life-changing stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. Unfortunately, disrupting this delicate balance can lead to a variety of women’s-specific health difficulties. However, with the support of Ayurveda, women may embark on a path of healing and rejuvenation, regaining their well-being with grace and vitality. Ayurveda shines a ray of hope in a world where stress, the environment, and hormone imbalances may all harm women’s health. The system of medicine recognizes that women need special care as they navigate the tangled web of their lives. Ayurveda provides women with the skills they need to embark on a life-changing journey toward robust health by balancing the Doshas and supporting overall well-being. As an Ayurvedic doctor, I’ll shed light on how Ayurveda can be a game changer for women’s health. So, let’s dive in. Let’s talk about women’s health first! When we discuss women’s health, we recognize that it encompasses various issues at different stages of a woman’s life. Every woman goes through several massive changes over her lifetime. Menarche, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause are vital changes. The uterus, ovary, and breast are the three organs that carry out these physiologic functions. The vagina is another organ that is essential to a woman’s overall health. Female hormones are vital in many physiological and emotional changes, making them equally important factors. Women have unique health challenges, ranging from pregnancy and menopause to gynaecological disorders such as uterine fibroids and pelvic floor abnormalities. Only women are impacted by the following health conditions. While some other ailments afflict males, they affect women more severely. Gynaecological issues affecting women include menstruation and menstrual irregularities, urinary tract health, such as urinary incontinence and pelvic floor disorders, and ailments such as bacterial vaginosis, vaginitis, uterine fibroids, and vulvodynia. Pregnancy-related issues include prenatal care, miscarriage, early birth, preterm labour, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), breastfeeding, and birth challenges. Uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and primary ovarian insufficiency are some of the disorders associated with infertility. An add-on is the societal expectations of a woman centred on her weight and looks, in which she continually stresses herself out to try to achieve the perfect figure, unaware that it indirectly impacts their mental health as well. How does Ayurveda come to the rescue? Ayurvedic beliefs highlight that every woman is unique, and her health is affected by her distinct constitution, or Dosha, which might be Vata, Pitta or Kapha dominant. Menstruation, pregnancy, parenthood, and menopause are all distinct life stages that women will experience over their lives. The ancient method also clarifies the importance of diet, natural medicines, and lifestyle choices. They are created exclusively for a woman’s requirements. These practices also highlighted the value of self-care, stress management, and emotional balance. Hormonal Balance Ayurvedic medicines and treatments assist in managing the hormonal fluctuations that women regularly experience. They treat conditions including premenstrual syndrome (PMS), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), irregular periods, and menopausal symptoms. Fertility and Reproductive Health Ayurveda offers extensive recommendations for increasing fertility and improving reproductive health. It’s accomplished by food recommendations, natural remedies and lifestyle changes. Menstrual Health Ayurvedic medicines for monthly discomfort include particular herbs, warm oil massages, and heat therapies to relieve cramps, bloating, and mood swings. Pregnancy and Postpartum Care Ayurveda encourages a healthy pregnancy and a quick postpartum recovery. It offers advice on a healthy diet, prenatal yoga, herbal medicines, and complementary therapies for the mother and child’s health. Menopausal Support Ayurveda uses herbal supplements, changes in diet, and relaxation techniques to assist people manage menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, nocturnal sweating, mood swings, and insomnia. Ayurvedic Practices for Women’s Health Now, let us look at some ayurvedic techniques that advise for improving women’s health. Abhyanga Abhyanga, the Ayurvedic practice of self-massage, is one of the most beneficial ways for women to care for their minds and bodies. The mild ritual, therefore, consists of applying warm oil to the body. It has several benefits in addition to relaxing. The process also helps to improve blood circulation and calm the nervous system. Abhyanga is particularly effective for women facing discomfort or menopausal symptoms. The therapy also helps to keep the joints lubricated and the skin healthy. Abhyanga promotes a profound connection with one’s body and increases self-awareness daily/anytime you desire some self-care. Yoga and Pranayama Yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) are two of the most effective methods advised by Ayurveda for women’s health. These activities promote body-mind harmony, making them crucial for emotional and physical well-being. Yoga positions, or asanas, can help with common conditions, including menstruation cramps and back discomfort. They increase flexibility, strength, and posture for women of all ages. In contrast, pranayama focuses on breath control. Practising these strategies can be beneficial. They are a great way to relieve tension and relax your thoughts. One can readily adapt these techniques to any age group and can perform them with or without the assistance of an ayurvedic doctor. Herbal Remedies Ayurveda offers a wealth of herbal therapies for addressing typical women’s health concerns. Several herbs give significant health advantages to women. They help promote hormonal balance, making them ideal for menstruation irregularities and menopausal symptoms. Turmeric and ginger are well-known home treatments for digestive and inflammatory disorders. They identify as the root cause of a variety of women’s health issues. Herbal drinks such as chamomile and peppermint might help relieve tension and anxiety. … Continue reading Women Health Exploration Through Ayurvedic Lenses

Ayurvedic practices I would never do as a doctor

Coming from a family of Ayurvedic practitioners, Ayurveda has always been a part of my life. But it took me years and a personal experience to cement my trust in Ayurveda. I’ve diligently followed Ayurvedic practices in every aspect of my life since then. That includes things I have to avoid. Things I won’t do as an Ayurvedic doctor As an Ayurvedic doctor, here are 5 practices I would never do: Waking up late For many years, I have been waking up at 5 am – be it on a regular day, during weekends, or even when I am on vacation. My first consult starts at 6 am every day and I am proud to say my team who assists me in my morning consults are also early risers. Waking up early before sunrise is, in fact, the first Ayurvedic daily routine mentioned in the Samhitas. Additionally, this practice sets a positive tone for the rest of the day. Sleeping after 6 am I don’t do day naps. Like I always say, day napping is not for all. It is a Kapha increasing and Vata decreasing activity. You shouldn’t day nap if you are overweight or obese, consume oily and fatty foods excessively or if you have any Kapha-related conditions like diabetes, PCOS, hypothyroidism, etc. Having cold water/drinks/juices or raw salads Raw salads, cold drinks, cold juices, cold water – all of these are Vata increasing and make digestion sluggish. You cannot live an Ayurvedic life without, therefore, taking care of your Vata! Oiling hair overnight Leaving hair oil overnight is a 100% no-no for me. This may be a “traditional practice” but it is not an Ayurvedic practice. Leaving oil overnight, consequently, increases the mucous and accumulation in the body. Shower after meals As the sun sets, digestion also sets down. Hence if you eat after sunset, chances are you will not be able to digest the food completely leading to Ama- toxic waste build-up in the body. Showering is a cold practice. Digestion needs a warm environment. These two do not go well with each other. I try to take a shower 1 hour before a meal and never after a meal. If I have to, I would, however, do it after the meal has been completely digested. As an Ayurvedic doctor, these are some of the practices I often recommend to my patients to avoid. Following the above-mentioned practices has been helping me lead a healthy life. What are the changes you have brought to your life after you started following me?

Treatment for ulcerative colitis is, therefore, a relief for those people. Years of taking medications to subdue symptoms, enduring pain and struggling with invasive tests like endoscopies and colonoscopies are just the tip of the iceberg. A “normal” life can seem out of reach; consequently, it leaves you with the sinking feeling that this condition is, your lifelong companion.

Why I became an Ayurvedic Doctor?

As a full-time ayurvedic doctor, I pack my days from 6 am to 8 pm. Beyond patient consultations, my responsibilities include team meetings, product and medicine supervision, and creating content about Ayurveda. Despite my busy schedule, I make it a point to remain active on social media. Here’s why. Right Information First and foremost, I believe that the choices we make in life should stem from awareness rather than ignorance. My ultimate goal, dream or vision is to bring global acceptance to Ayurveda. Some individuals write books, some deliver talks, and I create content – it’s as simple as that. Consider this: There’s no money to be made if everyone enjoys good health. The real money lies in selling sickness. The medical, pharmaceutical, and diagnostics industries, consequently, all thrive on this unfortunate reality! The beauty of Ayurveda, unlike other medical systems, is that it not only talks about treating diseases, but also an equally bigger wing – prevention. And let me ask you this: Is there much money to be made from prevention? No, there isn’t. That’s precisely why large corporate companies around the world conduct wellness programs and even have dedicated wellness departments that hold wellness talks and the like to raise awareness about prevention. Even if it looks like the act of engaging employees, the hidden agenda is also to help insurance premiums. It’s a great example – there’s no fortune in wellness, only in illness. Ayurveda, on the other hand, as a system of medicine, beautifully embodies the concept of prevention. Coming back to the financial aspect of sickness, the modern pharmaceutical and diagnostics industries heavily rely on medical professionals and their practices. Trust me when I say that numerous pharmaceutical companies and diagnostic labs reach out to me, asking me to refer their lab tests and medicines for my patients. The perks offered can be quite enticing, in fact, they come with promises of international travel and more. We have all been wired subconsciously by marketing strategies. For instance, let’s talk about the culture of blood tests. Even if you’re dealing with a specific health condition, it’s entirely ethical, therefore, for a doctor to recommend relevant tests. These tests, therefore, aid in accurate diagnosis and, in turn, help plan the most suitable treatment. This is a standard practice and I do it too. That’s doing blood tests for diagnosing diseases. That’s a thing. But what about running blood tests to diagnose health itself? I’m not just talking about blood tests; I’m referring to DNA tests, food intolerance tests, food allergy tests and countless others. Even children as young as 3 or 4 years old undergo such tests – all in the name of diagnosing health. I understand that not everyone may agree with what I’m saying and that’s okay – that’s how marketing has deeply ingrained certain beliefs and preferences within our minds. People love to be comfortable. We’re surrounded by every possible convenience to make our lives comfortable. People prefer to hear what makes them comfortable. They gravitate toward familiar narratives. But when someone presents ideas that challenge their preconceptions, they get uncomfortable. Here is a lot of misinformation or programmed information around. I aim to bring your awareness, therefore, by giving you the right information. Since what I share may differ from what you’re accustomed to hearing, it may make you uncomfortable. But that “uncomfortableness” is even a word, then it will challenge you and make you think. That’s why I exist for you – to offer knowledge about Ayurveda and health that is real, practical and authentic. As I mentioned at the beginning, I firmly believe that the health choices we make should be based on awareness rather than ignorance. And for that very reason, I am here for you! If you are struggling with any health issues, you can either book a consultation with us or send us a message via WhatsApp to +91 79074 89839. We have the best Ayurvedic doctors in Trivandrum who are always glad to help you. If you have any queries, contact us.
