Priya Sharma

I am an Ayurvedic physician specializing in chronic inflammatory conditions, with 14 years of clinical practice rooted in the Ashtanga Hridayam tradition. My formal education includes a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) followed by a postgraduate MD in Kayachikitsa—Ayurvedic internal medicine—which provided me with deep training in the management of complex chronic diseases through classical Ayurvedic principles. I am registered with AYUSH, India's regulatory body for traditional medicine systems, and I maintain an active clinical practice in Mumbai where I see patients dealing with arthritis, autoimmune conditions, and other inflammatory disorders. My approach begins with thorough constitutional assessment, or Prakriti analysis, which determines each patient's unique doshic constitution and identifies the specific imbalances driving their condition. I believe that chronic inflammation is rarely a localized phenomenon—it reflects systemic imbalance in agni (digestive fire), accumulation of ama (metabolic toxins), and disruption of the body's natural intelligence. My treatment protocols integrate dietary modifications based on individual constitution, herbal formulations from classical texts, and Panchakarma detoxification therapies when indicated. I have particular expertise in designing individualized Panchakarma programs including Virechana, Basti, and Nasya for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and inflammatory bowel conditions. I am passionate about demonstrating that Ayurveda offers rigorous, systematic approaches to chronic disease that can complement and sometimes reduce the need for immunosuppressive medications. Many of my patients come to me seeking alternatives or adjuncts to conventional anti-inflammatory drugs, and I work collaboratively with their rheumatologists and gastroenterologists to ensure safe, integrated care. Through Rebirthealth, I provide detailed Ayurvedic consultations including constitutional analysis, personalized herbal protocols, dietary guidance, and Panchakarma recommendations for individuals seeking traditional support for inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
