Ayurveda is often spoken of as ancient wisdom. For Dr. Sakshi Rana, it is something far more ordinary. Something that quietly shaped her long before she chose it as a profession. Her journey into Ayurveda did not begin with textbooks or clinics, but with the way life was lived at home: unprocessed food, natural care, and a deep respect for what the body needs to stay balanced.
Dr. Sakshi describes her childhood as simple and traditional. Her mother avoided cosmetic products and shampoos, choosing natural care instead - a practice that continued well into Sakshi’s teenage years.
Her father’s work in horticulture and fruit preservation further strengthened this foundation. Their household relied on whole grains and home-prepared foods, with jams, sauces, and juices made naturally. Processed food, restaurant meals, and packaged snacks were rare. Health was not discussed in clinical terms; it was built into daily habits.
Academically, Dr. Sakshi’s path began far from Ayurveda. She completed her graduation in biotechnology and went on to pursue a master’s degree in medical microbiology. Her training included research work and even DNA sequencing. It was a deeply scientific, laboratory-driven education.
Yet, despite this exposure to modern science, something felt incomplete. While she had always wanted to become a doctor, the choices she made earlier were often circumstantial rather than driven by passion. When she finally reached a point where she could choose freely, she realized that the understanding she was seeking went beyond reports, data, and isolated systems.
Ayurveda did not feel like an alternative path. It felt like the missing chapter.
Dr. Sakshi began her Ayurvedic education in 2017 and completed her BAMS degree in 2023, followed by internship and registration.
Alongside clinical training, she continued to build her skills, completing additional courses in Panchakarma therapies and Ayurvedic dermatology and cosmetology.
Her exposure to both government hospitals and online consultations shaped her approach. She learned to rely not only on observation but on careful listening - especially in virtual settings where visual cues are limited.
One of the defining aspects of Dr. Sakshi’s practice is her emphasis on lifestyle over medication. While she prescribes herbal formulations when needed, she considers them only one part of healing. Her prescriptions often include extensive guidance on diet, digestion, sleep, daily routine, and stress management.
She pays close attention to Anupan, explaining that how a medicine is consumed can significantly influence its effect. Without correcting everyday habits, she believes even the best formulations cannot deliver lasting results.
Dr. Sakshi frequently treats conditions such as thyroid imbalance, PCOS, obesity, digestive disturbances, and skin concerns. She explains to patients that these are rarely isolated issues. Metabolic slowdown, poor digestion, stress, and sedentary routines often form the underlying pattern.
Her approach begins with assessing digestion and metabolism. Drawing from Ayurvedic principles, she focuses on restoring digestive strength (Agni) and immunity (Ojas) so the body can begin to heal itself. Regular follow-ups, she believes, are essential, especially in hormonal disorders where symptoms may temporarily subside but relapse without lifestyle correction.
Aware of modern constraints, Dr. Sakshi avoids recommending rigid routines. Instead, she helps patients adapt Ayurvedic principles to their existing schedules. Simple practices like walking during phone calls, sitting in Vajrasana after meals, choosing warm water over cold drinks, and making small dietary changes - form the core of her advice.
For those with irregular work hours or high travel demands, she emphasizes rest, stress reduction, and mindfulness rather than perfection. In Ayurveda, consistency matters far more than chasing the “perfect” routine - small, repeatable acts of care done daily heal more deeply than rigid practices that can’t be sustained. Ayurveda, in her view, must be realistic to be sustainable.
Outside her clinical role, Dr. Sakshi describes herself as spiritual, optimistic, and service-oriented. A meditator since childhood, she relies on prayer, yoga, and gratitude to maintain balance. She hopes to dedicate part of her future work to spreading health awareness and offering free medical services in rural areas.
For her, Ayurveda is not about quick results or financial success. It is about restoring balance, spreading awareness, and serving people with integrity.
When Dr. Sakshi Rana speaks about Ayurveda, it is with quiet confidence. She does not present it as a cure-all, but as a thoughtful, lived science - one that listens to the body before attempting to change it.
