Dr. Maitri Nagar

I grew up in a household where Ayurveda was part of everyday life—not as an alternative system, but as the natural way health was understood and cared for. Food, daily routines, simple remedies, and seasonal awareness shaped ordinary decisions. Ayurveda was never abstract or theoretical for me; it was a living, practical medical tradition.

Drawn early toward medicine, I chose to pursue formal training in Ayurveda and studied it in depth. My academic years were grounded in rigorous study across Ayurveda, yoga, and nutrition, alongside modern anatomy and physiology. While this foundation was important, it was years of sustained clinical work—with people, not textbooks—that truly shaped my judgement, precision, and sense of responsibility as a doctor.

For over fifteen years, my work has centred on consultation-based Ayurvedic medicine across diverse populations in India, the USA, Singapore, Australia, Germany, Canada, the UK, and Sri Lanka. Through this work, my practice has naturally focused on women’s health, paediatric care, autoimmune and lifestyle-related conditions, and chronic pain management. I approach each consultation with careful attention, looking for patterns rather than isolated symptoms, and aiming for clarity rather than excess intervention.

Recommendations are always individualised and may include Ayurvedic medicines, dietary guidance, therapeutic yoga, Panchakarma, or nutrition-informed support—used thoughtfully, not routinely, and always in context.

Alongside clinical practice, I also teach and facilitate workshops for individuals and groups who wish to engage with Ayurveda beyond prescriptions. Teaching has refined my ability to communicate complex clinical ideas clearly and practically, without dilution or oversimplification.

A guiding principle shared by my mentor early in my training continues to shape my work: to approach every consultation with the same attentiveness and seriousness as the first. This has kept my practice grounded, disciplined, and continuously evolving.

Ayurveda informs not only how I work, but how I live—as a clinician, a parent, and a lifelong student. When practised with depth, responsibility, and respect for the individual, it remains a precise and powerful system of medicine.
