A clinic for
Ayurvedic medicine.

A doctor-led Ayurvedic clinic in Hyderabad. Nāḍī parīkṣā at the start. A written prescription and diet plan at the end. Classical Panchakarma in the middle, when the condition calls for it.

§ 01 · About

A doctor-led clinic. Three commitments.

A doctor-led Ayurvedic clinic in Addagutta, Kukatpally — for everything from a single follow-up consultation to a multi-week Panchakarma course. Our work rests on three things we do not negotiate.

  1. i.

    Nāḍī Parīkṣā and a careful conversation.

    Every patient is evaluated through pulse reading, a structured history, and contemporary investigations where relevant — so the treatment plan is built around the person, not the diagnosis alone.

  2. ii.

    A full Ayurvedic pharmacy on site.

    Our pharmacy stocks the full range of classical Ayurvedic medicines — kaṣāyam, cūrṇam, guṭikā, taila, ghṛta, leha, āsava-ariṣṭa, and rasa formulations. Walk-ins are welcome — bring a prescription from any registered Ayurvedic physician, or ask for what you need.

  3. iii.

    End-to-end accountability.

    From the first consultation through every Panchakarma session, the doctor's plan, the therapist's protocol, and the dispensed medicines are part of one continuous record. Reminders, follow-ups, and post-therapy review are part of every package.

§ 03 · Method

How a case is run.

Every consultation begins at the pulse and ends with a written plan you can act on. Panchakarma, when indicated, is staged in three classical phases. Diet and lifestyle are not afterthoughts — they are part of every prescription.

  1. 01

    Nāḍī Parīkṣā & history

    The consultation opens at the pulse. Combined with a structured history, current complaints, and prior investigations, it sets the prakṛti (constitution) and vikṛti (current imbalance) of the case.

    Typically — 45 min

  2. 02

    Diagnosis · two lenses

    Each case is recorded in both Ayurvedic terms (doṣa involvement, samprāpti) and modern clinical terms — so the plan stays coordinated with any other physician you are seeing.

    Recorded — T+0

  3. 03

    Treatment in phases

    Panchakarma and longer plans are staged: pūrvakarma (preparation), pradhānakarma (main procedure), paścātkarma (rejuvenation & diet). Each phase has its own protocol, medicines, and pace.

    Course — 5 / 14 / 21 d

  4. 04

    Diet & lifestyle

    No prescription is complete without dietary direction. Every visit ends with a written plan calibrated to your prakṛti — what to eat, what to avoid, daily routine (dinacharya), seasonal regimen (ṛtucharya).

    Delivered — in writing

  5. 05

    Records & reminders

    Every visit, every report, every dispensed medicine is held against your record. WhatsApp reminders for appointments, follow-ups, and refills. By visit three the doctor already knows your trajectory — you don't have to re-explain.

    Ongoing — visit-to-visit

A two-minute self-assessment

Which way does your constitution lean?

In Ayurveda, your prakṛti — the balance of vāta, pitta and kapha you were born with — shapes how you digest, sleep, think, and fall ill. Answer twelve honest questions for a first reading of yours.

Take the prakṛti self-test

A simplified guide, not a diagnosis. A true reading is made by the physician through nāḍī parīkṣā.

I am truly grateful to Dr. Darshana for her care and guidance throughout my endometriosis treatment and pregnancy journey. From the very first consultation, she listened patiently, explained everything clearly, and gave me confidence at every stage. Managing endometriosis while planning and going through pregnancy can feel overwhelming, but her calm approach, timely advice, and continuous support made the journey much smoother for me. My pregnancy care experience with her was very reassuring. She was approachable, practical, and genuinely caring, which helped me feel safe and supported throughout. I deeply appreciate her role in helping me through this important phase of my life. Thank you, Dr. Darshana, for your dedication, patience, and compassionate care. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful and trustworthy pregnancy care and endometriosis consultation.
★★★★★
I approached Dr. Darshana through online consultation regarding fertility treatment and later met her personally for Nadi Pariksha. As I had already undergone several fertility treatments over the years without any success, I was looking for a different approach. After consulting Dr. Darshana, she suggested Panchakarma treatment for both me and my husband. Within a couple of months, we conceived naturally. We were extremely happy and continued our pregnancy journey under her guidance with medications, diet, and yoga recommendations. Finally, we were blessed with a healthy baby girl. I highly recommend Dr. Darshana to anyone planning for children or seeking fertility treatment. Her treatment is reasonably priced, she provides excellent support, and emphasizes a healthy lifestyle. She is also available whenever needed and responds promptly during urgent situations through online consultation. I am truly thankful to Dr. Darshana for her care and support throughout our journey. It has been a wonderful experience for both our physical and emotional well-being. — Swapna
★★★★★
We (my entire family) had a wonderful experience under the care of Dr. Darshana Reddy (Nadi Vaidya). The doctor is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. She took the time to listen to our concerns and explained the treatment clearly, which made us feel very comfortable and confident. My mother had been suffering from polyarthritis and severe knee pains. We approached Dr. Darshana for guidance, and I personally attended most of the consultations along with several of my family members. One thing that impressed us greatly was the accuracy of the Nadi Pareeksha. The observations were remarkably correct for each family member, which gave us a lot of confidence to proceed with the treatment as prescribed by madam. The clinic is clean, well-maintained, and has a very calm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are polite, helpful, and well-organized, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish. Over time, I referred many of my family members for consultation, and we have all benefited in various ailments through the treatment and guidance provided. I truly appreciate the professionalism, compassionate care, and attention given to every patient. I highly recommend Dr. Darshana Reddy to anyone looking for holistic and quality healthcare.

§ 08 · Questions

Frequently asked.

The questions patients most often ask before their first visit. If yours isn't here, write or call — we'll answer the same day.

How long does a Panchakarma course last?

Anywhere from 5 days for a focused cleanse to 21–28 days for a complete Śodhana–Rasāyana programme. Your doctor will recommend a duration after the initial consultation, based on your constitution and the condition being treated.

Do I need to stay in or be admitted for Panchakarma?

No. All our Panchakarma is outpatient — patients come for daily sessions and return home. Some procedures (e.g. Vamana) involve a longer in-clinic day; the doctor will brief you in advance.

Are your medicines safe alongside my regular medication?

In most cases, yes. Bring all your current prescriptions to the first visit; the doctor will review for interactions and design the plan accordingly. We also coordinate with your existing physicians when needed.

Is Ayurveda safe in pregnancy?

Many supportive Ayurvedic therapies are safe and beneficial during pregnancy; some procedures (cleansing therapies, certain medicines) are contraindicated. Please mention your pregnancy at booking so the doctor can plan appropriately.

Do you treat children?

Yes. We see children for digestive complaints, skin conditions, recurrent infections, and developmental concerns. Several therapies have child-friendly variants — SABS Child, SSPS Child, Mātra Basti Child.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes for follow-ups and reviews. New consultations are best with an appointment so we can give you the full time you need.

Are bills generated for insurance / reimbursement?

Yes — printed receipts and itemised invoices are available on request for both consultations and Panchakarma packages.

Where is the clinic located in Hyderabad?

Darshana Ayurveda is at Flat No. 201, Above AXIS Bank, Addagutta, Kukatpally, Hyderabad 500090. Call +91 85220 58811 for directions or to book.
