About the doctor
Dr. Raghav Thukral, M.D. (Ayurveda)
Fourth-generation Ayurvedic doctor · Clinical nutritionist · Amritsar
An award-winning Ayurvedic physician and nutritionist, Dr. Thukral consults patients from Amritsar and around the world, helping them manage chronic and lifestyle disorders through personalised nutrition, Ayurveda, food science and yoga.
A living tradition
Four generations of Ayurvedic healing
Dr. Raghav Thukral is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic doctor. He started practising Ayurveda at a very young age alongside his grandparents, absorbing the classical understanding of digestion, constitution and daily routine that his family had practised for generations.
He went on to complete his M.D. in Ayurveda, specialising in food and nutrition, and opened his clinic in Amritsar with a clear mission: to give people real insight into healthy eating and lifestyle habits, and to treat chronic diseases with Ayurvedic principles, food science and yoga.
With a mission to serve human life at the highest possible level, he now consults patients worldwide for personalised nutrition and lifestyle care — including obesity, lipedema, visceral fat, chronic skin disorders, liver cirrhosis, chronic kidney problems, cardiovascular issues, autism-related concerns in children, weight gain, intestinal disorders, hormonal imbalances, muscular and joint pain, diabetes, thyroid issues and other lifestyle disorders.
When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.
He does not believe in strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Instead, he encourages the use of food as medicine within a holistic approach — helping patients lose weight naturally and in a medically sound way, while eating a wide range of foods suited to their age, health and medical conditions.
Philosophy of care
The principles behind every treatment plan
-
Food as medicine
Wisely chosen food can do wonders. Plans use homely, traditional foods — never crash diets, pills or unnecessary supplements.
-
Individual constitution
Every plan follows a Prakriti assessment of your body type, age, medical history and daily routine. There are no pre-defined charts.
-
Root cause, not symptoms
Health conditions are addressed at their source. Healthy weight and energy follow once the underlying imbalance is corrected.
-
A doctor like a friend
“Doctor aisa, dost jaisa” — time, attention and genuine support, as part of your family’s health journey.
