Wellness Experts at Vana

AJIT SING YADAV

Through Naadi (Ayurvedic pulse) one can determine the dosha prakruti (body constitution), dosha vikruti (imbalances) in each organ and its effects on the dhatus (tissues), manas (mind) and sukshmasharir (metaphysical body). 

As a Naadi Vaidya, Dr Ajit is able to translate the information he derives through a simple touch at the wrist to diagnose and analyse the prevailing and probable wellbeing concerns which may manifest in an individual. At Vana, a Naadi Pareeksha forms an inevitable part of the journey of a Vanavasi who seeks to explore deeper dimensions of wellbeing. Dr Ajit has over two decades of experience in his field and has treated disorders and illnesses like diabetes, renal disorders, joint disorders and chronic headaches.
