A BAMS-qualified Ayurvedic physician with a specialization in Panchakarma, she has practiced since 2008 and has spent 16 of those years specializing in classical Panchakarma therapies.

Choosing to undergo Panchakarma means placing real trust in the person guiding your treatment. Before committing to a program, it's reasonable to know who that person is: their training, their approach, and how they think about individualized care. This page introduces Dr. Seema Santoshi, who practices at Ayush Panchkarma (Ketav's Ayush Health Paradise) in Palampur, so that prospective patients can make an informed decision before booking a consultation.
Rather than simply listing credentials, this profile focuses on how Dr. Seema's training and experience shape the way she practices, because a qualification on its own doesn't tell a patient much about what to expect during treatment.

Her Approach to Panchakarma
Dr. Seema Santoshi believes that true healing is a personalized journey. Rather than simply suppressing physical symptoms, her approach aims to restore the natural harmony between mind, body and spirit.
Core Philosophy
- Root cause focus: Treatment looks beyond surface-level symptoms. She identifies and works to correct the underlying imbalances in a patient's doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha).
- Individual constitution: Every therapeutic plan is tailored to the patient's unique constitution (Prakriti).
- Patient self-reliance: She empowers patients by removing the fear surrounding illness. Through education, she equips them with the knowledge to actively manage their own long-term wellness.

Personally Supervised Treatment
Ongoing monitoring, not a fixed package. Dr. Seema personally oversees every Panchakarma patient. She stays involved throughout treatment rather than handing the process entirely to therapists after the initial consultation, and she adjusts the protocol if a patient's response calls for it.
Honest guidance about suitability. Not every patient is a good candidate for every Panchakarma therapy. Part of a responsible doctor's role is saying so clearly, including recommending against certain procedures, or referring a patient to conventional medical care first, when appropriate.
What a Consultation With Dr. Seema Santoshi Typically Involves
For patients wondering what to expect before their first visit, an initial consultation generally includes:
- A detailed discussion of current health concerns, medical history and medications
- Assessment of constitutional type and current condition
- A clear explanation of which therapies are being considered and why
- An honest discussion of expected duration, intensity and what daily treatment will feel like
- Space for the patient to ask questions before any commitment is made
Consultations can be held in person, and remote/video consultations are also available for patients planning to travel from elsewhere in India or from abroad.
