Dr Vishal Sharma is an Ayurveda Doctor based in Sydney, Australia. He comes from Himachal Pradesh where all the
Ayurvedic Herbs come from – at the head of the Himalayas. While he was a young boy, Dr Sharma was struck by the
remarkable recovery through Ayurveda of one of his beloved uncles. The uncle had a car accident and was in a
coma in the hospital on life support. After some months, he was not much better and unable to walk, speak etc.
Yet with the Ayurvedic Treatments he received, his uncle was back to normal after a few months and nowadays, as
a middle-aged man, able to go running as exercise, talk and live normally. So, Dr Sharma resolved to study
Ayurveda and become an Ayurvedic Doctor after his six years’ study at University.

Dr Sharma (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery, R.G.U.H.S), an accredited Ayurvedic practitioner with
The Australasian Association of Ayurveda (AAA), Member of International Academy of Ayurved & Member of

worked in various hospitals and Panchakarma centres to sharpen his skills. He also worked as an Emergency
Medical Officer for three years at Mukat Hospital + Heart Institute, Chandigarh.

Dr Sharma says “Working in Emergency made me feel even more Passionate about Prevention of diseases by adopting
Natural Medicine/Holistic Healing. Ayurveda is about Preventing Disease and Maintaining Good Health without any
adverse effects. To quote Dr Sharma, “Man is ill because he is never still”. In today’s world, we work hard but
never put emphasis on looking after our Health or question ourselves as to “How to keep ourselves Healthy and
Rejuvenated?”

Dr Sharma also worked as an Ayurvedic Physician in one of the renowned Ayurvedic centres in Sydney named as
Ayurvedic Wellness Centre, Bondi Junction for five years. This enabled him to develop more skills and expertise

diagnosis. Working as an Ayurvedic practitioner he offers in-depth consultations, prescribing Ayurvedic
treatments per client needs. During the process of diagnosing he incorporates a variety of observation
techniques including pulse diagnosis, Tongue analysis, assessment of Diet & Lifestyle with detailed history
taking.

Ayurveda is an Ancient Wisdom of Holistic healing & Prevention dating back well over 6000 years. At the
Nature Care Ayurveda Yoga Detox & Panchakarma Centre, our philosophy is to work on the root cause of the
disease and maintain optimal health. As per WHO (World Health Organization) “Health is a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being, not a mere absence of observable disease or infirmity. Dr Sharma says
“I treat all Chronic Diseases like Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Huntington Disease, Chronic Fatigue, Digestive
disorders such as Crohn’s Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Obesity, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia,
Musculoskeletal disorders including Chronic Back pain, Sciatica, Migraines, Allergies, Sinus, Hair loss etc. I
treat all diseases with Herbs, Life Style Adjustments, Detoxification/ Panchakarma, Yoga and meditation by
“Enhancing the Immunity whilst Rejuvenating the Body”.
