As the demand for holistic healthcare rises day by day, Ayurveda is gradually becoming popular because of its overall treatment methodology for the diseases that are chronic in nature and for overall well-being. The pioneer in this area is Dr. Raghavendra Prasad(B.A.M.S., M.S.(Ayu)) Bangaradka, founder, and medical director of Prasadini Ayurnikethana Ayurveda Hospital, who has been engaged in Ayurveda for over 26 years.
Since its establishment in 2000 in Puttur, Karnataka, the hospital has evolved into an equipped hospital for specialised Ayurvedic treatments and therapies. Till date, Dr. Bangaradka has successfully treated 2 lakhs of patients through his classical approach to the treatment of disease.
The aim of Dr. Bangaradka was always to prove that true Ayurveda had an important part to play in the treatment of chronic diseases and ensuring that quality healthcare became available to everyone irrespective of their status in society. As a doctor in charge of the hospital, he also holds the position of Assistant Professor in the Department of Shalakya Tantra in KVG Ayurveda Medical College in Sullia.

The main areas of concern in which they excel are Panchakarma, Kriyakalpa Therapies, Ayurvedic Ophthalmology, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson’s disease, Migraine, thyroid disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain, musculoskeletal disorders and lifestyle disorders. All the treatments are done after proper consultation, with the objective being finding out the root cause of the problem.
Dr. Bangaradka has not only practiced medicine but also been instrumental in propagating preventive medicine via community involvement. He has conducted medical camps in rural areas, organized awareness programs and workshops, written newspaper articles on health, and even made radio and television appearances.
