I love and recommend Ayurvedic healing ‍ i have been using their services and products for years now.

I had the experience of visiting Dr. Suhas in Dec of 2021 to treat inflammation and weight problems, which were chronic conditions for me that caused pain, low energy, and limiting mobility. Ayurvedic Healing was new to me, but I practiced the guidance offered without finding it difficult or overly restrictive, and grew open to learning about the mind-body approach to healing. Dr. Suhas was a patient teacher and guide, and I took to the program with relative ease. I saw results immediately, and I hit my target weight goals within 6 months, losing 35 lbs in that period. Yoga, meditation, simple walking/hiking, and changing my orientation to food with mindful eating yielded profound results. It was not difficult to do. Over the next year I lost another 10lbs and now weigh what I weighed my last year in college. I haven't seen that weight at any other time in my adult life. Ultimately, my visit to Dr. Suhas was a life-changing event, though I was skeptical at age 65 that I could achieve such dramatic improvements. It's approaching 3 years of practicing an Ayurvedic lifestyle. I have know doubt that I've left bad health habits, poor diet, and mysterious health challenges behind. I feel such things are no longer a part of my life. I could not recommend Dr. Suhas in stronger terms. His approach, the Ayurvedic program, works - in my case, dramatically. slhicks Oakland,CA read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar since August 2019. I am currently a patient (Jan 2023). I was HIGHLY skeptical of Ayurveda, or rather didn't know what it was, and only went on the recommendation of a friend. I didn't think I needed to go; I was strong and "just fine" - at 209 pounds and 5'4 after the end of an 18-year marriage. I was actually trying to heal myself, but I didn't know quite what to do, I couldn't "see" how out of whack I was. After the first few minutes with "Dr. Suhas" I was beyond intrigued by his knowledge, proposed plan of treatment and genuine deep concern for me; unlike any doctor I've ever met. That, I picked up on immediately. In the few years that I have been with Dr. Suhas, he has expertly guided me, with great aplomb, step-by-step, explaining and answering my numerous questions, with respect and complete investment in my healing. Dr. Suhas has a commandeering understanding of human physiology, and is a PERFECT blend of East and West, bar none. In addition, his understanding of the Jyotish astrology has been goosebumpingly' accurate. Before, I thought astrology was an utter joke, for dumb people. It's not the caricature often depicted by much of Western astrology in silly newspapers. It's like gravity, whether you "get it or not", it has an impact on you. It's a tool, so be informed. His understanding of astrology is SPOT ON and helpful in navigating my goals and dreams. I was/have been in a plateau for over a year, and he helped me to understand EXACTLY why I was/am stuck. This is the work for 2023... At the end of 2019, 3 months after I met him, I did panchakarma for a week -- it was utterly healing; the lifesaving "reset" that I so desperately needed. On the other hand, my older brother, an attorney, who began working with him 6 months after me, was never recommended to do panchakarma, and neither were at least 5 friends that have also gone. So, I strongly refute one review that I read saying that the man is money hungry; I have found the opposite to be the case. Every single recommendation that I have followed has yielded demonstrable results - that's what I require. The ones I didn't follow - I got Butkus! When I finally implemented the recommendations - results followed. Their skin care protocol is unmatched. My skin literally glows -- from the inside out. SKIN. That's just one area of their Ayurvedic prowess. I literally have a new body, life full of energy and much better health. Mentally it's also been a Game Changer. I had lost weight before, and put it all back on plus interest -- and dividends. Never again. Dr. Suhas has literally helped me to "turn back time." When I got discouraged, I always knew he was there to support me. I learned more and more, and must have driven the poor guy insane with my host of questions, and piles of books that I'd read in between visits. I now know more, with his help, about my body -- inside and out, nutrition, etc. I'd like to note that I am a deep researcher by nature, and after my friend's asking me to go, I compared every ayurvedic doctor in the SF Bay Area, Northern and Southern California. I chose him. I am beyond grateful for having crossed paths with Dr. Suhas. Of note, Dr. Manisha and Dr. Manas are expert doctors as I've had the opportunity to work with them, too. What a team! I will ride out the rest of my life on my terms, with intention and power. Just watch me! Lastly, I've included photos of my health journey in my review, because many people write "good reviews" for their friends that are not authentic. That is not in my nature, and you couldn't pay me to do such a thing. I regularly hike 20 miles, on the mountain for 10+ hours, climbing from sea level to 3,000 feet, easy peasy. I've got my eyes and heart set on some mountains in Uttarakhand - thanks to Dr. Suhas and Ayurvedic Healing - I know I can climb those, too. Here are receipts for your review with dates since Yelp got them all out of chronological order. RUN, do not walk to this gifted, loving, and caring healer. The Real McCoy. It read more

Dr. Suhas has given me hope again with my health and quality of life. He takes social care and time with me and I feel he truly cares about me. I was sick with a Grave's diagnosis with no answers from western doctors. I highly recommend his clinic for any health issue, you're in good hands! read more

I would highly recommend Ayurvedic Healing to anyone who is experiencing any type of health issue. Dr. Suhas is a world renowned Ayurvedic physician and is the author of several books. I had a condition on my scalp which caused a scar the size of a walnut. I had two Dermatologists look at my scalp and they prescribed a long course of antibiotics which did not resolve the condition. I then made an appointment with Dr. Suhas and he correctly diagnosed the condition as an autoimmune disorder that was caused from chronic severe stress that created a lot of inflammation in my scalp. He put me on an anti inflammatory diet and an exercise routine along with some herbal treatments and within a month the autoimmune condition that caused my skin to attack itself was resolved. Dr. Suhas has literally changed my life. He is a true healer. I have been a patient of his for several years now after my brother referred me to him. The changes in my diet, exercise, sleep and other areas have vastly improved my quality of life. I wish I had seen him years earlier. The Ayurvedic Healing clinic that he operates in Santa Cruz California is a very calm and relaxing facility that offers a variety of treatments which include massage and Panchakarma. Panachakarma is a series of body treatments that cleanse and detox the the body. I had Panchakarma and my body felt lighter, more energetic and rejuvenated. I do the treatment every year. If you or someone you know is experiencing any type of health issue, I strongly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Suhas. He will change your life! read more

I wonder how many people know they have two of the best Ayurvedic doctors in the world near them? I recommend friends from all around the world though because they can see the doctors here on FaceTime or phone. I've been going here for a few years to treat autoimmune ankylosing spondylitis. Which can be incredibly painful and complicated with skin rashes and things. I am doing so great. The western docs are even curious about what I'm doing because my x-rays I shouldn't be able to move my shoulder and I have complete full range of motion. When I do the seven day panchakarma every year I get out of pain completely. I wish more people with inflammation knew that they could feel this healthy. You have to eat right and take the herbs alongside but the panchakarma is crucial. read more

Dr. Suhas and Dr. Manisha are smart, intuitive and wonderful doctors to work with. I completed a 5 day Panchakarma cleanse this fall and had a great experience. Highly recommend. read more

I was recommended to dr. Suhas from a friend and saw him over a year ago to read my Vedic chart and give me a Ayurvedic consult. Dr. Suhas acted as a mirror, he told me things other people and myself weren't able to say to my face and because of this awakening of sorts, here I am today a year later, living my dream and my best life. My experience seems to differ from other reviews, my health was fine, it was more of an emotional tune up that was prescribed and just like other modalities of alternative medicine, if you are open in your heart to explore possibilities, then the right practitioners will come your way. Thanks dr. Suhas for seeing in me what I couldn't see in myself at the time ! I also loved Dr. Manishas book ! It's right in line with the business I started and gave me great inspiration! These two are gems of Ayurvedic community in Santa Cruz! read more

Ayurvedic Healing's 5 day Panchakarma greatly helped me through a cross roads in my life. It was the perfect time for some deep self care and inner reflective work. The combination of the 2 hour incredible body treatments and follow up meetings with Dr. Suhas, Dr. Manisha, and Manas each day left me feeling rejuvenated and healthy in my mind and body. Their location in Santa Cruz is the perfect spot to get out in nature while exloring the forests and ocean. Lots of good, local healthy food as well. It was a great reset for me and I am excited to move forward with my life. Many thanks and blessings to Dr. Suhas and his wonderful team. read more

I want to thank Dr. Manisha, Dr. Suhas and their excellent practitioners for giving me my life back. I had so many physical problems since giving birth the to my second child 9 years ago, even though I meditate, exercise, do yoga, eat extremely clean and have a pretty calm lifestyle. I've seen every type of healer/doctor I could think of (homeopath, herbalist, naturopath, many western medical specialists, chiropractic, acupuncturist...) Some of them helped, some help more than others and are a part of my normal self-care routine. Last year after getting Epstein -Barr I finally made an appt. with Dr. Suhas. My pancha karma at Ayurvedic Healing left me feeling energized l, solved so much in my body, and mentally much happier. It was the missing link. I plan to do this every year. If you can afford it, I highly recommend doing it. It has been several months now and I still feel great. read more

I had no experience with Ayurveda before my initial visit. I researched providers in Northern California and looked for the most experienced and recommended. met with Dr. Suhas and Dr. Manisha for a consultation that was insightful, personal, and very detailed. I have had several chronic health issues following cancer diagnosis and treatment, and despite Western and Chinese medicine interventions, I was growing weary of pain, inflammation, and other issues. I scheduled a 5 day Panchakarma treatment for a month after my initial visit. They provided me with dietary and lifestyle guidance and several herbal formulations in preparation for PK treatment. I followed them as closely as I could for a month, felt some improvement in my symptoms, and lost an initial 5 lbs before starting PK. The treatments themselves were relaxing and very detoxifying and healing on physical, emotional, and mental levels. I met daily with either Dr. Suhas, Dr. Manisha, or Dr. Manas. By the fifth and final day, I was in a very grounded, focused mental state, and my primary physical complaint - chronic hip pain following chemotherapy - was relieved. I had lost another couple of pounds as well, which was not a primary goal but was welcome and helpful in support of my overall health. I plan to continue on an Ayurvedic path as it has been a profoundly healing experience so far. I highly recommend the doctors and services at Ayurvedic Healing for both the committed and the curious. read more

The Vital Liver and Vital Weight has been a life changer for me. I started feeling great immediately and my digestive tracks have never felt this good. The combination of these two supplements work amazingly and is very soothing and gentle to the digestive system. I don't feel bloated and my stomach hasn't been this flat in a long time! And I have lost about 10 pounds. I have never felt this good losing weight- read more

I spent a wonderful week at the Ayurvedic Center under the care of Dr. Suhas, Dr. Manisha and Dr. Manas. It was an incredibly therapeutic and healing experience. The treatments were performed by professionals who were very kind and experienced. Each day built on the previous one which culminated in my body feeling blissful by week's end. The lunch prepared each day was delicious. I am in awe of the expertise of the three doctors and feel blessed that I chose to come here for my retreat. read more

I met Drs. Suhas and Manesha a couple years ago at a presentation for The Hot Belly Diet before I ever thought I would attempt to live Ayurvedically. I thought it was all so complicated and required too much work and I was too busy. My list of excuses was long.Ha! Then I started developing health concerns and found myself on medications I would need to be on for life, told eventually I'd need surgery to remove my thyroid. Allergies, gluten sensitivity, thyroid, hormonal issues, exhaustion. I did not want to buy into the idea that these concerns were just part of aging, and decided to follow The Hot Belly Diet. I had no desire to lose weight, but I wanted to feel better and shake the exhaustion and caffeine addiction (Peet's black ties on the daily after a morning latte). After one month of The Hot Belly Diet and feeling worlds better without any gimmicks, supplements, or fancy powder shakes I went to see the Dr.s. because it was working and I began to trust in the process of ayurveda. The visit was profound and what they shared made sense to me about how I could change the trajectory of my health. For those unaware of ayurveda, it is a full life science, so treatment is not "take these and call me in a week". It is more intentional and involved on the part of the patient. You discuss your diet, exercise, sleep, relationships, work, spiritual practice and more. There is no stone un-turned and it helps if you are willing to be completely honest throughout to allow for healing. You need to be willing to change things about your life. It is not magical, it is science and extremely nurturing. I did a five day panchakarma in September and have been amazed ever since. It has now been three months since our first meeting. My health is transformed. I'm not only off the medication I was told would be for life, I no longer crave sugars or caffeine, I no longer suffer allergies, I sleep great, my diet is amazing. My energy is stable, my concentration keen, my diet/exercise/spiritual practice shifted. I feel more connected, aware, and intentional in my body. I feel Dr.s Suhas and Manesha guided my process of understanding how best to care for myself and heal my body through counseling, treatment, some supplements and follow up. Their office space is beautiful, the staff professional and appointment making easy. Parking is a snap. read more

I've had an amazing experience working with Dr. Suhas and Dr. Manisha. I've found both of them really compassionate and knowledgeable about my symptoms- a rarity for me and very relieving. I just completed a 7 day panchakarma (my first!) and it was really powerful. I feel that my nervous system has been reset and much healthier and more energized. I am planning to do panchakarma annually because of how effective it seems. I highly recommend Ayurvedic Healing! read more

Dr Suhas and Dr Manisha are true experts in the field of Ayurveda. I initially consulted with Dr Suhas for a vedic astrology reading and found his insights to be right on point. I had been wanting to do panchakarma for some time and after my initial consult I knew this would be a great place to have the experience. I just finished a 6 day treatment and stayed on site at Ayurvedic Healing. My PK experience was a deep immersion into a peaceful state which brought me a lot of clarity and mindfulness in areas of my life I was struggling. The technicians are so wonderful and attentive and the daily treatments are so deeply nourishing to the mind and body. During the duration of your stay the doctors are consistently checking in with you to monitor your progress. Dr Suhas and Dr Manisha do a great job at addressing healing at the level of mind, body and spirit and provide practical tools to address mental and spiritual blocks. I highly recommend consulting with Dr Suhas and Dr Manisha to all who are ready to take their evolution to the next level. The future of healthcare is self-care and Ayurvedic Healing has created a truly integrative approach rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom to make the path clear for those who are seeking healing and personal transformation. read more

My father and I both completed a 5 day Panchakarma at Ayurvedic Healing and both left feeling better than we had in years. We were able to experience many of the Panchakarma benefits within this timeframe, although if you can do a longer treatment up to 7 days I would highly recommend that as well. The knowledge, specialties, treatment and genuine care of the entire Ayurvedic Healing family and staff was exceptional and provided me with much insight on my continued and constant path to self healing and understanding. The 1-2 month prep and the treatments and the post prep was exactly the kickstart to new habits and a much needed reset / cleanse that both my father and I needed because we were in a bit of a rut. Overall, I feel like a Porsche that just got a really fine tune up and oil change ;) and I look forward to continuing Panchakarma throughout the rest of my life. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Suhas is a trained Ayurvedic Physician from India. He was able to treat some of my digestive and dermatological issues with a reasonable degree of success. However... 1. He gives you naturopathic medicines from Douglass Labs. Note that he is NOT a trained Naturopathic physician. 2. His mark up on the 'medicines' or herbal preparations is anywhere from 70-30% on top of the retail price! This is pretty hefty given his consultation itself runs into 100s of dollars. 3. I have noticed that you can get so used to his meds that without them, you won't feel great. 4. He will try to sell you some tonics that you may never really need. My advice to him is to keep practicing good medicine at a reasonable price Aar read more

Outstanding treatment facility. Dr. Suhas, Dr. Manisha and Manas S. Kshirsagar are very knowledgable, wise, and caring about crafting the best possible treatment to optimize your living your life. Also, the treatments are deeply healing and the technicians that administer them are amazing healers that clearly love their work. I highly recommend Ayurvedic Healing Center to anyone that's interested in improving their health. read more

I started seeing Dr. Kshirsagar in the Fall of 2012. I had seen many Indian Vaidyas before for various ailments, and my experience had varied from reasonably satisfied to disappointed. That said, when I visited Dr. Kshirsagar I was, for the first time in my life (fortunately), at 39 years of age, very unhealthy: weak, low energy, poor digestion and sleep, prone to anger easily. Very uncomfortable and feeling that since these symptoms were only growing worse after 3-5 years, that left unchecked I would eventually have some serious disease. Dr. Kshirsagar took a great deal of time with me and saved my health and life. So often with ' alternative medicine' ie non-Western medicine, the approach seems to be one of dabbling: a little of this a little that, a little herb here, a little massage there. Dr. Kshirsagar set up a comprehensive plan for me, with dietary, herbal, and activity recommendations. Now almost 3-years later I feel the strongest and best I've felt since I was 20 years old. It hasn't been easy in the Western sense; no cure all pill, but rather disciplined focus on a specific dietary, herbal, and activity/physical routine. But it's worked, and addressed the root cause of the problem and not just covered up the symptoms. It cost a couple-three hundred per visit, including herbs, and I had probably 6 visits my first year, 3 my second, and my third. Not dirt cheap, but not particularly pricey compared to Western (or even other holistic modalities: dabbling here and there I've spent far more than that over the years and never had a comprehensive plan that work). I will say this: go to an Ayurvedic doctor if you have researched Ayurveda and believe it to be a good system. Also, if you've already been diagnosed by Western medicine with something serious that Western medicine is geared to treat, or if you think you have such a thing, go see a Western doctor. For sure they'll find something wrong and will have a prescription. But if you're looking for a different, more comprehensive, shift in lifestyle approach that might take a little time (incidentally I started feeling better within days of my first visit, and continued to feel better at a steady rate until I reached what I determined to be 'very healthy' level. Now it's about maintenance and to a certain degree improvement; we can always feel better), Dr. Kshirsagar is not only a great Indian Vaidya/Doctor, but a very knowledgable and experiences overall health practitioner as well. read more

I have met with Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar numerous times while trying to diagnose and treat a chronic illness. After his star-chart (yes--I am desparate enough I was willing to set aside all initial judgments) predictions didn't come true, he declared that all of the symptoms are in my head. Having since visited the Mayo Clinic, I've been diagnosed with numerous chronic infections, etc. He not only charged about $300 per visit, but gave me advice that ony worsened my illness. Furthermore, unlike many naturopathic doctors, he did not run any sort of diagnostic tests beyond looking into my birth charts. A huge disappointment. Even though other naturalistic and eastern doctors may cost more, PLEASE take my advice for the sake of your health and just pay the extra money so that you will actually be treated. read more
