A key element of Dr. Chethana’s practice is her in-depth use of Prakruthi analysis—a core Ayurvedic method that involves identifying an individual's unique mind-body constitution (body type). By understanding a person's physical tendencies, emotional patterns, and behavioural traits, she is able to offer highly personalized care that addresses the root causes of disease rather than just the symptoms.

This individualized approach is especially effective in managing stress-related and lifestyle disorders, chronic pain, and women’s health issues, where psychological and emotional factors often play a significant role. By integrating Prakruthi-based diagnosis with tools from Counselling Psychology, she helps her patients understand how their constitution influences their response to stress, food, environment, and emotional challenges. This empowers them to make lifestyle changes that are in tune with their inherent nature.
