Dr. Saini works at the intersection of classical Rasashastra — the study of medicinal minerals and metals — and modern pharmaceutical standardisation. His practice is built on evidence-informed Ayurveda: honouring traditional formulation methods while being transparent about what each preparation is for, and where its limits are. He consults, writes, and develops formulations in both English and Hindi.
