Avoid This Meta Mistake: Why Ayurvedic Doctors Should Not Create a Second Facebook Account for Their Clinic

A Costly Mistake Many Ayurvedic Doctors Make

In the journey of taking your Ayurvedic practice online, Facebook and Instagram are powerful tools for visibility, trust-building, and patient engagement. However, a silent mistake is costing many Ayurvedic clinics their entire digital growth potential:

Creating a separate Facebook account for their business.

If you’ve ever thought, “Let me keep my personal account separate and open a new one just for the clinic,”—you’re unknowingly violating Facebook’s policies.

❌ Why Creating a Business Account on Facebook is Against Meta’s Rules

Facebook (Meta) allows only one personal account per person. Creating another account—even with your clinic’s name like “Healing Touch Ayurveda” or “Dr. Panchakarma Centre”—is against their terms.

📌 Direct from Meta’s Policy:

“We don’t allow people to maintain more than one personal account.”

This means:

You must not create a second account for your clinic.
You must create a Facebook Page under your personal profile to represent your Ayurveda business.

Violating this policy can result in:

Permanent ad account bans
Loss of access to Meta Business Suite
Inability to run WhatsApp Business Ads
Sudden disabling of accounts with no warning

✅ The Correct Way to Set Up Your Ayurvedic Clinic on Facebook

Here’s the ethical and policy-compliant structure every Ayurvedic doctor should follow:

1. Use a Genuine Personal Facebook Profile in Your Real Name

This acts as your digital identity.
It should match your official documents for future verification.

2. Create a Facebook Page for Your Clinic or Brand

Name examples: “Sarathy Ayurveda Clinic,” “Dr. Meera’s Panchakarma Centre”
This is your professional space to share treatments, testimonials, Reels, and offers.

3. Connect Your Page to Meta Business Suite & Ads Manager

This allows you to:
- Run targeted Meta ads for your clinic
- Link your Instagram business account
- Automate messages via WhatsApp Business API
- Monitor analytics, ad performance, and leads

✅ Real-World Case: What Happens If You Violate Meta Policy?

Dr. Anil, an experienced Vaidya from Kerala, created a second Facebook account named “Anil Ayurveda Hospital” and used it to run ads.

After 3 months, Facebook disabled the account. He lost all ad history, access to Business Manager, and his Instagram link. Rebuilding everything cost him time, money, and trust.

Don’t let this happen to you.

🎯 Why This Matters for Your Digital Ayurveda Journey

Your Ayurveda practice deserves long-term growth. Aligning with Meta’s guidelines is just like following Ayurvedic principles: balance, clarity, and sustainability.

Shortcuts like duplicate accounts may offer initial convenience—but they are not sustainable.

✅ Conclusion: Choose Ethical Digital Growth

If you’re serious about growing your Ayurvedic brand online, set your foundation right:

🔹 One real Facebook profile in your name
🔹 Create a Page for your business
🔹 Use Meta Business tools to run ads, not shortcuts

Stay aligned. Stay visible. Stay compliant.
