I am working in Ayurveda since 5+ years now, and what really drives me is figuring out how to make healing actually work for the person in front of me — not just treating their symptoms n moving on. Most people come in with gut issues at first — acidity, gas, constipation, stuff like that. But once you start listening close, there’s usually more behind it... doshic imbalances, wrong diet over yrs, even stress patterns. I usually start with their prakriti (constitution) and current complaints, and then map a treatment plan from there — herbs, some diet correction, maybe mild Panchakarma, depends. I don't repeat same formula for every case. I try to keep things practical too… like no overly fancy routines that they won’t follow anyway. Some cases take time. But I’ve seen even chronic bloating or GERD improve when you look at food habits and gut fire (agni) closely enough. I follow classical texts a lot but also read up on newer research when I can — sometimes it helps connect things better. And I never just hand over meds n rush — I want them to get it, to know why we’re doing what we’re doing. That awareness matters. My aim is not just short-term relief but to guide them back to some lasting kind of balance, if that makes sense. And yeah, I do mess up sometimes with too much detail or wrong timing — but then I adjust. It's a process, and every patient's story sort of shapes the way I grow in this field too.
