I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with specialized expertise in Shalakya Tantra, focusing on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the Netra (eyes), Karna (ears), Nasa (nose), Mukha (oral cavity), Danta (teeth), and Shira (head and ENT region). My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Hello,
Since you have hypothyroidism for 1–3 years with dry skin and hair, and have already made minor dietary changes, Ayurveda focuses on strengthening Agni (metabolism), reducing Kapha accumulation, and gently supporting thyroid function using regular Indian household foods. Medicines help, but daily food is the foundation.
Below is a clear, practical  food guide using common Indian kitchen items.
🥗 ESSENTIAL INDIAN HOUSEHOLD FOODS (MUST INCLUDE)
🌾 Grains (choose warm & light)
Old rice (not freshly harvested)
Jowar
Bajra (small quantity, well cooked)
Wheat – in moderation, preferably daytime
👉 Avoid excess refined flour (maida)
🥣 Pulses & Proteins (very important)
Moong dal (best for thyroid)
Masoor dal
Arhar (toor) dal – moderate quantity
Homemade paneer (fresh, small amount)
👉 Avoid excess chana, rajma, soy
🥬 Vegetables (always cooked)
Must include regularly:
Bottle gourd (lauki)
Pumpkin
Ridge gourd (tori)
Carrot
Beans
Beetroot (small quantity)
👉 All vegetables should be well cooked, not raw.
⚠️ Cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli):
Allowed only when cooked
1–2 times/week maximum
🌿 Spices (very important for thyroid)
Use daily in cooking:
Turmeric (haldi)
Cumin (jeera)
Coriander (dhaniya)
Dry ginger (saunth)
Black pepper (small quantity)
These stimulate Agni and reduce Kapha.
🧈 Healthy Fats (for dry skin & hair)
Cow ghee – 1–2 tsp daily
(Very important for dryness & hormone balance)
Mustard oil / sesame oil for cooking
🍎 Fruits (light & seasonal)
Apple
Papaya
Pomegranate
Pear
Guava
👉 Best taken mid-morning, not at night.
🥛 Dairy (timing matters)
Warm milk at night (if digestion allows)
Buttermilk (chaas) at lunch with roasted jeera
❌ Avoid curd at night
🚫 FOODS TO AVOID / LIMIT (VERY IMPORTANT)
Raw salads
Cold water, ice cream
Excess sugar & sweets
Fried food
Packaged/processed food
Excess soy products
Eating late at night
⏰ DAILY  ROUTINE (SIMPLE)
Morning
Warm water with soaked methi seeds or jeera water
Breakfast
Vegetable poha / upma / idli (with spices)
Lunch (main meal)
Rice/roti + dal + cooked sabzi + ghee
Evening
Herbal tea (ginger + jeera)
Dinner
Light, before 7:30–8 pm
Soup / khichdi / roti + sabzi
🕉️ EXPECTED BENEFITS
Better digestion: 2–3 weeks
Reduction in dryness: 1 month
Improved energy & metabolism: 6–8 weeks
Better support to thyroid medicines
Important note:
Ayurvedic diet supports treatment, but do not stop thyroid medication without doctor supervision.
🌸 Final Advice
Consistency matters more than perfection.
Food taken daily in the right way works like medicine in Ayurveda.
Warm regards,
Dr.Sumi

I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.
