What is the best Ayurvedic medicine for extra time and stamina? - #12234

Jaxon

I have been looking for a natural way to increase stamina and energy levels, especially for better endurance during physical activities. I came across the term extra time Ayurvedic medicine, but I am not sure which one works best. I often feel tired quickly, even after mild exercise. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs that improve energy, endurance, and performance? I have heard about Ashwagandha, Shilajit, and Safed Musli—are these effective for increasing stamina? Apart from herbal medicines, does Ayurveda recommend any dietary or lifestyle changes to naturally improve stamina? Should I avoid certain foods or eat specific ones to enhance my strength and energy levels? If anyone has tried an extra time Ayurvedic medicine for increasing stamina, please share your experience. Which one worked best, and how long did it take to show results?

To naturally increase stamina and energy levels, Ayurveda offers several herbs that can help improve endurance and performance. Ashwagandha, Shilajit, and Safed Musli are indeed well-known for their energy-boosting properties. Ashwagandha helps reduce stress and enhances vitality, Shilajit is rich in minerals and helps improve overall strength and recovery, and Safed Musli is known for boosting energy and stamina by supporting the body’s natural resilience. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and protein can support energy levels. Foods like ghee, nuts, and seeds can also be beneficial. It’s best to avoid overly processed foods, excessive caffeine, or heavy meals before physical activity. Incorporating regular exercise, adequate rest, and proper hydration are also key lifestyle changes to improve stamina. Herbal supplements like these can show results in a few weeks to a couple of months with consistent use.

heyy, so you’re looking to boost stamina and energy naturally through Ayurveda? That’s a good route to explore! There are actually some really effective strategies and herbs that could help. Let’s talk about a few that you’ve mentioned as well as some lifestyle tweaks.

Ashwagandha is a fav, it’s what we call an adaptogen. It helps manage stress and is great for energy. It might take a couple weeks to really kick in but totally worth it. You can take Ashwagandha powder with warm milk or water before bed, about a teaspoon should do.

Shilajit is another powerhouse. It’s boosting energy levels is one of its biggest claims to fame… but make sure you’re getting the pure stuff, ’cause quality really matters. Start with a small amount daily, it usually comes in resin or capsule form. Some folks say it takes a few weeks to notice a significant difference in stamina.

Safed Musli also helps. It’s renowned for enhancing performance and energy. You could start with the powdered form - a teaspoon mixed with warm milk once a day, ideally in the morning.

Diet-wise, so important! Focus on balanced meals incorporating fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables, whole grains like quinoa, amaranth., and lentils. Cook with ghee, it decent source of good fats and very nourishing. Avoid overly processed and heavy foods since they can dampen agni (digestive fire) which is key for energy and vitality. Avoid too much caffeine - it can be tempting, but can also crash your energy in the long run, ya know?

Don’t forget to sleep, at least 7-8 hours and manage that screen time - it can zap energy without us realizing it. And exercise, moderate regular exercise is crucial, like yoga — especially sun salutations, which can energize your whole system.

doesn’t happen overnight but stick with it. Hoping you find this helpful! Any questions… just let me know!

Dr. Sara Garg
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.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Akshay Garg
I am working as a Senior Ayurveda Consultant in an Ayurvedic multi-speciality hospital, and honestly it still feels a bit surreal sometimes because the work is so wide and kind of unpredictable each day. I move between different departments, looking at cases that range from simple digestion problems to chronic disorders that need long-term panchakarma support, and I try to bring a balanced clinical view without losing that traditional Ayurvedic touch that gives the whole system its meaning. Some days I’m deeply involved in planning treatment protocols with juniors, other days I end up spending long time with a pt trying to understand where the imbalance actualy started. In a multi-speciality setup you learn fast that nothing comes isolated—one pt walks in for pain, but the root is life-style; another comes with respiratory issues but the digestion is where everything is stuck. I like that part, even if it makes my thought process a bit tangled while I’m working through it. Being in a senior position also means I guide the team on diagnosis patterns, dosha assessment, panchakarma selection, all that practical stuff that you dont get fully from textbooks. And sometimes I mix modern clinical observations with classical Ayurvedic principles just to make sure the pt gets safer and more effective care. I don’t try to make it fancy; I just want the treatment to make sense for the pt sitting in front of me. There’s also a satisfaction in seeing long-term pts return with improvements—pain reducing, sleep stabilizing, metabolism settling down—and knowing the whole team contributed. I keep learning through every case, even when I think I already understand the pattern, there comes some tiny detail that changes the approach. My aim stays the same each day: to offer treatment that feels honest, thoughtful and truly healing, not just symptom management. And working in a multi-speciality hospital gives me that chance to see Ayurveda applied in its full, practical form, with all its depth and little imperfections that make it real.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

I am Dr Soukhya, completed my BAMS degree under Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science, and sometimes I still can’t believe how fast that year of full-time practice went by… feels like I m still figuring small things while already handling so many female disorders and skin related conditions every day. I work mostly with Ayurveda treatments for gynic cases, hormonal ups-and-downs, chronic skin troubles and a few other things that always need more gentle hands than people expect. I am practicing for a year now, but honestly the learning kind of never stop, each patient shows something new… sometimes I even pause thinking “wait, did I explain that right” and then go again with more clarity. My focus stays on understanding the root-cause, balancing doshas properly, and giving care that feel practical not over complicated. I treated many gynic issues, from irregular cycles to pregnency related discomforts, and a lot of cosmetology concerns too (acne, pigmentation and stuff that people get worried about really quickly!). I am also running offline yoga classes for pregnant women and others too… it started simple but grew into this small supportive space where I see how much differnce breathing and mindful movement makes. Sometimes the schedule gets messy, or I m not sure if the batch timing was perfect, but the sessions still turn meaningful. Ayurveda, yoga, routine corrections — all these tie together in my approach. I try to keep things straighforward, even if my notes get a bit scattered here and there or a comma miss somewhere, but the intention stays steady: help people feel better with methods that respect body’s natural healing.

Dr. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

Dr. Vinod Kumar
I am working mainly as a Nadi Vaidya, and sometimes I still get a bit lost trying to explain what that really means in short words, because pulse reading kind of feels deeper than what fits in a simple line. When I sit with a patient and place my fingers on the nadi, I try to sense those small shifts in vata pitta kapha that tell me where their system is going out of track… sometimes I re-check it twice just to be sure I’m not missing a tiny variation, even if it makes me look a bit slow in the moment. I am also involved in Ayurvedic medicine preparation and formulations, which is something I enjoy almost too much — mixing the dravya, adjusting the proportions, watching how the balance changes by a small tweak. At times I get distracted thinking if I should try a slightly diff herb profile, but I always stay inside the classical guidelines, just making sure the formulation really matches the patient’s prakriti and their current avastha. Some days my notes get messy and I forget a comma here or there, but the process of crafting a remedy still feels very precise to me. I focus on making medicines that support digestion, metabolism, tissue strength, things like that, because a good formulation can shift a person’s health more gently than people expect. And when I match the nadi reading with a right formulation, the results turn clearer, at least in my expereince. I am trying to grow this work slowly, understanding more about how each patient responds, and adjusting my approach without rushing. Even when doubts pop in my head—like did I judge the pulse too quickly or should I re-evaluate the formulation—I take it as part of learning. Being a Nadi Vaidya with hands-on practice in Ayurvedic preparations feels like a path that keeps opening new layers for me, and I want to keep refining it, even if my thoughts wander or my typing looks a bit off now and then.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.
