Hi rashmi,

It sounds like you’re dealing with a variety of headache symptoms that could be related to a Vata-Pitta imbalance. Can you tell me if your headaches worsen with stress, lack of sleep, or certain foods, like spicy or hot foods? Also, does the headache come with any digestive issues or irritability?

For your condition, Ayurveda recommends Nasya with Anu Taila or Ksheer Bala Taila to balance both Vata and Pitta doshas. These oils are specifically designed to calm the nervous system and reduce inflammation, helping with your type of headaches.

Indukanta Ghrit is a good choice, but you might also benefit from using Brahmi oil or Saraswatarishta internally for improved cognitive function and to reduce Vata aggravation. Along with this, a calming, Pitta-pacifying diet and lifestyle are essential. Keep your routine regular, avoid excess heat, and engage in calming activities like meditation.

It sounds like your headaches are quite varied, and since your prakriti is primarily pitta with some vata influence, we should consider a balanced approach to calm both doshas. The nasya treatment you’re using is a good start, however, it’s a bit tricky without knowing your full health background. But for headaches that stem from vata and pitta imbalances, Anu Taila is generally quite beneficial.

Anu Taila is medicated oil often recommended for nasya, especially when symptoms include vertigo, dizziness, and headaches involving the brow area. It helps to pacify both vata and pitta and can be used regularly. Try putting 2-3 drops of the oil in each nostril daily in the morning, especially during cooler times when Kapha is less likely to aggravate. Lie down comfortably on your bed with your head positioned slightly lower than your body for better absorption.

Additionally, focusing on dietary habits could also be beneficial. Since pitta is predominant, consuming cooling, grounding foods that are less spicy and oily could help. Foods like coconut, cucumber, and coriander leaf can cool body. Avoid fermented and fried foods as they can aggravate pitta. Stay hydrated and try herbal teas like chamomile or licorce, which can be soothing for headaches.

At the same time, regular lifestyle practices can keep the dosha in check. Incorporating yoga and pranayama, especially practices like shitali pranayama, can be quite helpful for your condition.

Remember, consistent practices with diet, lifestyle, and treatment often give the best results. Keep a check on how your body responds and adjust accordingly. If your condition intensifies or doesn’t improve, it might be wise to seek further consultation with an Ayurvedic physician who can provide you a more thorough examination.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Deepthi P
I am a practicing Ayurvedic physician with around 13 years now in this field—somewhere between hardcore clinical work and academic stuff too. My primary focus is Kaumarabhritya, which means I mostly work in Ayurvedic pediatrics, but I also treat adults across a pretty wide range of conditions. I’ve worked as an Assistant Professor in Ayurvedic colleges, mentored students, and collaborated with a few reputed institutions... not for name-dropping but just to say I’ve seen this system work in both classrooms and clinics. What really pulls me in is working with kids who have neurodevelopmental and behavioral challenges—things like autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, learning difficulties, and cerebral palsy. These are complicated conditions, and Ayurveda—when applied with care and consistency—can do more than people realize. I handle newborn care too, from basic immunity support to digestion or colic or sleep troubles, and that part of the job is oddly grounding. For adult patients, my work includes long-term management of chronic issues. I treat Vatavyadhi conditions (basically all the vata-based disorders), joint diseases like arthritis, neuromuscular stuff, skin problems—especially recurring ones like eczema, and lots of gut-related troubles, from IBS to grahani complaints. I don’t try to ‘fix’ everyone instantly or pretend like Ayurveda is magic—there’s real effort involved. I believe in deep diagnosis, using both classical methods and modern understanding of health behavior. Whether it’s through herbal protocols, diet correction, or lifestyle routines, I try to make each treatment plan doable—not just beautiful on paper. Results matter to people, and honestly they matter to me too. I still keep refining how I work with each prakriti, each family setup, each situation... because no two kids or adults are ever alike.

Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Sarfaraj Mujawar
I am an Ayurvedic consultant with experience working in different setups, each teaching me something new about patient care. I worked for 1 year at Sanjeevini Hospital in Gokak, where I handled OPD consultations, follow-ups, and guided patients through both acute and chronic conditions. It was a busy environment, but it sharpened my ability to make quick yet accurate decisions while keeping treatments rooted in classical Ayurveda. After that, I spent 6 months at Vinayak Hospital in Gottigere, Bengaluru – there the case variety was huge, from lifestyle disorders and joint pain to skin and digestive issues. It helped me adapt treatments to very different patient needs, often combining Panchakarma, diet changes, and herbal medicines into practical plans. Now I’m running my own clinic in Hubballi, Karnataka. Here, I have more freedom to design fully personalized treatment plans and spend extra time understanding a patient’s prakruti, lifestyle, and health history before deciding on the line of management. My approach blends Ayurvedic diagnosis, safe herbal formulations, and where needed, detox or rejuvenation therapies. I focus a lot on patient education too – cause a treatment works best when the person understands why they’re following it. Whether it’s helping someone recover from a stubborn digestive issue, manage chronic joint pain, or improve overall wellness, my goal is always to address the root cause, not just the symptoms. Running my own practice also means building trust with patients and seeing their progress over time, which is the most rewarding part of the work for me.

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: 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.

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with 1 year of hands-on clinical experience, committed to providing effective and holistic healthcare solutions. I began my professional journey as a VOPD (Virtual Outpatient Department) doctor at Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited, where I served for 6 months. During this time, I gained valuable experience in patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning while managing a variety of acute and chronic health conditions through Ayurvedic principles. My role involved virtual consultations, customized treatment protocols, and continuous patient follow-ups, allowing me to sharpen my diagnostic and counseling skills in both preventive and curative aspects of Ayurveda. Following this, I worked as a Resident Doctor at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur, where I further strengthened my clinical expertise. Here, I was actively involved in the management of patients undergoing traditional Panchakarma therapies, Ayurvedic detoxification procedures, and personalized treatment regimens. My responsibilities included in-depth patient consultations, planning and executing Panchakarma therapies, and collaborating closely with senior Ayurvedic consultants to ensure safe and effective patient care. This role enhanced my understanding of classical Ayurvedic therapies, lifestyle modifications, and integrative approaches tailored to individual patient needs. With experience in both OPD and Panchakarma settings, I approach each patient with empathy, attentiveness, and a commitment to delivering authentic Ayurvedic care. My goal is to help patients achieve long-term wellness through natural healing methods rooted in traditional Ayurvedic knowledge.

Dr. Naainikka Mahesh Thopte
I am practicing since about 1 year and 8 months now—not a huge stretch maybe, but honestly feels like I've already walked through quite a mix of cases. And each one kinda shaped how I look at healing. Right from my first OPD posting, I got into hands-on mode with panchakarma-based treatments, and yeah, chronic issues like thyroid, joint stiffness, stones, even infertility cases—those started showing up more often than I thought. Some were complex, some unpredictable. But I stayed with it, trying to figure what exactly worked and when. I like taking time to actually hear the full picture from patients. Sometimes ppl just mention one thing, like back pain, but turns out they’re dealing with hormonal imbalances or digestion that’s all messed up too. That’s why I don’t rush—my approach's slow-ish, maybe, but thorough. I believe in tailoring the treatment, like really listening to what the body’s trynna say. And during this period I also kept showing up in field camps, hospital rotations, even got involved with elocution and poster presentations—those things helped build confidence outside the clinic too. I’m still figuring a few things out, I mean, learning doesn't stop right? But for now I’m grounded in what I know and curious about what I don’t. That balance keeps me goin'.
