So, about ashwagandha, it’s a pretty popular herb in Ayurveda, especially for stress and stuff like depression. But whether 350 mg twice a day is enough kinda depends on a few things. People are unique, ya know? The way your doshas are, your digestive fire (we call it agni) and any other imbalances matter when considering how beneficial ashwagandha might be, alright.

For someone just starting out, 700 mg daily dose is pretty standard. It's been used safely and it might help in uplifting mood and fighting off that gloomy feeling. But it’s not a one-size-fits-all kinda solution. You gotta listen to your body too. See if it's making any difference and try to be patient. Ayurvedic remedies sometimes take time to weave their magic, it's more of a process than a quick fix.

If you feel you need more support, it might increase to 900-1200 mg. It really varies. But be careful, don’t just up the dose without checking in with a healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic practitioner who can consider all aspects of your health. They can look into whether there's something else affecting your mood.

Don’t forget, herbs alone might not do all the heavy lifting. Try incorporating lifestyle and diet based on your constitution. Start with small changes, like sleep well, stay hydrated, and include grounding foods. Things that keep you stable and calm. Maybe add yoga or meditation if you haven't. They could help regulate emotional imbalances too.

Lastly, if depression's really putting a damper on things, even Ayurveda practitioners sometimes suggest seeing a counselor or using conventional medicine alongside natural approaches. Trust your instincts, make informed choices, and know there’s always help and hope — hang in there.

I have gained comprehensive clinical experience through my internship and professional duties, which has laid a strong foundation for my medical practice. During my internship, I worked extensively across multiple departments, including casualty, general medicine, general surgery, and obstetrics & gynecology at the Government District Hospital, Gadag. This exposure allowed me to handle a variety of acute and chronic cases, sharpen my clinical assessment skills, and actively participate in patient management under the guidance of senior medical professionals. Following this, I served as a duty doctor at AYUSH Hospital, Gadag Betgeri, where I applied my Ayurvedic knowledge in a clinical setting and contributed to patient care in both outpatient and inpatient departments. I successfully completed 366 days of rigorous internship training at DGM Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital, Gadag, where I was involved in patient evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning under supervision. My time there allowed me to integrate classical Ayurvedic principles with practical patient care while developing a keen understanding of hospital operations and multidisciplinary collaboration. These experiences have enhanced my ability to handle diverse medical conditions confidently while maintaining a patient-centered approach. I am dedicated to continuing my journey as an Ayurvedic practitioner with the same passion and commitment, focusing on delivering quality, evidence-based, and holistic healthcare.
