Thank you for reaching out and trusting me with your health journey. Main aapki pareshaani ko poori samvedana ke saath samajhta hoon. Neend ka theek se na aana, mann mein lagataar vicharon ka chalna, sir dard rehna, aur depression ka anubhav karna kisi ke liye bhi bahut peedit karne wali sthiti hoti hai. Aapki umar abhi sirf 22 saal hai, aur is samay jeevan mein sharirik aur maansik santulan ka bana rehna bahut mahatvapurn hota hai. Ayurveda mein is tarah ke lakshanon ko ‘Manas dosh’, ‘Vata prakop’, aur ‘Satva dukhata’ ke roop mein dekha jata hai. Aaiye is samasya ko gehrai se samajhne aur iska upchar karne ka vishwasniya marg tay karte hain.

Aapki sthiti ko Ayurveda ke drishtikon se samajhna:

Ayurveda ke anusar jab Vata dosha sharir mein badhta hai, to mann mein chanchalta, dar, ghabrahat, ashanti, aur neend ki samasya utpann hoti hai. Ye Vata dosha jab manas dhatuon ko prabhavit karta hai, to vyakti ko neend na aane, atyvichaar, dar, udaasi aur tanav jaisi samasyaon ka samna karna padta hai. Iske alawa, jab vyakti lagataar kisi emotional ya mental tanav mein rehta hai, to uska ‘Sattva’ – yaani manasik sthirta ka tattva – kamzor pad jata hai, jisse depression, anidra, aur thakan jaise lakshan ubharte hain.

Aksar ye dekha gaya hai ki jo log din bhar vyast rehte hain, lekin mann mein sthirata nahi hoti, unmein raat ko neend nahi aati. Jab sharir to thak jata hai lekin mann jaagta rehta hai, to neend ki prakriya prabhavit hoti hai. Aapka mann sambhavta kisi atit ghatna, kalpana, bhay, ya asuraksha ke bhaav se prabhavit hai – jiska asar aapke manas aur sharir dono par ho raha hai.

Is samasya ke liye Ayurveda mein kuch moolik siddhant aur upchar hain jo aapke liye upyogi ho sakte hain:

1. Dincharya aur Ratricharya ka palan: Aapka sharir aur man ek niyamit jeevan-shaili ke anukool hone lagta hai. Subah brahma muhurat mein uthna, thoda vyayam ya yog karna, aur raat ko ek nishchit samay par sona is sthiti mein bahut madad karta hai.

2. Vata-shamak aahar: Vata ko shaant karne ke liye naram, garam, poshak, aur sneha yukta aahar ka sevan karein. Jaise – khichdi, doodh, ghee, badam, moong dal, sabudana, aur samay par bana hua garam bhojan. Thanda, sukha, bahut zyada masaledar, junk food, ya caffeine ka sevan bilkul na karein.

3. Medhya Rasayan aur manas dosh shamak aushadhiya prayog: Ayurveda mein kuch aise rasayan aur churn diye gaye hain jo manasik shanti ko badhate hain, vicharon ko niyantrit karte hain, aur neend mein sudhar laate hain: • Brahmi Ghrita – subah ek chamach garm doodh ke saath • Ashwagandha churna – raat ko garm doodh ke saath 3–5 gram • Jatamansi churna – raat ko sone se pehle thoda garm paani ke saath • Shankhpushpi syrup – din mein do baar • Saraswatarishta – 10–15 ml, barabar paani milakar, din mein do baar bhojan ke baad

Ye sab aushadhiyan maansik sthirta badhane, ghabrahat aur tanav ko kam karne, aur neend ko prakritik roop se bahal karne mein sahayak hoti hain. Inka prayog kam se kam 45 din tak niranatar karein.

4. Abhyang (Sharir par tail se malish): Har raat sone se pehle paeron, kandhon, aur maathe par thoda sa Bala Tail ya Ksheerabala Tail lagakar halka massage karein. Isse Vata shaant hota hai aur man mein sukoon milta hai. Agar aapko poore sharir ka abhyang sambhav ho to hafte mein do baar karwana aur bhi labhdayak hoga.

5. Pranayama aur dhyan: Roj subah ya shaam ke samay 15–20 minute tak Anulom-Vilom, Bhramari pranayama, aur Om chanting ka abhyas karein. Yeh vicharon ko niyantrit karne, mann ko sthir karne, aur nervous system ko shaant karne ke liye atyant prabhavi hai. Dhyan (meditation) se aapka man bhatakne ki jagah ekagra hone lagta hai, jo neend aur depression dono mein sudhar lata hai.

6. Snehapan aur Shirodhara (Vishesh Panchakarma chikitsa): Agar aap kisi Ayurvedic chikitsalay mein jaa sakte hain, to Shirodhara ka upchar aapke liye bahut upyogi hoga. Isme ek vishesh tail ko lagataar maathe par dhara kiya jata hai, jisse Vata dosha shant hota hai aur manasik tanav door hota hai. Iske alawa Snehapan (antar se ghee ka sevan) bhi Vata niyantran mein madad karta hai.

7. Samvedansheel aur sahayak jeevan drishtikon: Mann ke rog aksar tab gehre hote hain jab hum apne vicharon, bhay, aur takleefon ko kisi ke saath baant nahi paate. Aap kisi vishwasniya vyakti ya counselor se apne mann ki baat share karein. Apne aap se prem karein, apni apekshayein kam karein, aur jeevan mein thoda dhairya layein. Aap kisi yog teacher, satsang, ya dharmik path karyakram se bhi jud sakte hain jo manasik bal aur aastha ko majbooti dete hain.

8. Raat ki neend ke liye kuch gharelu prayog: • Raat ko sone se pehle ek glass garm doodh mein jaiphal ka chhota sa tukda ghis kar lein, aur usse peene se neend mein madad milti hai. • Ek sauft aur mishri ka kadha bhi neend aur pachen mein sahayak hota hai. • Neem ki chhoti moti putli banaakar takiye ke paas rakhna bhi labhdayak ho sakta hai.

Ant mein ek baat yaad rakhein: Neend ek prakritik kriya hai jo tab hoti hai jab mann aur sharir dono shaant hote hain. Jab humari soch aur bhaavnaayein vyavasthit hoti hain, to neend swayam aati hai. Aapki sthiti sthal par kaafi sambhavit hai, lekin ismein samay lagega, lagatar upchar aur dhairya ka palan zaroori hai. Har din apne liye kuch samay nikaalein, apne vicharon ko likhein, prakriti ke saath samay bitayein, aur apne aap par vishwas rakhein.

Agar aap chaahein to aapki prakriti (Vata-Pitta-Kapha) ka bhi vishleshan karke vyaktigat roop se upchar aur aahar-vihar ka margdarshan bhi diya ja sakta hai. Aap mujhe kuch aur jankari dein jaise – aapki bhukh kaise lagti hai, peeney ki aadat, bathroom jaane ka pattern, aur manasik sthiti ke bare mein thoda aur – to main aur vyaktigat margdarshan kar sakta hoon.

Aapka swasthya punah prapt ho, isi kamna ke saath.

Sleeping issue, overthinking, and depression, all are interconnected with each other so what you can do is first start doing meditation pranayama wake up early. Do regular walking at least for 30 minutes per day Whenever you feel that you are overthinking to one particular thought, then divert at least try to divert your mind Start reading some books, avoid screen time, spend some family time. Be socialising. Keep yourself occupied by doing what you like. Meanwhile, you start on. Medha vati-one tablet twice daily after food with warm milk Saraswathi aristha-4 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice daily after food Definitely by following the above, you will find a positive result within few weeks. Good luck.

THANK YOU MAY YOU HAVE A PEACFULL LIFE AHEAD

नमस्ते पूजा, 22 वर्षीय महिला को नींद ठीक से नहीं आती है नींद की कमी के कारण सिरदर्द होता है अधिक सोचना अवसाद के लक्षण हो सकते हैं आयुर्वेद के अनुसार, ऐसी स्थितियाँ मुख्य रूप से वात-पित्त असंतुलन के कारण होती हैं- अत्यधिक सूखापन, मानसिक अतिसक्रियता (वात) और आंतरिक गर्मी (पित्त) मन और नींद को बाधित करती है। कमजोर मनोवाह स्रोत (मन के चैनल) और कम सत्व (मानसिक शक्ति) भी एक भूमिका निभाते हैं

दैनिक दिनचर्या सुबह 6:30-7 बजे तक- मधुर संगीत या मंत्र के साथ उठें। बिस्तर पर मोबाइल का उपयोग करने से बचें

सुबह 7-8 बजे- अनुतैला की 2 बूंदें नाक में डालें, गर्म पानी पिएं, 30 मिनट टहलें, योग और ध्यान करें

सुबह 9 बजे- हल्का गर्म नाश्ता- चिल्ला, उपमा, पोहा, ओट्स आदि

दोपहर 12:30 बजे- दोपहर का भोजन- घर का बना ताज़ा खाना दही, किण्वित या तला हुआ खाने से बचें

शाम 5 बजे- हर्बल चाय- तुलसी+भ्रामी+लिकोरिस, शाम 4 बजे के बाद कैफीन से बचें कठोरता से

7:30- 8 बजे- रात्रि भोजन- खिचड़ी, रोटी-सब्जी

रात 9 बजे- स्क्रीन टाइम से बचें। शांत संगीत सुनें

रात 10 बजे- क्षीरबाला तेल या भ्रमी तेल से तलवों की मालिश करें। फिर सो जाएँ

आहार- कॉफी, कोल्ड ड्रिंक, चॉकलेट, खट्टे अचार, मसालेदार जंक फूड, पैकेज्ड चिप्स, देर रात का खाना और दही से बचें

शामिल करें- रात को जायफल और अश्वगंधा पाउडर के साथ गर्म गाय का दूध

दोपहर के भोजन में भीगे हुए बादाम, खजूर, घी

भोजन में सेंधा नमक, अजवाइन, जीरा

ये दवाएँ लेना शुरू करें-

1) मानसमित्र वाटकम (बैद्यनाथ ब्रांड)- रात को सोते समय गर्म दूध के साथ 1 गोली - दिमाग को शांत करता है, नींद को बढ़ावा देता है

2) अश्वगंधा चूर्ण- 1 चम्मच दूध के साथ रात के खाने के बाद- तनाव कम करता है, नींद में मदद करता है 3) ब्राह्मी वटी- सुबह और शाम 1 गोली- चिंता दूर करता है, दिमाग को सपोर्ट करता है 4) सरस्वती- 2 चम्मच + पानी, दिन में दो बार खाने के बाद- अधिक सोचने, याददाश्त बढ़ाने में मदद करता है

1 चम्मच खस की जड़ (वेटिवेरा की जड़), तगर, जटामांसी को 2 कप पानी में तब तक उबालें जब तक कि यह 1 कप न रह जाए। सोने से पहले गर्म पानी पिएं

ब्रह्मरी प्राणायाम और नाड़ी शोधन- प्रतिदिन 10 मिनट- सुबह, शाम (वीडियो यूट्यूब पर उपलब्ध है)

रात में योग निद्रा- यूट्यूब

अपने विचार, चिंताएं लिखें और फिर कागज फाड़ दें

सुबह सूरज की रोशनी में रहें

पंचकर्म का सुझाव

शिरोधारा- गहरी शांति

तक्रधारा- क्रोध और गर्मी को नियंत्रित करने वाला

नास्य- जैसा कि ऊपर बताया गया है अनुतैल

अभ्यानाग+स्वेदना

अपने आस-पास सकारात्मक लोगों और दैनिक पुष्टिकरण से रहें

मोबाइल का उपयोग सीमित करें

इसे 4-6 सप्ताह तक जारी रखें

फिर आप देखेंगे- सुधार होगा नींद की गुणवत्ता कम सोचना सिर दर्द और चिंता में कमी अधिक ऊर्जा और स्थिर मनोदशा

किसी भी तरह का तनाव न लें, क्योंकि जो होने वाला है वह होकर रहेगा। आपकी अधिक सोचना और तनाव आपको ही नुकसान पहुँचाएगा, इससे स्थिति नहीं बदलेगी- इसलिए पहले अपने बारे में सोचें

धन्यवाद आपका आगे का जीवन शांतिपूर्ण हो

Overthinking, and not getting enough sleep often go hand in hand, leading to headaches and feelings of depression, which you’ve rightly pointed out. In Ayurveda, sleep issues can often be linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha. Overthinking, being a part of this dosic imbalance, also reflects an agitated Prana Vayu, a sub-dosha of Vata that oversees mental activities. Addressing the root cause requires a holistic approach that harmonizes Vata while also supporting mental peace and restfull sleep.

First up, Ayurvedic herb like Ashwagandha can be very helpful. Take half a teaspoon with warm water or milk before bedtime. It helps to calm th mind, reduce stress levels, and also promotes sound sleep. Brahmi is another herb which works wonders on the nervous system and helps in easing the mind, supporting you to relax.

Creating a proper evening routine would also make a big difference. Atleast an hour before you want to sleep, try massages (Abhyanga) with warm sesame oil. It has calming effects and encourages a restful sleep. Follow this with some light stretching or gentle yoga. Specific asanas like Uttanasana (forward bend), Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose) are good choices.

Caffeine intake should definitely be reduced if not eliminated, especially in the afternoon and evening. A warm cup of milk with a pinch of nutmeg and cardamom before sleeping can support restful sleep. Try meditation or pranayama, Brahmari Pranayama is known for its calming effect on the mind - consider starting your morning with it to set a tone of tranquility.

Minimise electronic devices usage too before bed. The blue light they’re emitting can disrupt your sleep cycle. Establish a regular sleep schedule, going to bed and waking up at the same time everyday can reinforce a natural sleep-wake cycle.

Of course, given your mention of depression, it’s important to consider reaching out to a mental health professional too, they can provide a deeper level of support. For more acute symptoms, seeking professional medical help is the right step. Your health is primary, so please take care and if symptoms, worsen don’t hesitate to consult a doctor.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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.

Dr. Anupriya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

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.

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. 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.

Dr. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.
