Hello, thank you for trusting and reaching out this platform with your wife’s health concern

I can imagine how overwhelming and painful the situation must have been recently with your faced

Sudden kidney stone pain, especially when it trades from the back to the urinary track can be extremely distressing, I truly empathise with what your wife is going through, especially considering her previous history, like blood pressure, romantic art, disease, diabetes, and even history of psoriasis, each of these conditions as its own complications and when combined with renal stone pain, the treatment plan has to be deep, personalised, and very careful to be seen

Let me break this down and guide you from an Ayurvedic perspective

Kidney stones are described as ASHMARI in Ayurveda. It is one of the eight most difficult diseases to treat. ( Ashta Mahanada) Here the vata pitta and kapha doshas have become imbalanced and mixed with urine and waste material materials, gradually crystallising into stones From what you have described The 13 mm stone in the kidney likely represents kapha. Vata dominant Ashmari stable, but capable of causing pain if disturbed. The 7 mm stone in the broken fragment is the cause of acute pain known in Ayurveda as SEEVAN VEDANA kind of pain, when travel through the narrow urinary channels The presence of blood in urine, although not visible shows trauma in the urinary track, which is also a sign of PITTA aggravation

Your wife’s chronic illness like romantic Car disease, hypertension and diabetes means that her immunity and vitality and vitality is already compromised ,the added burden of psoriasis further reflects deep PITTA and RAKTA imbalance

So the treatment mainly depends upon three things What we had to do

Help dislodge the 7MM stone, naturally and safely Work on breaking and shrinking the 13 MM stone gradually Strengthen urinary track channels, reduce information, protect kidneys, and prevent recurrence All without disturbing her heart BP under sugar levels

So add with the treatment, be consider here are, should be taken internally

Varunadi kwath or Varuna Ghan vati — it is excellent for breaking kidney stones, and reducing inflammation It helps in flushing out, smaller stones If you are taking in for then 1 teaspoon in 400 ML water, boil up to hundred ML filter and drink twice daily and emptied stomach If taking tablet form, then one tablet to be taken twice daily after food with warm water

Punarnava mandoora/ Punarnava Saba—

It reduces swelling, supports kidney health, and it is safe in case of rheumatic, heart, disease, and diabetes If tablet form take twice daily after food with warm water If in Asava form then take 4 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice daily after food Gokshuradi guggulu- Is useful in case of urinary tract, cleansing and healing micro injuries due to stone movement It should be taken twice daily after food with warm water Chandraprabha vati— It works on urinary track, health balances, bless sugar and support kidneys, but while taking this medicine, you have to monitor your blood pressure and sometimes it may increase to some people Must be taken twice daily after food with warm water

Patrachatta juice— This can be either taken in fresh juice or in a tablet, for it is one of the traditional remedy to help disintegrated kidney stones. If fresh form take twice daily diluted in water If tablet form take twice daily after food with warm water

Kulattha yusha (horse gram soup)

This is traditional soup, helps breakdown stone formation and promotes urinary flow

pain management during severe attack—

If pain is sudden, you can try the Dashamoola kwatha-1 teaspoon in 400 ML water. Boil until treatment remains under ML filter and drink. It is used as a anti-inflammatory support.

Warm castor oil massage on the lower back and the abdomen can be done. Block wise. It helps to ease the spasm.

You can mix GOKSHURA along with Shatavari powder with warm water This provides soothing relief to the urinary tract

Apply warm water bag to lower abdomen and back, which will relieve the sudden and Xaviour

If in case of unbearable pain, it’s advisable not to delay. Please visit nearby hospital or urologist immediately. Routine, how the diet and lifestyle should be—

Your wife must follow a diet that balance is both PITTA and VATA DOSHAS should support kidney function and doesn’t burden the heart Avoid tomatoes, spinach, brinjal, excessive diary, red meat, salty, packaged, food, and very sore food

She can include barley, water, coconut water take coconut water if our sugar is under control even she can take coria underwater horse gram soup soup ash gourd juice Drink warm water with a pinch of cumin and coriander powder frequently Safety precautions to be taken in pre-existing conditions

Avoid heavy eating herbs like guggulu in high doses Monitor her BP and sugar every three days Endure hydration without excessive fluid overload, especially due to her cardiac condition Used diabetic friendly and Cardio safe her only

It’s better to avoid Panchkarma unless fully supervised by nearby Ayurvedic practitioner in person due to her Heart condition risk Interestingly, psoriasis and kidney stones can have a subtle connection through aggravated. PITTA and RAKTA doshas, long-term inflammation and metabolic disturbances can pre-dispose the body to both conditions. We should also start rakta pacifying remedies slowly after the stone episodes, stabilisers So she can follow the above, said remedies with diet changes if he’s stable, so I am going to advise to seek emergency help If she is in very intense back or abdominal pain If she’s having nausea or vomiting, that doesn’t subside If blood is present in urine, if the urine is passing, is reddish in colour If our urine output is decreased

Then please do not wait for the natural method. Go to the hospital immediately or consult the urologist.

The stress of multiple health issues can impact telling encourage her to do gentle pranayama, meditation, and listening to music, and stay mentally supported Psoriasis diabetes and kidney issues, all will worse with stress

Ashok G, you are doing the writing by seeking holistic care for your wife Ayurveda been done gently and mindfully can bring great relief without interfering with her ongoing alopathi treatment. Please understand that stone expulsion, especially with heart and Sugar issues must be gradual and closely monitored.

But the thing is, he treats from its root cause, so it may take some time to show its actual result

If you wish I can design a customised herbal protocol with dose and timings, depending upon the exact sugar and BP levels, feel free to share her recent lab reports and current medicine Wishing her comfort, strength and complete healing, may soon her smallest stone comes out smoothly, and the larger one dissolves without any difficulty

13mm stone in kidney is relatively large and is difficult to pass through the tract by itself and also the 7mm stone in the passage also considered as large when compared to the ureter (the urine pipe) So here the possibility is to make the stones in to smaller sizes so that it can pass through the urine

Since here size is little bigger may be we could try Ayurvedic internal medicines for around 2-3weeks if you are getting symptomatic relief we will continue the medication and then again after one month please do take a USG scan focusing Kidneys

We can’t have a lot of medication since she is already having for BP and Rheumatic heart disease

1.Veeratharadi kashayam 10ml + 30ml lukewarm water twice daily before food 2.Chandraprabha gulika 2-0-2 after food 3.Gokshuradi guggulu 1-0-1after food 4.Renalka syrup- 10ml twice /(SOS)

Hello, thank you for trusting and reaching out this platform with your wife’s health concern

I can imagine how overwhelming and painful the situation must have been on 19th May, sudden kidney stone pain, especially when it radiates from the back to the urinary track can be extremely distressing, I truly am sateesh with what your wife is going through, especially considering our pre-existing health conditions like blood pressure, rheumatic, heart, disease, diabetes, and no sorry as each of these conditions as its own complexity and when combined with renal stone paint, the treatment plan has to be deeply personalised and very careful

Let me break this down and guide you from an Ayurvedic perspective.

Kidney stones are described as “Ashmari” in Ayurveda. It is one of the eight most difficult diseases to treat (Ashta Mahagada). Here, the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas become imbalanced and mix with urine (Mutra) and waste materials, gradually crystallizing into stones. You have mentioned that the • The 13 mm stone in the kidney likely represents a Kapha-Vata dominant Ashmari, stable but capable of causing pain if disturbed. • The 7 mm stone in the ureter, the broken fragment, is the cause of acute pain, known in Ayurveda as “Seevan Vedana” — a pricking, tearing type of pain caused when stones travel through the narrow urinary channels.

The presence of Rakta (blood) in urine, although not visible, shows trauma in the urinary tract, which is also a sign of Pitta aggravation.

Your wife’s chronic illnesses like RHD, hypertension, and diabetes mean that her Ojas (immunity and vitality) is already compromised. The added burden of psoriasis further reflects deep Pitta and Rakta imbalance.

So the treatment must do three things: 1. Help dislodge the 7 mm stone naturally and safely. 2. Work on breaking and shrinking the 13 mm stone gradually. 3. Strengthen urinary tract channels, reduce inflammation, protect kidneys, and prevent recurrence — all without disturbing her heart, BP, or sugar levels.

Ayurvedic Treatment Plan

1. Herbal Medicines (Internally) • Varunadi Kwath or Varuna Ghan Vati – Excellent for breaking kidney stones and reducing inflammation. Helps in flushing out smaller stones. • Punarnava Mandoor / Punarnavasavam – Reduces swelling, supports kidney health, and is safe in RHD and diabetes. • Gokshuradi Guggulu – Useful for urinary tract cleansing and healing micro-injuries due to stone movement. • Chandraprabha Vati – Works on urinary tract health, balances blood sugar, and supports kidneys. (But monitor BP as it can mildly increase it in some). • Patharchatta Juice (Bryophyllum pinnatum) – Fresh juice or tablets. This is a traditional remedy to help disintegrate kidney stones. • Kulattha Yusha (Horse gram soup) – This traditional soup helps break down stone formation and promotes urinary flow.

2. Pain Management (During Severe Attacks)

If pain suddenly returns: • Dashamoola Kwatha (if available) can be used for anti-inflammatory support. • Warm castor oil massage on the lower back and abdomen (clockwise) helps ease spasms. • Mix Gokshura + Shatavari powder with lukewarm water – this provides soothing relief to the urinary tract. • Apply warm water bag to lower abdomen and back to relieve pain. • In case of unbearable pain, do not delay; use prescribed painkillers under medical guidance and visit the hospital if needed.

🍲 Diet and Lifestyle Advice

Your wife must follow a diet that balances Pitta and Vata, supports kidney function, and doesn’t burden the heart. • Avoid: Tomato, spinach, brinjal, excessive dairy, red meat, salty packaged foods, and very sour foods. • Include: Barley water, coconut water (if sugar is under control), coriander water, bottle gourd soup, horse gram, ash gourd juice. • Drink warm water with a pinch of cumin and coriander frequently.

Safety in Pre-existing Conditions

Considering her RHD and diabetes, we must: • Avoid heavy, heating herbs like Guggulu in high doses. • Monitor her BP and sugar every 3–4 days. • Ensure hydration without excessive fluid overload — especially due to her cardiac condition. • Use diabetic-friendly and cardio-safe herbs only.

Also, avoid Panchakarma (detox treatments) unless fully supervised by an Ayurvedic physician in person, due to heart condition risk.

Psoriasis and Kidney Stone Link

Interestingly, psoriasis and kidney stones can have a subtle connection through aggravated Pitta and Rakta doshas. Long-term inflammation and metabolic disturbances can predispose the body to both conditions. We should also start Rakta-pacifying remedies slowly after the stone episode stabilizes.

When to Seek Emergency Help

If she experiences: • Intense back or abdominal pain • Nausea/vomiting that doesn’t subside • Visible blood in urine • Sudden drop in urine output

Please do not wait for natural methods — go to the hospital immediately.

Emotional and Mental Health Support

The stress of multiple health issues can impact healing. Encourage her to do gentle breathing (Anulom Vilom), listen to calming music, and stay mentally supported. Psoriasis, diabetes, and kidney issues all worsen with stress.

Ashok ji, you’re doing the right thing by seeking holistic care for your wife. Ayurveda, when done gently and mindfully, can bring great relief without interfering with her ongoing allopathic treatment. Please understand that stone expulsion, especially with heart and sugar issues, must be gradual and closely monitored.

But the thing is, it treats from its root cause, so it may take some time to show its actual result

If you wish I can design a customized herbal protocol with dosage and timings, depending on the exact sugar and BP levels. Feel free to share her recent lab reports and current medicines.

Wishing her comfort strength and complete healing Mary soon for the smaller stone smoothly, and begin to dissolve the larger one gently complete healing.

For the situation with the kidney stones your wife is experiencing, it is crucial first to address any immediate pain she may feel. While you should definitely consult a medical professional for acute pain and follow their guidance, Ayurveda can offer supportive strategies alongside conventional treatment. The presence of larger stones—especially the 13mm stone—often requires medical intervention, such as surgical removal or lithotripsy, which breaks stones into smaller pieces that can pass easier.

For managing the 7mm stone naturally, Ayurveda emphasizes balancing the Vata and Pitta doshas, which are often aggravated in such conditions. Kidney stones are frequently linked to excess of these doshas leading to crystallization in the urinary tract.

1. Hydration: Encourage your wife to drink plenty of water through the day. This helps in flushing out the urinary tract and may assist in passing smaller stones. Opt for warm water, which is easier on digestion and helps maintain Agni (digestive fire).

2. Ayurvedic Herbs: Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Pashanabheda (Bergenia ligulata) are traditionally used for urinary stones. You can find them in formulations like “Cystone” or consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor a specific dosage.

3. Dietary Adjustments: Reducing foods high in oxalate—such as spinach, nuts, and beetroot—might be beneficial. Prefer a diet that’s light and easy to digest, avoiding spicy and oily foods which may worsen Pitta imbalance.

4. Pain Management: Should pain occur, applying heat locally with a warm water bottle may provide relief. Though in significant pain cases, medical attention is necessary.

5. Lifestyle Changes: Stress management through yoga and gentle exercise encourages balance of Vata and Pitta. Practices like Anulom Vilom (breathing exercises) are good to calm the body.

Given her existing conditions—diabetes, BP, and rheumatic heart disease—it’s essential to approach Ayurvedic treatments cautiously and coordinate with her existing medical regimen. Before starting any new herbal supplements or making drastic diet changes, it’s advisable to consult her healthcare provider. Remember, safety first; it’s vital not to replace critical medical care, especially in emergencies, with solely alternative treatments without consultation.

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.

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 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
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. 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. 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?

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. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

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. 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.
