Thank you, Aryan for sharing your concern. I truly understand how upsetting it can be when a health problem becomes serious and starts affecting your daily peace of mind. Many people today or facing such lifestyle related issues and you’re absolutely right. This has become a very common but deeply troubling condition whether you are referring to sexual health problems like low libido or performance issues or lifestyle disorders, chronic fatigue stress, or low energy. Ayurveda looks at this. issues not as isolated events, but as signs of imbalance in the old body and mind , and there is help available in Ayurveda, especially if we take a disciplined and holistic approach that includes internal herbal support, correction in diet, improving sleep and managing stress

The first thing to understand is that most modern problems like reduced strength, low stamina, sexual, weakness, stress, or fatigue
Is not overnight, but as a result of long-standing habits like irregular food, digestion, overthinking screen addiction, unnatural, sleep timings and often an emotional strain. The slowly reduce our internal energy, disturb or function and affect the deeper tissues in the body. The good news is this can be reversed in many people by following the right routine, collecting digestion and rebuilding strength, gently and naturally

Let us begin with direction. You should start your day with warm water, not cold, adding a few drops of lemon or a pinch of dried ginger powder to warm water in the morning fair to wake up and clear toxins avoid tea or coffee as the first thing in the morning for breakfast, keep it light and warm you can have something like Modi Chilla vegetable Uma or a bowl of millets with a few cooked vegetables, avoid cold milk, curd, or bread based breakfast. This food slowdown your metabolism and make you feel heavy throughout the day.

Your lunch should be your main meal of the day, preferably eaten between 12 to 1:30 PM. Eat freshly cooked food with lightly spice vegetables, rice or soft Roti, some green moong dal or split Masoor Dal and a spoon of GHEE. Ghee in moderate quantity help rebuild your course, strength and support tissue repair, avoid eating deep fried, overly spiced, fermented foods as this increase acidity and interfere with digestion and hormone balance Also stay away from heavy sweets, cold drinks and salt or sore food. This disturb your blood circulation and nervous energy.

Your dinner should be early late and easy to digest soups, boiled vegetables, rice with soft Dal or kichdi eat at least two hours before sleeping , this allows your body to use in night time for healing instead of struggling with direction. If you feel hungry late at night, you can have a few soaked almonds or a warm turmeric. Drink with plant-based milk. Avoid tea, coffee or phone use at night as it over, stimulates the brain and disturbs natural hormonal production.

No coming to internal treatment, your condition likely involves weakness or imbalance in reproductive energy, digestion, and mental strength. For this herbal support is useful, but must be given thoughtfully in general, a gentle combination of harps that support tissue, nourishment, hormonal balance, and stress relief is recommended. You may consider taking Ashwagandha based supplements.( Ashwagandha capsule.) one capsule twice daily after food with warm milk, it helps in calming the nurses, improving sleep and restoring strength. Safes musli- Shatavari-half teaspoon each twice daily after food with warm milk Which is also useful in rebuilding reproductive vitality and stamina For digestion, a mild herbal blend that includes triphala or trikatu (1/4 th tsp with warm water) can be taken at night to keep the stomach clean and improve absorption.

You have to take this at least for minimum three months to see the benefits Now let’s talk about daily routine and moment wake up early before sunrise. If possible. This has a deep impact on your hormone cycle. Even if you sleep late, slowly shift your bedtime and wake time earlier by 30 minutes each week after waking freshen up and take a short walk in open, it don’t rush into your phone or laptop. First thing. Let your mind begin the day quietly, gentle moment , like yoga, stretching, or breathing exercise in the morning beneficial, it boos blood flow, improves duration and else reduce anxiety and tiredness. Even 20 minutes of simple stretches or surya namaskar done consistently, give great benefits

Avoid sitting continuously for long hours. If your work is based, take a short 2 to 3 minute walk or stretch every hour long sitting will heat and pressure in the lower body and effect circulation. 2 vital organs. Hindi evening walk, barefoot on grass, orchid, Kaly with soft instrumental music, which will help the mind to slowdown. This brings emotional as ability and health system. Relax before sleep.

Sexual and emotional strength or connected, uncontrolled sexual habits, addiction to stimulation through devices or irregular sleeping can rain energy over time, reduce exposure to artificial stimulation and allow your body to rebuild strength naturally

Try to stay emotionally, calm and not too overthink practice simple breathing techniques before Pd. Just close your eyes in deeply through the nose for four seconds. Hold for four seconds and excel slowly for 6 to 8 seconds.

Repeat for 10 to 15 rounds every night, the simple shift your body into rest Heal mode

Remember, the body can heal even from long-standing issues. When given the right support and patience. Nature doesn’t make a problem as developed. It can often be reversed by making real and lasting changes not by shortcuts, but by respecting your bodies, needs the regularity and trust it may take a few months, but people have experienced very good results by following a consistent natural routine. Stay disciplined with food. Sleep thoughts, take herbal support. Keep your body light and your mind, calm.

I am here to support you with any questions. You may have along this journey. You are not alone. This problem is common, but the solution lies in personal care, natural healing, and restoring your internal balance. One chapter a time your body has all the power it needs. Just needs you to work with it, not against it .

Hair thinning after 40 years can be a common issue and Ayurveda provides an effective, natural way to address it. Hair health, according to Ayurvedic principles, is closely tied to the balance of doshas, particularly Pitta dosha. An imbalance in Pitta can lead to hair issues like thinning and loss. Here are some recommendations based on Ayurveda to help you manage and potentially reverse hair thinning.

First, it’s important to address your diet. A Pitta-pacifying diet can be beneficial. This means including cooling foods such as cucumbers, melons, and coconut water, while avoiding spicy, oily, and fried foods that can aggravate Pitta. Additionally, consuming amla (Indian gooseberry) regularly is considered highly beneficial for hair health. You can take it in the form of juice or powder.

Next, Ayurvedic herbs such as bhringraj and brahmi are traditionally used to promote hair growth and maintain scalp health. Applying bhringraj oil directly to your scalp a few times a week can nourish hair roots and promote growth. Similarly, bhrami can be used in oil form or as a paste applied to the hair.

Yoga and meditation can also play a role in reducing stress, which is often a contributing factor to hair thinning. Simple pranayama practices—such as deep breathing exercises—can help to balance Pitta and cool the mind.

Another key aspect is ensuring that your scalp is clean and free from buildup that might block hair follicles. Gently massaging the scalp with a mix of coconut oil and a few drops of essential oils like rosemary can not only cleanse but also stimulate blood circulation, promoting hair growth.

Remember, patience is essential as Ayurvedic remedies take time to show effects due to their natural approach. If hair thinning persists or is severe, it might be wise to consult with a healthcare provider to anlayze for any underlying conditions.

I hope these guidelines help you in your journey towards healthier hair. Please follow these instructions consistently for a period to observe their benefit.

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. 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. 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. Kahekashan Awatif Khanam
I am an Ayurvedic physician who kinda took the long way round in practice, but I feel that helped. I started off in the surgical dept., worked for a full year under a general surgeon—ya, in an allopathic setup—mostly assisting with diabetic wounds, dressing changes, debridement and post-op wound healing. That phase really taught me patience... and precision too. I wasn’t just watching, I was doing the stuff daily. Lot of tissue work, infection management, gauging healing speed—it all stayed with me even as I moved into Ayurveda fully. Now I run OPD-based practice in Mumbai. My major focus right now is musculoskeletal n autoimmune things—Amavata, Sandhivata—basically arthritis spectrum. I see a lot of cervical spondylysis, sciatica, frozen shoulder, you name it. I use internal meds + local therapies, mostly oil applications, kati basti, snehan–swedana combos. In few cases we do deeper detox (panchakarma types), but I keep it minimal unless needed. Pain relief is big, yes, but I’m more interested in building back lost mobility. Kidney stones is another area I take up often—non-surgical management only. Not everyone knows this but a lot of small-medium calculi *can* pass with the right formulations + diet corrections. It takes close monitoring, like a lot of it, but many patients avoid surgery when they stick to the plan. I always go case by case though, I don’t generalize stone care. Also yeah, I’m a certified nutritionist too, which kind of bridges the gap for me. I don’t believe Ayurveda and food can be handled separate. What they eat during vata aggravation or post-shodhana affects outcomes way more than people think. I like working on chronic cases, especially the ones who’ve seen too many doctors and still feel stuck. My treatment plans aren’t flashy, but I do adjust every small detail for each person. That’s where I think it works—the tuning, not the intensity.

Till now I have served more than 500 patients through teleconsultations, mostly chronic cases where consistency really matters more than quick fixes. I focus on understanding each patient through dosha assessment, mainly balancing Vata, Pitta, Kapha using individualized treatment plans and nutrition guidance. Around 85% symptom relief has been seen in chronic conditions, though outcomes vary and need patience. I rely on personalised diet, daily routine correction, and classical Ayurvedic medicines. Some days are challenging, but seeing people feel lighter, sleep better, or regain control over health keeps me going. My aim stays simple,, long term wellness through practical Ayurveda, not rushed solutions.

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. 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. 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. 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. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

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.
