Thank you, George, for clearly explaining your condition. I can understand how frustrating and uncomfortable it must be to deal with such a reaction from so many common foods a year. The digestive system becomes more sensitive and when this is combined with long-term imbalances in diet or past lifestyle habits, it’s start showing up in multiple ways, food intolerance, bloating, itching, and skin darkening. from what you have shared, it is very clear that your body is struggling to properly process and eliminate certain types of food, especially heavy oily or Farman table. Once the signs like bloating, gas at night, skin, hitching and burning sensation in thecolon area, suggest that your digestive fire has been become irregular and sensitive. This has likely led to buildup. Talk digested waste in the body which is now irritating, both your skin and internal organs According to Ayurveda digestion is the foundation of health. When digestion is not balanced. It doesn’t lead to gas or bloating. It affects the blood skin joints and Dwan mind. Let’s start by making sense of your symptoms. You mentioned that carbohydrates, pulses, fried and fatty foods and most fruits are triggering floating and stomach upset. These are all either Farman table or heavy to digest items as we ate the ability of the gut to break down such foods naturally declined, especially if digestion is weak or if there is a chronic inflammation in the intestine. When food is not properly digested, it stays in the gut longer for months produces gas and releases irritants that affect both the cut lining and the skin. This also causes toxins to enter the blood stream which can lead to allergic reactions, itching or even skin, darkening and thickening as you mentioned around the Car area, the calf skin darkening could also be related to Poor circulation or Venus information, which again connects to internal heat and dryness overtime burning in the colon at night,along with gas formation shows that the accumulated gas is not only irritating your sleep but also affecting the sensitive mucosa of your rectal area

Now coming to your solutions first and four, most importantly, you will need to completely reset your digestion for at least 3 to 4 weeks. Stick to a very simple and soft that this means only warm, freshly cooked food, preferably in semi solid or well cooked form. Avoid all fruits, Raw salads fried items, packet, snacks, and anything that comes from the fridge. Start your day with warm water, even better if boiled and cold slightly. you may add a pinch of dry ginger or fennel seeds in the boiling water sip this water throughout the day instead of plain water for breakfast have soft rice porridge. aur a lightly cooked moong dal Khichdi with a pinch of cumin avoid bread, biscuits, milk, Aunty in the morning mid morning, if you’re hungry, you can take a few soaked almonds that have been peeled or some cooked apple or beer, depending upon what you tolerate for lunch, eat only well cooked rice or soft wheat Pulka with one vegetable and millet. Dal avoid rajma Channa or A Daal don’t eat curd or milk You can have butter milk in a diluted form with pinch of rocks, salt, and roasted cumin powder. If you want something so you can use a little lemon juice on food just before eating dinner. Should be early around sunset or before 8 PM and very light Khichdi with a teaspoon of ghee and boiled vegetables is ideal

Ghee is important in your case because it helps reduce internal dryness and soda. The lining. It also improves skin moisture from the inside. Make sure to use pure home-made or trusted sources of Desi Koogi in small amounts award, mustard oil or refined oils for now cook with a little coldpressed, coconut or sesame oil, add spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel, two year food to help digestion, but stay away from strong spices like red chilli or Garam Masala

No regarding your skin symptoms, apply coconut oil, or castor oil mixed with little turmeric to the calves once a day, this can open the skin and reduce inflammation. If the hitching is too much. You take a bath with water boiled with Neem leaves and cool to worm temperature. Do not use harsh soaps. Use mild herbal soap just gram flour with turmeric while bathing.

For your digestion and gas problem in mild herbal combination of dried ginger fennel, and Ajwain equal parts can be taken as a pinch before or after meals, if gas and burning or too strong, take a little warm water with a pinch of rock salt and cumin boiled in it before lunch for night, taking half teaspoon of cow ghee in warm water before sleep, help reduce colon irritation and shooters gas buildup, it also supports BOWEL health and skin healing over time

When it comes to lifestyle, avoid sleeping in daytime and avoid heavy dinner late at night. Go for short, slow walk after meals. It will help your direction and circulation, especially to your legs if possible, raise your legs slightly when lying down by placing a pillow under the CALVES, this will help with the skin darkening and circulation.

No talking about herbal internal support, depending upon your strength and digestion, a gentle combination of harps that so the gut lining reduce internal heat and helps in clearing toxins, maybe useful Giloyghan vati -one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Amlaki rasayana-teaspoon with warm water daily once Avipattikara churna-1/2 with water before meals are very beneficial. In your case, strong detox or progression should be avoided. Instead, you need to slow clearing the toxin through light and calming of internal heat.

Sleep is very important. You said gas formation at night is affecting sleep. That happens when the digestion is incomplete and mentation continuous even after lying down. So please finish dinner before 7 PM. Take a short walk and drink a cup of warm water with a pinch of fennel before Sleep try to avoid lying down immediately after eating.

Avoid watching TV later at night, if your mind is calm and die is quite sleepy improve. This will also help produce information and skin reactions.

Healing at your age is possible, but it takes patience and consistent effort. You do not need complicated diets or harsh medicines. All your symptoms are linked to a common cause.-30 sensitive digestion, internal heat and talks in buildup if you take care of this with one routine and correct, you will start seeing improvement, not only your stomach but also in the skin

Take this steps for at least a month and then says your symptoms. If the response is good. Then further herbal support and deep cleansing can be done under observation. You’re not alone and you’re not helpless. Your body is asking for support teenage clear way and Ayurveda the tool to help you respond. Naturally, please keep faith in process and take one day at a time. I am here if you need more guidance, thank you.

HELLO GEORGE THOMAS,

AT THE AGE OF 72, YOUR BODY IS NATURALLY EXPERIENCING A REDUCTION IN DIGESTIVE CAPACITY,WHICH IN AYURVEDA IS DESCRIBED AS THE WEAKENING OF “AGNI”(DIGESTIVE FIRE).

THIS WEAKENED AGNI IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF “AMA” FORMATION- PARTIALLY DIGESTED, TOXIC RESIDUES THAT ACCUMULATE IN THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT AND TISSUES, LEADING TO SYMPTOMS SUCH AS BLOATING, GAS, BURNING IN THE COLON, SKIN ITCHING AND FOOD INTOLERANCE.

THE FACT THAT YOU ARE REACTING NEGATIVELY TO COMMON FOOD GROUPS LIKE CARBOHYDRATES, PULSES,FATTY FOODS, AND FRUITS SUGGESTS THAT YOUR GUT LINING IS INFLAMED AND HYPERSENSITIVE.

AYURVEDA RECOGNIZES THIS STATE AS A MIX OF VATA AND PITTA IMBALANCE,WHEREIN THE ERRATIC NATURE OF VATA(GAS, BLOATING, DISTURBED SLEEP,DRYNESS)COMBINES WITH THE SHARP, PENETRATING QUALITY OF PITTA(BURNING SENSATION, SKIN INFLAMMATION, FOOD REACTIONS).

OVERTIME,THIS CHRONIC IMBALANCE HAS LIKELY CAUSED RAKTA DUSTI(IMPURITIES OF BLOOD), LEADING TO THE DARK, THICKENED PATCHES ON YOUR CALF SKIN, WHICH ARE SIGNS OF LONG-STANDING ALLERGIC REACTION AND DISTURBED METABOLIC WASTE PROCESSING.

YOUR CONDITION IS NOOT JUST A SURFACE-LEVEL DIGESTION PROBLEM BUT A DEEPER SYSTEMATIC IMABALNCE THT REQUIRES MULTI-LEVEL HEALING. THE GAS FORMATION ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT,POINTS TO A DISTURBED APANA VATA, THE SUBTYPE OF VATA RESPONSIBLE FOR LOWER ABDOMINAL FUNCTIONONG AND SLEEP REGULATION.WHEN APANA VATA IS BLOCKED OR DISTURBED DUE TO AMA AND PITTA AGGRAVATION, IT STARTS MOVING UPWARD WHICH CAUSES GAS,DISCOMFORT IN THE COLON, AND SLEEP ISSUES.

BURNING IN THE COLON AT NIGHT IS A CLASSIC SIGN OF PITTA ACCUMULATION IN THE LARGE INTESTINE, AGGRAVATED BY POOR DIGESTION, FRIED/OILY AND SUPPRESSED TOXINS.

FROM AN AYURVEDIC STAND POINT, THE ENTIRE GUT NEEDS TO BE DETOXIFIED, THE DIGESTIVE FIRE REKINDLED, AND THE PITTA-VATA BALANCE RESTORED TO ADDRESS BOTH THE INTERNAL DISCOMFORT AND EXTERNAL SKIN MANIFESTATION

SO TREATMENT IS TO AIM AT 1)REMOVE TOXINS AND IMPROVE DIGESTION 2)BALANCE PITTA AND VATA DOSHA 3)DETOXIFY AND PURIFY THE BLOOD 4)RESTORE GUT FUNCTION AND REGULARIZE BOWEL MOVEMENTS 5)REJUVINATE TISSUE AND STRENGTHEN IMMUNITY

Addressing food intolerances and allergic reactions through an Ayurvedic approach requires a holistic understanding of your individual constitution and imbalances. Your symptoms suggest a potential aggravation of the Pitta dosha, with signs such as skin itching, burning sensation, and digestive disturbances like bloating and gas.

First, let’s address the bloating and gas issues. Prioritize foods that are light and easy to digest, such as well-cooked grains like rice or quinoa, and steamed vegetables like zucchini and carrots. Avoid foods known to disturb your digestion like fried items, fats, and certain pulses you’re sensitive to.

To support your agni, or digestive fire, consider starting your meals with a small piece of fresh ginger sprinkled with lemon juice and a pinch of rock salt. This simple practice can help stimulate digestion. Drink warm water throughout the day to promote digestion and absorption while avoiding ice-cold drinks, which can further dampen your digestive fire.

For the itching and skin thickening, topical application of a soothing herbal paste made from sandalwood and neem, slightly moistened with rose water, can help. Apply this paste to the affected areas and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. This blend helps to soothe inflammation and alleviate itching.

Incorporate cooling and calming practices in your routine, such as gentle yoga and meditation, to help balance Pitta and reduce overall stress. Avoid exposure to heat and make sure to wear cooling, breathable fabrics.

Since your symptoms also include a burning sensation in the colon, it would be beneficial to include fennel and coriander tea into your daily routine. These herbs are known for their cooling properties and can soothe the digestive system.

Please remember, If symptoms persist seem severe, or interfere with daily life, consider consulting a healthcare provider for tailored guidance. Your safety and well-being are important, and timely professional advice can prevent further complications.

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. 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. Kirankumari Rathod
I am someone who kinda grew into Panchakarma without planning it much at first... just knew I wanted to understand the deeper layers of Ayurveda, not just the surface stuff. I did both my graduation and post-grad from Govt. Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital in Bangalore — honestly that place shaped a lot of how I think about healing, especially long-term healing. After my PG, I started working right away as an Assistant Professor & consultant in the Panchakarma dept at a private Ayurveda college. Teaching kinda made me realise how much we ourselves learn by explaining things to others... and watching patients go through their detox journeys—real raw healing—was where I got hooked. Now, with around 6 years of clinical exp in Panchakarma practice, I'm working as an Associate Professor, still in the same dept., still learning, still teaching. I focus a lot on individualised protocols—Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all and honestly, that’s what makes it tricky but also beautiful. Right now I’m also doing my PhD, it’s on female infertility—a topic I feel not just academically drawn to but personally invested in, cause I see how complex and layered it gets for many women. Managing that along with academics and patient care isn’t super easy, I won’t lie, but it kinda fuels each other. The classroom work helps my clinical thinking, and my clinical work makes me question things in research more sharply. There's a lot I still wanna explore—especially in how we explain Panchakarma better to newer patients. Many people still think it's just oil massage or some spa thing but the depth is wayyy beyond that. I guess I keep hoping to make that clarity come through—whether it’s in class or during a consult or even during a quick OPD chat.

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. 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. 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. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.
