Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

HELLO S N VENOGOPAL JI,

In todays fast placed yet sedentary lifestyle, many individuals in their late 50’s face the double burden of excess body weight and joint discomfort, especially when aggravated by metabolic issues like Hyperuricemia. for someone like you- professionally connected to medicinal plant cultivation and naturally inclined toward holistic living-the solution should not be generic but instead rooted. in the traditional ayurvedic understanding of body constitution, age related metabolic shift, and seasonal dietary behaviour . Carrying 95 kg body weight at this age adds pressure to the foot joints, particularly when uric acid is elevated, triggering stiffness, pain, or gout like symptoms in the fingers and toes. Ayurveda describes such conditions under medo dhatu vriddhi, kapha-agni dusthi, and vatarakta, requiring a deep detoxification approach,metabolic reset, and blood purification. This plan offers a distinct path using rare classical medicines, South Indian herb-based recipes, and personalised joint care therapies

#EFFECTIVE COMBINATIONS

EMPTY STOMACH -VARANADI KASHAYAM- 20 ml +warm water It breaks kapha-meda, relieves foot stiffness, aids weight reduction, and supports metabolic reset.

AFTER BREAKFAST -SAMA NIRUHADI VATI- 1 TAB -GILOY STAVA-125MG WITH HONEY+ GUDUCHI GHAN VATI-1 TAB Clears uric acid pathways, reduces inflammation

BEFORE LUNCH -GUGGULU PANCHAPALA CHURNA- 1 TSP WITH HONEY Unique classical formula for obesity, clear toxins

EVENING -NISHA AMALKI CHURNA- 1/2 TSP WITH WARM WATER Lowers insulin resistance , uric acid, and helps vision/metabolism

AT BEDTIME -CHITRAKADI VATI-1TAB -HARITAKI CHURNA- 1 TSP WITH WARM WATER Improves digestion, mild detox, reduces swelling/pain

NOTE- take quality brand medicines like ARYA VAIDYA SALA/ AVN/KOTTAKAL /BAIDYANATH/DOOTPAPESHWAR

#FOOD PLAN- ROOT TO LEAF

EARLY MORNING DETOX TEA -boil triphala 1 tsp+ turmeric 1 pinch + dried hibiscus petals in 2 cups water->reduce to 1 cup

BREAKFAST -thin ganji(kodo millet or barnyard millet) with 1 tsp kokum juice OR -dry ginger pongal(ginger, curry leaves, small millet,blavk pepper) -No chutney- instead use- coriander leaf podi(dry)

MID MORNING SNACK -roasted banana stem+curry leaf salad OR -kokum water with cumin and fennel

LUNCH -red rice or little millet- 1 bowl -kulith saaru(horse gram rasam)- excellent for uric acid -boiled ridge gourd/snake gourd sabji -pickled amla(not mango) -no curd -but use buttermilk with jeera and ginger

EVENING SNACK -1 tsp flax seeds roasted + warm water -jackfruit seed roast-dry powder roasted as snack-uric acid friendly

DINNER -bottlegourd + green gram soup -1 small ragi mudde if hungry -turmeric leaf water- turmeric leaf soaked in water overnight, drink next morning

#EXTERNAL THERPAIES ADVISED -PODIKIZHI(herbal powder bolus massage)- 2 times/week= improves circulation in joints, burn local fat=kottamchukadi churna, kolakullatha churna

-FOOR PAD LEPA-erandamoola+punarvana- alternate days= reduces uric acid deposits from toe joints

YOGA+BREATHING -CHANDRABHEDANA PRANAYAM- moon channel cooling- for uric acid -PAWANMUKTASANA-feet movement series-very helpful -SURYANAMASKAR(SLOW VERSION)- 6 ROUNDS DAILY -TADASANA -TRIKONASANA -VRIKSHASANA -ARDHA MATSYENDRASANA -30 MINS BRISK WALK DAILY BAREFOOT ON GRASS

#DETOX EVERY FORTNIGHT -Hot water with panchakola churna for 5 days/month -castor oil 1 tsp in warm milk once a month

FINALLY, True weight reduction and pain relief , especially at this stage of life, come not from intense workout or sudden fasting but from long term harmony in digestion,elimination, and cellular balance.

Ayurveda teaches that when we purify the blood, strengthens the digestion and reduce toxin load, even stubborn issues like joint uric acid deposits and excess body weight begin to resolve naturally.

With this protocol you are not only addressing body fat but also correcting the underlying imbalances that created it. the integration of UNIQUE INTERNAL MEDICATIONS, TARGTED DIETRY PRACTICES, AND EXTERNAL DETOX THERAPIES creates a solid foundation for sustainable transformation. over the next 2-3 months, consistent adherence to this plan will help you shed unwanted weight, reieve joint discomfort, balance uric acid levels, and most importantly revive energy and freedom in movement.

May this journey not only bring you relief but also reconnect you with the strength and clarity Ayurveda offers for lifelong wellness

Hope you understand and follow consistently

100% result you will find in next 3 months

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

Reducing weight in a holistic manner involves catering to your dosha balance and ensuring that Agni (digestive fire) is well maintained. Based on classics like Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya, i recommend adjusting your diet to include foods that are Tridosha pacifying, while paying attention to local availability in Karnataka.

For breakfast, consider having thin, spiced vegetable upma made with whole wheat or semolina, including vegetables like spinach, carrots, and beans. Add spices like jeera (cumin) and mustard seeds to enhance digestion. This will help kickstart your day’s metabolism effectively. A cup of warm lemon water, taken on an empty stomach, can also help cleanse your system and boost your metabolism when consumed regularly.

For lunch, opt for a warm, cooked meal featuring brown rice or millet (ragi, particularly loved in Karnataka) with a generous serving of vegetables such as beans, gourds, and root vegetables cooked in spices like turmeric and fenugreek. These are known to reduce Kapha (which contributes to weight gain). Include a small serving of protein like mung dal, chickpeas, or a light sambar to maintain your muscle strength.

Dinner should be light and should be finished by sunset if possible. A simple yet nourishing soup made with lauki (bottle gourd), barley water, or even a lightly spiced dal is ideal. Avoiding dairy at night will aid digestion, preventing any Kapha accumulation overnight.

In between meals, try herbal teas such as ginger or peppermint, instead of caffeine-based drinks. Exercise, moderately,such as brisk walking or yoga, especially post the predominant sitting lifestyle of an advisor, is essential to maintaining a balanced state of well-being.

Taking regular walks in the early morning sun or engaging in gentle stretching activities will support your musculoskeletal system and improve circulation. These recommendations should align with your lifestyle and work as an advisor on aromatic plant cultivation, making it feasible to adhere to them regularly.

Lastly, any sudden or prolonged discomfort, it would be wise to consult a medical professional immediately. Ayurveda encourages you to listen to your body’s signals and take decisive action when needed.

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

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
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.

I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
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. 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. 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. Nancy Malani
I am still early in my journey as an Ayurveda doctor, just completed my one year of rotatory internship and now practicing since about 3 months. Honestly it feels both exciting and heavy sometimes, because you want to do your best but also realize how much more there is to learn. During internship I got exposure to different departments, inpatient and OPD, hands-on with case history taking, basic Panchakarma observation, and seeing how diagnosis by dosh imbalance actually plays out in real life and not just in books. Right now along with my clinical practice, I also work as an Ayurveda consultant (remote) with Caremeez. That role is interesting in its own way — you don’t have the direct physical presence with patient, but still you guide them through symptoms, food patterns, stress issues, minor illnesses, and help them adapt Ayurvedic lifestyle solutions. Sometimes the limitation of not being able to touch pulse or do physical exam makes it tricky, but you also learn how much can be understood just by listening carefully and asking the right questions. In practice I try to keep things simple, clear and practical. No unnecessary complication for the patient. Even if it’s diet advice, I avoid long lists and instead focus on what they can actually follow. For medicines too, I stick to what is relevant, safe and time tested. I know I’m at the beginning stage, still shaping my way of treatment, sometimes correcting myself, sometimes second guessing. But I see value in that too — it makes me cautious, makes me double check before prescribing. My goal is to slowly build a practice that is balanced, where Ayurveda is not just seen as herbal medicine but as a full approach involving diet, daily routine, stress balance, detox when needed. Even in these 3 months of practice, I already see small changes in patients when they follow consistently. That’s what keeps me moving, even on days when I feel unsure or stuck.

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. 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. 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.
