Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

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.

DEAR RAHAN, You're not alone in this. in todays demanding academic and proffesional setup , many brilliant minds face what you're going through- intense mental exhaustion, constant pressure to perform and emotional overwhelm that manifests as racing thoughts, anxiety, heart palpitations, and sleepless nights. Ayurveda does not treat these just as isolated symptoms but understands them deeply as an imbalance of prana vata, sadhaka pitta, and depletion of mental immunity and vitality. When the mental pathways are disturbed by overstimulation, irregular sleep, erratic eating, and lack of grounding activities, the nervous system loses its steadiness. Even positive qualities like ambition and sharp intellect start to backfire, creating inner restlessness , self doubt, and loss of clarity. What you need is not sedation or suppression,but a well-structured mental reset using natural, non drowsy , mind strengthening herbal therapies as sattvic lifestyle rituals that restore calm, enhance mental stamina, and support long hours of study without fatigue. #Phase 1= stabilising anxiety ,calming mind and supporting natural sleep duration- for 21-30 days 1)MANASMITRA VATAKAM(kottakal/baidyanath)- 1 tab bedtime with warm milk= calms prana vata, reduces heart palpitations, non sedative mental stabiliser 2)ASHWAGANDHA GHANVATI(dootpapeshwar/patanjali) - 1 tab morning+night with warm milk= reduces cortisol, boosts stamina, relieves fatigue 3)SARASWARISTA+ASHWAGANDHARISTA(baidyanath/nagarjuna)- 15ml each with equal water after lunch and dinner= long acting brain nourishing tonic to reduce mood swings and restore sleep 4) BRAHMI GHRITA (avp/baidyanth)- 1 tsp empty stomach with warm milk=strengthens focus, removes brain fog, balances sadhak pitta 5)ARJUNARISTA(baidyanth)- only if heart palpitations are intense- 15 ml after meals with water= strengthens cardiac functions, calms nervous system #Phase 2- enhancing concentration, memory, and study stamina Duration- after 1 month to 3 months 1)MEDHYA RASAYANA CHURNA(baidyanath/nagarjuna)- 1/2 tsp with honey in morning after breakfast=enhances grasping power and long term memory 2)VACHA CHURNA(Avp)- pinch with warm water after lunch= reduces brain fog and increases alertness 3)Suvarna bhasma(dootpapeshwar)- 25mg with Brahmi ghrita- alternate days for 1 month= improves intellect, memory and immunity. this combination is designed to reduce anxiety without making you sleepy-it will help yout think clearer and stay mentally energetic for long hours. #DIET STRICTLY AVOID- -tea/coffee, energy drinks, chocolate, and cola-they stimulate vata and disturb sleep -deep fried snacks, maida, and bakery products -very spicy, sour , fermented foods -late night dinners or skipping meals INCLUDE DAILY- -cows milk at night with nutmeg+ashwagandha churna 1 tsp -ghee in lunch/dinner- nourishes brain and balances vata -soaked almonds(5)+ black raisins(7) every morning -sweet fruits- banana, mango, papaya-give glucose for brain function -moong dal khichdi, steamed veggies, rice,roti-light sattvic meals #LIFESTYLE PLAN TO RESET MIND,BODY AND SLEEP MORNING ROUTINE- -wake up by 6am -5 mins of oil pulling + tongue scraping -drink warm water with 1 tsp ghee -light stretches/suryanamskar-6 rounds -10 min nadi sodhana pranayam+ 5 mins silent meditation EVENING ROUTINE(POST STUDY WIND-DOWN) -avoid screen time post 9:30 pm - apply Brahmi taila to scalp and soles of feet -drink warm nutmeg milk with 1tsp ashwagandha churna -do bhramari pranayam-7 rounds or chant Om for 5 minutes -keep bedroom dark, cool and distraction free #WEEKLY RITUALS -2-3 times-self massage with mahanaryan taila -once a week- trataka(candle gazing)-sharpens concentration ,balances ajna chakra -take natural walks or sit in sunlight- 20--30 min daily FINAL WORDS "TRUE HEALTH IS NOT JUST ABSENCE OF DISEASE- IT IS A CALM MIND , STABLE INTELLECT, AND PEACEFUL SLEEP. Dear Rahan, The mind is like a lamp-if the oil(Ojas) runs dry, even the brightest intellect cannot shine. your struggles are no your fault- they're sign that your inner reserves are low and your system is asking for grounding and rejuvenation. This ayurvedic approach is crafted not to make you drowsy, but to awaken clarity, stamina and emotional steadiness without compromising your goals. within 3-4 weeks, you should begin to feel lighter, more centred, and better able to sit for long study hours without overthinking or mental fatigue. Stay committed to this holistic rhythm let the medicine nourish your brain and routine calm your senses hope this might be helpful thank you regards, DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

Your symptoms of anxiety, overthinking, heart palpitations, mood swings, and sleep issues indicate an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and activity in the mind and body. These symptoms are common when Vata is out of balance, especially with your intense study schedule. To begin with your diet, focus on warm, cooked, and nourishing foods which are comforting. Avoid caffeine and cold, raw foods as they aggravate Vata. Make sure you keep regular meal times and include more grounding foods like sweet potatoes, ghee, and whole grains. Incorporating spices like cumin, ginger and turmeric can also help balance the digestive system and soothe Vata. For sleep issues, establish a calming nightly routine. Try to go to bed around the same time each night, somewhere around 10 PM if possible. Before sleeping, consider warm oil self-massage (Abhyanga), using sesame oil, which has a calming deep effect on the nervous system. This can help settle Vata and improve your sleep. Breathwork practices, like Nadi Shodhana, a form of alternate nostril breathing, are beneficial in calming the mind and reducing anxiety levels. Practice this daily for at least 10-15 minutes, especially before bed or study sessions. Meditation too can be incorporated to further steady your mental pace. Considering your study requirements, Ashwagandha was a good choice, it's great for reducing stress and supporting brain function. However, look to add Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) as well, known for enhancing memory and concentration without sedation. Brahmi can be consumed as a powder mixed in warm milk or as a tea brewed from leaves. Continued use of Saraswatarishta is advisable as it supports mental clarity, but it needs consistent use over a longer period to truly manifest its benefits. Try this for a minimum of three months, ensuring regular consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor the dosage. Remember to incorporate physical activity into your routine, such as gentle yoga or walking which aids in managing anxiety and grounding Vata. Make sure to consult with an Ayurvedic physician before making any significant changes, especially as you’re juggling a heavy study load.
