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.

Dr. Khushboo
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

Hair loss can indeed be challenging, but from an Ayurvedic perspective, there are strategies that can help address this issue naturally. Ayurveda views hair loss as a manifestation of imbalances within your body's doshas, principally Pitta, which govern heat and metabolism, including skin and hair health. Start by examining your diet. Incorporate cooling, bitter, and astringent foods, as these pacify Pitta. Opt for foods like fresh veggies, fruits—particularly pomegranates and berries—and leafy greens. Foods that imbalance Pitta, like spicy, oily, or fermented items, should be avoided. Consider taking triphala regularly, as it is a powerful herbal mixture that detoxifies and balances the doshas, enhancing digestion, and promoting overall health. Oil massages (shiroabhyanga) are also a valuable Ayurvedic practice for hair health. Use cool, nourishing coconut or bhringraj oil to gently massage your scalp 2-3 times a week. This acts not only to nourish the hair follicles but also improves circulation and calms the mind, which can indirectly improve hair health. It's important to get adequate sleep and prevent sleep deprivation, as lack of rest can aggravate the Pitta dosha. Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep every night, creating a calm and soothing bedtime routine. Additionally, managing stress is also crucial. Practicing yoga, pranayama, or meditation daily helps maintain doshic balance and reduce stress levels. Techniques like Shavasana at the end of your yoga routine or practicing diaphragmatic breathing can be particularly grounding and beneficial. For herbal support, consider consuming ashwagandha or brahmi, as both herbs have health-promoting qualities that support stress relief and wellness. These should be taken under the guidance of a qualified practitioner to ensure proper dosage and suitability for your individual needs. Remember, consistency is key. Ayurvedic approaches are holistic and might take time to show noticeable results, but these lifestyle and dietary adjustments foster long-term well-being and healthier hair growth. If you continue to have significant concerns, consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner can provide more personalized guidance.
