Consultation Request for Ongoing Ayurvedic Support for Peanut Allergy and Food Anxiety - #23349

Anil

Namaste, I am seeking Ayurvedic support for my daughter, who is now 24 years old and has had a peanut allergy since 2016. Whenever she accidentally consumes peanuts or peanut-based products, she experiences swelling of the lips, a choking sensation in the throat, and mild dizziness. Sometimes her skin also feels dry. Usually, she takes Zyrtec (half or full tablet), and the symptoms settle within an hour. Her first reaction happened after eating satay sauce, which contains peanuts. Since then, we always carry Zyrtec with us, and it helps when she reacts. However, eating outside food is always a risk — often restaurants or shops are not aware if their food contains peanuts. She also has mild hayfever during the pollen season, which is manageable. The biggest challenge now is her fear and anxiety around eating outside food. Once, while travelling alone in Korea, she accidentally ate a roll that had peanuts (not mentioned on the label). She panicked, took Zyrtec multiple times, and had to go to a hospital. Although she recovered, it left a deep emotional impact. Now, she avoids most outside food and is very anxious, which is affecting her lifestyle and confidence. Doctors have also given her an Epipen for emergencies. We are now looking for long-term Ayurvedic support. Our hope is: To reduce her allergic sensitivity over time, if possible. To help her body become more tolerant to accidental exposures, so reactions are less severe. To support her emotionally, so she feels calmer and less panicked if such situations arise. Can you please suggest if there is an ongoing Ayurvedic approach for this — including herbs, diet, lifestyle, or immunity-building treatments — that can help reduce the intensity of these allergic reactions and support her mental state? Thank you very much!

Namaste Anil

Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform with your daughters, health and well-being I truly understand how challenging it must be for both of you Living with a food allergy that brings fear and uncertainty, especially after difficult past experiences like the one she faced while travelling What you described is not only a physical concern, but also deeply emotional, and it is important that both are address gently and holistically…

According to Ayurvedic point of view, food allergies or hyper -sensitive to specific food or often seen as a sign of highly reactive human system is sensitive digestive tract and a mind that has learnt to stay on alert

The good news is it is curable

She can start on

Haridra khand -half teaspoon with warm water twice daily after food Ashwagandha churna-half teaspoon with warm water once daily Hingwastaka churna-half teaspoon with warm water after food twice daily Kaishore guggulu- Medha vati-each one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Saraswathi aristha-two tsp with equal quantity of water twice daily after food

Avoid spicy, sore fermented food Processed preserved cold food Avoid suppressing natural or adjust like sneezing or yawning as this can aggravate sensitivity Maintain regular mealtime and a light dinner Do pranayama yoga meditation daily And please continue carrying the epipen and zyrtec-they are essential in emergencies That said your daughter sensitivity can improve over time with consistent Care. Her body will slowly become more resilient and more importantly, our fear of food will begin to soft. She doesn’t have to avoid life. She just needs the tools and support to feel safe again. Wishing your daughter, peace, safety, and strength, both in mind and body

Namaste, 1. Is that mean, she had no peanut allergy before 2016? What happened (any major changes in the place/food/stress levels?) 2. Is there any family history of allergic reactions to dust, pollen&/food items?

These specifications will give more clarity about the condition and future course of action.

Broadly, Improving the immune system which involves periodic panchakarma procedures, followed by ayurveda medications to reduce the reaction of the system towards the peanut. Take care. Kind regards.

1) No there was no peanut allergy before then because she used to eat food containing peanuts till she was about 15 years old, although didn’t quite relish it - but it wouldn’t cause any symptoms like this. But when she was very small up to about 4 or 5 years of age she used to get eczema sometimes but she grew out of that. 2) There’s no family history of allergies. But my wife does have rheumatoid arthritis. Thanks Kind Regards

Thank you for clarifying: Though she grew out of go eczema and you are saying she did not relish peanut, body was showing signs. and also her mother is immuno-compromised. But they are not directly related to peanut allergy from which she is suffering now. Please go to a nearby ayurveda doctor who runs a panchakarma clinic/set up; as i mentioned earlier it is very useful to build the resistance. Take care. Kind regards.

NAMASTE ANIL JI,

Thank you for sharing your daughters history with such clarity and care. peanut allergy, particularly anaphylactic type reaction are indeed serious, and its wise that yore continuing all emergency precautions like Zyrtec and Epipen use

from an ayurvedic perspective, such allergies are viewed as a combination of aggravated pitta-kasha dosha with a weak digestive fire and disturbed rasa-dhatu formation, coupled with sensitive mind , leading to both physical and emotional hypersensitivity.

While Ayurveda does not offer a “cure” for life-threatening allergies to be honest like allopathic medicines but it can help reduce allergic sensitivity, strengthen immunity, balances dosha, calm the nervous system, and build emotional resilience- making accidental exposure less distressing and possibly less reactive over time.

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING OF FOOOD ALLERGIES ROOT FACTORS

-AGNI DUSHTI(weak digestion and metabolic imbalance)- improper processing of even healthy foods leads to toxins, resulting in immune hyper-reactivity.

-RAKTA AND RASA DHATU VITIATION- hypersensitivity blood and plasm tissues react disproportionately

-MANOVAHA SROTAS DUSHTI- anxiety and panic worsen vata pitta imbalance during reactions

-KAPHA-PRADHANA ALLERGIES- characterised by swelling, mucus,throat blocakges

-PITTA COMPONENT- inflammation, burning sensation, skin dryness

-VATA COMPONENT- dizziness, fear, restlessness, choking sensation

AYURVEDIC PROTOCOL(LONG TERM AND PREVENTIVE) GOAL-desensitize the body gradually, strengthen immune intelligence(ojus), pacify pitta-kapha and support mental calmness

TREATMENT PLANNED FOR YOU= minimum 6-12 months

1)SHITOPALADI CHURNA+ PRAVAL PISHTI- 1/4 tsp with honey, twice daily after food= for Kapha-pitta allergies and throat suppport

2)HARIDRA KHANDA- 1 tsp with warm milk daily at night= anti-allergic strengthens skin and immunity

3)GUDUCHI CAPSULE- 500 mg twice daily in morning and night= immune modulating and anti-inflammatory

4)YASTIMADHU CAPSULE- 1 capsule in morning= soothes to throat and reduce inflammation

5)ASHWAGANDHA+BRAHMI- 2 Capsules at bedtime= bata-pacifying mental calmness and adaptogenic

6)AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA- 1/2 tsp before lunch and dinner with warm wtaer= supports digestive fire, prevents toxins and pitta build up

YOU CAN CREATE A CUSTOM CHURNAM FOR LONG TERM USE EQUAL PARTS - SHITOPALADI+HARIDRA + GUDUCHI+YASTIMADHU+AMLA POWDER- 1/2 tsp twice daily with honey or warm water

#MAINLY GO FOR PANCHAKARMA AND DETOX TO GET BEST RESULTS

-VIRECHANA(PURGATION)= remmoves pitta and toxins from liver and intestines -BASTI(medicated enema)=for deeper immune modulation and anxiety management

DIET

GENERAL PRINCIPALS -eat warm, home cooked, non spicy, non oily, easily digestible foods -avoid heavy kapha foods- peanuts(obviuosly), dairy(limit), fried snacks, wheat heavy meals -reduce pitta triggers- tomatoes, vinegar, fermented foods, red chilli - avoid ice cold drinks and frozen food- weakens digestive fire -eat at regular intervals- no skipping meals

SUPPORTIVE FOOD -warm rice+moong dal khichdi -steamed veggies -cow ghee- 1 tsp daily in food -turmeric milk -soaked almonds- 3-5 daily,peeled -herbal teas- tulsi,licorice,ginger,fennel

LIFESTYLE AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT her emotional fear is valid but can be transformed with lifestyle and regular calming practices

DAILY ROUTINE -wake by sunrise -oil massage with ashwagandha bala lakshadi taila -warm water sipping through out the day -light physical activity- daily yoga -avoid overstimulation-excess screen time, late nights

RECOMMEDED YOGA AND PRANAYAM -anulom Vilom-alternate nostril breathing- 5 mins daily - Bhramari- 7 repetitions daily(great for panic) -childs pose(balasana), legs-up-the wall(viparita karani)- to calm vata pitta -Guided meditation with mantra- chant om shanti or om trayambakam for calming fear

IMMUNE AND EMERGENCY PREP -even while working on ayurvedic immunity continue -carry Zyrtec and epipen -use ayurvedic throat spray or licorice lozenges if mild symptoms start -keep travel pouch with- sitopaladi mix(told above), yastimadhu churna and guduchi capsules

MANASIKA CHIKITSA(EMOTIONAL HEALING) her fear is not only physical but deeply mental. ayurveda sees this as vata imbalance in manovaha srotas -NATURAL MOND SOOTHERS -ashwagandha Brahmi capsules- at night -stress com - 1 tab at night as needed for panic -warm foot oil massage with sesame oil at bedtime -encourage talking -safe aromatherapy- lavender, rose, sandalwood

EXPECTED OUTCOME

1-2 MONTHS= better digestion, slight emotional stability 3-4 MONTHS= less intensity of skin/throat dryness, calmer nervous system 6+ MONTHS= fewer flare ups, stronger confidence , possible reduced sensitivity

DO NOT TEST or reintroduce peanuts intentionally . Ayurveda does not recommend desensitisation by exposure in severe case -keep emergency meds always ready -ensure all medicine are free of cross contamination

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFULL FOR YOUR DAUGHTER

THANK YOU

DO FOLLOW

NAMASTE ANIL JI,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful message. I’m truly heartened to hear that the guidance has brought you both reassurance and clarity. It’ an honor to support you on this journey toward deeper healing and balance.

1)PROPORTION FOR SHITOPALADI CHURNA+PRAVAL PISHTI -these two can be mixed in equal proportions(1:1 ratio). For example you may mix 50 gms of each to prepare a combined blend. From this mix, administer 1/4 teaspoon twice daily with little honey after meals. This combination helps balance both kapha and pitta, offering soothing relief for allergies and throat irritation.

2)CUSTOM CHURNA FOR LONG TERM USE -the blend of shitopaladi, haridra, guduchi, yashtimadhu and amla (in equal parts) is designed as a long-term , constitutional support for immunity, respiratory health, and overall dosha balance. You may begin with the initial combination(shitopaladi+praval pishti) during acute phases or seasonal transitions. The custom churna can then be gradually introduced as a substitute for ongoing use- particularly during times of stability or prevention. If desired, both can be alternated or transitioned based on the individuals current state and seasonal needs.

3)INTRODUCING PANCHAKARMA GENTLY for someone new or hesitant , its ideal to start with gentle, preparatory steps- -begin with warm oil massage at home using mild oils like kshirbala taila -follow with mild steam inhalation or fomentation to help open channels -consider a few days of simple dietary detox using khichri and warm herbal teas. once there’s comfort with these routines you can consult a trusted Ayurvedic practitioner to introduce medicated enema(Basti) in a supported clinical setting. Basti is highly beneficial, especially for vata and supporting long-term immunity, but it should only be done under supervision, particularly in children or first-timers.

4)CHURNA VS CAPSULES FOR BRAHMI AND ASHWAGANDHA- yes, churna form is absolutely suitable and often preferred in traditional practice for better absorption and personalisation. Mixing them with warm water or pinch of jaggery or honey(based on dosha type and time of day) is perfectly fine. for example -Brahmi chunra- 1/2 tsp in morning with honey or warm water -Ashwagandha chmurna- 1 tsp with warm milk in the evening with a pinch of nutmeg for calming effect.

Avoid jaggery if there’s pitta aggravation or during hot weather.

Regarding products like patanjalis power vita- while they offer a general wellness boost and may be suitable for children as a supplement, they tend to be less potent or targeted than pure herbs. They’re fine for casual support, but for specific therapeutic benefits, prescribe herbs in traditional forms are more reliable.

5)AROMATHERAPY CLARIFICATION -by safe aromatherapy, I was referring primarily to essential oil diffusers, which disperse the therapeutic properties of oils like lavender, rose, and sandalwood into the air. these are ideal for calming the ming and enhancing the emotional environment.

Incense sticks can also be used, provided they are natural and free of synthetic perfumes, which can otherwise aggravate the respiratory tract. Reed diffusers are a gentle option for constant, subtle fragrance in room.

please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions or would like to help tailoring these suggestions more specifically to yours daughters constitution or symptoms. It is a privilege to walk alongside you in this healing path

warm regards and best wishes and speedy recovery always.

Namaste Doctor,

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed response — I truly appreciate the time and care you’ve taken to guide us. It has given us both reassurance and clarity.

I just have a few follow-up questions to better understand and implement your recommendations:

You kindly mentioned the combination of Shitopaladi Churna + Praval Pishti (¼ tsp with honey, twice daily after food) for Kapha-Pitta allergies and throat support. Could you please let me know the proportion in which these two should be mixed?

You also suggested creating a custom churna for long-term use (equal parts of Shitopaladi, Haridra, Guduchi, Yastimadhu, and Amla – ½ tsp twice daily). Should this be taken in addition to the earlier combination you recommended in points 1–6, or is it meant as a long-term substitute?

Regarding Panchakarma, my daughter has never experienced therapies like Basti or other detox procedures before. Could you please advise on how to gently introduce someone who is unfamiliar and perhaps a little reluctant to consider these practices?

Instead of capsules, would it be suitable to take Brahmi and Ashwagandha in churna form, mixed with warm water (perhaps with a bit of jaggery for taste)? Also, are products like Patanjali’s Power Vita considered acceptable alternatives in terms of efficacy, or are they generally less potent?

You mentioned the use of safe aromatherapy – lavender, rose, sandalwood. Just to clarify, do you mean this in the form of incense sticks, reed diffusers, or essential oil diffusers?

Once again, thank you for your valuable guidance. We feel truly grateful for your support on this journey toward healing and balance.

Best Regards, Anil

Understanding your daughter’s peanut allergy and its impact on her life is crucial as it seems not only physical but also emotional. First and foremost, I’d like to reiterate that peanut allergies can be life-threatening, so continue prioritising safety measures like carrying an Epipen and consulting allergists for emergencies.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, allergies often stem from an imbalance in the doshas, particularly impacting the Kapha and Vata doshas. This imbalance can disrupt her Agni (digestive fire), leading to Ama (toxins) accumulation, and contribute to allergic reaction sequences. While Ayurveda can’t replace conventional life-saving treatments, it can complement them by strengthening the system, promoting balance, and providing emotional support.

1. Diet: Focus on a light, warm, and easy-to-digest diet to support Agni. Avoid heavy, oily, or very cold foods. Include ginger in her meals, as it enhances digestion and reduces Kapha. Turmeric is also excellent for its anti-inflammatory properties; adding a pinch to her meals might be beneficial.

2. Herbs: Consider herbs famous in Ayurveda for boosting immunity and managing allergies, like Ashwagandha, which helps calm Vata and supports the nervous system, Bhringaraj, known for its antihistaminic properties, and Tulsi, revered for helping the respiratory system.

3. Lifestyle: Establish a consistent wellness routine—encourage regular pranayama and meditation to reduce anxiety and enhance emotional resilience. Simple breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom can help keep her mind calm before meals.

4. Rasayanas: Chyawanprash, a traditional formulation, combined with honey can nurture her tissues and provide rejuvenation. Use in moderation due to its heavy nature, starting with a small amount daily.

5. Abhyanga: A daily self-massage with sesame oil can help soothe the nerves and balance Vata energy—promoting a grounding, calming effect.

These measures are best implemented under guidance of a qualified practitioner, especially given her unique constitition. Continue working closely with her medical advisors for any emergency allergic response. Patience is key; holistic approaches may take time to show effects, but over time, they can significantly support her overall well-being.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
