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. 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.

Hello Kavya. There are some things you need to look after. First your Gut issue. Once you get it solved you will start gaining weight. Second, you need to do deworming. Third you need to eat on time. It is not about how much you eat. It is more important to know what and when you eat. Fourth you need to do simple sesame seed oil massage on your body daily which can be done by yourself you don't need any assistance. Here is a detailed plan for your weight gain program. Very first thing you need to do is deworming. Ayurvedic medicines are very costly and take 21 days procedure and like you mentioned you want cost effective remidy i would suggest you to take TAB. BANDY PLUS. Only 2 tabs you have to take at night in a gap of 3 day. Next you need to take care you eat properly. As you mentioned you have hostel food, drink lots of dal. That will be the best source of protein and will help you to gain weight. 2-3 katori minimum dal in each meal. No drinking tea coffe. Rather switch to MILK. Drink buffalo milk that will help you gain weight. If you donot have SINUS issue or any cold cough related issue go for 1 bowl panchamrit (Dahi+Milk+Sugar+Ghee+ Honey) with 2 banana as your breakfast. Half an hour before both your lunch eat a small piece of ginger by just chewing it dnt drink it with water. This will help you solve your digestion issues. Tab. Ampachak Vati 2 tabs before food twice a day will help solve your gastic problems quickly and will help you gain weight fast. For snacks eat ROASTED CHANNA DAL (daliya/phutana) or ROASTED PEANUTS with Jaggery this will also help you gain weight. Do Anulom Vilom and Bhramari Pranayam daily Do SURYANAMASKAR. start slowly and increase the number of suryanamaskar. Do Bhujangasan, Tadasan, Vrukshasan, Trikonasan, Pashimotanasan, Gomukhasan, Dhanurasan, Matsyasan, Setubandhasan. If you can do some pushups and squats also. Squats is malasan and will help with your GI issue. Start doing every asan at for 1-2 mins hold and 5 rounds each and slowly slowly increase time for every asa.

Weight gain through yoga isn’t as direct as it might be through dietary changes, but it can support your journey to gaining weight by balancing your doshas, enhancing digestion and stimulating muscle growth. Given your constitution and current lifestyle, focusing on asanas that enhance agni, bolster muscle mass, and balance Vata dosha due to underweight concerns is beneficial. Firstly, incorporate yoga asanas like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) and Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand). These poses stimulate metabolism and improve hormone balance which can support weight gain. In addition, practice Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose) and Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) which aids in strengthening muscles and improving digestion. Dedicate about five minutes on each asana with proper breathing technique. Considering your slim body and GIT issue, adopting an Ayurvedic nutrition approach is equally vital. Increase intake of nourishing, oily, and sweet foods which are grounding and help to add weight, such as ghee, milk, potatoes, and bananas, if your digestion handles it well. Drink a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of ghee in the morning on an empty stomach. It's an age-old remedy to stimulate digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Focus on regular meals without long breaks to maintain consistent energy levels, ideally spaced around 3-4 hours apart. Try to relax when eating, allowing your body to fully digest each meal. A simple homemade drink - mix jaggery and ground roasted chickpeas with milk - can be consumed as mid-meal. For periods where stress or anxiety may contribute to vertigo-like symptoms during periods of urgency, consider adding 5-10 minutes of Pranayama. Specifically, practice Anulom Vilom and Sheetali, which help to stabilize the nervous system. Yoga and Ayurveda can be powerful together by harmonizing your body's systems, but be patient with weight gain. It’s often gradual and demands consistent effort, combining yoga practice with the correct diet and lifestyle changes. However, if vertigo episodes continue, it's recommended to seek medical advice to rule out underlying issues.
