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.

NAMASTE JI,

Your recurring gastric symptoms and lack of long term relief, despite normal test results, suggest a functional gastrointestinal disorder like functional dyspepsia or chronic gastritis- often linked to diet, stress and digestive imbalance rather than an identifiable structural isse

you may be suffering from imbalance of pitta dosha or vata pitta imbalance -irregular eating habits -spicy, oily, processed foods -excess worry/stress -late night meals -weak digestive fire

DIET -warm, soft easy to digest foods= khichdi, moong dal, rice gruel -boiled veggies -homemade buttermilk -cow ghee 1 tsp daily in meals -aloe vera juice -herbal teas

AVOID -tea/coffee, especially on empty stomach -spicy, fried, oily sour foods -pickles , curd , fermented foods -cold water or aerated drinks -late night or irregular meal timimgs

INTERNALLY START WITH 1)AVIPTAIKAR CHURNA- 1 TSP DAILY TWICE WITH WATER WATER

2)KAMDUDHA RAS- 1 tab twice daily before meals

3)SUTSHEKHAR RAS- 1 tab twice daily after meals

4)AMLPITTANTAK SYRUP- 20 ml with water twice daily

5)SHANKHA VATI- 1 tab twice daily after meals

LIFESTYLE -eat at fixed time daily, chew food properly -walk for 20-30 min aftermeals -avoid daytime sleep and staying awake late at night -practice deep breathing- anulom vilom, meditation for stress

Your condition appears to be chronic but reversible, especially if managed holistivally medicines offer temporary relief, but only diet , digestion strangthen

DO FOLOW FOR 2-3 MONTHS

THANK YOU

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 NICKI SINGH,

Chronic gastric problems that don’t resolve fully even after medication and return once you stop treatment can be deeply frustrating . Based on your symptoms- gastric discomfort, nausea, weight loss, tenderness in an empty stomach, and normal test results- the issue likely stems from functional gastrointestinal disorders(like functional dyspepsia) or gut microbiome imbalance

LIKELY CAUSES-ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA In Ayurveda, your symptoms suggest a vitiation of pitta and vata dosha, mainly Amla pitta(hyperacidity) and Adho gati vata(abnormal movement of vata in the digestive tract). The root causes might include -Irregular eating habits, skipping meals, eating late at night -Overconsumption of spicy, oily, sour foods -stress and anxiety-strongly affects vata and digestion -excess fasting or undereating -improper sleep schedule -weak agni(digestive fire)

TREATMENT GOAL 1)strengthen digestive fire 2)Balance pitta and vata dosha 3)heal and soothes the gastric mucosa 4)prevent recurrence with lifestyle and dietary changes

INTERNAL MEDICINES PLANNED FOR YOU

1)AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm water before lunch and dinner for 1-2 months

2)KAMDUDHA RAS(PLAIN)- 1 tab after meals twice daily for 1 month

3)SUTSHEKHAR RAS- 1 tab before meals twice daily for 1-2 months

4)SHANKHA VATI- 1 tab after meals twice daily for 1 month

5)TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 15-20 days

If weight loss is prominent , Ashwagandha Churna- 1tsp twice daily with warm milk after meals = strengthen metabolism and reduce stress

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED

RECOMMENDED FOODS -warm fresh, lightly spiced home-cooked melas -khichdi with ghee, moong dal soups -steamed vegetables like carrots, pumpkin, bottle gourd etc -rice, oats, soft wheat roti -Fennel seeds, cumin, coriander - in teas or cooking -A2 cow ghee-soothes gut lining and balances pitta -Buttermilk(diluted) with roasted cumin, coriander-midday -warm water throughout the day-avoid cold drinks

AVOID -spicy,oily,fried foods -sour foods-tomatoes, vinegar,pickles -coffee, tea-especially on empty stomach -cold water or refrigerated foods -eating late at night -sipping meals or fasting

LIFESTYLE -wake up by 6:30 AM -drink warm water with fennel or coriander seeds soaked overnight -Eat on time, 3 regular meals daily-no skipping -avoid sleeping during the day -sleep by 10 pm

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Vajrasana(5-10 min after meals)= aids digestion, balances vata -Pawanmuktasana(5-8 breaths per leg)= releases gas, relieves bloating -supta-baddha konasana(3-5 mins)= relaxes abdomen, eases nausea -Setubandhasana(30sec*3)= stimulates abdominal organs -Balasana(1-2 min)= calms nervous system, reduces acidity -Ardha matsyendrasana(30 secs each side)= improves digestion, massages intestine -Apanasana(1-2 min)= relieves gas and abdominal tension

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana(alternate nostril)- 5-7min, calms vata, relieves stress -Sheetali= 2-3 mins, soothes pitta, reduces burning -Bhramari=3-5 mins, reduces anxiety and acidity

STRESS MANAGEMENT -regular meditation-10min morning/evening -avoid overstimulation-late night screen time, multitasking

your 4 keys to permenent recovery 1)discipline in diet -warm,light,regular meals->fixed times -no skipping, no late night eating, no cold/raw food

2)Daily yoga and pranayam -30 -40 min of gentle movement and breath work heals the gut-brain connection

3)Mind and emotional management -stress triggers gut issues. prioritise calmness, sleep and self care

4)Internal support -natural, dosha balancing medicines aids recovery but must go with lifestlye

Your symptoms are reversible. you’re not broken - just out of rhythm . Ayurveda doesn’t mask symptoms - it teaches you to live in harmony with your own body.

If you follow thus consistently for 8-12 weeks, you can expect -lighter stomach, no nausea or bloating -steady weight gain -mental calm and better energy -normal appetite and digestion without dependence on pills

wishing you deep healing, patience and strength

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Your symptoms are pointing towards an imbalance in your digestive system, which Ayurveda often attributes to an aggravated Pitta dosha. This could be the cause of your lingering gastric issues. Let’s attempt to address this holistically by focusing on diet, lifestyle, and some simple home therapies to bring balance back.

First, your diet needs attention. Agni, or the digestive fire, plays a crucial role in digestion, and we must pacify the excess Pitta. Avoid spicy, oily, and greasy foods as they aggravate Pitta. Include more cooling foods such as cucumbers, watermelon, and sweet fruits in your diet. Whole grains like basmati rice and barley, as well as plenty of green leafy vegetables, should be your go-to choices. Drink coconut water or aloe vera juice to aid digestion and hydrate the body.

Eat at regular intervals and try not to let your stomach go completely empty as it could lead to that feeling of tenderness. Opt for smaller, frequent meals—aiming for a light breakfast, a wholesome lunch as main meal, and a lighter dinner. Avoid late-night eating, and wait at least a couple of hours after a meal before lying down.

Lifestyle adjustments can contribute a lot. Incorporate practices like yoga and meditation to reduce stress, which often exacerbates gastric issues. Pranayama, or breathing exercises, can significantly benefit digestive health by calming the nervous system.

Herbally, you might look for Triphala at bedtime, which can help regulate digestion. A tablespoon of soaked coriander seeds overnight consumed the next morning can also be beneficial.

Since you’re losing weight, maintaining adequate nutrient intake is crucial. Ensure your meals have balanced nutrients, and consider Ayurveda-based supplements like Ashwagandha to support weight gain.

If symptoms persist, or worsen, it is wise seek direct consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner or physician for a personalized regimen, possibly involving Panchakarma therapies, which can be more intensive. However, bear in mind, this might require some time and consistency it is a more natural, gradual approach.

ChatGPT said: 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. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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.

Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Dr. Keerthana PV
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. 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. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.
