In addressing your mother’s condition following a brain stroke, we’ll focus on tailored recommendations grounded in Ayurvedic principles alongside conventional care necessities. First, it’s crucial to remember that loss of speech and recognition issues require close medical supervision. If she’s not already, she should be under a physician’s care to rule out any complications.

As per Ayurveda, balancing the doshas, particularly Vata, which is often aggravated in paralytic conditions, is essential. First step is dietary adjustments. Encourage her to consume warm, cooked meals, avoiding raw or cold foods, as they can increase Vata. Include ghee and oils like sesame or olive—which are grounding and nourish nerve tissues—in her diet. Spices like ginger, turmeric, and cumin can aid digestion, which might improve her appetite.

For herbal supplements, Brahmi and Ashwagandha are known for supporting cognitive function and nervous system health. Careful dosage by an Ayurvedic practitioner is advised, considering her specific condition. Additionally, Abhyanga can be beneficial—a daily warm oil massage using Vata pacifying oils can stimulate blood flow and calm the nervous system.

Behavioral changes might improve with regular routine and mild cognitive tasks tailored to her, promoting mental clarity. Simple puzzles or even repeating names and relationships could be helpful. This kind of engagement is vital.

It’s also essential to ensure she gets adequate rest; maintaining a consistent sleep schedule can help regulate Vata. In terms of emergency or immediate care, observe for any signs of confusion or deterioration and seek medical help urgently.

Yoga and meditation might be beneficial long-term but consult her healthcare provider before starting any new regimen. Social support and emotional reassurance can play a significant role in her healing process, so ensure family interaction remain gentle and understanding. Balancing traditional medical approaches with these Ayurvedic suggestions could provide her a holistic path to recovery.

My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches.

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,

A stroke can have wide ranging effects, especially when it impacts areas of the brain responsible for movement, speech, ad cognition.

In Ayurveda, stroke is often classified under PAKSHAGHATA(paralysis) or VATA VYADHI. the speech loss(aphasia) and childish behaviour may align with vata imbalance in nervous tissues

AYURVEDIC MEDICATIONS PLANNED

1)DIVYA MEDHA VATI- (Patanjali)- 1 tab twice daily after meals =for memory, stress, post-stroke confusion

2)RASRAJ RAS- (dootpapeshwar)- 1 tab once daily in morning with warm water or honey =memory and paralysis support

3)UNMADGAJAKESARI RASA-(baidyanath)- 1 tab once daily at bedtime with water =nerve tonic and mental function

4)MEMORIN-(charak)- 1 tab twice daily after meals = memory enhancer, near stimulant

5)BALARISHTA- 20 ml with equal water twice daily before meals =paralysis and hemialgia

6)TAGARA CHURNA- 5 gm with water at bedtime =speech recovery

NASYA- instill 2 drops of jyotishmati taila in each nostril daily morning these helps nourish the nervous system and helps in regaining motor and speech function

DIET -warm, soft, easily digestible food like mung dal khichdi, boiled veggies, ghee, rice -avoid dry, cld, leftover or processed foods -add garlic, ginger, turmeric, ajwain -cows ghee is especially good for brain health

LIFESTYLE -Keep her warm, avoid exposure to cold wind -simple routine, calm environment -light speech therapy-even humming, naming objects

SPEECH AND COGNITIVE REHAB even with ayurvedic treatment, speech therapy and occupational therapy are crucial -start with nonverbal communication, gestures, pictures -encourage naming common items, small words, singing -use repetitions and praise to reinforce speech -involver her in daily activities slowly

HELLO B NAGA MANI,

That’s very sad to hear about your mothers condition. Recovery after a stroke can be challenging, but with a comprehensive and well-guided approach, including Ayurvedic support alongside modern rehabilitation, improvement is Possible.

In Ayurveda, a stroke resembles PAKSHAGHAT categorized under VATAVYADHI- diseases due to deranged vata dosha, which governs nervous and motor functions. The left-sided paralysis, speech loss, childish behaviour , and memory lapse show derangement in- -VATA(particularly apana and vyana vata) -MAJJA DHATU(nervous tissue) -MANOVAHA SROTAS(mental channels) -SADHAKA PITTA and TARPAKA KAPHA(affecting emotions and cognition)

-PARALYSIS= vata obstruction in snayu and asthi -SPEECH DIFFICULTY= vitiation of vagindriya + vata -CHILD LIKE BEHAVIOUR=. manasika dosha imbalance -MEMORY ISSUES= disturbance in Medha dhatu -LOSS OF APPETITE= weak digestive fire, Apana vata imbalance -COMORBIDITIES(bp,dm, thyroid)= influence of kasha-pitta + low digestive fire

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN FOR YOUR MOTHER

PHASE 1- RESTORATIVE PANCHAKARMA(under supervised ayurvedic physician) These are gentle yet deep-cleansing therapies intended to balance VATA, open blocked channels (srotosodhana) and rejuvenate the brain.

4)NASYA- medicated nasal drops with shad Bindu taila= 7-21 days(after facial massage and fomentation)

5)SHIRODHARA- continuous pouring of warm brahmi taila on forehead= 7-14 sessions

6)PICHU/SHIROVASTI- oil retention on head- best in severe speech/mental symptoms= 7 sessions

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1)BRAHMI GHRITA- 5-10 ml with warm milk on empty stomach in morning= memory, speech, cognitive restoration

2)ASHWAGANDHA RASAYANA- 1 tsp twice daily with milk in morning and evening = rejuvenation, muscle tone, mental clarity

3)KALYANAKA GHRITA- powerful mental rejuvenator for speech, memory, depression= 5-10 ml daily with warm water after meals

4)YOGARAJ GUGGULU- 2 Tabs daily after meals= vata anulomana, joint and nerve toning

5)SMRITISAGARA RASA- 1 tab at night= enhances memory, reduces childish behaviour

6)SHANKHAPUSHPI SYRUP- 15ml daily at night= long term brain tonic

7)EKANGAVEEER RASA- 1 tab twice daily after meals= for limb paralysis and neural regrowth(take this last medicine for only 7 days)

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED

EMOTIONAL CARE- stay calm around her, avoid correcting, maintain a joyful tone

STRUCTURED ROUTINE= encourage same wake, bath, meal and sleep time

SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE= 15-20 min daily(early morning best) for mood and immunity

REST= sleep by 9:30 pm, avoid overstimulation-loud noise, news etc

COMORBODITIES MANAGEMENT 1)HYPERTENSION -SARPAGANDHA VATI- 1 tab twice daily in morning and night= lowers bp naturally -DASHMOOLA KWATH- 40ml/day after lunch= vata shaman and anti inflammatory

Dr. Rukkam Sharma
With over 7 years of dedicated clinical experience, I have been committed to practicing authentic Ayurvedic medicine with a patient-centered and root-cause-based approach. My journey as an Ayurvedic physician has allowed me to work with a wide range of patients suffering from chronic and lifestyle-related conditions. I have developed a strong foundation in diagnosing dosha imbalances and tailoring treatment protocols that include classical Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, personalized diet, and lifestyle modifications. Throughout my career, I have focused on combining traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a clear understanding of each patient’s unique constitution (prakriti) and health history. My areas of interest include managing metabolic disorders, joint and musculoskeletal issues, skin diseases, digestive problems, and gynecological conditions through time-tested Ayurvedic formulations and therapies. I am especially passionate about preventive healthcare and believe in educating patients on seasonal routines (ritucharya), daily regimens (dinacharya), and holistic wellness practices. I emphasize open communication and empathetic consultation, ensuring that each patient feels heard, supported, and motivated throughout their healing journey. My clinical background, combined with continuous learning, has helped me maintain a high standard of care and build lasting trust with my patients. I believe true healing comes not only from treating symptoms but by restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit—the core philosophy of Ayurveda.

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. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

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. 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. 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. 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. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

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. 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. Ayush Varma
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. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.
