I have been diagnosed with Hirayama disease, which has led to muscle wasting in my right hand. My fingers are weak, vibrate, and I struggle to join my little finger with the others. I'm looking forward to exploring potential treatments in Ayurveda that could offer hope for improvement in my condition.

Hirayama disease is a rare neurological condition, often affecting young adults, causing muscle wasting predominantly in one limb. In Ayurveda, though not traditionally identified like modern neurological disorders, we can aim to manage symptoms and support well-being, Addressing Vata imbalance is crucial, as Vata governs movement and nervous system function.

First, considering your symptoms, a Vata-pacifying diet would be beneficial. Favor warm, cooked meals over raw or cold foods. Incorporate foods like ghee, nuts, seeds, and spices such as ginger and turmeric. Avoid excessive caffeine, processed, and excessively dry foods, as they might aggravate Vata.

Moreover, daily practices like Abhyanga or self-oil massage with sesame oil would support circulation and strength. Warm the oil slightly and gently massage your limbs, emphasizing the affected areas. Leave the oil for 20-30 minutes before a warm bath.

Yoga practices tailored for neurological support can include gentle poses like Cat-Cow (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana) which help in maintaining spinal flexibility and strength. Pranayama techniques, such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), are key in calming the nervous system and balancing Vata dosha.

Herbal allies could include Ashwagandha, revered for its strengthening and rejuvenative properties. It may help improve muscle tone and stamina. For topical application, herbs like Bala (Sida cordifolia) can be made into a paste and applied to the hand to alleviate weakness. Please consult a certified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosage and preparation before using these.

Consistency is crucial and results take time. Any severe or sudden symptoms should be checked by conventional medical practitioners. Ayurveda aims to support and complement medical treatment not replace it in urgent neurological conditions. Balancing lifestyle and regular follow-ups, are vital for managing your health effectively.

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.

Danadanayadi kashayam+prasaranyadi kashayam 15ml+15ml+45ml of water 45 minutes before breakfast and before dinner. Take care. Kind regards.

HELLO ,

Hirayama disease(monomeric amyotrophy) is a rare, non-progressive , self-limiting lower motor neuron disorder, primarily affecting young males, involving asymmetric muscle wasting in one upper limb - often the distal hand and forearm. It’s believed to result from forward displacement of the posterior cervical dura during neck flexion, causing spinal cord compression.

NOTE:- Hirayama disease doesn’t have a DEFINITIVE cure in modern or Ayurvedic medicine, but early conservative management, including neck collar and physiotherapy, can slow progression and improve quality of life. Ayurveda may help support nerve function, muscle tone, and reduce vata imbalance, but it cannot reverse structural degeneration.

AYURVEDIC CORRELATION Hirayama disease aligns with Vata Vyadhi-especially -Apatarpana Tanya vata vyadhi- due to undernourishment or tissue depletion -Mamsa(muscle) kshaya, snayugata vata and majjagata vata features -Resembles neurological degenerative diseases such as pakshaghata, ekangavata or bahu shosha

CAUSES- improper posture, overexertion, bata-provoking diet, stress, growth spurt-in young males DOSHA- vata predominant(apana and vaya vata) DUSHYA- mamsa, majja, asthi, snayu(muscle,marrow, nerves, ligaments) SROTAS- majjavaha, mamsa vaha SROTORODHA AND DHATUKSHAYA- neuromuscular degeneration

I Strongly suggest you to visit good ayurvedic clinic and get checkup done and suggest you to go for panchakarma as Vata disorders respond excellently to snehana, swedana and basti. A complete protocol over 45-90 days(in cycles) is advised A)preparatory procedure -ABHYANGA WITH MAHANARAYAN TAILA OR BALA TAILA daily for 30 min =improves circulation, reduces vata, nourishes muscle

B)SWEDANA- patra pinda sweda or shashtika schalie pinda sweda -warm bolus of rice or herbs applied to affected area -helps regain muscle tone, reduces stiffness

MAIN PANCHAKARMA -BASTI= alternate ANUVASANA(OIL) and NIRUHA(decoction) bastis for 16-30 days =best therapy for your case, regenerate and nourishes tissues afected

ANUVASANA BASTI WITH KSHEERBALA TAILA(60-80ML)= alternate on every 2nd day

NIRUHA BASTI WITH ERANDAMOOLA RASNA(300-500ML)= alternate days

-SHIRODHARA WITH BRAHMI TAILA= 45 min daily for 7 days =reduces anxiety, improves neurological-muscular coordination

-KATI BASTI ON CERVICAL SPINE WITH MAHAMASHA TAILA= daily 20 mins =relieves nerve compression , strengthens muscles

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS ADVISED TO TAKE

1)ASHWAGANDHA GHAN VATI- 1 tab twice daily in morning and at night with warm milk =rejuvination, nourishes and give strength

2)BALA CHURNA- 5 gm twice daily with warm ghee =muscle tissue nourishment

3)KSHEERBALA 101 AVARTI- 10 drops twice daily in milk after meals =nervus tissue nourishment

4)MAHARASNADI KASHAYA- 30 ml twice daily with warm water before meals =neuromuscular pain and stiffness

5)DASHMOOLA KASHAYA- 20 ml twice daily after food with warm water =anti-vata, rejuvination

6)YOGARAJ GUGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =balances vata, reduce tremors

7)VATAGAJANKUSHA RAS- 1 tab at night with warm water =strong vata pacifier

AFTER PANCHAKARMA AND TAKING INTERNAL MEDICINE FOR 3 MONTHS

THEN START REJUVINATION THERAPY

1)ASHWAGANDHA AVALEHA- 1tsp twice daily with milk for muscle and nervous health

2)CHYAWANPRASHA(NOSUGAR )- 1 tsp daily in morning =rejuvination and nourishes ojus

3)SHATAVARI GHRITA- 1 tsp twice daily with warm water after meals =nourishes majja and strengthen nerves

DIET -warm, soft, oily, nourishing meals -milk, ghee, boiled veggies, moong dal, rice, wheat -dates, figs, almonds(soaked), sesame seeds -milk with ashwagandha daily

AVOID -cold,dry,stale,raw or spicy food -heavy legumes(chana), brinjal, potatoes in excess -excess tea, coffee, aerated drinks -fasting, skipping meals, junk food

YOGA ADVISED -bhujangasana -matsyasana -shalabhasana (to strengthen neck and spine)

-Vrikshasana for balance -suryanamaskar- 5 cycles daily

PRANAYAM -NADI SODHANA- clears nerve pathways -BHRAMARI- claming, improves brain function -UJJAYI-imporves coordination and breath control

MUDRAS -VAYU MUDRA- relieves tremor -APANA VAYU MUDRA practice for 15 mins/day

PHYSIOTHERAPY -hand grip exercises, wrist flexion/extension training -use of Neuromuscular electric stimulation(NMES)

Hirayama disease requires long-term management. Ayurveda offers a supportive and holistic strategy to slow progression, nourish nerves, and improve muscle strength and coordination. The best outcomes happen when ayurveda is combined with physiotherapy

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPUL

THANK YOU

It is a neurological disorder. According to ayurveda we can consider it as a vatavyadhi.

Along with medication you can adopt some exercises to maintain range of motion. Exercises will preserve strength and improve posture.

Avoid neck flexion and activities that worsen symptoms.

1. Roll shoulders forward and backward slowly . 2. Rotate wrists in both directions. 3. Swing arm forward/ back gently while keeping neck neutral. 4. Open and spread fingers wide, then make a fist. 5. Slowly bend and straighten elbows. 6. You can use stress balls- squeeze it for 5 seconds and release. 7. Play with rubber band- place then around fingers and spread them apart. 8. Some shouder shrugs - lift shoulders up towards ear and relax

Any of these exercises causes pain, stop that one. Controlled and slow movements are to followed.

Medications: 1. Danadanayanadi kashayam 15 ml+45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food. 2. Maharaja prasarani tailam soft gel capsule 1-0-1 before food/ along with kashayam. 3. Maharaja prasarani tailam for external application - mainly over the neck area and hand , overall back muscles. 4. Kachooradi choornam as talam after bath.

Don’t stress yourself, keep calm Follow these medications, you will slowly relieved of your condition.

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. 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. Prasad Pentakota
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. 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. 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. 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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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. 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.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.
