Hello mohan I can understand your concern regarding Androgenetic alopecia bur dont worry we are here to help you out!!

See i have seen significant changes in my patients having alopecia but it is really a long duration treatment you have to be consistent with treatment.

✅FIRST 3-4 MONTHS TO STOP THE PROGRESSION OF HAIR LOSS

✅ NEXT 1-2 MONTH OF STANGANT THAT IS NO PROGRESSION AND NO HAIR GROWTH

✅AFTER THIS SLOWELY HAIR GROWTH WILL START

✅ SO CONSIDER THIS AS A YEAR PROGRAM!!!

IN ALOPECIA MAIN TREATMENT WILL BE PANCHAKARMA ☑️you have to go to nearby center for this therapies ☑️You have to repeat this treatment every 3 months ☑️This treatment will be for 7 days

🔴PANCHKARMA🔴 1. Shiro abhynaga with Malatyadi taila 2. Hair loss patches is scrubed with incha ( natural scrub) - this scrubing will activate your hair follicles and improve your blood circulation 3. Thalapozichila - ( it is a renowned kerala ayurvedic therapy where in the medicated paste is applied on the head and covered it with bananana leaves)

🔴INTERNAL MEDICATION🔴 1. vidangaristham 30 ml-0-30ml after food 2. Groo 1-0-1 after food 3. Thickshoot A 1-0-1 after food 4. Jeevamrutham 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water

🔴EXTERNAL TREATMENT🔴 1. Durdurpatradi taila + Durvadi thaila - mix and apply on the head half hour before bath 2. Indralupta mashi - this is black color powder mix it with water and apply on the hair loss patches daily 3. Use chemical free hair wash

🔴LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION🔴 1. Do pranayanam 2. Yoga, meditation 3. Journalling

I can understand that such condition takes troll on your mental health but dont stress as stress will again aggrevate the condition

This will definaetly work if you are consistent with the treatment I have seen changes in many patients i know it is very difficult to suffer with such condition, i wull be very greatful if i could bring change in your life!!

Addressing hairfall and dandruff naturally through Ayurveda involves a comprehensive approach, focusing on balancing your doshas, improving your overall health, and using natural remedies. A receding hairline and grey hair at 21 suggests a Pitta imbalance, exacerbated by stress, lifestyle choices, or genetic predispositions.

Firstly, calming Pitta dosha is crucial. Avoid spicy and fried foods, as they can aggravate Pitta. Instead, consume cooling foods like coconut, cucumber, and fennel. Incorporate fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and consider herbal teas like chamomile and hibiscus, which are soothing.

Oiling your hair regularly with cooling oils like Brahmi, Amla, or coconut oil can help nourish the scalp and hair. Warm the oil slightly before applying, massaging gently into the scalp. Leave it overnight if comfortable, and wash it off in the morning. Perform this twice a week consistently.

Use a natural, herbal shampoo once or twice a week. Avoid harsh chemicals that strip away natural oils. Look for shampoos with amla, hibiscus, or reetha, known for promoting hair health. To tackle dandruff, a paste of neem leaves can be applied to your scalp and washed off after 30 minutes. Neem is excellent for its antibacterial properties.

Stress reduction is also key. Practice yoga or meditation daily to calm the mind. Breathing exercises like Pranayama, especially Sheetali or Nadi Shodhana, can balance Pitta and reduce stress.

For grey hair, apply a mixture of Amla powder and henna mixed with water. Amla is potent in restoring natural hair color and preventing premature greying. Leave it on the hair for about an hour before washing off, doing this every fortnight.

Ensure your diet is rich in iron, zinc, and proteins to encourage healthy hair growth. Consider consuming soaked almonds, walnuts, and other nuts daily for vital nutrients.

If the hair fall continues to be severe or you notice bald spots, you may wish to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for an even more tailored guidance. Remember, changes can take time, patience and consistent effort with natural remedies will eventually pay off.

HELLO MOHAN,

You’re experiencing- -severe dandruff- itchy, flaky scalp- indicates scalp infection or dryness -hairfall for 3 years -receding hairline-early baldness, stage 2 of androgenetic alopecia -greying of hair at age 21 -you don’t want allopathy -no chronic illness

In Ayurveda, your problem is called KHALITYA-PALITYA caused by- Imbalance of Pitta and Vata Dosha -pitta causes early greying, weak hair roots -vata causes dry scalp, dandruff, brittle hair -weak digestion, this leads to miniaturisation of hair follicles, ,thinning, and baldness

What’s happening to your Hair? -your testosterone is converting into DHT(dihydrotestosterone) which attacks hair roots-this is common in men. -liver may not be detoxing well- a hidden cause of hair and skin issues -you may also have malabsorption- meaning your digestion isn’t providing nutrients to hair.

This condition is Khalitya+Palitya due to pitta-bata dushti with underlying Rasa-Rakta dhatu kshaya- weak blood and nutrient plasma.

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT MANAGEMENT DURATION- 3 to 6 months

1)BHRINGARAJASAVA- 20 ml+ 20 ml water after meals, twice daily =potent rasayana for hair follicle revival (Arya Vaidya sala/ baidyanth brand compulsory)

2)BRAHMI VATI- 1 tab morning and night =calms nervous system, reduces DHT via stress control (Patanjali / unjha brand )

3)CHITRAKADI VATI- 1 tab before lunch and dinner with warm water =enhances digestion, clears toxins (baidyanath brand)

4)PRAWAL PANCHAMRIT RAS- 125 mg with honey in morning =controls scalp heat, premature greying (baidyanath brand)

5)NARASIMHA RASAYANA(GHEE-BASED)- 1 tsp with warm milk on empty stomach =strengthens tissues, improves texture (kottakal brand)

6)KESHYA KALPA- 1 tsp twice a day with milk =specialised formula for hair regrowth (sandu/AVN)

EXTERNAL MANAGEMENT

1)MEDICATED OIL- ROTATE FOR BEST RESULTS -MAHABRINGARAJ TAILA- massage 3 times/week at night =regrows hair, cool scalp(baidyanth/AVS)

2)KAYYANYADI TAILA- alternate oil(esp if dandruff/ fungal) =reduces seborrheic itchy dandruff(kotakkal)

3)NEELIBRINGADI KERA TAILA- ideal for pitta-dominant scalp(heat) =very cooling, great for greying(AVP brand)

WARM OIL BEFORE APPLICATION. STEAM SCALP WITH HOT TOWEL AFTER MASSAGE.

2)MASHI APPLICATION- bhringaraj mashi+sesame oil -take bringaraj mashi-available in market -mix 2 tsp in cold-pressed sesame oil -apply gently on scalp 1-2 times/week -wash off after 1-2 hours with herbal shampoo

WHY? because Mashi is deeply penetrating, helps revitalise burnt-out follicles, and balances pitta

SHAMPOO AND CLEANSING -use these 2-3 times/week -DHURDHURAPATRADI KWATHA(liquid decoction for hair wash)- by Arya Vaidya Sala or mild shampoo with -shikakai -reetha -amla

or Kesh Kanti Anti-dandruff Shampoo-patanjai

Avoid chemical shampoos entirely.

HERBAL HAIR PACK-ONCE A WEEK -Make a paste with Amla powder- 2 tsp Bhringaraj powder- 1 tsp Aloe vera gel- 2 tsp Neem powder- 1 tsp(for dandruff) Mix with rose water or buttermilk. Apply on scalp, leave for 30-45 mins. Wash with lukewarm water.

NASYA KARMA- OIL NASAL THERAPY start after 7-10 days of internal detox use ANU TAILA- 2drops in each nostril every morning-on empty stomach -lie down with neck extended -put 2 drops in each nostril -inhale deeply and stay in that position for 5 mins

BENEFITS- improves scalp circulation, reduces hair fall, improves sleep, clears sinuses.

DIET :-

EAT MORE OF AMLA- raw or juice= hair rejuvination, natural vitamin C

CURRY LEAVES- boiled in ghee= stops greying

BLACK SESAME SEEDS-1 tsp daily= rich in calcium, hair tonic

COW GHEE-1 tsp with lunch and dinner= nourishes all 7 dhatus

WARM MILK WITH RASAYANA- restores strength to hair

AVOID STRICTLY -fermented foods- bread, idli, dosa, cheese -excess tea/coffee -cold water on head -stress, night work, irregular sleep -over washing or scrubbing scalp

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA SLEEP- by 10 pm. Hormonal balance depends on this. -Anulom-vilom= balances doshas -Sheetali/sheetkari- cools pitta -Bhramari- reduces mental tension, indirectly reduces hair fall -Balayam- nail rubbing- 10 mins/day

EXPECTED RESULTS

WEEK 1-2 = dandruff reduces, scalp cooling WEEK 3-4 = hair fat slows, itching gone MONTH 2= grey hair stabilises, new baby hair MONTH 3-6 = hair thickens, regrowth in bald areas begins

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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 MOHAN,

At 21 years old, with signs of androgenetic alopecia , severe dandruff, greying, and receding hairline, its important to act early to slow or control the condition

-Androgenetic alopecia- this is genetic and hormone driven(DHT sensitivity), typically causing hairline recession and crown thinning

-DANDRUFF could be seborrheic dermatitis or fungal - causes inflammation that worsens hairfall

-Premature greying= often linked to pitta imbalance, genetics or nutritional deficiencies

DIETARY CHANGES

EAT -amla daily- raw, juice, or as a churna -black sesame seeds- 1 tsp daily in morning -curry leaves-- raw or in cooking -cow ghee- nourishes scalps and nerves -pumpkun seeds- for zinc and DHT regulation -protein rich foods- moong dal, panner etc

AVOID -excess spicy, oily, salty and processed foods -caffeine, soft drinks, smoking -late night sleeping

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm water at night= for detox

2) BHRINGARAJ CHURNA- 1 tsp twice daily with honey and water

3) AMALAKI RASAYANA- 1 tsp daily in morning

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk reduces stress-related hairloss

5) YASHTIMADHU- 1/2 tsp in milk-supports scalp health

EXTERNAL HAIR OIL -brigaraj+brahmi+amla+neem+coconut oil massage scalp 3 times/week at night, leave overnight wash in morning

LIFESTYLE AND SCALP CARE -use mild herbal shampoo 3 times/week -use neem water rinse weekly for dandruff -avoid hot water for head bath don’t use chemical based gels/sprays

YOGA AND PRANAYAM to reduce stress -bhramari, anulom vilom, kapalbhati -sarvangasana, shirsshasana, balasana

REGULAR SLEEP -go to bed by 10-10:30 pm aim for 7-8 hours

NATURAL DANDRUFF CONTROL -NEEM LEAF PASTE - apply weekly to scalp -FENUGREEK SEED- soak overnight make paste apply30 mins before washing -Aloe vera gel- apply fresh to scalp to soothes inflammation

FOR PREMATURE GREYING -Amla juice + cure leaf powder daily -bhringaraj+black sesame paste applied weekly -avoid stress, fried foods and late nights

No treatment will give permenant results overnight- consistency for 6-12 months is needed

DO FOLLOW

THANK YOU

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.

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. 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.

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.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

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.

Dr. Neha Saini
I am Vaidya Neha Saini and Ayurveda’s not just my work—it’s kind of like my language of healing, a thing I live by, day in and out. I did my BAMS from Shree Krishna Govt Ayurvedic College in Kurukshetra and later finished MD in Ayurveda from Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune (that place had a different kind of energy honestly). With more than five yrs of clinical experience under my belt, I’ve kinda shaped my path around treating chronic issues, long-drawn imbalances and lifestyle disorders that modern life throws at people without warning. My way of working isn’t about chasing symptoms. I try to understand what’s really going on underneath—it’s like the root cause matters more than just quieting the noise. I use classical Ayurvedic principles but I also keep an eye on modern clinical understanding, ‘cause you can’t ignore how medicine’s growing every day, right? Most of my cases come in with problems like skin conditions—psoriasis, eczema, sometimes hormonal stuff like PCOS or thyroid weirdness, joint stiffness, back pains, post-stroke situations, or nervous system setbacks that need slow but steady support. And for all that, I plan treatment around them, not some fixed protocol. Which means a mix of herbs, Panchakarma detox when needed, food tweaks, even small shifts in daily routine… all matching their prakriti and vikriti. I also do online consults 'cause a lot of folks don't always get to travel or access real Ayurveda nearby. I just feel like everyone should have a shot at natural healing, even if it's through a screen. One thing I try hard to never skip: listening. Really listening to people. Sometimes they don’t even know how to say what's wrong, but they feel it—and that matters. For me, trust is the main pillar, and treatment flows from there. Ayurveda for me isn’t a toolkit or a clinic-only thing. It’s like—how you eat, sleep, breathe, connect with seasons or stress. It’s everywhere. And everytime someone walks in confused, tired or just stuck with some health loop, my aim is to sit beside them—not ahead—and figure the way out together. Not fast fixes, but deep, steady change. That's what I show up for every single time.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

Dr. Suchin M
I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

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.
