Additional Treatments to Speed Up Healing

A. Ayurvedic Oils (for daily massage after Agnikarma or separately):

Jatyadi Taila or Kumkumadi Taila – Promote scar healing and improve skin texture.

Mahanarayan Taila – Useful for stiffness, especially over joints.

Application: Warm slightly and massage gently over the scar for 5–10 minutes daily.

B. Scar Tissue Massage (Post-Healing Phase)

After Agnikarma wounds heal, scar massage breaks up tight collagen.

Use circular and side-to-side motion with oils.

Helps soften and flatten raised scars.

I’ve been taking treatment for 2 months now, with 2 sittings so far, and I’m using Kaishor Guggul and Malatyadi Ghrit. But I want to know how I’ll be able to tell if this treatment is working.

HELLO HIMANSHU,

Hypertrophic scars can be persistent and difficult to treat

SCAR LOCATION- foot SYMPTOMS- tight skin, hypertrophic scar CURRENT THERPAY- agnikarma-therapeutic cautery No chronic illness

AYURVEDIC VIEW SCARS= dushta vrana(chronic wound) with shotha(inflammation) and Granthi like vriddhi(nodular overgrowth) -mainly caused by pitta-raita vitiation and kapha involvement(leading to fibrosis/thickening)

TREATMENT AIMS TO -remove dushti-toxicity -enhance romana-healing -balance tridosha and promotes rakta suddhi

INTERNALLY TAKE

1)GUGGULU TIKTA GHRITA- potent internal medicine for your case -15 ml daily before meals with warm water -Combines the deep detox of tikta(bitter) herbs with guggulu -heals chronic skin conditions, shrinks scar overgrowth by resolving Ama and Granthi -works especially well where Malyatyadi ghrita fails

2)MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA + GANDHAK RASAYANA COMBO -mahamanjisthadi kashaya- 40 ml twice daily -gandhak rasayana- 500mg with warm water twice daily after food

-manjistha purifies blood tissue and clears pigmentation and inflammation -gandhak rasayana is sulphur based , highly rejuvinatize for chronic skin/scar tissue and enhances skin tone, reduces stiffness

3)KANCHANAR GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice a day with warm water -breaks down granthi(hard fibrous tissue) -clears kapha+meda+mamsa dushti causing tissue overgrowth

4)RAKTAMOKSANA -particularly good for scars with redness, inflammation, or itching -clears vitiated rakta and pitta, reducing hardness and improving texture -methods- leech therapy or prachnna at clinic

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1)KUMKUMADI TAILA+MANJISTHA CHURNA PASTE -mix 5 drops of kumkumadi taila+ 1 tsp manjistha powder + rose water -apply to scar daily for 20 minutes , then wash

kumkumadi regenerates cells and removes hyperpigmentation manjistha is a natural blood purifier and scar fading drug

2)TAMRA BHASMA+SHATDHAUTA GHRITA -very potent for fibrous/keloid type scar -antifibrotic, antibacterial , enhances micro circulation

LOCAL PROCEDURES YOU CAN GO FOR IF AGNI KARMA ISN’T ENOUGH WORKING

1)KSHARA KARMA- application of alkaline paste like apamarga kshara -destroys excess tissue in hypertrophi/keloid scars -more effective than agnikarma in fibrous, raised scars

THINGS TO AVOID -avoid trauma, friction, or over scratching the scar -avoid oily, spicy, or junk food -avoid exposure to direct heat or cold on the scar

-GENTLE MASSAGE with warm oil daily -turmeric milk at night with pinch of black pepper drink -yoga to improve blood circulation

TIMELINE TO SEE RESULTS

INTERNALMEDICATIONS- onset of visible effects= 2-3 weeks, full effect= 3 months

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS- onset of visible effects= 10-15 days, full effect- 2-3 months

AGNIKARMA/KSHARA KARMA- onset of visible effects= 2-4 sessions, full effects= 6-8 weeks

CAUTION -Do not apply raw turmeric , garlic, or harsh scrubs- they worsens scars -dont abruptly stop agnikarma

OPTIONAL MODERN SUPPPORT -SILICON GEL SHEETS OR ONION EXTRACT GELS- for scar flattening -FRACTIONAL LASER/MICRONEEDLING

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

You have mentioned that you are seeing clear result?? So if you are observing visible results then continue with the same treatment N along with that you can use kumkumadi taila just 1 to 2 drop gentle massage locally to be done

With over 18 years of dedicated Ayurvedic practice, I have focused extensively on treating skin and hair disorders, integrating classical Panchakarma therapies with individualized care. A major aspect of my clinical approach involves Upakarma procedures—supportive therapies within Panchakarma—which I customize based on each patient’s Prakriti (constitutional type). I believe true healing begins when treatments are aligned with the body’s natural balance, and this philosophy guides every aspect of my work. My specialization includes the preparation and use of Ayurvedic formulations that I personally design, including face packs, hair packs, body oils, and facial oils—each one carefully selected and recommended according to the patient’s specific dosha and skin/hair condition. These formulations are result-oriented and rooted in time-tested Ayurvedic principles, ensuring safe, natural, and sustainable outcomes. In my practice, Ayurvedic facials are more than just cosmetic procedures; they are therapeutic treatments tailored to the unique constitution of each individual, aiming to restore inner and outer harmony. By incorporating dosha-based skincare routines and traditional beauty therapies, I help patients achieve visible improvement in conditions like pigmentation, acne, hair fall, and premature aging—without relying on chemical-based solutions. My goal is to blend classical Ayurveda with a practical, patient-focused approach. Whether managing chronic skin concerns, offering customized herbal solutions, or delivering rejuvenative Panchakarma therapies, I ensure each treatment is deeply personalized, holistic, and rooted in authentic Ayurvedic wisdom.

Agnikarma can indeed be an effective treatment for hypertrophic scars, especially when we consider its benefits mentioned in texts like Sushruta Samhita for managing stubborn skin conditions. It’s considered a powerful procedure for managing local conditions. However, the time it takes to heal varies greatly depending on factors like the size of the scar, your skin type, and overall health. It’s not uncommon for patients to notice improvements over a period of several weeks to months. Remember to follow the instructions provided by your Ayurvedic practitioner closely, as they can offer personalized guidance based on your progress.

Along with the ongoing agnikarma, integrating specific dietary and lifestyle support can aid your healing process. Eating a balanced diet that pacifies Pitta dosha might be beneficial, as hypertrophic scars can sometimes be aggravated by excess heat or Pitta imbalance. Consider incorporating cooling and hydrating foods into your meals such as cucumber, cilantro, and mung beans.

Externally, applying balaswagandhadi thailam or similar vata-pitta balancing oils might help in softening the scar tissue. Gently massaging the affected area once a day can improve circulation and promote healing. However, make sure the skin is not raw or inflamed during this procedure.

Practicing gentle yoga or pranayama can enhance overall circulation and oxygenation throughout your body, indirectly supporting skin regeneration. Ensure you continue any regimens or exercises that are advised by healthcare professionals.

Avoid direct excessive exposure to sunlight on the scar, as it might cause further irritation or discoloration. When stepping out, cover the area if possible or use a recommended natural sunscreen.

While these suggestions can complement your ongoing treatment, regular follow-ups with your Ayurvedic physician will be essential to monitor healing and make any necessary adjustments. Supportive treatments can enhance the effects of agnikarma, leading to a comprehensive approach to healing.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

HELLO HIMANSHU,

Hypertrophic scars are raised , thickened areas of skin that develop where skin has healed after an injury.

AGNIKARMA FOR HYPERTROPHIC SCAR:-

PURPOSE- reduces hardness, improves circulation and helps flatten the scar tissue

DURATION- typically, visible improvement starts in 4-6 weeks, depending on the depth and chronicity of the scar.

FREQUENCY- weekly or bi-weekly sessions are common

COMPLETE RESULTS- may take 2-3 months for substantial improvement

LOCAL APPLICATIONS

1) JATYADI TAILA- wound healer and tissue regenerator dose- apply twice daily - morning and before bed- over the scar Duration- minimum 6-8 weeks or until scar softens and flattens =promote wound healing, reduce fibrosis and improve skin texture

2) KUMKUMADI TAILA- for skin rejuvenation and discolouration dose- apply at night, after jatyadi taila dries or alternate days duration- continue fr 2-3 months = enhances complexion, reduces pigmentation, softens scar tissue. very effective in post-injury scar aesthetics

3) LUKEWARM CASTOR OIL MASSAGE -small amount, gently massaged for 5-10 minutes before bath =reduces stiffness, deeply moisturises and promotes elasticity

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS these formulations support blood purification , tissue regeneration, and scar remodelling from within

1) MAHAMANJISTHADI KWATHA- 15 ml with water twice daily before meals for 8-12 weeks = detoxifies blood, reduce chronic inflammation, and promote healthy skin formation

2) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI- 1 tab twice daily after meals for 4-6 weeks =potent liver detox and blood purifier supports skin health, balances pitta and rakta vitiation- both crucial in hypertrophic scars

3) GHANDHAK RASAYANA- 1 tab twice daily after meals = helps purify micro channels, supports collagen repair and clears toxins from skin

Since you are already on Agnikarma, this protocol supports and enhances its effect

BEFORE AGNIKARMA- clear with triphala decoction

AFTER AGNIKARMA- apply aloe vera pulp or shatdhauta ghrita to cool and protect the tissue

FREQUENCY- weekly 4-6 sessions, then reaseess

WHY- agnikarma breaks down dense collagen in the scar. the above protocol softens and regenerates the tissue for better results

DIET AND LIFESTYLE

INCLUDE -warm , freshly prepared food -ghee- enhances absorption of herbs and supports immunity -green leafy veggies, pomegranate, turmeric, amla -herbal teas- coriander, cumin, fennel

AVOID -sour and spicy food -fermented items -excessive exercise or friction at scar site

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

I am an Ayurvedic Gynaecologist working mostly with women who’ve been struggling silently with their cycles, hormonal issues or other chronic things that they feel just aren’t getting solved with regular meds. I focus on using classical Ayurvedic medicine — not some generic formula, but stuff that’s really matched to their dosha, lifestyle, history etc. Honestly, many of them come to me after trying everything else n still not feeling right... and I totally get that frustration. My main area is managing gynaecological problems like PCOS, irregular periods, heavy bleeding, painful cycles, white discharge, infertility, and even menopause-related discomfort — all through an Ayurvedic lens. I don’t just treat the symptom n send them off... I look at the root cause. Sometimes it’s digestion, sometimes stress, sometimes a history of long medication use — every case is different. I use a mix of Shamana Aushadhi (internal palliative meds), rasayana support, and if needed, Panchakarma therapies (like uttar basti for chronic cases). Lot of people don’t realise how deep Ayurveda can go in women’s health. It’s not just oil massage n detox — it’s a full system that can restore balance when applied right. I work closely with each patient — listen fully, go through their history, explain what’s going on, then offer a practical plan that’s doable even if they’re busy or tired or scared things won’t change. I'm here for women who feel dismissed or unheard... whether it's teenage hormonal acne, repeated UTIs, or things like ovarian cysts or thin endometrium. If your cycle or your system feel "off" but no one's really connecting the dots — that’s where Ayurveda really shines. And I’m happy to help bridge that gap.

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

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. 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.

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

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

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