Dr. Manjusha Vikrant Pate
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.

HELLO AANCHAL,

YOUR REPORTED SYMPTOMS -severe anxiety and panic attacks -feeling suffocated, abnormal breathing -shivering, trembling of body -chronic fatigue, oversleeping -dizziness on standing, head spinning -depression- like mood -early signs of glaucoma and sinus issues

AYURVEDIC EXPLANATION your symptoms reflects three key pathologies 1)VATA PRAKOPA- disturbed air element- causes anxiety, fear, trembling, breathlessness, insomnia, dizziness

2)KAPHA AMA SAMCHAYA- toxic build up of sluggish mucus element- leads too heaviness, depression, drowsiness , sinus congestion

3)MANASIKA DOSHA IMBALANCE(rajas-tamas aggravation)- overthinking(rajas)+lethargy, hopelessness(tamas).

MENTAL LAYER -In ayurveda, the mind(Manas) is governed by satva(clarity), rajas(activity), and tamas(inertia) . you’re like facing -EXCESS RAJAS->panic, restlessness -EXCESS TAMS->sleepiness, sadness, dullness

SINUS AND GLAUCOMA CONNECTION -sinus congestion suggests kapha build up in the head. this can affect prana and worsen anxiety. -glaucoma (if raised intraocular pressure) needs extra care as some oils are contraindicated

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify vata dosha -clear kapha accumulation -balance rajas and tamas -nourish and strengthen the nervous system -improve quality of sleep -reduce panic response -enhance energy and clarity -prevent progression -restore emotional resilience

THE GOAL IS TO CALM, CLEANSE, NOURISH, AND STABILIZE YOUR MIND AND BODY AT THE ROOT LEVEL, NOT JUST MASK THE SYMPTOMS

MORNING ROUTINE 1)MANAS MITRA VATAKAM- 1 tab with warm water or bhrami ghrita for 3 months =brain tonic, anti-anxiety, strengthens intellect

2)SMRITISAGAR RASA- 125 mg with honey for 2 months =nerve relaxant, balance vata in mind

3)ASHWAGANDHARISHTA- 20 ml + 20 ml water after breakfast for 3 months =nervous system rejuvinator, vata pacifying

MIDDAY

1)MEDHYA RASAYANA CHURNA- 5 gm with warm water for 3 months = cognitive and mental rejuvinator

2)SUTSHEKHAR RAS- 125 mg with honey or ghee for 2 months =helps with acidity linked to anxiety

EVENING AND BEDTIME

1)SARAWARISHTA- 15 ml+ equal water after dinner for 3 months =sleep enhancer, mind relaxant

2)JATAMANSI CAPSULE- 1 cap with warm milk at bedtime =deep calming for overactive nervous system

3)PRAVAL PISHTI- 125 mg with honey at night =cools heart and mind for palpitations and dizziness

OPTIONAL AND SUPPORTIVE

1)IF TREMORS ARE SEVERE- VATAKULANTAKA RAS - 1 tab at night only for one month

2)IF SLEEP IS DISTURBED- TAGAR OR SARPAGANDHA TABLETS- 1 tab for 2weeks

3)FOR SINUS AND CONGESTION- SHITOPALADI CHURNA+YASHTIMADHU CHURNA- 3 gms twice daily with honey= one of the best for sinus congestion

ADVISED PANCHAKARMA IF FEASIBLE

1)SHIRODHARA- daily or alternate days for 7-14 days =deeply calming for nervous system

2)ABHYANGA(warm oil massage with brahmi taila)- daily or 3-4 times /week(can also be done at home) =grounds vata, relaxes body, improves circulation

3)NASYA- also can be done at home -instill 2 drops of brahmi ghee in each nostril daily in morning empty stomach =clears sinuses, lifts mental fog

DIET PLAN FOR ANXIETY AND FATIGUE

WHAT TO EAT -warm , cooked, oily, nourishing food -moong dal khichdi with ghee -soups=vegetables, lentils if non veg then bone broth -rice, sweet potato, pumpkin -warm milk with nutmeg or turmeric every night -cow ghee- 1 tsp daily

HERBAL TEAS- ginger, tulsi tea; brahmi tea, ashwagandha tea

AVOID -caffeine-tea, coffee,energy drinks -fried or dry snacks- chips , popcorn etc -fermented foods-pickles, vinegar -cold foods and drinks- ice cream, cold water -skipping meals or irregular eating

LIFESTYLE TIPS

-WAKE UP BEFORE 7 AM= aligns with natures rhythm and calms vata

-FOLLOW A FIXED ROUTINE= vata calms when there’s predictability

DAILY YOGA= 15-30 MIN-especially forward bends -marjaryasana-bitilasana- 5-7 rounds -balasana- 1-2 min -adho Mukta svanasana- 1 min -tadasana- 1-2 min -paschimmotanasana- 1-2 min -viparita karani- 5-7 min

PRANAYAM -Anulom-vilom- 5 ins -bhramari- 5-7 rounds -sheetali/sheetkari- 5 min

MEDITATION= 5-10min After pranayam, sit or lie down and relax

focus on mantra like -“SO HUM”- I am that -“OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI” peace

-use Japa Mala if helpful -guided meditation- calm breathing or body scan

AVOID strong inversions(like headstand) due to dizziness/glaucoma risk Do poses slowly suddens standing can worsen spinning sensations use support- wall, pillow, block when needed

SUN EXPOSURE- 15 mins= support vitamin D and mood

SLEEP EARLY- by 10 pm= nervous system repair, melatonin regulation

AVOID -skipping meals or erratic schedules -late night screen use or phone scrolling -cold water baths or food -excess physical or mental exertion

SINCE YOU MENTIONED EARLY GLAUCOMA AVOID -excess stress- increase eye pressure -straining or bending head down for log -self medicating with eye drops without proper diagnosis

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY TO SEE RESULTS IN 3 MONTHS

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Hello, Please do check your thyroid profile, Vit. B12, Serum calcium, Vit.D3, Hb% just to rule out for any deficiencies. The following if practiced for long time consistently will help a lot to come out from the condition: 1. Take one on one yoga-pranayama classes on daily basis; avoid meditation for now. 2. Learn some good and simple chanting from a learned person. 3. Practice mindfulness in all the activities. 4. Include raw salads, nuts-seeds and lots of fruits into your daily dose of diet. 5. If you are on caffeine, reduce it to one to two cups a day.

Along with above following medicines to be used for 90 days: 1. Saraswatarishtam(plain) 20ml—0----20ml A/F 2. Kalyanaka ghritam capsules 2-----0----2 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner

Take care. Kind regards.

Anxiety, Depression and other disorders related to the mind can only be treated when you make up ur mind to get rid of them.

❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts…

Just note the patterns n timings of the feeling and make yourself busy in that time… If you have nothing to do at that time simple do some physical activity or go for a walk or if it is possible for you concentrate on your breath(which most of the people find difficult to do)

🧘‍♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.

❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.

❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.

❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume… Let it be spiritual or positive… too much motivation can also cause depression.

✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.

✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.

✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.

✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.

💊 Medication: 💊

Panchendriya Vardhan Tailam 2 drops in each nostril early in the morning empty stomach.

Cap. Memorin(S.G.Phytopharma) 2 caps twice a day before food.

Syp. Prasham 4 tsp at bed time with lukewarm water. Tab. Manasmitra Vatak 2 tabs at bed time.

Anxiety and panic can be complex issues often rooted in imbalances in the mind-body equilibrium. In Ayurveda, these symptoms could be linked to a vitiation of the Vata dosha. Excess Vata can lead to irregular breathing, restlessness, and mental disturbances. Addressing these imbalances would be crucial to finding relief.

First, grounding the Vata dosha through diet can help. Consider including warm, cooked meals rich in good fats like ghee and cooked vegetables. Root vegetables such as sweet potatoes and carrots can provide grounding energy. Avoid cold or raw foods, as they can aggravate Vata. Regular mealtimes are helpful too, it helps to stabilize your body’s rhythm.

Incorporating herbs like Ashwagandha can be quite beneficial. Ashwagandha has adaptogenic properties that can help reduce stress and anxiety, take about 500 mg of the standardized extract twice daily after meals. Consult any local healthcare professional to adjust dosage as per your specific condition if needed.

For immediate relief, practice deep breathing exercises such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) for 10-15 minutes twice daily. This can aid in calming the mind and improving breathing patterns. Additionally, Yoga asanas like Shavasana (corpse pose) and Balasana (child’s pose) can promote relaxation and reduce anxiety symptoms.

Sleep hygiene is crucial; try to go to bed at the same time every night to help reset your body clock. Drink a glass of warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg before bed to promote restful sleep.

Remember, if symptoms persist, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions like anemia or thyroid imbalance that may be contributing to your symptoms. It’s important not to delay seeking help from medical experts if symptoms intensify, as immediate professional guidance might be necessary.

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.

persistent anxiety, panic symptoms, fatigue, dizziness, and low mood- all are significant and deserves attention .

SEVERE ANXIETY AND PANIC- shivering, suffocating ,abnormal breathing

DEPRRESION- sleeping too much and fatigue

PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS- dizziness, spinning head, tiredness

CHRONIC CONDITION- early glaucoma and sinus issues

These symptoms may stem from a combination of Vata and pitta imbalance in ayurveda, often aggravated by mental stress, poor digestion, irregular routine or emotional trauma.

TREATMENT PROTOCOL

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.

I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

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

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

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

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

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

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

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.
