HELLO SASWATI,

1) SIZE MATTERS- stones above 5mm, like the 8mm stone mentioned, are less likely to pass spontaneously. There’s a risk of blockage, which can cause acute pain, jaundice or pancreatitis.

2) MONITOR SYMPTOMS- if there is fever, jaundice, vomiting or severe pain, immediate hospitalisation is necessary.

3) HYPERTENSION- since. she is on Telma H 40, her blood pressure must be regularly monitored.

TAKE INTERNALLY

1) TAMRA BHASMA- 50 mg with honey once daily = breaks down stones, improves bile metabolism

2) SHANKHA BHASMA- 250 mg with water after meals =reduces acidity, helps bile flow

3) SOOTSHEKHAR RAS- 250 mg with honey twice daily =anti inflammatory, balances pitta

4) PATHARCHUR fresh juice- 15 ml daily on empty stomach =literal “stone dissolver” diuretic

5) VARUNADI Ghrita - 10ml twice daily before meals with water = dissolves gallstones, detoxifies

6) PITTASHEKHAR RAS- 125 mg twice daily after meals = pitta disorder, improves digestion, stone relief

HOME FORMULATION -varuna churna+ bhumyamalaki churna + gokshur churna + yavakshara + punarnava churna = mix all in equal parts, take 1 tsp twice daily with warm water after meals. continue for 3 months, then re-evaluate with repeat ultrasound.

* SOME REMEDIES ADVERTISED ONLINE LIKE APPLE CIDER VINGAR, OLIVE OIL FLUSES OR STRONG PURGATIVES CAN TRIGGER GALLBLADDER ATTACKS OR BILE DUCT BLOCKAGE AND SHOOULD BE AVOIDED.

DIETARY GUIDLINESS -Warm water, boiled veggies, rice -moong dal, lauki, apple, papaya - turmeric, coriander, jeera, ajwain

AVOID STRICTLY -oily, fried, spicy, sour foods -eggs, red meat, full fat diet - tea, coffee, carbonated drinks

IF FEASIBLE CAN OPT FOR PANCHAKARMA -VIRECHANA- clears liver- biliary system -ABHYANGA+ SWEDANA= improves bile flow -MILD YOGA- pawanmuktasana, bhujangasana - avoid during pain

Repeat ultrasound every 3-4 months to monitor stone size -if stone enlarges or if pain worsens, surgical intervention may become necessary despite conservative care.

THANK YOU

Hello, If the size is 8mm and if she has the symptoms like pain, it is better to opt for surgical intervention without much wait. Take care. Kind regards.

Dear,An 8 mm gallstone is considered moderate in size, and while Ayurvedic treatments may help in some cases, it’s important to understand that Ayurveda can manage symptoms, reduce stone formation, and sometimes help dissolve small stones, but success is not guaranteed,especially if the stone is already causing complications. Also seing ultrasound is important,if the stone position is on neck of gall duct, surgery is only solution.

HELLO SASWATI MUKHERJEE,

WHAT ARE GALLSTONES? Gallstones are solid deposits that form in the gallbladder- a small organ beneath the liver that stores bile(used in digestion). These stones are mostly made of cholesterol or bilirubin

IN AYURVEDA, Gallstones are referred to as “PITTASHMRI”- a type of Ashmari(stone disorder) caused by -imbalanced pitta osha-excessive heat, bile -faulty digestion-agin mandya -improper metabolism of fats -poor lifestyle and diet habits

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS -8 mm is a moderate-size stone. stones over 5 mm are less likely to dissolve completely through any method other than surgery -Ayurvedic treatment may take months -regular monitoring with ultrasound is essential to track changes in stone size. -if pain becomes severe or signs of infection, jaundice or pancreatitis appear, surgery may becomes UNAVOIDABLE

TREATMENT GOAL -dissolve existing stones- lekhana karma -improve liver and gallbladder function -enhance bile flow and prevent new stones -address symptoms like pain, heaviness and nausea.

INTERNALLY TAKE

1. AROGYAVARDHINI VATI- 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3-6 months =liver detox, bile flow, reduces inflammation

2. TAMRA BHASMA- 45 mg once daily with honey for 30 days only =known to help stone, breakdown, balances pitta

3. PUNARNAVA MANDUR- 1 tab twice daily before food for 3-6 months =diuretic, anti-inflammatory, helps with liver-kidney detox

4. BHUMYAMLAKI CHURNA- 1 tsp powder twice daily after meals with ghee for 6months =stone breaker, helps dissolve stones slowly

5. LIV 52 DS(himalaya)- 1 tab twice daily after meals for long term =liver support, improves digestion, reduces bile stasis

6. TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp at bedtime with warm wtaer for 3-6 months =regulates digestion and detoxifies colon.

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED STRICLTY -warm water with lemon juice in the morning= stimulates bile -boiled veggies- bottle gourd, pumpkin, carrots, spinach -mung dal khichdi- easy to digest and detoxifying -fruits- apple, papaya, pear, pomegranate -Buttermilk-diluted, spiced with cumin and ajwain -Whole grains- barley, oats, red rice -Flaxseed powder- 1 tsp/day- regulates cholesterol

AVOID -fried, spicy and oily foods -red meat, eggs, butter , ghee -cheese, panner, cream, ice cream -chocolates, pastries, cakes -cold water, aerated drinks, alcohol, smoking -heavy legumes like rajma, chana- gas forming

YOGA ASANA FOR GALLBLADDER HEALTH These improve digestion, reduce bile stagnation , and relieve abdominal discomfort

-Bhujangasana= stimulates gallbladder and liver -Dhanurasana= tones abdominal organs -Pawanmuktasana= eases digestion and gas -Ardha Matsyendrasana= enhances liver and gall bladder health -Vajrasana(after meals)= aids digestions

AVOID inverted poses like Sarvangasana or Halasana, which may worsen abdominal pressure

REMEMBER 1. MEAL TIMING IS CRITICAL- eat at fixed times to support digestion 2. STAY HYDRATED- drink warm water throughout the day avoid cold water 3. AVOID STRESS- practice pranayam like Anulom Vilom or Sheetali to cool down pitta 4. No SKIPPING MEALS OR FASTING- it aggravates pitta and worsens gallstone formation. 5. USE SPICES WISELY- turmeric, coriander, cumin, and fennel aid bile flow and digestion

WHEN TO CONSIDER SUGERY? despite all above treamtent if, -pain becomes recurrent or severe -stobe bocks the bile duct -inflammation(cholecystitis) occurs -no changes in size after 6–9 months of treamtent

Then CHOLECYSTECTOMY may be necessary

Ayurveda works slowly and gently, aiming at root-cause correction. but it needs patience consistent lifestyle

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

For gallbladder stones, particularly those above 5 mm, which include your wife’s 8 mm stone, it’s essential to tread carefully. Anytime symptoms are present, such as abdominal pain and digestive issues, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional first. Surgical intervention, like cholecystectomy, is a common recommendation in allopathy when the risks associated with gallstones, such as inflammation or blockage, are significant.

However, there are Ayurvedic strategies to manage gallstones carefully. Begin by supporting the body’s natural ability to balance and eliminate imbalances that could be causing stone formation. Ensure this is done under professional guidence:

Diet is always a first focus. Encourage Saswati to follow a Pitta-pacifying diet that is light, warm, and not excessively oily. Foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains which are easy to digest can support her system. Avoid spicy, fried or sour foods that may aggravate the condition.

Triphala churna, an Ayurvedic herbal remedy, can aid digestion and elimination, helping manage digestive health. Mix a teaspoon of Triphala powder in warm water and consume it before bedtime.

Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa) is another potentially beneficial herb for liver health. It can be taken in capsule form, but dosages should be personalized by an Ayurvedic practitioner according to her constitution.

Punarvana (Boerhavia diffusa), a traditional herb, might assist in balancing fluid retention and may aid in alleviating symptoms associated with gallstones. Again, consult with an Ayurvedic professional for the correct dose.

Include ghee as a healthy fat source in moderation to promote healthy bile flow but avoid if her Pitta is severely imbalanced.

Continuous medical monitoring is essential. Ayurveda can be a complementary approach; however, if symptoms like severe pain, jaundice, or fever arise, immediately seek conventional medical attention. Regular check-ins with her healthcare provider is important to evaluate her condition and treatment efficacy.

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. 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. 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. 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.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

I am working in the field of Ayurveda with special focus on surgical and para-surgical management, something that many people don’t usually expect Ayurveda to handle. Over the past 3 years and 7 months I gained clinical experience especially in anorectal disorders like piles, fissures and fistula, which often trouble patients silently until they become unbearable. These are conditions where Ayurveda offers very effective approaches, not only through medicines but also through para-surgical procedures. One such method is Ksharasutra therapy, a technique I practiced regularly, where medicated thread is used to treat fistula-in-ano and other chronic conditions. It is minimally invasive but require patience, regular follow up, and careful application. Similarly, I trained in Agnikarma, which uses controlled thermal cauterization for pain relief and management of small surgical conditions. Both of these methods are rooted in classical Ayurveda but highly relevant in modern surgical practice too. Alongside that, I also worked with various Panchakarma procedures—oleation, sudation, basti, virechana etc.—that support recovery, reduce inflammation and restore balance in patients undergoing surgical or para-surgical care. Many times, Panchakarma is not just therapy by itself but a preparatory or supportive process that makes outcomes more effective. Currently I am pursuing postgraduation in Shalya Tantra, the Ayurvedic branch of surgery. This allows me to deepen my understanding of both operative and para-operative techniques, while also staying rooted in the holistic principles of Ayurveda. It’s demanding, balancing study and practice, but it keeps me constantly improving. For me surgery in Ayurveda is not only about removing disease but about restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life without unnecessary complications. Each patient is different, and the treatment plan always need adjustment—it is never copy paste medicine. That is something I keep learning again and agian.

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. 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 am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. 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.
