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, As you are mentioning the pain is increasing at night and also with AC, it is related to Vata imbalance. 1. Application of warm sahacharadi thaila+ murivenna to all joints(whole body is still more better) everyday followed by hot water shower 2. start wearing socks and slippers inside house if you are walikng bare foot inside the house. 3. Keep yourself warm at nights. Take care. Kind regards.

As per Ayurveda, when a pain is triggered by some cold atmosphere or cold things it is tha vata dosa that is aggravated. So we can correlate to some vata imbalance here .According to your age there is some possibility of degenerative changes of bones and joints also for accurate diagnosis please do a blood test of VITAMIN D, RA and Calcium as soon as possible. Meanwhile you can have , 1.Rasnasapthakam kwatham tab 2-0-2 before food 2.Ostikot tab 2-0-2 after food 3.Sallaki plus 1-0-1after food 4.Rhukot liniment for ext.application twice daily over painful area 5.Murivenna for ext.application 1hour before bath

The joint pain you're experiencing, especially aggravated during the night and with air conditioning, might be linked to an imbalance of Vata dosha in your system. In Ayurveda, the Vata dosha, which is characterized by coldness and mobility, often influences the nervous system and is responsible for pain that worsens in the cold or with immobility. This aligns with the way you're experiencing increased discomfort in cooler temperatures, like at night or in air-conditioned environments. To help address this discomfort, it’s crucial to stabilize and balance the Vata dosha by incorporating warmth, routine, and nourishment into your lifestyle. Here’s a few recommendations that might help improve your condition: First, applying warmth to the affected areas could help soothe the pain. Use a warm compress on your knee and elbow at a comfortable temperature, applied for about 10-15 minutes, ideally a couple of times a day. Also, avoid sitting in air-conditioned spaces for too long and dress warmly to help keep the joints warm. In terms of diet, prioritize warm, moist, and easily digestible foods. Consider incorporating spices that are known to pacify Vata, like ginger, turmeric, and cumin, which aid in digestion and circulation. Cooked meals like soups, stews, and porridges are especially beneficial. Furthermore, incorporating certain herbal supplements like Ashwagandha and Guggulu, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and joint-supportive properties, might support in reducing your symptoms. However, it's important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal supplements to ensure they’re right for your constitution and condition. Additionally, regular oil massages, known as Abhyanga with sesame oil or an oil blend tailored for Vata pacification, can also provide relief. Massage in slow, gentle strokes, focusing particularly on your knees and elbows; this can be done at least a few times a week. Engage in a consistent routine that incorporates moderate exercises, such as gentle yoga or walking, to promote circulation and prevent stiffness. Just be sure to avoid overexertion. Keep hydration in focus since Vata imbalance often leads to dryness. Drink warm or room temperature water throughout the day. If the pain persists or intensifies, it is advisable to seek attention from a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare professional for a detailed diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan. It's important to ensure there's no underlying condition that requires further medical attention.

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.
