Doctors’ responses

HELLO BHARATEE MEHER,

Based on your symptoms -you feel the food is not being absorbed -you have to go to the toilet frequently after meals -you’re underweight and unable to gain weight

These symptoms suggest one or more of the following- 1)MALABSORPTION SYNDROME- your body is not absorbing nutrients properly

2)IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME(IBS)- diarrhoea predominant= overactive intestines, triggered especially after meals

3)HYPERACIDITY OR WEAK DIGESTIVE FIRE= as per ayurveda, if digestion is weak, food is not properly broken down, leading to loose stools and weakness.

4)CHRONIC GUT IMBALANCE- could be due to stress, gut flora imbalance, or past infections.

In Ayurveda, your symptoms suggest an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas, particularly: -Tikshna Agni- irregular or hyper digestion -Atisara- frequent loose motions or bowel urgency

This weakens your Ojas(immunity and vitality) and blocks Rasa dhatu(nutrient plasma), leading to poor nourishment and low body weight.

TREATMENT GOAL -regulate bowel movements -strengthen digestion -enhance nutrient absorption -correct dosha imbalance (vata-pitta) -support healthy weight gain(6-7 kg in 2-3 months) -restore gut flora and immunity -reduce stress and gut- mind disturbance

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) KUTAJANGHAN VATI(patanjali/baidyanth/himalaya)- 1 tab twice daily after food =controls frequent loose motions and regulates bowel.

2)PACHAK AMRUT SYRUP(baidyanth/sandu)- 10 ml twice daily after meals =improves digestion and reduces acidity or irritation

3)ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES(by himalaya/organic india/baidyanth)- 1. capsule twice a day with milk in morning and at bedtime =increases weight, reduce stress, strengthen immunity

4)SHATAVARI GRANULES(by zandu/badiyannth)- 1 spoon with warm milk in the morning =enhances nutrition and body mass, especially for women

5)DRAKSHARISHTA- 2 tsp with equal water after meals =helps with appetite, improves gut absorption

GENERAL DIET PLAN FOR WEIGHT GAIN AND GUT HEALTH

1) GRAINS AND CARBOHYDRATES digestive disorders often weak digestive fire, so its important to use easy-to-digest grains that also help in weight gain

BEST GRAINS -rice(short grain, white or parboiled)- very easy to digest , eat with ghee or curd -Khichdi (moong dal+. rice)- gentle on stomach, add cumin and ghee -suji- in the form of upma or halwa with ghee -oats(cooked well in milk or water)- add banana, dates or jaggery for calories

AVOID -whole wheat rotis- too rough for weak digestion -millets- bajra/jowar/ragi initially- heavy to digest -bread , noodles , and maida- refined flour

2) LEGUMES AND PULSES pulses are rich in protein but can be gas forming and harsh for sensitive guts. use only light and well cooked versions GOOD OPTIONS -yellow moong dal- best for weak digestion -massor dal- in small quantity, well cooked with ghee -split urad dal khichdi- once digestion improves

AVOID -chana, rajma, kidney beans, and black urad- heavy , gas producing

3) VEGETABLES vegetables should be well cooked, soft, and mildly spiced. Raw and undercooked vegetables will worsen digestion.

GUT FRIENDLY VEGGIES -lauki -tori -parwal -carrot -pumpkin -sweet potato -spinach use asafoetida, cumin , ghee , and ajwain in cooking to aid digestion

AVOID -cauliflower, cabbage, peas, and capsicum(gas-forming) -onion and garlic(initially as they irritate the gut lining) -raw salad or sprouts

4)FRUITS fruits are nourishing and hydrating, but must be chosen wisely to prevent worsening of bowel issues

SAFE AD NOURISHING FRUITS -banana(ripe)- best for weight gain and gut healing -Papaya- improves digestion, soothes stomach -stewed apple or pear- lightly cooked, easy to digest -chikoo- high calorie and gut friendly -dates and figs(soaked overnight)- rich in iron and calories

AVOID -citrus fruits like oranges, pineapple -watermelon - too cold and loose stools trigger -raw apples, grapes -too fibrous

5) DAIRY PRODUCTS dairy is a cornerstone of ayurvedic weight gain and gut balancing if used correctly

BEST -cows milk boiled and warm- add ashwagandha/shatavari or dry fruits -homemade curd-fresh, during lunch only- probiotic, calms gut -buttermilk with roasted jeera+hing- best for digestion -cow ghee- enhances absorption, nourishes tissues, balances vata

AVOID -cold milk -packaged milkshakes -panner-initially hard to digest -cheesse proccessed

6)HEALTHY FATS you must include good fats for weight gain and nutrient absorption. avoid fried or refined oils

IDEAL FATS -DESI GHEE- 2-3 tsp/day, in rice,dal,or khichdi -Cold pressed coconut oil- in cooking-stabilises gut -Almond oil or sesame oil- drizzled on warm food -butter(homemade white butter)- 1 tsp a day if tolerated

7) NUTS AND SEEDS high in healthy fats, minerals, and calories- must be soaked before eating for better digestion

BEST NUTS AND COMBINATIONS -almonds(5-6 daily, soaked and peeled) -walnut(1-2 daily) -raisins(10 soaked overnight) -dates(2-3 per day) -dry fruit shake - milk+banana+soaked nuts+jaggery or honey

AVOID -raoasted/salted nuts -cashews-heavy, eat only later once digestion improves -nut butters from the stores like peanut butter, almond butter

8) SWEETENERS you need natural energy sources- but avoid refined sugar

HEALTHY CHOICES -Jaggery(gud)- great for weight gain and iron -Honey- only when added to warm not hot, liquids -Mishri- can soothe acidity

9)SPICES AND HERBS FOR DIGESTION these helps stimulate agni and reduces bloating/gas -Jeera -Hing -Ajwain -Saunth-dry ginger -Haldi -Black pepper use these daily in cooking or make herbal teas with cumin+ajwain+ginger

10) FLUID AND HYDRATION

BEST DRINKS -warm water-sip throughout the day -cumin water-jeera boiled in water -ginger tea -fresh buttermilk

AVOID -cold water or fridge drinks -fruits juices- too sweet and cold -carbonated drinks- soda cola -packaged juices

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA RECOMMENDATIONS

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early-before 7 AM -eat meals at regular times -avoid lying down immediately after meals -take a short walk-15-25 min after each meal -sip warm water

YOGA AND PRANAYAM helps strengthen digestion, calms stress, and regulate gut -VAJRASANA- sit after meals, improves digestion -PAWANMUKTASANA- relieves gas and bloating -TRIKONASANA- stimulates digestion -BHUJANGASANA- improves gut motility -SURYANAMASKAR- activates whole system

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom -balancing vata and pitta -bhramari- calms mind and gut -sheetali- if you’re experiencing burning sensation

15-20 min yoga and pranayam daily can improve gut-brain connection and digestion significantly

GOAL- GAIN 6-7 KH IN 2-3 MONTHS with improved digestion, better nutrient absorption and ayurvedic support this is very achievable if -you follow the diet regularly -you use ayurvedic supplements consistently -you keep stress and sleep in check- at least 7-8 hrs sleep

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

हेलो भारती मेहर,

आपके लक्षणों के आधार पर -आपको लगता है कि भोजन अवशोषित नहीं हो रहा है -आपको भोजन के बाद बार-बार शौचालय जाना पड़ता है -आपका वजन कम है और आप वजन नहीं बढ़ा पा रहे हैं

ये लक्षण निम्न में से एक या अधिक का संकेत देते हैं-

1) मैलाबॉर्शन सिंड्रोम- आपका शरीर पोषक तत्वों को ठीक से अवशोषित नहीं कर रहा है

2) इरिटेबल बॉवेल सिंड्रोम (आईबीएस)- डायरिया प्रमुख= अति सक्रिय आंतें, विशेष रूप से भोजन के बाद ट्रिगर होती हैं

3) हाइपरएसिडिटी या कमजोर पाचन अग्नि= आयुर्वेद के अनुसार, यदि पाचन कमजोर है, तो भोजन ठीक से नहीं टूटता है, जिससे मल ढीला और कमज़ोर होता है।

4) क्रोनिक गट असंतुलन- तनाव, आंत के वनस्पतियों के असंतुलन या पिछले संक्रमण के कारण हो सकता है।

आयुर्वेद में, आपके लक्षण वात और पित्त दोषों के असंतुलन का संकेत देते हैं, विशेष रूप से: -तीक्ष्ण अग्नि- अनियमित या अति पाचन -अतिसार- बार-बार दस्त या मल त्याग की इच्छा

यह आपके ओजस (प्रतिरक्षा और जीवन शक्ति) को कमजोर करता है और रस धातु (पोषक प्लाज्मा) को अवरुद्ध करता है, जिससे खराब पोषण और कम शरीर का वजन होता है।

उपचार लक्ष्य -मल त्याग को नियंत्रित करना -पाचन को मजबूत करना -पोषक तत्वों के अवशोषण को बढ़ाना -दोष असंतुलन (वात-पित्त) को ठीक करना -स्वस्थ वजन वृद्धि (2-3 महीनों में 6-7 किलोग्राम) का समर्थन करना -आंत के वनस्पतियों और प्रतिरक्षा को बहाल करना -तनाव और आंत-मन की गड़बड़ी को कम करना

आंतरिक रूप से शुरू करें

1) कुटजंघन वटी (पतंजलि/बैद्यंत/हिमालय)- भोजन के बाद दिन में दो बार 1 गोली =बार-बार दस्त को नियंत्रित करता है और मल त्याग को नियंत्रित करता है।

2) पाचक अमृत सिरप (बैद्यंत/संदू)- भोजन के बाद दिन में दो बार 10 मिली =पाचन में सुधार करता है और एसिडिटी या जलन को कम करता है

3) अश्वगंधा कैप्सूल (हिमालय/ऑर्गेनिक इंडिया/बैद्यंत)- 1. कैप्सूल दिन में दो बार सुबह और सोते समय दूध के साथ =वजन बढ़ाता है, तनाव कम करता है, रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता को मजबूत करता है

4) शतावरी दाने (झंडू/बद्यंत)- सुबह गर्म दूध के साथ 1 चम्मच =पोषण और शरीर के वजन को बढ़ाता है, खासकर महिलाओं के लिए

5) द्राक्षारिष्ट- भोजन के बाद बराबर पानी के साथ 2 चम्मच =भूख बढ़ाने में मदद करता है, आंत के अवशोषण में सुधार करता है

वजन बढ़ाने और आंत के स्वास्थ्य के लिए सामान्य आहार योजना

1) अनाज और कार्बोहाइड्रेट पाचन संबंधी विकार अक्सर पाचन अग्नि को कमजोर करते हैं, इसलिए आसानी से पचने वाले अनाज का उपयोग करना महत्वपूर्ण है जो वजन कम करने में भी मदद करते हैं लाभ

सबसे अच्छा अनाज -चावल (छोटा अनाज, सफेद या उबला हुआ)- पचाने में बहुत आसान, घी या दही के साथ खाएं -खिचड़ी (मूंग दाल + चावल)- पेट के लिए हल्का, जीरा और घी डालें -सूजी- घी के साथ उपमा या हलवा के रूप में -ओट्स (दूध या पानी में अच्छी तरह से पका हुआ)- कैलोरी के लिए केला, खजूर या गुड़ डालें

इनसे बचें -गेहूँ की रोटी- कमज़ोर पाचन के लिए बहुत कठोर -बाजरा- शुरू में बाजरा/ज्वार/रागी- पचाने में भारी -ब्रेड, नूडल्स और मैदा- रिफाइंड आटा

2) फलियाँ और दालें दालें प्रोटीन से भरपूर होती हैं, लेकिन गैस बनाने वाली और संवेदनशील पेट के लिए कठोर हो सकती हैं। केवल हल्के और अच्छी तरह से पके हुए संस्करणों का उपयोग करें अच्छे विकल्प -पीली मूंग दाल- कमजोर पाचन के लिए सबसे अच्छा -मसूर दाल- कम मात्रा में, घी के साथ अच्छी तरह से पकाई गई -उड़द दाल की खिचड़ी- पाचन में सुधार होने पर

से बचें -चना, राजमा, राजमा और काली उड़द- भारी, गैस बनाने वाली

3) सब्जियाँ सब्जियाँ अच्छी तरह से पकी हुई, मुलायम और हल्के मसाले वाली होनी चाहिए। कच्ची और अधपकी सब्जियाँ पाचन को खराब कर देंगी।

पेट के अनुकूल सब्जियाँ -लौकी -तोरी -परवल -गाजर -कद्दू -शकरकंद -पालक पाचन में सहायता के लिए खाना पकाने में हींग, जीरा, घी और अजवाइन का उपयोग करें

इनसे बचें -फूलगोभी, पत्तागोभी, मटर और शिमला मिर्च (गैस बनाने वाली) -प्याज और लहसुन (शुरुआत में क्योंकि वे पेट की परत को परेशान करते हैं) -कच्चा सलाद या अंकुरित अनाज

4)फल फल पौष्टिक और हाइड्रेटिंग होते हैं, लेकिन आंत की समस्याओं को बिगड़ने से रोकने के लिए इन्हें समझदारी से चुनना चाहिए

सुरक्षित और पौष्टिक फल -केला (पका हुआ)- वजन बढ़ाने और पेट को ठीक करने के लिए सबसे अच्छा -पपीता- पाचन में सुधार करता है, पेट को आराम देता है -उबला हुआ सेब या नाशपाती- हल्का पका हुआ, पचने में आसान -चीकू- उच्च कैलोरी और पेट के अनुकूल -खजूर और अंजीर (रात भर भिगोया हुआ)- आयरन से भरपूर और कैलोरी

से बचें - संतरे, अनानास जैसे खट्टे फल -तरबूज - बहुत ठंडा और ढीला मल ट्रिगर -कच्चे सेब, अंगूर - बहुत रेशेदार

5) डेयरी उत्पाद अगर सही तरीके से इस्तेमाल किया जाए तो डेयरी आयुर्वेदिक वजन बढ़ाने और आंत को संतुलित करने का आधार है

सबसे अच्छा -गाय का दूध उबालकर गर्म करें- अश्वगंधा/शतावरी या सूखे मेवे डालें -घर का बना दही-ताजा, दोपहर के भोजन के दौरान ही- प्रोबायोटिक, आंत को शांत करता है -भुना हुआ जीरा+हिंग वाला छाछ-पाचन के लिए सबसे अच्छा -गाय का घी- अवशोषण को बढ़ाता है, ऊतकों को पोषण देता है, वात को संतुलित करता है

से बचें -ठंडा दूध -पैकेज्ड मिल्कशेक -पनीर-शुरुआत में पचाने में मुश्किल -पनीर प्रोसेस्ड

6)स्वस्थ वसा वजन बढ़ाने और पोषक तत्वों के अवशोषण के लिए आपको अच्छे वसा को शामिल करना चाहिए। तले हुए या रिफाइंड तेलों से बचें

आदर्श वसा -देसी घी- 2-3 चम्मच/दिन, चावल, दाल या खिचड़ी में -ठंडा दबाया हुआ नारियल तेल- खाना पकाने में- पेट को स्थिर करता है -बादाम का तेल या तिल का तेल- गर्म भोजन पर छिड़का हुआ -मक्खन (घर का बना सफेद मक्खन)- अगर सहन हो सके तो दिन में 1 चम्मच

7) मेवे और बीज स्वस्थ वसा, खनिज और कैलोरी से भरपूर- बेहतर पाचन के लिए खाने से पहले भिगोना चाहिए

सबसे अच्छे मेवे और संयोजन -बादाम (5-6 प्रतिदिन, भिगोए और छिलके उतारे हुए) -अखरोट (1-2 प्रतिदिन) -किशमिश (10 रात भर भिगोए हुए) -खजूर (2-3 प्रतिदिन) -सूखे मेवे का शेक - दूध+केला+भिगोए हुए मेवे+गुड़ या शहद

इनसे बचें - भुना हुआ/नमकीन मेवा - काजू-भारी, पाचन में सुधार होने के बाद ही खाएं - दुकानों से मूंगफली का मक्खन, बादाम मक्खन जैसे नट बटर

8) मीठा आपको प्राकृतिक ऊर्जा स्रोतों की आवश्यकता है- लेकिन परिष्कृत चीनी से बचें

स्वस्थ विकल्प - गुड़- वजन बढ़ाने और आयरन के लिए बढ़िया - शहद- केवल गर्म, तरल पदार्थों में मिलाया जाए - मिश्री- एसिडिटी को शांत कर सकती है

9) पाचन के लिए मसाले और जड़ी-बूटियाँ ये अग्नि को उत्तेजित करने में मदद करती हैं और सूजन/गैस को कम करती हैं - जीरा - हींग - अजवाइन - सौंठ- सूखी अदरक - हल्दी - काली मिर्च इनका रोज़ाना खाना पकाने में इस्तेमाल करें या जीरा+अजवाइन+अदरक से हर्बल चाय बनाएँ

10) तरल पदार्थ और हाइड्रेशन

सबसे बढ़िया पेय - गर्म पानी- दिन भर घूँट-घूँट करके पिएँ - जीरे का पानी- जीरा उबालकर पिएँ पानी -अदरक की चाय -ताजा छाछ

से बचें -ठंडा पानी या फ्रिज में रखे पेय -फलों का रस- बहुत मीठा और ठंडा -कार्बोनेटेड पेय- सोडा कोला -पैकेज्ड जूस

जीवनशैली और योग संबंधी सुझाव

दैनिक दिनचर्या -सुबह 7 बजे से पहले उठें -नियमित समय पर भोजन करें -भोजन के तुरंत बाद लेटने से बचें -थोड़ी देर टहलें-प्रत्येक भोजन के बाद 15-25 मिनट -गर्म पानी पिएं

योग और प्राणायाम पाचन को मजबूत करने, तनाव को शांत करने और आंत को नियंत्रित करने में मदद करता है -वज्रासन-भोजन के बाद बैठें, पाचन में सुधार करता है -पवनमुक्तासन-गैस और सूजन से राहत देता है -त्रिकोणासन-पाचन को उत्तेजित करता है -भुजंगासन-आंतों की गतिशीलता में सुधार करता है -सूर्यनमस्कार-पूरी प्रणाली को सक्रिय करता है

प्राणायाम -अनुलोम विलोम -वात और पित्त को संतुलित करता है पित्त -भ्रामरी- मन और आंत को शांत करती है -शीतली- अगर आपको जलन महसूस हो रही है

प्रतिदिन 15-20 मिनट योग और प्राणायाम करने से आंत-मस्तिष्क का कनेक्शन और पाचन में काफी सुधार हो सकता है

लक्ष्य- 2-3 महीनों में 6-7 किलोहर्ट्ज हासिल करना पाचन में सुधार, बेहतर पोषक तत्व अवशोषण और आयुर्वेदिक सहायता के साथ यह बहुत संभव है अगर -आप नियमित रूप से आहार का पालन करते हैं -आप लगातार आयुर्वेदिक सप्लीमेंट्स का उपयोग करते हैं -आप तनाव और नींद को नियंत्रित रखते हैं- कम से कम 7-8 घंटे की नींद

लगातार पालन करें

उम्मीद है कि यह मददगार साबित होगा

धन्यवाद

Now a days its common problem , seen in youngsters and mid age and old age people

It may be due to stress , diet , irregular daily activities and for some people due to alcohol and smoking but you don`t worry , in Ayurveda there is treatment

But you have to take medication regularly and you have to take satvik diet for some time .

initially you have to go for detoxification of toxins in your body. for that you have to undergo

Deepana and Pachana therapy

Deepana means stimulating digestion treatment especially for kapha dosha. It is an essential procedure before therapeutic emesis (vamana) and therapeutic purgation (virechana).

The best form of food to kindle digestion is foods like fats/oils

Pachana :- means digestion, cooking, boiling, baking, softening. In medical treatments, it denotes digestion or promoting digestion. It is an important treatment for indigestion.

Later Panchakaram

Snehana one of the most important therapies that prepares the body to receive specialized Panchakarma treatment. It involves the application of medicated oils, ghee and herbs to the body internally and externally for three to seven days

Swedana helps in detoxification and reestablishing the balance between Vata, Pitta, and Kapha in the body. The sweat glands are one of the sources that eliminate toxins from the body

Vamana: Emesis Therapy, involves controlled, medically-induced vomiting. It is aimed to eliminate excess Kapha Dosha in the body which can otherwise trigger a series of ailments like acne, asthma, arthritis, chronic cold and diabetes

Virechana:the controlled therapeutic purging for a specific time. The main purpose of this treatment is to remove imbalanced or excess pitta dosha

By doing this your body will get Detoxification. you will feel Rejuvenation.

Now we will start medication

1]tTriphala churna 1 spoon with 20ml warm water two times a day at (8am-8pm) after meals

2]Ajmodadi Churna half spoon with 10ml warm water two times a day after meals

3]Sukumar Gritha 2 spoon with warm milk two times a day after meals

4]Hinguvastaka Churna half spoon with warm water before Bed time Avoid Oily Spicy Cold foods Drink plenty of water , butter milk , coconut water Eat fruits Avoid sleeping at after noon Avoid eating heavy at night

ALL THE BEST . WISH YOU SPEEDY RECOVERY

Digestive problems like yours are often linked to an imbalance in the agni, or the digestive fire, so addressing this is key. It’s possible that your digestive fire is weak, leading to poor assimilation of nutrients. For starters, try to incorporate ginger tea before meals - a small cup with a slice of fresh ginger boiled in water can help stimulate digestion.

Consider your diet, each meal should be balanced with enough good fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Include foods like ghee (clarified butter), which in moderation can nourish the dhatus (bodily tissues) and aid in weight gain. You can start by adding a teaspoon of ghee to your dal or rice.

Pay attention to the timing of meals; try to eat at the same times every day to help sync your digestive rhythm. Eating at irregular hours can disturb your body’s natural processes. Avoid drinking too much water with meals as it can dilute your digestive juices; take small sips instead.

Ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic herb, is known for boosting strength and weight gain. You might consider having half a teaspoon of ashwagandha powder mixed with warm milk before bedtime. But, it’s wise to consult with a local practitioner to tailor this according to your prakriti (body constitution).

Mindful practices are as important; avoid stress as it can interfere with digestion. Light exercise, like yoga, can be beneficial. Poses like Pawanmuktasana (Wind-Relieving pose) and Bhujangasana (Cobra pose) can improve digestion. Still, be cautious not to over-exercise as it might contribute to weight loss instead.

Of course, if symptoms persist or worsen, seeking further medical evaluation is crucial to rule out any underlying conditions. Aim to gain weight gradually over those 6-7 months for sustainable health improvements.

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.

In addition, I specialize in treating women’s health issues such as PCOD, female infertility, menstrual irregularities, and obesity, helping many patients overcome these challenges and achieve improved health naturally. My clinical practice also covers the management of respiratory conditions like asthma, chronic skin diseases such as psoriasis, and metabolic disorders including fatty liver disease. I approach each case by carefully diagnosing the root cause and customizing treatment protocols based on classical Ayurvedic principles. I consistently integrate Panchakarma therapies, herbal formulations, diet corrections, and lifestyle guidance to ensure holistic and sustainable healing. Throughout my journey, I have remained committed to restoring the natural balance of health in my patients, empowering them to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives. I strive to deliver treatments that are personalized, effective, and aligned with the rich heritage of Ayurveda.

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.

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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: 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.

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.

Dr. Ankit Khandelwal
I am practicing Ayurveda since 3 years now, and tbh even though that number looks small on paper—it sure feels way more intense when you think of the daily exposure to different conditions, people, energies. I focus mainly on holistic wellness, with a strong bend toward balancing the body-mind equation. Sometimes ppl ask if I only give herbs but truthfully it’s more about understanding the why behind the illness... not just the what. My work usually involve personalized treatment planning, where I mix classical Ayurvedic concepts—like dosha analysis, ahara-vihara (diet & lifestyle), and detox via Panchakarma—based on how the person is living right now. That dynamic bit matters. One patient with acidity might need total food overhaul. Another? Just better sleep and breath practices. I learnt to not jump into “fixing” unless I’m hearing fully. The past 3 years taught me to observe subtle signs more deeply. Like the small fatigue before full-blown fatigue. I don’t claim big breakthroughs, but I’ve seen lives shift—chronic migraines fading, IBS calming down, periods regularising, skin healing slowly from inside-out. And that feels huge. Every day kinda grows me. Whether it’s a simple consultation, or longer therapies, I try to keep things real, rooted, and not rushed. And yes there’s still lot to explore. But I’m in this for the long run and I want ppl to know that healing doesn’t mean perfection—it just means balance, awareness, and the willingness to start.

Dr. Arun Desai
I am Dr. Arun Desai, working in Ayurveda for 19+ years now, both online and offline. My clinic, Ayur Sanjivani, is at #44 B 1, Opp Adarsh Laundry, beside Tej Residency, near Kavalemath Somwaar Peth Cross in Tilakwadi, Belgaum – bit of a long address but patients seem to find it just fine. Over time I’ve learned that people today want relief fast but still safe and lasting. That’s where I mix the depth of classical Ayurveda with practical tweaks to suit this fast moving lifestyle. I don’t like giving something that just masks a symptom – I want to get to the root cause whenever possible. At the clinic, I try to keep things warm and easy to talk, not a stiff doctor’s table vibe. Whether it’s diagnosis, a Panchakarma session, or simple counseling, I want patients to feel they can ask anything, even small doubts. Education matters too – when someone understands why a certain diet or lifestyle change is needed, they actually follow it better. Treatments may include herbal formulations, diet charts, yoga routines, exercise plans, detox, anti-stress work – all depending on their prakruti and condition. Over the years, I’ve treated people from many walks of life – each case different, which keeps me learning. Some come for joint pain, some for skin problems, others for lifestyle disorders like diabetes or high BP. I still follow authentic Ayurvedic principles but adapt them so they work in today’s reality. And yes, I’m always updating my knowledge, making sure the practice stays ethical and effective, because for me, Ayurveda isn’t just treatment – it’s a way to help someone rebuild their health from inside out.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with over 28 years of clinical experience dedicated to the principles and practice of authentic Ayurvedic medicine. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of treating more than 100,000 patients through both in-person consultations and online platforms. My approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic diagnostics—such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), Roga-Rogi Pariksha (patient and disease evaluation), and a personalized assessment of prakriti (body constitution). Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of health conditions across all age groups—from acute infections and digestive issues to chronic and lifestyle disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. I place strong emphasis on individualized care, combining herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox therapies, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to ensure long-term healing and disease prevention. My extensive experience also includes addressing complex, chronic illnesses that require a deep understanding of both the pathology and the patient’s overall constitution. I have worked with patients who had previously struggled with little success in other systems of medicine, and have guided many toward sustainable recovery and improved quality of life. Whether treating elderly patients with degenerative disorders or young adults facing hormonal or metabolic challenges, I strive to offer care that is compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-informed. My goal is to empower patients with Ayurvedic wisdom so they can take an active role in their healing journey. I continue to remain updated with the evolving landscape of integrative health and value the importance of patient education, ethical practice, and consistent follow-up. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession, but a lifelong commitment to restoring balance and promoting well-being, one patient at a time.
