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 SHEKHAR, You're experiencing: -INSOMNIA= taking 3-4 hours to fall asleep -ANXIETY= worry, tension , racing thoughts -FATIGUE= feeling tired all day, despite sleep -POOR FOCUS AND MEMORY These symptoms are not separate problems. They're all connected and arise mainly from an imbalance in your vata dosha, which governs nervous system, thoughts, movement and sleep. When vata becomes excessive, you feel -mentally overactive or restless -anxious and tense -unable to calm the mind or body -weak digestion -sleep becomes light, delayed or disturbed WHY THIS HAPPENS? Imagine your mind like a lake. When the wind(vata) is strong, the water becomes wavy and disturbed.you can't see clearly or rest. This is what's happening in your mind and nervous system. CAUSES OF INCREASED VATA IN MODERN LIFE- -irregular sleep and food times -too much phone/computer use, especially at night -excessive thinking, worrying, multitasking -skipping meals or eating dry, cold, spicy foods -lack of grounding activities like nature, rest and silence GOAL OF TREATMENT -balance vata -calm the nervous system -restore natural sleep rhythm -improve digestion and mental clarity INTERNALLY START WITH 1) MANAS MITRA VATAKAM -1 tab twice daily with meals after food for 6-8 weeks = a powerful nervine tonic. calms the mind, improves memory, reduces anxiety, and promotes restful sleep. balances vata and pitta in the brain. often used in cases off insomnia, mental stress and even epilepsy. 2) SARASWATARISHTA - 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 3 months =improves memory, focus, and clarity of mind. reduces anxiety and support long-term mental stability 3) ASHWAGANDHARISHTA - 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food for 6-12 weeks =tonic for nerves , promotes energy and reduces stress-induced fatigue. supports sleep. balances vata. 4) KALYANAKA GHRITA -1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk for 6-8 weeks =enhances memory, intelligence, releievs insomnia, nourishes the nervous system. 5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI - 1 tab twice daily after meals for 1 month =mild sedative effect, support calmness and reduce psychosomatic tension. helps with fatigue and sleep regulation TOTAL DURATION -start with a minimum 6-8 weeks -continue saraswatarishta or kalyanaka ghrita longer for chronic anxiety, memory issues TAPERING OFF once sleep stabilises -reduce kalayanaka ghrita to alternate days -continue saraswatarishta + healthy routine -maintain yoga and breathing exercises A regular daily routine is medicine itself 6:00- 6:30 am= wake up, splash cool water on eyes 6:30-7:00 am= empty bowel- drink warm water to help 7:00- 7:30 am= light walk in fresh air and slow yoga 8:00 am= warm breakfast 12:30 pm= lunch (main meal of the day) 4:00 pm= herbal tea or light snack- no caffeine 6:30- 7:00 pm= light dinner 8:00 pm= relax- no phone/laptop after this 9:00 pm= warm bath or foot soak with rock salt 9:30 pm= deep breathing, then lie down to sleep DIET :- Your food should be -warm, soft, well cooked -light, oily, grounding -mild in spices- not too pungent or cold -easy to digest EAT MORE OF -ghee- 1 tsp daily with rice or roti -khichdi-rice+moong dal with ghee -milk with a pinch of nutmeg at night -stamed or sautéed vegetables -dates and soaked almonds -herbal teas- ginger, tulsi, chamomile- avoid caffeine AVOID -cold foods or drinks -raw salads at night -leftover or packaged food -caffeine soft drinks -spicy chutney, pickles, fried foods EAT YOUR MEALS AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY YOGA AND MOVEMENT movement helps ground vata, but is must be gentle calming not intense.

When dealing with insomnia and anxiety, Ayurveda offers several herbal remedies and lifestyle adjustments that could assist. One of the most well-known herbs for promoting sleep and calming the mind is Ashwagandha. Consuming about 500 mg of Ashwagandha extract around two hours before bed may help improve your sleep quality. You might also want to try Brahmi, another herb renowned for enhancing cognitive abilities, reducing anxiety, and promoting relaxation. A tea made from Brahmi leaves or a Brahmi supplement taken daily can be beneficial. Additionally, incorporate Shankhapushpi into your daily routine. This herb can act as a calming agent for the mind, promoting better mental function and reducing anxiety levels. Taking Shankhapushpi syrup or powder before bedtime might improve sleep onset times. However, it's crucial to address lifestyle factors too. Establish a consistent sleep routine by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Engage in relaxing activities like meditation or pranayama—Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (alternate nostril breathing) is particularly effective in calming the mind and promoting sleep. On the dietary front, avoid stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine, especially in the late afternoon and evening. A warm glass of milk with a pinch of nutmeg or a teaspoon of ghee about an hour before sleep can be soothing and promote relaxation. Try including more sattvic foods—such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts to pacify the mind. Regular exercise, preferably early in the day, can also decrease anxiety and help improve sleep patterns. Prioritize gentle activities like yoga, which align well with Ayurvedic practices, especially the calming postures done in the evening. These recommendations are meant to align with Ayurvedic principles tailored to Vata imbalances commonly linked to anxiety and insomnia. However, it is always wise to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to get personalized recommendations based on your unique prakriti and current health conditions.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
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.
