Testicular pain returned after lifting something heavy scared it might be serious again - #24724

Pranav

Hi, im a healthy 19YO Back in April 2024, I started having dull, aching pain in my left testicle around 5 to 6 out of 10 in intensity. I saw a urologist, got multiple tests done including ultrasound and urine analysis, but everything came back normal. Nothing serious was found. But the pain was chronic. Then in December 2024, after sitting for 3–4 hours during the day without much movement, I woke up that night with sudden, excruciating pain. It was terrifying, I genuinely thought it might be testicular torsion. I rushed to the ER, but again, all tests and scans were normal. After that, I started doing some light pelvic floor exercises (though not consistently), and eventually, by January 2025, the pain gradually faded. From January till June 2025, I was basically pain-free. But now just a week ago I lifted something heavy very quickly and awkwardly, and since then the pain has come back. It’s not constant or sharp, and there’s no swelling or redness, but it’s there mostly on the left, though sometimes I feel it on the right too, or even both sides. The pain moves around but stays around a 3/4 out of 10. More annoying than debilitating, but enough to worry me. I’ve started doing pelvic floor work again, but this time it doesn’t seem to be helping much. I’m getting scared, especially because my final exams are in two months. please help me understand what’s going on. Thanks :)

Your situation seems quite challenging, especially with exams coming up. Based on what you’ve described, it could be possible that lifting something heavy strained your pelvic area, which might have aggravated the underlying issue related to the muscles or nerves. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this might relate to a vata imbalance, often associated with pain, movement, and nerve-related issues.

Let’s explore some practical steps you can take:

Firstly, ensure your digestive fire or agni is balanced, as it’s crucial for overall health. Incorporate warm, cooked, easy-to-digest foods into your diet. Avoid foods that are cold, raw, or difficult to digest, as they may aggravate vata. Ginger and cumin in your meals might aid digestion and reduce bloating.

Hydration plays a role. Drink warm or room temperature water throughout the day to help maintain balance in the body. Ginger tea could also offer additional soothing properties.

In terms of lifestyle, try incorporating a daily routine of gentle yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises), which can help relax and balance the body. Poses like Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclined Bound Angle Pose) may be beneficial.

For topical relief, consider applying warm sesame oil to the lower abdomen and around the testicular area, followed by a warm compress. This can provide comfort and soothe vata imbalances.

Despite these measures, it’s crucial to be cautious and prioritize your health. Avoid lifting heavy objects and engaging in activities that may worsen your symptoms. If the pain persists, consult with a healthcare professional—particularly if there are changes in intensity or other concerning symptoms.

Remember, while Ayurveda can offer support, urgent situations should always be addressed promptly by medical professionals. Your well-being is most important, and managing stress and staying grounded will aid not just the body, but the mind, too, especially as exams approach.

Doing light pelvic floor exercises will really help. Avoid heavy lifting.and going on z wheelers on rough surface roads. Wear appropriate size, a little smaller underwear during the day, Take chandraprabha vati 1-0-1 after food with water Shilajit satva 2drops in the morning before breakfast with milk.

Hello Pranav I can understand your concern and thanks for reaching out and sharing a detailed history - thats really helpful.

Based on follwing factors like ✅Normal Reports ✅Episodic testicular pain ✅ Pain aggrevated by prolonged sitting or lifting heavy objects ✅ pain relieving by doing pelvis exercises

We may suspect chronic pelvic pain syndrome Nothing to worry it is not infectious or not due to testicular torsion

👉IT MAY BE DUE TO ✔️ pelvic floor muscle tension ✔️nerve irritation ✔️ Referred pain from back ✔️ triggered due to wrong posture or lifting heavy weights

In cpss, no structural abnormality is there so your ultrasound came normal It is mostly neuromuscular

What you can do ? CONTINUE PELVIC MUSCLE RELAXATION EXERCISES- 1 Reverse kegels 2 stretches that helps- child pose Supine hamstring and hip stretches Practice this for 10 mins daily (even when you dont have pain)

**Practice 5-10 mins mindfulness or guided meditation

**INTERNAL MEDICATION THAT WILL HELP ** 1 Chandraprabha vati 2-0-2 after food twice daily 2 Balaristham 30ml-0-30ml after food daily

**SOS MEDICINE- if pain is more keep mahadhanwanthram gullika 2-2-2 in your mouth

If you ever get- ✅Sudden, severe pain ✅Swelling , redness or high fever ✅Vomiting with pain Rush to ER just to rule out torsion or any other acute issues

You r 19 , healthy and your testucles were cleared of serious causes. What you re expetrencing is common in many young men , often tied to pelvic floor imbalance , nerve tension and posture - not something dangerous

One of my patient’s son also had this problem he was even hesitated to tell his problem just i advised him some exercises and then since may be 9-10 months he didnt had any pain so dont worry

Hope you found this helpful 😊

HELLO PRANAV,

You’ve had testicular pain that: -was dull and chronic at first - became acute once(dec 2024) -then resolved, only yo return after lifting something heavy

PROBABLE CAUSES

1) PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTION- HIGHLY LIKELY -the pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs - when these muscles are tight, overactive or fatigued, they can refer pain to the testicles or perineum. This often causes- a deep acting, dragging, or burning pain, -pain worsened by sitting, lifting, bowel movements -no obvious swelling or infection, making it hard to diagnose through scans

You mentioned light pelvic floor exercises helped you earlier. This is a strong clue that the pain may be muscular and nerve related.

2) REFERRED PAIN FROM LUMBAR SPINE OR GROIN MUSCLES -lifting awkwardly can strain - lower back muscles, groin, nerves like ilioinguinal or genitofemoral nerve

-These nerve pass through the inguinal canal and can refer pain directly to the testicle, inner thigh, or lower abdomen. -commong in athletic young men or students who sit a lot.

3) SUBCINICAL VARICOCELE OR SPERMATIC CORD TENSION -a varicocele is a dilated vein(like a varicose vein) in the scrotu. -sometimes, even if it’s not a big enough to be diagnosed in a standard ultrasound, it can cause -dull, dragging sensation, worse with standing or physical exertion - relief when lying down

The fact that lifting triggered recurrence hints at pressure buildup in the pelvic veins.

4) CHRONIC ORCHIALGIA/ NEUROPATHIC PAIN -defined as testicular pain> 3 months without identifiable cause -this can become a “central sensitisation” issue, where nerves remain hypersensitive even when no damage is present. -this can triggered again by stress, lifting, or inactivity.

In Ayurveda, your condition points towards a vata imbalance, particularly -APANA VATA governs= elimination, sexual function, testes, bladder, pelvic organs

when disturbed due to- overexertion, improper sitting posture, irregular eating/sleep, suppression of urges(like avoiding urination or defecation) Apana vata gets vitiated, leading to conditions like -vatakundalika= pain/twisting in testicles -shukrashmari= seminal gravel or blockage -gudabhramsha= pelvic muscle laxity - snayugata vata= tendon/muscle-related vata disorder

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) VRIDDHIVADHIKA VATI- 1 tab twice a day after meals with warm water = especially useful in conditions where vata has lodged in the groin or inguinal canal.

2) YOGARAJ GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily with lukewarm water = deep acting on muscular tension, pelvic nerve pain or myofascial trigger points(especially good if there’s associated back pain or stiffness)

3) RASNADI GUGGULU- 1 tab twice daily after meals = anti inflammatory, balances vata kapha, if testicular or pelvic pain is worsened after exertion or cold weather

4) SAHACHARADI KASHAYA- 15 ml with water before meals twice daily = nerve related groin/ testicular pain, especially radiating types

5) BRIHATVATA CHINTAMANI RASA- 125 mg with water mixed ghee once in morning = restore nerve strength, used in condition like chronic orchialgia

6) KANCHANAR GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals = especially benefits in hidden varicocele or lymphatic congestion in the groin

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1) OIL MASSAGE daily with Sahacharadi taila or prasarini taila =gently massage lower abdomen, inner thighs, and lower back

LIFESTYLE AND DINACHARYA -avoid lifting heat weights, prolonged sitting, and constipation -take warm sitz baths daily with a pinch of rock salt - maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid excessive screen time

DIET -warm, cooked meals -avoid dry, cold, spicy, or processed foods -include= ghee, milk with turmeric or ashwagandha, cooked moong dal, dates, figs, soaked almonds -avoid caffeine and excessive tea

YOGIC SUPPORT regular, gentle yoga focusing on -pelvic floor release and hip mobility -supta baddha konasana=reclining bound angle pose -viparita karai= legs-up-the-wall-pose - ananda balasana= happy baby pose

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom - bhramari

SEEK IMMEDIATED MEDICAL HELP IG -sudden severe pain - swelling, redness, or fever -testicle feels firm, irregular or pulled up - nausea or vomiting with pain

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

HELLO PRANAV,

you’ve had -normal usg and urine test -pain improved with rest and light pelvic floor pain returned after lifting something heavy. This history suggest that your pain is likely musculoskeletal or nerve related rather than a disease or infection

POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS -epididymalgia -referred pain from lower back or groin muscles -pelvic floor dysfunction or tension -varicocele - genitofemoral or iliolinguinal nerve irritation

HOW SERIOUS IT IS you’re not describing -sudden severe pain now like torsion -sweeling or rednes -systemic signs like fever or urinary issues That rules out emergencies, which is reassuring

However chronic or recurrent testicular pain still deserves good management-especially to protect your quality of life and focus during exams

MEDICAL RECOMMED -rest and avoid strain= no lifting, squats, or core workouts until pain settles -warm compress= 15 mins a day can relax tense muscles or veins -NSAIDs= if safe fr you, take for short term use of inflammation -pelvic floor relaxation> strengthening = relaxation exercise like deep diaphragmatic breathing or yoga childs pose over kegel as of now -try scrotal support /jockstrap -especialy when walking or sitting Long hours

INTERNALLY TAKE

- ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk after meals

-GOKSHURA TABLET= 50 mg twice daily after meals

-YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tab twice daily with warm water

-CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals

-DASHMOOLA TAILA EXTERNAL APPLICATION = around lower abdomen, groin and lower back - 2 times daily for 15 min

DIET -warm, light, grounding foods -avoid cold/raw/fried food -ghee or sesame oil can help calm internal vata -hydrate well-but avoid cold drinks

LIFESTYLE -stretching=hamstrings, hip flexors, lower back -yoga= childs pose, supta badhakonasana, leg up the wall -stress reduction= meditation, box breathing-tress can tighten the pelvic flOOR

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

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.

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. Amina CA
I am still kinda wrapping my head around how much has happned in just these last 8 months. I got to see over 500 patients—not just names on a file but real ppl with stories, symptoms that didn’t match books, and responses to treatment that taught me a lot more than classroom ever did. Every single case added something—sometimes confidence, sometimes doubt, but mostly clarity about why Ayurveda needs to be personal. That whole idea of root-cause isn’t just a phrase to me now, cause I’ve actually *done* the work of figuring it out—through prakriti reading, hetu analysis, tailoring herbs to that one stubborn thing that wouldn’t budge unless I got it right. Started off at the Govt Ayurveda Dispensary, Paingottoor (Mar-April 2024), juggling OPD and learning to keep things practical—what you *can* do with limited time and still follow classical line of treatment. Moved to Nellimattom next month, same OPD scene but somehow I felt more ready—like I knew what I was looking for during consultation. Then came the big shifts—District Ayurveda Hospital, Thodupuzha—Shalya Tantra for a month (May-June). Learning surgical concepts, wound management, minor procedures, all that opened up a whole diff layer of Ayurveda for me. After that was NARIP, Cheruthuruthy (June-July)—real-deal Panchakarma, hands-on, under ppl who *really* knew the texts and the techiques. I saw how deep detox can go when it’s done right. Then Shalakya Tantra (ENT + eye care, July-Aug)—very niche but suprisingly common complaints. By Sept I was at Sparsh Ayurvedic Clinic, Nellimattom, and that place blended modern diagnostics with our way of thinking. Helped me sharpen decisions fast, without losing authenticity of the classical tools. All that put together—it's shaped me into a doctor who listens more, assumes less, and keeps asking, "what’s *actually* causing this?” before reaching for a remedy. I want my patients to heal for real—not temporarily cope. That's the goal every single time.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

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. 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. 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.

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.

I am someone who kinda grew into Panchakarma without planning it much at first... just knew I wanted to understand the deeper layers of Ayurveda, not just the surface stuff. I did both my graduation and post-grad from Govt. Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital in Bangalore — honestly that place shaped a lot of how I think about healing, especially long-term healing. After my PG, I started working right away as an Assistant Professor & consultant in the Panchakarma dept at a private Ayurveda college. Teaching kinda made me realise how much we ourselves learn by explaining things to others... and watching patients go through their detox journeys—real raw healing—was where I got hooked. Now, with around 6 years of clinical exp in Panchakarma practice, I'm working as an Associate Professor, still in the same dept., still learning, still teaching. I focus a lot on individualised protocols—Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all and honestly, that’s what makes it tricky but also beautiful. Right now I’m also doing my PhD, it’s on female infertility—a topic I feel not just academically drawn to but personally invested in, cause I see how complex and layered it gets for many women. Managing that along with academics and patient care isn’t super easy, I won’t lie, but it kinda fuels each other. The classroom work helps my clinical thinking, and my clinical work makes me question things in research more sharply. There's a lot I still wanna explore—especially in how we explain Panchakarma better to newer patients. Many people still think it's just oil massage or some spa thing but the depth is wayyy beyond that. I guess I keep hoping to make that clarity come through—whether it’s in class or during a consult or even during a quick OPD chat.
