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.

Thank you for sharing based on your history it sounds like that the pain may be due to pelvic floor tension or nerve sensitivity since the reports are normal heavy lifting could have re irritated a nerve or muscle Avoid strain Do gentle pelvic floor stretches warm compresses and continue pelvic floor work If it persists or worsens follow up at urologist Focus on rest exam prep everything is going to be ok

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 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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

Dr. Ayush Varma
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. 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. 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. 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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

Dr. Sumi. S
I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.
