Your serum chloride level lies in upper border, but that doesn’t means serious, this can vary person to person. Please improve your water intake and avoid intake of tea/caffeine products which can alter chloride level. If you are taking any medication please check with corresponding doctors.

HELLO RASHMI,

WHAT IS SERUM CHLORIDE? A major extracellular anion(negatively charged ion) in your body.

Helps maintain -acid-base balance - osmotic pressure and fluid balance -electrical neutrality along with sodium and potassium.

NORMAL RANGE= 98 to 107 mEq/L your value= 109 mEq/L-> very mild hyperchloremia

WHAT CAUSES HIGH CHLORIDE?

1) DEHYDRATION- even mild dehydration may elevate chloride

2) EXCESS SALT INTAKE- if you eat processed foods/salty snacks= sodium chloride(NaCl) elevates both Na and Cl.

3) USE OF SALINE IV. FLUIDS - iv fluid often contain NaCl-> chloride load

4) METABOLIC ACIDOSIS- loss of bicarbonate causes a reactive rise in cl

5) RENAL TUBULAR ACIDOSIS- kidney fails to excrete acid leads to chloride gain

6) COMPENSATION MECHANISM- if bicarbonate is low, body retains cl

DOES IT AFFECT KIDNEY OR LIVER

1) KIDNEY -chloride is regulated by the renal tubules -in cases of renal dysfunction, chloride may accumulate

BUT IN YOUR CASE -serum creatinine is normal -eGFR is normal -> no kidney damage is currently evident

-Low BUN(urea) doesnt necessarily means kidney problem. In fact, high urea is often seen in renal dysfunction

Your kidney is functioning normally in terms of filtration and excretion. A mildly high chloride alone will not damage your kidneys if it stays mild and stable.

2) LIVER -liver involvement shows in - abnormal LFT -low bun urea - because urea is synthesised in the liver - so low ear and BUM in your report could indicate reduced protein metabolism or liver enzyme function but - if you are not symptomatic( no jaundice, fatigue, nausea) and LFT’s are normal, it’s not liver damage. -more likely, it could be due to low protein intake, over hydration, or metabolic suppression(agni Mandya in ayurveda)

A high chloride does not directly cause liver damage, but it reflects metabolic imbalance, both liver and kidney physiology can be indirectly influenced over time.

YOUR FINDINGS do not represent serious pathology at the moment. However they indicate a subtle imbalance in fluid electrolyte metabolism, possibly influenced by diet, digestion, or pitta related disturbance

to approach this according to ayurveda, restore balance through Agni deepana, ama pachana, pitta pacification, and support of rasa, rakta, and mutra dhatus.

INTERNALLY CAN TAKE

1) FOR AMA PACHANA AND AGNI DEEPANA -TRIKATU CHURNA= 3 gm before meals with warm water or buttermilk for 15 days =clears ama, improves agni, balances vata kapha, corrects nutrient absorption and metabolism

2) FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE REGULATION+ KIDENY SUPPORT

-PUNARNAVADI KASHAYA= 15 ml with equal water, twice daily before meals = diuretic, anti -inflammatory, reduces swelling, regulates fluid- electrolyte balance

-GOKSURADI GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily with warm water =supports urinary system, reduces congestion in mutravaha srotas.

FOR PITTA BALANCE+ LIVER SUPPORT

-AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals with water =liver detox, pitta shamak, supports protein metabolism

-PHALATRIKADI KWATH= 20 ml with water twice daily =clears excessive pitta, support liver and renal functions

FOR RASYANA AND REJUVINATION( POST 1 MONTH OF ABOVE MEDICATIONS)

-GUDUCHI SATVA + YASHTIMADHU CURNA = 1 tsp mixed in lukewarm milk In morning for 30 days = immunomodulator, nephroprotective, balances tridosha

-ASHWAGANDHA+SHATAVARI+ GOKSHURA COMBO =5 gm in milk at nght =adaptogenic, restore dhatu, correct subtle imbalances

DIET -mung dal khichdi with cumin, coriander, turmeric -barley, oats, boiled rice - tinder, lauki, ash gourd, okra, pumpkin -cows milk boiled and warm -cows ghee 2 tsp/day - hearbal drinks= coriander- cumin- fennel tea, -amla juice 20 ml - tender coconut water

DON’TS -excess salt, pickles, fried food -fermented, sour, spicy foods-increase pitta - non veg food(high urea load) -coffee, alcohol, soft drinks -overeating and late night eating

LIFESTYLE ADVICE -wake up before sunrise -gentle yoga and sheetali/anulom vilom Pranayam daily -avoid sun exposure and excessive physical exertion - daily foot massage with coconut oil - maintain 3 L fluid intake daily

CHECK Serum chloride every 2-4 weeks -Bun Urea/ creatinine/ eGFR= montly -LFT= every 2-3 months -urine routine= monthly

Your current findings do not suggest serious damage, but they need correction o prevent future pathology. Ayurvedic management focuses on root-cause correction, pitta balance, and srotas cleansing follow this protocol for at least 6-8 weeks and then SEE.

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

It’s not that serious as you are thinking Sometimes due to less water intake/ dehydration/ exc salt in diet may increase chloride levels And low urea and bun levels might be due to high carb/ low protein diet Correcting the above surely will benefit you

Namaste Rashmi , Thank you for sharing your lab values and concerns. But don’t worry we are here to help you out !!

Your Report Summary :

1 Serum Chloride – 109 mEq/L → Slightly High (normal range ~98–107) 2 Serum Urea (BUN) – Low 3 Serum Creatinine – Normal 4 eGFR (Kidney Function) – Normal

What Actually it means :

1. High Chloride (109) – This is only mildly elevated and it is not dangerous as other values like creatinine and eGFR are normal. It may have been increased due to dehydration or half salt intake or any medications you have taken in recent times

2 . Normal Creatinine + eGFR – This is reassuring and means your kidneys are functioning well currently.

IS THIS SERIOUS? NO Actually all other parameters are within range so no need to worry be assured . The chloride level returns to normal with hydration or salt adjustment

** What You Can Do:**

✅ Hydration & Diet: • Drink 6–8 glasses of water daily • Avoid excess salt, packaged snacks, pickles • Take fresh fruits like pomegranate, watermelon • Include buttermilk, moong dal, and barley water

❌ Avoid: • Overuse of electrolyte drinks or ORS powders without reason • Very salty or preserved foods • Irregular meal timings

✅ When to Recheck:

• Retest after 2 weeks following all the diet change and proper hydration • Check sodium, potassium, bicarbonate (Sr Electrolytes)

No need to panic. Mildly high serum chloride is not harmful , especially when kidney and liver parameters are otherwise normal.

Just make small changes, stay hydrated, and follow up with repeat blood tests as advised.

Wishing you a good health 🌿 Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

High serum chloride levels, which you mentioned as 109, can indicate different things, but it’s not automatically signifying a serious problem. Still, it’s essential to understand why these levels are elevated. In Ayurveda, an imbalance can be a result of vitiated Pitta dosha, particularly due to dehydrative factors or excess salt intake, so begin by reviewing your diet and fluid intake.

Since your serum urea and BUN are low, but serum creatinine and eGFR are normal, it suggests that while some markers of kidney function are slightly out of the usual range, key indicators of kidney filtration (like creatinine and eGFR) are fine. This suggests your kidneys functions normally in terms of filtering waste products. The slight rise of chloride may not directly harm kidneys or liver if it’s a temporary fluctuation. However, continuous imbalances might indicate an underlying issue needing attention.

Consider these recommendations:

1. Dietary Revisions: Cut down on salty foods and avoid processed snacks. Instead, choose a diet that includes hydrating and cooling foods like cucumber, and gourds, that will help pacify Pitta.

2. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help balance electrolyte levels. Infuse water with fennel seeds or coriander for additional cooling effects.

3. Avoiding Excess Heat: Minimize exposure to heat, which can exacerbate any Pitta-related disorders.

4. Herbal Support: Incorporate amla or Indian gooseberry in your diet; it’s cooling and helps balance Pitta dosha.

5. Reduce Stress: Practice relaxation techniques, such as yoga or pranayama, to maintain overall doshic balance.

If you notice any worsening symptoms or have any concerns about your kidney or liver, it’s crucial to seek a healthcare provider for in-depth analysis and diagnosis. Remember Ayurvedic treatment complements medical care but doesn’t replace necessary medical interventions. Prioritize observations of your symptoms and consult with your doctor for ongoing concerns.

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. 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. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: 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. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

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. 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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
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. 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.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

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. Manjula
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.
