Pain on the left side of chest can sometimes signify serious medical conditions like heart-related issues. Given that your pain is consistent and rated high, it's important to get your heart and lungs checked by a medical professional immediately, just to rule out any critical concerns before diving into Ayurvedic options. Once you've confirmed it's safe to proceed, you can harness Ayurveda's wisdom focusing on balancing your doshas and strengthening your heart and respiratory system. According to Ayurvedic principles, such pain may be related to a Vata imbalance, which can cause discomfort and unease in the chest area. Arjuna is often recommended for cardiac health in Ayurveda. Arjuna tree bark has cardio-protective properties. You can try it in powder form, about 1 teaspoon mixed with warm milk or water, taken daily. It's traditionally used to improve heart function and may help alleviate discomfort in the chest area. Brahmi, known for its calming properties, may also assist soothing nerves. Sipping Brahmi tea a couple of times a day can help stabilize Vata imbalance contributing to pain. Observe your diet, incorporating warm, easy-to-digest foods to support digestion and pacify Vata. Favor cooked veggies, whole grains, and soups. Consider adding spices like ginger and turmeric to your meals, as they are known for anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. Incorporate practices like Pranayama (breath control) and light Yoga postures aimed at reducing stress and improving circulation. While these are supportive measures, they should be tailored based on your constitution. Aim to keep a regular routine, maintaining a healthy balance of rest and physical activity. Please don't delay visiting your healthcare provider. It's vital to address any immediate concerns and ensure your ongoing safety while complementing with Ayurveda.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Hello Chisom , Thank you for reaching out. I'm truly sorry to hear you're experiencing persistent pain on the left side of your chest, especially with a pain level of 7/10. Since this pain has been there since childhood but has recently become more consistent, it’s important to approach this with both urgency and caution. ⚠️ Most Important: Chest pain — especially on the left side — could involve the heart, lungs, nerves, or muscles. Even if it has been present since childhood, a new increase in intensity or frequency needs to be properly evaluated. ✅ Recommended Immediate Steps: 1 Get an ECG and a heart checkup (especially to rule out cardiac causes) 2 Check for gastritis-related pain, inflammation of chest cartilage, or lung causes 3. Rule out any nerve-related pain (intercostal neuralgia) Mean while you can take following medication 1 Mahadhanwanthram gullika 2-2-2 (keep in the mouth this will reduce cardiac pain temporarily till proper diagnosis is made) 🔴 Do this first before starting any Ayurvedic treatment. Ayurvedic Herbs (Start only if you know the cause ): ✅ For Muscular/Nerve-Related Chest Pain: 1 Balaristham 30ml-0-30ml after food 2 Ashwagandharistham 30ml-0-30ml after food 3 CArdorium pluis 10ml-0-10ml twice daily ✅ For Gas/Indigestion-Related Chest Pain: 1 Acineutra syrup 10ml-0-10ml after food 2 dadimasthak choorna – 1 tsp with warm water just before lunch Home Remedies (only if not heart-related): • Warm turmeric milk with pinch of dry ginger at night • Apply warm castor oil or Mahanarayan oil to the chest • Avoid very cold food or drinks • Gentle breathing techniques – Anulom Vilom, Sheetali Please Remember: Since you're having 7/10 intensity pain, and it’s on the left side, the priority is ruling out heart-related or serious lung issues. Ayurveda works wonderfully as a supportive system, but never ignore warning signs. Wishing you relief and clarity soon Please get checked and then come back for a safe, effective Ayurvedic plan we will be happy to help. Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate
