Hello Ujjyant Singh, Thank you for sharing your concerns so clearly. I can understand your concern regarding your poor digestion. you’re 28, and from what you’ve mentioned, it sounds like your main issue is poor digestion and chronic constipation, which is affecting your skin, scalp, mind and even blood pressure.

In Ayurveda, Acharya charaka🙇‍♀️ has beautifully explains this interconnectedness: “Rogaha sarve api mande agnau” that means All diseases begin from poor digestion. When your Agni (digestive fire) is disturbed➡️ it affects Vata-Pitta➡️ leading to a cycle of constipation➡️ toxins (Ama) ➡️ skin & mind issues.

AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE

This sounds like a combination of: 👉Constipation 👉Grahani - Digestive issue 👉Pitta-Vata prakopa

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Dadimadi ghrita 1 tsp, morning empty stomch for IBS 2 Amlant 2-0-2 before breakast and dinner ( for gastric problem) 3 stresscom 1-0-1 after food ( for anxiety - this will eventually reduce your blood pressure) 4 Hinguvasthaka choorna 1 tsp with warm water just beforr lunch 5 Anuloma DS 1 tab at bed time for constipation

✅ 3. Mind & Nerve Support (Stress + Anxiety)

☑️Oil massage with Brahmi taila on scalp 2× weekly Reduces stress and improves sleep ☑️Also practice Anulom Vilom + Bhramari + Yoga Nidra daily 10–15 min.

✅4. Diet Modifications

Addressing the root cause of constipation and related concerns involves a multifaceted approach in Ayurveda, targeting digestion, stress, and lifestyle factors. Constipation can reflect an imbalance in the Vata dosha, affecting Apana Vayu, which governs the lower digestive tract. Begin with dietary modifications: incorporate warm, cooked foods like stewed apples in the morning, seasoned with a pinch of ginger and cinnamon to stimulate digestion. Increase intake of fiber-rich foods like steamed vegetables and whole grains, but avoid excessive raw foods which might exacerbate Vata imbalance.

Hydration is crucial. Aim for warm water throughout the day to facilitate digestion and soften stools, enhancing bowel movement. Introducing triphala powder—around a teaspoon in warm water at night—can help regulate bowel motions by rejuvenating the colon.

Considering stress and anxiety, cultivate a routine that includes pranayama and meditation to balance the mind and nervous system, easing Vata disorders. Regularity in daily routines, especially meal timings and sleep, can foster overall balance and well-being. ensure adequate sleep, as it permits the body to rejuvenate and balances hormones contributing to stress and anxiety.

For gastric problems, moderate consumption of honey and lemon water in the morning helps improve Agni (digestive fire). Avoid processed foods, excessive caffeine, and spicy foods that may increase Pitta and aggravate gastric irritation.

Addressing hypertension, limit salt intake and integrate calming Ayurvedic herbs such as Ashwagandha, known for reducing stress and anxiety.

For skin issues, consider Gandhak Rasayana under guidance, which detoxyfies and improves skin health, alongside topical applications like coconut oil to soothe irritation. Balance Pitta by avoiding too much sun exposure.

Persistent conditions also require consulting an Ayurvedic physician for personalized treatment. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking medical care is essential to preclude underlying serious conditions.

Don’t worry

🌱 Ayurveda 🌱

💠 This is a disease in which undigested food ( ama) is accumulated in the amashaya and stool is retained in the colon (pakvasaya) due to the vitiation of apana vayu. Because of the abnormal condition of apana vayu the stool is not expelled out and the digestion is disturbed.

* Avoid intake of cold water in empty stomach

* Avoid non vegetarian food, hotel food, bakery items, cool drinks

* Avoid jack fruit, ghee, alcohol, smoking

* stress

✅ * Intake light food, butter milk

* Water processed with ginger

* Curry leaves, carrot, fibre rich vegetables, sappotta, cabbage.

HI ujjyantsingh dont worry , we heard your problem …

Actually Constipation happens when Apāna Vāyu, which is responsible for downward movement (defecation, urination, menstruation), becomes blocked or imbalanced. Ayurveda calls this “Malabandha” where the natural flow of mala (stool) is restricted.

This condition can be due to: -Dryness (Rukṣatva) in the colon (lack of snigdhatva/snehana). -low fiber and water intake. -irregular food and sleep habits. -stress, suppressed urges, and mental disturbances. -Chronic diseases (hypothyroidism, Parkinsonism, IBS, stroke). -Drug side effects (iron, antihypertensives).

When this blockage continues, toxins (āma) accumulate, affecting the skin, scalp, digestion, and even the mind. This is why constipation is often linked with gas, headaches, acne, hair fall, anxiety, and disturbed sleep.

Ayurveda works by:

1.Restoring Apāna Vāyu’s flow (Apāna anulomana), 2.Rehydrating and lubricating the intestines (Snigdhatva), <link removed>toxifying through mild virecana and vāsti, 4.Correcting agni (digestive fire) and reducing āma.

= Internal Medicines

1.Triphala Churna – 5–10g with warm water at bedtime. 2.Pañcasakāra Churna – 5g + warm water before dinner – for deep cleansing. 3.Avipattikara Churna – 5g with warm water at bedtime – if acidity is associated. 4.Dadimadi Ghrtam – 10ml on empty stomach with warm water – for gut lubrication. 5.Sukumāra Lehyam – 10g at bedtime – relieves chronic bloating + improves bowel tone. 6.Abhayāriṣṭam – 15 ml + equal water after food, twice daily. Dhanvantara Gulika – 1 tab after food, twice daily – for vāta regulation.

=External / Panchakarma

1.Mātrāvasti (home-based) with Pippalyādi Tailam 50 ml – after food, alternate days. 2.Abhyanga (oil massage) + Uṣṇa Snāna – 3 times a week. 3.Vasti karma under supervision if chronic and resistant.

+Diet + Lifestyle Warm, freshly cooked, fiber-rich meals (fruits, vegetables, whole grains). Soak 4–5 raisins + 1 fig overnight and consume first thing in morning. Avoid curd at night, maida, cold foods, and caffeine. Fix daily toilet routine – even if urge is absent. Drink warm water throughout the day. Perform gentle yoga/asanas: Pavanamuktasana, Vajrasana, Malasana. Sleep early; avoid late-night screen exposure

you might have some common questions regarding this and I hope so I have given u a detailed view on based ur condition ! I really hope so u will get cured when follow all this systematically !

Q: Why am I constipated even after eating well? ➡ Chronic constipation can be due to vāta imbalance, dryness in intestines, drug side effects, or sluggish Apāna vāyu. Ayurveda corrects the vāyu flow and nourishes the gut.

Q: Will I be dependent on Triphala forever? ➡ No. These are not habit-forming like allopathic laxatives. They gently reset gut rhythm. Once apāna vāyu is balanced, we taper the medicines.

Q: What if I don’t feel motion even after trying remedies? ➡ That shows deeper vāta blockage or colon inertia (mūḍha vāta). We then go for vāsti or ghee-based virecana to unblock the colon.

Q: How long will it take to get normal motions? ➡ In most cases, 10–15 days for relief, but 1–2 months for full gut regulation. Chronic cases may take up to 3 months.

thank you, REGARDS - DR.KARTHIKA

HELLO UJJYANT SINGH,

Symptoms= chronic constipation, incomplete bowel movements, gastric issues, irritable bowels, skin and scalp irritation, hypertension, and stress- your condition seems multi systemic but strongly rooted in gut imbalance, which is central in Ayurveda.

In Ayurveda, your symptoms point toward an imbalanced vata and pitta dosha -Constipation and incomplete evacuation-> indicative of aggravated Vata dosha in colon. -Gas and IBS symptoms-> also vata, sometimes combined with pitta if there’s burning or irritation. -Skin and scalp irritation-> caused by pitta aggravation and toxic buildup from poor digestion - Hypertension and stress-> vata and pitta both impact the nervous system, chronic stress dries out the system and weakens digestion.

ROOT CAUSE IN AYURVEDA,

Agni Mandya(weak digestive fire) + vata- vyatha(disturbed apana vata) - Due to poor dietary habits, irregular lifestyle, stress, and toxin buildup, your digestive fire is low leading to - incomplete digestion - accumulated toxins - blockage of channels - irritated skin and scalp due to poor liver and blood detox

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT

1) DIET MANAGEMENT

FOOD TO AVOID -dry/cold food= raw salads, crackers, cold milk - pitta aggravating= tomatoes, fermented foods, spicy curries -vata aggravating= beans, fried food, stale flowers - gas causing= cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, esp raw or uncooked

Hello Ujjyant ji,

Based on your symptoms= constipation, incomplete bowel movements, irritable bowels, gastric issues, skin and scalp irritation, hypertension, stress, and anxiety- its clear that you’re facing a systemic imbalance due to vitiation of vata and pitta doshas.

-Constipation and gas= often due to aggravated vata dosha -Skin and scalp issues= usually a sign of excess pitta(heat) in the blood and liver -Stress and Anxiety= vata imbalance affects the ming -Hypertension= can be linked to both pitta (heat/stress) and vata (nervous system) imbalances

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

DIET -ghee with warm milk at night(1 tsp ghee in 1 cup warm milk) -soaked raisins, figs, or prunes in morning - cumin, coriander fennel tea after meals -steamed vegetables, moong dal , rice - warm, cooked, oily, and easy-to-digest foods

AVOID -dry, raw, cold or processed foods - caffeine, spicy/oily food, sour curd, carbonated drinks -excessive tea or irregular eating habits

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before bed= improves bowel clearance

2) AVIPPATIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp before meals with warm water= reduces acidity and supports digestion

3) BILWADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with water after melas= if irritable bowel is dominant

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime = for calming stress and anxiety

5) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab with warm water after meals =detoxifies the liver, useful for skin and gastric support

DAILY ROUITNE -wake before sunrise and drink 1 glass of warm water with lemon and honey -perform self oil massage with coconut oil- calms vata, improves digestion, and soothes the skin -practice gentle yoga poses like -pawanmuktasana -vajrasana -cat-cow pose -sit quietly for 5-10 min of nadi sodhana Pranayam to ease anxiety and regulate BP.

DETOX AND PANCHAKARMA if constipation and other issue are chronic and not curing, go for panchakarma -BASTI- medicated enema- best -VIRECHANA- purgation-cleanses excess pitta

MENTAL HEALTH- STRESS AND ANXIETY -ashwagandha chmurna in milk can help calm the nervous system -regular guided meditation, journaling, or yoga nidra -reduce screen time, especially before bed

SKIN AND SCALP CARE -use neem oil on scalp and body -avoid chemical-laden soaps/shampoos -add turmeric+ sandalwood paste locally to reduce inflammation

Your symptoms are interconnected and suggest a vata-pitta imbalance. ayurvedic treatment focuses on restoring balance at the root, not just symptom relief. by combinig - diet changes -medications -lifestyle -stress reduction -occasional detox therapes

you cans ee long term improvement

DO follow

thank you

Dr. Soukhya Hiremath
I am Dr Soukhya, completed my BAMS degree under Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science, and sometimes I still can’t believe how fast that year of full-time practice went by… feels like I m still figuring small things while already handling so many female disorders and skin related conditions every day. I work mostly with Ayurveda treatments for gynic cases, hormonal ups-and-downs, chronic skin troubles and a few other things that always need more gentle hands than people expect. I am practicing for a year now, but honestly the learning kind of never stop, each patient shows something new… sometimes I even pause thinking “wait, did I explain that right” and then go again with more clarity. My focus stays on understanding the root-cause, balancing doshas properly, and giving care that feel practical not over complicated. I treated many gynic issues, from irregular cycles to pregnency related discomforts, and a lot of cosmetology concerns too (acne, pigmentation and stuff that people get worried about really quickly!). I am also running offline yoga classes for pregnant women and others too… it started simple but grew into this small supportive space where I see how much differnce breathing and mindful movement makes. Sometimes the schedule gets messy, or I m not sure if the batch timing was perfect, but the sessions still turn meaningful. Ayurveda, yoga, routine corrections — all these tie together in my approach. I try to keep things straighforward, even if my notes get a bit scattered here and there or a comma miss somewhere, but the intention stays steady: help people feel better with methods that respect body’s natural healing.

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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

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. 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.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

Dr. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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. 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.

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. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.
