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.

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 fasting and full meals

* 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

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.

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

DO follow

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. 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. 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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

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. 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. Prajakta Kulkarni
I am Dr. Prajakta Kulkarni, an Ayurvedic physician and diet consultant with 15+ years into this field, and honestly—every year just keeps reminding me that food and healing aren’t separate things. My core focus is integrating Ayurvedic nutrition with actual modern dietary needs, like not everyone can live on kitchari and ghee alone, right? My goal’s always been to make Ayurveda feel doable, not distant. I run a global online Ayurvedic diet program—it’s now reached over 100 cities worldwide and still growing. The plan is simple but not basic: it’s tailored for each person’s constitution, goals, and health issues. Whether it’s weight issues, metabolism imbalance, IBS-type digestion drama, hormonal chaos, or even general fatigue—this program works by bringing the body back to balance through food that matches your dosha + condition. The 95% success rate? Not just marketing fluff. That’s real people writing back saying “hey I feel different now.” And that matters. Apart from diet work, I also offer home-based Panchakarma therapy—with Kerala-trained therapists, btw. Which means people can get authentic detox care (like abhyanga, virechana, nasya etc) without going into a clinic they’re not comfy in. I oversee the plan, make sure it suits their needs, and monitor the progress myself. Because I honestly don’t believe healing should come with discomfort or dread. My approach’s always about finding a midpoint between traditional Ayurvedic healing and practical daily life. I don’t tell people to do what isn’t possible for them. Instead, I build around what they can sustain, gently nudging them toward vitality, better digestion, stable energy, and a real sense of balance. It’s not about chasing perfection. It’s about feeling well and knowing how to stay there. At the heart of all this? Just one thing—making Ayurvedic wellness personal, effective, & actually livable in the modern world.

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. 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.
