hello Pihu dont worry ! You’re showing early signs of varicose veins, likely due to weakened vein walls and poor circulation.In Ayurveda, this is called Sirajagranthi, primarily due to Vāta imbalance in the body.

-Treatment Plan I have discussed here :

1. Ayurvedic Therapies (if accessible through a nearby hospitals u can adopt that ) 1.Virechana – mild purgation to balance Vāta-Pitta. 2.Abhyanga – daily oil massage with Sahacharadi taila or Nirgundi taila. 3.Udvartana – koyttamchukadi choornam to improve circulation. 4.Siravyadha – bloodletting to reduce venous pressure.using leech is the best treatment for varicose

-Oral Ayurvedic Medicines (for 4–6 weeks):

1.Kaishore Guggulu – 1 tab twice daily after food. 2.Manjishthadi Kwatha – 15 ml with equal warm water twice daily before food. 3.Punarnavadi Mandura – 1 tab twice daily after food.

Lifestyle & Exercises 1.Leg elevation for 10–15 mins, 2–3 times daily. 2.Yoga asanas: Viparita Karni, Tadasana, Padahastasana. 3.Daily 30 min walk, avoid long sitting/standing. 4.No tight clothes, high heels, or crossing legs.

1 Diet Advice .2Vāta-pacifying food: Warm, cooked meals, ghee, moong dal, red rice, seasonal fruits. 3.Include: Leafy greens, turmeric, ginger, garlic, citrus fruits (rich in flavonoids).

Avoid: Fried food, excess salt, packaged snacks, caffeine, alcohol. Follow-up Advice -Continue therapy for at least 6–8 weeks. -if symptoms worsen (pain, swelling, ulcers), do a Doppler scan and consult a vascular specialist. 3.Stay regular with therapy and monitor changes.

Considering varicose veins involve vascular tissue health, Ayurveda aligns remedies with balancing the doshas, mainly involved in Pitta and Kaphha imbalances. Varicose veins often indicate stagnation of blood circulation, so, focusing on nourishing and enhancing the blood flow can be beneficial.

Begin with your diet: Increasing foods that soothe kapha and stimulate pitta, like ginger and garlic, can be helpful. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, and red, orange fruits contribute to good circulation. Stay away from deep-fried, overly processed foods that aggravate Kapha, causing sluggish circulation. Hydration is crucial, so drink plenty of warm water or herbal teas like ginger-tulsi.

From a lifestyle perspective, elevating the legs while resting for about 10-15 minutes daily can help blood to flow back and reduce pooling. Yoga poses, like Viparita Karani, where you lie down and elevate your legs against the wall, assists venous return. Simple calf raises and short walks promote movement of blood through the veins.

Herbal combinations, such as Gotu Kola and Horse Chestnut, are noted in Ayurvedic texts for supporting vein health. They aid in reducing inflammation and strengthen the vein walls. Applying warm sesame oil mixed with a few drops of rosemary or cypress essential oil in gentle, upward motions on the legs can improve circulation.

Ensure not to stand or sit for long periods in one go. Take adequate breaks to stretch your legs. Wearing loosely fitted clothing and avoiding tight hosiery prevents constriction at any point, aiding natural circulation.

In cases where symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner would be imperative, as personalized attention may be needed to align the treatment with your unique dosha constitution.

HELLO PIHU,

Varicose veins are primarily due to- -vata vyadhi(abnormal movement and stagnation of vata) -aggravation of Rakta dhatu and Meda dhatu - Dhamani pratichaya(thickening or bulging of veins due to improper flow and waste accumulation)

TREATMENT GOAL -reduce venous congestion and swelling - strengthen vein walls - balance vata (main culprit in varicose veins), while supporting pitta(inflammation) and kapha(stagnation) -protect skin and nerves .

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) KAISHOR GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals = Anti inflammatory, blood purifier

2) PUNARNAVA MANDORR- 2 tabs twice daily after meals =reduces edema, improves circulation

3) SARIVADYASAVA- 15 ml with equal water after meals = pitta-vata balance, blood detox

4) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI- 2 tabs twice daily after meals = diabetic support, urinary clearance, venous strength

5) MANJISTHADI KASHAYA- 20 ml with water twice daily before meals =improves microcirculation, venous strength

6) TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =mild detox, supports bowel function

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) SAHACHARADI TAILA= strengthen nerves and veins, reduces pain and stiffness

2) NIRGUNDI TAILA= anti-inflammatory, relieves swelling

3) MAHANARAYAN TAILA= deep tissue nourishment, relaxes veins

4) KUMARI TAILA= skin rejuvination, prevents ulcers

= warm oil slighlty -massage gently upward on legs from feet to thing , avoiding heavy pressure - let it absorb for 20-30 minutes -wash off with warm water

avoid on open ulcers or infected skin. Do not use very hot oil

IF FEASIBLE GO FOR PANCHAKARMA AS IT IS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN YOUR CASE - LEECH THERAPY - BLOOD LETTING - MEDICATED ENEMA

YOGA AND ASANA yoga helps improve blood return, relieve venous stasis, and strengthen leg muscles

ASANAS -Viparita karani(legs up the wall)- 10-15 mins/day -Tadasana= improves balance, strength -Pawanmuktasana= enhances abdominal and venous circulation -Setu bandhasana= elevates legs and reduce venous pooling -Paschimottanasana= helps in compression and blood movement

Avoid standing poses for long durations. Do not hold poses too long if swelling increases

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED

INCLUDE -warm, light meals= reduces kapha and vata - garlic, turmeric, ginger= natural blood thinners -bottle gourd, ridge gourd, bitter gourd= light on digestion, support sugar control -green gram, barley, red rice= light grains, good fiber -amla= rejuvinator, antioxidant -triphala= gut detox, and helps with digestion - buttermilk(diluted, spiced)= improves digestion and metabolism

AVOID -deep fried, sour, fermented food= aggravates pitta, leads to inflammation -cold drinks, ice cream, curd at night= triggers kapha and congestion - long fasting or heavy meals= disturbs vata - constipation= leads to increased abdominal pressure, worsens varicosity

SOME SYMPTOMS WHICH YOU SHOULD NOT IGNORE -watch for sudden pain, ulcers, bleeding or dark skin patches -swelling or color change may indicate venous insufficiency or diabetic complications -if symptoms worsen, vascular evaluation or minimally invasive treatment may be needed-e.g sclerotherapy or laser ablation

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Hello Pihu, Thank you for reaching us out. I can undrrstand your concern about early varicose vein. You’re observant to have noticed the blue-colored, structured veins on your legs likely early-stage varicose veins or venous insufficiency. Since they are painless, its a great time to start treatment. Dont worry we are here to help you out😊

AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE

In Ayurveda, varicose veins are linked with Siragata Vata Vata dosha affects the channels (Sira is same as veins) Causes poor circulation which leads to vein wall weakening and ultimately lead to vein bulging

Simplified as Vata dosha aggrevated ➡️ It affects the sira /veins➡️ poor circulation➡️ Vein wall weakning ➡️ vein bulging ➡️varicose vein

Blood becomes sluggish → visible bluish veins

** Our main goals** 1 Improve blood circulation 2 Strengthen vein walls 3 Balance Vata and Rakta 4 Reduce stagnation and heaviness

☑️This will ultimately normalize your veins

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION ( JUST FOR 15 DAYS TO PREVENT PROGRESSION OF DISEASE)

1 Veinflux 1-0-1 after food ( gives strength to veins 2 punarnvamandoor 1-0-1 after food (improves circulation) 3. Sahacharadi kashyam 15ml-0-15ml +30ml water after food ( to pacify aggrvated vata)

✅ 2. External Application (will help to strengthen the Veins Locally) Kotatmchukkadi. Tailam – warm and gently massage legs upward every night (Massaging in upward direction is important) After oiling, wrap a light cloth and elevate legs for 15 mins Do this daily before bed

✅ 3. Yoga & Exercises to Improve Circulation

Practice 15–20 min daily (morning or evening)

1 Viparita Karani (legs up the wall) improves venous return 2 Pawanmuktasana Releases leg pressure 3 Tadasana Improves calf circulation 4 Simple leg cycling (lying down) Enhances blood flow 5 Walking – 30 minutes daily Must for long-term control

Avoid: Prolonged standing or sitting still for hours

✅ 4. Diet for Varicose Veins (Vata-Rakta Shamak)

✅ Include:

Beetroot, pomegranate, pumpkin, carrots (improves blood tone) Soaked almonds, sesame seeds, black raisins Triphala water or jeera water (warm) Cow ghee (1–2 tsp/day) – natural circulatory support Moong dal, lauki, barley, old rice

❌ Avoid:

Cold, dry, spicy, fermented food Tea/coffee excess, bakery, maida, cold drinks Long gaps between meals Excess salt – worsens swelling

✅ In 3–4 weeks, you may notice reduced heaviness and improved appearance ✅With 3 months of consistent , vein structure may fade or stabilize

Pihu, you’ve caught this at the right time as it is early stage you can easily come out of it

Wishing you strength and smooth circulation😊

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO PIHU,

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that are most commonly seen in the legs due to poor circulation and valve function in the veins.

Ayurveda can help reduce symptoms and progression, but complete cure (as in removal of veins) without surgery is usually not possible.

In Ayurveda, varicose veins are generally linked to a vitiation of vata dosha, specifically apana vata, along with rakta dhatu dushti(impairment of blood tissue). the veins lose their elasticity and become enlarged due to poor blood circulation and aggravated vata.

INTERNALLY START WITH

MORNING(EMPTY STOMACH) - RASONADI KASHAYA- 20 ml with warm water = balances. vata kapha, strengthens blood vessels, excellent for improving circulation

-GOTU KOLA CAPSULE- 1 cap with lukewarm water = strengthens vein walls, promotes circulation, anti-inflammatory

-MANJISTHA CAPSULE- 1 cap with warm water = blood purifier, helps reduce vein discolouration and swelling

* AFTER BREAKFAST

-PUNARNAVADI GUGGULU- 2 tabs with warm water = reduces water retention and swelling, supports circulation

-KAISHOR GUGGULU- 2 tabs with warm water =blood purifier, anti inflammatory, reduces swelling in veins

*EVENING(30 MIN BEFORE DINNER)

-MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA- 20 ml with warm water before dinner = deep blood purifier , ideal in long standing venous disorders

-HARIDRA CAPSULE- 1 cap with warm water = anti inflammatory , reduces pigmentation and venous ulcers

*AFTER DINNER

-TRIPHALA GUGGULU- 2 tabs with warm water = mild detox, supports bowel health, improves venous tone

-SAPTAVIMSHATI GUGGULU- 1 tab with warm water = indicated in chronic wounds, ulcers, varicose ulcers

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

-SAHACHARADI TAILA OR NIRGUNDI TAILA= warm slightly , apply gently upward strokes on varicose veins, leave for 30-60 min, then wash off with lukewarm water. use once daily before bath

AVOID deep pressure massage on veins

PANCHAKARMA ADVISED FOR BETTER AND EARLY RELIEF -RAKTAMOKSHANA -VIRECHANA -MASSAE -BASTI

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS -include= warm, lightly spiced, cooked foods, ghee, ginger, garlic

-avoid= cold, dry foods, fried foods, sour curd, fermented food

-drink warm water infused with cumin, or coriander

-control blood sugar strictly, as uncontrolled diabetes worsen circulation.

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA -avoid prolonged standing and sitting -elevate legs while sleeping or resting -wear compression stockings -leg movements every 30 mins if sedentary

YOGA ASANA -viparita karani -tadasana -pawanmuktasana -paschimottanasana

PRANAYAM like anulom vilom and bhramari are helpful to improve circulation and reduce oxidative stress.

While Ayurveda may not completely remove the varicose veins, it can effectively reduce symptoms like swelling, prevent complications and improve vein health over time without surgery.

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

Blue, structured veins on the legs — likely early varicose veins — can often be managed naturally if painless and not swollen yet.

🔹 Natural Remedies: Herbal Oils for Massage (upward strokes):

Sahacharadi Taila or Chirbilvadi Taila – improves venous circulation

Apply daily and rest with legs elevated for 15–20 mins

Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (consultation advised):

Sahacharadi Kashayam – for vein tone and circulation

Punarnava Mandoor – for swelling or heaviness (if present)

Kaishor Guggulu – detox and blood flow

🔹 Exercises (daily, 20–30 min): Leg elevation (Viparita Karani) – lie on your back and lift legs up on the wall

Ankle pumps & toe curls – improves circulation

Brisk walking – boosts calf muscle pump

Avoid long standing/sitting – change position frequently

🔹 Diet Tips: High-fiber foods – leafy greens, amla, fruits, whole grains

Anti-inflammatory items – ginger, turmeric, garlic

Hydration – 2.5–3L warm water/day

Avoid fried, salty, and heavy foods which worsen venous congestion

🔹 Lifestyle Tips: Avoid tight clothing, crossing legs while sitting

Sleep with a small pillow under your legs

Use compression stockings if standing for long hours

With regular lifestyle changes and Ayurvedic care, early varicose veins can be controlled or reversed. Please consult for personalized herbal support.

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. 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. 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. Sumit Tasgaonkar
I am Dr. Sumit S. Tasgaonkar — a BAMS doc who also went on to complete MS in Ayurveda surgery, along with CGO and PGDEMS. Kinda feels like I’m always learning. And maybe that’s what keeps me grounded — balancing classical Ayurvedic wisdom with real-time medical emergencies or even modern diagnostic tools. I don’t see these systems as opposites... for me, they compliment each other when you look closely enough. My work mostly revolves around chronic diseases, metabolic issues, lifestyle mess (and there’s plenty of it these days), and women’s health conditions — PCOS, hormonal imbalance, gynec stuff that needs long-term attention. I use Panchakarma, herbal meds, diet correction, sometimes just shifting someone’s daily habits does more than we expect. But it’s never one-size-fits-all. I take a lot of time getting to the root cause — dosha imbalance, agni disturbance, whatever is underneath the visible stuff. Patients dealing with arthritis, stress, skin flareups, digestion trouble — I’ve seen all of that and more. And every case teaches something new. I’m super keen on tracking progress too. Like we keep tweaking, adjusting as per prakriti and vikriti, not just protocol-for-all. And honestly, the most satisfying part? when patients tell me they feel like themselves again. I started Tasgaonkar Medical Foundation with a big dream of bringing authentic Ayurveda to more people, esp. rural areas where choices are limited. We still keep prices fair and try not to compromise on classical principles. Accessibility doesn’t mean diluting the science — that’s always been important to me. What I really want is to see more people actually understand their health. Not just pop pills or mask symptoms. I wanna give them the tools — through knowledge, through food, through breath — to live lighter and healthier. And ya, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes you doubt, sometimes you adjust everything mid-plan... but that's Ayurveda too. Listening, observing, and flowing with the body, not against it.

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.

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. 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.

Dr. Akshay Garg
I am working as a Senior Ayurveda Consultant in an Ayurvedic multi-speciality hospital, and honestly it still feels a bit surreal sometimes because the work is so wide and kind of unpredictable each day. I move between different departments, looking at cases that range from simple digestion problems to chronic disorders that need long-term panchakarma support, and I try to bring a balanced clinical view without losing that traditional Ayurvedic touch that gives the whole system its meaning. Some days I’m deeply involved in planning treatment protocols with juniors, other days I end up spending long time with a pt trying to understand where the imbalance actualy started. In a multi-speciality setup you learn fast that nothing comes isolated—one pt walks in for pain, but the root is life-style; another comes with respiratory issues but the digestion is where everything is stuck. I like that part, even if it makes my thought process a bit tangled while I’m working through it. Being in a senior position also means I guide the team on diagnosis patterns, dosha assessment, panchakarma selection, all that practical stuff that you dont get fully from textbooks. And sometimes I mix modern clinical observations with classical Ayurvedic principles just to make sure the pt gets safer and more effective care. I don’t try to make it fancy; I just want the treatment to make sense for the pt sitting in front of me. There’s also a satisfaction in seeing long-term pts return with improvements—pain reducing, sleep stabilizing, metabolism settling down—and knowing the whole team contributed. I keep learning through every case, even when I think I already understand the pattern, there comes some tiny detail that changes the approach. My aim stays the same each day: to offer treatment that feels honest, thoughtful and truly healing, not just symptom management. And working in a multi-speciality hospital gives me that chance to see Ayurveda applied in its full, practical form, with all its depth and little imperfections that make it real.

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. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

Dr. Vinod Kumar
I am working mainly as a Nadi Vaidya, and sometimes I still get a bit lost trying to explain what that really means in short words, because pulse reading kind of feels deeper than what fits in a simple line. When I sit with a patient and place my fingers on the nadi, I try to sense those small shifts in vata pitta kapha that tell me where their system is going out of track… sometimes I re-check it twice just to be sure I’m not missing a tiny variation, even if it makes me look a bit slow in the moment. I am also involved in Ayurvedic medicine preparation and formulations, which is something I enjoy almost too much — mixing the dravya, adjusting the proportions, watching how the balance changes by a small tweak. At times I get distracted thinking if I should try a slightly diff herb profile, but I always stay inside the classical guidelines, just making sure the formulation really matches the patient’s prakriti and their current avastha. Some days my notes get messy and I forget a comma here or there, but the process of crafting a remedy still feels very precise to me. I focus on making medicines that support digestion, metabolism, tissue strength, things like that, because a good formulation can shift a person’s health more gently than people expect. And when I match the nadi reading with a right formulation, the results turn clearer, at least in my expereince. I am trying to grow this work slowly, understanding more about how each patient responds, and adjusting my approach without rushing. Even when doubts pop in my head—like did I judge the pulse too quickly or should I re-evaluate the formulation—I take it as part of learning. Being a Nadi Vaidya with hands-on practice in Ayurvedic preparations feels like a path that keeps opening new layers for me, and I want to keep refining it, even if my thoughts wander or my typing looks a bit off now and then.
