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.

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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. 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. 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.

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. 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.

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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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. 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. 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.
