Also Lifestyle Habits are very important to change: *Regular exercise: Aim for 30–45 minutes of moderate exercise (like brisk walking, yoga, or swimming) most days.

*Stress management: Practice mindfulness, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises to reduce cortisol (stress hormone) which can worsen PCOD.

*Good sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep for hormone regulation.

##. Natural Detox:

Hydration: Drink plenty of water with lemon in the morning to support liver detox.

Herbal teas: Fenugreek, cinnamon, and spearmint teas may help balance hormones.

Gentle Ayurvedic herbs: Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Triphala are known to support hormonal health and detoxification—but always consult your healthcare provider before starting herbs.

Hello Priyanka, Thank you for sharing your concern. I can understand your concern regarding PCOD. you’re not alone. PCOD is extremely common among women today, but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE

In Ayurveda, PCOD comes under Aartav Vaha Srotas Dushti involving Kapha aggravation which leads to cyst formation➡️ weight gain Vata Aggrevation ➡️ irregular periods, bloating Pitta imbalance ➡️ acne, mood swings, hair fall

That’s why PCOD shows up as ✅ Delayed or scanty periods or irregular period ✅ Belly fat or weight gain ✅ Acne and hair fall ✅ Mood swings or anxiety

✅ Step-by-Step Natural Plan to Reverse your PCOD

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 M2 TONE 2-0-2 after food ( helps to regulate menses) 2 Ashokaaristham 30ml-0-30ml after food ( improves blood circulation 3 kanchanar guggulu 1-0-1 after food ( helps to reduce poly cyst size ) 4 Panchajeeraka rasyanam 1 tsp at bed time follwed by warm water ( help to balance harmones)

✅ For detox you must do pnachakrma 1 Snehapana with varanadi ghritam 30-60-90-120ml follwed by virechana or vamana according to your body type and Capability

This is a detox process in which you have to take sneha that is mediacted ghrita in increasing order of dose follwed by 2 days body abhynga and steam and ultimately purgation or emesis ( this has to be done under proper panchakarma center)

☑️If you are not willing for above detox you can go for FOLLWING at home detox -

✅Natural Detox Routine (Morning & Night)

Morning Detox:

☑️Warm water + lemon + 1 tsp flaxseed powder OR Jeera–ajwain–methi water (boil 1 tsp each in 1 L water, sip all day)

Night Cleanse:

☑️1 tsp Triphala churna with lukewarm water Sleep by 10:30 pm to support hormone healing

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Eat: Cooked veggies: lauki, pumpkin, spinach, methi papaya, pomegranate, amla, apple soaked pumpkin + flaxseeds (1 tsp/day) barley, millets, brown rice Ghee: 1 tsp/day for hormone BALANCE Herbal teas: tulsi + cinnamon + shatavari

❌ Avoid:

Junk, maida, fried foods Milk, paneer, cheese (except light buttermilk) Sugary foods, cola, excessive coffee/tea Late-night snacking

✅Herbal Face Care for Acne

HELLO PRIYANKA,

PCOD means that your ovaries are not working normally. Instead of releasing one healthy egg every month, your ovaries are producing many small immature eggs that stay inside and form small fluid- filled sacs or cysts

Think of your body as a system of hormones that must stay in balance.

IN PCOD -the body makes too many male hormones which women also have in small amounts - this stops ovulation, causing irregular or no periods -it also affect insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar. If insulin is not working properly(insulin resistance), it makes the body gain weight and worsens pcod.

In Ayurveda, PCOD is caused by an imbalance in the kapha and vata doshas, leading to -ama(toxins) blocking the channels in your ovaries -slow metabolism(poor digestion- weak agni) - hormonal irregularities - stress(aggravates vata) adding to iiregularity

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) M2 TONE SYRUP(by charak)= 2 tsp twice daily after meals = helps ovaries work better, bring back your periods regularly

2) KANCHANAR GUGGULU( baidyanth/ AVP)= 2 tabs twice dailyafter meals with warm water = melts small cysts in your ovaries, supports thyroid and weight loss

3) ASHOKARISHTA(baidyanth/dabur)= 2 tsp with equal water twice daily after meals = regulates periods, reduces heavy bleeding and pain, supports uterus

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime = clears toxins from your body and improves digestion

5) EVECARE CAPSULES(by himalaya)= 1 cap twice daily after meals =balances hormones, improves ovarian function, regularises periods

DIET PLAN

FOODS TO INCLUDE

1) WHOLE GRAINS -millets= foxtail, barnyard, kodo, little millet- regulate insulin and reduce fat -quinoa, amaranth, red/brown rice -rolled oats(not instant)

2) VEGETABLES -focus on bitter, pungent, and astringent food -bitter gourd, drumstick, methi -cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, ash gourd -avoid raw salads, cook lightly and digestive spices

3) FRUITS(LOW GLYCEMIC) -amla=fresh or churna -pomegrante -apples, pears, papaya, berries

4) PROTEINS -Plant based= Moong dal, massor dal, horse gram, sprouted lentils -Animal based (if non veg)= boiled eggs, grilled fish(2 times/week)

5) HEALTHY FATS -cold pressed sesame oil -ghee=1 tsp/day -flax seed oil -seeds= flax, chia, pumpkin seeds- support estrogen balance

6) HERBS AND SPICES -turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, ajwian, -black pepper+ ginger

FOODS TO AVOID -cold and raw foods like smoothies, raws salads - sugar and white bread=causes weight gain and acne -fried or packaged foods= increases toxins -milk,panner,cheese= can make cysts worse -stress and late night= disrupts hormones

LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR DEEP HEALING

1) DAILY RHYTHM -wake up before 7 am= sets hormonal rhythm -hydration=warm water with lemon+pinch of turmeric or methi seeds water(soaked overnight) -meal timing= eat meals at regular intervals; no skipping -sleep= sleep by 10-10:30 pm to optimise melatonin and cortisol balance -avoid excessive screen time, especially before sleep

DETOX PRACTICES TO FOLLOW these helps removes toxins and reduce cyst formation -Triphala churna= 1 tsp at night with warm water -CASTOR OIL=montly one 10 ml in milk at night -Self oil massage= sesame oil daily before shower -TAKRA- buttermilk spiced with cumin and ginger daily after lunch

YOGA AND MOVEMENT

BEST YOGA ASANAS -malasana= opens pelvic region -baddha konasana= improves circulation to ovaries -Bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs -setu bandhasana= balances thyroid and pelvic hormones -suryanamskar= 5-7 rounds

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones, calms mind - bhramari= reduces anxiety and supports pitutary -kapalbhati= light version, support metabolism

MIND BODY CONNECTION PCOD is deeply linked with stress and emotional stagnation -practicue gratitude journaling, emotional release -engage in art, music, or nature therapy -reduce overthinking and over working- both aggravate vata

DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3 MONTHS

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

For managing PCOD naturally and balancing hormones, Ayurveda can offer a holistic and personalized approach. One key focus is on balancing the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. PCOD is often linked with Kapha imbalance, leading to metabolic sluggishness and weight gain.

Begin with a daily routine, known as dinacharya. Wake up early, ideally by 6 am, and drink a glass of warm water with half a lemon squeezed in. This helps stimulate agni, or digestive fire. Saunf (fennel) tea twice daily can also aid digestion and metabolism.

Diet plays a crucial role. Opt for a diet rich in fresh, seasonal vegetables and whole grains. Avoid dairy, sugar, and processed foods, as they tend to aggravate Kapha. Include spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger as they have anti-inflammatory properties and support digestion. Consume fruits like berries and pomegranates, which are beneficial for balancing hormones.

Exercise should be part of daily regimen, at least 30 minutes of brisk walking or yoga helps in reducing weight and improving circulation. Certain asanas, like surya namaskar and kapalbhati pranayama, can regulate hormonal balance.

Consider herbal supplements such as Ashwagandha and Shatavari, known for their hormone-balancing properties. But do consult with a qualified practitioner before starting any supplements.

Regular practice of mindfulness or meditation can assist in relieving stress, a common exacerbator of PCOD symptoms. Practicing full belly breathing can calm the mind.

Avoid late-night eating, excessive internet use, and maintain regular sleep schedule. Adequate rest supports hormonal balance and overall health.

Remember to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance. Each individual’s practice is unique, adjustments may be needed. While Ayurveda is beneficial, monitor symptoms. If conditions worsen, seek immediate medical attention.

HELLO PRIYANKA,

PCOD is a common condition, but with the right approach, you can absolutely start feeling better .

A holistic plan that includes Ayurvedic wisdom, lifestyle changes, and anti inflammatory support can help rebalance your hormones and reduces symptoms like weight gain, acne and irregular cycles.

Ayurveda views PCOD as an imbalance of the kapha and vata doshas, leading to accumulation of toxins , blocked channels, and hormonal disturbances

TREATMENT INTERNALLY

1) RAJAHPRAVARTINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after food with warm water = stimulate menstruation, helps regulate cycles, useful in amenorrhea due to pcod

4) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =helps in reducing ovarian cysts , detoxifies lymphatic system

5) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily = tones uterus, regularizes bleeding, manage acne and hormonal acne

6) HYPEREX TAB(Vasu healthcare)= 1 tab twice daily in morning and night =regulates blood sugar and insulin resistance in pcod, lowers androgen level, support ovulation

7) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily post meals with warm water = anti-inflammatory, useful in weight management

DIET -favour warm, cooked, easy to digest meals -include bitter vegetables= methi, bitter gourd etc -avoid dairy, sugar, red meat, and processed foods -drink warm water with lemon in morning for detox

DAILY ROUTINE -wake early around 6 am and follow a routine -oil massage with sesame oil balances vata and reduces stress -practice nasya with Anu taila daily 2 drops in each nostril early morning empty stomach= it balances hormones and calm the mind

LIFESTYLE AND EXERCISE regular physical activity is essential to reverse insulin resistance and support hormonal balance

YOGA ASANA= especially helpful are - baddha konasana - bhujangasana - dhanurasana - surya namaskar= 5-10 rounds

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhama(alternate nostril bleeding) -bhramari help reduce stress

WALKING daily for 30-45 min improves metabolism

SLEEP -aim for 7-8 hours of sleep -avoid screens 1-2 hours before bed

ANTI INFLAMMATORY DIET inflammation contributes to insulin resistance and hormone imbalance in PCOD. focus on a diet that cools and calms inflammation

-fresh vegetables= green leafy, zucchini , cucumber, beets -low glycemic fruits= berries, apples, pomegranate - omega 3 rich foods= flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts - spices= turmeric, ginger, cinnamon - herbal teas= spearmint it reduces androgens, tulsi and chamomile

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. 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. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

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. Shaniba P
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Vinayak Kamble
I am about 1 year into my practice journey n honestly that feels both small n big at the same time. When I first started, I wasn’t sure how quickly I could adjust from academic space into real clinical care, but gradually with each patient I learnt something more. My main focus is on pain management—conditions like knee joint pain, sciatica, lumbar back ache, spondylitis, tennis elbow, golfer elbow, frozen shoulder, heel pain etc. I try to combine careful diagnosis with treatments rooted in Ayurveda yet explained in practical way so patients don’t feel lost. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes quick, but always there is learning in it. During this year I also kept my dedication toward research and evidence-based approach. I worked on presenting ideas and papers in academic forums whenever I got chance, and even managed to publish in journals that value Ayurveda in modern context. That gave me confidence that my small contributions can add to bigger discussions in medical field. In my postgraduate study I had finished Medicine with top score in my batch, which felt rewarding but also left me with responsibility to keep proving that I deserve that position. Honestly, academic achievements are good but real test is when someone walks in pain and goes back with relief, even if just partial at first. Sometimes patients expect instant cure, n that is where I try to keep balance—explaining how pain relief in conditions like frozen shoulder or spondylitis may take staged approach, while also keeping them hopeful. Ayurveda gives a framework but patient trust makes the treatment effective. One year is not a long time but it has been enough to show me the value of consistency, clarity and listening more than talking. My aim is not just treating pain but helping people understand their body better, manage lifestyle triggers, and feel supported in the journey of healing!!

Not really the kind of response I was looking for. Feels a bit disconnected from my question.
