I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief.

HELLO NANDINI,

Recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease, repeated miscarriages, and persistent ovarian cysts can be incredibly distressing- especially when conventional treatment haven’t offered lasting relief.

1) PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE= in yourveda, PID can be understood under yoniroga(disorders of the female reproductive system), often associated with vata-kapha imbalance, ama(toxins) accumulation , and rakta dushti -vitiation of blood tissues.

2) RECURRENT OVARIAN CYST LEFT SIDE -often considered a manifestation of kapha- vata vitiation in the artava dhatu(reproductive tissue). the cyst may help recurring due to unresolved systemic imbalances

3) HYPOTHYROIDISM -related to weakened digestive/ metabolic fire and imbalance in kapha-vata doshas, indirectly contributing to hormonal imbalance and sluggish metabolism

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT this includes internal medications, panchakarma detox, and herbal medications

1) PANCHAKARMA -VIRECHANA= helps eliminate toxins and balance pitta and vata doshas. effective in chronic PID

- UTTARA BASTI= very effective for chronic PID, infertility, and cyst dissolution . done post menstrual phase.

-YONI PICHU= can be used for local healing =dashmoola taila or shatavari ghrita

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS 1)ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal wtaer twice daily after meals

2) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs after meals twice daily

3) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs after meals twice daily

4)PUNARNAVADI KASHAYA= 15ml with water before lunch and dinner

5) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime

6) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 15ml with water before breakfast and dinner

7) PUNARNAVA MANDUR=2 tabs after meals twice daily

8) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 1 tab after dinner

ALOE VERA JUICE= 15 ml with warm water + pinch of turmeric empty stomach in morning

DIET

AVOID -heavy, fried, cold, and processed foods - dairy ( if mucus-forming) , red meat, sugar - excess salt and spicy foods

INCLUDE -warm, light, easy-to-digest meals - cooked vegetables like bottle gourd, pumpkin, spinach - mung dal, rice, ghee in moderation -herbal teas= cumin coriander fennel tea, turmeric milk -pomegranate, amla, dates= natural iron

LIFESTYLE TIPS -Avoid cold exposure especially around the lower abdomen -maintain hygiene during periods - practice gentle yoga= suptabadha konasana, setu bandhasana, viparita karani -Stress management= practice meditation, pranayam-nadi sodhana, bhramari

Ayurveda works holistically and often needs 3-6 months for chronic conditions -panchakarma + internal medications+ lifestyle= the best long term solution

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

Hey nandini, sorry to hear your pain.

If already you have gone through many medication, i recomend you for personal consultation to ayurvedic stree rog visheshagya near by, so that proper examination and personal history can be taken. And some therapies like basti and pichu dharan will help you. Make an appointment with a specialist pelvic physiotherapist to address pain and adhesions.

Hey Nandini Agarwal listen, I know you’ve been through a lot with your health and I really want to explain what’s happening inside your body in a way that actually makes sense, okay? So what you’re dealing with this recurring pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) it’s not just a random infection that keeps coming back. It’s like your body’s way of telling you that something deeper needs healing. That first time, when it led to the ectopic pregnancy, and again later when it caused a miscarriage, your body went through trauma emotionally and physically. And when that kind of thing happens, especially repeatedly, the whole system especially your pelvic area gets disturbed.

In Ayurveda, we call that space your Apana Vata zone it controls your uterus, ovaries, tubes, periods, even elimination. When Apana Vata gets disturbed, things like irregular bleeding, inflammation, pain, discharge, and even trouble conceiving can happen. That’s what’s been going on with you.Now add to that the ovarian cyst on your left side that keeps coming and going — that’s another sign your body is holding on to something. It’s not just hormonal. It’s also about Kapha and Meda kind of like stuck fluid and tissues that aren’t moving or clearing the way they should. When your body can’t break it down, it forms these little pockets cysts.And even though you’ve taken so many antibiotics (I know you’ve done everything you could), the root imbalance hasn’t been corrected that’s why it keeps coming back. Because antibiotics kill bacteria, yes… but they don’t heal your tissues, your hormones, your energy flow.

1. Internal Medicines (to take daily for 3–6 months)

1.Pushyanug Churna – 1 small spoon (2–3g) with honey or rice water This helps reduce inflammation in the uterus, supports healing, and controls white discharge or spotting. 2.Sootshekhar Rasa – 1 tablet before food, twice daily This calms the burning, pain, and acidity – all of which worsen when Pitta is high in your body. 3.Kanchnar Guggulu – 2 tablets after meals, twice daily This is for your cyst – it gently works on dissolving it and prevents it from coming back again and again. 4.Ashokarishta + Kumaryasava – 15 ml each mixed with equal water, after food They work together to balance your hormones and improve your menstrual flow and tone of the uterus. 5.Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets at bedtime with warm water A great all-rounder – it helps cleanse your pelvic area, supports your urinary system, and brings energy back. (Optional if you’re weak or want to work on fertility) 6.Shatavari granules – 1 spoon with warm milk at night This nourishes your womb, improves fertility, and supports emotional calmness.

2. External & Panchakarma Therapies

1.Yoni Prakshalana (vaginal herbal wash) – Triphala decoction, 2–3 times a week This helps cleanse infection naturally and restore healthy vaginal flora. 2.Warm Lepa (herbal paste) on lower belly – Triphala + Dashamoola powder paste, 30 min daily Reduces inflammation, bloating, pain, and works on cyst from the outside. 3.Basti (medicated enema) – One monthly cycle (ideally 8 days, supervised by a doctor) This is the main therapy to balance Apana Vata and heal the root issue. It improves reproductive function and prevents recurrence.

PATHYA and APATHYA: Avoid cold food, curd, fried and heavy items – they worsen Kapha and block your channels Sip warm water throughout the day Keep your bowels clear daily Try gentle yoga (Malasana, Baddha Konasana) to improve pelvic circulation Sleep on time, stay warm during periods, and keep emotional stress low as much as possible

Hello , thank you so much for the help. Can u take Thai ayurveda treatment along with the antibiotics ?

hi thank you for your reply ! Honestly, in your case, Thai Ayurveda might relax the body, but it won’t heal the root issue. The constant cysts and infections are signs of deeper imbalance both in modern terms (chronic inflammation, hormone disturbance) and in Ayurveda (Apana Vata, Kapha-Pitta issues). Panchakarma, especially Basti and Uttarbasti, can actually repair, detox, and reset your reproductive system from the inside out.That’s the real long-term solution your body’s asking for.

Hello Nandini Agrawal, Thank you for sharing your concern. I can understand your journey through recurrent Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and recurrent ovarian cyst which is both emotionally and physically exhausting but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

** AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE** Your condition is seen in Ayurveda as: ☑️Yoni Vyapad (Chronic Reproductive Tract Inflammation) ☑️Caused by Vata–Kapha Dushti ☑️Leading to blockage, pus, cyst formation and recurrent infections

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

✅ Internal Medication 1 Kanchanar Guggulu 1-0-1 after food ( Helps to Shrink ovarian cysts ) 2 Chandraprabha Vati 2-0-2 after food ( acts as a Urogenital detoxification) 3 Ashokarishta 15 ml each with equal water after meals (Acts as a Uterine toner) 4 Sukumaram Kashayam 15ml-0-15ml with warm water after food (Balances Vata, relieves pelvic congestion) 5 Shatavari capsule 1 at bedtime ( Reproductive nourishment & strength)

✅External Treatment ☑️ Vaginal Cleanse + Oil Massage Herbal Sitz Bath– 4 times /week Nimba + Aragwadha sitz bath - take 5 gm of each in 3 litres of water boil and reduce to half and pour it in the a tub. Sit in the tub for 15 mins

☑️Warm Oil Massage 3timesweek Use Balashwagandhadi Taila Apply to lower abdomen + back Helps yo Improves circulation, reduces congestion & Vata

❌Avoid:

Cold exposure to lower abdomen Tight clothing or long sitting hours Intercourse during active infection or heavy discharge

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include: Warm, cooked meals with ghee Moong dal, barley, lauki, methi Garlic, ginger, turmeric Pomegranate, black raisins, amla Jeera–ajwain water (sipping all day)

❌ Avoid: Curd, paneer, cold milk, cheese Sugar, cold drinks, bakery Late-night meals Spicy/oily junk food that aggravates Pitta

*** When to Consider Surgery?***

Only if: The cyst is very large + painful + not responding to herbs or if Tubes are permanently blocked with pus But in most non-infected, recurring cysts, Ayurveda is highly effective in both prevention & cure.

this will help you to ✅Detox the reproductive system ✅ Stop recurrence of PID ✅ Prevent cysts and inflammation ✅ Nourish the uterus and ovaries for future fertility ✅ Rebuild strength emotionally and physically

Nandini ji, you’ve gone through so much but your uterus, ovaries, and tubes still deserve healing. You can absolutely heal naturally, one step at a time With strength, support & restoration

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

I began my professional journey as a Duty Doctor at VBR Multispeciality Hospital, where I had the opportunity to manage a wide range of patient cases across various departments. This experience laid the foundation for my clinical approach—rooted in attentiveness, responsibility, and a deep respect for integrative healing systems. In 2021, I took a significant step forward by establishing my own practice, Prakriti Healthcare, with the vision of offering personalized and holistic Ayurvedic care. Through this clinic, I have been able to work closely with patients struggling with chronic illnesses, lifestyle-related disorders, and stress-related health conditions. My approach combines classical Ayurvedic principles with modern-day practicality, making healing accessible and sustainable for each individual. In September 2023, I joined Wellness by Heartfulness as an Ayurvedic Physician. This role has further enhanced my ability to provide community-based, preventive healthcare grounded in mindfulness, sattvic living, and traditional Ayurvedic therapies. It has also allowed me to work within a multi-disciplinary wellness model that emphasizes harmony between mind, body, and spirit. Most recently, in February 2025, I was honored to take on the role of Medical Reviewer at PharmEasy, where I contribute to ensuring the medical accuracy and relevance of healthcare content. This opportunity allows me to bridge clinical knowledge with patient education, helping people make informed health decisions online. My journey so far reflects a commitment to both traditional wisdom and evidence-based practice. Whether it’s through direct patient care or medical writing, my goal remains the same: to promote healing that is personalized, preventive, and empowering.

Recurrent Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), ovarian cysts, and associated fertility issues point towards deep-seated inflammation, hormonal imbalance, and low reproductive immunity—especially with hypothyroidism.

Ayurveda addresses these concerns holistically through detoxification (Shodhana), strengthening the reproductive system (Garbhashaya shuddhi and Rasayana), and correcting hormonal imbalance.

I recommend an in-depth consultation to plan a personalized treatment approach, which may include uterine detox, panchakarma, and herbal rasayana therapy to support fertility and prevent recurrence.

With consistent care, healing and conception are possible.

Recurring pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a serious condition, and your situation seems quite challenging. In Ayurveda, this can often be attributed to an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas. Encouraging a harmonious lifestyle and dietary practices along with herbal remedies may assist in managing the symptoms and potentially addressing the root imbalances.

First, consider incorporating cooling and anti-inflammatory foods. Focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet, which includes ample fresh fruits like pomegranate, watermelon, and veggies like cucumber and asparagus. Avoid spicy, fried, and overly acidic foods which can aggravate Pitta.

Include Ayurvedic herbs like Ashoka and Shatavari; they are traditionally used to support female health by potentially reducing inflammation and promoting balance in the reproductive system. Ashoka can help in balancing menstrual cycles, while Shatavari is known for its rejuvenative properties for female health.

Ensure proper hydration and digestion as they are vital. Drinking warm water with ginger throughout the day may help maintain Agni (digestive fire) at its optimum level. Triphala powder before bed may help with digestion and detoxification, assisting in reducing toxins (ama) in the body.

A regular routine with stress management techniques can also be beneficial for balancing Vata. Incorporate daily practices such as gentle yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathing exercises) which might help in calming the nervous system.

For the ovarian cysts, consider castor oil packs applied to the lower abdomen for 30 minutes daily. The warmth and properties of castor oil may aid in reducing cysts. However, do not apply during menstruation.

Given your history of ectopic pregnancies and miscarriage, a holistic and cautious approach is crucial. Pelvic inflammatory disease can lead to fertility issues and requires professional medical guidance. While these Ayurvedic practices can support your health, please consult a healthcare provider or an Ayurveda practitioner to tailor these recommendations to your specific needs and ensure all health concerns are addressed safely.

I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

I am 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. 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. Manjusha Vikrant Pate
I am practicing Ayurveda since 18+ years now, and honestly... it still surprises me how much I keep learning especially when it comes to skin and hair. My focus—if I had to sum it up—is deeply rooted in Panchakarma, but more specifically in *Upakarma* therapies. These smaller, supportive steps within the Panchakarma frame can be powerful if you adjust them exactly right to a person’s *prakriti*. That’s actually where my attention goes first—understanding their natural constitution. Because once that’s clear, everything else sort of falls in place. I work a lot with chronic and tricky skin issues like pigmentation, hair fall, premature ageing, even stubborn acne that just doesn’t respond to regular creams and pills. And no—I don’t use shortcuts. I rely on traditional protocols, yes, but also create my own Ayurvedic blends—like facemasks, oils, even hair packs. These aren’t random—they're planned, adjusted, dosha-specific, and meant to *actually* support the skin's natural cycle. I’ve spent years refining these formulations, keeping them close to classical wisdom but tweaking them slightly when needed for a person’s lifestyle or condition. Ayurvedic facials in my clinic aren't just glow-up routines. They’re built to go deep—cleanse the layers, calm pitta excess or vata dryness, stimulate sluggish kapha skin... whatever’s needed. And I find that when these treatments are given at the right time, in the right sequence—results show up clearly, not just externally but also in the way ppl feel about themselves. There's a calmness, a reset almost. I don’t push chemical-based stuff, even when patients ask for it. Instead, I educate—like how proper *abhyanga* or a dosha-correct oil can do far more than a synthetic serum. My aim is to blend the core of Ayurveda with practical, everyday guidance. I don't just want patients to come for sessions—I want them to *understand* what's going on in their skin or hair and how to maintain it naturally. Things don’t always go perfect, sometimes I still need to rethink protocols mid-way, but I guess that’s what makes the process human... and real.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

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. 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. 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. Vijayalaxmi Teradahalli
I am an Ayurvedic physician with clinical experience in both integrative setups and more focused specialty roles—which honestly gave me a pretty wide-angle view of how Ayurveda fits into modern patient care. I worked as the Clinic Head at Madhavbaug in Bangalore, where I wasn’t just doing OPD rounds—I was planning full treatment flows, coordinating team work, following up lab trends, and helping ppl navigate chronic issues like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and early-stage cardiac concerns. That job made me think way more about how Ayurveda can support preventive cardiology, not just wait for something to go wrong. Then came a whole different space—my time as duty doctor at a maternal hospital. It was intense, but super valuable. I worked closely with mothers through their antenatal and postnatal phases, and learned how to weave Ayurvedic support into that space without overloading the system. Like, knowing when to use a herbal decoction vs when just timing a meal better might shift the outcome. There were also moments where I had to adjust protocols based on what was happening in real time—not everything follows the textbook. Across both places, one thing stayed common—I focused hard on root-cause thinking. Not just patching up numbers or covering symptoms. I try to build care that lasts beyond that one consult. Whether it’s tweaking an oil to match a dosha shift, or helping someone actually follow a sleep routine without making them feel guilty for missing it... I believe real care is flexible, but still rooted in the classics. I use Panchakarma selectively—like Virechana or Basti when truly called for—and combine that with solid dietary advice, patient-led journaling, and mind-body awareness. I don't force rigid changes. I work with the patient's rhythm. That way it sticks better. For me, it’s not just about prescribing herbs or quoting sutras. It’s about building trust, helping people reconnect with their bodies, and using Ayurveda in a way that fits their life—not in a way that overwhelms it. That’s the kind of work I’m trying to build, one step at a time.

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.

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?
