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 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.

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.

I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

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. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

Dr. 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. 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. 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.
