Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

HELLO BALAJI,

corns on the feet can be extremely painful, especially when they become thick or press on nerves.

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT FOR CORN

1) AGNI KARMA -indicated in chronic, painful corn -done by Ayurvedic practitioner using a heated metal rod to burn the corn and destroy the abnormal tissue -provides immediate relief from pain and long-term resolution -requires post-procedure wound care and follow up

2) TOPICAL REMEDIES

*CHITRAKADI LEPA - these are alkali based herbal pastes applied directly on the corn to chemically destroy it. -applied for a few hours and washed off; repeated as needed

*CASTOR OIL + TURMERIC PASTE -apply overnight to soften the corn and reduce inflammation

*GARLIC PASTE -traditional remedy applied to corn to exfoliate and fight infection

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

1) FOOT SOAK -warm water+ rock salt soak for 20 minutes daily to soften the corn -helps in reducing pain and inflammation

2) PUMICE STONE RUB -gently rub the softened corn(after soak) with a pumice stone to gradually reduce the thickness -do not overdo it- avoid bleeding or raw skin

3) FOOTWEAR CORRECTION -use soft , padded footwear and corn pads to reduce pressure - avoid tight shoes and high heels

4) PAIN RELIEF -nrigundi taila massage

TO GET RID OF PAINFUL CORN 1) consult for agnikarma 2) use topical pastes 3) soak and gently file the corn daily 4) use protective footwear to prevent recurrence

THANK YOU

You should consult physician for this ,by that time- Emergency Pain Relief

1. Soak Your Foot – 15–20 minutes

Use warm water + 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt or rock salt

Soak to soften the corn and reduce inflammation

2. Apply Corn-Soothing Paste (Home Remedy)

After soaking and drying:

Mix castor oil + turmeric into a paste and apply on the corn

Cover with cotton and a clean bandage

Do this 2–3 times a day

Don’t cut or peel the corn — it can cause infection and worsen pain.

3. Protect the Area While Walking

Use a corn pad or donut cushion pad (available at any pharmacy)

Wear soft, open footwear or sandals

Avoid pressure on that area completely for 2–3 days if possible

Dr. Manjusha Vikrant Pate
With over 18 years of dedicated Ayurvedic practice, I have focused extensively on treating skin and hair disorders, integrating classical Panchakarma therapies with individualized care. A major aspect of my clinical approach involves Upakarma procedures—supportive therapies within Panchakarma—which I customize based on each patient’s Prakriti (constitutional type). I believe true healing begins when treatments are aligned with the body’s natural balance, and this philosophy guides every aspect of my work. My specialization includes the preparation and use of Ayurvedic formulations that I personally design, including face packs, hair packs, body oils, and facial oils—each one carefully selected and recommended according to the patient’s specific dosha and skin/hair condition. These formulations are result-oriented and rooted in time-tested Ayurvedic principles, ensuring safe, natural, and sustainable outcomes. In my practice, Ayurvedic facials are more than just cosmetic procedures; they are therapeutic treatments tailored to the unique constitution of each individual, aiming to restore inner and outer harmony. By incorporating dosha-based skincare routines and traditional beauty therapies, I help patients achieve visible improvement in conditions like pigmentation, acne, hair fall, and premature aging—without relying on chemical-based solutions. My goal is to blend classical Ayurveda with a practical, patient-focused approach. Whether managing chronic skin concerns, offering customized herbal solutions, or delivering rejuvenative Panchakarma therapies, I ensure each treatment is deeply personalized, holistic, and rooted in authentic Ayurvedic wisdom.

HELLO BALAJI,

Corns are thickened, hardened layers of skin, usually due to friction or pressure. In Ayurveda, this can be correlated with kadara-localised vitiation of vata and Kapha dosha leading to hard, painful tissue formation

So this has to be removed by parasurgical procedures

for this visit any ayurveda practicer nearby for best results

1) AGNI KARMA= thermal cauterization -A controlled therapeutic burn using heated metallic instruments to excise or reduce corn tissue -performedusing a Shalaka(metalic ród) often made of panchadhatu or iron, heated until red hot. - the corn is cleaned with antiseptic herbal decoctions -the hot instrument is applied directly to the corn tissue - the area is cauterised until the corn tissue shrinks or falls off -healing paste like jatyadi ghrita is applied afterwards

BENEFITS -immediate pain relief -prevent recurrence -drains any pus or trapped fluid - bloodless and quick healing with proper post-care

2) KSHARA KARMA= alkaline chemical cauterization Application of herbal alkali to chemically destroy the corn tissue

-the area is cleaned and slightly scarified -a specific kshara such as apamarga kshara is directly applied on the corn - it is left in place for 1-2 minutes or until mild burning is felt - neutralised with lemon juice or ghee and cleaned off -bandaging is done with jatyadi taila dressing

BENIEFITS -non surgical painless compared to agnikarma -penetrates deep tissues and prevent recurrence - especially effective for hard, dry corns

THIS 2 ARE SUGGESTED FOR YOUR TREATMENT SO VISIT NEARBY AYURVEDIC SURGICAL CLINIC FOR THE RELIEF

AYURVEDIC HOME REMEDIES

1) CASTOR OIL + CAMPHOR APPLICATION -mix a few drops of castor oil with a pinch of camphor -warm slightly and apply on corn before bed -cover with bandage or cotton sock -castor oil softens the corn, camphor reduces pain and inflammation

2) TURMERIC PASTE -mix turmeric powder with little neem oil or honey -apply on the corn and cover - acts as an antiseptic and anti inflammatory

3) LEMON JUICE+ BAKING SODA -apply a paste of fresh lemon juice and baking soda at night - softens the corn over time

4) SOAKING FEET IN WARM WATER WITH TRIPHALA -boil triphala powder in water -let it cool to warm, and soak your feet for 15-20 min daily -helps Clean the corn and soften tissues

can apply dashaga lena warm paste externally to reduce inflammation

LIFESTYLE -avoid walking barefoot or wearing tight shoes -use padded footwear or corn pads - avoid sour, spicy, and oily foods-aggravated pitta and rakta - drink warm water to help detoxification -and go for agnikarma or kshara karma for instant relief

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

I hold a BAMS degree from Shree Krishna Government Ayurvedic College, Kurukshetra, and completed my MD in Ayurveda from the esteemed Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune. With over five years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my practice to helping patients manage chronic health conditions, lifestyle disorders, and long-standing imbalances through a holistic lens. My treatment approach integrates the timeless principles of Ayurveda with modern clinical sensibilities. I focus on addressing the root cause of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms. Over the years, I have supported patients suffering from joint and musculoskeletal pain, chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, hormonal imbalances including PCOS and thyroid dysfunction, and neurological concerns like paralysis and post-stroke rehabilitation. Each case is treated with individualized Ayurvedic therapies that may include herbal medicine, Panchakarma detoxification, lifestyle restructuring, and personalized diet plans tailored to the patient's prakriti (body constitution) and vikriti (current imbalance). I provide both in-person and online consultations to make Ayurvedic care accessible and convenient for everyone. My goal in every interaction is to listen with empathy, guide with clarity, and offer treatments rooted in authenticity and clinical evidence. I firmly believe that true healing is a collaborative journey—where the patient and practitioner work in harmony to bring the body, mind, and spirit back into equilibrium. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession—it is a way of life, a science of understanding human nature, and a philosophy of living in sync with the rhythms of nature. I am committed to walking this path with you, offering my knowledge, experience, and care at every step of your healing journey.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing so much pain — foot corns can be quite uncomfortable, especially when they begin to interfere with walking and daily movement.

For effective and long-term relief, I would recommend that you consult a nearby qualified Ayurvedic physician. In such cases, an Ayurvedic procedure known as Agnikarma Chikitsa (therapeutic heat application) is often suggested. It is a well-established treatment in Ayurveda for localized growths like corns, and when done by a trained expert, it can provide significant relief and help prevent recurrence.

Please do not delay, as early intervention can ease your pain and speed up healing. Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery!

hello Balaji , A corn happens when the skin gets thickened due to pressure or friction usually from tight footwear or standing too long. In Ayurveda, we call this Padadari or Charmakeela, often related to Vata and Kapha imbalance. It leads to hard skin, dryness, and deep-seated pain. The aim is to soften the skin, reduce thickening, and clear the root layer slowly without surgery.

Ayurvedic Treatment Plan (Continue for 3–6 weeks) 1. External Application (Daily Night)

Apply warm castor oil or Karanja taila over the corn at night, cover with soft cotton After 5–10 minutes, apply Dashanga Lepa or Triphala churna paste (make paste with warm water or honey) Cover with cotton gauze and wear a loose sock

2. Foot Care Once Weekly

Soak feet in warm water with rock salt and turmeric for 15 minutes Gently scrub corn with pumice stone — don’t force it Dry well and repeat oil + paste treatment

3. Internal Medicines

Guggulu Tiktaka Ghritam – 1 tsp with warm water in morning Triphala Guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily after food 4. Avoid

Tight or hard footwear Prolonged standing on hard floor barefoot Excess dry or sour food (they increase Vata and worsen corns) With this approach, the corn softens naturally and sheds off layer by layer. If it’s very old, it may take 4–6 weeks.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, regards, dr.Karthika

Corn on the foot can be painful indeed, impacting your daily activities. In Ayurveda, it’s understood as an imbalance that can forcefully affect the skin tissue. Focusing on both external treatment and internal balancing can provide relief.

Externally, applying a herbal paste can be helpful. Mix turmeric powder with coconut oil to make a thick paste and gently apply it to the affected area. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and coconut oil is both soothing and moisturizing. Do this before bedtime and cover it with a soft bandage to let it work overnight.

Internally, try addressing any underlying dosha imbalances. Corns can often relate to Kapha imbalance, leading to excess thickness and growth. A Kapha-pacifying diet enhances the healing process. Consider warm, light meals, and avoid heavy, oily, and cold foods. Incorporate foods like green leafy vegetables, ginger, and turmeric in your diet.

For pain relief, soaking your feet in warm water mixed with Epsom salt and a few drops of eucalyptus oil can provide soothing comfort. This should ideally be done twice daily for about 15 minutes, as it helps to soften the corn and reduce pressure.

Maintaining good foot hygiene is also crucial. Wear comfortable shoes that do not apply excessive pressure on the corn. Tight shoes can worsen the condition, so ensure your footwear allows room for your toes to breathe and move.

If corn persists or becomes significantly painful, it is essential to seek professional medical advice to explore options like surgical removal. While treating at home can be comforting, persistent symptoms need a health practitioner’s evaluation to prevent further complications. And remember, consistent daily care is key in managing and reducing the corn effectively.

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. 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. 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. Sanchi Damodhar
I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

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. 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. Cherukuri Savitha Varenya
I am Dr. Cherukuri Savitha Varenya — Ayurvedic physician with a heart set on blending classical healing with today’s complex health realities. My early clinical experience was rooted in pediatric and neonatal care, where I worked as a Duty Medical Officer at Ankura Hospitals and also at Paramita. Those years in the NICU and PICU taught me more than just protocols — how to really hold space for families in chaos, how to stay calm, and how small things matter... like explaining something twice if needed, or just sitting down next to a worried parent. That grounding in acute care gave me a different lens when I stepped deeper into Ayurveda. I started exploring traditional systems more deeply — Siddha medicine caught my attention first, then marma therapy. I trained at Chakrasiddh Holistic Healing Centre, where the cases were not always straightforward. Chronic pain, neuro issues, degenerative stuff, lifestyle burnout — we weren’t just treating, we were unblocking. That work showed me how body memory holds trauma, and how marma can quietly reset systems that are stuck. Right now, I’m part of the clinical and research team at Vasavi Ayurveda, where I’m involved in herbal formulation — and it’s really rewarding. Developing products that are not only rooted in Ayurvedic texts but backed by evidence & outcomes is something I care about deeply. We're not just bottling herbs — we’re trying to build trust through results. Whether I’m working with children, supporting women with hormonal irregularities, or designing a remedy for joint stiffness — I try to bring empathy first. I don’t rush through consultations. I listen, ask again if needed, and tailor treatments that feel livable to the patient. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all protocols, never did. Ayurveda isn’t separate from life. It is life, seen through a different lens. I just try to help ppl see that clearly, one case at a time.

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.

I am still kinda wrapping my head around how much has happned in just these last 8 months. I got to see over 500 patients—not just names on a file but real ppl with stories, symptoms that didn’t match books, and responses to treatment that taught me a lot more than classroom ever did. Every single case added something—sometimes confidence, sometimes doubt, but mostly clarity about why Ayurveda needs to be personal. That whole idea of root-cause isn’t just a phrase to me now, cause I’ve actually *done* the work of figuring it out—through prakriti reading, hetu analysis, tailoring herbs to that one stubborn thing that wouldn’t budge unless I got it right. Started off at the Govt Ayurveda Dispensary, Paingottoor (Mar-April 2024), juggling OPD and learning to keep things practical—what you *can* do with limited time and still follow classical line of treatment. Moved to Nellimattom next month, same OPD scene but somehow I felt more ready—like I knew what I was looking for during consultation. Then came the big shifts—District Ayurveda Hospital, Thodupuzha—Shalya Tantra for a month (May-June). Learning surgical concepts, wound management, minor procedures, all that opened up a whole diff layer of Ayurveda for me. After that was NARIP, Cheruthuruthy (June-July)—real-deal Panchakarma, hands-on, under ppl who *really* knew the texts and the techiques. I saw how deep detox can go when it’s done right. Then Shalakya Tantra (ENT + eye care, July-Aug)—very niche but suprisingly common complaints. By Sept I was at Sparsh Ayurvedic Clinic, Nellimattom, and that place blended modern diagnostics with our way of thinking. Helped me sharpen decisions fast, without losing authenticity of the classical tools. All that put together—it's shaped me into a doctor who listens more, assumes less, and keeps asking, "what’s *actually* causing this?” before reaching for a remedy. I want my patients to heal for real—not temporarily cope. That's the goal every single time.

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.
