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.

To address weakened erections stemming from porn addiction, the principles of Ayurveda offer holistic pathways toward healing. In Ayurveda, this condition could be rooted in an imbalance in the Vata dosha, impacting your Prana Vata and Shukra Dhatu, which are key to sexual health. Here’s a focused approach you can use to strengthen erections naturally, with remedies centered around diet, lifestyle, and Ayurvedic treatments.

First, incorporate foods known to balance Vata like warm, cooked meals, seasoned with digestive spices such as cumin, coriander, and fennel. A daily bowl of kitchari—a mixture of rice and mung dal—provides nourishment without taxing digestion. For a stronger Shukra Dhatu, almonds soaked overnight, adding them with a bit of saffron and cardamom can enhance reproductive health. Ghee is particularly valuable to lubricate and nourish tissues; add a spoonful to your meals.

As for herbal support, Ashwagandha is renowned for its aphrodisiac properties and can be taken twice daily in powdered form with warm milk. Another classical herb, Shatavari, supports overall vitality, also works well with milk. Practice Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil before a shower; it can help to pacify erratic Vata energy, promoting calmness.

In terms of lifestyle, prioritise a regular sleep schedule to regulate circadian rhythms, as sleep disruption affects hormone levels and sexual function. Aim also for stress reduction through yoga or pranayama—alternate nostril breathing—focusing particularly on slower exhale to balance energy.

Lastly, if improvement is sluggish or issues persist, consult an expert Ayurvedic physician for tailored guidance, as excessive symptoms may indicate deeper imbalances. Meanwhile, keeping away from porn exposure is singularly important to break the cycle and encourage healthy erections naturally.

Thanks for sharing. It’s a big step to realise how porn affected you and to actively quit, it shows strength and awareness. 23 year brain is still rewiring, fast and quitting porn is already helping you reconnect with real intimacy in the beginning. It’s normal to feel or frustration, but with time your body starts responding better to real touch and emotional connection staying active eating well getting good sleep and managing stress will help even more you’re not broken. Your just resetting keep going here or simple Ayurvedic medicines, which will further support you with your issue. Yavanamrita vati- Yauvan gold capsule- One tablet each twice daily to be taken after food with warm milk

hello raj, Thank you for sharing so honestly it takes courage to admit this, and you’re already doing the right thing by quitting porn and focusing on real emotional connection. What you’re going through is more common than you think, especially at your age. Watching too much porn overstimulates the Dopamine-Reward system in the brain and disconnects mind from the body which leads to poor erections in real situations, low confidence, and even emotional numbness.

In Ayurveda, this is seen as Shukra Kshaya (reproductive depletion) with Vata imbalance in the Manovaha and Shukravaha Srotas (mind and sexual channels). Since you also had a history of fits (which is a Majja vaha srotas condition), your system is a little more sensitive but absolutely treatable.

✅ What You’re Already Doing Right Quitting porn – excellent first step Focusing on real connection – this naturally grounds Vata and strengthens Ojas Awareness of the pattern – most people never even reach this point

🌿 internal. medications to Restore Erections and Mind-Body Connection Ashwagandha Avaleha – 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily (builds strength + calms mind) Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water after meals (for nervous system + concentration) Kameshwar Modak – 1 modak early morning with milk (strengthens Shukra dhatu + improves libido) Shilajit capsule – 1 capsule at night with milk Brahmi Ghrita – ¼ tsp early morning empty stomach (restores brain-sexual coordination)

🧘‍♂️ Mind-Body Recovery Practices Do Bhramari + Anulom Vilom pranayama 10 mins daily Sit in Padmasana/Siddhasana with eyes closed and focus on breath after sunrise Avoid phone screen before sleeping (at least 1 hour gap) Don’t suppress sleep, hunger, or natural urges — let Vata stay balanced

🍽️ Diet Tips Warm, fresh, ghee-rich food Include soaked almonds, dates, black sesame, cow ghee, moong dal Avoid over-spicy, stale food, soft drinks, and night heavy meals No coffee, no cold drinks, no late nights

🩺 Optional Investigations Serum Vitamin D3 Serum Testosterone Vitamin B12 Thyroid Profile

You’re just 23 — your body can bounce back quickly. You’ve already taken the most important step by quitting the addictive habit. Now give your body and mind the right support to restore balance, confidence, and performance — not artificially, but naturally and deeply.

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

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.

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. 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. 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. Amina CA
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.

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. 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. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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