I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

HELLO ASTHA,

YOU MENTIONED,

-constipation since school age -going upto 10 days without a bowel movement - hard stool and straining while passing it - you’re 20 years old, no chronic illness

This qualifies as chronic functional constipation, likely due to lifestyle , diet, and gut motility issues, possibly compounded by Vata dosha imbalance in Ayurveda.

In Ayurveda, chronic constipation is due to - vata imbalance, especially in Apana Vayu(responsible for elimination) -dryness, coldness, and lack of lubrication -weak agni(digestive fire)

LIKELY CAUSES -dry, cold, processed food - irregular eating and sleeping - sedentary life -stress and worry(vata emotions)

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

1) INTERNAL OLEATION lubricaing intestine to soften stool -GHEE IN WARM MILK(bedtime) =1-2 tsp cows ghee in a cup of warm milk at night daily

GANDHARVA HARITAKI CHURNA= 1 tsp with 1 tbsp castor oil = best to relieve constipation

2) TRIPHALA CHURNA - 1tsp triphala+ warm water at bedtime daily -supports digestion, detox, and regular bowel movement - if not willing total churna then triphala tablet (500mg)= 2 tabs at night

3) CASTOR OIL CLANSING= VERY IMPORTANT -take 2 tsp castor oil + warm milk once in 7 days -acts as a natural ,effective laxative -do not overuse, only occasionally for deep cleansing

4) ISABGOL WITH WARM MILK -2 tsp isabgol+warm milk before bed -soaks water and bulk stool -avoid with cold water, that may aggravate vata

NOTE= USE ALL ABOVE ALTERNATIVELY MEANS ONE FORMULATION FOR A WEEK THEN CHANGE TO OTHER ; DON’T TAKE ONE FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME (because it may adapt to body and will not give desired result)

MEDICATIONS TO START WITH

1) ABHAYARISHTA= 15ml with water twice daily after meals

2) AVIPPATIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before meals half n hour twice daily -helps in consitpation and acidity

3) SUKUMAR GHRITA= 1 tsp with milk in morning =especailly good for females and vata type constipation

LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT

MORNING ROUTINE goal= establish a daily bowel rhythm

upon waking -wake up early by 6 am -drink 2 glasses of warm water can add lemon + pinch of salt/ghee - sit on the toilet at the same time- even without urge -practice rest and contract method= sit calmly, do deep breathing, relax your belly - Avoid phones or books while sitting

TRY POSES LIKE -malasana(yoga squat) -pawanmuktasana -trikonasana

* Use a small stool under your feet while sitting on the toilet. It stimulate a natural squatting position and reduces straining

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS

INCLUDE -warm water with lemon= stimulates colon -ghee 2 tsp daily or more= lubricates intestines -papaya, figs, prunes, raisins= natural laxatives -spinach, bottle gourd, ridge gourd= soothing on gut - whole grains(millets, oats)= high fiber - butter milk with roasted jeera= improves digestion

AVOID STRICTLY -cold water, fridge items= inhibits digestion -dry snacks(chips, biscuits)= aggravates vata - fried foods, fast foods= hard to digest - tea/coffee excess= dehydrates colon -overeating excess= dehydrates colon - overeating= weakens digestive fire -refined grains, maida= low fibre

HYDRATION AND FLUIDS -aim for 2.5- 3 Liters water/day - use warm or room temperature water only -include soups, steamed veggies, herbal teas

MIND- BODY COONECTION

STRESS AND CONSTIPATIONS ARE LINKED -practice daily meditations= 10 min -try Bhramari Pranayam and Anulom-vilom -get 7-8 hours of restful sleep

YOGA ASANA TO RELIEVE CONSTIPATION(DO DAILY) you can do these in morning on an empty stomach

just 15-30 minutes daily can bring big changes

1) pawanmuktasana= relieves gas, bloating, and stimulate large intestine 2) malasana= mimics natural pooping posture, opens pelvic floor and helps elimination 3) ardha matsyendrasana= massages liver, kidneys, and intestines . improves digestion 4) bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs, reduces sluggish digestion 5) Trikonasana= improves digestion, stretches the colon and obliques 6) Vajrasnaa= after meals, open pose safe after meals. helps digestion and prevents gas formation 7) Apanasana= soothes lower abdomen, improves bowel movement

You’re young and your body will respond well to consistent efforts. But the key is CONSISTENCY>INTENSITY

Stick to these methods for at least 6-8 weeks

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Hello Aastha, Thanks for opening up about this and I really feel for you. Not pooping for even 10 days at times is definitely not something to ignore. What you’re describing is a classic case of chronic Vata imbalance, especially Apana Vata dushti, which governs downward movement in the body like bowel motion, menstruation, urination. Over time, when Apana Vata gets blocked or weakened due to wrong eating, stress, dehydration, or even childhood habits, it can cause stools to become dry, hard, and painful to expel. In Ayurveda, we also consider this a sign of Pakvashayagata Vata, which means Vata is trapped in the large intestine (colon), drying and blocking the system.

This doesn’t just affect your stomach when you don’t clear your bowels, toxins (Ama) keep circulating in your system, affecting your skin, mood, appetite, and long-term health. But don’t worry this can be gently corrected by unblocking Apana Vata, lubricating your intestines, softening the stool, and rebuilding a rhythm in your body. You’re young and if you work on it now, this pattern can change completely.

Prescription

Triphala churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water or warm milk Gandharvahastadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water twice daily before food Castor oil (organic, edible) – 2 tsp in warm water once or twice a week early morning (on empty stomach) till bowels regulate Panchatikta Ghrita or Mahatiktaka Ghrita – 1 tsp early morning on empty stomach with warm water for 3 weeks Abhyanga (oil massage) on abdomen, lower back, and thighs using warm sesame oil daily before bath

Diet Guidelines Drink warm water only — especially early morning, 2 glasses minimum Avoid dry, cold, packaged, or fried foods Add ghee to all your meals (at least 1 tsp twice daily) Eat soaked black raisins (5–6), figs (2), and 5 soaked almonds every morning Include boiled vegetables, moong dal, soups, and thin rice gruel in dinner Don’t skip meals, and avoid eating late at night If you have a habit of scrolling phone in toilet, stop — just sit with calm and light breath

Optional Investigations Vitamin D3 Thyroid Profile CBC Stool routine and culture (to rule out any gut flora issues)

Once your bowel gets the rhythm again, you’ll feel the difference lighter body, calmer mind, better sleep. Start gently but consistently.

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

Addressing long-standing constipation, especially over several years, requires a comprehensive approach, examining lifestyle, diet, and potential Ayurvedic solutions. The issue indicates a possible imbalance in the Vata dosha, leading to a weakened agni, or digestive fire. Restoring balance involves nurturing agni, softening stools, and supporting regular bowel movements.

Firstly, analyze your daily routine to incorporate hydration. Ensure you are drinking sufficient warm water throughout the day, but especially in the morning to help stimulate bowel movements. The warmth aids in smoother digestion and vata pacification.

When it comes to diet, incorporate warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods. Stewed fruits, vegetables such as carrots or sweet potatoes, and grains like rice or oats can be beneficial. Cook with spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel to enhance digestion. Ghee is particularly helpful; take one teaspoon of warm ghee with warm milk before bedtime to enhance bowel movement the next morning.

Ensure your meals are taken at regular intervals to stabilize digestion, avoid cold, heavy, and dry foods, as they aggravate vata. For fiber, include psyllium husk (isabgol) before bed with warm water. It can help in making the stools softer.

A habit worth incorporating is regularity in your sleeping and waking hours, specifically aiming for early mornings when bowel movements are daha. Engage in regular physical activities like a light morning walk or yoga poses such as “Pawanmuktasana” (Gas releasing pose) to facilitate peristalsis.

Ayurvedic herbs might also support this, such as Triphala churna, taken with warm water before bed. It has gentle laxative properties and aids in detoxifying the colon.

Avoid suppressing natural urges and ensure stress is managed, as it can increase vata, further contributing to constipation. Seek professional Ayurvedic guidance to assess and tailor further specifics in your treatment. If the problem persists or worsens, consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues needing immediate attention.

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.

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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: 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. 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. 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. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

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.

I am someone who really believes that Ayurveda isn’t just about giving herbs and oils—it's more like a whole way of looking at the body, the habits, the food, and how everything connects together. I got solid training in Ayurvedic clinical practice and feel most confident when I'm using therapies like Panchakarma or planning proper Shodhana for someone who's stuck in a cycle of chronic illness or stress-related issues. There’s just something powerful about seeing how classical cleansing can bring that shift in energy and clarity for ppl who've tried everything else. I work a lot on dosha assessment—sometimes it takes a bit of digging cause symptoms don’t always line up in a textbook way. But once I figure out what’s really going off-balance, I try to make treatment super personalized. It’s not just about giving a kashayam or lepa... I spend time explaining diet changes, routines, sleep timing, and even emotional triggers when needed. Many people don’t realise how big a role lifestyle play in their conditions. Right now, I’m mostly focused on lifestyle disorders and detox-based therapies. Things like PCOS, fatty liver, skin allergies, joint stiffness, IBS, anxiety-linked issues… those come up a lot. I try not to rush. I’d rather go slow n consistent, combining classical concepts with modern diagnostics if needed. Blood tests, reports, scans—they help me track things while still keeping the treatment Ayurvedic in core. I’m also pretty organized about documenting my cases—not just for reference but to understand patterns better. I guess every case teaches you something new, even after hundreds of patients. And I do keep learning, whether it’s updating protocols or trying to refine a virechana schedule that didn’t go as planned. In the end, for me it’s really about finding that balance for each person... not just patching the symptom. I think that’s where Ayurveda really shines.

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.
