HELLO PAULAMI SEAL,

Your symptoms- difficulty in urination, burning sensation, incomplete emptying, and needing to lie down to urinate- are best explained by a combination of two classical urinary disorder in Ayurveda:

1) MUTRAKRICHCHHRA- DYSURIA/PAINFUL URINATION this include -Sanga mutrakrichchhra= difficulty due to obstruction-common in vata imbalance -Pittaja mutrakrichchhra= burning, irritation, inflammation from pitta -Vataja mutrakrichchhra= intermittent flow, pain, retention

SYMPTOMS= burning micturition, frequent urge, incomplete voiding, discomfort DOSHAS INVOLVED= primarily vata and pitta

2) MUTRAGHATA= OBSTRUCTED URINATION/RETENTION

This refers to incomplete, obstructed, or suppressed urine flow, often due to vata disorders affecting the apana vata(pelvic downward flow), bladder nerves, or musculature

ROOT CAUSES IN AYURVEDA

VATA VITIATION= irregular urination, dryness, difficulty initiating stream

PITTA VITIATION= burning, inflammation, frequent urges, hot flushes

KAPHA INVOLVEMENT= sluggish flow, obstruction due to mucus/sludge

WEAK APANA VATA= improper elimination from bladder, poor downward movement

MENOPAUSAL HORMONAL CHANGES= reduce lubrication and tone in bladder and urethra(pitta-kapha decline)

NEUROLOGICAL BLADDER(possible)= vata disorder affecting nervous control of bladder

POSSIBLE MODERN CORRELATION -interstitial cystitis= chronic bladder pain, and urgency -Urinary retention= possibly neurogenic bladder - Recurrent UTI -Pelvic floor dysfunction -Cystocele(bladder prolapse) in some postmenopausal women

SO it’s essential to rule out physical issues like -post void residual urine(via ultrasound) -UTI(urine routine and culture) -Blood sugar(diabetes)

DETAILED AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

IF FEASIBLE GO FOR PANCHAKARMA NEARBY CLINIC FOR DETOX THERAPY this clears deep-seated toxins and restores doshic balance

1) SNEHAPANA-internal oleation

2) BASTI THERAPY- medicated enema= gold standard treatment for vata disorders

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =urinary tonic, anti-inflammatory, removes blocks

2) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =diuretics, reduces inflammation, improves flow

3) PUNARNAVADI KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daly before meals with warm water =drains excess fluid, detoxifies urinary system

4) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 15 ml before m meals twice daily with warm water =breaks urinary obstructions, supports bladder

5) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk milk at night = moistens tissues, supports hormonal balance

6) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime = regulates apana vata, clears channels

TO USE AT HOME DAILY

BARLEY= natural diuretic= barley water 2-3 times/day

CORIANDER SEEDS= cooling, diuretic= boil 1 tsp in water, drink

COCONUT WATER= soothes pitta- 1 daily mid- morning

CUCUMBER JUICE= clears heat and supports urination- fresh juice daily

JEERA + JAGGERY WATER= balances apana vata= 1 tsp jeera + 1 tsp jaggery in warm water

DIET -warm, light, and easily digestible food - khichdi with ghee -barley, rice, moong dal -ccoked ash gourd, ridge gourd, bottle gourd -coconut water, coriander water, fresh buttermilk -homemade ghee=1 tsp daily

AVOID -spicy, fried, fermented foods -pickles,vinegar, mustard - tea, coffee, soda, alcohol - very cold water or refrigerated food - sitting too long or suppressing urges

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -malasana= opens pelvic floor, releievs retention -bhujangasana= stimulates bladder - vajrasana after meals= aids digestion and downward flow -Anulom Vilom= balances vata pitta -sheetali/sheetakari= cooling breath for burning sensation

SITZ BATH= with warm water + turmeric or salt for 15 mins can also help relax pelvic muscles

If you feel better lying down to urinate, that may indicate a postural issue or bladder prolapse, which needs pelvic floor evaluation

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

hello paulami seal, First of all, you’re not alone—many women silently struggle with similar issues, and I want to reassure you that Ayurveda has a very kind and healing approach to urinary disorders.

What you’re describing — burning while urinating, incomplete emptying, constant urge, and relief only while lying down — all indicate Mutrakricchra (difficulty in urination) and possibly Mutraghata (urinary obstruction) according to Ayurveda.

This condition may be due to a combination of:

Pitta vitiation (causing burning sensation and irritation in the bladder) Apana Vata blockage (responsible for the downward flow of urine, leading to incomplete emptying and discomfort) Possible mild swelling or spasm in the bladder or urethral path, especially if infection or irritation is chronic If you’re perimenopausal (around 44 years), hormonal fluctuations can also contribute to bladder muscle weakness and altered flow The fact that you find some relief while lying down means the pelvic floor and bladder relaxation improves urine flow. So we will treat both the inflammation (Pitta) and flow obstruction (Vata) together.

🌿 Prescription (Ayurvedic Treatment for 6–8 weeks) Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tabs twice daily after meals Gokshuradi Guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily after meals Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 45 ml warm water twice daily before food Punarnavasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner Shatavari Churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime These herbs help in clearing the urinary channels, reduce inflammation, improve Apana Vata function, and prevent future recurrence. 🌿 Local Care (Shamana + Snehana): Warm water sitz bath: Sit in warm water with triphala powder or Neem leaves for 10–15 minutes daily — helps relax the pelvic muscles and soothe local burning Apply castor oil to lower abdomen and inner thighs daily — reduces Apana Vata blockages 🥗 Diet Advice: Avoid sour, spicy, fermented foods (increases Pitta and burning) Avoid heavy-to-digest, fried, or leftover foods Take Jeera-coriander-barley water throughout the day (boil 1 tsp of each in 1 litre) Include lauki (bottle gourd), turai (ridge gourd), and coconut water Avoid curd, especially at night 🧪 Investigations (If not already done): Urine Routine and Culture Pelvic Ultrasound Post-void Residual Volume test Blood Sugar (Fasting/PP) Creatinine You are already drinking good amounts of water — now with the right Ayurvedic support, we can clear the underlying imbalance and help you pass urine freely, comfortably, and completely. Don’t worry — with consistency, this can be corrected without lifelong medication.

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

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with specialized expertise in Shalakya Tantra, focusing on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the Netra (eyes), Karna (ears), Nasa (nose), Mukha (oral cavity), Danta (teeth), and Shira (head and ENT region). My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Thank you for sharing this clearly — your symptoms suggest a Mutrakrichra (difficulty in urination) or Mutraghata (urinary obstruction/retention) condition in Ayurveda. At your age, especially with incomplete bladder emptying, burning, and constant urge, it’s important to act carefully with both Ayurvedic and medical understanding.

Recommended Medical Investigations: 1.Urine routine and culture 2. Ultrasound abdomen + pelvis 3. Check for Creatinine, Urea and fasting blood sugar 3.Post void residual urine (pvr) scan

Internally you can take 1. Punarnavadi kashayam 15ml with 30 ml of warm water before food 2. Chandraprabha vati 2-0-2 after food with warm water 3. Gokshura pana - take 1 litre of water add 1sp of gokshura choonam, boil the water and you can have it throughout the day

Externally: Warm Sitz Bath with Triphala decoction – 10 mins daily for pelvic floor relaxation.

Additionally you can have barley water, coconut water

✅ Do’s

Warm, light meals with ghee

Lukewarm water for drinking

Barley water + Gokshura tea daily

Avoid holding urine

Rest lying on your left side for easier urination.

❌ Don’ts

Avoid spicy, sour, fermented foods (increases Pitta)

Avoid excess coffee, tea, and carbonated drinks

Avoid suppressing natural urges

Don’t sit too long in one position without pelvic mobility.

May your recovery be quick and your health fully restored. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for further guidance. With kind regards, Dr. Sumi.S

Difficulty urinating and the sensation of incomplete bladder emptying are signs that may point to a few underlying issues from an Ayurvedic perspective. Addressing these effectively involves understanding the balance of your doshas, potentially focusing on balancing vata dosha, often responsible for such disruptions.

First, incorporating warming and soothing herbal teas like coriander seed tea might be helpful. Coriander has cooling and diuretic properties, which can reduce burning during urination. Simply add a teaspoon of coriander seeds to boiling water, let it steep for 10 minutes, then strain and drink it twice a day, preferrably in the morning and afternoon.

Introduce cooling foods into your diet, such as cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water, which can help soothe the urinary tract. Reducing foods that exacerbate pitta dosha—like spicy, oily foods, and caffeine—may prevent further aggravation. Instead, opt for a diet high in fresh vegetables and easily digestible foods.

To strengthen your bladder’s function, consider taking Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) or Punarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa), both known to help in urinary disorders. You can take these in powdered form (churna) around a teaspoon with warm water, twice a day after meals. But, always consult with a trained Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure these are suitable for you.

Practicing pelvic floor exercises or yoga asanas like Malasana (Garland pose) can improve bladder control and ease urination when paired with gentle abdominal stretching.

Since your symptoms are quite pronounced—particularly if burning and urgency persist—it’s crucial to rule out any urinary tract infection or other conditions through proper medical evaluation. Modern diagnostic methods can complement the Ayurvedic approach, ensuring the best treatment path is taken. If symptoms persist or worsen, advisably seek immediate medical attention to prevent complications.

Finally, establishing a routine that incorporates stress management techniques like Pranayama or meditation may also be beneficial, as stress can significantly impact bladder function.

HELLO PAULAMI SEAL,

Difficulty urinating with burning sensation and incomplete bladder emptying can significantly affect your quality of life and may be linked to several underlying conditions.

POSSIBLE CAUSES -urinary tract infections -bladder outlet obstruction- urethral stricture -pelvic floor dysfunction - interstitial cystitis -neurogenic bladder

GO FOR THIS INVESTIGATIONS -urine test -ultrasound pelvis, bladder -uroflow meter -cystoscopy if needed

AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS - mutrakrichhra- difficulty in urination - mutraghata- urinary retention or incomplete voiding -often due to vata dosha imbalance obstructing Apana vata which governs urination and elimination

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) NEERI SYRUP= 15 ml twice daily after meals =mild diuretic, reduces burning and urinary frequency, soothes bladder

2) CYSTONE TABLETS= 1 tab twice daily after meals = supports kidney/bladder health prevents infection , balances urinary flow

3) MUTRAKRICHANTAK CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily in morning and night = supports comfortable urination, reduces bloating, helps clear retained urine

4) STONVIL SYRUP= 10 ml twice daily = anti-inflammatory, cooling, mild litholytic, relieves burning micturition

5) URAL SYRUP= 10 ml twice daily with water = very effective in calming urinary discomfort without being harsh or drying

EXTERNAL AND LOCAL THERAPY

-OIL MASSAGE= with dhanwantaram tailam to lower abdomen and lower back

-STEAM= to lower abdomen=helps relax pelvic muscles and improve flow

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -warm, easily digestible foods; avoid spicy, sour, fermented items - drink barley water, coconut water, or coriander water - avoid suppression of natural urges -practice yoga for pelvic health= malasana, baddha konasana, viparita karani

WHEN TO SEEK IMMEDIATE CARE -if burning worsens -fever, chills could mean infection -if you cannot urinate at all or develop pain in the flanks

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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. Khushboo
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.

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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.
