hello bayas, What you’re describing that pulling type of pain in the lower abdomen every 20 minutes, urge to pass stool but only gas comes out is most likely a sign of Apana Vata imbalance in Ayurveda. Apana Vata controls the downward movement in the body, like urination, bowel movement, menstruation, etc. When it gets disturbed, the Vata gets stuck in the colon. This leads to this kind of discomfort bloating, frequent urge, and incomplete evacuation feeling.”

It’s a functional issue right now, not necessarily a serious disease but if not managed now, it can progress to IBS-like patterns. The good thing is Ayurveda is very effective in correcting these Vata-related gut issues quickly.”

Internal Medication: (for 2 weeks minimum): Hingvashtaka Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals, 2 times daily Abhayarishta – 20 ml with equal warm water after dinner Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with warm water at bedtime Kutajghan Vati – 1 tab twice daily after food (only if loose stools start)

Diet Tips: Avoid raw vegetables, fruits, cold food, curd, fridge water for now Eat warm, soft food like rice, moong dal, cumin-water, ghee, lightly cooked vegetables Take warm ajwain-jeera-fennel water throughout the day Avoid heavy-to-digest food like wheat roti, chana, fried food, maida

External Support: Apply warm castor oil or sesame oil on lower abdomen before bath Light fomentation (hot water bag) on belly 10 minutes after meals Optional Tests (only if pain continues more than 5 days): Stool Routine Abdominal Ultrasound CBC and ESR

This looks more like a functional Vata-Kapha imbalance than infection, so with this line of treatment you should start feeling relief in 2–3 days itself. Keep your body warm, and avoid suppressing natural urges like fart or urine.

If anything changes or pain increases, do let me know immediately.

Take care, Regards, Dr.Karthika

Take Kutaj ghanvati 1-0-1 after food with water, help reduce feeling of going to toilet Tablet Liv-52 1-0-1 with water after food, This Will improve your digestion capacity, as gas in abdomen shows poor digestion capacity.

Take Hingvastak churan 1/2tsp. With warm water after food twice daily. Follow up after 1 week.

HELLO BAYAS,

Your reported symptoms - lower abdominal pulling pain every 20 minutes for 2 days -urge to defecate frequently , but only gas passes - no chronic illness - age= 45

These symptoms point towards a disturbance in Apana vata, a subtype of Vata dosha that governs the pelvic region, including the colon, urinary bladder, and reproductive organs.

Your symptoms suggest -Anaha= suppressed flatus, discomfort due to gas - Adhmana= gaseous distention in lower abdomen - Vibandha= constipation or incomplete evacuation -Possibly early stage of Grahani: A functional digestive disorder caused by mandagni (low digestive fire)

POSSIBLE CAUSES IN YOUR CASE -eating at irregular times - dry, cold, or gas-producing foods like cauliflower, chana etc - suppression of natural urges - emotional stress or overthinking - vata increases with stress - exposure to cold weather, sitting on cold surfaces - excessive travel or activity

AYURVEDA PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

DOSHA= vata(apana) is vitiated-becomes erratic, cold, and dry DUSHYA= agni(digestive fire) and Malas(waste products, especially faces) SROTAS AFFECTED= annavaha srotas(digestive tract),Purishavaha srotas(colon) SYMPTOMS= pulling pain, bloating, flatus without stool, urge to defecate repeatedly, discomfort

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN

1) AGNI DEEPANA AND AMAPACHANA (stimulating digestion and removing toxins)

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with water water after meals =relieves gas, bloating , colic, kindles digestive fire

-TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey or warm water before mealls = digestive stimulant

-AJWAIN+ ROCK SALT -chew 1 tsp ajwain with a pinch of rock salt -follow with warm water =acts as a natural carminative

2) VATA ANULOMANA(normalising downward movement of vata)

-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night = softens stools, reduces bloating and vata disturbance

-ABHAYARISHTA= 20 ml + 20 ml water after dinner = mild laxative, balances apana vata, improves bowel habits

3) PAIN MANAGEMENT

-DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml + warm water twice daily before meals =releieves deep seated vata related colic, supports apana vata balance

EXTERNAL OIL APPLICATION -Dashmoola taila =warm the oil, apply to lower abdomen and gently massage clockwise for 5-10 min -cover the area with a hot water bag

RECOMMENDED DIET -moong dal khichdi with ghee- easy to digest, balances all doshas - boiled vegetables= ash gourd, bottle gourd, carrots - rice gruel with cumin and rock salt - warm water with ginger, fennel or cumin throughout the day -buttermilk with roasted cumin and hing after lunch

FOODS TO AVOID -cold water and refrigerated food= increases vata, weakens digestion -curd at night= heavily increases kapha and vata - pulses like chana, rajma, urad dal= gas forming - cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli= faltulence - fried and spicy food= disturbs digestive fire, increases pitta-vata - tea, coffee, carbonated drinks= irritate vata and colon

LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS -wake up early by 6 am, bowel habits tend to improve with routine - take a short walk after meals - gentle yoga poses *pawanmuktasana *apanasana *vajrasana after meals -Use a hot water bag over the abdomen for pain relief - keep abdomen warm, avoid sitting on cold surfaces

DON’T -avoid excessive physical exertion -avoid suppressing urge to urinate/pass stool -don’t delay meals or overeat

DO FOLLOW

THANK YOU

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Stomach pain and a frequent urge to use the toilet can be quite discomforting. Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it could possibly indicate an imbalance in the Vata dosha, characterized by irregular or excessive movement within the body, often affecting the digestive system. This imbalance could lead to symptoms like the pulling pain and the sensation of needing to pass stool but only passing gas.

To address the discomfort, consider including warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods in your diet, as these can help pacify Vata. Foods like cooked rice, khichdi (a porridge made from a mixture of rice and lentils), and soups can be soothing to your digestive system. Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods until the symptoms subside, as they can aggravate Vata.

Ginger tea or warm fennel tea after meals may also help in relieving the gas and promoting digestion. Chewing on a small piece of fresh ginger with a dash of rock salt before meals might stimulate your digestive fire, known as ‘Agni’, which is important for effective digestion and assimilation.

In terms of lifestyle, try to avoid rushed activities and create a sense of calm in your routines. Practicing gentle yoga or deep breathing exercises might also support the calming of Vata dosha.

If the pain continues without improvement, and especially if it increases in intensity, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any serious underlying causes. Immediate attention is needed if any new symptoms arise, like fever, vomiting, or severe and persistent pain. Seeking a professional opinion ensures that you receive the appropriate care needed for your condition.

I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

HELLO BAYAS,

SYMPTOMS -pulling pain in lower abdomen (not pricking)-> indicates vata imbalance, particularly apana vata -pain occurs every 20 minutes-> suggests vata vitiation with Vamana vata disturbance affecting gut motility -feeling of urge to defecate often, but only flatus is released -> points to adhmana (bloating) and vibandha (incomplete evacuation) -chronic illness=none- good for response to natural therapy

AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS

PULLING PAIN- vata vyadhi especially apana vata= dry, mobile, irregular sensation

GAS BUT NO MOTION= adhmana/anaha= obstructed vata in colon

FREQUENT URGE= apana vata dushti= imbalanced downward movement

NO APPETITE, HEAVINESS= mandagni(low digestive fire)- poor digestive fire leads to toxin accumulation

STEP 1= STIMULATE DIGESTION AND REMOVE TOXINS

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with ghee before meals thrice daily =reduces gas, improves digestion

-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water at bedtime =helps with bowel evacuation

-SHANKHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =for abdominal cramps, gas

-TRIKATU CHURNA= 1 pinch with honey before meals =boosts digestion

take for 15-30 days

STEP 2= after 15 days of step 1- pacifying apana vata

-DASHMOOLA KWATHA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily after meals =reduces pain, vata pacifier

-ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm milk at bedtime =strengthen apana vata

EXTERNAL THERAPY

-OIL MASSAGE with mahanarayan taila=daily before bath

-Warm castor oil pack on lower abdomen=15-20 mins daily

-Hot water bag fomentation after meals

DIET PLAN

MORNING(empty stomach)= warm water with 1 tsp ghee or cumin tea

BREAKFAST= soft rice kanji or moong dal porridge, with pinch of ajwain

MID-MORNING= roasted fennel seeds or pomegranate

LUNCH= warm khichdi(moong dal+rice), cooked vegetables like pumpkin, bottle gourd, carrot

EVENING= jeera ajwain tea or warm lemon water

DINNER= soft rice, moong dal soup, 1 tsp ghee

BEFORE BED= 1 tsp triphala churna with warm water and ghee

this is sample diet plan, plan your diet accordingly

AVOID STRICTLY -beans like rajma, chole, chana -milk products - raw salads - carbonated drinks, bakery items - leftover food -cold or refrigerated items - cabbage, cauliflower, potato

LIFESTYLE

-wake up by 6-7 am -yoga daily= pawanmuktasana, apanasana, vajrasana, malasana, suryanamskar -10-15 mins walk after meals stimulate digestion -avoid afternoon naps= increases kapha worsens digestion -sleep by 10 pm= prevents vata aggravation at night

PANCHAKARMA ADVISED -basti-medicated enema= best and very effective -virechana

TIMELINE OF RELIEF

DAY 1-3= reduced bloating, better digestion DAY 4-7= reduced pain frequency, better bowel movement WEEK 2= restored agni, minimal or no gas improved comfort WEEK 3= vata stability and digestive health

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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. 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. 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. 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.
