Dr. Yesha Vyas Shah
I have been practicing Ayurveda since 2010, with a deep commitment to holistic healing and patient-centered care. My journey in the field began as a Medical Officer at Gareja PHC in Porbandar, Gujarat (2006–2008), where I gained valuable grassroots-level clinical experience. In 2008, I expanded my perspective by working as an Ayurvedic Consultant in Berlin, Germany, which enriched my understanding of global wellness expectations and integrative approaches. Since 2010, I have been serving as a Senior Ayurvedic Consultant at Aarsh Ayurveda Health Care in Porbandar. My core areas of expertise include classical Panchakarma therapies, Ayurvedic weight management, nutrition counseling, and Ayurvedic cosmetology. I have been managing Ayurvedic weight and lifestyle interventions since 2012 and have been practicing Ayurvedic cosmetology, including herbal skin and hair therapies, since 2015. I am known for being a patient listener and for forming strong, compassionate connections with those I treat. I believe that healing starts with being understood, and my consultative approach reflects this principle. My practice integrates traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a personalized plan that suits the unique prakriti (constitution) and needs of each individual. Currently, I am in the process of launching a dedicated Garbh Sanskar Centre, where expectant mothers can benefit from Ayurvedic prenatal care, emotional well-being programs, and classical rituals designed to support healthy conception, pregnancy, and fetal development. With over a decade of diverse Ayurvedic practice, I strive to offer authentic, evidence-rooted care in a modern context. I aim to empower my patients with lifestyle changes, preventive care, and deep-rooted healing techniques that foster long-term wellness.

Hello Santosh This condition is not treated by Ayurvedic medicines only… You can have symptomatic relief with help of ayurved medicine and some Panchakarma therapies like Abhyang Swedan and Raktmokshan.

Varicose veins that you’ve been dealing with for over 30 years can definitely create discomfort and complications, especially with symptoms like blisters and rashes. In Ayurveda, varicose veins are related to imbalances in Vata and Pitta doshas, impacting the blood’s movement and causing stagnation in the veins.

Firstly, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical evaluation to assess and address any potential skin infections or ulcers, particularly when blisters and rashes are present. Now, from the Ayurvedic viewpoint, regular self-massage, or Abhyanga, might be of assistance. Use warm sesame or olive oil and massage upward from feet towards the heart daily before showering—this could help enhance circulation and manage Vata imbalance.

Diet plays a pivotal role too. Aim to focus on foods that are sattvic (pure) and easy to digest—warm, cooked meals are preferable. Consuming gingers, garlic, and turmeric are beneficial as they support circulation and reduce inflammation. Stay away from processed foods and excessive oily or spicy dishes, as they may aggravate Pitta dosha.

Incorporate some routine leg elevation into your day, like placing a pillow under your legs during sleep. It can help with venous return. Practicing pranayama (breathing exercises) and yoga asanas like Surya Namaskar, Viparita Karani (leg up the wall pose), and Pawanmuktasana (wind-relieving pose) can also support overall blood circulation but do ensure you perform yoga under guidance to avoid strain.

Herbs like Triphala, Ashwagandha, and Gotu Kola may provide additional support in strengthening vein walls and improving circulation. However, it’s advisable to consult with a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner before beginning any herbal regimen.

Finally, ensure to stay hydrated and take walks regularly to promote better circulation, avoiding sitting or standing for prolonged periods. These recommendations aim to alleviate symptoms but do keep in close collaboration with healthcare providers for management of long-standing issues.

HELLO SANTHOSH,

Varicose veins are primarily due to- -vata vyadhi(abnormal movement and stagnation of vata) -aggravation of Rakta dhatu and Meda dhatu - Dhamani pratichaya(thickening or bulging of veins due to improper flow and waste accumulation)

TREATMENT GOAL -reduce venous congestion and swelling - strengthen vein walls - balance vata (main culprit in varicose veins), while supporting pitta(inflammation) and kapha(stagnation) -protect skin and nerves .

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) KAISHOR GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals = Anti inflammatory, blood purifier

2) PUNARNAVA MANDORR- 2 tabs twice daily after meals =reduces edema, improves circulation

3) SARIVADYASAVA- 15 ml with equal water after meals = pitta-vata balance, blood detox

4) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI- 2 tabs twice daily after meals = diabetic support, urinary clearance, venous strength

5) MANJISTHADI KASHAYA- 20 ml with water twice daily before meals =improves microcirculation, venous strength

6) TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =mild detox, supports bowel function

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) SAHACHARADI TAILA= strengthen nerves and veins, reduces pain and stiffness

2) NIRGUNDI TAILA= anti-inflammatory, relieves swelling

3) MAHANARAYAN TAILA= deep tissue nourishment, relaxes veins

4) KUMARI TAILA= skin rejuvination, prevents ulcers

= warm oil slighlty -massage gently upward on legs from feet to thing , avoiding heavy pressure - let it absorb for 20-30 minutes -wash off with warm water

avoid on open ulcers or infected skin. Do not use very hot oil

IF FEASIBLE GO FOR PANCHAKARMA AS IT IS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN YOUR CASE - LEECH THERAPY - BLOOD LETTING - MEDICATED ENEMA

YOGA AND ASANA yoga helps improve blood return, relieve venous stasis, and strengthen leg muscles

ASANAS -Viparita karani(legs up the wall)- 10-15 mins/day -Tadasana= improves balance, strength -Pawanmuktasana= enhances abdominal and venous circulation -Setu bandhasana= elevates legs and reduce venous pooling -Paschimottanasana= helps in compression and blood movement

Avoid standing poses for long durations. Do not hold poses too long if swelling increases

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED

INCLUDE -warm, light meals= reduces kapha and vata - garlic, turmeric, ginger= natural blood thinners -bottle gourd, ridge gourd, bitter gourd= light on digestion, support sugar control -green gram, barley, red rice= light grains, good fiber -amla= rejuvinator, antioxidant -triphala= gut detox, and helps with digestion - buttermilk(diluted, spiced)= improves digestion and metabolism

AVOID -deep fried, sour, fermented food= aggravates pitta, leads to inflammation -cold drinks, ice cream, curd at night= triggers kapha and congestion - long fasting or heavy meals= disturbs vata - constipation= leads to increased abdominal pressure, worsens varicosity

FOR BLISTERS ON THAT LEG= kindly go for Leech therapy one of the best and very effective

SOME SYMPTOMS WHICH YOU SHOULD NOT IGNORE -watch for sudden pain, ulcers, bleeding or dark skin patches -swelling or color change may indicate venous insufficiency or diabetic complications -if symptoms worsen, vascular evaluation or minimally invasive treatment may be needed-e.g sclerotherapy or laser ablation

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

HELLO SANTHOSH, This condition has been sitting in your body for over 30 years, so it has become deeply chronic and rooted in your skin and blood. The black blisters on the leg with occasional rash suggest dushti of Rakta and Twak dhatu along with vitiation of Vata and Kapha dosha. Since it’s mainly on the right leg, it may also be due to poor circulation or old Ama (toxin) accumulation that your body could never fully eliminate. Now with age, the body’s cleansing ability is reduced, so it keeps expressing through the skin.

We need to first pacify the doshas and purify the blood, and then do gentle Shodhana karma if your body is suitable. Local healing is important to avoid further damage or spreading. If followed properly, this condition can be managed and improved.

Internal Medicines (1 month):

Panchtikta Ghrita Guggulu – 2 tabs twice a day after food Sarivadi Vati – 1 tab twice daily Arogya Vardhini Vati – 1 tab twice daily Manjishtadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 45 ml warm water twice daily after food Haridra Khanda – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water Shodhana Karma / External Medication:

Jatyadi Tailam – apply on blisters and dark patches, leave for 1 hour, then wash Lepa: Mix Triphala churna + turmeric + rose water – apply if rash is active Takra dhara or Dhanyamla dhara on the affected leg can be done if swelling or heaviness is present After initial Shamana treatment, if suitable, Virechana karma or Raktamokshana over leg can be done under supervision Pathya:

Warm, freshly cooked food with ghee Moong dal, lauki, karela, turmeric, neem, methi, bottle gourd Warm water to drink Cow ghee regularly Adequate rest, no suppression of natural urges Light walks in morning sun Apathya:

Curd, fish, eggs, pickles, sour or fermented food Bakery items, fried foods, spicy food Cold water, aerated drinks Sleeping during the day Synthetic clothing or tight socks on the affected leg If investigations are needed:

CBC, ESR FBS/PPBS LFT Vitamin D3 ANA (if autoimmune doubt) IgE (if allergic history is present) If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, DR.Karthika

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

HELLO SANTOSH,

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that are most commonly seen in the legs due to poor circulation and valve function in the veins.

Ayurveda can help reduce symptoms and progression, but complete cure (as in removal of veins) without surgery is usually not possible.

In Ayurveda, varicose veins are generally linked to a vitiation of vata dosha, specifically apana vata, along with rakta dhatu dushti(impairment of blood tissue). the veins lose their elasticity and become enlarged due to poor blood circulation and aggravated vata.

INTERNALLY START WITH

MORNING(EMPTY STOMACH) - RASONADI KASHAYA- 20 ml with warm water = balances. vata kapha, strengthens blood vessels, excellent for improving circulation

-GOTU KOLA CAPSULE- 1 cap with lukewarm water = strengthens vein walls, promotes circulation, anti-inflammatory

-MANJISTHA CAPSULE- 1 cap with warm water = blood purifier, helps reduce vein discolouration and swelling

* AFTER BREAKFAST

-PUNARNAVADI GUGGULU- 2 tabs with warm water = reduces water retention and swelling, supports circulation

-KAISHOR GUGGULU- 2 tabs with warm water =blood purifier, anti inflammatory, reduces swelling in veins

*EVENING(30 MIN BEFORE DINNER)

-MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA- 20 ml with warm water before dinner = deep blood purifier , ideal in long standing venous disorders

-HARIDRA CAPSULE- 1 cap with warm water = anti inflammatory , reduces pigmentation and venous ulcers

*AFTER DINNER

-TRIPHALA GUGGULU- 2 tabs with warm water = mild detox, supports bowel health, improves venous tone

-SAPTAVIMSHATI GUGGULU- 1 tab with warm water = indicated in chronic wounds, ulcers, varicose ulcers

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

-SAHACHARADI TAILA OR NIRGUNDI TAILA= warm slightly , apply gently upward strokes on varicose veins, leave for 30-60 min, then wash off with lukewarm water. use once daily before bath

AVOID deep pressure massage on veins

PANCHAKARMA ADVISED FOR BETTER AND EARLY RELIEF -RAKTAMOKSHANA -VIRECHANA -MASSAE -BASTI

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS -include= warm, lightly spiced, cooked foods, ghee, ginger, garlic

-avoid= cold, dry foods, fried foods, sour curd, fermented food

-drink warm water infused with cumin, or coriander

-control blood sugar strictly, as uncontrolled diabetes worsen circulation.

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA -avoid prolonged standing and sitting -elevate legs while sleeping or resting -wear compression stockings -leg movements every 30 mins if sedentary

YOGA ASANA -viparita karani -tadasana -pawanmuktasana -paschimottanasana

PRANAYAM like anulom vilom and bhramari are helpful to improve circulation and reduce oxidative stress.

While Ayurveda may not completely remove the varicose veins, it can effectively reduce symptoms like swelling, prevent complications and improve vein health over time without surgery.

THANK YOU

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. 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
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. 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. 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. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. 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. 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.

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?

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.

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