HELLO NITHYA, You are naturally lean, with low body weight (43 kg at 160 cm) and also have PCOD, which already indicates that your digestion (Agni) and nutrient absorption (Rasa–Dhatu poshan) are weak. Since you’re Pitta-dominant, there’s internal heat and occasional bloating, which shows a mix of high Pitta and irregular Vata. So, though you may be eating, your body is not absorbing and building enough tissue — especially Rasa, Mamsa and Meda dhatus (fluid, muscle, fat layers). We have to balance your digestion without increasing heat, calm your Pitta-Vata, and slowly build healthy weight. If you try to eat oily or heavy foods directly, your bloating and heat will worsen. So we will improve absorption first, then increase nourishment gradually.

Internal Medicines (minimum 6 weeks):

Sutashēkhara Rasa – 1 tablet before lunch and dinner with warm water Drakshadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water after lunch and dinner Phalasarpi Ghrita – 1 tsp in the morning on empty stomach with warm water Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp + Shatavari Churna – ½ tsp mixed in warm milk at bedtime Chyawanprash – 1 tsp mid-morning

Shodhana Karma / External Procedures:

Abhyanga (body massage) with Dhanwantaram Taila or Bala-Ashwagandhadi Taila – 3 times/week Followed by mild Bashpa Swedana (steam) at home If done under supervision: Mridu Virechana with Trivrit lehya once in 2 months helps with PCOD and absorption both Matra Basti with Kshirabala taila (optional) if constipation or back pain is present

Pathya (Foods to Gain Weight & Improve Absorption):

Cow ghee – 1 tsp with every meal Soaked almonds (5), black raisins (10), dates (2) every morning Milk with Shatavari kalpa or Ashwagandha at bedtime Warm, oily foods: khichdi with ghee, rice with dal + ghee, urad dal Moong dal, root vegetables, jeera, ajwain, turmeric in cooking Homemade laddus with gondh, jaggery, ghee Buttermilk with roasted jeera + rock salt (if bloating is mild)

Apathya (Avoid These Completely):

Cold food or drinks Curd, sour pickles, tomatoes, tamarind Junk, fried snacks, maida, bakery Tea, coffee in excess Skipping meals, late-night dinners Day sleep (if digestion is weak) Excess exercise or staying hungry for long

If needed, check these labs to rule out deeper causes:

CBC TSH Serum Ferritin Vitamin D3, B12 FBS/PPBS USG Pelvis (if not done recently for PCOD)

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

HELLO NITHYA,

Gaining 2-3 kg in a month is a realistic and healthy goal- especially if you’re underweight.

you’re a 24- year- old woman, 160 cm tall, and weigh 43 kg

You’re feeling -Underweight= you want to gain 2-3 kg/month - frequent heat sensation- you feel hot or irritable often - bloating/ gas/ heaviness- especially after eating - diagnosed with PCOD(polycystic ovarian disease)

WHY YOU ARE UNDERWEIGHT? Ayurveda says- you have low agni(digestive fire) that means - your stomach and intestines don’t digest food completely - even if you eat enough, your body doesn’t absorb nutrients well - so your tissues(muscles, blood, hormones) aren’t well nourished

This is often due to combination of VATA IMBALANCE= causes poor absorption and dryness PITTA EXCESS= causes heat, acidity, and weakens digestion RESULT= weight loss or no weight gain, fatigue, and low energy

WHY DO YOU FEEL HOT OR IRRITATED OFTEN? this is due to excess pitta dosha- the fire element in your body

Pitta becomes high due to -stress, overthinking, late nights - spicy food, too much heat exposure - hormonal imbalance like PCOD - skipping meals or irregular eating

WHEN PITTA IS HIGH, YOU FEEL -heat in the body - irritability, impatience - hormonal irregularities like acne, hairfall, irregular cycles

WHY ARE YOU EXPERIENCING BLOATING OR GAS this is a sign of vata dosha going out of balance- especially in your digestive system.

It causes -gas, flatulence, belching - abdominal tightness or rumbling - incomplete digestion-> feeling heavy after meals

THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE -you might be eating fast, irregular meals - you eat cold/raw foods or difficult-to - digest meals - you have weak digestion from long-term

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN PCOD In Ayurveda, pcod is mostly caused by a mixture of vata + kapha imbalance, affecting your Apana Vayu(downward- moving energy in the pelvis)

Here’s what happens -ovaries don’t release eggs properly-irregular ovulation -Hormones go out of balance-androgens, insulin, etc - small cysts form in the ovaries - periods become delayed, irregular , heavy or painful -you may Gain weight OR stay underweight depending on your constitution

Ayurveda sees this as -blockage of channels in the reproductive system -hormonal imbalance due to ama(toxins) and poor circulation - stress, wrong food habits, and lack of exercise make it worse

WHAT YOU NEED -better digestion and absorption -cool down excess heat - build body tissues and gain weight - fix hormonal imbalance(PCOD) - reduce bloating

For someone with a Pitta dominance, like you’re mentioning, the focus shouldbe on balancing this dosha while supporting digestion and absorption. To gain 2 to 3 kilograms in a month is ambitious but not impossible if done thoughtfully and safely. First, it’s important to address your Pitta imbalance, which often leads to feelings of heat and digestive issues. Start by incorporating cooling, nourishing foods and practices into your daily routine.

Consume sweet, bitter, and astringent foods, which are known to pacify Pitta. Include nourishing grains like basmati rice and oats, and don’t shy from dairy products like milk and ghee, as they are calming for Pitta. Try to include cooling vegetables like cucumber, zucchini, and leafy greens. Avoid overly spicy, oily, and salty foods which can aggravate Pitta.

Drink cooling herbal teas made from mint or fennel to aid digestion and mitigate that heat sensation. Shatavari and Ashwagandha are excellent Ayurvedic herbs that can support weight gain and improve tissue building. These can be taken as churnas (powder) mixed in warm milk twice daily, preferably morning and evening.

For bloating and improving absorption, chew a small piece of ginger with rock salt before meals, as this can stimulate Agni, your digestive fire, balancing digestion. Also, consider consuming Triphala at bedtime; this helps in maintaining digestive balance and bowel regularity.

Try to keep a regular meal schedule. Eating three primary meals at specific times, and two snacks can support your body’s need for consistent energy and nourishment. Incorporate mindfulness while eating, ensuring you chew well and savor your meals, enhancing the absorption.

Regular practice of calming Pranayama, such as Chandra Bhedana (left nostril breathing), can also help in balancing Pitta and promoting overall well-being.

Lifestyle modifications like avoiding sunlight and heat exposure during peak afternoon hours, ensuring adequate hydration, and prioritizing rest and relaxation, are key. Avoid stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine as they heighten Pitta imbalances.

Remember, since you have specific constitutional needs, it’s wise to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner in person, if possible, to tailor these suggestions even more to your individual circumstances.

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.

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. 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. Manjula
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.

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

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Neha Saini
I am Vaidya Neha Saini and Ayurveda’s not just my work—it’s kind of like my language of healing, a thing I live by, day in and out. I did my BAMS from Shree Krishna Govt Ayurvedic College in Kurukshetra and later finished MD in Ayurveda from Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune (that place had a different kind of energy honestly). With more than five yrs of clinical experience under my belt, I’ve kinda shaped my path around treating chronic issues, long-drawn imbalances and lifestyle disorders that modern life throws at people without warning. My way of working isn’t about chasing symptoms. I try to understand what’s really going on underneath—it’s like the root cause matters more than just quieting the noise. I use classical Ayurvedic principles but I also keep an eye on modern clinical understanding, ‘cause you can’t ignore how medicine’s growing every day, right? Most of my cases come in with problems like skin conditions—psoriasis, eczema, sometimes hormonal stuff like PCOS or thyroid weirdness, joint stiffness, back pains, post-stroke situations, or nervous system setbacks that need slow but steady support. And for all that, I plan treatment around them, not some fixed protocol. Which means a mix of herbs, Panchakarma detox when needed, food tweaks, even small shifts in daily routine… all matching their prakriti and vikriti. I also do online consults 'cause a lot of folks don't always get to travel or access real Ayurveda nearby. I just feel like everyone should have a shot at natural healing, even if it's through a screen. One thing I try hard to never skip: listening. Really listening to people. Sometimes they don’t even know how to say what's wrong, but they feel it—and that matters. For me, trust is the main pillar, and treatment flows from there. Ayurveda for me isn’t a toolkit or a clinic-only thing. It’s like—how you eat, sleep, breathe, connect with seasons or stress. It’s everywhere. And everytime someone walks in confused, tired or just stuck with some health loop, my aim is to sit beside them—not ahead—and figure the way out together. Not fast fixes, but deep, steady change. That's what I show up for every single time.

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. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

Dr. Suchin M
I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.
