For anxiety, overthinking, and fear, Ayurveda emphasizes balancing the mind through techniques that calm the Vata dosha and nourish the nervous system. Panchakarma, particularly Shirodhara or Abhyanga, could be very effective for these concerns.

Shirodhara involves gently pouring warm oil over the forehead, particularly over the ‘Ajna Chakra’ or third eye area, which helps in calming the mind and harmonizing the nervous system. This therapy is best done for a duration of about 30 to 45 minutes daily or every other day for a span of 7 to 14 days. It promotes deep relaxation and has a positive impact on mental clarity and emotional stability.

Abhyanga is a full body oil massage using warm, herbalized oils. This can be done daily, in the morning before bath or shower. Using oils like sesame or almond infused with calming herbs such as ashwagandha or jatamansi can support the nervous system and reduce anxiety levels. It should be performed for 15-30 minutes with gentle but firm strokes, completing with a warm bath.

Since you are already on Brahmi ghritam and Manasamitra vatakam, it’s crucial to continue these under guidance, as they nourish the mind and help in mental disorders. Ensure that your schedule includes a regular sleep pattern, ideally sleeping by 10 PM and waking up with the rising sun.

Diet plays an essential role, preferably have warm, cooked foods with moderate spices to aid digestion and balance Vata. Avoid stimulants like caffeine, excessive raw foods, and cold beverages. Practice deep, nasal breathing exercises or Pranayama for at least 10 minutes twice a day. Nadi Shodhana, or alternate nostril breathing, might be specially beneficial. Meditation, even just 5-10 minutes daily can also pacify a restless mind.

Remember to avoid delay in seeking regular check-ins with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor the treatments as your progress. If symptoms worsen, kindly consult for an urgent check-up.

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

HELLO BHIM SHANKAR,

Your symptoms - anxiety, , fear, and overthinking

Understanding your symptoms in Ayurvedic view

ANXIETY, FEAR, PANIC= vata dosha imbalance in the mind and nervous system

OVERTHINKING, RESTLESSNESS= aggravated prana vata, a subdosha of vata

LONG STANDING FEAR SINCE= suggests a manasika dosha(mental constitution) that is rajasika, sensitive, and unstable under stress

Vata is dry,light,cold,mobile and irregular. When increased due to stress, irregular lifestyle, lack of sleep, improper diet , vata moves uncontrollably in the nervous system, creating -chanchalatva(restlessness) -bhrama(confusion) -udvega(anxiety) -bhaya(fear) Hence ayurvedic treatment aims to ground,warm,nourish and stabilize vata

INTERNAL MEDICINE

1) SUMENTA TABLET (charak pharma)- 2 tabs twice daily after food =Anti anxiety, anti depressant, reduces restlessness

2) UNMADVATI(baidyanath brand)- 1 tab at night with milk = Chronic anxiety, insomnia, irritability and psychogenic restlessness

3) SMRITI SAGAR RAS- 1 tab in morning = Memory loss, anxiety, brain fog

4) JATAMANSI CHURNA- 1 gm at night with milk or honey

5) KALYANAK GHRITA- 1 tspp in warm milk on empty stomach = Improves nerve conduction, cognitive stability, relieves mental fatigue

DIET FOR ANXIETY,FEAR, OVERTHINKING

GRAINS= rice, oats, quinoa , moong dal khichdi - easy to digest and grounding

FATS= Cow ghee, sesame oil and soaked nuts- nourishes brain and nerves

FRUITS= bananas , apples, berries, stewed apples - sweet taste calm vata

VEGETABLES= carrot , pumpkin, beet, sweet potato- warm and cooked balances vata

HERBS AND SPICES= cumin , coriander, fennel , turmeric, ginger- aids digestion reduces dryness

PROTEINS= Mung beans, lentils, panner- nourishment and muscle tone

DAIRY = warms cow milk with nutmeg and ghee- enhance mental vitality

AVOID -cold food and drink -carbonated drinks caffeine energy drinks -dry foods like popcorn and crackers -sour curd at night -processed or junk food -skipping meals or fasting

HOME REMEDIES FOR PROPER SLEEP

1) NUTMEG + warm milk at night -1 pinch of nutmeg in 1 glass warm cow milk -calms racing thoughts and promotes deep sleep

2) TULSI - BRAHMI HERBAL TEA -boil 1 cup of water 3 tulsi leaves 1/2 tsp Brahmi powder A pinch of fennel Let it simmer drink warm twicely

3) EPSOM SALT BATH or WARM FOOT SOAK -soak feet in warm water + Epsom salt + some drops of lavender oil

4) NASYA- sesame oil -Instill 2 drops of sesame oil in each nostril daily morning empty stomach = releives vata mental fog panic and overthinking

ADVISED PANCHAKARMA WHICH IS BEST FOR YOU IS

-SHIRODHARA= WITH brahmi and ksheerbala taila every alternate days

-SHIROTALAM= best and very effective

-WHOLE BODY MASSAGE AND STEAM ALL OVER BODY

- PADABHYANGA(foot massage)= daily with ghee at night

- TALAPOTHICHIL

YOGA ASANA DAILY

-balasana -viparita karani -paschimmottanasana -⁠supta baddha konasana -marjariasana -shavasana

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana -bhramari -ujjayi

HELLO BHIM SHANKAR, 'You’re 35, diabetic, and suffering from anxiety, overthinking, and fear for the past 6 months. You’ve already started taking Brahmi Ghritam and Manasamitra Vatakam, which is a good step but since the condition is chronic and disturbing your daily peace, now your body and nervous system need a deeper reset.

What you’re going through is due to disturbed Prana Vata the Vata that governs your mind, breath, and thoughts. When Prana Vata becomes imbalanced, it causes looping thoughts, chest heaviness, fear without reason, and mental restlessness. Diabetes increases Vata dryness in the nervous system, making this worse.We will now work on calming the brain and nerves directly through Panchakarma therapy + Rasayana support without disturbing your blood sugar.

Best Panchakarma Therapies (You can do them as a 7–14 day course):

Shirodhara – Medicated oil like Brahmi Taila or Ksheerabala Taila poured in a gentle stream on your forehead (Improves sleep, settles thoughts, reduces fear and mental restlessness) Nasya Karma – Nasal drops of Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila (2 drops in each nostril daily after steam) (Cleanses brain channels and resets Prana Vata) Abhyanga + Bashpa Swedana – Whole body massage with Ashwagandha Bala Taila followed by mild herbal steam (Grounds the nervous system and improves circulation) Matra Basti (safe in diabetes) – 60 ml of Kshirabala Taila or Ashwagandha Taila given rectally for 5–7 days (Directly pacifies Vata in the colon — the seat of fear and anxiety)

Internal Medicines (continue for 6 weeks):

Brahmi Ghritam – 1 tsp in the morning with warm water or warm milk Manasamitra Vatakam – 1 tablet at bedtime Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with warm milk or water at night Jatamansi Churna – ¼ tsp in the evening with warm water if overthinking is worse at night

Pathya (What to Eat & Do):

Warm, soft food with 1 tsp ghee in every meal Soaked almonds (5) + raisins (7) + 2 dates every morning Use cinnamon, jeera, ajwain, and turmeric in food Daily walk in sunlight + 15 mins of Bhramari pranayama in the morning Drink warm water only, avoid cold foods Maintain fixed daily routine and avoid multitasking

Apathya (Strictly Avoid):

Tea/coffee on empty stomach Sugar, bakery food, processed snacks Cold drinks, curd, fridge water Day sleep and late-night sleep Mobile use after 9 PM Suppressing emotions or staying silent when stressed

Investigations (if not done in 3–6 months):

HbA1c TSH Vitamin B12 Vitamin D3 CBC Serum Cortisol (if anxiety is intense)

This condition is reversible with consistent Panchakarma, Rasayana, and mind-digestive reset. You’ll feel emotionally steady and confident again.

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

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. 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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. 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.

I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
