Doctors’ responses

hello Arun Kumar srivastava,

You’re 63, and you’re managing diabetes, heart issues, and previously treated enlarged prostate (BPH). You were on Silodosin 8 mg, later reduced to 0.5 mg, and now stopped with much improvement in urinary flow. You’re doing Pranayama (Bhramari, Nadi Shodhana) daily before bed, and that’s helping a lot. Urine is flowing freely, no current kidney blockage, and creatinine is 1.41, which is slightly raised but stable.

However, when your random blood sugar (RBS) crosses 180, you’re noticing increased frequency of urination which is a typical response in diabetic patients due to osmotic diuresis. You’re also under cardiology and endocrinology care, and using a combination of Allopathy and Ayurvedic medicines like Gudmar, Jamun beej, Dadimashtak churna, and Haritaki.Your condition now is quite stable, but you’re at a stage where routine evaluation is essential to prevent silent complications.

Internal Medicines (Continue & Additions): Gudmar churna + Jamun beej churna – 1 tsp mix twice daily (already continuing – good) Dadimashtak churna – 4 pinches + Haritaki churna ½ tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after food (for prostate, urinary tract, and blood sugar) Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water twice daily before meals (for prostate and kidney health) Gokshura churna – ½ tsp with warm water at night (for bladder strength and smooth urine flow) Shodhana Karma / External Support:

No detox is advised at this age unless under clinical supervision Continue daily Pranayama – Bhramari and Nadi Shodhana for 15 minutes before sleep Gentle foot massage with Ksheerabala taila 101 before bed – helps Vata, improves kidney circulation

Pathya :

Eat early dinner (before 8 PM) Add cow ghee (1 tsp/day) in lunch for kidney lubrication

Include: barley, lauki, methi, palak, moong dal in food Drink warm water boiled with coriander seeds Sit quietly for 10 minutes after meals – don’t rush or lie down immediately Maintain 30-minute walk daily in morning or evening Maintain 7–8 hours of sleep

Apathya (What to Strictly Avoid): Tea or coffee more than twice/day Cold water or fridge food Curd at night Raw sprouts, heavy pulses like chana, rajma Excess salt or very spicy food Long gaps between meals Daytime sleeping for more than 30 mins

Recommended Investigations (To Be Done): Ultrasound KUB – to check current prostate size, bladder emptying, any residual urine Uroflowmetry – to evaluate urine pressure and stream Urine Routine + Microscopy – to rule out infection Urine Culture – only if pus cells found in routine report HbA1c – 3-month blood sugar control FBS/PPBS – fasting and post meal sugar Serum PSA – if prostate not recently evaluated Repeat KFT (Urea, Creatinine, Electrolytes) – every 6 months LFT – to check liver load (important in long-term medication use)

Your health is on the right track, but your body needs gentle support and regular monitoring. With continued Ayurvedic and Allopathic coordination, and lifestyle discipline, you can stay stable and avoid complications.

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

Managing frequent urination due to prostate gland enlargement involves a complex interplay of medications, lifestyle practices, and periodic monitoring. Given that you’re already under supervision of several specialists, it’s great that you’re seeing some improvement.

Since you’re feeling better but still experiencing frequent urination when your blood sugar levels rise, it’s important to continue managing your blood glucose rigorously. Gudmaar churna and jamun beej, well-known in Ayurveda for their impact on blood sugar, seem to be helping alongside your prescribed allopathic medications like Metformin and Glimepiride. Continue taking these diligently, ensuring close monitoring of your blood sugar levels.

Ayurvedic practices like pranayama are beneficial for holistic health and stress management. Nari shodhana and bhramari could be enhancing your overall well-being and may indirectly support prostate and bladder health. Continue these, focusing on deep, regular breaths.

Regarding testing, while your creatinine levels at 1.41 may not be alarming, further kidney function tests could be helpful. An ultrasound of the kidneys, bladder, and prostate (KUB) and a uroflowmetry can provide a more comprehensive view of your urinary system and prostate health. If you’ve experienced any changes in symptoms (e.g., more frequent urination or discomfort), urine routine and culture can help rule out infections. Discuss these options with your urologist or doctors at Safdarjung Hospital.

Integration of Ayurvedic and Allopathic treatments is quite beneficial, but ensure they are well-coordinated. Keep all your healthcare providers informed about all the treatments and supplements you’re using to avoid potential interactions and synergize their benefits effectively.

It sounds like you’ve been dealing with a complex health situation involving both allopathic and Ayurvedic treatments for prostate gland enlargement and diabetes management. Balancing these can indeed be challenging but it’s crucial, as it affects aspects like urination frequency and kidney function.

Given your symptoms and treatment history, frequent urination might still indicate some underlying issues needing attention. An ultrasound KUB (Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder) and uroflowmetry could provide valuable insights to ensure there’s no obstruction or structural issues causing these symptoms. Urinalysis R/M and urine culture can further reveal if there’s any infection or other abnormalities contributing to frequent urination.

Your regimen of practicing pranayama is beneficial and aligns well with Ayurvedic principles, as it helps balance the doshas, improve agni, and calm the mind. Continuing yoga and pranayama exercises is advisable as long as it suits your comfort and doesn’t interfere with any physical limitations.

Regarding your intake of Gudmaar Churna and Jamun Beej Churna for blood sugar control, they can be supportive but monitoring blood sugar levels closely is crucial since you’re also on allopathic medications like Metformin and other prescribed by your healthcare providers. Consulting your endocrinologist to update them on any herbals supplements you are taking is recommendation as integration requires transparency to avoid potential interactions.

Always coordinate closely with your Urologist and Endocrinologist regarding the continuation or adjustment of medications based on your current test results and symptoms. Seeking immediate medical attention is necessary, particularly if there’s a sudden increase in urinary symptom severity, suspect infections, or significant rise in blood sugar levels. Your healthcare providers can offer the best guidance tailored to your specific needs especially in a hospital setting with access to your comprehensive medical record.

Hello Arun Kumar Srivastava ji, Thank you for providing a very detailed health history. It is very good to know that you have already following a balanced combination of both Allopathy and Ayurveda, and that your urinary flow and health have improved with your medications and pranayama practice. But dont worry we are here to improve uour health further

If RBS is going above 180, frequent urination is likely to happen

✅AYURVEDIC MEDICATION- Note: Please continue your allopathic medications as prescribed.because stopping them abrutly will take a troll on your health

☑️INTERNAL MEDICATION-

1 Varunadi Kashayam 15 ML-0-15ML +45 ML water after food 2 Gokshuradi Guggulu 2 -0-2 twice daily after food – supports urinary function and prostate health 3 Punarnava Mandoor 1-0-1– supports kidney function 4 Chandraprabha Vati 2-0-2twice daily – balances sugar and urinary tract

✅EVERY 3-6 MONTHS DO REGULAR CHECK UP -

☑️USG KUB to Monitor prostate, kidney status ☑️Serum Creatinine + eGFR for Kidney function ☑️Urine R/M Helps to detect infection or abnormalities ☑️HbA1c helps to know 3 months average sugar ☑️ECG due to cardiac history

✅ Lifestyle & Diet modification

✅ include -Bhramari + Nadi Shodhana Pranayama – continue daily - Drink warm water only try to drink punarnava or gokshura infused water -No fluid 1 hr before sleep -Early dinner (before 7:30 PM)

✅ Diet modification Eat small, frequent meals Avoid banana, potato, rice, sugar, cold milk Add barley, green moong, bottle gourd, Amla

Increased frequency in urine is due to diabetes so don’t worry continue the above medication along with that strict diabetic control and regular walking is a must at least 45 minutes daily Meanwhile start taking 1/4 th tsp methi seeds to be soaked overnight and at morning on empty stomach, chew and then drink methi water Follow this for 10 days. You still no relief, then you can go for the above test now culture is not required after seeing the urine test. We can decide whether culture is required or not.

Since you’re managing diabetes + prostate + kidneys, these tests are important every 6–12 months, especially only if not done. 🔹 1. Ultrasound KUB recommended if not done recently.

Checks for: Prostate size, bladder retention, kidney health, stones.

Safe and non-invasive.

🔹 2. Uroflowmetry (optional if no symptoms)

✅ Only if: You notice slow urine flow, hesitancy, or dribbling again.

If your flow is normal and smooth now, this can wait.

3. Urine Routine & Microscopy (Urine R/M) is to be done,since you’re diabetic. 4. Urine Culture,Recommended only if you have burning, fever, or foul smell in urine orFrequent urinary tract infections. 5. Blood Tests

HbA1c (every 3 months): Check your diabetes control

KFT (Creatinine, Urea, eGFR): Every 3–6 months

Lipid Profile: Since you’re under cardiac care

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen): If enlarged prostate was significant before

CBC (for anemia or infections).

I provide both in-person and online consultations to make Ayurvedic care accessible and convenient for everyone. My goal in every interaction is to listen with empathy, guide with clarity, and offer treatments rooted in authenticity and clinical evidence.

Namaste Arun ji To monitor urinary and kidney health, I advise the following investigations as part of your routine check-up:

Ultrasound KUB with Post-Void Residual (PVR) Uroflowmetry Urine Routine and Microscopy HbA1c Urine Culture (only if there are symptoms like burning, urgency, or cloudy urine)

Ayurvedic Recommendations: You can replace Jamun Beej with the following herbs in combination you can have the powder with Luke warm water or in decoction form before meal: Vijayasar (Pterocarpus marsupium)

Daruharidra (Berberis aristata)

Amalaki (Emblica officinalis)

Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) You may continue Gudmar as long as it’s suiting your digestion and sugar profile.

You can Add: Chandraprabha Vati – 1 tablet twice daily (after food)

You’re already on a very positive track. The suggested lab tests will help ensure internal parameters remain well managed. Meanwhile, the above Ayurvedic additions will help further balance blood sugar, support the urinary tract, and strengthen overall vitality.

Please feel free to share your reports once done — I’ll be happy to guide you further based on them.

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 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.

I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. 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. 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.

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. 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. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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.
