HeyI wanted ask about my latest discovered "hypothyroidism" problem,I felt symptoms of "poly dipsia" and "poly ghaphia" and my sugar level were monitored in the mid of January2025 but I started feeling those symptoms since January1st25. I was worried if I was getting "prediabetic or diabetic" in only 32 years of age, and also I don't have kids yet this year will be the 3rd anniversary of my wedding. so I'm really worried about my future health becausei want to have kids and don't want such illnesses that doesn't go away and can impact my fertility and menstrual cycles, I checked from the hospital after my appointment which I got in June 2025, because it's not easy to get medical appointments in Malaysia just like Europe and Canada , still Dr told me about the diagnosis of hypothyroidism , before in January2025 the results were of high inflammation,highCRP,high ca 199 ,low thyroid from the normal range which was 5.00 mine was 4.96 and also a little anemic the Dr told, but in June the other Dr told me about hypothyroidismand anemic but didn't let me know about my details of my latest blood report, and also dr prescribed me levothyroxine 25mcg tablet to have ok empty stomachon daily basis and have breakfast after 1 hour gap from the thyroid medicine.., I'm taking that since 3rd July and also missed twice till the date and also I'm not strictly following the rules like taking medicine on same time every day because sometime I can't sleep early and every day and night is different when I Wake up. So I'm also concerned about this as well.. in January and also in June report Dr mentioned my hba1c is normal and I don't have diabetes or prediabetes.. I still feel like lack of energy, and always feeling anxious and dehydrated at the same time, and also feel like the food is not enough whichever item I eat.

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

HELLO NUDRAT HANIF,

Thank you for sharing your story in such detail. Based on what you described, you’re dealing with early or subclinical hypothyroidism, anemia, chronic inflammation , and symptoms like polydipsia (excessive thirst), and polyphagia(excessive hunger)- yet your blood sugar remains normal. You’ve rightly concerned about your energy, fertility, and overall well being.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CURRENT STATE

1) THYROIF FUNCTION (TSH 4.96) -normal TSH range in many labs is 0.4-4.0 mlU/L, but some local labs in Malaysia may accept up to 5.0 -your TSH is 4.96 with symptoms strongly suggests subclinical hypothyroidism, or even mild hypothyroidism. -Symptoms you’re having (fatigue, anxiety, dryness, irregular hunger) support the diagnosis. -Levothyroxine 25 mcg is the right starting dose, but timing and consistency matter a lot.

2) POLYDIPSIA AND POLYPHAGIA -These are classic diabetes symptoms, but since HbA1c is normal, it may be due to thyroid imbalance, anemia, or stress(possibly adrenal fatigue) -Also possibly due to electrolyte imbalance or inflammation

3) ANEMIA AND INFLAMMATION -chronic inflammation and anemia may also worsen your fatigue, cravings, and body aches -High CRP and CA 19-9 (though not typically used for this age group) indicate the need for proper inflammation management.

AYURVEDIC MEDICATIONS

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs 250 mg twice daily after meals for 3-6 months =balances kapha and meda, reduces swelling in thyroid gland , supports lymphatic drainage and detoxification

2) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tab 500 mg twice daily in morning and night with warm milk for 3-6 months =acts as adaptogen-supports thyroid and adrenal health, reduces anxiety, fatigue, and improves reproductive hormones.

3) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 3-6 months =mild detox, improves digestion and helps with constipation and sluggish metabolism, reduces ama(toxins) that blocks thyroid function

4) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3-4 months =improves hemoglobin, reduces inflammation and swelling, supports kidney and liver detox, useful for chronic fatigue and anemia

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3months =rejuvinates the whole endocrine system, balances urinary function, excess thirst, and supports hormonal balance.

DIETRY GUIDELINES -Favour warm, cooked and spiced foods- easy to digest and nourishing

AVOID -raw cruciferous veggies- broccoli, cabbage -cold, iced drinks -overconsumption of soy

INCLUDE -sesame seeds, dates, ghee, goat milk, and almonds(soaked) -Iron rich foods= spinach(cooked), lentils, black sesame, raisins(soaked) -Iodine sources= seaweed in moderation -Anti-inflammatory spices= turmeric, ginger, black pepper

DAILY HOME REMEDY

MORNING DETOX DRINK(empty stomach) -warm water + 1 tsp turmeric + pinch of black pepper + few drops of lemon

MID MORNING -soaked almonds+ 1 date

NIGHT -triphala + warm water

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA

WAKE UP ROUTINE(try to fix a time) -start with oil pulling= sesame or coconut oil= 5 min hold Swiss in mouth then spit and rinse -NASYA= instill 2 drops of shadbindu taila in each nostril daily morning empty stomach for 21 days -Sun light exposure=20-30 minutes daily morning

YOGA AND EXERCISE(20-30 min daily) -Surya namaskar= 5-8 rounds -Shoulder stands-sarvangasana= improves thyroid function -Pranayam= especially Anulom vilom and bhramari

SLEEP HYGIENE -fix sleep time by 10 - 11 pm -avoid screens at least 30 mins before bed -take warm milk with nutmeg or ashwagandha

MEDICAL = PRACTICAL

LEVOTHYROXINE MUST BE TAKEN CORRECTLY -first thing in the morning, on empty stomach -wait 45-60 mins before eating or drinking anything. -try to fix a consistent time(even if your sleep changes, try to wake up at the same time for this) -Missing doses occasionally is okay, but don’t make it a habit. -If symptoms persist in 2-3 months, ask for TSH , dress T3, anti-TPO antibodies, Ferritin, and vitamin D -For fertility, once your thyroid and anemia are under control chances of pregnancy can improve significantly.

RED FLAGS TO MONITOR -unexplained weight Gain or loss - irregular periods or heavy periods -feeling dizzy or faint - extreme dryness or hairloss -mood swings or depression

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

hello nudrat hanif, I truly understand what you’re going through you’re 32, newly diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and you’re scared. You’ve had symptoms since January: extreme thirst (polydipsia), hunger (polyphagia), anxiety, pain, and fatigue, and finally got a diagnosis after a long wait. You’re also concerned about fertility, delayed conception, and not knowing what your body is trying to tell you.

Let me assure you you are not too late, and nothing is out of control. What you’re feeling is not just “in your head,” it’s your body saying: “I’m tired, I’m overloaded, please care for me gently.” Your thyroid numbers were just touching the high-normal range (TSH 4.96), and being prescribed only 25 mcg Levothyroxine shows that this is an early-stage dysfunction not permanent, and very much reversible. Your body is still trying to fight for you, and Ayurveda listens deeply to that effort.All these symptoms heavy hunger, thirst, dryness, weakness, fatigue, anxiety, pain in feet and arms, early satiety, irregular sleeping are classic signs of Agni dysfunction (low metabolism), Apana Vata imbalance (lower body), and Kapha build-up (heaviness, puffiness).

Your body has become dry, undernourished at the tissue level (dhatu kshaya), and over-stimulated at the nervous level. And most importantly your ojas (vital energy) is low. But this isn’t the end, it’s just a pause a space to reset.

Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (6–8 weeks)

Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals Punarnavadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before meals Sootashekhara Ras – 1 tablet before meals Ashwagandhadi Lehyam – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime Shatavari Churna + Guduchi Churna – ½ tsp each at night with lukewarm water

External treatment: Abhyanga (Oil massage) – with Dhanwantharam Taila from head to toe Nasya – 2 drops of Anu Taila in each nostril in the morning Pranayama – 10 minutes Bhramari + Nadi Shodhana daily (morning + evening)

Pathya :

Morning: 1 tsp cow ghee + warm water Soaked almonds (5), dates (2), raisins (7) in the morning Eat warm, fresh home-cooked food (3 meals/day, on time) Add beetroot, carrots, methi, moong dal, sweet potato Use turmeric, ajwain, dry ginger, cinnamon in food Drink jeera + saunf + methi water throughout the day Sunlight exposure 15 mins daily Sleep by 10:30 pm (no screens after 9:30 pm) Light walking or yoga 15–20 mins daily

Apathya :

Cold drinks, curd, refrigerated food Bakery items, white sugar, noodles, cheese Skipping meals, tea/coffee on empty stomach Stress, late nights, oversleeping in daytime Raw salads, smoothies, fast food

Investigations :

TSH, T3, T4 Anti-TPO antibodies CBC + ESR Vitamin D3 Vitamin B12 Ferritin HbA1c or FBS/PPBS FSH, LH, Prolactin (if planning for baby) Pelvic Ultrasound

You’re still young, and your condition is completely manageable. Don’t panic if your routine isn’t perfect just start showing up for your body gently and consistently.

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

Based on what you’ve shared, managing hypothyroidism naturally can be supported through Ayurvedic principles. First, let’s consider your dosha and how it might be impacting your condition. Hypothyroidism is often associated with an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which can lead to sluggish metabolism and increased tiredness.

Diet plays a crucial role. Incorporate foods that are light and warming to help gently increase your digestive fire or agni. Favor cooked vegetables, whole grains, legumes, spices like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper. Avoid heavy, oily, and fried foods, as well as dairy products which can further agitate Kapha. Drink warm water throughout the day to stay hydrated without chilling your digestion.

In terms of herbal remedies, Ashwagandha and Guggulu are traditionally recognized in Ayurveda for supporting thyroid function. Begin with small amounts and observe how your body responds. It’s best to consult an Ayurveda practitioner to tailor dosages to your needs.

Establish a consistent daily routine. Try waking up and going to bed at the same time each day. This can naturally regulate your internal clock, reducing anxiety and energy fluctuations. Engage in gentle yoga and meditation practices which are known to balance stress and support thyroid health.

Since you mentioned feeling anxious and dehydrated, stress management is essential. Herbs like Brahmi or Gotu Kola can be beneficial for calming the mind and improving concentration.

Though your HbA1c is normal, given your concerns about energy and cravings, consider balancing your meals with complex carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats to sustain energy levels and avoid blood sugar dips.

Consistency with your medication, even though varied sleep patterns are challenging, is important for stabilizing thyroid levels. Maybe set an alarm or reminder to help with this.

Connect with an Ayurvedic doctor in your vicinity to delve deeper into personalized treatments, monitor your response to remedies, and adjust as needed. While these suggestions can offer relief, ensure you’re in touch with your healthcare provider to maintain a holistic and integrated approach.

Considering your recent experience with hypothyroidism and your desire to manage your symptoms more naturally within the framework of Siddha-Ayurveda, let’s look at some tailored steps you can take. First, it’s vital to stick with the prescribed levothyroxine, taking it consistently each morning on an empty stomach. Consistency is crucial for stabilizing your thyroid hormone levels.

For your dietary practices, it’s important to support your digestive fire or “agni.” Begin your day with warm water instead of cold, and incorporate spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric in your meals to boost metabolism. Since hypothyroidism is often associated with a kapha imbalance, avoiding heavy, oily, and overly sweet or sour foods is recommended. Focus instead on lighter, warm, and freshly cooked meals with plenty of vegetables.

Regularity in your daily routine helps balance your body’s internal clock, which is disrupted due to irregular sleep patterns. Aim for a consistent bedtime and wake-up time, and try yoga or meditation before sleep to induce relaxation and improve sleep quality. Anxious feelings might be linked to vata disturbance; practicing pranayama (breathing exercises) can help stabilize this dosha.

Iron-rich foods like spinach, tofu, and lentils can support anemia. Since polyuria and polydipsia are concerns, even if your HbA1c is normal, maintaining hydration with room temperature water and electrolyte-rich fluids without added sugars is essential. Please remember these recommendations complement but do not replace your prescribed treatments. If symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a healthcare provider is crucial to ensure no underlying conditions are overlooked.

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. 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
ChatGPT said: 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. 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. 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.

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

Dr. 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. Kirankumari Rathod
I am someone who kinda grew into Panchakarma without planning it much at first... just knew I wanted to understand the deeper layers of Ayurveda, not just the surface stuff. I did both my graduation and post-grad from Govt. Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital in Bangalore — honestly that place shaped a lot of how I think about healing, especially long-term healing. After my PG, I started working right away as an Assistant Professor & consultant in the Panchakarma dept at a private Ayurveda college. Teaching kinda made me realise how much we ourselves learn by explaining things to others... and watching patients go through their detox journeys—real raw healing—was where I got hooked. Now, with around 6 years of clinical exp in Panchakarma practice, I'm working as an Associate Professor, still in the same dept., still learning, still teaching. I focus a lot on individualised protocols—Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all and honestly, that’s what makes it tricky but also beautiful. Right now I’m also doing my PhD, it’s on female infertility—a topic I feel not just academically drawn to but personally invested in, cause I see how complex and layered it gets for many women. Managing that along with academics and patient care isn’t super easy, I won’t lie, but it kinda fuels each other. The classroom work helps my clinical thinking, and my clinical work makes me question things in research more sharply. There's a lot I still wanna explore—especially in how we explain Panchakarma better to newer patients. Many people still think it's just oil massage or some spa thing but the depth is wayyy beyond that. I guess I keep hoping to make that clarity come through—whether it’s in class or during a consult or even during a quick OPD chat.

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. 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.
