How to heal endometriosis/ovarian cyst with big swollen - #26065

Laisa

Hello Doctor, I’m a 23-year-old female. A CT scan earlier this year showed a chocolate cyst on one ovary, and the gynecologist diagnosed it as endometriosis. But I have no period pain or overflow. In fact, my periods last only one day each month, with light flow. My main and most distressing problem is my swollen, bloated belly. It looks like I’m 5–6 months pregnant. I feel full all the time, and it prevents me from eating full meals or gaining weight. I honestly don’t even know what is causing this belly swelling. The CT scan only mentioned endometriosis, but the doctor didn’t clearly explain whether that is the actual reason behind this bloating. I have no confirmed answer, and I feel stuck. I have been eating clean for over a year—no processed food, no fast food, no sugar. I drink jeera-saunf-methi water in the morning, take beetroot, amla, haldi, basil seeds, and I do yoga every day. Still, there has been no improvement. My belly bloating is affecting my daily life, confidence, and mental peace. Also, since I got my first period at the age of 10, my skin has always been compromised—pimples, open pores, and breakouts have been constant. I feel this may be related to internal imbalance too. I’m now seeking proper Ayurvedic guidance—herbs, food, and hormonal support—to reduce this bloating, restore balance, and improve skin and periods. I would prefer to continue this consultation through chat only. Thank you so much. I truly hope you can help me heal naturally.

hello laisa, , from what you’ve shared, it’s very clear that your system is holding onto deep-seated Apana Vata imbalance and Ama (toxic buildup) in the pelvic and digestive region. The chocolate cyst (endometrioma) you saw on CT confirms endometriosis, which often silently causes pelvic congestion, stuck circulation, poor digestion, and bloating even if there’s no pain or excess bleeding. Your one-day scanty periods show that the uterus isn’t fully emptying due to blocked Vata flow. That’s why despite clean eating and yoga, the belly remains swollen, appetite is low, and weight doesn’t go up because digestion and absorption are choked at the root level. Your skin issues since puberty also reflect long-standing hormonal imbalance, likely worsened by early menarche (at age 10), and this has continued as internal heat and toxin buildup under the skin. You’re doing many good things already, but now your body needs targeted Ayurvedic medicines and deeper cleansing to open up the blocked channels, restore hormone flow, and melt down the stuck cystic tissue.

Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (8 weeks):

Sukumar Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water twice daily before food Kanchnar Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food Ashokarishta – 20 ml + 20 ml water after lunch and dinner Punarnavadi Mandoor – 1 tablet twice daily after food (for bloating + blood) Gandharvahastadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml water at bedtime (for gas + Vata clearing)

Shodhana / External Therapies (if possible near you):

Abhyanga (massage) over abdomen and back with Dhanwantaram taila – 3 times/week Bashpa Swedana (steam) after oil massage to reduce bloating Matra Basti (oil enema) with Narayana taila – 7 days course if under supervision

Pathya (What You Should Eat & Follow):

Begin day with warm water + 1 tsp cow ghee Eat soft, cooked meals: rice, moong dal, bottle gourd, beetroot, spinach Soak 7 raisins + 2 dates + 5 almonds overnight – eat in morning Use cumin, ajwain, hing, turmeric in all meals Gentle yoga + 15 mins Bhramari or Ujjayi pranayama daily Early sleep (before 10:30 pm)

Apathya (Strictly Avoid):

Cold water, fridge food, raw salads, smoothies Curd, paneer, cheese Skipping meals, late dinners Tea/coffee on empty stomach Stress, overexertion, sleeping late

Investigations Suggested (If not done recently):

Pelvic USG (for cyst + endometrial thickness- as u have done u can omit this if its done just 3 months or 2 months before) Hormone profile: LH, FSH, AMH, TSH, Prolactin Vitamin D3, B12, Ferritin CBC + ESR (for hidden inflammation)

This condition is fully manageable through consistent Ayurvedic care. With time, your bloating will reduce, cycles will improve, and skin will start reflecting internal balance. You’ve taken the right step now and nature will support you back.

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

Abdominal Ultrasound (21 Dec 2024): Multiloculated cystic lesion in left adnexa (56×28 mm), no solid components

CT Scan (2 Apr 2025): Cystic lesion approx. 3.5×4.9 cm in left adnexa with septae, left ovary not seen separately; uterus and right adnexa normal

Blood Tests:

CBC (10 Sept 2024):

Hemoglobin: 12.5 g/dL

RBC: 4.98 million/µL

PCV: 40.4%

MCV: 81.2 fL

MCH: 25.2 pg

MCHC: 31.0 g/dL

Total Leukocyte Count (TLC): 8,500 /µL

PCV: 36.0%

MCV: 66.6 fL

MCH: 23 pg

Thanks for sharing ur blood reports laisa, (Based on all reports)-

1.Endometriosis 2 ( multiloculated cyst, CT scan + thickened endometrium) 2.High Prolactin (64.92 ng/mL) – suppresses ovulation and disrupts hormonal flow 3.Anemia of chronic inflammation – Your CBC from Dec 2024 shows 4.microcytic hypochromic picture (low MCV 66.6, low MCHC 15.7), indicating poor iron absorption and chronic blood stagnation (Ayurvedically, Rakta dhatu dushti with Ama). 5.Elevated IgE (1080 IU/mL) – points to underlying immune hypersensitivity or chronic inflammation 6.Urine RBCs 15–20/HPF – slight pelvic congestion or possible uro-genital irritation (matches Apana Vata dushti) 7.ESR 30 – confirms mild inflammation 8.LDH 310 – suggests tissue stress or cystic breakdown (in line with endometrioma behavior) 9.Retroverted uterus + thick endometrium – shows improper flow of Apana Vata and uterine stagnation (very typical in endometriosis)

Laisa, considering how deep-rooted your symptoms are especially the persistent cyst, high prolactin, scanty periods, and long-standing bloating it’s very important that you reach out to a nearby Ayurveda hospital or authentic Panchakarma center and begin the Shodhana (cleansing) therapies I mentioned earlier. While internal medicines like Kashayams and Guggulu will definitely help clear Ama and regulate Apana Vata, they alone can only push your system to a certain limit. Since your condition involves long-standing congestion in the pelvic and digestive tract, full relief will come only when Shodhana therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage), Bashpa Swedana (steam), and Matra Basti (medicated oil enema) are done under supervision. These treatments go deeper into the tissues, clear the blocked Vata channels, and slowly melt the cystic mass while improving hormonal flow and digestion. Starting these therapies in the correct seasonal window will also enhance their effectiveness. Please don’t delay this step it is the most essential part of your healing journey.

You’re doing good with your warm fennel-methi water, but it’s too mild for the depth of imbalance now. Ayurveda teaches us that once Ama + Vata become chronic, proper Shamana + Shodhana (medicine + cleansing) is essential to unblock the flow.

so , Starting these therapies in the correct seasonal window will also enhance their effectiveness. Please don’t delay this step it is the most essential part of your healing journey. take care and be consistent in ur treatment Diets and lifestyle !

HELLO LAISA,

Thank you for sharing your story so openly- what you’re experiencing is very real and understandably distressing. While your symptoms may seem confusing (light periods despite endometriosis, persistent bloating, poor appetite, skin issues)

Based on what you’ve shared, here’s how your symptoms map to Ayurvedic imbalances

1) ENDOMETRIOSIS WITH CHOCOLATE CYST -associated with kapha(cyst formation), vata (abnormal movement of blood), and rakta dhatu dushti(vitiation of blood tissue) -The fact that you have no pain or heavy periods but cysts formation points more towards kapha-vata dominant endometriosis

2) BLOATING AND DISTENDED BELLY (as if 5-6 months pregnant) -classic sign of Apana Vata + samana vata imbalance- impaired digestion, accumulation of gas, and sluggish elimination -could also indicate Ama(toxic buildup), which bloats the abdomen and prevents nutrient absorption

3) VERY LIGHT PERIODS -indicative of Rakta kshaya(low blood quality) and or vata aggravation (causing suppression of menstrual flow)

4) PIMPLE AND SKIN ISSUES (Since early menstruation) -A sign of rakta (blood) and pitta imbalances with hormonal disturbances -hormonal imbalance is likely contributing to both skin issues and cystic formation

TREATMENT GOAL -shrink the chocolate cyst and reverse endometriosis -relieve chronic bloating and abdominal swelling - normalise periods -clear skin and reduce acne

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

* FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS AND CHOCOLATE CYST

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =helps dissolve cysts, clears kapha and lymphatic congestion

2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water, twice daily after meals =supports healthy menstruation and uterine tone

3) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily before meals =reduces ovarian cysts and bloating caused by kapha accumulation

* FOR BLOATING AND GAS

1) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals = improves digestion, relieves gas, and stimulate digestive fire

2) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =keeps bowels clean and removes ama(toxins)

* FOR SKIN AND HORMONAL BALANCE

1) MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily with warm water after meals =blood purifier, helps in skin issues and hormonal balance

2) SHATAVARI GRANULES= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk in morning and night = restores reproductive and hormonal health in females

DIET SHOULD BE FOLLOWED since you’re already eating healthy, this is more about balancing your doshas and improving digestion

INCLUDE -warm, cooked, easy to digest food- khichdi, soups, stewed vegetables - spices like= cumin, ginger, ajwain, fennel, coriander- all help vata and kapha - Ghee- 1 tsp daily improves digestion, Balances Vata and nourishes tissues -beetroot, amla, and turmeric- excellent, continue that - ash gourd juice or bottle gourd juice- on empty stomach for bloating -Coconut water- once or twice a week, cools down pitta

AVOID -cold drinks, raw salads, dry foods, bread, fermented foods - dairy(unless its organic and boiled milk), as it can worsen cysts and kapha - heavy legumes - rajma, chana -difficult to digest when vata is imbalanced -overeating or eating without hunger

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA

DAILY PRACTICE -pawanmuktasana -ardha matsyendrasana -supta baddha konasana -vajrasana after meals - suryanamaskar = 12 rounds

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana -Bhramari

ABHYANGA(self oil massage with warm sesame oil- 3-4 times/week =helps balance vata, reduces bloating, improves circulation

NIGHT ROUTINE -1 tsp ghee in warm milk at night to improve bowel movements and nourish reproductive system -sleep by 10 pm to balance hormones naturally

IF NOT DONE - GO FOR THIS INVESTIGATIONS

1) PELVIC IMAGING= to monitor endometriosis, cyst size and other structural issues -pelvic ultrasound -MRI pelvis

2) HORMONAL PROFILE=LH,FSH(day 2 or 3 of cycle) -ESTRADIOL -PROGESTERONE -AMH(anti-mullerian hormone)- to assess ovarian reserve -THYROID PROFILE -PROLACTIN AND TESTOSTERONE -DHEA-S= elevated in pcos and adrenal imbalance -Insulin fasting + glucose fasting

Although your CT scan mentioned endometriosis , your primary suffering is from bloating and gut imbalances, not painful periods. That means your digestive fire must be your primary focus now, alongside hormonal healing

In Ayurveda, the uterus is supported by digestion. When digestion improves, toxins reduce, periods normalize, and cysts shrinks

You are doing so many right things already- your discipline is commendable. What’s needed now is proper, dosha aligned regimen with consistent ayurvedic medicines and digestive correction. Ayurveda works gently but deeply, and with commitment, you can absolutely reverse this bloating and restore hormonal balance naturally

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

In Ayurveda, your symptoms tie back to dosha imbalances, likely involving Vata and Pitta. Both symptoms like bloating and skin issues often link with these imbalances. The endometriosis, or the “chocolate cysts” you mentioned, can also have roots in this imbalance, particularly when influenced by excessive Pitta. Often these cystic conditions need internal cooling and reduction of inflammation as a primary focus.

First, consider your agni (digestive fire) - it might be impaired. Even though you eat clean, the sensation of fullness without feeling satisfied indicates issues with absorption or digestion. Try panchamoola decoction to stimulate digestive fire mildly. Drink it before meals to help digest food properly, counter bloating by absorbing ama (toxins).

Your morning routine with jeera-saunf-methi water is good, yet add Hingvastak churna after meals to reduce gas and assist digestion. Avoid raw salads or cold foods, as they might aggravate Vata further. Consume foods that are easy on digestion – think moong dal khichdi. Introduce kanji, a fermented grain drink with cumin, fenugreek, and rock salt.

For skin, try neem leaves; make a paste to apply on affected areas. For internal usage, Guduchi tablets may help balance Pitta and support healthier skin. Pitta balancing herbs like Shatavari and Ashoka can support hormonal balance, aid menstruation. Use Aloe Vera juice each morning to pacify Pitta and cleanse.

Yoga’s a great choice, but consider poses focusing on the lower abdominal region such as Pavanamuktasana and Bhujangasana. Emphasize stress-reducing practices like Pranayama. Balance daily routine by adhering to a schedule; improper or erratic daily routines often disturb biological cycles, aggravating Vata.

Since you are experiencing this starting from age 10, continue monitoring your condition under a healthcare provider or get a second opinion if things do not improve. Swollen abdomen should not be ignored, always consult a health practitioner for potential complications.

These strategies are meant for moderation. Follow them as per the capacity of your body, and observe changes. Adjust your approach if discomfort or adverse changes arise. It’s also crucial to monitor mental peace since stress-induced exacerbations can affect your condition.

Bloated belly and endometriosis often stem from imbalances in your doshas, particularly vata and pitta. Your symptoms suggest vata might be obstructed by kapha. Your light periods could indicate low agni—digestive fire—leading to improper digestion and residual accumulation. Let’s start by addressing these imbalances.

To soothe vata and enhance agni, try adding a small piece of fresh ginger with a pinch of rock salt to your meals. This simple remedy can aid digestion and reduce bloating. Meanwhile, increase warm, cooked foods in your diet and minimize raw or refrigerated items, which can aggravate vata.

Herbs like Ashoka and Lodhra can be helpful in managing endometriosis and balancing hormones. These should be taken under guidance from a qualified practitioner. For the persistent skin issues, Turmeric (Haridra) along with Neem, taken before meals may help clear impurities from blood, often connected to pitta imbalance.

Additionally, practice regular oil massage (Abhyanga) with warm sesame oil to calm vata and promote circulation. Castor oil packs applied to the belly once a week, followed by a hot water bottle, can provide relief from discomfort and help reduce swelling.

Stay consistent with your yoga routine, focusing on poses that involve twisting and gentle abdominal stretches, to promote proper circulation and digestion.

Keep in mind, though your practices are beneficial, these conditions can become serious. If you observe any intensifying symptoms, see your healthcare provider promptly. Continuing these steps with proper medical supervision ensures you take holistic and safe approaches to manage your health.

Dr. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

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

I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.

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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

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

Dr. Shazia Amreen
I am Dr. Shazia Amreen, an Ayurvedic physcian with a little over 7 years of hands-on experience in clinical practice. I did my MD in Ayurveda from Government Ayurveda Medical College, Bangalore—and honestly, those years helped me go much deeper into the classical texts and the clinical ground. Not just theory... actual healing. Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with a diverse set of patients—from chronic gut problems to skin & hair concerns, musculoskeletal issues, hormonal imbalances, kidney stones, you name it. My core strength really lies in Panchakarma and gastrointestinal healing, where I don’t just jump into detox, but take time to see where the agni is, how deep the ama has gone, and whether the body’s ready to reset. I’m very rooted in classical assessment—looking at dosha imbalance, dhatu state, and prakriti before planning anything. But also, I keep it grounded in modern daily life. What’s the point of a great herbal blend if the person can’t sleep on time or digest their food properly, right? That’s why I focus big on Ahara-Vihara guidance. I don’t just hand over a diet list—I walk people through why those changes matter, and how to make them sustainable. In my practice, I often blend Rasayana chikitsa with basic lifestyle coaching, especially for cases like IBS, PCOS, eczema, migraines, or stress-triggered flareups. Each case is unique, and I don’t believe in repeating the same formula just because it worked for someone else. I also emphasize emotional reset, especially in long-standing chronic cases—sometimes people carry fear, shame, or frustration about their illness. I try to hold space for that too. Whether it’s someone coming in for general detox, a fertility consult, or just confused by their symptoms—I aim to build a plan that makes sense to them. It should feel doable. Balanced. And over time, it should make them feel like they’re coming back home to their own body. That’s the kind of Ayurvedic care I believe in—and try to deliver every single 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.
