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

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.

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

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

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

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

Dr. 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. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

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. 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.

Dr. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.
