hello sagar, Thank you for sharing the symptoms. Based on what you’ve described spasticity, numbness, stiffness in legs, dragging of leg, no bowel control, falling while walking or standing, and loss of balance this strongly points to a chronic neurological condition involving Vata derangement, especially Kshina Majja dhatu (depletion of nerve tissue) and Vyana + Apana Vata imbalance.

In Ayurveda, these signs indicate that the nervous system’s signals are not reaching your lower limbs properly, leading to stiffness, weakness, and loss of coordination. The bowel control loss suggests that Apana Vata (which governs elimination and lower body movement) is severely disturbed. If this condition has been developing gradually, it may be due to multiple sclerosis, spinal cord compression, post-stroke sequelae, or motor neuron disease depending on the cause.

Internal Medicines (8–12 weeks minimum): Ksheerabala 101 (avarti) – 1 capsule twice daily after food Balaaswagandhadi Taila – 10 ml with warm milk in the morning Ekangaveer Rasa – 1 tab twice daily after meals Maharasnadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before meals Ashwagandha Churna + Shatavari Churna – ½ tsp each with milk at bedtime

Shodhana / External Therapies (Strongly Recommended at Ayurvedic Centre):

Abhyanga (whole body oil massage) with Mahanarayana taila or Dhanwantaram taila Bashpa Swedana (herbal steam) after massage Matra Basti with Balashwagandhadi taila – daily for 7–14 days (must be supervised) Shirodhara with Ksheerbala or Brahmi taila (if mental stress/spasm is high)

Pathya (What You Should Eat & Follow):

Warm, oily, nourishing food – moong dal, rice, ghee, cow milk, root vegetables Use spices like ajwain, jeera, ginger, hing to support digestion Begin day with warm water + ghee (1 tsp) Soaked almonds (5), dates (2), raisins (7) – daily in morning Mild yoga (under supervision), passive leg movement, and sun exposure Avoid long sitting – change positions often, support posture

Apathya (Strictly Avoid):

Cold foods and drinks Dry fasting, raw food, fridge food Curd, cheese, fermented items Overexertion, stress, irregular sleep Suppressing natural urges (urine, stool)

Investigations (if not already done):

MRI Brain + Spine Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) Vitamin B12, D3 Serum Electrolytes, Calcium CBC, ESR, CRP Thyroid profile Blood sugar (FBS/PPBS or HbA1c)

Your body is clearly asking for deeper nerve rejuvenation and Vata balancing. If treated early with proper Ayurvedic Panchakarma and Rasayana therapy, strength and control can gradually return. This will require consistent care, but recovery is possible.

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

HELLO SAGAR,

Transverse myelitis is a neurological condition in which there is inflammation in the spinal cord , causing damage to myelin sheath- the protective covering around nerves. When myelin is damaged, nerve signals from the brain to the body get disturbed

SYMPTOMS IN THIS CONDITION

YOU DESCRIBED -stiffness and tightness in legs-spasticity -numbness or loss of sensation -dragging of legs , difficulty walking - falling while standing/ walking - loss of bowel/ bladder control

Ayurveda relates this condition mainly to vata vyadhi, which means disease caused by imbalance of Vata dosha- responsible for movement, sensation, and nerve acitivity

-VATA DUSHTI= disturbed vata affecting majja dhatu(nervous tissue) -MAJJA KSHAYA = degeneration of nerve/mylein tissue -ASTHI-MAJJA SROTAS DUSHTI= disturbance in channels carrying nutrition to nerves and bones -The result is loss of sensation, stiffness, weakness, and poor coordination

GOALS OF TREATMENT -balance vata dosha= the main cause - reduce inflammation in the spine - rejuvination and regenerate nervous tissue-majja dhatu - improves strength, coordination, and motor function - support bladder/bowel control - prevent further progression or relapse

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN divided into 3 stages= purification, nourishment, rejuvination

1) SHODHANA CHIKITSA= CLEANSING THERAPY cleanses and prepares the body to absorb medicines properly.this is especially when vata is severely aggravated

BASTI CHIKITSA= most effective for Vata basso nourishes the spine, nerves, and pelvis through medicated oils and decoctions via rectum

DURATION= 16 or 30 days based on severity -ANUVASANA BASTI= alternate days= ksheerbala taila 60 ml -NIRUHA BASTI= erandamooladi Niruha this reduces stiffness, improves leg movement and enhances nerve function if feasible go to panchakarma for this treatment

NASYA= instill 2 drops of ksheerbala taila in each nostrils daily morning empty stomach =helps improve sensory and motor response

2) INTERNAL MEDICIENS

-ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily in morning and night with warm milk =strengthens nerves, muscle tone

-BRAHMI GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily in morning and night =memory, nerve regeneration

-KSHEERBALA 101 CAPSULES= 1 cap with warm milk twice daily after meals =myelin regeneration, nerve nourishment

-MAHA VATA VIDHWAMSA RASA= 1 tab twice daily after meals = strong anti vata formulation

-RASNASAPTAKAM KASHAYA= 20 ml. twice daily with warm water before meals =relieves stiffness and inflammation

-SARASWATARISHTA=15ml with water twice daily after meals = rejuvination, calming

RASAYANA THERAPY AFTER RECOVERY

restores lost tissue and strength, especially majja dhatu(nerve tissue)

-CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp in morning empty stomach

-KAUNCH BEEJ CHURNA= 1 tsp daily to strengthen motor nerves with honey

-SHILAJIT RASAYANA= 1/2 tsp with milk at night for vitality, bone and nerve strength

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS A nourishing unctous, warm, and easily digestible diet is essential to calm vata and nourish nerves

-warm, cooked foods with ghee -milk boiled with ashwagandha / turmeric - moong dal khichdi , rice with ghee - steamed veggies like pumpkin, ash gourd , carrot -alomnds, soaked raisins, dates for energy -cows ghee- excellent for nerves -buttermilk with pinch of cumin-if digestion is weak

FOODS TO AVOID -dry, cold, raw, or stale foods - caffeinated drinks, cold water, soft drinks -fermented, spicy, or very sour food - packaged snacks, excessive sugar - smoking and alcohol

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA

DAILY ROUTINE SUGGESTIONS -oil massage daily with mahanarayan taila 30 min before bath - bath with warm water only -avoid exposure to cold, wind, loud noise - keep regular sleep wake cycles -rest but avoid completely imobitlity

-Anulom vilom= balances nervous system -Bhramari= calms mind, improves focus -Pawanmuktasana= loosens joints, improves circulation -Makarasana= relaxes spine, gentle for lower back -Bhujangasana= strengthens spinal muscles - Tadasana= balance and coordination

If walking is not possible begin with passive physiotherapy then gentle leg movement and progress slowly

This condition needs continuous and long term management. Result are gradual but often significant if therapies and treatment given are followed properly

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

The symptoms you’ve described – spasticity, numbness, stiffness, bowel issues, and balance problems – these can be very incapacitating and might relate to neurological disorders such as transverse myelitis or other conditions affecting the nervous system like demyelination. In Ayurveda, such symptoms are often associated with vitiation of Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system.

First, it’s crucial to seek a comprehensive evaluation from a healthcare professional, preferably a neurologist, to identify the specific cause. If a diagnosis such as transverse myelitis is confirmed, Ayurvedic management can be considered as a supportive measure.

For balancing Vata dosha, regular Abhyanga, or oil massage, using sesame oil may be beneficial. The warmth and nourishment provided by the oil can help soothe the nervous system and support muscle relaxation. Ideally, this practice should be done daily before bath for about 20-30 minutes.

Focus on a Vata-pacifying diet, which includes warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Consider including ghee, as it is nourishing and helps in toxin removal. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods as they increase Vata.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can be supportive in strengthening muscles and nerves. Consuming about 1 teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder mixed in warm milk at night may be helpful, but please consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice before starting.

Engage in gentle, slow-paced exercise like yoga tailored to your current ability. Forward bends, seated twists, and postures like Supta Matsyendrasana can be supportive. Pranayama, particularly Anulom-Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), can assist in balancing the body’s energies and calming Vata dosha.

Herbs like Brahmi or Shankhapushpi could support cognitive and nervous functions. Consuming these under supervision may improve mental clarity and help in control and balance.

Please prioritize working with healthcare providers to ensure interdisciplinary care, combining modern medical intervention with these Ayurvedic approaches to manage the condition comprehensively.

These symptoms suggest a complex neurological condition possibly related to issues in the spine or nervous system, such as transverse myelitis or demyelination. It’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist to confirm the diagnosis and understand the underlying cause. Both of these conditions can progress and lead to complications if not treated promptly.

In terms of Siddha-Ayurvedic perspectives that could support your overall management, first, consider balancing Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system. An imbalance here can contribute to symptoms like numbness, spasticity, and poor coordination. Look into dietary adjustments, opting for nourishing, warm, and easily digestible foods, such as cooked vegetables, warm soups, and herbal teas.

Incorporate herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi known for their neuroprotective properties. Use Triphala to aid digestion and support bowel regularity. They can be taken with warm water or as directed by an Ayurvedic practitioner. Oils like Mahanarayan Taila or Bala Taila could be used for massage on the legs to improve circulation and reduce stiffness.

Engage in gentle yoga and meditation to enhance mind-body coordination. Practicing Pranayama can help in steadying the mind and enhancing the body’s resilience against stress. Though these are supportive measures, remember these cannot replace or delay primary medical treatments.

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms, particularly with bowel control and mobility, it’s vital to address these urgently in a modern medical context, as they might need more immediate intervention beyond what Ayurveda can provide initially.

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.

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. 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. Deepanshu
I am deeply devoted to guiding people toward balance and wellbeing through the wisdom of Ayurveda, a system that has refined health for over 5,000 years. I don’t just look at symptoms, I try to understand the root imbalances in body, mind, and spirit—and then we work together step by step to restore harmony. Sometimes it feels like modern life pulls us in too many directions, but nature actually already hold the answers if we learn to listen carefully. My practice includes personalized Ayurvedic health plans, designed around your unique dosha, lifestyle, and goals. Each person is different—what nourishes one body can disturb another—so I never use one-size-fits all solutions. For deeper cleansing, I offer Panchakarma detox programs to eliminate accumulated toxins, renew digestion, and reset both body and mind. This process is intense but very rewarding, I always adjust it based on what your body can really handle. I also work a lot with stress, anxiety, and sleep issues—sometimes herbs, sometimes meditation or breath work, sometimes just small changes in routine that make a huge diference. Digestive problems are another focus area, since Ayurveda sees digestion as the foundation of health. With the right foods, spices, and daily habits, energy returns and the whole system works smoother. People often come for skin and hair care, where natural remedies bring lasting radiance without harsh chemicals. I also design programs for immune strengthening using herbs, meals, and daily practices, helping prevent illness before it begins. For those struggling with weight management, I emphasize metabolism, mindful eating, and sustainable routines, not strict diets. Chronic pain and inflammation are addressed with herbal oils, massage therapies, and targeted protocols, always keeping safety first. Alongside treatments, I guide patients in holistic lifestyle coaching—covering yoga, mindfulness, and daily rhythms that support long-term wellness. Ayurveda is not a quick fix, it’s a journey toward self-knowledge and healing. If you feel tired, stuck, or out of sync with yourself, I want to help you rediscover balance and natural vitality. It’s not about perfection, its about small, steady steps toward a healthier, more peaceful life

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. Prasad Pentakota
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. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

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 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.

I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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.
