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

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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

Dr. M.Sushma
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.

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.

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. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

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. 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.
