I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.

In the context of a lumbar disc bulge at the L4-L5 vertebral level, Ayurveda offers treatments focusing on the underlying vata imbalance often contributing to conditions like these. While surgery might be essential, when there are risks of nerve damage or worsening conditions, Ayurveda can provide supportive care that may potentially alleviate pain and improve function.

First, it’s essential to understand how critical it is for your mom to avoid certain postures and activities that could exacerbate her condition. Encourage her to avoid lifting heavy weights, bending forward too much, or sitting for prolonged periods.

Ayurvedic treatments can include specific internal medications and external therapies. Internally, giving her Kashaya (decoctions) like Rasnasaptakam or Sahacharadi Kashayam can help manage pain and inflammation. These decoctions should be taken as advised by an Ayurvedic practitioner, typically 15-20 ml twice a day before meals.

Externally, abhyanga (oil massage) using medicated oils like Sahacharadi Thailam or Mahanarayan Thailam, followed by swedana (herbal steam), can be beneficial. These therapies help in reducing the stiffness and improving circulation in the affected area.

Dietary regulation is also crucial; she should consume vata-pacifying foods which are warm, moist, and nutritious. Including ghee in her diet can be beneficial, as it has lubricating and vata-balancing properties.

In some cases, Panchakarma therapies like Vasti (medicated enemas) can be particularly effective for alleviating symptoms related to vata disorders by removing toxins and balancing doshas. However, these should only be performed under the guidance of an experienced Ayurvedic physician.

Always consider these treatments as complementary, not a replacement for necessary surgical intervention. The severity and risk assessed by her allopathic doctors must guide the decision-making process for pursuing any surgical options. It is vital to regularly consult with both Ayurvedic and conventional healthcare providers to monitor her condition and choose the best course of action.

I am deeply committed to personalized care, tailoring each treatment plan according to a detailed Ayurvedic assessment of the patient’s Prakruti (constitution) and Vikruti (imbalance). My goal is to help patients regain their optimal health and confidence through natural, time-tested healing methods that treat the individual as a whole—body, mind, and spirit.

Disc bulge can be treated without surgery. But she needs to get admitted atleast for 7 days.

There is treatment called “kati basti” in ayurveda which gives immense response to pain and then enema therapy along with dhaara or massage depending on the physical and medical features of the patient. If you approach a marma specialist they can help with this by marma manipulation and reducing the disc bulge. Oral medication has to be continued for a period till the patient gets maximum cure.

Hello Anees,

Yes, a disc bulge at L4–L5 level with radiating nerve pain to the buttocks and thigh is commonly treated successfully in Ayurveda without surgery, especially when addressed early. Since your mother is only 33 years old, her body has good healing strength, and surgical intervention can often be avoided with consistent Ayurvedic therapy.

In Ayurvedic terms, this condition resembles Gridhrasi (sciatica) caused by Vata vitiation, leading to dryness, nerve irritation, and disc compression. The disc may be bulging, but if inflammation and nerve sensitivity are calmed, the pain and discomfort can reduce significantly, often without needing surgical correction.

Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks minimum) Trayodashanga Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals Yogaraja Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after meals Rasnadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 45 ml warm water before meals Dashamoolarishtam – 20 ml with equal water after meals Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm milk

If pain is sharp or radiating:

Apply Mahanarayana Taila or Vishagarbha Taila locally twice a day with gentle warmth Panchakarma and External Therapies (Highly Recommended) If possible, visit a certified Ayurvedic center and undergo:

Kati Basti – oil pooling therapy over the lower back (5–7 sittings) Abhyanga with Nadi Swedana – full body oil massage followed by steam to reduce muscle tension Patra Pinda Sweda – herbal leaf bolus massage for pain and inflammation Matra Basti – oil enema (30–60 ml) with Sahacharadi Taila or Narayana Taila for deep Vata relief

Diet (Pathya)

Include: warm rice, moong dal, ghee, beetroot, spinach, cooked methi, and milk boiled with turmeric Soaked almonds, soaked raisins, and 1 date daily Use cow ghee in all three meals to pacify Vata Hydrate with warm water throughout the day

Avoid (Apathya)

Cold water, sour curd, refrigerated and fermented food Spicy, fried items, junk food Excessive salt and sugar Sitting for long periods, bending forward, soft mattresses

Lifestyle Tips

Gentle yoga postures like Bhujangasana, Makarasana, and Setu Bandhasana (under guidance only) Avoid forward bending, squatting, and lifting weight Regular warm water bath in the morning Use orthopedic support while sitting

Investigations (Only if not done recently) MRI (already done) Serum Vitamin D3 Serum B12 Calcium levels

If there are no neurological deficits like foot drop or bladder issues, Ayurvedic treatment can bring long-term relief without surgery. The key is to calm the aggravated Vata, reduce nerve compression, and strengthen the spine and surrounding muscles gradually.

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

Ayurveda offers several treatment options for a spine disc bulge at the L4-L5 level, focusing on alleviating pain and promoting natural healing. Surgery may be recommended in severe cases, but Ayurveda can provide support to manage the condition and improve quality of life. The primary goal is to reduce inflammation, pain, and pressure on the nerves.

For dietary recommendations, your mom can include foods that are anti-inflammatory and nourishing. This means preferring warm, cooked meals over raw and cold foods, focusing on soups, stews, and porridges. Spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic can help reduce inflammation due to their Vata balancing properties. Ensure she stays hydrated with warm water or herbal teas (like ginger or chamomile).

Panchakarma therapy may offer effective support for this condition. This includes treatments like Abhyanga (oil massage), Swedana (herbal steam therapy) and Basti (medicated enemas) specifically aimed at reducing Vata dosha, which often causes imbalances leading to pain and nerve irritation. These therapies should be performed under guidance of an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor them to your mom’s specific needs.

Encouraging mild, consistent physical activity is also vital—simple yoga poses such as Bhujangasana (Cobra pose) and Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half spinal twist) can help, but should be introduced gradually and gently, paying attention to her comfort levels and avoiding any strain.

Additionally, consider using Ayurvedic herbal supplements that are traditionally used for musculoskeletal and nerve issues. Herbs like Shallaki (Boswellia serrata) and Guggulu may be beneficial, but always consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before introducing any new supplements, especially if she’s already taking allopathic medications.

Finally, managing her stress is also critical, as it can exacerbate pain. Encourage practices like meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises) daily to calm the mind and reduce tension.

If her condition worsens or if she experiences debilitating symptoms it’s important to follow up with a healthcare provider to reevaluate her treatment plan, keeping all options open for her benefit.

I am working as an Ayurvedic doctor since 2 yrs now, and honestly the more I work with patients, the more I realise how vast Ayurveda actually is—like it’s not just herbs n oils, it’s a whole mindset shift too. What I try to do daily is bring the traditional knowledge into actual usable treatment plans that ppl today can follow without feeling overwhelmed. Because yeah, modern life is fast, messy, complicated—and Ayurveda has to adapt, not stay frozen in texts. My focus is always to go beyond the symptom, like okay you’ve got acidity or hairfall or anxiety... but why? where is it sitting in the body? That’s where I do prakriti-vikriti analysis, diet breakdowns, gut evaluations—some ppl don’t even know their sleep patterns are messing up their hormones till we sit and talk it out. I don’t just push medicine. I explain why your food matters, why your bowel timings affect your skin, or how skipping breakfast can worsen PCOD. I keep it simple but sharp. Patients feel heard I think, coz I don’t rush. Even for lifestyle disorders like diabties, thyroid, IBS or stress burnouts—I try combining classical herbs with practical daily changes that they can actually do. And yeah, I constantly update myself—reading, workshops, CME’s, sometimes even just asking senior docs. Ayurveda is ancient, sure—but if you don’t bring it into present day logic, what’s the point right? Every person I treat kinda teaches me something new. No case is “small”, whether it's hairfall or constipation or sleep trouble... each one needs its own lens. I believe in being honest, open, and okay to say “I don’t know yet” till I study more. That’s how I grow, that’s how I care.

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.

I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with over 28 years of clinical experience dedicated to the principles and practice of authentic Ayurvedic medicine. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of treating more than 100,000 patients through both in-person consultations and online platforms. My approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic diagnostics—such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), Roga-Rogi Pariksha (patient and disease evaluation), and a personalized assessment of prakriti (body constitution). Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of health conditions across all age groups—from acute infections and digestive issues to chronic and lifestyle disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. I place strong emphasis on individualized care, combining herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox therapies, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to ensure long-term healing and disease prevention. My extensive experience also includes addressing complex, chronic illnesses that require a deep understanding of both the pathology and the patient’s overall constitution. I have worked with patients who had previously struggled with little success in other systems of medicine, and have guided many toward sustainable recovery and improved quality of life. Whether treating elderly patients with degenerative disorders or young adults facing hormonal or metabolic challenges, I strive to offer care that is compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-informed. My goal is to empower patients with Ayurvedic wisdom so they can take an active role in their healing journey. I continue to remain updated with the evolving landscape of integrative health and value the importance of patient education, ethical practice, and consistent follow-up. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession, but a lifelong commitment to restoring balance and promoting well-being, one patient at a time.

I am someone who got into Ayurveda not just for treating diseases but cuz I always felt drawn to understanding why things go out of balance in the first place. My work’s rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—I’ve spent years studying them, not just memorizing shlokas but really figuring out what they mean in today’s context. At the same time, I also use modern diagnostic stuff where needed, just to get a fuller picture. Pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) is something I rely on a lot—it’s not easy to master but with practice, it kinda tells you what the body’s hiding, even before symptoms scream out loud. I focus mostly on chronic issues… like gut problems, fatigue, hormonal mess, skin disorders, and stress stuff that just doesn’t go away with tablets. I use herbal formulations (mostly customized), Panchakarma when needed—not in a one-size way but actually based on the person’s Prakriti and Vikriti. I also spend a good chunk of time explaining things to patients. Like why you should eat this in winter, or skip curd at night or not mix fruits with milk—little stuff people think doesn’t matter, but actually does in Ayurveda. Over time, I’ve realized people don’t just want relief, they want to understand how their body works again. That’s kinda where I feel most useful. I help patients reconnect with natural rhythms, daily routines, sleep cycles, digestion, seasons—all of it. And ya, it’s slow sometimes. But once things shift internally, you see it show up on the outside too. That’s what keeps me going honestly. Whether it’s stress or sluggish metabolism or just someone feeling “not right” without knowing why—I try to listen deep, go to the root n create a treatment path that’s realistic and sustainable. Not just ideal on paper. Healing, for me, is something we do together, not something I just hand over. I want people to feel heard n understood… and to believe their bodies can heal, with the right support. That’s what Ayurveda is to me—real, ancient, and still totally alive.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I’m Dr. Maitri, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Dravyaguna (Ayurvedic Pharmacology), with a strong foundation in classical Ayurvedic herbs and their therapeutic applications. I currently run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli, where I have been practicing for the past two years, offering personalized treatment plans rooted in the principles of Ayurveda. My clinical focus includes the management of PCOD, skin and hair disorders, and joint-related conditions such as arthritis, stiffness, and back pain. By integrating my academic training with hands-on experience, I strive to provide treatments that are both effective and sustainable. I place a strong emphasis on understanding each patient’s prakriti (individual constitution) and tailor therapies using medicinal herbs, dietary corrections (ahara), and lifestyle guidance (vihara) to restore balance and long-term health. Having a background in Dravyaguna allows me to apply the power of plant-based medicine with precision. I deeply study the rasa, guna, virya, vipaka, and prabhava of each herb before selecting them for my formulations. This ensures that my prescriptions are not just symptomatic but deeply curative, targeting the root causes of disease. In my practice, I have seen encouraging results in cases of hormonal imbalance, acne, pigmentation, premature hair fall, and chronic joint pain. I also guide patients through seasonal detox plans and rejuvenation therapies to enhance vitality and prevent recurrence of illness. I am passionate about making Ayurveda understandable and practical for today’s lifestyle. Whether it’s managing modern-day metabolic issues or offering natural beauty solutions, my goal is to empower patients with holistic tools for long-term well-being. As I continue my postgraduate journey, I remain committed to deepening my knowledge in medicinal plants and applying that wisdom to help patients heal naturally and completely.

Dr. Khushboo
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. Ayush Bansal
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with 1 year of hands-on clinical experience, committed to providing effective and holistic healthcare solutions. I began my professional journey as a VOPD (Virtual Outpatient Department) doctor at Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited, where I served for 6 months. During this time, I gained valuable experience in patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning while managing a variety of acute and chronic health conditions through Ayurvedic principles. My role involved virtual consultations, customized treatment protocols, and continuous patient follow-ups, allowing me to sharpen my diagnostic and counseling skills in both preventive and curative aspects of Ayurveda. Following this, I worked as a Resident Doctor at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur, where I further strengthened my clinical expertise. Here, I was actively involved in the management of patients undergoing traditional Panchakarma therapies, Ayurvedic detoxification procedures, and personalized treatment regimens. My responsibilities included in-depth patient consultations, planning and executing Panchakarma therapies, and collaborating closely with senior Ayurvedic consultants to ensure safe and effective patient care. This role enhanced my understanding of classical Ayurvedic therapies, lifestyle modifications, and integrative approaches tailored to individual patient needs. With experience in both OPD and Panchakarma settings, I approach each patient with empathy, attentiveness, and a commitment to delivering authentic Ayurvedic care. My goal is to help patients achieve long-term wellness through natural healing methods rooted in traditional Ayurvedic knowledge.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I have been practicing as a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician since 1990, with over three decades of clinical experience in treating a wide range of chronic and lifestyle-related health conditions. My core areas of focus include hair disorders, skin diseases, and lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, and stress-related imbalances. Over the years, I have developed a patient-centric approach that emphasizes deep-rooted healing through authentic Ayurvedic principles. My treatment philosophy is based on understanding the unique constitution (prakriti) and imbalance (vikriti) of each patient, allowing me to craft individualized care plans using classical formulations, diet corrections, detox therapies (shodhana), and lifestyle modifications. Whether it’s persistent hair fall, recurring skin allergies, or long-term metabolic disorders, I aim to address the root cause rather than just suppress symptoms. In the management of lifestyle disorders like diabetes and arthritis, I integrate Ayurvedic medicines with structured dinacharya (daily routines) and ahar (dietary guidance), focusing on sustainable results and long-term wellness. I also work extensively with stress-related concerns, offering holistic strategies that incorporate mind-body practices, including meditation, herbal support, and counseling rooted in Ayurveda. With a strong foundation in traditional Ayurvedic texts and decades of hands-on experience, I remain committed to providing safe, natural, and effective healthcare solutions. My goal is to guide patients toward a balanced life, free from chronic ailments, through personalized treatment protocols that restore harmony to both body and mind.
