Pavan, Stop All Heavy Fats for Now even ghee, nuts, fried food, and dairy should be minimized until digestion improves. Later, you can reintroduce slowly. Start a Simple Agni-Reset Detox Diet for 7–10 Days

Eat only-Warm cooked food (moong dal khichdi, lauki sabzi, rice)

No cold water, raw salads, or dairy

Use jeera, ginger, ajwain, hing in cooking

Sip warm water all day with a pinch of:

Dry ginger

Cumin (jeera)

Fennel (saunf) 3. Digestive Tea to Stimulate Bile + Remove Ama

Boil:1 tsp coriander seeds

½ tsp cumin

½ tsp fennel in 2 cups water → reduce to 1 cup

HELLO PAVAN,

YOU ARE EXPERIENCING -acidity, and bloating, especially after eating even small amounts of ghee -sticky stools, indicating incomplete digestion -nausea/vomiting feeling and chronic indigestion

These symptoms show your digestive system is weak and overloaded. In Ayurveda, we say -your digestive fire is weak called mandagni -you have ama(toxic undigested waste in gut) - your bile flow is sluggish- bile helps in digesting fats -likely imbalance in kapha- mucus, heaviness and pitta-acid, bile doshas

TREATMENT GOAL -remove toxins from digestive system -strengthen digestive fire - improves liver and bile function- so your body can digest fats and heavy foods - reduce kapha and pitta imbalances - prevent further relapses of bloating, nausea, and sticky stools

TREATMENT PLAN

PHASE 1= DETOXIFY AND IMPROVE DIGESTION DURATION= 1 month

1) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals for 4 weeks =reduces gas, improves digestion, relieves bloating

2) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with 1 tsp honey after meals =stimulates digestive fie, burns toxins

3) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water at night =controls acidity, relieves heart burn , clears bowel regularly

PHASE 2= LIVER AND BILE SUPPORT DURATION= for 6-8 weeks

4) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals =improves liver function, reduces boating and water retention

5) LIV 52 DS= 1 tab twice daily after meals =supports bile flow, improves liver strength

6) BHUMYAMALAKI CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm water =helps with sluggish liver and bile flow

DIET PLAN

AVOID these increase acidity, slow digestion, or worsen liver/gut load -ghee, oil, butter, fried or greasy food - milk ,panner , curd-dairy -wheat heavy food-roti, paratha - refined sugar, sweets - tea, coffee, cold drinks - cold water, fridge stored foods -fermented food-idli, dosa, pickles - heavy pulses- chana, rajma, urad dal - raw salads or fruits in excess

EAT MORE -moong dal khichdi spiced with cumin, turmeric -warm vegetables soup=lauki, pumpkin , ash gourd, tinda, torai -steamed or lightly sautéed vegetables -jeera water or ajwain water - thin buttermilk with roasted cumin, rock salt, coriander -warm ginger lemon tea -steamed rice with lightly spiced dal -saunf tea after meals

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

DAILY HABITS -eat at regular times-don’t skip or delay meals - eat slowly- chew your food well -avoid overeating- eat till 70% full -do not lie down after eating- walk for 10-15 minutes after meals -sleep early before 11 pm- helps liver repair and bile balance -wake up early- ideally before 6:30 am - avoid screen time while eating

YOGA ASANAS- FOR DIGESTION AND LIVER HEALTH -pawanmuktasana= reduce gas -ardha matsyendrasana= massages digestive organs -bhujangasana= stimulates liver and pancreas -vajrasana-sit in this after meals for 5-10 mins -dhanurasana= stimulates abdominal organs

PRANAYAM-breath-based detox and nervous system reset -Nadi sodhana= balances mind and body -do 7-10 rounds daily

-sheetali pranayam= cooling, helps with acidity -bhramari= reduces stress and improve digestion - kapalbhati= only after digestion improves, avoid now if bloated

AVOID GHEE COMPLETELY FOR NOW -ghee requires strong bile flow to digest in your case there’s sluggish bile secretion, so ghee stays undigested->causes nausea, heaviness , acidity

-weak digestion+ghee=toxin residue formation -vomiting sensation is a sign that your system is rejecting the fat

WHEN CAN YOU TAKE GHEE AGAIN? Only after 4-6 weeks of strengthening your digestion and bile flow using -treatment given -following a light warm, spiced infused diet -ensure your stools are well formed, non sticky -bloating and nausea are completely gone

THEN start consuming ghee slowly

once digestion improves 1) start with 2-3 drops of melted cow ghee , mixed into warm khichdi or rice 2) observe for 2-3 days. If no discomfort 3) gradually increase to 1/2 tsp over 2 weeks 4) never take ghee on empty stomach 5) always combines ghee with warm, moist foods

DO FOLLOW THIS WILL BE CURED EASILY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

You’re experiencing symptoms that may relate to an imbalance in your digestive system, specifically related to your body’s handling of fats. In Ayurveda, this could indicate a disruption of the pitta dosha, as ghee is typically cooling but in some individuals, it can aggravate existing conditions.

Firstly, consider your diet. Avoid heavy, oily, spicy, and sour foods which can exacerbate pitta-related issues. Instead, focus on incorporating more pitta-pacifying foods such as sweet fruits, vegetables like cucumber and zucchini, and grains like basmati rice and oats. Ensure that your meals are regular and not too large, eating only until you’re moderately satisfied to avoid overburdening the digestive system.

Next, enhancing your agni, or digestive fire, can aid in better digestion and metabolism of fats. Start meals with a small piece of fresh ginger with a few drops of lime juice and a pinch of rock salt to stimulate appetite and digestion. This simple yet effective remedy aligns with Ayurvedic practices to kindle the digestive fire.

Incorporating the use of bitter and astringent herbs, like Triphala, could also help balance the digestive system. Triphala, traditionally used in Ayurveda, is known for supporting a healthy gut and regular bowel movements when taken regularly. Mix one teaspoon of Triphala powder in warm water and drink it before bedtime.

Mindful lifestyle changes might play a significant role. Regular practices like yoga and meditation can help alleviate stress that contributes to digestive issues. Engage in pranayama exercises such as alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana) which aids in balancing doshas and soothing the digestive system.

It is important to also listen to your body’s reactions. If symptoms persist, remain sever or worsen, seek out a consultation with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider to tailor these suggestions to your precise constitution and dosha balance.

The symptoms you’re experiencing—acidity, bloating, vomiting sensation, and sticky stools—indicate a possible imbalance in the digestive fire or agni, and could be tied to low bile flow affecting digestion. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, these might be understood as a result of aggravated Pitta and possible Kapha influences causing sluggish digestion and while might impair nutrient assimilation.

Start by addressing your diet. Avoid heavy, oily, and difficult-to-digest foods, including ghee for now, since it seems to trigger your symptoms. Instead, focus on easily digestible foods like moong dal khichdi, lightly steamed vegetables, and warm soups. Incorporating spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel in your meals can help enhance digestion without overheating your system.

You may also want to consider Triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation known to balance the three doshas and support digestive health. Taking Triphala churna with warm water at bedtime could aid in regularizing bowel movements and detoxifying the system.

Additionally, you might benefit from panchakarma therapies, such as Virechana (therapeutic purgation), which is effective in cleansing the liver and could naturally encourage bile production. However, undertake this under the supervision of an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can closely monitor your response to the treatment.

Ensure to practice regular abdominal breathing exercises or pranayama like Nadi Shodhana, which can stimulate the digestive system and help in balancing the dosha energies. Also, drink warm water throughout the day to aid digestion and avoid cold or refrigerated foods.

Even though Ayurveda can offer substantial support, if your condition worsens or you notice other symptoms such as jaundice, it’s important to seek immediate medical attention. Balancing agni and adjusting bile flow needs cautious monitoring, and sometimes surgical or pharmacological intervention might be necessary. Keep in close contact with your healthcare provider while trying these suggestions.

HELLO PAVAN,

It sounds like you’re experiencing symptoms of chronic indigestion, with acidity, bloating, nausea, sticky stools, and poor fat digestion like ghee intolerance. Your homeopathy doctor suggests low bile flow which aligns with Ayurvedic concepts of impaired Agni(digestive fire) and possibly Kapha-pitta imbalance.

PROBABLE DIAGNOSIS -Mandagni-low digestive fire -Ama-toxic, undigested residue -Kapha-pitta imbalance -Possibly yakrit vikara(liver dysfunction) leading to reduced bile flow

1) DIET

AVOID -ghee temporarily, oils, fried, and heavy foods -dairy especially cold milk, panner, cheese -cold drinks, carbonated beverages -wheat in excess may increase kapha -pulses like rajma, chana, urad dal - gas froming -overeating or irregular meals

INCLUDE -warm, freshly cooked light meals -moong dal , red rice, or basmati rice -steamed vegetables bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd -spices that aid digestion - cumin, fennel, ginger, coriander, turmeric - warm jeera water or ajwain water after meals

DAILY ROUTINE MEAL PLAN

MORNING= warm water + 1 tsp honey + lemon juice

BREAKFAST= steamed vegetables + moong dal khichdi

MID MORNING= buttermilk with roasted jeera and mint

LUNCH= red rice+ dal+ bottle gourd curry

EVENING= ginger tea(no milk) + light snacks

DINNER= light soup + cooked vegetables

POST DINNER= warm ajwain water

2) LIFESTYLE -Early regular meals= eat before sunset -walk 20-25 minutes after meals to stimulate digestion -Avoid daytime sleeping0increases kapha -Avoid late nights, excessive screen time -Practice deep breathing and meditation to reduce stress, which worsens indigestion

3) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily before meals with warm water for 6-8 weeks =reduces acidity, supports bile flow

-HINGWASTAKA CHUNRA= 1 tsp before meals with warm water or ghee for 6 weeks = relieves bloating, improves digestion

-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water for 3 months = detoxifies, regulates bowel, liver support

-KUTKI POWDER= 250 mh twice daily with warm water after meals for 4-6 months = stimulates bile, liver detox

-BHUMIAMALAKI CAPSULES= 1 cap(500mg) after lunch and dinner with water for 6 weeks =supports liver, reduces AMA

-SOOTSEKHAR RASA= 1 tab after meals with honey for 6 weeks = antacid, nausea relief

-AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab after meals twice daily with lukewarm water for 4 weeks =liver support, bile regulation

HOME REMEDIES

JEERA-AJWAIN-FENNEL TEA= boil 1/2 tsp of each in 2 cups water, reduces to 1 cup. Sip after meals daily

WARM LEMON WATER(1/2 lemon+warm water)= morning empty stomach, optional honey daily

GINGER JUICE+ HONEY(1 tsp each)= 15 mins before lunch and dinner for 2-3 weeks

PANCHAKARMA THERAPY(at clinic)

VIRECHANA= purgation with trivrit leha =after 2-3 weeks of digestive fire restoration. ideal for Pitta clearance and bile stimulation

BASTI= oil and decoction enemas =in chronic or recurring cases

ABYANGA + SWEDANA= warm oil massage + steam= helps remove ama, balances kapha

YOGA AND PRANAYAM

ASANA= 20-25 min daily these stimulate digestion, liver function, and reduce bloating

-Vajrasana= 5 min after meals -pawanmuktasana= 2 min * 2 -ardha matsyendrasana= 1 min each side -bhujangasana= 1-2 min - paschimottanasana= 2-3 mins -Setu Bandhasana= 1-2 mins -apanasana= 1 min*2

PRANAYAM= 10-15 min pranayam calms the nervous system, enhances digestive fire, and improves liver energy and bile secretion

-Nadi sodhana= 5-7 mins, balances doshas, calms mind, regulate agni -Sheetali= 5 mins, soothes acidity and reduces heat -Bhramari= 3-5 mins, reduces stress, nausea and gastric tightness

RELAXATION= 5 minutes -shavasana at the end

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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.

ChatGPT said: 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: 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.
