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. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

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. 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.

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. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. 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. 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. 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. 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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

Dr. 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. Suraj Amber
I am practicing Ayurveda for about 8 years now, feels strange saying that because honestly the learning never stops. My work is all about finding balance in the body, not in some abstract way, but literally working with each person’s unique prakriti and the vikriti they’re dealing with at that moment. I follow the classical principles — herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, diet corrections, lifestyle tweaks — but nothing is “one size fits all”. Each treatment plan is shaped by the person infront of me, their health history, and the small details you only catch when you really listen. Over time I’ve worked with people dealing with digestion troubles, joint pains, hormonal shifts, stress-related health dips, and even stubborn chronic stuff that didn’t respond much to other methods. My approach is to go for the root cause first, because treating just the symptoms feels like putting tape over a crack... it hides it for a while but doesn’t fix it. That’s also why I focus on prevention — if you stop the imbalance before it grows, you save a lot of pain later. I keep my learning alive by reading classical Ayurvedic texts and joining continuing education whenever I can fit it in (sometimes late nights with too much chai). And I try to pass that clarity on to patients, explaining why a certain herb or therapy is chosen, what changes they might notice, and how they can keep supporting themselves after treatment ends. For me, this is more than just work. It’s a way of living… making choices every day that keep the mind, body, and emotions in some kind of harmony. My goal is still the same as day one — offer care that’s authentic, safe, and actually works for the long run, while making sure the person feels heard and understood through the whole process.
