HELLO PRADEEP,

You’ve been suffering from -Blocked and runny nose -heavy head-feeling like pressure in the forehead or sinuses -breathing difficulty - sneezing, coughing, watery eyes - feeling tired and dull - needing Monticope every day-otherwise, your symptoms come back fast

This is not just a cold, It’s a chronic allergy condition, likely allergic rhinitis or sinusitis from an ayurvedic point of view.

Ayurveda explains this kind of illness through dosha imbalance (vata, pitta, kapha) and Ama(toxins)

In your case

1) WEAK DIGESTION-> FORMATION OF AMA(TOXINS) -when digestion (agni) is weak, your body can’t digest food properly. -this creates sticky, toxic waste called “AMA” -Ama clogs your body’s channels and lowers your immunity (Ojas)

2) KAPHA + VATA IMBALANCE= breathing and cold issues -kapha is responsible for mucus, fluids, and structures - when kapha increases, it causes excess mucus, heaviness in head, blocked nose, sneezing, and cough. - Vata, which controls air and movement, becomes disturbed due to irregular eating, sleeping, and medicine use -vata then pushes kapha into wrong places- like your sinuses, lungs, and chest

THIS IS WHY YOU FEEL -air is stuck or moving weirdly in your chest/stomach -your head feels full or blocked - you get instant relief when you eat warm food- because digestion slightly improves

3) CHEMICAL MEDICINES ONLY SUPPRESS- NOT CURE -Monticope blocks the allergic reaction temporarily -but it doesn’t fix the root problem - over time, your body becomes dependent on the medicine, and the internal weakness increases

TREATMENT GOAL -balance vata and kapha doshas - remove toxins(ama) - boost agni(digestive power) - improve immunity - reduce dependence on chemical medicines -prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SHITOPALADI CHURNA+ GODANTI BHASMA + YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily with honey in morning and night for 3-6 months =for cough, cold, head heaviness

2) TRIBHUVAN KIRTI RAS= 125 mg twice daily after meals for 1 month =anti-viral, antipyretic, relieves congestion

3) HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk in morning and night for 3months =anti allergic, immunity booster

4) TALISADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with honey twice daily for 3 months =respiratory support

5) CHYAWANPRASHA(zandu brand)= 1 tsp daily in morning empty stomach for 6 months or more = rejuvenator, strengthens lungs and immunity

NASYA= 3 drops of ANU TAILA in each nostril daily in morning empty stomach =clears sinuses

IF AVAILABLE THIS TREATMENT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENEDED TO ELIMINATE THE ROOT CAUSE -VAMANA= for Kapha dosha(therapeutic vomiting)

EXTERNAL THERAPY

STEAM INHALATION with tulsi, eucalyptus, ajwain

WARM OIL MASSAGE on chest and back with KARPURADI TAILA

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED= pacify vata and kapha and avoid toxin formation

INCLUDE -warm, light, freshly prepared meals -moong dal, steamed vegetables, rice, ghee -spices=turmeric, ginger, cumin, black pepper, ajwain - herbal teas= tulsi, ginger, cinnamom -honey(never heated) -soups and warm water -goat milk or warm turmeric milk at night

AVOID -cold,refrigerated, or leftover food - curd, yogurt, cheese - milk + salt combination -oily, deep fried food - sugary or processed items - banana, especially at night - heavy legumes -rajma, chole etc

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early by 7am -nasya with Anu taila -warm water with lemon and honey - gentle stretching or yoga -avoid cold exposure or sudden temperature shifts

YOGA ASANA -bhujngasana -matsyasana -dhanurasana -Setu Bandhasana -suryanamaskar=5-6 rounds

PRANAYAM(highly effective) -Anulom-vilom= Balances Vata and kapha -Bhramari= relaxes mind, soothes sinuses -Kapalbhati= clears sinuses

HOME REMEDIES

1) TURMERIC MILK warm milk + 1/2 tsp turmeric + pinch black pepper before bed

2) GINGER TULSI TEA boil ginger , tulsi, cinnamon and sip throughout the day

3) AJWAIN POTLI STEAM dry roast ajwain, tie in cloth, inhale steam or place near pillow at night

4) HONEY AND CINNAMON 1/2 tsp honey + pinch cinnamon in morning

-This condition is manageable and reversible in Ayurveda with consistent treatment and lifestyle adjustments -It may take 3 to 6 months to reduce dependence on Antihistamines -keep regular follow ups -once body is detoxified and strengthened you’ll notice -less frequency and severity of symptoms -more energy - better sleep - no medicine dependency

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. 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.

hello Pradeep, You’re 33, and being dependent on Monticope (Montelukast + Levocetirizine) for 7 years clearly shows that your body is dealing with a chronic allergic condition most likely allergic rhinitis with underlying gut and immune imbalance. The fact that missing even one dose causes head heaviness, sneezing, nasal congestion, breathlessness, and strange sensations in the chest-stomach area points toward Pranavaha Srotas dushti (disturbed upper respiratory channels) and weak Agni (digestive fire).

In Ayurveda, this is considered a long-standing Kapha-Vata imbalance with unresolved ama (toxins) in the gut and respiratory tract. Your current dependence is like a cycle symptoms are being suppressed, but not eliminated. The strange feeling you mentioned between chest and stomach that settles after food hints at Samana Vata and Udana Vata disconnection meaning the body feels better only when digestion is engaged.

Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (6–8 weeks min): Agastya Haritaki Rasayanam – 1 tsp with warm water twice daily after food Sitopaladi Churna + Godanti Bhasma – 1 tsp + 125 mg with honey twice a day Anu Taila Nasya – 2 drops in each nostril every morning after oil pulling and steaming Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp with warm water before meals (improves digestion + clears Kapha) Haridra Khanda – 1 tsp at night with milk

Shodhana / External Therapies: Nasya Karma with Anu Taila – under supervision for 7 days (clinic-based) Abhyanga with Bala Taila followed by Nadi Swedana – relaxes chest & throat region Vamana Karma (if suitable after evaluation) – the most effective treatment to break the allergy cycle completely

Diet (Pathya): Drink warm water throughout the day Soak 5 black raisins + 1 dry fig overnight, eat in the morning Include ginger, ajwain, tulsi, black pepper in cooking Eat early dinner and include light soups, moong dal khichdi Cow ghee with meals – 1 tsp is a must

Avoid (Apathya): Curd, cold drinks, fridge food, banana, milkshakes Dust, synthetic perfumes, talcum powders Eating late or sleeping late Long gaps between meals Sitting under fan or AC after head bath

Investigations to Do (if not done recently): Serum IgE Absolute Eosinophil Count CBC Spirometry (to check any early asthma signs) Vitamin D3 Food allergy panel (optional)

This is not incurable, but yes the body has become conditioned to medicine and needs time and support to heal naturally. With consistent Ayurvedic treatment, lifestyle support, and eventual tapering, you can become free from daily medicine dependence.

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

Diet and Lifestyle

Pathya: light diet, ginger treated water for drinking.

Apathya: Day sleep, cold drinks, oily foods.

Eliminate meat, dairy products, white flour foods, and sugar.

Do not use nasal drops; they aggravate the condition by stopping the drainage and hardening the mucous. Decongestants also increase blood pressure.

Avoid cold, damp living, working, and sleeping quarters.

From the perspective of Ayurveda, long-term reliance on medications like Monticope can suggest an underlying imbalance in your doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata. The symptoms you describe—nasal congestion, cold symptoms, and breathing difficulties—melds with an imbalance in Kapha dosha, often accompanied by Vata disturbance when it comes to dryness and that sensation of air passing between chest and stomach. Your digestion seems influenced too, as eating provides temporary relief.

First, focusing on diet can help balance the dosha involved. Avoid foods that increase Kapha—such as dairy, cold beverages, and fried foods. Favor warm, cooked meals over raw or cold ones. Drinking warm water throughout the day and herbal teas like ginger-tulsi or peppermint can assist.

Next, incorporate routine. Start the day with a warm saline nasal rinse using a neti pot to clear blockages and support your respiratory health. This is typically followed by Nasya, which involves instilling a few drops of Anu taila (a herbal oil) in each nostril to lubricate nasal passages.

Pranayama exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) are instrumental in managing breathing issues and calming Vata. Practice daily for 5-10 minutes, increase as comfortable. These techniques can help stabilise prana vayu, reducing the sensation of air obstruction you noted.

Regular physical activity or yoga, at least 30 minutes a day, can invigorate the body, balance Kapha, and enhance lung function.

Remember to also maintain regular meals and sufficient rest to support balanced Agni (digestive fire). Including dosha-balancing spices like turmeric, cumin, ginger, and cinnamon in your meals can further assist in keeping Kapha in check.

While these remedies can be beneficial, it’s vital to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance, particularly if symptoms persist or worsen. If breathing problems become severe, immediate medical attention is essential.

The persistent nature of your allergy symptoms suggests an imbalance in the doshas, primarily an excess of kapha, and possibly vata as well. To address the root cause, consider the following steps rooted in Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. First, review your diet and daily habits. Try to minimize intake of kapha-provoking foods like dairy, processed sugar, and cold beverages. Instead, favor warm, light, and easily digestible meals. Incorporate spices like ginger and black pepper in your cooking; these are known to balance kapha and improve agni, or digestive fire.

To manage your breathing difficulties and nasal congestion, practice steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil to help clear the nasal passages. Try jal neti (nasal cleansing with saline water) in the morning on an empty stomach; this can help prevent buildup of mucus.

Additionally, guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and turmeric have anti-allergic properties and may help reduce your reliance on medication over time. You might consider taking a teaspoon of turmeric mixed with warm milk in the morning. Guduchi can be taken as a tablet or decoction as directed.

A regular pranayama (breathing exercise) practice, specifically Anulom Vilom and Bhramari can significantly help balance vata and improve respiratory health. Aim to practice these for about 10 minutes twice daily.

Remember, it’s crucial to not abruptly discontinue your current medication without consulting a healthcare professional. Monitoring your symptoms closely is important. If your condition worsens or doesn’t improve, it’s essential to seek immediate medical attention.

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.

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.
