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.

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. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. 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.

I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

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. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

Dr. 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. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

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. 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. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.
