Hi Bal , while seeing your symptoms we can understood that PITA DOSA of your body is vitiated Our treatment should also focus on that .

Internally 1.Guluchyadi kwatham tab 2-0-2 before food 2.Krimighna vati 1-0-1after food 3.Thriphala guggulu 1-0-1after food

Externally 1.Thriphaladi churnam for washing- 1tsp powder boiled with 2-3litre of water and in warm temperature do wash, twice daily

Weekly once Virechana(Purgation) with Avipathy churnam (1packet/10gm) with ½glass hot water in empty stomach followed by light diet only - this is to cleanse your body and to balance your PITA dosa

To address cysts and the discomfort they cause, integrating Ayurvedic principles can help manage symptoms and improve overall health. Understanding the condition through the Ayurvedic lens, these cysts may be linked to imbalances in the doshas, especially kapha and pitta. Here’s a practical approach to consider:

First, focus on diet. Make sure to reduce intake of oily, spicy, and heavy foods, which can aggravate pitta and kapha. Instead, choose lighter meals with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Bitter and astringent flavors should be increased, as they are balancing for pitta. Drink warm water throughout the day to support digestion and help flush toxins from the body.

Incorporate herbal remedies like turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Try having a teaspoon mixed in warm milk daily to help reduce inflammation. Also, neem, which has antibacterial and purifying effects, can be used topically or internally. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for the best form and dose tailored to your body.

Moreover, maintaining proper hygiene is key. Use a mild, natural cleansing agent to avoid irritating the affected area. Wearing loose, cotton underwear can also be helpful to prevent friction and allow for air circulation.

Regular exercise enhances blood flow and balances doshas, aim for gentle activities like brisk walking or yoga. Pranayama, especially practices such as nadi shodhana, can aid in balancing your energy and relieving stress.

Lastly, consider a detox therapy, such as panchakarma under the guidance of a qualified Ayurveda specialist. This can be tailored to your constitution to effectively remove deep-seated toxins and rebalance doshas. Avoid self-prescribing herbs or treatments without professional guidance, as individual conditions can vary greatly. If symptoms worsen or do not improve, consulting with both an Ayurvedic and conventional healthcare provider is advisable.

I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief.

HELLO BAL,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re dealing with such persistent and painful symptoms. Hidradenitis suppurative (HS) can be incredibly challenging, especially when it’s chronic and affecting sensitive areas like the vulva or groin.

-Avoid friction, tight clothing, and shaving in affected areas -use antibacterial washes like chlorohexidine

In Ayurveda, HS symptoms resemble “VIDRADHI” (deep abscess) or “DUSHTA VRANA” (chronic wounds), caused by imbalance in the pitta and kapha doshas, along with rakta dushti (vitiation of blood)

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) PATOLKATUROHINYADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily before meals =blood purifier, reduces inflammation and skin infections

2) PANCHATIKTA GHRITA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after food with warm water =purifies blood, supports healing of chronic wounds and abscesses

3) SARIVADYASAVA= 25ml with equal water after meals =blood purification, cooling, reduces burning and itching sensation

4) NIMBADI GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =antibacterial, balances pitta-kapha, effective in pustular and cystic skin lesions

5) HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk =anti inflammatory, anti allergic, supports skin immunity

6) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals with water =acts as a rejuvinator improves skin healing reduces pus and infection

LOCAL TREATMENT

1) TRIPHALA DECOCTION WASH -clean affected area once/twice daily with lukewarm triphala decoction =acts as antiseptic and promotes healing.

2) NEEM PASTE -can be applied topically on intact skin or early lesions- not open wounds =antibacterial and antiinflammatory

DIET AND LIFESTYLE

-warm, cooked, easy to digest food -moong dal khichdi, rice, boiled steamed veggie -bitter vegetables= neem, Karela, methi , turmeric -spices= turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel -adequate hydration -loose,breathable cotton underwear

AVOID -dairy-especially curd and cheese -red meat ,eggs -sugar, fried and fermented foods -alcohol,smoking or excessive caffeine -tight clothing or synthetic underwear

LIFESTYLE -gentle yoga no pressure on affected area -meditation and pranayam to reduce flare up triggers from stress -adequate sleep and hygiene

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

hello bal, You’re 58, and living with recurrent vaginal cysts for 4 years, along with chronic conditions like lichen simplex, hidradenitis suppurativa, and irregular heartbeat, your body is signaling deep-seated chronic inflammation, suppressed immunity, and tissue-level imbalance. Repeated antibiotic use is giving only temporary relief, but not addressing the root cause and over time, it may actually increase the sensitivity and recurrence.

In Ayurveda, this kind of condition is considered a Dushta Yonivyapad, mainly involving Pitta-Rakta-Vata dushti along with chronic Kapha-Srotorodha (blockage and fluid stagnation). The cysts are not only local; they’re a manifestation of accumulated toxins (Ama), hormonal imbalance, and long-standing tissue-level damage. That’s why lichen simplex, HS, and cysts are overlapping they are all auto-inflammatory in nature, aggravated by poor lymphatic drainage and internal heat.

But yes with internal detox, immune modulation, and consistent care, you can ease the symptoms and reduce recurrence. It needs a patient but steady effort.

Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks minimum): Guggulutiktaka Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before food, twice daily Kaishora Guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily after food Sudarshan Vati – 2 tabs twice daily to reduce chronic inflammation and prevent infections Punarnavadi Mandura – 1 tab twice daily (helps in tissue repair, supports liver and blood) Kanchanara Guggulu – 2 tabs at bedtime for cyst resolution External Therapies (if possible at home or in clinic): Sitz bath (Yoni avagaha) with Triphala + Neem + Turmeric decoction – 15 mins daily Gentle yoni pichu (cotton swab dipped in Jatyadi Taila or Nirgundi Taila) – insert locally for 15 mins after bath, if comfortable Local application: Lodhra + Manjistha + Yashtimadhu paste (mix with rose water) over vulvar area 3 times/week

Pathya (Diet and Routine): Start your day with warm water + 1 tsp cow ghee Include bitter and astringent tastes – methi, neem, turmeric, karela, lauki, beetroot, moringa Eat freshly cooked food, avoid leftover or cold food Hydrate with coriander + fennel seed water Take 5 soaked almonds, 7 raisins, and 2 dates every morning

Avoid (Apathya): Curd, cheese, paneer, non-veg food during active flare Cold water, fridge food, reheated leftovers Sugary snacks, bread, bakery items Tight undergarments, synthetic fabrics Stress, sleep disturbance

Investigations to Rule Out Underlying Aggravators: HbA1c (check sugar profile if diabetic tendency suspected) CRP, ESR (for inflammation tracking) Pelvic USG (to reassess cyst type/structure) Vitamin D3 and B12 levels Pap smear if not done recently

This kind of condition needs layered healing not just symptomatic relief. We have to cool the inflammation, detoxify, repair tissues, and support hormonal-liver-lymphatic function. With patience and gentle Ayurveda, it’s absolutely possible to reduce your discomfort and bring long-term relief.

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

Understanding your symptoms, which seem to align with a condition like hidradenitis suppurativa, it’s crucial to first emphasize the importance of not discontinuing prescribed medications without consulting your doctor. However, complementary approaches can support your treatment.

Hidradenitis suppurativa often reflects an imbalance, particularly of the pitta dosha, which governs inflammation and heat in the body. To ease your symptoms, focus on pacifying pitta through diet and lifestyle modifications. Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods that can aggravate pitta. Include cooling foods like cucumber, melons, and leafy greens. Drink plenty of water and tender coconut water throughout the day to keep yourself hydrated and cool.

Use turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, by consuming it with warm milk, ideally before bed. Applying a paste of turmeric and sandalwood at the site can provide relief and support detoxification. Do this once daily for a week and observe changes.

Regular kanchanar guggulu, an ayurvedic preparation, can promote healing of skin tissue and alleviate the issue. Take it as per the guidelines on the package or as advised by an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Maintain proper hygiene; gently clean affected areas with neem or tulsi (holy basil) infused water, known for their antibacterial properties, and dry thoroughly, ensuring no moisture retention.

Gentle yoga asanas, like marjariasana (cat pose) and bitilasana (cow pose), can support lymphatic circulation which is beneficial. Practice for 15 minutes daily in a calm environment. Avoid harsh movements or high-intensity workouts that increase friction or sweat.

Please share developments or persisting severity with a healthcare provider since it is essential for monitoring a condition like this. Remember, integrative approaches can be supportive but should never replace professional medical treatments.

Dr. Arun Desai
I am Dr. Arun Desai, working in Ayurveda for 19+ years now, both online and offline. My clinic, Ayur Sanjivani, is at #44 B 1, Opp Adarsh Laundry, beside Tej Residency, near Kavalemath Somwaar Peth Cross in Tilakwadi, Belgaum – bit of a long address but patients seem to find it just fine. Over time I’ve learned that people today want relief fast but still safe and lasting. That’s where I mix the depth of classical Ayurveda with practical tweaks to suit this fast moving lifestyle. I don’t like giving something that just masks a symptom – I want to get to the root cause whenever possible. At the clinic, I try to keep things warm and easy to talk, not a stiff doctor’s table vibe. Whether it’s diagnosis, a Panchakarma session, or simple counseling, I want patients to feel they can ask anything, even small doubts. Education matters too – when someone understands why a certain diet or lifestyle change is needed, they actually follow it better. Treatments may include herbal formulations, diet charts, yoga routines, exercise plans, detox, anti-stress work – all depending on their prakruti and condition. Over the years, I’ve treated people from many walks of life – each case different, which keeps me learning. Some come for joint pain, some for skin problems, others for lifestyle disorders like diabetes or high BP. I still follow authentic Ayurvedic principles but adapt them so they work in today’s reality. And yes, I’m always updating my knowledge, making sure the practice stays ethical and effective, because for me, Ayurveda isn’t just treatment – it’s a way to help someone rebuild their health from inside out.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

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. 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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
