HELLO NAVYA,

You’re experiencing lower back pain on the left side, with radiating pain into right leg. This kind of pain could be due to sciatica, lumbar strain, or disc-related issues (like a slipped or herniated disc). You are already taking some medications(kindly mention which) , but pain worsens with activity.

Your spine is mode of bones, discs, nerves and muscles. If any of the discs or muscles are injured or strained, it can cause pain. -Lower back usually occurs due to -overstrain or wrong posture -lifting heavy weights -long sitting hourd - sudden twisting or bending - lack of strength in back muscles

When the pain radiates to leg, especially right leg , it may indicate -Sciatica= a nerve in the lower spine gets pressed -disc prolapse-slipped disc -muscle tightness pressing the nerve

This kind of pain in Ayurveda is mainly due to Vata dosha aggravation

TREATMENT GOAL -reduce pain and inflammation -correct posture and muscle imbalance -balance vata dosha - strengthen the spines and nerves -prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) DHANWANTHARAM GULIKA= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =vata kapha pacifier, supports nerves , muscles and back

2) SIMHANADA GUGGULU= 2 tas twice daily after meals with warm water =for vata and ama pain, especially with stiffness

3) RASNAIRANDADI KASHAYA= 20 ml. with water twice daily before meals = excellent for radiating nerve pain, reduces vata cleanses channels

4) DASHMOOLA HARITAKI AVALEHA= 2 tsp with warm water or milk in morning =great for chronic vata, imbalance constipation, back issues

5) ERANDA SNEHA= 10 ml. with warm milk at bedtime weekly once fr 4 weeks =strong vatahara(pain reducing), mild laxative, clears obstruction

6) BALA TAILA= 10 drops daily in water or milk twice daily after meals =improves nerve strength and immunity

EXTERNAL THERAPY

1) Warm oil massage with KOTTAMCHUKADI TAILA or MAHANARAYAN TAILA daily for 30 minutes

2) Followed by hot towel fomentation

3) RASNAERANDA CHURNA + CASTOR OIL= lepa daily or every alternate days

HOME REMEDIES

-Garlic milk= 2-3 garlic cloves boiled in milk- once daily -castor oil= 1 tsp with warm water once weekly -turmeric milk= helps with inflammation and vata

YOGA AND EXERCISE Avoid forward bending or sudden twisting -bhujangasana -makarasana -shalabhasana -setu bandhasana -viparita karani -supta matsyendrasana -anulom vilom pranayam= 5-10 min daily -bhramari pranayam= calming effect on nerves

FOODS TO EAT -warm, cooked, soft foods -ghee=daily -warm milk with turmeric - moong dal khichdi - cooked vegetables= like pumpkin, bottle gourd, spinach -herbal teas= ginger, cumin, ajwain

AVOID -cold food and drinks -dry, raw food- like salads, dry snacks - excess tea/coffee -sitting too long without movement -sudden jerky movements

LIFESTYLE TIPS -use back support when sitting -sleep on firm mattress - avoid bending forward too much -warm oil massage before bath -walk for 30 min daily -manage stress with pranayam and meditation

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Experiencing left lower back and radiating right leg pain can be challenging and may suggest an underlying issue with sciatica or a muscular imbalance. First, it’s important to sideline any strenuous activities that may exacerbate the discomfort and start focusing on measures that promote healing. An Ayurvedic approach integrates body balance and natural healing modalities.

One key recommendation is to incorporate gentle stretches into your daily routine to alleviate tension and improve flexibility. The Cat-Cow stretch, Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana), and Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) helps in relieving lower back tension and encourage circulation. Perform these stretches in the morning and evening, aiming for light exertion without pain.

Adopt a pacifying diet balancing the Vata dosha, as Vata imbalances are often linked to pain and stiffness. Warm, nourishing foods such as soups and stews, along with spices like turmeric and ginger, are beneficial. These can naturally reduce inflammation. Avoid cold, dry, or hard foods which may aggravate Vata.

Herbal remedies like Ashwagandha, which is known for its pain-relieving properties, can be taken as a daily supplement, provided it aligns with your constitution. A warm massage with Mahanarayan oil can provide significant relief by improving circulation and soothing muscle spasms. Gently apply this oil on the back area daily, preferably in the morning.

Stay hydrated with warm beverages to support joint lubrication and detoxification. Adequate sleep is crucial for recovery; ensure a regular pattern of restful sleep, as the body repairs during this time.

If the pain persists despite these efforts or is accompanied by severe symptoms, it is essential to seek immediate medical advice to rule out underlying conditions. Your safety and overall well-being should never be compromised.

hello k.navya.,

You’re 23, and your symptoms clearly suggest sciatica or lumbar disc irritation especially since the pain begins in the left lower back and radiates to the right leg, worsens with activity, and reduces with rest. This means there’s nerve compression or inflammation likely in the L4-L5/S1 region, even if mild.

In Ayurveda, this is often referred to as Gridhrasi – a Vata vyadhi caused by aggravated Vata dosha compressing the sciatic nerve pathway. The key is to relieve the nerve pressure, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the lower back and core gently over time.

Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks minimum): Yogaraja Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food Trayodashanga Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food Dashamoola Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before meals, twice daily Nirgundi Ras – 10 ml + water, morning and night Maharasnadi Kadha – if kashayam not available

External Treatments (Can Be Done at Home or Ayurvedic Centre): Abhyanga (oil massage) over back and legs using: Mahanarayana Taila or Dhanwantaram Taila (warm it slightly) Nadi Swedana (herbal steam or hot fomentation) after oil massage

If available, Kati Basti therapy for 7 days at a clinic gives excellent relief Apply Eranda (Castor oil) pack on lower back once or twice a week

Pathya (What You Should Do and Eat): Use warm water to drink and bathe Include ghee in your meals to reduce internal dryness Eat soft, warm food: rice, moong dal, methi, drumstick, ginger, garlic Do gentle yoga: Bhujangasana, Makarasana, Setu Bandhasana (supervised) Keep posture straight, avoid lifting weights, sudden twisting, sitting on floor

Apathya (What to Avoid): Cold exposure, fridge water, curd, peas, potato, raw foods Sleeping on very soft mattress or without pillow under knees High impact exercises or long sitting hours

Investigations If Pain Persists: Lumbosacral spine X-ray or MRI – if pain worsens Vitamin D3, B12 – deficiencies can worsen nerve pain ESR, CRP – if any swelling or inflammatory suspicion

If managed early, this can be completely reversed without surgery. Start gentle therapies and follow lifestyle correction now to avoid worsening.

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

The symptoms you’re describing might suggest an imbalance in the vata dosha, which governs movement and nerve function in Ayurveda. The radiating pain you’re experiencing is often associated with a compression or irritation in the spine or the surrounding musculature, such as sciatica.

To begin, focus on balancing your vata. Start by incorporating a warm and nourishing diet. Opt for cooked, warm foods rather than cold or raw options. Consider including sesame oil and spices like ginger and turmeric into your meals as they have warming properties and can help pacify vata.

Practices like gentle stretching and specific yoga asanas may be beneficial. Poses such as Shalabhasana (Locust Pose) and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) can help strengthen the back muscles, improve flexibility, and relieve tension. However, ensure any physical activity is done in a controlled manner, without over-exertion.

Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, can also be useful. Apply the oil in long strokes over the back and limbs in the morning before bathing. This can improve circulation, relieve stiffness, and calm the nervous system.

Herbs such as Ashwagandha or Boswellia may also provide support, but they should be taken after consulting with a qualified practitioner to ensure safe and appropriate usage based on your individual condition.

If the pain persists or worsens, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out conditions that may require immediate medical attention. Always prioritize safety and avoid any activities or treatments that exacerbate the pain.

HELLO K NAVYA,

For your condition- left lower back pain with radiating pain to the right leg - this appears to be a classic presentation of lumbar radiculopathy, possibly due to lumbar disc prolapse (sciatica ) or muscle spasm related nerve compression .

Ayurveda views this under conditions like Gridhrasi (sciatica) or katigraha(low back pain) depending on exact symptoms .

AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS

DOSHA INVOLVEMENT= predominantly vata vyadhi

CONDITIONS -katigraha= lower back stiffness and pain -Gridhrasi= radiating leg pain

TREATMENT PLAN

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SIMHANADA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =relieves stiffness

2)BRIHAT VATA CHINTAMANI RAS= 125 mg once daily with ghee in morning =powerful nerve tonic, pain reliever

3) EKANGAVEER RAS= 250 mg twice daily after meals =radiating leg pain, strengthen nerves

4) VATAGAJANKUSH RAS= 1 tab twice daily after meals =severe radiating pain ,neurological symptoms

5) ERANDA SNEHA= 2 tsp with warm milk at bedtime =helps with vata, reduces stiffness and constipation

6) SAHACHARADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily before meals =excellent for lower limb pain, sciatica and vata disorders

EXTERNAL APPLICATION

1) SAHACHARADI TAILA= oil massage daily followed by hot water fomentation

2) PASTE= rasnadi+dashmoola churna mixed with castor oil warm apply daily for 30 mins

PANCHKARMA ADVISED= if symptoms persist after taking above medications then go for -Basti therapy= most effective for vata disorder -anuvasana basti with sahacharadi taila -niruha basti with dashmoola kwatha

DIET AND LIFESTYLE

- Eat warm, freshly cooked easy to digest foods -use ghee, sesame oil ,garlic, ginger in cooking -stay warm avoid cold exposure -warm water baths with salt -bed rest but not completely immobility

AVOID -cold foods, dry food, refrigerated items -standing or sitting for too long -sudden jerky movements -lifting heavy weights

YOGA ASANA -makarasana -bhujangasana -ardha shalabhasana -setu bandhasana -supta matsyendrasana -pawanmuktasana -marjariasana -tadasana -ananda balasana

Dr. Sarfaraj Mujawar
I am an Ayurvedic consultant with experience working in different setups, each teaching me something new about patient care. I worked for 1 year at Sanjeevini Hospital in Gokak, where I handled OPD consultations, follow-ups, and guided patients through both acute and chronic conditions. It was a busy environment, but it sharpened my ability to make quick yet accurate decisions while keeping treatments rooted in classical Ayurveda. After that, I spent 6 months at Vinayak Hospital in Gottigere, Bengaluru – there the case variety was huge, from lifestyle disorders and joint pain to skin and digestive issues. It helped me adapt treatments to very different patient needs, often combining Panchakarma, diet changes, and herbal medicines into practical plans. Now I’m running my own clinic in Hubballi, Karnataka. Here, I have more freedom to design fully personalized treatment plans and spend extra time understanding a patient’s prakruti, lifestyle, and health history before deciding on the line of management. My approach blends Ayurvedic diagnosis, safe herbal formulations, and where needed, detox or rejuvenation therapies. I focus a lot on patient education too – cause a treatment works best when the person understands why they’re following it. Whether it’s helping someone recover from a stubborn digestive issue, manage chronic joint pain, or improve overall wellness, my goal is always to address the root cause, not just the symptoms. Running my own practice also means building trust with patients and seeing their progress over time, which is the most rewarding part of the work for me.

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. 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.

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 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. 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.

I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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.

I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

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.

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.
