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

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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

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. 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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

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 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 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.

I am someone who got into Ayurveda not just for treating diseases but cuz I always felt drawn to understanding why things go out of balance in the first place. My work’s rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—I’ve spent years studying them, not just memorizing shlokas but really figuring out what they mean in today’s context. At the same time, I also use modern diagnostic stuff where needed, just to get a fuller picture. Pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) is something I rely on a lot—it’s not easy to master but with practice, it kinda tells you what the body’s hiding, even before symptoms scream out loud. I focus mostly on chronic issues… like gut problems, fatigue, hormonal mess, skin disorders, and stress stuff that just doesn’t go away with tablets. I use herbal formulations (mostly customized), Panchakarma when needed—not in a one-size way but actually based on the person’s Prakriti and Vikriti. I also spend a good chunk of time explaining things to patients. Like why you should eat this in winter, or skip curd at night or not mix fruits with milk—little stuff people think doesn’t matter, but actually does in Ayurveda. Over time, I’ve realized people don’t just want relief, they want to understand how their body works again. That’s kinda where I feel most useful. I help patients reconnect with natural rhythms, daily routines, sleep cycles, digestion, seasons—all of it. And ya, it’s slow sometimes. But once things shift internally, you see it show up on the outside too. That’s what keeps me going honestly. Whether it’s stress or sluggish metabolism or just someone feeling “not right” without knowing why—I try to listen deep, go to the root n create a treatment path that’s realistic and sustainable. Not just ideal on paper. Healing, for me, is something we do together, not something I just hand over. I want people to feel heard n understood… and to believe their bodies can heal, with the right support. That’s what Ayurveda is to me—real, ancient, and still totally alive.

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. 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. 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.
