HELLO RUTHI,

I’m sorry you’re going through this. From the symptoms you’ve shared- white vaginal discharge(leucorrhea), oral thrush(white coating in the mouth), fatigue, eye puffiness , body heat, stomach pain, heart pain, dark tarry stools, urgency in urination- this appears to be a systemic issue, possibly involving chronic infection, weakened immunity, or even gut/liver dysfunction.

Some of your symptoms- especially dark tarry stool, oral thrush, heart pain and recurrent infections - could indicate serious underlying conditions like -GI bleeding(dark stools=digested blood) -systemic candida infection -liver or kidney dysfunction -autoimmune conditions -anemia or chronic inflammation

PLEASE GET EVALUATED BY A DOCTOR FOR -complete blood count -liver/kidney function tests -stool analysis -blood sugar levels- to rule out diabetes -HIV screening (as chronic oral thrush and recurrent infections are common in immunocompromised states)

AYURVEDICALLY This seems to be tridoshic imbalance, primarily involving -kapha=mucus(white discharge, oral thrush) -pitta= inflammation, heat, heart/stomach pain -vata=weakness, dryness, instability

Ayurveda would categorise these symptoms under -shweta pradara-white discharge -mukha daha/taludaha-oral thrush -ajirna/amla pitta- indigestion-related systemic toxins -Ojas kshaya- low immunity and strength

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

1) DETOX AND DEEPANA-PACHANA(correct digestion and remove toxins)

-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night for gut cleansing and immunity

-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp before meals with warm water =helps acidity, thrush, and bowel movement

-GANDHAK RASAYANA= 250 mg twice daily after meals =anti infective, purifies blood

-SHITOPALADI CHURNA + YASHTIMADHU= 1/2 tsp each, with honey for oral thrush

2) LOCAL MANAGEMENT

FOR WHITE DISCHARGE

VAGINAL WASH= decoction of triphala+neem leaves(lukewarm) only

VAGINAL DOUCHE=under supervision

FOR ORAL THRUSH

GARGLE WITH -triphala kwatha -neem+ yashtimadhu kwatha -warm saline water+turmeric

3) RASAYANA AND STRENGTHENERS

-ASHWAGANDHA LEHYA= 1 tsp with milk at night

-GUDUCHI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water in morning and evening

-SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with warm milk in morning for hormonal balance and vaginal health

-AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for liver/digestion/skin

4)DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS

EAT -warm, light, home-cooked food -moong dal khichdi,cooked vegetables, soups -buttermilk with roasted cumin+rock salt -coconut water, seasonal fruits- avoid banana at night

AVOID -sugar, refined carbs, bakery items they worsen yeast -milk + salt combination -cold foods/drinks -fried/oily/heavy foods -curd at night

5) LIFESTYLE -wake up before sunrise -mild yoga+pranayam daily esp kapalbhati, amolom Vilom -avoid day sleep -keep genital area dry and clean -reduce stress meditation helps restore Ojas

Plese do not rely on home remedies alone- you need a complete clinical diagnosis. This condition appears to have chronic systemic involvement, and infections can spread or worsen if not managed well.

THANK YOU

I believe in treating the individual as a whole, not just the symptoms they present. My approach to healthcare is rooted in the Ayurvedic philosophy that the body, mind, and lifestyle are deeply interconnected. When you come to me for care, I don’t just focus on the surface-level issue—whether it's a headache, skin irritation, or digestive discomfort—I aim to understand the root cause behind it. For example, a recurring headache is never "just" a headache. I take the time to assess your digestion, sleep quality, emotional well-being, and daily habits. I believe that true healing begins when all systems of the body are brought into harmony. That’s why my treatment plans are always personalized—carefully tailored to your constitution, lifestyle, and current health status. I emphasize the importance of diet and routine in maintaining long-term wellness. I often guide my patients through sustainable lifestyle modifications, practical dietary advice, and herbal interventions that are safe, effective, and accessible. My goal is not only to relieve your present discomfort but to improve your overall quality of life—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I value building a trusting and open doctor-patient relationship where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're seeking support for chronic issues or looking to enhance your vitality through preventive care, I offer a compassionate, holistic, and evidence-informed approach that aligns with the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda.

hello Ruthi, You’re just 22, but your body is showing signs of deep internal imbalance that’s been neglected or suppressed for several months. The persistent white discharge, rising body heat, morning eye swelling, white coating inside cheeks, and recurring stomach and heart pain all suggest a Pitta–Kapha aggravation with high Ama (toxin) accumulation, and possible low immunity.

The dark tarry stool could also point toward internal bleeding or liver-related issues and the urgency in urination indicates the urinary system is also affected.

Let me explain simply: Your body’s inner fire (Agni) is not stable digestion is poor, toxins are building up, and fluids are not circulating properly. When Pitta is high, it causes heat, inflammation, and pain (like heart/stomach pain). Kapha, when aggravated, causes mucus, coating in the mouth, discharge, and sluggishness. Together, they create this state of weakness and poor immunity.

Internal Prescription (for 6 weeks): Pushyanuga Churna – 1 tsp with rice water (tandulodaka) twice daily before meals Patolakaturohinyadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before food twice daily Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice a day after meals Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp at night with warm water Drakshadi Kashayam – 10 ml + 40 ml water at bedtime (to reduce heat + improve sleep)

External Care (Shodhana / Supportive Therapies): Yoni Pichu (if discharge is severe): Clean cotton dipped in triphala decoction or yashtimadhu decoction, inserted for 15–20 mins (under supervision if possible) Abhyanga with Balashwagandhadi Taila followed by mild steam – 3 times/week Netra Tarpana (if eye swelling continues) – only at an Ayurvedic clinic

Pathya (What You Should Eat & Do): Take warm, home-cooked meals on time Use cow ghee in meals – 1 tsp twice daily Drink coriander seed water or jeera water daily Eat steamed vegetables like lauki, pumpkin, spinach, and thin moong dal Start your day with 1 tsp turmeric water or amla juice

Apathya (Strictly Avoid): Sour and spicy foods, curd, tamarind Cold drinks, processed/junk food Sugar and bakery items Daytime sleeping and late nights Holding urine or bowel urges

Investigations (If Not Done Recently): CBC + ESR LFT (Liver Function Test) Urine Routine & Culture Stool Occult Blood Test USG Abdomen + Pelvis (if pain continues) Vaginal swab / discharge culture (for persistent white discharge)

This isn’t just about gynecological symptoms — your gut, liver, immunity, and reproductive system are all involved. Don’t worry — this is reversible, but needs consistent herbal support and a reset in your daily habits.

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

Hello ruthi Prevention

To help prevent and treat vaginal discharge:

Keep your genital area clean and dry. Avoid soap and rinse with water only. Sitting in a warm, but not hot, bath may help your symptoms.

Avoid douching. Although many women feel cleaner if they douche after menstruation or intercourse, it may actually worsen vaginal discharge because it removes healthy bacteria lining the vagina that protect against infection.

Eat yogurt with live cultures or take Lactobacillus acidophilus tablets when you are on antibiotics to prevent a yeast infection.

Use condoms to avoid catching or spreading sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Avoid using feminine hygiene sprays, fragrances, or powders in the genital area.

Avoid wearing extremely tight-fitting pants or shorts, which may cause irritation.

Wear cotton underwear or cotton-crotch pantyhose. Avoid underwear made of silk or nylon, because these materials are not very absorbant and restrict air flow. This can increase sweating in the genital area, which can cause irritation.

Use pads and not tampons.

Keep your blood sugar levels under good control if you have diabetes. 1) Pushyanuga Churna-3gm+Pradarantaka Rasa-125mg+Vanga Bhasma-125mg+Spatika Bhasma-500mg+Shuddha Gandhaka-250mg - before food with honey

Simple Remedies

1. Oil Pulling is a safe remedy that cures and prevents diseases. In the morning, on empty stomach, take one tablespoon of sunflower oil and move oil slowly in the mouth as rinsing or swishing. Swishing stimulates the release of enzymes and the toxins out of the blood. The oil should not be swallowed because it has become toxic. When the oil gets thinner and white. If the oil is still yellow, it thoroughly rinsed and mouth should be washed.

2. Rub the teeth & gums with triphala masi (charcoal of Triphala) twice or thrice a day.

3. Rub the teeth with powders of Bakula, vajradanti, rock salt, clove, charcoal or triphala masi.

HELLO RUTHI,

you’re experiencing multiple symptoms that are connected in Ayurveda through imbalances in doshas (especially pitta, kapha, and vata) and weak agni(digestive fire).

YOU HAVE MENTIONED -White discharge(shwetapradar)= A common issue due to infection, hormonal imbalances, or weakness in reproductive organs

-Oral thrush(white coating in mouth)= Fungal infection caused by weakened immunity or high internal heat

-Body heat, fatigue, eye swelling, heart pain, stomach pain= signs of pitta imbalance with some vata issues

-Dark tarry stool= this could point to internal bleeding or excess heat in the stomach or liver

-Frequent urination= suggests possible infection or heat in the urinary system

In Ayurveda, this combination of symptoms indicates -Ama(toxin) buildup due to poor digestion -agni mandya(weak digestion) -pitta+kapha imbalance - low Ojas-immunity and vitality

TREATMENT GOAL -remove toxins -improves digestion-boost agni - balance pitta, kapha, and vata -treat infection-especially fungal -strengthen immunity -rejuvinate reproductive and digestive systems -prevent recurrence by maintaining balance

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey before meals twice daily for 20 days =improves digestion, melts toxins, reduce kapha

6) PUSHYANUG CHURNA= 1 tsp with rice water twice daily after meals for 40 days =treats excessive vaginal discharge

7) PATRANGASAVA=if weakness is severe =20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 2months =rejuvinates uterus, reduces fatigue

8) YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= mixed with honey and apply inside the mouth till symptoms disappear for 1-2 weeks =heals oral mucosa, antifungal

9) KAMADUDHA RAS WITH MUKTA PISHTI= 1 tab twice daily or 15 days =reduces internal heat, acidity, heartburn

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

FOR ORAL THRUSH -gargle with warm triphala decoction twice daily =apply paste of yashtimadhu and honey inside cheeks -Khadiradi vati= chew 1 tab 3 times a day

FOR VAGINAL WHITE DISCHARGE -wash with cool triphala water or decoction of neem leaves -SITZ BATH= soak in warm neem or triphala water for 10 minutes 3 times/wek -turmeric water douche= take warm water add pinch of turmeric and soak one cotton ball and put into vagina for 20-30 minutes

DIET -warm, freshly cooked light food -moog dal ,red rice, barley, khichdi -boiled or steamed vegetables= bottle gourd, ridge gourd, tinda, lauki -spices=cumin, ajwain, fennel, coriander -ghee 1 tsp/day -garlic, ginger, turmeric- natural antifungals -herbal water-jeera or coriander boiled water

AVOID -cold food and drinks -curd, panner, cheese -sweets, chocolates, bakery products -fried and oily food - excess spicy or sour food -coffee and excessive tea - non veg especially during infection

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -wake up by 6:00 AM -drink warm water first thing in the morning - avoid sleeping in the daytime- increases kapha - do self oil massage once or twice a week with warm sesame oil - maintain genital hygiene but avoid harsh soaps - do not suppress natural urges- urination, hunger etc -avoid late nights and screen time after 9 pm - sleep by 10:00 pm regularly

YOGA ASANA= 15-30 minutes -vajrasana= helps digestion -bhujangasana= strengthens uterus -baddha konasana= improves reproductive health -pawanmuktasana= relieves gas, supports gut -paschimottanasana= relieves stress

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances all doshas(5 min) -Sheetali= cools pitta(3-5 min) - Bhramari= calms mind and supports immunity(3-5 min)

HOME REMEDIES

1) AMLA JUICE= 20 ml daily with water, cooling and immune boosting 2) FENUGREEK SEED WATER= soak 1 tsp overnight, boil and drink in morning 3) NEEM LEAVES PASTE= apply on tongue or genital area(antifungal) 4) ALOE VERA GEL= 1 tbsp on empty stomach(heals gut, cools body) 5) 1 tsp TURMERIC + 1/2 tsp HONEY= antifungal, take daily 6) CORIANDER SEED WATER= soak overnight, boil and drink next morning

INVESTIGATIONS YOU SHOULD GET DONE -CBC, ESR, CRP= check infection or inflammation -Blood sugar=rule out diabetes- -HIV test= if repeated oral thrush occurs -Urine routine and culture= to rule out UTI -stool occult blood= to check GI bleeding -pelvic ultrasound= to check uterus, ovaries, cysts -Liver function test= if long term medication or fatigue -Kidney function test= to monitor metabolism

Ayurveda treats the root cause, not just symptoms oral thrush and white discharge are treatable with patience and discipline

DO FOLLOW CONSSITENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

The combination of symptoms you describe suggests that there might be underlying issues that need careful assessment. In Ayurveda, these symptoms may indicate imbalances in the doshas, especially Pitta and Kapha. Let’s address your concerns through Ayurvedic insights.

White discharge can be linked to Kapha imbalance, and managing this involves dietary and lifestyle changes. Focus on reducing Kapha by avoiding heavy, oily, and dairy foods. Incorporate more warming spices like ginger, cumin, and cinnamon into your meals. Ashoka (Saraca asoca) and Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) are traditionally used in Ayurveda for managing leucorrhea and may be beneficial here. Consider taking them as a decoction under an Ayurvedic practitioner’s guidance.

Oral thrush, signified by white coating, indicates possibly aggravation of Kapha and Ama (toxins). Maintaining good oral hygiene with regular tongue scraping and oil pulling can help. Triphala is an excellent Ayurvedic formula that aids in detoxification and may restore the digestive fire (Agni), improving overall digestion.

Hydration is crucial, but avoid cold drinks. Lukewarm water with a pinch of turmeric may help reduce inflammation and discomfort. Heart and stomach pain could indicate deeper issues. An anti-inflammatory diet rich in green vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is advisable. Also, incorporate routine stress-relief practices like meditation or pranayama.

Your symptoms, especially heart pain and dark tarry stools, may be serious signs that should not be ignored. You should seek immediate medical evaluation for these, as they could be related to something more urgent or severe. It is important to ensure that you are getting definitive care and diagnostics to rule out other possible health issues. Always combine Ayurvedic care with necessary medical interventions when dealing with complex or serious symptoms.

Based on the range of symptoms you’re describing — particularly the chronic white discharge, oral thrush symptoms (white coating inside the cheeks and on teeth), body temperature changes, and digestive issues — it seems like there might be an underlying imbalance of pitta and kapha dosha, potentially contributing to an impaired agni (digestive fire) and accumulation of ama (toxins) in your system. However, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions given the presence of heart pain and dark, tarry stool, which could indicate gastrointestinal bleeding or other serious concerns.

For managing the imbalance, here are some steps you might consider:

1. Diet: Focus on a pitta-kapha pacifying diet. This includes consuming foods that are light, dry, and cooling. Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy foods which can exacerbate pitta and kapha. Incorporate bitter and astringent foods such as green leafy vegetables and pomegranate.

2. Herbal Remedies: Neem (Azadirachta indica) can help balance kapha and act as an antifungal. You may take neem tablets or powder as per the recommended dose on the product you choose.

3. Hydration: Maintain adequate hydration with warm or room temperature water. You can add a pinch of turmeric to your water to enhance its cleansing properties.

4. Triphala: This traditional herbal formulation can support digestion and detoxification. Take 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water before bed to aid bowel movements and support overall gut health.

5. Lifestyle: Aim for a routine that balances rest and activity. prioritize regular sleep and stress management techniques such as yoga and pranayama to balance the body’s energy channels (nadis).

6. External Application: For the oral thrush, oil pulling with coconut oil or sesame oil in the morning can be beneficial. Swish the oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes and then spit it out.

Remember, recurrent heart and stomach pain, as well as dark stool, necessitate prompt medical evaluation to exclude immediate threats to health. Always keep open communication with your physician regarding ongoing symptoms and changes in condition.

I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

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