hello pihu, You’re experiencing frequent periods (polymenorrhea) along with severe breast pain, vomiting, and body aches this strongly suggests hormonal imbalance, likely due to aggravated Apana Vata and Pitta dosha, possibly linked with deeper imbalances like Rajodushti (disturbed menstruation due to dosha vitiation), as per Ayurveda. Since your gynecologist also found your results unsatisfactory and the pattern is persisting despite regular monitoring, it’s time to shift the approach from just symptom management to root-level balancing.

Your body is undergoing repeated menstrual triggers because of uncoordinated hormonal signaling. This causes excessive bleeding or spotting, nausea, mastalgia (breast pain), vomiting, and fatigue. The cycle isn’t stabilizing because your hormones, digestion (agni), and mental balance are not aligned. This condition is known in Ayurveda under Asrigdara or Raktapradara when excessive or frequent bleeding happens, or Rajakshaya when irregular and painful cycles occur.

Internal Medicines (Minimum 6–8 weeks) Sukumara Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before food, morning and evening Ashokarishta – 20 ml + 20 ml water after meals twice daily Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets after food, twice daily Shatavari Churna – ½ tsp with milk at night Praval Panchamrut Ras – 1 tab twice daily (for breast pain and vomiting) Kamdudha Ras (Moti yukta) – 1 tab during vomiting or extreme heat

Shodhana Karma (External Therapies if possible) Abhyanga (oil massage) with Dhanwantaram taila or Balashwagandhadi taila over lower back and abdomen – 3 times/week Bashpa Sweda (herbal steam) – for relaxing body pain Matra Basti with Narayana taila or Sukumara ghrita – once daily for 5–7 days (under supervision)

Pathya (What You Should Do) Begin your day with 1 tsp cow ghee + warm water Eat only warm, fresh, home-cooked meals – no leftovers Include beetroot, methi leaves, moong dal, pumpkin, lauki in meals Drink fennel + coriander seed tea daily Practice Bhramari pranayama + 5 mins meditation daily Rest adequately during periods – don’t push your body too much

Apathya ( what u should avoid strictly ) Cold water, fridge foods, curd Tea/coffee on empty stomach Fried, fermented, packaged foods Long fasting, skipping meals Overuse of phones and late-night sleeping Stress, excessive travel, and physical strain during periods

Investigations to Confirm Pelvic USG (check for ovarian cysts, fibroids, PCOS) TSH, Prolactin, LH, FSH Serum Estrogen, Progesterone CBC Vitamin D3, B12 USG breast (if pain persists)

This condition is very much treatable in Ayurveda. But it requires regularity, supportive food habits, and mental rest. You’re only 20s, and your body is still receptive. With the right herbs and diet, your cycles can normalize and pain will gradually reduce. If needed, go for an in-clinic Panchakarma program for faster results.

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

HELLO PIHU,

You’re going through a difficult time with your menstrual health. Based on your description- irregular periods (three times in two months), intense stomach and breast pain, vomiting, and full-body pain- it’s clear your symptoms are significantly affecting your quality of life.

You mentioned that you’ve been under gynaecological care since November 2024, but have not had sustained relief.

YOU ARE EXPERIENCING -irregular periods - 3 times in 2 months -severe stomach pain during periods - breast pain that becomes very hard -vomiting and whole body pain

In simple words Your menstrual cycle is out of balance, and your body is reacting with pain, inflammation, and hormonal disturbances

Your symptoms shows a disturbed balance of two doshas in body - VATA DOSHA= controls movements lik periods and nerve signs-> when imbalanced, causes irregular timing, cramps, body pain

-PITTA DOSHA= controls heat, hormones, digestion-> when imbalanced causes breast pain, vomiting, irritability, inflammation

Also, your digestive fire(agni) may be weak, which creates Ama(toxins), further disturbing hormone levels and cycle timing

GOAL OF TREATMENT SHOULD BE -correct menstrual cycle regularity -reduce pain and inflammation - strengthen hormonal balance - remove toxins - rejuvinate uterus and reproductive system - improves digestion, stress and immunity

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml. with equal water twice daily after meals for 3 months =regulates menstrual flow, reduces cramps and breast pain

2) SHATAVARI GRANULES= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily in morning and night for 3 months =balances female hormones, reduces inflammation , improves ovary function

3) DASHMOOLARISHTA= 20 ml with water twice daily after meals for 2 months =for full body pain, fatigue, inflammation

4) SUKUMAR GHRITA= 1 tsp on empty stomach with warm water or milk for 2 months =tones uterus, reduces period pain, improves digestion

5) KUMARYASAVA= 15ml with water twice daily after meals for 3 months =for vomiting,wea digestion, hormonal imbalance

DIET PLAN

FOODS TO INCLUDE

1) WHOLE GRAINS -millets= foxtail, barnyard, kodo, little millet- regulate insulin and reduce fat -quinoa, amaranth, red/brown rice -rolled oats(not instant)

2) VEGETABLES -focus on bitter, pungent, and astringent food -bitter gourd, drumstick, methi -cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, ash gourd -avoid raw salads, cook lightly and digestive spices

3) FRUITS(LOW GLYCEMIC) -amla=fresh or churna -pomegrante -apples, pears, papaya, berries

4) PROTEINS -Plant based= Moong dal, massor dal, horse gram, sprouted lentils -Animal based (if non veg)= boiled eggs, grilled fish(2 times/week)

5) HEALTHY FATS -cold pressed sesame oil -ghee=1 tsp/day -flax seed oil -seeds= flax, chia, pumpkin seeds- support estrogen balance

6) HERBS AND SPICES -turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, ajwian, -black pepper+ ginger

FOODS TO AVOID -cold and raw foods like smoothies, raws salads - sugar and white bread=causes weight gain and acne -fried or packaged foods= increases toxins -milk,panner,cheese= can make cysts worse -stress and late night= disrupts hormones

LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR DEEP HEALING

1) DAILY RHYTHM -wake up before 7 am= sets hormonal rhythm -hydration=warm water with lemon+pinch of turmeric or methi seeds water(soaked overnight) -meal timing= eat meals at regular intervals; no skipping -sleep= sleep by 10-10:30 pm to optimise melatonin and cortisol balance -avoid excessive screen time, especially before sleep

DETOX PRACTICES TO FOLLOW these helps removes toxins -Triphala churna= 1 tsp at night with warm water -CASTOR OIL=montly one 10 ml in milk at night -Self oil massage= sesame oil daily before shower -TAKRA- buttermilk spiced with cumin and ginger daily after lunch

YOGA AND MOVEMENT

BEST YOGA ASANAS -malasana= opens pelvic region -baddha konasana= improves circulation to ovaries -Bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs -setu bandhasana= balances thyroid and pelvic hormones -Apanasana= relieves cramps -suryanamskar= 5-7 rounds

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones, calms mind - bhramari= reduces anxiety and supports pitutary -kapalbhati= light version, support metabolism

avoid= intense workouts during periods. Gentle stretching or walking is enough

HOME REMEDIES

1) CUMIN + FENNEL + CORIANDER TEA =supports digestion, reduces bloating and period pain

2) WARM CASTOR OIL MASSAGE ON LOWER ABDOMEN -apply before bath to reduce cramps

3) ROASTED SESAME + JAGGERY =eat 1 tsp daily during second half of cycle to regulate hormones

INVESTIGATIONS(if not already done) -Pelvic ultrasound= to check for PCOS, fibroids, ovarian cycle -Thyroid tst= imbalances can cause period issues -Hormonal panel= FSH, PROLACTINE, ESTROGEN , PROGESTERONE -CBC,VITAMIN D, B12

Your symptoms are serious, but treatable with consistent care -ayurveda works deeply but need time , patience and discipline -You must balance diet, lifestyle , medications and mental health together -make you body and uterus stronger, not just manage pain or periods temporarily

DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3 MONTHS

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Your situation seems to relate to some hormonal imbalances, or perhaps an underlying condition affecting your menstrual cycle. Ayurveda emphasizes balancing doshas to address issues like these, particularly focusing on Vata and Pitta dosha that often contribute to menstrual irregularities and associated symptoms.

First, consider your daily routine. Irregular sleep, stress, and dietary habits can aggravate Vata, leading to erratic period cycles and pain. Incorporate a routine that includes consistent waking and sleeping hours. Engage in calming activities like yoga and pranayama to help stabilize both your physical and mental state. Breathing exercises, particularly anulom vilom, can be very effective in calming the mind and reducing stress, aiding in hormonal balance.

Diet is another crucial aspect. Aim for warm, freshly-cooked meals. Include spices like turmeric, fennel, cumin, and hing to enhance digestion and reduce bloating. Avoid excessively cold, spicy, or processed foods which could aggravate Pitta, potentially intensifying symptoms like breast tenderness and stomach discomfort.

Herbal remedies are also beneficial. Ashoka (Saraca asoca) and Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) are renowned in Ayurveda for supporting menstrual health. They are often used to balance hormones and reduce menstrual pain. You might consider these as supplements, but it’s essential to discuss their use with an Ayurvedic practitioner or your healthcare provider to ensure they fit your specific needs.

In terms of lifestyle, ensure adequate hydration—but sip warm water, which aids digestion and soothes aggravated Vata and Kapha. Abhyanga, or self-massage with sesam or coconut oil, can also provide pain relief and reduce stress by calming the nervous system.

However, given your recurrent, severe symptoms, I highly recommend continuing your consultations with a gynecologist or seeking a second opinion if you haven’t already. Persistent or severe symptoms warrant careful medical attention to rule out any serious underlying conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Always follow up any severe pain or ongoing menstrual issues with appropriate medical guidance to ensure your safety and health.

Irregular menstruation with your symptoms could be due to an imbalance in your doshas, likely involving pitta and vata disturbances. In Siddha-Ayurvedic understanding, this might suggest an issue with increased heat and circulation that disrupts hormonal regulation. It’s critical to consider this in the context of the seven dhatus, or tissues, and their balance in the body. Sattva, rajas, and tamas—relating to your mental state—might be influencing your condition as well.

First, limit or avoid foods that aggravate pitta, like spicy, salty, and sour foods. Focus more on cooling and soothing foods such as dairy, cucumber, and ripe bananas. Make sure your foods are freshly cooked and warm, as they pacify vata.

Incorporate Tridoshic herbal formulations that balance doshas like Ashoka (Saraca asoca), Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), and Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa). These assist in stabilizing hormones and support reproductive health. Take these under the guidance of a trained practitioner.

For immediate relief from pain and vomiting, try drinking a decoction of ginger and mint. This can help soothe digestive issues and alleviate nausea. For breast pain, using a warm sesame oil massage can offer some relief.

Regularly practice pranayama to support energy flow and calm your nervous system, which helps in managing stress—often a contributor to irregular periods. Engage in gentle yoga postures such as Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) to improve circulation and reduce pain.

Since symptoms persist, and the consistency of the issue is troubled, maintaining a close relationship with your healthcare provider is crucial to monitor any necessary medical interventions. If symptoms escalate, particularly if related to excessive bleeding or severe pain, consult your gynecologist without delay. Safety and timely care should always be your priority while pursuing Ayurvedic remedies alongside modern treatments.

HELLO PIHU,

Thank you for sharing your concern- it sounds like you’ve been going through a lot. Irregular periods with intense pain, breast tenderness, vomiting, and body aches can indicate hormonal imbalance or underlying gynaecological conditions.

In Ayurveda, menstrual irregularities are commonly due to dosha imbalance, especially vata and pitta. Your symptoms- irregular cycles, pain, vomiting, breast tenderness- suggest pitta-vata dushti (aggravation)

PROBABLE AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS -Artava dushti= disorders of menstruation -Pajah krichra= painful or difficult menstruation -Possible involvement of Amla pitta if vomiting and acidity are prominent

HERBAL MEDICINES

1) Kumaryasava= 15 ml with water twice daily after meals =uterine tonic and balances hormones

2) Ashokarishta= 20 ml with water twice daily after meals =regulates periods, reduces bleeding

3) Punarnava mandur= 1 tab twice daily after meals =relieves swelling, supports detox

4) Shatavari capsules= 1 cap with warm milk at night =balances hormones, supports reproductive health

5) Pradaranashak churna= 1 tsp twice daily with ghee =controls irregular, heavy or painful menses

DIET GUIDELINES -favour cooling and calming foods= moong dal, rice, coconut water, pomegranate, pumpkin -Avoid spicy, oily, fermented, and junk foods -Reduce tea/coffee, carbonated drinks -Include ghee in small amounts- good for hormonal balance -Hydration is key- warm water is preferable

LIFESTYLE GUIDELINES - regular routine= sleep early, wake early -gentle yoga and pranayam, especially -baddhakonasana -supta baddha konasana -Anulom vilom -avoid excessive physical strain or emotional stresss during menses

4) PANCHAKARMA (if condition persist) -virechana=for clearing pitta -basti therapy= if vata is deeply aggravated

HOME REMEDIES -fenugreek seeds tea= soak 1 tsp overnight boil in morning and drink -aloe vera juice= 1 tbsp with pinch of turmeric -castor oil pack on lower abdomen-reduces pain and inflammation

If you develop- -very heavy bleeding soaking pads every 1-2 hours -severe vomiting with dehydration -missed periods for more than 2 months not due to pregnancy -breast lumps or nipple discharge

then go for medical emergency

Ayurveda works gradually but deeply, consistency is key

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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 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.

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. 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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

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

Dr. 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.
