hello keshabhai jumma bhai Maheshwari,

You’re 58 and have been facing anxiety, depression, insomnia, and sexual weakness for 20 years, along with high BP and cholesterol. Long-standing psychiatric medications may help symptoms temporarily but do not always rebuild the nervous system or correct the root imbalance. According to Ayurveda, this condition reflects a chronic Vata imbalance, especially affecting the Manovaha Srotas (mind channels), Majja dhatu (nervous tissue), and Shukra dhatu (reproductive essence).

This leads to disturbed sleep, overthinking, nervous fatigue, and eventually impacts libido, performance, and mental resilience.

Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks):

Manasamitra Vatakam – 1 tablet at bedtime with warm milk Brahmi Ghritam – 1 tsp with warm water in the morning Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with milk at night Saraswatarishta – 20 ml + 20 ml water after lunch and dinner Makardhwaj Vati (Plain) – 1 tablet after breakfast (for stamina and mood) These will help improve mood, reduce anxiety, calm the mind, and improve both sleep and sexual vitality.

External Support:

Abhyanga (Oil massage) – Use Bala Taila or Ksheerabala Taila, warm and apply over whole body 3–4 times a week, especially on spine and feet Shirodhara therapy (if available) – 7 sittings with Brahmi Taila or Ksheerabala oil can calm the nervous system deeply

Diet & Lifestyle Tips:

Eat warm, freshly cooked, easy-to-digest meals Avoid cold food, raw salads, and stimulants like coffee Start the day with 1 tsp cow ghee + warm water Include almonds (soaked), dates, and ghee in diet Avoid excessive mobile/TV exposure before sleep Sleep by 10.30 PM – maintain strict routine Practice Bhramari pranayama and Yoga Nidra daily at night

Investigations: Vitamin B12 Vitamin D3 Serum Testosterone HbA1c (to check blood sugar status) Lipid profile TSH

With proper support, you can regain mental clarity, improve sleep, balance moods, and restore natural vitality. Vata disorders need gentle but regular attention Ayurvedic care is particularly effective in chronic emotional and nervous system issues.

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

I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy.

HELLO KESHABHAI JI,

You’re experiencing: -INSOMNIA= taking 3-4 hours to fall asleep -ANXIETY= worry, tension , racing thoughts -DEPPRESSION

These symptoms are not separate problems. They’re all connected and arise mainly from an imbalance in your vata dosha, which governs nervous system, thoughts, movement and sleep.

When vata becomes excessive, you feel -mentally overactive or restless -anxious and tense -unable to calm the mind or body -weak digestion -sleep becomes light, delayed or disturbed

WHY THIS HAPPENS? Imagine your mind like a lake. When the wind(vata) is strong, the water becomes wavy and disturbed.you can’t see clearly or rest. This is what’s happening in your mind and nervous system.

CAUSES OF INCREASED VATA IN MODERN LIFE- -irregular sleep and food times -too much phone/computer use, especially at night -excessive thinking, worrying, multitasking -skipping meals or eating dry, cold, spicy foods -lack of grounding activities like nature, rest and silence

GOAL OF TREATMENT -balance vata -calm the nervous system -restore natural sleep rhythm -improve digestion and mental clarity

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) MANAS MITRA VATAKAM -1 tab twice daily with meals after food for 6-8 weeks = a powerful nervine tonic. calms the mind, improves memory, reduces anxiety, and promotes restful sleep. balances vata and pitta in the brain. often used in cases off insomnia, mental stress and even epilepsy.

2) SARASWATARISHTA - 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 3 months =improves memory, focus, and clarity of mind. reduces anxiety and support long-term mental stability

3) ASHWAGANDHARISHTA - 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food for 6-12 weeks =tonic for nerves , promotes energy and reduces stress-induced fatigue. supports sleep. balances vata.

4) KALYANAKA GHRITA -1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk for 6-8 weeks =enhances memory, intelligence, releievs insomnia, nourishes the nervous system.

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI - 1 tab twice daily after meals for 1 month =mild sedative effect, support calmness and reduce psychosomatic tension. helps with fatigue and sleep regulation

TOTAL DURATION -start with a minimum 6-8 weeks -continue saraswatarishta or kalyanaka ghrita longer for chronic anxiety, memory issues

TAPERING OFF once sleep stabilises -reduce kalayanaka ghrita to alternate days -continue saraswatarishta + healthy routine -maintain yoga and breathing exercises

A regular daily routine is medicine itself

6:00- 6:30 am= wake up, splash cool water on eyes 6:30-7:00 am= empty bowel- drink warm water to help 7:00- 7:30 am= light walk in fresh air and slow yoga 8:00 am= warm breakfast 12:30 pm= lunch (main meal of the day) 4:00 pm= herbal tea or light snack- no caffeine 6:30- 7:00 pm= light dinner 8:00 pm= relax- no phone/laptop after this 9:00 pm= warm bath or foot soak with rock salt 9:30 pm= deep breathing, then lie down to sleep

DIET :- Your food should be -warm, soft, well cooked -light, oily, grounding -mild in spices- not too pungent or cold -easy to digest

EAT MORE OF -ghee- 1 tsp daily with rice or roti -khichdi-rice+moong dal with ghee -milk with a pinch of nutmeg at night -stamed or sautéed vegetables -dates and soaked almonds -herbal teas- ginger, tulsi, chamomile- avoid caffeine

AVOID -cold foods or drinks -raw salads at night -leftover or packaged food -caffeine soft drinks -spicy chutney, pickles, fried foods

EAT YOUR MEALS AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY

YOGA AND MOVEMENT movement helps ground vata, but is must be gentle calming not intense.

MORNING YOGA- 30 MIN DAILY -tadasana- improves focus -vrikshasana- balances nervous system -setu band hasana- calms the mind -balasana-reduces anxiety -viparita karani- deep relaxation

PRANAYAM breathing calms your thoughts and resets the nervous system

DO THESE BEFORE SLEEP OR WHEN ANXIOUS -ANULOM VILOM= 5-7 mins, balances left and right brain, calms thoughts -BHRAMARI= 3-5 min, deeply calming for anxiety, promotes sleep -CHANDRA BHEDANA- 5 min, cools the mind and prepares for sleep

SIT COMFORTABLY. DO SLOWLY, SOFT BREATHING. DON’T STRAIN

NIGHT ROUTINE FOR BETTER SLEEP -warm bath or foot soak before bed -apply sesame or almond oil on soles of feet and temples on head -avoid phone or tv 1 hour before sleep -read something calming -keep the room dark and quite

TIPS FOR ANXIETY , DEPRESSION, INSOMNIA -practice mindfullness- stay with what you’re doing- avoid multitasking -avoid late night thinking or big decisions at night -talk to someone or journal your thoughts to empty the mind -take breaks from screens and noise

DON’T CHASE SLEEP. CALM YOUR MIND AND BODY- SLEEP WILL COME NATURALLY

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

For addressing issues of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and sexual problems from an Ayurvedic perspective, coupled with existing treatments, consider a holistic approach. Given your age, weight, and height, it’s important to focus on balancing Vata dosha, since imbalance here may contribute to such issues. Here’s what you can do:

Diet is crucial. Favor warm, cooked foods and avoid cold, raw, or dry foods that can aggravate Vata. Include ghee in your meals for its nourishing properties. Focus on grounding meals; rice, warm non-spicy vegetable soups, and stews are beneficial. Regularity in meals supports digestive health, which Ayurveda links with mental health.

For anxiety and stress reduction, Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can be effective. These herbs help calm the mind, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Brahmi is known for its anxiety-reducing properties. You may take it as a powder, one teaspoon with warm water or milk in the morning and evening.

Sleep can improve by establishing a routine. Aim to go to bed before 10 PM, as natural body rhythms are crucial. Applying warm sesame oil to the feet before sleep is a time-tested remedy. It soothes the nervous system, encourages sleep, and reduces insomnia signs.

Practicing mindfulness, meditation or yoga daily can be very beneficial. These practices cut down stress levels, improve focus, and can positively affect mood disorders. Try to allocate at least 20 minutes a day to simple meditative practices like focusing on breathing.

About sexual health, Mucuna Pruriens helps to support libido and combat depression and anxiety naturally. Consuming half teaspoon of the powder mixed with warm milk before bedtime might be beneficial.

Always discuss with your current healthcare provider before adding any new treatments, especially considering your ongoing psychiatric treatment and medication like Rousosun and BP management. Safety and a tailored approach are paramount. If any symptoms worsen or don’t improve, reevaluate with a healthcare professional.

Addressing anxiety, depression, insomnia, and sexual problems requires a holistic approach, considering your age and ongoing conditions. The foundational principles of Siddha-Ayurveda focus on balancing the doshas – in your case, likely a Vata and Pitta imbalance may be influencing these symptoms.

First, for anxiety and depression, incorporate Vata-pacifying foods like warm, cooked meals with grounding spices like cumin, and fennel. Regular Abhyanga (self-oil massage) with sesame oil can help soothe the nervous system. Incorporate Ashwagandha powder with warm milk at night, which helps stabilize mood and supports restful sleep.

Regarding insomnia, establishing a calming evening routine is crucial. Consider a decoction of Brahmi and Shankhapushpi leaves steeped in boiling water, consumed before bed to encourage relaxation and promote sleep. Avoid caffeine and stimulants late in the day.

To address sexual health, consider herbs like Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens) and Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) which are known to support vitality and help with libido. These should be taken in powdered form with warm milk daily.

It’s vital you consult with your healthcare provider regarding any new supplements, especially due to ongoing psychiatric treatment and medication. They can interact with prescribed medications. Regular practice of Pranayama can help in balancing overall mental health; prioritize techniques that calm the mind, like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing).

Monitor blood pressure and continue taking your prescribed medication for cholesterol as advised by your allopathic doctor. Both Siddha-Ayurveda and contemporary treatments can coexist, ensuring a comprehensive approach to wellbeing without discontinuing essential medication. If symptoms persist or deteriorate, seek immediate attention from a healthcare professional.

1) shirodhara -best choice for anxiety , fear and racing thoughts - warm herbal oil like chandanabala lakshadi oil is poured continuously on the forehead -BENEFITS= calms nervous system, improves sleep, balances vata and pitta

2) FULL BODY OIL MASSAGE + HERBAL STEAM -uses calming oil like bala oil or ksheerbala oil =reduces vata, relieves muscle tension, improves circulation

3) NASYA-nasal administration of medicated oils -useful for calming the mind nd treating mental disturbances -oils like shadbindutaila is used =helps directly stimulate the brain centres through nasal nerves

4) BASTI(medicated enema)-especially Niruha and Anuvasana basti - very effective In chronic vata imbalance -use medicated decoction and oils like dashmoola kwatha, bala taila =helps in mental clarity and overall vata pacification

NOTE= this all procedures should be done under ayurvedic supervision

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

-BRAHMI GHRITA= 1 tsp with milk in morning = improves memory, calms the mind

-MANASAMITRA VATAKAM=1 tab twice daily after meals = excellent for depression and insomnia

1) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 500mg twice daily with warm milk =adaptogenic, reduces cortisol, good for blood pressure too

2) JATAMANSI CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk at night =sedative and calming, especially good for anxiety and restlessness

3) TAGARA CAPSULES= 1 cap at night =excellent nervine tonic cures insomnia

DIET AND LIFESTYLE GUIDANCE

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
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.

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. 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. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

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