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

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

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. 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. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

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. 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. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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.

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. 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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.
