hello anil gajjar, Aapko angle-closure glaucoma hai, jisme aankhon ke andar ka pressure (आंखों का दबाव – intraocular pressure) badh jaata hai. Is pressure ki wajah se aankhon ke peechhe jo optic nerve (दृष्टि तंतु) hota hai, us par nuksaan pahuchta hai. Yehi nerve aankh se dimaag tak signal bhejne ka kaam karti hai, aur agar ye damage ho jaaye to vision dheere-dheere kam hone lagta hai.

Aapka pressure 13–14 bola gaya hai, jo controlled mana jaata hai, lekin optic nerve damage ho chuki hai, isliye sirf pressure control karna kaafi nahi hota humein optic nerve ki raksha bhi karni hoti hai.

(Kaise badhta hai ye rog):

Agar glaucoma ka ilaaj time par aur sahi tareeke se na ho to permanent vision loss (स्थायी दृष्टि हानि) ho sakti hai. Ye rog dheere-dheere badhta hai, isliye har mahine ya 2 mahine mein ek baar field test aur pressure check zaroori hota hai. Aapne bataya ki aapko eye pain aur blurred vision hoti hai, iska matlab hai pressure kabhi kabhi fluctuate karta hoga ya nerve damage zyada ho gaya ho.

Kuch Sawal Jo Humein Jaanna Hoga:

Aapki current dawaiyaan kya hain? (Modern ya Ayurvedic dono) BP (Blood Pressure) ya diabetes (मधुमेह) ka itihaas hai kya? Kya aapki aankhon ki koi surgery pehle hui hai? (Jaise laser iridotomy etc.) Vision abhi kitna hai? Kya dono aankhon mein dikhat hai ya ek mein?

Ayurveda mein is rog ko Adhimantha (अधिमन्थ) kehta hai. Isme Vata-Pitta dosh aankhon mein dushti karte hain jisse aankhon mein sujan (inflammation), jalan aur drishti dhire dhire kam hoti hai. Optic nerve damage ko hum Majja dhatu kshaya (मज्जा धातु क्षय) aur Rasa-Rakta dushti ke roop mein bhi dekhte hain.

Kriyakalpa Aur Ayurvedic Upchar:

Aankhon ke liye special Ayurvedic procedures hote hain jisse Drishti bachi rahe, dard kam ho aur aankhon ka rakshan ho:

Netra Tarpana (नेत्र तर्पण) – aankhon mein ghrit bhar ke rakha jaata hai kuch samay ke liye. Isse aankh ko thandak milti hai aur optic nerve ko poshan milta hai.

Anjanam – Ayurvedic collyrium lagana

Nasya (नाक में औषध डालना) – sir aur aankhon ka pressure balance karta hai

Shirodhara – mastishk aur aankhon ka tension kam karta hai Virechana – Pitta nikaalne ke liye mild purgation diya jaata hai (sirf under supervision)

Ye kriyakalpa procedures Ayurvedic hospital mein doctor ke under hi karna chahiye. Aap Ahmedabad mein ho, to NIA Jaipur ke affiliated ya Gujarat Ayurved University ke centre mein consult kar sakte ho.

Modern Treatment ke Saath Ayurvedic Support Allopathic pressure-control drops continue rakhein (unless advised to stop).

medicines for nerve nourishment jaise:

Saptamrita Lauh – 2 tabs after food twice a day Punarnava Mandur – if mild swelling in eyes or BP fluctuations Mahatriphala Ghrit – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water Pathyadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before food twice daily

Aahar-Vihar (Diet & Lifestyle):

Zyada tel, teekha, fermented, tamasic food avoid karein Din mein 2 bar Triphala boiled water se aankhen dho sakte ho Computer ya mobile screen time kam rakhein Head massage with Mahabhringraj Taila once in 3 days Sona ka time fix rakhein (10 pm max)

Aapke jaise logon ke liye hum vision protect karne par focus karte hain. Glaucoma ka matlab ye nahi ki drishti hamesha chali jaayegi. Agar pressure control mein hai aur aap care lete hain, to aap normal life jee sakte ho. Surgery tabhi consider karte hain jab pressure control na ho ya vision quickly gir raha ho.

Aap chahein to aapki purani reports mujhe bhej sakte hain, main aapko aur sahi guide kar paungi.

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

HELLO ANIL,

Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve of the eye. This nerve sends vision signals from the eye to the brain.

These are different types. You have angle-closure glaucoma, where the fluid (aqueous humor) inside your eye cannot drain properly, leading to pressure build up(IOP). Over time, this damages the optic nerve, affecting vision.

IN EASY UNDERSTANDING LANGUGAE,

Your eye is like a small water tank. It constantly produces a little water(fluid) and drains it out through a small pipe (angle). In angle-closure glaucoma, the pipe is blocked or too narrow , so pressure builds up, damaging the electric wire(optic nerve) that sends signals to your brain

In Ayurveda, this condition is linked to “ADHIMANTHA” caused by -Vata dosha= controls nerves, circulation -Pitta Dosha= controls heat, inflammation -Alochaka pitta= specific to eyes

When these become imbalanced, it leads to pressure, degeneration of the optic nerve and pain

GOALS OF TREATMENT -stop further damage to optic nerve -reduce eye pressure naturally -improve eye nutrition and nerve strength -relieve pain and eye strain -balance dosas-mainly vata and pitta

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =balances pitta, reduces swelling and cleanses toxins, anti-inflammatory

2) SAPTRAMRIT LAUH= 1 tab twice daily with ghee or honey after meals =strengthens optic nerve, nourishes nerves

3) PUNARNAVADI KASHAYA= 15ml +. warm water twice daily before meals =drains excess fluid, reduces pressure and water retention

4) ASHWAGANDHA + BRAHMI CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily in morning and night =mental and nerve strength, calms vata improves nerve health

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =supports eye function, reduces IOP, acts as diuretic

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) GHEE EYE BATH= NETRA TARPANA -a dough dam is made around the eyes and filled with medicated ghee= TRIPHALA GHEE -done for 14 days =nourishes optic nerve, reduces dryness, improves vision

2) NASYA -2 drops of SHAD BINDU TAILA in each nostril every morning =clears toxins from head, improves circulation to the brain and eyes

3) TRIPHALA EYE WASH -boil 1 tsp triphala powder in 1 glass water, strain, cool -wash eyes gently once daily =reduces inflammation, eye strain and clears vision

DIET GUIDELINES

EAT -warm, cooked, easily digestible foods -green vegetables- spinach, methi, drumstick leaves -amla raw or juice daily - cow ghee 1 tsp/day- nourishes nerves -coconut water -carrots, beets- rich in eye- friendly nutrients

AVOID -too spicy, oily, fried foods - fermented items-pickles, vinegar - excessive salt increases pressure -cold drinks, stale food

DAILY HABITS -wake up early before sunrise if possibly -regular bowel movements use mild triphala at night if needed - avoid screen exposure for long hours without breaks - take 5-10 min eye breaks every hour during computer work -use anti-glare sunscreen and proper lighting

EYE EXERCISES(5-10 daily)

1) PALMING= rub palms, gently cup eyes

2) EYE ROTATION= left right, up down, circular movements

3) FOCUS SHIFTING= alternate focus between thumb and distant object

4) TRATAKA= candle gazing only if no pain

PRANAYAM

1) NADI SODHANA= clears blockages(alternate nostril)

2) BHRAMARI= calms nerves, reduces pressure

3) ANULOM VILOM= Balances Vata and pitta

HOME REMEDIES -Tripahal water eye wash daily -amla juice= 20 ml every morning -aloe vera juice= reduces inflammation -1 tsp cow ghee on empty stomach for nerve health -use cold rose water compress for eye strain 5 mins daily

DURATION OF TREATMENT

Acute symptom control= 1-3 months Nerve strengthening and pressure stabilization= 6-12 months -maintenance and prevention= lifelong support with checkup

WHERE TO GET TREATMENT IN AHMEDABAD? -J.S. AYURVEDA MAHAVIDHYALAYA AND P.D. PATEL AYURVEDA HOSPITAL

-AYURVAID HOSPITAL- AHMEDABAD

-SGVP AYURVEDA CENTRA

-DIVINE AYURVEDA

-SATVIK HOSPITAL AYURVEDIC EYE TREATMENT

-ADVAIT AYURVEDA

FINAL ADVICE FOR YOU -your pressure is currently under control 13-14 mmHg- good sign -optic nerve damage is not reversible, but you can protect the remaining vision. -focus on nerve nourishment, eye rest, dosha balance and lifestyle corrections -avoid overworking your eyes on screens- follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds) -Ayurvedic treatment needs patience and consistency

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

नमस्ते अनिल,

ग्लूकोमा एक ऐसी बीमारी है जो आँख की ऑप्टिक तंत्रिका को नुकसान पहुँचाती है। यह तंत्रिका आँख से मस्तिष्क तक दृष्टि संकेत भेजती है।

ये विभिन्न प्रकार के होते हैं। आपको एंगल-क्लोज़र ग्लूकोमा होता है, जिसमें आपकी आँख के अंदर का द्रव (जलीय द्रव) ठीक से नहीं निकल पाता, जिससे दबाव (आईओपी) बन जाता है। समय के साथ, यह ऑप्टिक तंत्रिका को नुकसान पहुँचाता है, जिससे दृष्टि प्रभावित होती है।

आसान भाषा में,

आपकी आँख एक छोटी पानी की टंकी की तरह होती है। यह लगातार थोड़ा पानी (द्रव) बनाती है और उसे एक छोटी नली (एंगल) के माध्यम से बाहर निकालती है। कोण-बंद मोतियाबिंद में, नली अवरुद्ध या बहुत संकरी हो जाती है, जिससे दबाव बढ़ता है और मस्तिष्क को संकेत भेजने वाले विद्युत तार (ऑप्टिक तंत्रिका) को नुकसान पहुँचता है।

आयुर्वेद में, इस स्थिति को “अधिमंथ” से जोड़ा जाता है, जो निम्न कारणों से होता है: -वात दोष = तंत्रिकाओं और परिसंचरण को नियंत्रित करता है -पित्त दोष = ऊष्मा और सूजन को नियंत्रित करता है -आलोचक पित्त = आँखों के लिए विशिष्ट

जब ये असंतुलित हो जाते हैं, तो दबाव, ऑप्टिक तंत्रिका का क्षरण और दर्द होता है।

उपचार के लक्ष्य -ऑप्टिक तंत्रिका को और अधिक क्षति से रोकना -आँखों के दबाव को प्राकृतिक रूप से कम करना -आँखों के पोषण और तंत्रिका शक्ति में सुधार -दर्द और आँखों के तनाव से राहत -दोषों को संतुलित करना - मुख्यतः वात और पित्त

आंतरिक औषधियाँ

1) त्रिफला गुग्गुल = भोजन के बाद दिन में दो बार 2 गोलियाँ =पित्त को संतुलित करता है, सूजन कम करता है और विषाक्त पदार्थों को साफ करता है, सूजनरोधी है

2) सप्तममृत लौ = 1 गोली दो बार प्रतिदिन भोजन के बाद घी या शहद के साथ =नेत्र तंत्रिका को मजबूत करता है, तंत्रिकाओं को पोषण देता है

3) पुनर्नवादि कषाय = 15 मिली +। भोजन से पहले दिन में दो बार गर्म पानी =अतिरिक्त तरल पदार्थ निकालता है, दबाव और जल प्रतिधारण को कम करता है

4) अश्वगंधा + ब्राह्मी कैप्सूल = 1 कैप्सूल दिन में दो बार सुबह और रात में =मानसिक और तंत्रिका शक्ति, वात को शांत करता है, तंत्रिका स्वास्थ्य में सुधार करता है

5) चंद्रप्रभा वटी = भोजन के बाद दिन में दो बार 2 गोलियां =आँखों के कार्य में सहायक, IOP कम करता है, मूत्रवर्धक के रूप में कार्य करता है

बाह्य उपचार

1) घी नेत्र स्नान = नेत्र तर्पण -आँखों के चारों ओर आटे की एक पट्टी बनाई जाती है और उसमें औषधीय घी भरा जाता है = त्रिफला घी -14 दिनों तक किया जाता है =नेत्र तंत्रिका को पोषण देता है, शुष्कता कम करता है, दृष्टि में सुधार करता है

2) नास्य -प्रत्येक नासिका छिद्र में प्रतिदिन सुबह 2 बूँदें षड् बिंदु तेल =सिर से विषाक्त पदार्थों को साफ करता है, मस्तिष्क और आँखों में रक्त संचार में सुधार करता है

3) त्रिफला नेत्र प्रक्षालन -1 छोटा चम्मच उबालें त्रिफला चूर्ण को 1 गिलास पानी में मिलाएँ, छान लें, ठंडा करें -दिन में एक बार आँखों को हल्के हाथों से धोएँ =सूजन, आँखों के तनाव को कम करता है और दृष्टि को बेहतर बनाता है

आहार संबंधी दिशानिर्देश

खाएँ -गर्म, पका हुआ, आसानी से पचने वाला भोजन -हरी सब्ज़ियाँ- पालक, मेथी, सहजन के पत्ते -रोज़ाना कच्चा आंवला या जूस -गाय का घी 1 चम्मच/दिन- नसों को पोषण देता है -नारियल पानी -गाजर, चुकंदर- आँखों के लिए लाभकारी पोषक तत्वों से भरपूर

इनसे बचें -बहुत मसालेदार, तैलीय, तले हुए खाद्य पदार्थ -किण्वित खाद्य पदार्थ-अचार, सिरका -अधिक नमक रक्तचाप बढ़ाता है -ठंडे पेय, बासी भोजन

दैनिक आदतें -हो सके तो सूर्योदय से पहले जल्दी उठें -नियमित मल त्याग करें, ज़रूरत पड़ने पर रात में हल्का त्रिफला लें -बिना ब्रेक के लंबे समय तक स्क्रीन के सामने रहने से बचें -कंप्यूटर पर काम करते समय हर घंटे 5-10 मिनट का ब्रेक लें -एंटी-ग्लेयर सनस्क्रीन और उचित रोशनी का प्रयोग करें

आँखों के व्यायाम (5-10) (रोज़ाना)

1) हथेलियों को रगड़ें = हथेलियों को रगड़ें, आँखों को हल्के से ढकें

2) आँखों का घुमाव = बाएँ-दाएँ, ऊपर-नीचे, गोलाकार गतियाँ

3) ध्यान परिवर्तन = अंगूठे और दूर की वस्तु के बीच बारी-बारी से ध्यान केंद्रित करें

4) त्राटक = मोमबत्ती की रोशनी में केवल तभी देखें जब दर्द न हो

प्राणायाम

1) नाड़ी शोधन = रुकावटों को दूर करता है (नाक के छिद्रों को बारी-बारी से घुमाएँ)

2) भ्रामरी = नसों को शांत करता है, दबाव कम करता है

3) अनुलोम विलोम = वात और पित्त को संतुलित करता है

घरेलू उपचार - त्रिपथल जल से रोज़ाना आँखों को धोएँ -आँवले का रस = 20 मिलीलीटर प्रतिदिन सुबह -एलोवेरा का रस = सूजन कम करता है -तंत्रिकाओं के स्वास्थ्य के लिए खाली पेट 1 चम्मच गाय का घी -आँखों में तनाव के लिए ठंडे गुलाब जल का सेक प्रतिदिन 5 मिनट तक लगाएँ

उपचार की अवधि

तीव्र लक्षण नियंत्रण = 1-3 महीने तंत्रिकाओं को मज़बूत बनाना और दबाव स्थिर करना = 6-12 महीने - रखरखाव और रोकथाम = जाँच के साथ आजीवन सहायता

अहमदाबाद में इलाज कहाँ से करवाएँ? -जे.एस. आयुर्वेद महाविद्यालय और पी.डी. पटेल आयुर्वेद अस्पताल

-आयुर्वेद अस्पताल- अहमदाबाद

-एसजीवीपी आयुर्वेद केंद्र

-दिव्य आयुर्वेद

-सात्विक अस्पताल आयुर्वेदिक नेत्र उपचार

-अद्वैत आयुर्वेद

आपके लिए अंतिम सलाह -आपका रक्तचाप वर्तमान में नियंत्रण में है 13-14 mmHg- अच्छा संकेत -ऑप्टिक तंत्रिका क्षति को ठीक नहीं किया जा सकता, लेकिन आप शेष दृष्टि की रक्षा कर सकते हैं। - तंत्रिका पोषण, आँखों के आराम, दोष संतुलन और जीवनशैली में सुधार पर ध्यान दें - स्क्रीन पर अपनी आँखों पर ज़्यादा ज़ोर देने से बचें- 20-20-20 नियम का पालन करें (हर 20 मिनट में, 20 सेकंड के लिए 20 फ़ीट दूर देखें) - आयुर्वेदिक उपचार में धैर्य और निरंतरता की आवश्यकता होती है

लगातार पालन करें

उम्मीद है यह मददगार साबित होगा

धन्यवाद

હેલો એનિલ,

ગ્લુકોમા એક એવો રોગ છે જે આંખના ઓપ્ટિક ચેતાને નુકસાન પહોંચાડે છે. આ ચેતા આંખમાંથી મગજને દ્રષ્ટિ સંકેતો મોકલે છે.

આ વિવિધ પ્રકારના હોય છે. તમને એંગલ-ક્લોઝર ગ્લુકોમા છે, જ્યાં તમારી આંખની અંદરનો પ્રવાહી (જલીય હ્યુમર) યોગ્ય રીતે બહાર નીકળી શકતો નથી, જેના કારણે દબાણ વધે છે (IOP). સમય જતાં, આ ઓપ્ટિક ચેતાને નુકસાન પહોંચાડે છે, જે દ્રષ્ટિને અસર કરે છે.

સરળ સમજણ ભાષામાં,

તમારી આંખ એક નાની પાણીની ટાંકી જેવી છે. તે સતત થોડું પાણી (પ્રવાહી) ઉત્પન્ન કરે છે અને તેને નાના પાઇપ (એંગલ) દ્વારા બહાર કાઢે છે. એંગલ-ક્લોઝર ગ્લુકોમામાં, નળી અવરોધિત અથવા ખૂબ સાંકડી હોય છે, તેથી દબાણ વધે છે, જે તમારા મગજમાં સંકેતો મોકલતા ઇલેક્ટ્રિક વાયર (ઓપ્ટિક ચેતા) ને નુકસાન પહોંચાડે છે.

આયુર્વેદમાં, આ સ્થિતિ “અધિમંથ” સાથે જોડાયેલી છે. -વાત દોષ= ચેતા, પરિભ્રમણને નિયંત્રિત કરે છે -પિત્ત દોષ= ગરમી, બળતરાને નિયંત્રિત કરે છે -આલોક પિત્ત= આંખો માટે વિશિષ્ટ

જ્યારે આ અસંતુલિત થાય છે, ત્યારે તે દબાણ, ઓપ્ટિક ચેતાનું અધોગતિ અને પીડા તરફ દોરી જાય છે

સારવારના લક્ષ્યો -ઓપ્ટિક ચેતાને વધુ નુકસાન અટકાવો -આંખનું દબાણ કુદરતી રીતે ઓછું કરો -આંખનું પોષણ અને ચેતા શક્તિમાં સુધારો કરો -પીડા અને આંખના તાણમાં રાહત આપો -દોસાને સંતુલિત કરો - મુખ્યત્વે વાત અને પિત્ત

આંતરિક દવાઓ

1) ત્રિફળા ગુગ્ગુલુ= ભોજન પછી દિવસમાં બે વાર 2 ગોળીઓ =પિત્તને સંતુલિત કરે છે, સોજો ઘટાડે છે અને ઝેરી તત્વોને સાફ કરે છે, બળતરા વિરોધી

2) સપ્તરામિત લૌહ= ભોજન પછી દિવસમાં બે વાર ઘી અથવા મધ સાથે 1 ગોળીઓ =મજબૂત બનાવે છે ઓપ્ટિક ચેતા, ચેતાને પોષણ આપે છે

3) પુનર્નવદી કષાય = 15 મિલી +. ભોજન પહેલાં દિવસમાં બે વાર ગરમ પાણી = વધારાનું પ્રવાહી કાઢી નાખે છે, દબાણ ઘટાડે છે અને પાણીની જાળવણી ઘટાડે છે

૪) અશ્વગંધ + બ્રહ્મી કેપ્સ્યુલ્સ= સવારે અને રાત્રે બે વાર 1 કેપ = માનસિક અને ચેતા શક્તિ, વાત શાંત કરે છે ચેતા સ્વાસ્થ્ય સુધારે છે

૫) ચંદ્રપ્રભા વાટી= ભોજન પછી દિવસમાં બે વાર 2 ગોળીઓ = આંખના કાર્યને ટેકો આપે છે, IOP ઘટાડે છે, મૂત્રવર્ધક પદાર્થ તરીકે કાર્ય કરે છે

બાહ્ય ઉપચાર

૧) ઘી આંખ સ્નાન = નેત્ર તર્પણ - આંખોની આસપાસ કણકનો બંધ બનાવવામાં આવે છે અને દવાયુક્ત ઘીથી ભરવામાં આવે છે= ત્રિફળા ઘી - ૧૪ દિવસ સુધી પીવામાં આવે છે = ઓપ્ટિક ચેતાને પોષણ આપે છે, શુષ્કતા ઘટાડે છે, દ્રષ્ટિ સુધારે છે

૨) નશ્ય - દરરોજ સવારે દરેક નસકોરામાં ષડ બિંદુ તૈલાના 2 ટીપાં = માથામાંથી ઝેરી તત્વો સાફ કરે છે, મગજ અને આંખોમાં પરિભ્રમણ સુધારે છે

Managing angle-closure glaucoma effectively involves both conventional treatments and lifestyle changes, which can be supported by Siddha-Ayurvedic practices. With an optic nerve already damage, maintaining eye health is crucial. Here are some practices you might find useful:

First, ensure that you continue with any prescribed treatment or medications from your ophthalmologist; Ayurveda can complement but not replace these measures. To support eye health, consider Triphala wash. Boil Triphala in water, let it cool, and use it to rinse your eyes twice daily. Triphala is known to help with eye issues and may soothe symptoms.

Diet plays a role too. To balance the doshas and strengthen the nerves, focus on including more green leafy vegetables, carrots, and beetroots in your meals, all potential sources of Vitamin A and antioxidants. Ghee can be a beneficial addition due to its calming effect on vata dosha and nourishing quality for body and mind.

Include eye exercises in your routine can also be helpful. Palming (rubbing your hands and placing lightly over closed eyes) helps to ease eye strain. Perform this for few minutes few times a day, especially if working long hours at the computer. Take regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

Ensure you’re not constipated, as vata imbalance can increase pressure in the body. Amla (Indian gooseberry) juice or powder can support digestive health due to its rejuvenating effects.

Finally, regular consultation with an eye specialist is necessary, given your condition’s seriousness. Close monitoring can help manage symptoms and potentially reduce further damage. Always consult your doctor before integrating any new therapy or treatment.

Managing closed angle glaucoma with Ayurvedic principles can offer supportive care, but it is essential to emphasize that continued consultation with an ophthalmologist or medical specialist is critical due to the risk of vision damage. Ayurvedic approach mainly focuses on dietary and lifestyle adjustments along with herbal treatments to support eye health and reduce stress which could exacerbate symptoms.

In Ayurveda, balancing the ‘Pitta’ dosha, which governs eye health, might be beneficial. Start with dietary changes by incorporating cooling and balancing foods. Aim to consume more leafy greens, such as spinach and kale, which are rich in carotenoids and beneficial for eye health. Avoid spicy, fermented, and fried foods which may escalate pitta imbalance. Include amla (Indian gooseberry) in your diet; either fresh or as amla juice, for its high vitamin C and antioxidant properties.

Consider herbal formulations like Triphala, known for its beneficial effects on eye health. You can prepare Triphala eyewash by soaking a teaspoon of Triphala powder overnight in water, strain it in the morning and use it to wash your eyes. However, do ensure this is done with sterile water and with care to prevent contamination.

Practicing Tratak meditation may support relief in eye strain. This involves focusing on a small object or flame to improve concentration and bring tranquility. It’s essential to follow this practice under guidance if you are new to it to prevent additional strain.

From a lifestyle perspective, ensure adequate rest as overworking the eyes could worsen the condition. Regularly schedule short breaks during your workday to reduce stress on your eyes, using the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

Given that your optic nerve is already compromised, working closely with healthcare professionals to monitor eye pressure and maintain vision health is crucial. Vitally important is not substituting ongoing medical treatments with these recommendations. Always discuss any new treatments with your doctor to ensure they accommodate your specific medical situation.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

Dr. Ayush Varma
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.

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

Dr. 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. 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.

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

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

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

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

Dr. Sumi. S
I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.
