What to do to reduce Constipation, Gas, acid reflux and improve gut health - #26221

Madhavi

I was having constipation from last 5 years. I used to go to motion once in 3-4 days, but never felt pain, only gas issues and acid reflux. I went to doctor and was using triphala and my gut improved a lot. But lately i observed my stomach feels cold compared to rest of the body, especially after eating food. Is this normal or is there any serious condition underlying that we need to take care of. Please suggest. Thank you.

Age: 52
Chronic illnesses: pollen allergies, cholestrol. Actually my constipation issues started along with my menopause phase, just to let you know.

I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

1.Eranda Bhrishta haritaki-1 tsf or Shaddharana Churna-1 Tsf - before food with warm milk

2.Sukumara Ghrita-20ml+ Yava Kshara 500mg + Saindhava 500mg - after food with warm water 2 times a day

Diet and Lifestyle:

Pathya

Take 500ml of water early morning and walk for 10 minutes to relieve gas and stimulate Vata to induce urge to pass stool.

Eating freshly cooked food is helpful. Spices like cumin seeds, coriander, turmeric powder, fennel and asafetida are good as they make the food easily digestive. Proper chewing of food is very important. Take plenty of leafy vegetables and salads. Drinking a glass of warm milk at the time of going to bed helps in evacuation, the next morning. In case of severe constipation, mixing two tea spoonful of castor oil in the milk is very helpful.

Whole grain bread can be taken. Unpolished rice can be taken moderately.

Drink a glass of water upon waking, just after visiting bathroom.

Dry fruits like raisins, dates or figs to be soaked overnight and eaten in the morning.

Include more fruits in your daily diet helps (grapes-lemon-apples-

banana-oranges, etc.)

Eat steamed fresh vegetables.

Green leafy veggies may be balanced for Vayu doshas by cooking with ginger, cumin, coriander and asafetida.

Eating papaya before or after meals is helpful in relieving constipation.

Regular physical exercise is also important for having clear bowels. One should try to have relaxed mind, free from anxiety, stress, etc.

Apathya

Pasteurized milk.

Cooked eggs.

Overcooked Meats.

Refined starch.

Avoid eating lot of spices, fried food, frozen food and food/drinks with preservatives, don’t suppress natural urges.

I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief.

Sure Dr. I did have previous years physical reports. I will be out of town this weekend. I will send shortly after i come back. Thank you, much appreciated.

Namaste MADHAVI , and thank you for explaining your concern clearly, what you’re describing long-standing constipation, cold sensation in the stomach after eating, gas, and acid reflux especially starting around menopause, strongly suggests a Vata-Kapha imbalance with possible weakening of Jatharagni (digestive fire). This is quite common in the post-menopausal phase, where hormonal changes tend to cool the system, reduce metabolism, and disturb gut rhythm.

Why You Feel Cold in the Abdomen After Eating,This “cold stomach” feeling, especially after meals, likely points to- Weak digestive fire (manda agni) food is not digested properly, leading to a sensation of internal “coolness” or sluggishness. Excess Vata and Kapha in the abdominal area due to irregular elimination, dryness from menopause, and lack of internal warmth. You might also be eating food that is either too cold, heavy, or not in sync with your current prakriti and age.

Is It Serious? Not dangerous in an acute sense, but if left uncorrected, it can slowly lead to-

Malabsorption of nutrients Weight loss or gain Joint issues or dry skin Persistent bloating, fatigue, or even more serious gut disorders

Internal medications – 4 to 6 weeks:

Hingwashtak Churna – ½ tsp with warm water after both meals Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (continue as you were) Agni Tundi Vati – 1 tablet before meals, twice daily (for 10–15 days) Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with warm milk at bedtime (to balance Vata)

some Diet and Lifestyle Suggestions:

Always eat freshly prepared warm food. Avoid raw salads, cold milk, curd, or refrigerated items. Add ginger, ajwain, jeera, and ghee in cooking. Drink warm jeera-ajwain water 2–3 times a day. Avoid eating fruits with meals. Don’t skip meals and try to eat at the same time daily.

Simple Home Remedy what you can follow is Boil 1 tsp of dry ginger, jeera, and ajwain in 1 glass of water. Reduce to half. Sip this warm water after meals, especially lunch.

External Therapy:

You can apply warm castor oil or sesame oil with 1 pinch of salt to your abdomen and lower back 3 times a week. Apply a hot water bag for 10 minutes afterward. It improves digestion and warms the colon.

This is not a serious condition right now, but it’s a signal from your body asking for support. With regular warm, nourishing food and a few internal medicines, you’ll regain digestive balance and remove this “coldness” and sluggishness from your system gently.

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

Thank you for your Advice and brief explanation Doctor. Reading your suggestions I felt confidence that you understood my problem. Will try to incorporate your suggestions in my diet and lifestyle. Also, I have previous years health physical reports. Can I send to you for review. Just wanted to let you know my other body symptoms, so that you get idea of my body current condition. 1) I see my thyroid been kind of fluctuating a lot last few years. But doctors didn’t suggested any medication for it. By the time I take another test, it keeps on changing. 2) And also currently I have little sinus issues, sometimes ear pain due to that, but not constant. 3) Also I have disc prolapse at L5-S1, which causes leg numbness, tingling, sciatic nerve pressure sometimes. I think this issue also happened 5 years ago, but i didn’t understand its mild symptoms than. I am currently going for Chiropractor and my nerve symptoms are almost gone. Currently my lifestyle is walking and doing house works, and being active, but not lifting any weights or bending.

I hope i am not overwhelming you. Thank you for your time for going through my mail. Really appreciate for your time, response and suggestions. Regards, Madhavi

Of course, Madhavi. Thank you for sharing everything it helps me understand your overall condition much better. Don’t worry, you’re not overwhelming me at all. It’s actually good that you’re noticing these patterns in your body and bringing them up now. Your thyroid fluctuations might be linked to deeper imbalances in metabolism or stress-related changes, especially since no medication has been advised yet. Sinus and ear discomfort could be seasonal or even aggravated by gut-related issues or low immunity we’ll look into that gently. As for your L5-S1 disc prolapse, I’m glad you’re already under chiropractic care and feeling better. Continue with mild activity, avoid bending/lifting, and keep the spine supported. Once I see your previous reports, I’ll go over them calmly and guide you step-by-step with what to focus on whether dietary changes, internal medicines, or small therapies. You’re doing the right thing by being observant and proactive. We’ll take this one step at a time, no pressure. Just stay in touch, and I’ll help you sort it out patiently. thank you!

I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions.

Hello, If my understanding is right with the use of triphala your gut has become better. So please continue the same. I don’t think feeling cold in the stomach is of serious concern. To make your gut bit more better in terms of gas,acid reflux and constipation: 1. Start light massage on the stomach with castor oil everyday for 5 minutes in clockwise and anticlockwise direction when the stomach is empty. 2. Start using boiled warm water (add ajwain/jeera while boiling the water. 3. Start doing yoga and praanayama. 4. Avoid all refrigerated-processed-deep fried food in your diet. 5. Eat in time and chew the food properly. Take care. Kind Regards.

Namaste Doctor,

              I don't have any weight loss, but had gained lots of hip body mass due to constipation. But due to following Mantenna gari diet sometimes, i am maintaining weight better. 
     I don't have abdomen pain. I sensed very few times, like 3-4 times pain in past year.
     Yes, I don't have any appetite. 
      I was also having L5-S1 disc prolapse issue, along with constipation from past 5 years. I am going to chiro adjustments for this issue. I am taking calcium, glucosamine, vitamin d tablets for this.
      Also I have sinus issue, will get mucus in the mornings and have sometimes ear pain, which goes of in 1-2 day on its own. Not taking any medications for this.
       My bowel movement is not good. Even though I take lots of fiber food, eat health stuff, fruits, etc..i am not getting motion daily. So, I am taking Zandu Nityam tablets at night. After i started taking tablet, i have no problem in my bowel movement. 
      With all my menopause  and other issues i am trying to resolve, I observed lately that my stomach is getting cold after meals especially...got worried and thought of asking ayurvedic experts. 

     And I really appreciate you asking further questions.

Also I would like to mention that in my past 5 years annual physicals, I observed my throid functionality is very abnormal, it varies a lot, but overall TSH is within range though. Just though of letting you know.

Really appreciate for your time, response and suggestions. Regards, Madhavi

HELLO MADHAVI,

SYMPTOMS YOU MENTIONED -constipation for 5+ years -bowel movement once in 3-4 days -gas and bloating -acid reflux(burning, sour bleching) -cold feeling in stomach after eating -started around menopause phase -allergies and cholesterol issues

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOR BODY? According to ayurveda, your body is governed by three energies(doshas)= vata, pitta, and kapha Here’s what happening

CONSTIPATION - dosha involved is vata =vata controls movement. During menopause vata increases naturally. This leads to dryness and slowness in the gut, making it hard to pass stool.

GAS/BLOATING - dosha involved Vata =gas is a classic sign of excess vata in intestines. Food stays undigested and ferments

ACID REFLUX - dosha involved is Pitta =acid is related to pitta(heat and fire). When digestion becomes irregular, pitta gets disturbed and causes acid to rise up.

COLD BELLY AFTER EATING - weak digestive fire =your digestion fire is too low, and it cannot digest food properly, leading to cold feeling in stomach

MENOPAUSE - increases Vata =natural aging, dryness, and hormonal shifts increase vata, causing these digestive changes.

LETS UNDERSTAND THIS IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE

DIGESTION FIRE IS WEAK(low agni) -think of digestion like a cooking stove(agni) -when it burns strong, food gets digested well -If it’s weak (due to age, vata increase, stress or poor diet) food stays undigested- causing gas, bloating , constipation and acid

VATA IS TOO HIGH(especially Apana Vata) -vata is dry, cold, light, and rough in nature -It governs movement, especially in the lower part of the body (colon) -when it goes out of balance (which happens naturally during menopause), it causes dry intestines, slow bowel movement, and coldness in stomach

PITTA IS ALSO DISTURBED -pitta controls acid and enzymes -when digestion is irregular , pitta flares up and causes acidity, sour burps, heat and inflammation

So we’re dealing with a vata-pitta imbalance with weak digestion.

TREATMENT GOAL to heal you completely, we will work on the root cause , not just a symptoms

STRENGTHEN AGNI= boost your digestive fire so you can digest food properly

BALANCE VATA= reduce dryness and gas by making intestines moist and active

SOOTHE PITTA= reduce acidity and burning

IMPROVE ELIMINATION= daily, soft, easy bowel movement without strain

NOURISH TISSUES= post menopausal women need more nourishment

REMOVE TOXINS= undigested food/toxins needs to be cleared

TREATMENT PLAN

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =mild natural laxative, cleanses intestines, reduces toxins (continue this)

2) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp 20 min before meals twice daily with warm water =neutralizes acidity, reduces pitta; improves digestion

3) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with ghee before meals twice daily =helps in gas, bloating, ans weak digestion

4) SHATAVARI + ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp each with warm milk in morning =supports hormonal balance, nourisehs vata, strengthens immunity

5) PIPPALI CHURNAM= pinch in warm water after meals =increases digestive fire, removes coldness

6) DASHMOOLA HARITAKI AVALEHA= 1 tsp with warm water at night =tones colon, reduces dry type constipation, make stool softer over time, calms body and mind

Start for 3 months regularly. Ayurveda is slow but deeply healing

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED PROPERLY

GRAINS= rice white or red, oats, quinoa, broken wheat, soften roti with ghee =easily digestible, soothing to intestines, grounding for vata

PULSES/LEGUMES= split moong dal, massor dal, urad dal(in small quantity), green gram sprouts(lightly steamed) =moong is best- reduces gas and nourish tissue. cook with cumin , hing, ginger, to avoid gas

VEGETABLES= bottle gourd, ash gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd, carrot, beetroot, sweet potato, cooked spinach, zucchini =soft, moist, vegetables reduces dryness. cooked and spiced lightly they help digestion

FRUITS= papaya, banana, (ripe), pomegranate, apple(steamed), figs, soaked raisins, dates =these fruits ease constipation and reduce pitta heavy.avoid cold fruits from fridge strictly take room temperature fruits

FATS= cow ghee 2-3 tsp daily, sesame oil in cooking, small amount of coconut oil =ghee is medicine here- it lubricates colon, strengthens digestion, calms acidity

DAIRY= warm milk with turmeric or nutmeg , panner(fresh not fried), homemade buttermilk(thin, spiced with cumin and coriander) =warm dairy soothes both vata and pitta . avoid sour curd at night

SPICES= cumin, coriander, fennel , ginger, ajwain, hing, black pepper, cinnamon =these spices help digest food, reduce gas and keep agni balanced

SWEETNERS= jaggery, small amount of raw honey (never heat honey), dates, raisins =natural and moistening- helps ease constipation. Not refined sugar

FLUIDS= warm water, jeera water, ajwain. water, ginger tea, fennel-coriander- cumin tea =sip throughout the day to flush toxins, reduce bloating and keep gut warm

GOLDEN RULE= eat warm, moist, well cooked, lightly spiced food, avoid dry, cold, and raw foods- they disturbs your gut further

FOODS TO AVOID STRICTLY

COLD FOODS= cold water, cold mil, fried fruits, ice cream =cold suppress digestive fire, worsens vata and increases acidity

RAW FOODS= raw salads, uncooked sprouts, uncooked vegetables =too rough and drying for your weak gut- leads to gas, bloating

SPICY/OILY= green chilli, red chilli, too much garlic, fried pakoras, samosa =increases pitta (acidity), weakness agni

HEAVY CARBS= bread, bakery, refined flour, noodles, pizza, biscuits =difficult to digest form toxins

DRINKS= carbonated soda, cold juices, canned drinks =gas forming disturbs gut balance

ANIMAL PROTEIN= egg (can use If boiled only occasionally), red meat strictly avoid =heavy and heating- not recommended in weak digestion

TOO MUCH ONION/GARLIC= avoid especially raw =very heating, disturbs pitta and causes gas

SPICES FOR DIGESTION use these spices regularly in your cooking to reduce gas, improves digestion and balance doshas HING= best for gas. use in dal and veggies AJWAIN= chew 1/2 tsp after meals with black salt JEERA= add to cooking or boil for water SAUNF= chew after meals or boil in tea GINGER= fresh ginger in meals, or ginger tea BLACK PEPPER= enhances digestive enzymes in small amounts CORIANDER= cools pitta, especially in teas

YOGA ASANA(start slow=20 min/day) -Pawanmuktasana= releases trapped gas from intestines -Vajrasana= stimulates digestion(after meals) -balasana= calms vata, relaxes abdomen -Apanasana= aids in bowel movement -Bhujangasana= opens abdominal area, improves digestion

PRANAYAM(daily 10 min after yoga) -Nadi sodhana= clears energy channels, calms mind -Bhramari= reduce stress and acid formation -Ujjayi = gently builds digestive fire -Avoid very breathing like kapalbhati for now, unless guided

LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS

wake up before sunrise= encourages bowel movement and clears toxins

Try to poop same time daily= trains body to empty bowels naturally

Abhyanga(oil massage )- 3 times/week= warm sesame oil calms vata and supports digestion

Gentle walk after meals= helps digestion and reduce gas(20-30 min post meals)

Sun exposure= boosts vitamin D and improves agni

Meditate or listen to calming music= gut health and mind are deeply connected

Drink warm water through the day= keeps digestion flowing and clears toxins

SLEEP AND MENTAL WELL-BEING -vata increases with poor sleep. Get 7-8 hours of restful sleep -avoid screen time at least 30 mins before bed -evening milk with nutmeg or turmeric helps calm the system

ABOUT COLD STOMACH AFTER FOOD this is not typical, but in ayurveda it may indicate -Low agni(weakened digestive fire) -Ama(toxins) in the gut -Vata dominant in the digestive tract

It’s not dangerous , but a sign that digestion needs strengthening.

-BE PATIENT= ayurveda heals deeply but takes time -FOLLOW ROUTINE= daily rhythm helps digestion reset -EAT MINDFULLY= sit, chew, and respect your meal -USE MEDICATIONS CONSISTENTLY= give then. 2-3 months -DON’T SUPPRESS URGES= especially gas, burping, or bowel urge -STAY WARM= especially abdomen area -LOVE YOUR GUT= calm mind= calm gut

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

You’re very welcome, Madhavi — and thank you for sharing more details about your health. You’re not overwhelming at all; it’s important to have a full picture to guide you better.

Yes, please feel free to share your previous health reports — I’ll review them and provide insights based on what I see.

From what you described:

Thyroid fluctuations can sometimes occur due to stress, diet, or hormonal changes. Regular monitoring is good, even if medication hasn’t been needed yet. Sinus and ear issues may be seasonal or related to allergies — mild but worth keeping an eye on. L5-S1 disc prolapse with sciatic symptoms sounds well-managed, especially with chiropractic care and an active, cautious lifestyle — you’re doing the right things. Lack of hunger could be related to digestion, thyroid, or overall metabolism — we can explore this further. You’re doing a great job staying active and aware. Let’s review your reports when you’re ready

Understanding the symptoms and your body’s unique responses is key in Ayurveda. The sensation of a ‘cold’ stomach, particularly following meals, indicates a potential imbalance in digestive fire, or Agni. When Agni is weak, it may not metabolize food efficiently, contributing to lingering issues like gas, constipation, and acid reflux over time.

Triphala, you’ve noted, been useful in improving gut health. This is no surprise, given its ability to balance Vata dosha and aid digestion. However, ensuring Adequate Agni involves more aspects beyond given herbal supplementation. Here are few practical suggestions that might help with your ongoing concerns:

Firstly, considering enhancing digestive fire by including warming spices in your meals. Ginger, cumin, and black pepper can be quite beneficial. Adding a small piece of fresh ginger with a sprinkle of salt before meals can help stimulate the Agni.

Your feeding habits play a significant role too. Eat meals at regular intervals and avoid overeating. Consider portion sizes that will satisfy hunger, but not leave you feeling stuffed. Smaller, more frequent meals might reduce the pressure on digestive system and support better assimilation.

Hydration is crucial, yet excessive water, especially cold, during meals can dampen Agni. Prefer sipping warm water through the day, and limit yourself to small amounts during meal times.

Lastly, practice mindful eating; chew your food well, eat in a relaxed environment and avoid distractions such as television or phones during eating.

If the cold feeling persists or you experience additional symptoms such as significant weight changes or persistent pain, consulting your healthcare provider would be wise. While Ayurveda offers great insight, not all symptoms can be solely addressed without considering wider medical diagnoses.

Thank you for the advice Doctor. That was very thoughtful of you and thank you for your helpful tips to practice in my lifestyle. I see, that I am currently not doing much as I should do in my lifestyle changes. Thank you very much. Really appreciate for your time, response and suggestions. Regards, Madhavi

Experiencing a cold sensation in the stomach, especially after eating, could indicate an imbalance in your digestive system according to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. The sensation of coldness may relate to an imbalanced agni (digestive fire), potentially being too weak or ‘cold’ due to excess Vata or Kapha. Your history of constipation, gas, and acid reflux suggests a disrupted digestive process.

To support and regulate your digestion, consider these steps:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Focus on warm, cooked foods which are easier to digest compared to raw or cold foods. Grains like rice and oatmeal, soups, and cooked vegetables can be soothing. Avoid iced water and drinks; prefer warm herbal teas such as ginger or cumin tea which help ignite digestive fire.

2. Herbal Support: While Triphala is beneficial, adding warm spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric in your cooking can further strengthen agni. These herbs encourage better digestion and gas reduction.

3. Regular Eating Schedule: Eating at regular intervals helps in maintaining a balanced digestion. Avoid long gaps between meals which can increase Vata imbalance, thereby affecting digestion.

4. Pranayama and Yoga: Simple breathing exercises (Pranayama) like Anulom-Vilom or kapalbhati can support digestive fire. Gentle yoga poses like pavanmuktasana (wind-relieving pose) can reduce bloating.

5. Lifestyle Choices: Contemplate reducing stress levels through meditation or mindfulness techniques, as stress can negatively impact gut health.

If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an Ayurvedic physician to assess your dosha balance more thoroughly. An underlying issue might need to be explored, but these steps should provide a stabilizing effect on your digestive processes.

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. 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. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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. 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. 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. 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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

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. 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. 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.
