HELLO SHABNAM,

The feeling of lightheadedness or that you might faint can be scary, but not always dangerous. You may feel -like the ground is moving -unsteady or off balance -empty headed or foggy -like you’ll fall when sitting or standing

This is often due to temporary imbalance in your body’s coordination system, especially the inner ear, nervous system, or blood circulation

CAUSES 1)VERTIGO= common if the inner ear which controls balance is disturbed 2)LOW BLOOD PRESSURE= less blood reaches the brain when sitting or standing 3)DEHYDRATION= makes you feel weak and dizzy 4)LOW BLOOD SUGAR OR ANEMIA= less energy and oxygen to your brain 5)CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS= if nerves in the neck are compressed 6)ANXIETY/STRESS= causes poor oxygenation and shallow breathing 7) NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES= rare but serious(tumor, stroke signs)

In Ayurveda, your symptoms relate to imbalance in vata dosha- the force responsible for movement, nerves, and space in the body

specifically -Prana vata- controls mind and heart functions -Udana vata- controls upward movement, speech, balance

When vata is aggravated due to dryness, stress, poor eating, exhaustion, or irregular habits, it causes -bhrama-dizziness -murcha- near fainting

The goal of ayurveda is not just symptom control, but to correct the root imbalance using natural methods

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify vata dosha-main goal -strengthen nervous system -improve digestion and blood circulation -calm the mind -balance energy flow in the head and neck

INTERNAL MEDICINES

1) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 500mg twice daily after meals for 2-3 months =nervine tonic, releievs stress, strengthens body and mind

2) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily in morning and night for 3 months =improves focus, memory, balances prana vata

3) SARAWATARISHTA= 15ml with water twice daily after meals for 3 months =classical tonic, for dizziness, anxiety, and vata issues

4) DRAKSHASAVA= 10 ml with water twice daily after meals for 2 months =if weakness or anemia is present

5) GODANTI BHASMA= 125 mg with honey once daily in morning for 2 months =helps with headache, dizziness, and balancing heat

6) SHITOPALADI CHURNA + PRAVAL PISHTI= 2 gm + 250 mg with honey twice daily. inn orning and evening for 2 months =helps clear head heaviness and improves prana flow

EXTERNAL THERAPIES(optional but helpful- visit panchakarma clinic for this

1) SHIRODHARA= oil drip on forehead for 7-14 days =calms nervous system, reduces dizziness and anxiety

2) NASYA= instill 2 drops of ANU TAILA in each nostril daily morning for 21 days =balances prana vata

3) OIL MASSAGE with BALA TAILA= for 3-4 times/week= can be done at home =vata pacifying, improves blood flow, relaxes body

4) KARNA PURANA= instill 2 drops of bilwa taila in ears weekly =strengthens sense organs and balance

HOME REMEDIES

-Warm water with lemon and jaggery in morning= improves circulation -Soaked almonds(4-5 ) with warm milk-for brain strength -Tulsi tea = reduces anxiety and dizziness -Fenugreek powder 1 tsp + honey= once a day to balance vata -Black raisins(10 soaked overnight)- promotes energy and brain health -Triphala at night- 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime, improves vata balance.

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -warm, soft, freshly cooked meals -ghee and sesame oil in cooking -sweet fruits-banana, papaya, grapes -soups, stews, khichdi -almonds, raisins, dates -milk- boiled with turmeric or nutmeg

AVOID -dry, cold, raw food -caffeine, alcohol -fasting or skipping meals -processed/junk food

YOGA ASANA -vrikshasana= improves balance -tadasana= grounding and stability -balasana= calming -viparita karani= improves brain blood flow

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances left and right brain -Bhramari= calms nervous system -Nadi sodhana= clears energy channels

Start slow 5-10 minutes in a calm place . Avoid fast breathing techniques like kapalbhati if dizzy

INVESTIGASTIONS TO DO

1) CBC= check for anemia 2)Blood sugar= real out hypoglycemia 3)Vitamin b12/d levels= deficiency can cause dizziness 4)Blood pressure monitoring 5) Audiometry/ENG= if ENT suspects vestibular cause 6)MRI BRAIN= rule out neurological cause 7) CERVICAL SPINE X-RAY/MRI= if neck pain or stiffness present

LIFESTYLE TIPS -sleeep by 10 pm, wake up by 6-7 am -eat on time, do not skip meals -stay hydrated- warm water is ideal -take breaks from screen and avoid overstimulation -reduce mental stresss and overthinking -gentle walks in nature or morning sunlight are grounding -don’t get up too quickly from lying or sitting position

-Lightheadedness is usually not serious, especially if it happens occasionally and no other symptoms- like severe headache, vision loss, or numbness are present -Ayurveda offers a gentle, approach to treating this condition from root- focusing on vata balancing, nervous system toning, and mental calmness -if symptoms persist or increase, further tests like MRI should be done

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Lightheadedness can be unsettling and may have multiple possible causes. In Ayurveda, such symptoms could be linked to vata dosha imbalance, which governs movement and air in the body. It’s crucial to consider various factors, such as your overall health, age, and other existing conditions, before determining its seriousness. Since your ENT doctor already suggested a medication for vertigo, it’s wise to also explore potential underlying causes with modern diagnostic methods, like a head scan, to rule out any serious neurological issues. Especially if symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a physician for further evaluation could be important.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, supporting your nervous and circulatory systems can be beneficial. Ensuring you maintain a balanced diet and incorporate grounding foods such as sweet potatoes, cooked vegetables, and whole grains might help pacify vata. Drinking warm herbal teas like ginger or tulsi can also be soothing. Consider incorporating gentle breathing exercises or pranayama to stabilize your vata as well.

As for practical lifestyle suggestions, try to establish a regular daily routine, including consistent meal times and sleeping patterns. Avoid over stimulation from screens and loud environments, especially before bedtime, to foster a more grounding and calming environment. Some light oil massages with warm sesame oil before bathing can also be very balancing for vata.

If vertigo persists despite these measures, it’s advisable to reconsult with your physician, as they may recommend additional tests or treatment options to ensure you’re addressing the root cause effectively. It’s essential to stay attentive to your body’s signals and react promptly when something feels off.

Experiencing lightheadedness, especially if it happens often, can be unsettling and may require further exploration. While an ENT doctor has suggested vernitin, it’s essential to consider the root cause of your symptoms through an Ayurvedic lens. In Ayurveda, lightheadedness can sometimes be associated with an imbalance in the vata dosha, which governs movement and coordination in the body.

You might want to begin by evaluating any dietary or lifestyle factors that could be aggravating the vata dosha. Dietarily, incorporating warming, grounding foods like cooked grains, root vegetables, and healthy fats can help balance vata. Also, staying hydrated and ensuring regular meal times can stabilize your energy levels.

Beyond diet, consider your daily routine. Try to maintain a regular sleep schedule and incorporate grounding activities, such as yoga or gentle stretching, to soothe vata. Breathing exercises like alternate nostril breathing can also be beneficial.

As for whether you need a head scan or other tests, it’s crucial to prioritize safety. If these symptoms occur frequently or are accompanied by other signs (such as severe headache, changes in vision, or confusion), it would be wise to seek further medical evaluation. A scan or additional tests might be necessary to rule out more serious conditions.

Finally, stress management can play a key role in balancing vata and regulating the nervous system. Incorporating relaxation techniques or meditation may help reduce symptoms. Remember that while Ayurveda offers many supportive strategies, consultations with both Ayurvedic and allopathic healthcare providers is important to ensure comprehensive care.

HELLO SHABNAM,

Lightheadedness and feeling like you might faint can have various causes, and it’s good that you’ve already seen an ENT specialist. Since they’ve suggested Vertin-commonly used for vertigo and Meniere’s disease- it implies your doctor suspects an inner ear issue

At age 33, occasional lightheadedness may not be serious, but consider the following

WHEN TO CONSIDER A SCAN OR FURTHER TESTS -if symptoms persist or worsen -if you have headaches, vision problems, hearing loss, or difficulty walking -if there’s a history of head injury, stroke or neurological disease -if the ENT exam didn’t show clear causes

A brain MRI or CT may be recommended if there’s concern about neurological causes rare but possible

In Ayurveda, dizziness /lightheadedness is linked to Vata imbalance and can relate to Urdhwaga Vata or Vatavyadhi (neurological origin)

CORE AYURVEDIC PRINCIPLES FOR MANAGEMENT -pacify vata dosha -nourish the nervous system -improve circulation and grounding

AYURVEIDC REMEDIES

1) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily with warm milk in morning and night =supports nerves and reduces anxiety/dizziness

2) SHITOPALADI CHURNA WITH HONEY = 1/2 tsp churna + 1 tsp honey twice daily after meals =supports upper respiratory and head clarity

3) SHANKHAPUSHPI SYRUP= 1 tsp daily at night it improves clarity, reduce vertigo

4) TRIPHALA AT NIGHT= 1 tsp with warm water before bed - gentle detox, balances doshas

NASYA= instill 2 drops of ANU TAILA in each nostril in morning

DIET AND LIFESTYLE TIPS -warm, light, and oily foods- soups, ghee, rice porridge -avoid cold, dry or raw foods -practice regular oil massage with sesame oil daily -get good sleep and avoid overstimulation excess screen time, late nights -stay hydrated

GENTLE YOGA AND PRANAYAM -balasana and shavsana -nadi sodhana -avoid fast movements or head-down positions

THANK YOU

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

Hlw Shabnam,

Should you get a head scan or other tests?

If symptoms are new, worsening, or accompanied by other signs like:

Severe headache Weakness or numbness on one side Difficulty speaking or walking Sudden vision changes Loss of consciousness

Then immediate imaging like an MRI or CT scan is recommended.

If symptoms are mild, intermittent, and no other neurological signs, a scan may not be necessary right away. Your doctor may want to monitor and see if treatment with Vernitin helps.

Is it serious? Vertigo and lightheadedness often come from benign causes like inner ear issues or dehydration.

However, if symptoms worsen or new neurological symptoms appear, it could indicate something more serious that needs urgent evaluation.

Ayurvedic Medicines & Doses for Vertigo

Brahmi capsules- 250 mg, twice daily after meals Ashwagandha capsules- 500 mg, twice daily after meals Shankhpushpi syrup- 10–15 ml, twice daily after meals Vacha powder- ½ to 1 tsp with warm water, once daily

Stay hydrated.

follow up after 5 days.

Thank you!

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.

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?

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.
