Deviram

My Health History I started experiencing pain in my left leg in 2005. I didn’t consult a doctor then—just managed with painkillers until 2010. In 2011, the pain worsened, and I visited Ashwini Hospital in Chennai. I don’t remember the medicine they gave, but after taking it, back pain started. So, I decided to consult one of the best hospitals in the country—Apollo, Teynampet. There, Dr. Siddharth Ghosh, Senior Neuro Surgeon, attended to me and prescribed physiotherapy, which continued for a few months. However, with each passing day, both the medicine and physiotherapy only seemed to worsen the pain. In 2012, I lost hope with private hospitals and went to KMC Government Hospital, Kilpauk. There, a physiotherapist treated me in a different way, and I felt better in just 11 days. After that, pain would return now and then—sometimes in the cervical area, sometimes lumbar. From 2019 to Jan 2025, the frequency of pain was less, and I managed well. But from Feb 2025, I began experiencing severe radiating pain in my left leg again. I followed the same treatment—physio and medicine—but it hasn’t helped, even until July 2025. Despite the pain, my appetite remained good. So, I ended up eating more and sleeping more, as my movement was restricted. Maybe because of that—or maybe it had already started earlier—I began facing other health issues. A recent Master Health Check-up at Kauvery Hospital revealed the following problems: •>>>> Fatty Liver, High Bad Cholesterol,Thyroid, Borderline to High BP&Prostate<<<<< I’ve also been dealing with other issues for the past few years:- Following issues could be due to the above conditions as seen in recent Health Checkup 1. Heaviness near the heart, difficulty taking deep breaths, and a drowning-like feeling. I feel suffocated in closed spaces. I could take the MRI only after taking a heavy dose of sleeping tablet. 2. Left nostril runs while bending. 3. While travelling in a bus or car, I can’t look at the mobile screen even for a second. I get a terrible internal feeling—eye pain, curling sensation in the stomach 4. Right hand numbness due to earlier cervical pain, now managed with exercise. 5. Left leg numbness and sharp pain, starting from lower back, passing through the buttocks and running down to the toes. The leg feels very heavy. 6. Right leg nerve pain near the ankle, with swelling for the past 3–4 years. Just above the middle three toes, if pressed, it gives a current shock-like sensation. 7. Shaking hands sometimes, especially when feeling sudden hunger or abnormal appetite. 8. Occasional urine incontinence. While working, I can control it, but if I reach the washroom and it’s already occupied, I can’t hold it. 9. Right ear feels blocked, as if the hole isn’t open fully—though there’s no specific ENT issue confirmed. 10. Disturbed sleep—I can’t fall asleep before 1 or 2 AM, and can’t get up in the morning. I feel bad when my young son gets ready for school and my elderly mother sits helpless while I am still lying down. I’m unable to help others in my own family. Due to the back pain since Feb 2025, my movement has become very limited, and my eating and sleeping habits have worsened. That might have caused—or worsened—the health problems revealed in the recent health check-up as mentioned above>>>High Bad Cholesterol,Fatty Liver,Thyroid,Borderline BP & Enlarged Prostate<<< Frankly, I’m more worried about these than my neck and back pain. The back and neck issues have become like old friends to me—I’ve learned to live with them and work through them. But if I don’t manage these lifestyle-related conditions, I fear they may lead to something serious in the long run. That’s why I want to address these core issues through Ayurveda. A few Ayurvedic doctors I consulted told me that all these problems are interconnected and suggested a complete, customized treatment to cure all of them together. I feel hopeful after hearing that. My recent reports are attached.

Based on the detailed history provided, it’s clear that there are multiple interconnected health challenges, reflecting a typical presentation of Vata and Pitta imbalance. Your symptoms and lifestyle suggest an accentuated state of Vata, resulting in issues like body pains, digestive concerns, and insomnia, while Pitta may be causing thyroid, cholesterol, and emotional upset. Here’s how Ayurveda might approach your condition:

First, diet plays a very important role. Considering your fatty liver and high cholesterol, focus on a diet that softens Vata and moderates Pitta. Avoid pungent, sour and salty foods as they increase Pitta. Consume more sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Include cooked vegetables, whole grains like barley and brown rice, and lean proteins like mung beans and lentils. Healthy oils like ghee in moderation are beneficial.

Considering your thyroid and cholesterol, avoid refined sugars and processed foods. Use spices like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon, as they are excellent for digestion and metabolism. These spices can also calm an overactive mind which affects sleep.

For back and leg pain, regular gentle yoga and pranayama can help lower muscular tension and increase circulation. Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Shalabhasana (Locust Pose) are particularly beneficial for back issues. Breathe deeply and slowly, through simple pranayama exercises such as Anulom Vilom, which is particularly calming for the nervous system.

Given the sleep disturbances, establish a calming night routine. Drink warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg before bed. An Ayurvedic herb like Ashwagandha can support stress reduction and sleep normalization.

For managing cholesterol and fatty liver, include Triphala at night which helps in detoxifying and balancing digestion. Ayurvedic formulations like Arjuna could prove helpful for managing cholesterol and enhancing cardiovascular health.

Addressing lifestyle and emotional factors is paramount. Develop a daily schedule that allows regular sleeping and waking times, ensuring enough physical rest and mental relaxation. Reducing screen time before bed can help improve sleep quality.

Given your symptomatic expressions and potential metabolic imbalances, it’s crucial that you continue close monitoring by health professionals. Regular check-ups are necessary, particularly for your prostate, blood pressure, and thyroid levels, to guard against potential complications.

In conclusion, blending Ayurveda with regular check-ups provides a holistic framework, targeting root causes while ensuring safety and effectiveness.

Your detailed health history reflects a complex interplay of issues which, through the lens of Siddha-Ayurveda, indicates imbalances mainly in Vata and Pitta doshas. Let’s address your key concerns holistically:

1. For Fatty Liver and High Cholesterol: The liver is closely tied to Pitta. Incorporate bitter and astringent foods, such as karela (bitter gourd) and turmeric. Avoid fried and oily foods. Triphala churna can be taken at night for detoxifying the liver—around 1 teaspoon in warm water.

2. Thyroid Imbalance: This often relates to both Vata and Kapha. Consider having Kanchanar Guggulu which supports thyroid function. This can be taken as per dosage advised by an Ayurvedic practitioner.

3. Borderline High BP: As Vata increases, so can blood pressure. Regular intake of garlic or garlic juice can help, as well as a daily routine of meditation or pranayama to regulate stress levels.

4. Enlarged Prostate: This condition is often Kapha-related. Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is traditionally used to support prostate health. Ensure your fluid intake is balanced—not too little, to flush the system, and not too much so you avoid frequent urination.

5. Digestive Health: Given your history of consuming more due to pain and restricted movement, moderate your meal sizes and prefer lighter, easily digestible foods. Engage in gentle exercises within your comfort zone.

6. For Your Sleep Issues: Establish a fixed routine to regulate the body’s internal clock. Consuming a cup of warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg an hour before bed might help improve sleep quality.

7. Pain and Numbness: Continue physiotherapy but complement it with Ashwagandha for reducing pain related to Vata dosha imbalance. It may also help with stress and fatigue.

Your condition requires an integrative treatment approach, so it’s key to continue regular medical supervision, particularly for the prostate and cardiovascular aspects. Combination of Ayurvedic lifestyle adjustments along with necessary allopathic interventions will produce a more balanced and effective treatment over time. Always communicate openly with all your healthcare providers about the medicines and therapies you’re using to ensure compatibility and safety.

HELLO DEVIRAM,

THANK YOU FOR SHARING SUCH A DETAIL HISTORY

You are dealing with two main categories of health issues

1) NERVOUS SYSTEM + SPINE PROBLEMS These are mostly related to vata dosha imbalance, which governs nerves, joints, bones, and movement -SYMPTOMS= back pain, neck pain, radiating pain to left leg (sciatica), numbness in hands and legs, occasional shaking, sleep issues -overtime, this has worsened due to degeneration, poor posture, lack of exercise, and aging.

2) METABOLIC AND HORMONAL CONDITIONS These are largely linked to pitta and kapha imbalances -FATTY LIVER= liver can’t process fat properly-sluggish metabolism -HIGH LDL(bad cholesterol)= risk for heart disease -THYROID DISORDER== affects energy, weight, digestion, mood -BODERLINE HIGH BP= indicates strain on heart and blood vessels -ENLARGED PROSTATE= age-related issue, causes urinary urgency and incomplete voiding

Together, these create a vicious cycle -pain limits movement-> less physical activity-> more fat storage-> liver/thyroid/bp issues-> more fatigue-> more pain and stiffness-> sleep disturbance and mental distress-> repeat

TREATMENT GOAL -remove accumulated toxins -balance three doshas- especially vata -strengthen digestion and metabolism-agni -rebuild damaged nerves and tissues-rasayana -support liver, thyroid, prostate and heart -restore healthy sleep, energy and mental calm -create a sustainable , long term lifestyle shift

INVESTIGATIONS TO REPEAT EVERY 3-6 MONTHS

-Liver function test= monitor fatty liver -Lipid profile= track cholesterol(LDL,HDL, triglycerides) -Thyroid profile= to check progress -PSA(prostate specific antigen)= for prostate enlargement assessment -Blood pressure monitoring= weekly record -Blood sugar= metabolic health check -Spine MRI/CT if symtoms worsen= tract structural changes

10) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp before lunch and dinner with warm water =for acidity, pita balancing, digestion

START WITH 90 DAYS PHASE

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= with BALASHWAGANDHADI taila daily before bath -strenthens muscles, reduces vata

2) Followed by steam - hot towel fomentation =improves circulation, clears stiffness

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

4) FOOT MASSAGE= every night with ghee =helps sleep, soothes nerves

DIE AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES

4) CASTOR OIL (1/2 tsp at night)= occasionally for constipaton and vata pacification

5) SESAME OIL NASYA= helps sinus, nostril issues and mental clarity

-You’ve already taken the hardest step- awareness and willingness to heal -Ayurveda is not instant, but it is deep and long lasting -Healing also means forgiving yourself- for late waking for weight gain, for helping others right now. You’re working on it… -In 6 months, your liver , thyroid, prostate and sleep all can improve significantly if you follow this path -combine this with love, purpose, and gentle elf discipline

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. 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. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

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. 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. 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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. 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.

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.

I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.
