How to managehigh prolactin, insomnia and alopecia - #26279

Nikieta

I'm a 34 year old Female. I have high prolactin, insomnia, alopecia, obesity, insulin resistance, gut issues. Low motivation, mood swings, lack of energy. Have been facing these issuesfor more than 5 years. Have tried glycomet but it doesn't suit me so stopped, was taking melatonin and later zol fresh tablet for sleep but now body is resistant to it so stopped that too. I feel like eatinga lot of carbs because ofgut issues and insulin resistance. But slowly trying to add more proteinin diet. Most dals cause bloating and acidity in mycase but recently I am able have white chickpea and black chickpea without much bloating. However most other dals cause bloating and discomfort. Used to use minoxidil for alopecia for about 3-4 years, then stopped it because of side effects and lost the hair again. It has becomevery thin, frizzy and difficult to manage.

Age: 34
Chronic illnesses: Asthma, insulin resistance, high prolactin, insomnia and alopecia

Dr. Misba Gaded
I am Dr Misba Gaded and ya, I'm an Ayurvedic physician with a BAMS degree—Ayurveda isn’t just my profession, it kinda became the way I see health, honestly. I mainly focus on general wellness n women’s health.. both areas really close to me for different reasons. Over time, I’ve got used to seeing a wide range of stuff like skin problems (those chronic ones that keep bouncing back), obesity, digestion that just won’t stay calm, joint pain that lingers, and typical things like constant fatigue or that never-ending cough & mild fevers. Sometimes it's more about untangling what's not obvious, right? One of my deeper areas of interest is women’s wellness.. I deal a lot with hormonal mess-ups—like PCOS, irregular periods, ovarian cysts, or issues around garbhashaya (womb care). Most women I meet are juggling so much, and it's like, they forget their own balance in all that. I try to bring that back through a mix of Ayurvedic herbs, food tweaks, daily routine shifts and even simple yoga flows if they’re open to that. Not like some magic fix in a bottle kinda thing.. it’s more patient, more layered. Sometimes we go all classical—formulations from the granthas, tailor-made to the person's prakriti and vikruti. Other times it’s just about cleaning up gut stuff and giving digestion some peace. That helps a lot more than people expect. I don't usually rush through consults, coz I need to really listen—sometimes what a person’s not saying tells you more than what they are. Anyway, I’m not into overcomplicating treatment or going all flashy about Ayurveda. I like keeping it rooted. I just want to help people feel more “at ease” in their own body again, whether it’s through a ghee-prep or a lifestyle reset or calming an aggravated pitta that's burning them from inside out. That's kinda the space I work in. Every person comes in with their own story.. I just try to meet them where they are and walk with them from there.

HELLO NIKIETA,

You are experiencing a combination of hormonal, metabolic, nervous system, and digestive disorders.

High prolactin= hormonal imbalance due to stress, impaired metabolism(kapha-vata aggravation)

Insomnia= Vata imbalance (racing thoughts, nervous system hyperactivity)

Alopecia(hair fall)= poor digestion(Agni) , excess vata and pitta in scalp, stress, low nutrition

Obesity, Insulin resistance= Kapha and Meda (fat tissue) accumulation, weak Agni(digestive fire)

Gut issues, bloating= weak digestive fire (Mandagni), vata imbalance in intestines

Mood swings, low energy= vata-pitta imbalance, chronic stress, poor nutrition, hormonal dysregulation

HOW THESE CONDITIONS CONNECT -High prolactin may be due to stress or pituitary imbalance (linked with adrenal exhaustion) -Insulin resistance and obesity further disturb hormones, worsen sleep, increase cravings -Poor digestion leads to “Ama” (toxins), which further disturbs metabolism, energy, skin and hair -Hair loss is a symptom of deeper nutritional, digestive and hormonal issues.

TREATMENT GOAL -balance kapha, reduce ama(toxins) -restore Agni(digestive and metabolic fire) -calm Vata (especially for sleep, stress, digestion) -support healthy hormones (especially prolactin, insulin) -nourish hair tissues (Asthi and Majja dhatus) -improve emotional and mental wellbeing

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

hello nikieta, you’re facing a complex but connected set of issues that all relate to hormonal imbalance, metabolic sluggishness, and gut disturbance. High prolactin, insulin resistance, obesity, alopecia, mood swings, and insomnia are all symptoms that suggest disturbed Agni (digestive fire) and blocked channels (srotorodha), especially of Manovaha srotas (mind-body pathway), Rasavaha and Medovaha srotas (nutrient and fat metabolism). Years of imbalance, wrong diet, or chronic stress can cause Ama (toxins) accumulation and disturb Vata–Kapha, worsening both physical and mental health. Medicines alone won’t work unless digestion is corrected first, so we’ll start with Ama Pachana (toxin removal) and then give core treatment.

Phase 1: Ama Pachana (first 5–7 days)

Hingwashtak Churna – 1 tsp with warm water before meals Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime

Phase 2: Main Medicines (start after 7 days of above)

Kanchanara Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with warm milk at bedtime Sutshekhar Ras (Plain) – 1 tablet before food twice daily (for acidity and bloating) Ayaskriti – 10 ml with equal warm water after meals (for iron and metabolism) Brahmi Vati (Gold optional) – 1 tablet at night for sleep, stress, memory

Hair Support (External)

Neelibhringadi Tailam – Apply warm oil on scalp 2–3 times a week, leave for 1 hour, wash with herbal shampoo Shikakai & Arappu powder mix – Herbal hair wash weekly instead of chemical shampoos

Follow-up: Review after 6–8 weeks.

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

Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it seems like there’s a complex interaction between your dosha imbalances that needs attention. High prolactin, alopecia, insomnia, insulin resistance, and gut issues indicate a combination of Vata and Kapha imbalances.

For managing high prolactin, consider incorporating Shatavari powder in your daily routine - about 1 teaspoon mixed with warm milk before bed. It’s renowned in Ayurveda for balancing hormones and can help manage prolactin levels naturally. It’s usually safe but, check with your practitioner if you have specific health conditions.

Insomnia can be alleviated with Ashwagandha or Brahmi. Try taking Ashwagandha powder - half a teaspoon mixed with warm milk or water, in the morning. It helps in reducing stress and promotes sound sleep. Brahmi can be taken in capsule form, once daily, which aids cognitive functions and calms the mind, which might also indirectly aid sleep.

For alopecia and hair health, consider Bhringraj oil - gently massage your scalp with the oil before washing your hair a couple of times a week. Including Amla in your diet is also beneficial due to its high vitamin C content that nourishes hair and promotes growth.

Gut issues are likely contributing to your cravings for carbs. Pippali powder can aid digestion and improve metabolic activities. Take a pinch of it with honey before meals. Adding fresh ginger in your tea or meals can help alleviate bloating and discomfort caused by legumes, you might try soaking dals overnight and then throw away the soaking water before cooking to reduce bloating — and start with small amounts to see how you tolerate it.

For insulin resistance, a balanced diet with low glycemic index foods, and regular moderate exercise like brisk walking for at least 30 minutes daily is beneficial. Avoid refined sugars and opt for whole grains in moderated quantities.

Keeping hydrated is essential, so drink plenty of lukewarm throughout the day. Plus, managing stress through Yoga and Pranayama can also have positive effects on overall health and mood swings.

Assessing your body’s response to each advice is crucial - sometimes what works for one may not for another. Keep track of any changes and adjust the regimen as needed, possibly with the guidance of a trained Ayurvedic practitioner, ensuring you’re working safely towards relief from these chronic issues.

To address high prolactin, insomnia, and alopecia holistically, consider focusing on balancing your body’s doshas and improving digestive health. These issues may be linked to vitiated vata and kapha dosha, imbalanced agni, and impacted digestive system.

1. Diet and Nutrition: Start by incorporating a vata-pacifying diet; focus on warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest. Favor whole grains like quinoa and millets, and vegetables such as cooked carrots, zucchinis, and squash. Since dals cause bloating, consider mung beans, which are often easier to digest, in small quantities.

2. Herbal Remedies: For high prolactin and to support hair health, bring in adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha, which can help balance hormones and also support sleep. Brahmi and Jatamansi are beneficial too for calming vata and improving sleep. For alopecia, Bhringraj oil can be massaged into the scalp regularly.

3. Daily Routine: Develop a consistent daily schedule, rising with the sun and eating at regular intervals to stabilize energy levels and metabolic processes. Prioritize gentle morning stretches or yoga to enhance circulation and reduce stress.

4. Digestive Health: Consume herbal teas like ginger tea or cumin-coriander-fennel tea to support digestion and reduce bloating. Consider a small piece of ginger with a few drops of lemon juice and salt before meals to stimulate agni.

5. Stress Management: Stress can exacerbate all these conditions, so incorporate meditation or pranayama into your daily routine. Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) can be particularly calming to the nervous system and may aid in insomnia and mood swings.

6. Sleep Hygiene: Establish a calming pre-sleep routine; turn off screens an hour before bed and opt for a warm bath or reading to wind down. Avoid caffeine and heavy meals in the evening.

Given your symptoms and ongoing issues, it’s important to work alongside a healthcare professional to monitor hormone levels and adjust the approach as needed, especially for insulin resistance and obesity. These conditions require comprehensive management and regular medical follow-ups to prevent long-term complications.

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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
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. 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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

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. 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.

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

Dr. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.
