How to reduce bloating, acid reflux an burbing - #26345

Nadine

I always experience the above symptoms even if I eat what is called healthy food. PPI are not helping. Did endoscopy and colonoscopy, I have mild inflammation and mild loose sphincter. I almost have symptoms no matter what I eat. Tried to keep journal but couldn't figure out. What is good today might bother tomorrow

Dr. Khushboo
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

hello Nadine , I truly understand how exhausting it must be to feel discomfort despite eating what’s considered “healthy.” What you’re experiencing gas, bloating, discomfort after meals, and poor response to PPIs can be frustrating, especially when even diagnostic tests like endoscopy and colonoscopy only show mild issues like inflammation and a mildly loose lower esophageal sphincter (LES).

Let’s understand this simply. Your digestive system is behaving like a fire that is either too low (weak digestion) or too erratic (inflammatory). In Ayurveda, this is often linked to mandagni (low digestive fire) and ama (toxic residue from undigested food). Even if food is healthy, if your agni (digestive strength) is impaired, the food doesn’t get digested well and turns into ama this leads to inflammation, discomfort, and inconsistent symptoms. This also explains why your reactions vary day to day.

Treatment Plan

1. Start with Ama Pachana (to clear toxic buildup and kindle digestion):

Take this for 3–5 days:

Hingwashtak Churna – 1 tsp with warm water after lunch and dinner Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with warm water before bedtime

2. Internal medications (after 3–5 days of Ama Pachana):

Amlapittantak Lauh – 1 tab twice a day after food Kamdudha Ras (plain) – 1 tab twice a day after food Shankha Vati – 1 tab twice a day before food (especially if bloating or gas is severe) Kutajghan Vati – 1 tab twice daily after food (if stools remain irregular or loose)

3. Dietary Instructions:

Stick to light, warm, and freshly cooked food only. Avoid curd, milk, wheat bread, raw salads, packaged health foods, peanuts, and fried food. Have jeera-ajwain saunf water boiled and sipped through the day. Eat at regular intervals, not skipping meals. Limit tea/coffee; avoid fruits at night.

4. External Support:

Warm castor oil massage on abdomen 3 times a week. Use a hot water bag over the stomach when pain is severe.

Investigations (if not already done recently): Stool Routine + Culture Liver Function Test H. pylori stool antigen test Thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH)

Do you feel a burning sensation or reflux more while lying down? Does stress, anger, or anxiety make the symptoms worse?

With this approach, your digestion can be balanced gradually, and you’ll begin to feel stable even with simple food. The key is not just food but how well your system is processing it, and that’s what we’ll correct first.

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

Balancing these digestive concerns through Ayurveda might take combining several approaches aimed at restoring your digestive fire (Agni) and balancing your doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. Here’s how you might go about it:

Dietary Adjustments
Focusing on easily digestible meals might be beneficial, to support your Agni. Avoid overly processed foods and consider experimenting with a warm, bland diet - think khichadi, a simple dish made from rice and mung dal, which is soothing. Eating warm and freshly cooked meals also helps calm the digestive system. Chew your food thoroughly and dine in a peaceful setting, as stress can aggravate symptoms.

Spices
Incorporate digestive spices like ginger, cumin, coriander and fennel into your cooking. These can help enhance digestion and reduce gas. You can brew yourself a ginger tea by simmering fresh ginger slices in water for 10 minutes.

Routine & Mindful Eating
Try to eat your meals at regular times and avoid skipping. Eating smaller meals more frequently is often easier on digestion than a few large ones. Refrain from eating when you’re stressed or emotionally upset as it can trigger or worsen symptoms.

Herbal Remedies
Consider Ayurvedic formulations like Triphala to promote digestion, but it’s important to try a small dose initially to gauge your body’s response. Another option may be Amla (Indian gooseberry), thought to cool the system and reduce inflammation.

Physical Activities and Practices
Gentle exercises, like yoga, specifically twisting poses such as Ardha Matsyendrasana or Pavanamuktasana, can aid digestion. Daily walks, even brief, might help to move the digestive system along and reduce bloating.

Remember, these recommendations should be seen as a complement to ongoing medical advice. Always consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can personalize based on your individual needs and local health care regulations.

When you’re dealing with chronic symptoms like bloating, acid reflux, and burping, even with “healthy” foods, looking through an Ayurvedic lens can offer some insights and possibilities for relief. In Ayurveda, these issues often relate to an imbalance in pitta and vata doshas, possibly contributing to weak agni, or digestive fire. Here are some strategies you might consider:

1. Optimize Meal Timing and Size: Try eating smaller, more frequent meals instead of large ones. Eating every 3-4 hours maintains steady digestion without overwhelming your digestive system.

2. Mindful Eating Practices: Chew food slowly and thoroughly—digestion begins with saliva’s enzymes in the mouth, which can help reduce bloating. Avoid eating in a rush or when stressed, as vata agitation can exacerbate digestive distress.

3. Warm and Cooked Foods: Cold and raw foods can dampen the digestive fire, agni. Aim to consume warm, cooked meals to support easier digestion. This aligns naturally with supporting the digestive process.

4. Herbs and Spices: Consider incorporating herbs like fennel, ginger, and turmeric in your daily routine. Fennel can reduce gas, while ginger enhances digestion, and turmeric acts as a natural anti-inflammatory.

5. Hydration but Not During Meals: Consume water either 30 minutes before or after meals to avoid diluting digestion. Sipping a small amount of warm water or herbal tea during meals can aid digestion without overwhelming the stomach.

6. Breathing and Relaxation Techniques: Practices like alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana) can help balance your vata and calm your mind, benefiting digestion indirectly.

If symptoms persist or worsen despite these changes, it’s important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide a more personalized regimen. Additionally, keep in mind that mild inflammation and a loose sphincter can require a more comprehensive approach, potentially integrating both Ayurvedic and Western treatments. Always remain alert to the body’s signals and seek immediate medical care if symptoms markedly intensify or new concerning symptoms appear.

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

HELLO NADINE,

Thanks for your detailed message. based on what you’ve shared- persistent bloating, acid reflux, burping despite healthy diet, non-responsiveness to PPIs, and findings of mild inflammation and a loose lower oesophageal sphincter- it sounds like a complex case of functional dyspepsia or GERD with visceral hypersensitivity.

Your symptoms suggest an imbalance of Pitta (due to acid and inflammation) and Vata (due to bloating and irregular digestion ). A mild agni(digestive fire) imbalance is also likely, especially if food reactions are inconsistent

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

1) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

-KAMDUDHA RAS (WITH MUKTA)= 1 tab twice daily after meals with milk or honey =pitta shaamak, reduces hyperacidity and inflammation

-SHANKHA VATI= 1 tab after meals with warm water =enhances digestion, vata-kapha anulomana, relieves bloating and indigestion

-SUTSEKHAR RAS = 1 tab twice daily after meals =balance vata pitta, protects gastric mucosa, reduces nausea and reflux

-AVIPATTTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp before lunch and dinner with warm water =best for acid reflux

-DRAKSHASAVA= 20 ml after meals with equal water =mild laxatives, pitta vata hamak, enhances rasadhatu

-AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily afte rmeals =liver detox, reduce gut inflammation and removes toxins

2) DIET You mentioned even healthy food cause symptoms- in Ayurveda, it’s not only what you eat, but how and when matters

FAVOURABLE FOODS -well cooked rice, oats, barley -moong dal split yellow lentils -steamed veggies carrot, zucchini, squash -ghee 1-2 tsp/day -herbal teas= cumin-coriander- fennel tea -chamomile tea, ginger in small amounts

FOODS TO AVOID -raw foods, salads difficult to digest -cold drinks and cold foods -tomtoes, vinegar, citrus, garlic, onion -fermented foods can aggravate both vata and pitta -coffee alcohol, chocolate -deep fried and spicy foods

3) LIFESTYLE -eat at regular times, in peaceful setting -avoid eating late at night- last meal by 7 pm -chew food slowly and throughly -don’t lie down immediately after meals- wait at least 2-3 hours -gentle walk after meals -elevate the head of the bed slightly to reduce night reflux -practice oil massage with warm sesame oil 2-3 times./week to calm vata

4) YOGA AND PRANAYAM avoid intense postures that compress the stomach. -vajrasana= after meals -pawanmuktasana= to relieve gas -cat-cow pose for gut motility -Anulom Vilom= calming and balances vata pitta -bhramari= reduces stress and gut hypersenstitivity

5) DETOXIFICATION consider visiting a ayurvedic centre for -virechana= to eliminate excess pitta -basti= excellent for vata-pitta balance -mild sodhana therapies can help long term if done carefully

CONSIDERATIONS -keep a symptom diary not only for food but also emotional state, sleep, and stress- they can influence digestion -Mid body disorders like functional GI syndromes often benefit from ayurvedic approaches

SUGGESTED DAILY ROUTINE

6:30 AM= wake up, warm water with 1 tsp triphala or just plain warm water

7:00 AM= gentle yoga/walk

8:00 AM= light breakfast

12:00 PM= main meals(khichdi with veggies+ghee etc)

3:00 PM= herbal tea fennel or chamomile

6:30 PM= light dinner (soup or rice porridge)

9:30 PM= warm water sip before sleep

10:00 PM= sleep head elevated if needed

You’re not aline in experiencing inconsistent digestive issues. Ayurvedic path requires patience, subtle observation and cosistency.

THANK YOU

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Prajakta Kulkarni
I am Dr. Prajakta Kulkarni, an Ayurvedic physician and diet consultant with 15+ years into this field, and honestly—every year just keeps reminding me that food and healing aren’t separate things. My core focus is integrating Ayurvedic nutrition with actual modern dietary needs, like not everyone can live on kitchari and ghee alone, right? My goal’s always been to make Ayurveda feel doable, not distant. I run a global online Ayurvedic diet program—it’s now reached over 100 cities worldwide and still growing. The plan is simple but not basic: it’s tailored for each person’s constitution, goals, and health issues. Whether it’s weight issues, metabolism imbalance, IBS-type digestion drama, hormonal chaos, or even general fatigue—this program works by bringing the body back to balance through food that matches your dosha + condition. The 95% success rate? Not just marketing fluff. That’s real people writing back saying “hey I feel different now.” And that matters. Apart from diet work, I also offer home-based Panchakarma therapy—with Kerala-trained therapists, btw. Which means people can get authentic detox care (like abhyanga, virechana, nasya etc) without going into a clinic they’re not comfy in. I oversee the plan, make sure it suits their needs, and monitor the progress myself. Because I honestly don’t believe healing should come with discomfort or dread. My approach’s always about finding a midpoint between traditional Ayurvedic healing and practical daily life. I don’t tell people to do what isn’t possible for them. Instead, I build around what they can sustain, gently nudging them toward vitality, better digestion, stable energy, and a real sense of balance. It’s not about chasing perfection. It’s about feeling well and knowing how to stay there. At the heart of all this? Just one thing—making Ayurvedic wellness personal, effective, & actually livable in the modern world.

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

Dr. 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.
