Mam , my digestive system is so bad , anything I eat never feels on my body , I always have this loose stool issue

Hi sif, totally understood your situation. But the fact is for your issues we need proper medication along with some lifestyle modifications and dietary changes as I mentioned.

So other than medication (since you are not interested to take medicines), we need YOGA THERAPY,which include asanas( postures like Bhujangasana, Vajrasana ,etc which will improve your sexual health , then PRANAYAMA which can helps to reduce your stress and anxiety along with some DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES also you can practice. You must follow the diet as I mentioned. You can have tender coconut water/water boiled with crushed coriander Seeds to Soothens your stomach and thus helps to regulate your PITA DOSA

Premature ejaculation can often be influenced by an imbalance of the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta, which are linked to stress and overactivity of the mind. One of the first things to consider is calming and grounding your lifestyle. Improving your sleep cycle is essential, as poor sleep can exacerbate Vata disturbances. Aim to establish a routine where you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, ensuring 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

A useful herbal concoction may include Ashwagandha and Shatavari, which are thiruvally recommended in Siddha-Ayurveda for strengthening the reproductive system and reducing anxiety. You might take these as powders, a teaspoon mixed with warm milk at bedtime. To better enhance sexual performance, practicing deep breathing or pranayama can really help stabilize your mind and focus, reduce anxiety before initiating intercourse.

A diet rich in grounding and nourishing foods is vital. Incorporate warm, cooked meals, like soups and stews, to balance the Vata dosha. Adding ghee to meals can enhance the quality of the dhatus, especially Shukra Dhatu related to reproductive health. Include nuts, seeds, and fruits like bananas to naturally uplift body energy levels.

Importantly, set time aside for relaxation, meditation, or yoga to help control anxiety levels. Brahmi oil can be used for abhyanga (self-massage), helping to calm the nervous system. Too, limit stimulanting substances like caffeine and alcohol that might worsen your anxiety or sleep disturbances.

If anxiety or frustration persists or worsens, consulting with a healthcare professional for further guidance would be prudent. This ensures comprehensive and timely support.

HELLO,

Premature ejaculation is a common. issue and can be managed effectively with a combination of lifestyle changes, ayurvedic remedies, and psychological techniques. Since you’ve already tried allopathic medicine with limited results, an Ayurvedic approach can be helpful- but remember, consistency and holistic lifestyle are key.

In Ayurveda, premature ejaculation is associated with an imbalance in vata dosha, particularly apana vata, which governs the reproductive system.Excessive heat(pitta) or weakness of the shukra dhatu(reproductive tissue) can also contribute

Can u suggest which shilajit ?

HELLO SIF,

Premature ejaculation is when a man ejaculates too early during sexual activity- often within 1 minute of penetration- and is unable to control it.

In Ayurveda, PE is mainly due to -Vata aggravation, especially Apana vata= controls semen ejaculation. -Shukra kshaya- low reproductive tissue vitality -Manasika doshas like china(worry), bhaya(fear), and Tama(mental dullness)

These lead to loss of control over ejaculation, weakness in nervous and muscular coordination, and reduced semen quality

INTERNALLY START WITH

1)ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily, morning and night for 3-6 months =adaptogen, reduces stress, strengthens reproductive organs

2)KAUNCH BEEJ CHURNA- 1 tsp twice daily with honey+milk for 3-4 months =boosts libido, sperm quality, stamina

3)SHILAJIT CAPSULE(GOLD)- 1 cap once daily with lukewarm milk for 2-3 months =aphrodisiac, energy booster, balances vata and kapha

4)SAFED MUSLI CHURNA- 5 fm twice daily with warm milk =potent vajikaran herb fr strength and semen thickening

5)VRIHAT VATCHINTAMANI RAS- 125 mg with honey at night =nervine weakness, excessive vata, tremors, psychological weakness

6)CONFIDO TABLET(HIMALAYA)- 1 tab twice daily =reduces performance anxiety, increases control over ejaculation

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1)ASHWAGANDHA BALA TAILA -massage penis base, thighs and lower abdomen daily -for 5-10 min -do not apply on glans(tip) or urethral opening =strengthens nerves and improves blood flow

2)SHUKRA VARDHAK LEPA- local herbal paste -apply on pubic region or inner thighs- not on private part directly

DIET -DAIRY= milk, ghee, panner- nourishes shukra dhatu

-DRY FRUITS= almonds soaked, walnuts and figs- improve sperm and energy

-VEGETABLES= carrots, beetroot, spinach- boost blood and vitality

-SPICES= shatavari, saffron, cardamon- aphrodisiac and calming

-SWEET TASTES= rice, jaggery, dates- builds Ojas and shukra

AVOID STRICTLY -tea, coffee,aclohol, smoking -junk food, processed food -excessive spicy or sour items -cold,stale or fermented food -night awakening(Rathi jagran)

NOW COMES THE MOST IMPORTANT PART TO FOLLOW

1)KEGEL EXERCISES(MOOLA BANDHA IN YOGA) PURPOSE- STRENGTHEN PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES THAT SUPPORT ERECTION AND SEMEN CONTROL

HOW TO DO- -SIT/LIE DOWN AND TIGTHEN THE MUSCLES YOU USE TO STOP URINE MID STREAM -HOLD FOR 5-10 SECONDS, THEN RELEASE -REPEAT 15-20 TIMES, 3 SETS DAILY-MORNING,AFTERNOON,NIGHT

ADVANCED- TRY KEGEL CONTRACTIONS SURING AROUSAL , FOREPLAY, OR URINATION CONTROL TO STRENGTHEN EJACULATION DELAY

2)PELVIC THRUST EXERCISE(BRIDGE POSE) -LIE ON BACK, BEND KNEES, FEET FLAT -RAISE HIPS UPWARDS WHILE SQUEEZING BUTTOCKS AND HOLDING CORE -HOLD FOR 10 SECONDS AND RELEASE -DO 15 REPS*3 SETS

3)YOGA ASANA FOR SEXUAL STRENGTH -BHUJANGASANA=BOOSTS PELVIC CIRCULATION -PASCHIMITTANASANA= INCREASES SEMEN QUALITY -VAJRASANA AFTER MEALS= IMPROVES DIGESTION AND SHUKRA DHATU -ASHWINI MUDRA(ANAL LOCK)=CONTROLS PREMATURE EJACULATION

#PRANAYAM-DO 10-15 MIN DAILY -ANULOM VILOM- NERVE BALANCING -BHRAMARI- CALMS MIND, REDUCES OVER EXCITEMENT -UDGEETH- CONFIDENCE+OJAS BOOSTING

#EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL BALANCE WHAT YOU MAY BE FACING- -FEAR OF DISAPPOINTING PARTNER -GUILT OVER PAST FAILED EXPERIENCES -OVERDEPENDENCE ON PORN/ARTIFICIAL TRIGGERS -TIREDNESS FROM LACK OF SLEEP/DIET

WHAT TO DO -ACCEPT IT- SEXUAL WEAKNESS IS REVERSIBLE , DONT PANIC -TALK- EMOTIONAL INTIMACY>PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE -ENJOY SLOW FOREPLAY-DON’T RUSH -PRACTICE BRAHMACHARYA-BASED DETOX- 10-15 DAYS ABSTINENCE(NO SEXUAL ACT, NO MASTURBATION,NO AROUSAL), THEN SLOW RETURN -SLEEP MINIMUM 7 HORS DAILY AT NIGHT -AVOID PORN, OVER MASTURBATION STRICTLY

FINAL ADVICE -START THIS PROTOCOL FOR 8-12 WEEKS AND SEE VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT IN 1 WEEK -AVOID PERFORMANCE STRESS -STAY NATURAL,GROUNDED, AND COMMITTED TO HEALING.

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY,

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

hello sif,

Thanks for sharing clearly. Premature ejaculation (PE), especially when ejaculation happens in less than a minute after penetration, is quite common and often linked to lifestyle, sleep disturbance, performance anxiety, and sometimes excessive stimulation sensitivity. The good news is this can be managed very well without pills, using a combination of Ayurvedic support, mental conditioning, and daily habits.

Your early ejaculation can happen when the nervous system is overactive, due to poor sleep, stress, or excessive focus on the act. Also, if you’re not sleeping well, your testosterone cycles and mental control get disturbed, making things worse. This is not a disease but a condition that needs nerve control, cooling herbs, and practice.

Treatment Plan: 1. Ama Pachana (First 3 days)

To improve digestion and energy metabolism:

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

2. Internal Medications (Start after 3 days):

Ashwagandhadi Lehyam – 1 tsp with warm milk morning and night (improves stamina, delays ejaculation) Shukra Vallabh Ras – 1 tablet twice a day after meals (for shukra dhatu strength) Jatamansi Churna – ÂŒ tsp at bedtime with warm water (for calming nerves and better sleep) Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet at night after dinner (reduces anxiety, enhances control)

3. External / Practice:

Practice “start-stop technique” during self-stimulation or intercourse (pause when you feel close to ejaculation and resume after 10 seconds) Kegel exercises – helps you control pelvic muscles. Do 10 reps, 3 times daily. Apply Dhatupaushtik oil locally 10 mins before bath – not before intercourse.

Sleep Correction (Very Important): Sleep by 10:30 PM, avoid screen 30 mins before Warm milk with nutmeg powder (jaiphal) at bedtime Keep fixed wake-up time, even on weekends

Investigations (if not done): Serum Testosterone (morning sample) Thyroid Profile (TSH)

Do you get morning erections regularly? Have you experienced any past emotional stress or fear of performance?

Let’s start step-by-step. You don’t need pills just regularity, nerve-strengthening, and calmness. You’ll see change in 3–4 weeks. Feel free to follow up. Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Premature ejaculation is a common complaint. It is only rarely caused by a physical problem.

Premature ejaculation early in a relationship is most often caused by anxiety and too much stimulation. Guilt and other psychological factors may also be involved. The condition usually improves without treatment.

Non-drug Therapy

The “stop and start” method:

This technique involves sexually stimulating the man until he feels like he is about to reach orgasm. Stop the stimulation for about 30 seconds and then start it again. Repeat this pattern until the man wants to ejaculate. The last time, continue stimulation until the man reaches orgasm.

The “squeeze” method:

This technique involves sexually stimulating the man until he recognizes that he is about to ejaculate. At that point, the man or his partner gently squeezes the end of the penis (where the glans meets the shaft) for several seconds. Stop sexual stimulation for about 30 seconds, and then start it again. The person or couple may repeat this pattern until the man wants to ejaculate. The last time, continue stimulation until the man reaches orgasm.

Evaluation by a sex therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist may help some couples.

How long shall I continue this tablets ?

Premature ejaculation can definitely be challenging, affecting not just physical aspects but also mental well-being. In Ayurveda, it could be linked to imbalances in Vata dosha or even Pitta, especially if anxiety and anger are prevalent. Let’s look into some solutions rooted in ayurvedic wisdom.

First, addressing your sleep cycle is crucial. Try to stabilize your routine by sleeping and waking up at the same time every day. A pre-sleep regimen involving a warm bath and drinking warm milk spiced with a pinch of nutmeg can help calm your nervous system, easing Vata which is often disruptive in sleep disturbances.

Diet can also play a big role. Focus on grounding foods like whole grains, cooked vegetables, dairy, and ghee, which nourish the body and stabilize Vata. Avoid spicy, hot foods and stimulants like caffeine as they aggravate Pitta and might contribute to anxiety and irritability.

Ashwagandha is an excellent adaptogen to incorporate. It’s known to balance Vata and Pitta, and support sexual health. Take it as a capsule or powder, about 1-2 grams in warm milk, in the evening. But it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider before starting it.

Alongside these, specific physical exercises like yoga can be beneficial. Poses that emphasize relaxation and deep breathing, such as Balasana (Child’s Pose) and Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose), can help calm your mind and maintain physical well-being. Regular practice of pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can support your emotional balance.

Finally, considering practioner-guided abhyanga or self-massage using warm sesame oil, which is soothing and helps balance Vata. Massage for at least 20 minutes before a warm shower or bath. This routine can be done few times a week for best results.

Keep nurturing these lifestyle changes patiently for a few weeks. If your symptoms persist, visiting an ayurvedic practitioner for a more personalized plan might be a wise decision.

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.

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.

ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

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. 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. 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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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. 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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.
