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 – ¼ 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. 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 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. 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.

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.

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. Mohit Kakkar
I am a BAMS-qualified Ayurvedic physician from Jalandhar, Punjab, and I work with a deep interest in blending classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern telemedicine care. My practice is largely consultation based, reaching patients across the country through online platforms, which still feels new sometimes but works well. Till now I have served more than 500 patients through teleconsultations, mostly chronic cases where consistency really matters more than quick fixes. I focus on understanding each patient through dosha assessment, mainly balancing Vata, Pitta, Kapha using individualized treatment plans and nutrition guidance. Around 85% symptom relief has been seen in chronic conditions, though outcomes vary and need patience. I rely on personalised diet, daily routine correction, and classical Ayurvedic medicines. Some days are challenging, but seeing people feel lighter, sleep better, or regain control over health keeps me going. My aim stays simple,, long term wellness through practical Ayurveda, not rushed solutions.

Dr. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

Dr. Suraj Amber
I am practicing Ayurveda for about 8 years now, feels strange saying that because honestly the learning never stops. My work is all about finding balance in the body, not in some abstract way, but literally working with each person’s unique prakriti and the vikriti they’re dealing with at that moment. I follow the classical principles — herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, diet corrections, lifestyle tweaks — but nothing is “one size fits all”. Each treatment plan is shaped by the person infront of me, their health history, and the small details you only catch when you really listen. Over time I’ve worked with people dealing with digestion troubles, joint pains, hormonal shifts, stress-related health dips, and even stubborn chronic stuff that didn’t respond much to other methods. My approach is to go for the root cause first, because treating just the symptoms feels like putting tape over a crack... it hides it for a while but doesn’t fix it. That’s also why I focus on prevention — if you stop the imbalance before it grows, you save a lot of pain later. I keep my learning alive by reading classical Ayurvedic texts and joining continuing education whenever I can fit it in (sometimes late nights with too much chai). And I try to pass that clarity on to patients, explaining why a certain herb or therapy is chosen, what changes they might notice, and how they can keep supporting themselves after treatment ends. For me, this is more than just work. It’s a way of living… making choices every day that keep the mind, body, and emotions in some kind of harmony. My goal is still the same as day one — offer care that’s authentic, safe, and actually works for the long run, while making sure the person feels heard and understood through the whole process.

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. Shazia Amreen
I am Dr. Shazia Amreen, an Ayurvedic physcian with a little over 7 years of hands-on experience in clinical practice. I did my MD in Ayurveda from Government Ayurveda Medical College, Bangalore—and honestly, those years helped me go much deeper into the classical texts and the clinical ground. Not just theory... actual healing. Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with a diverse set of patients—from chronic gut problems to skin & hair concerns, musculoskeletal issues, hormonal imbalances, kidney stones, you name it. My core strength really lies in Panchakarma and gastrointestinal healing, where I don’t just jump into detox, but take time to see where the agni is, how deep the ama has gone, and whether the body’s ready to reset. I’m very rooted in classical assessment—looking at dosha imbalance, dhatu state, and prakriti before planning anything. But also, I keep it grounded in modern daily life. What’s the point of a great herbal blend if the person can’t sleep on time or digest their food properly, right? That’s why I focus big on Ahara-Vihara guidance. I don’t just hand over a diet list—I walk people through why those changes matter, and how to make them sustainable. In my practice, I often blend Rasayana chikitsa with basic lifestyle coaching, especially for cases like IBS, PCOS, eczema, migraines, or stress-triggered flareups. Each case is unique, and I don’t believe in repeating the same formula just because it worked for someone else. I also emphasize emotional reset, especially in long-standing chronic cases—sometimes people carry fear, shame, or frustration about their illness. I try to hold space for that too. Whether it’s someone coming in for general detox, a fertility consult, or just confused by their symptoms—I aim to build a plan that makes sense to them. It should feel doable. Balanced. And over time, it should make them feel like they’re coming back home to their own body. That’s the kind of Ayurvedic care I believe in—and try to deliver every single day.

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.
