Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
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 oyinkansola, Your chest pain on the left side likely comes from gas or acidity rising up into the chest, especially if drinking water helped earlier. After delivery, hormonal changes, digestion slowdown, and lifestyle stress can make these problems worse. This is common and not usually heart-related, but persistent symptoms must be checked to rule out other causes. Your oily skin and pimples are mostly due to internal heat (Pitta) and oil (Kapha) imbalance. When digestion is weak, undigested food turns into toxins (we call this Ama), and these spread through the blood, causing acne, oily skin, and breakouts.

Investigations Suggested (to rule out deeper issues):

USG Abdomen – To check for any acidity-related gastric issues or hernia ECG or TMT (if chest pain persists) – To rule out any heart-related causes CBC, ESR – To check for infection or inflammation Hormonal Profile – Especially if acne is persistent (testosterone, DHEA-S, LH, FSH) Lipid Profile – If diet has been irregular or weight gain is present Stool Test (if gas is excessive) – To check digestion strength and gut health

Treatment Plan (Step-by-step):

1. Ama Pachana (to correct digestion):

Hingwashtak Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily for 5 days Jeerakadyarishta – 15 ml with equal water after meals for 7 days

2. Internal Medicines (for chest discomfort and skin issues):

Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with lukewarm water at bedtime (helps acidity and chest pressure) Manjishtadi Kwatha – 20 ml + 20 ml water, twice daily before meals (purifies blood, supports skin) Nimbadi Guggulu – 2 tablets after meals, twice daily (clears oily skin and reduces pimples)

3. External Remedies (for pimples and oily face):

Neem face wash – Twice daily Face pack – Multani mitti + Neem powder + Rose water, 3 times a week Kumkumadi Tailam – 2–3 drops at night for reducing marks and improving glow

Regards, Dr. Karthika

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

HELLO OYINKANSOLA,

Your condition -CHEST PAIN(left side)= repeated pain not relieved by drinking water, especially after childbirth -oily skin with pimples(postpartum) -you are 26 years old and otherwise do not report major chronic disease

These symptoms point toward imbalance in two main Ayurvedic doshas -Vata dosha= causes pain, dryness, weakness. post delivery, vata naturally becomes dominant -Kapha dosha= causes oiliness, sluggish metabolism, aaccumulation -Pitta dosha = responsible for inflammation, acne, heat

TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata (pain, weakness) -reduce kapha and pitta (oily skin, acne) -improve digestion and metabolism -purify blood (rakta sodhana) -strengthen immunity and restore post delivery health

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before lunch and dinner for 4-6 weeks =balances pitta, reduces acidity, helps with digestion (chest pain due to gastric cause)

2) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water for 3 months =gentle detox, clears bowel, reduces toxins, supports skin health

3) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 2 month =blood purifier, anti inflammatory

4) KUMARYASAVA= 15ml with equal water after meals for 2 months =improves digestion, supports uterus post-delivery, relieves gas/bloating

5) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after food for 6 weeks =improves liver function, clears skin, supports metabolism

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS FOR OILY FACE

FACE PACK -multani mitti + turmeric + rose water =controls, reduces pimples

-Neem powder + Aloe Vera gel =anti bacterial, soothing, clears skin

DAILY CLEANSING -wash off with neem based or turmeric based herbal face wash twice daily

HOME REMEDIES -AMLA JUICE= 20 ml daily on empty stomach. rich in vitamin c, reduces heat and supports skin

-TURMERIC MILK= 1/2 tsp turmeric in warm milk at night

-AJWAIN WATER= 1 tsp roasted ajwain boiled in 1 cup water, after meals for gas/pain relief

-CORAINDER SEED INFUSION= soak 1 tsp in water overnight, drink in morning for pitta cooling

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -pawanmuktasana= relieves gas, and pain -bhujangasana= opens chest ,relieves gastric pressure -supta baddha konasana= postpartum pelvic support -balasana= calms vata

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= balances all doshas, reduces stress -sheetali/sheetkari= cools body, balances pitta

PRACTICE= 10-15 mins daily, especially morning or evening

DIET -eat freshly cooked warm food- avoid leftovers and cold raw foods –use spices like cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric- they balance digestion and reduce bloating/acne -avoid dairy in excess, especially curd and cheese - worsens kapha and pimples -limit sugar, fried food, spicy pickles, and junk-aggravate both skin and digestion -drink lukewarm water, avoid cold water and drinks -ghee- nourishes body and helps balance vata

FOODS TO INCLUDE -moong dal, red rice, gourds(bottle gourd, ridge gourd,) , carrots, pumpkin, apples, pomegranate

INVESTIGATIONS ADVISED -ECG + Echocardiogram= to ensure chest pain is not heart related -CBC= check for infection or inflammation -Hormonal panel= TSH, Prolactin, testosterone -Ultrasound abdomen -lipid profile+ vitamin D

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Pain in the left chest should be taken seriously, especially after childbirth. While Ayurveda offers solutions, it is crucial to first rule out any potential heart-related problems or other medical emergencies. Immediate medical attention is advised to determine the cause of your chest pain, especially since it is persistent and water intake has not relieved it.

Regarding the issues with your face, from an Ayurvedic perspective, oily skin and pimples often point to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha. This dosha is associated with heat, digestive fire, and metabolism. Postpartum hormonal changes can exacerbate Pitta, leading to increased oil production and acne.

Here’s what you can do. Consider modifying your diet to calm Pitta. Favor cool, bland foods and avoid spicy, sour or fried foods as these can further aggravate your skin. Include lots of fruits and vegetables, like cucumber, lettuce, watermelon and melons. They have cooling properties. Drink enough water to stay hydrated but be cautious not to overdo it.

Topically, you can apply a paste of sandalwood powder and rosewater to your face, which has a soothing and cooling effect. Avoid harsh chemicals and stick to gentle, natural skincare routines. Regularly wash your face with lukewarm water to remove excess oil but avoid excessive washing, as it can strip your skin’s natural oils and increase oil production.

Lastly, stress management is critical, especially postpartum. Engage in mild yoga or simple breathing exercises to balance your mind and body. Balancing rest and activity is essential during this time for general well-being.

Given your symptoms of chest pain, it’s crucial to first rule out any critical medical conditions. Chest pain can be associated with heart or respiratory issues, and while Ayurveda can offer supportive insights, it’s vitally important that you consult with a healthcare provider to assess any urgent conditions that require immediate attention.

For contextual advice based on Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, oily skin and pimples can often be linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha. Pitta governs the body’s metabolic activities and is associated with heat and transformation. Post-pregnancy changes in your body could have influenced your dosha balance.

To help mitigate the excess Pitta, consider incorporating cooling and soothing elements into your diet and lifestyle. Eating foods that are naturally cooling, such as cucumber, cilantro, and green leafy vegetables, can help. Avoid excessively spicy, oily, or fried foods, as they may aggravate Pitta.

Maintaining a regular daily routine, or “Dinacharya,” can help balance doshas as well. Incorporate daily yoga or light exercise to promote circulation and reduce stress. Drinking water should be done throughout the day, but avoid overloading, especially when symptoms occur, indicating a potential imbalance of Vata dosha as well.

For skincare, you might opt for herbal pastes made with substances like sandalwood and turmeric, which help pacify Pitta and cleanse the skin. An oil or herb-infused facial steam could also assist in opening pores and cleansing impurities. However, remember that the root cause linked to chest discomfort needs immediate medical consultation and should not rely solely on home remedies.

​In Ayurveda, the approach to treating oily skin and pimples is based on the principle of balancing the body’s three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Oily skin and acne are often associated with an imbalance of the Pitta and Kapha doshas.

​Here are some common Ayurvedic remedies and practices for managing oily skin and pimples:

​Topical Remedies ​Neem: Neem is a powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herb. You can apply a paste made from neem leaves or neem powder mixed with water or rose water to the affected areas.

​Turmeric: Known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, turmeric can be used as a spot treatment. Mix turmeric powder with a little honey or water to form a paste and apply it to pimples.

​Sandalwood: Sandalwood has a cooling effect and is excellent for soothing inflamed skin. A paste made from sandalwood powder and rose water can help reduce redness and promote healing.

​Tulsi (Holy Basil): Tulsi is considered sacred in Ayurveda for its healing properties. A paste made from crushed tulsi leaves can be applied to the skin to treat acne and blemishes.

​Aloe Vera: Aloe vera gel is known for its cooling and healing properties. Applying fresh aloe vera gel can help reduce redness and promote skin repair.

​Honey: Raw honey has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Applying a thin layer of honey to your face can help control bacteria and oil.

​Dietary and Lifestyle Adjustments ​Ayurveda emphasizes that skin health starts from within. Adjusting your diet and lifestyle can play a significant role in managing oily skin and acne.

​Dietary Changes:

​Pitta-pacifying foods: Since acne is often linked to an aggravated Pitta dosha (associated with heat and inflammation), it’s recommended to eat cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, leafy greens, and coconut water

​Avoid Pitta-aggravating foods: Limit or avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods, as well as caffeine and alcohol, as they can increase internal heat and worsen acne. ​Increase water intake: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins from the body and keeps the skin hydrated.

​Herbal teas: Teas made from mint, coriander, or fennel can help detoxify the body and reduce inflammation.

​Stress Management: Stress is a known trigger for acne. Incorporating practices like yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises (pranayama) can help reduce stress and improve skin health.

​Proper Cleansing: Gently wash your face with a mild cleanser twice a day. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as this can irritate the skin and make acne worse. Using a cleanser with Ayurvedic herbs like neem or tulsi can be beneficial.

​Don’t pick or squeeze: Avoid picking or squeezing pimples, as this can lead to scarring and further inflammation.

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

Dr. 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 still kinda wrapping my head around how much has happned in just these last 8 months. I got to see over 500 patients—not just names on a file but real ppl with stories, symptoms that didn’t match books, and responses to treatment that taught me a lot more than classroom ever did. Every single case added something—sometimes confidence, sometimes doubt, but mostly clarity about why Ayurveda needs to be personal. That whole idea of root-cause isn’t just a phrase to me now, cause I’ve actually *done* the work of figuring it out—through prakriti reading, hetu analysis, tailoring herbs to that one stubborn thing that wouldn’t budge unless I got it right. Started off at the Govt Ayurveda Dispensary, Paingottoor (Mar-April 2024), juggling OPD and learning to keep things practical—what you *can* do with limited time and still follow classical line of treatment. Moved to Nellimattom next month, same OPD scene but somehow I felt more ready—like I knew what I was looking for during consultation. Then came the big shifts—District Ayurveda Hospital, Thodupuzha—Shalya Tantra for a month (May-June). Learning surgical concepts, wound management, minor procedures, all that opened up a whole diff layer of Ayurveda for me. After that was NARIP, Cheruthuruthy (June-July)—real-deal Panchakarma, hands-on, under ppl who *really* knew the texts and the techiques. I saw how deep detox can go when it’s done right. Then Shalakya Tantra (ENT + eye care, July-Aug)—very niche but suprisingly common complaints. By Sept I was at Sparsh Ayurvedic Clinic, Nellimattom, and that place blended modern diagnostics with our way of thinking. Helped me sharpen decisions fast, without losing authenticity of the classical tools. All that put together—it's shaped me into a doctor who listens more, assumes less, and keeps asking, "what’s *actually* causing this?” before reaching for a remedy. I want my patients to heal for real—not temporarily cope. That's the goal every single time.

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. 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. 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. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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.

Dr. Kirankumari Rathod
I am someone who kinda grew into Panchakarma without planning it much at first... just knew I wanted to understand the deeper layers of Ayurveda, not just the surface stuff. I did both my graduation and post-grad from Govt. Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital in Bangalore — honestly that place shaped a lot of how I think about healing, especially long-term healing. After my PG, I started working right away as an Assistant Professor & consultant in the Panchakarma dept at a private Ayurveda college. Teaching kinda made me realise how much we ourselves learn by explaining things to others... and watching patients go through their detox journeys—real raw healing—was where I got hooked. Now, with around 6 years of clinical exp in Panchakarma practice, I'm working as an Associate Professor, still in the same dept., still learning, still teaching. I focus a lot on individualised protocols—Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all and honestly, that’s what makes it tricky but also beautiful. Right now I’m also doing my PhD, it’s on female infertility—a topic I feel not just academically drawn to but personally invested in, cause I see how complex and layered it gets for many women. Managing that along with academics and patient care isn’t super easy, I won’t lie, but it kinda fuels each other. The classroom work helps my clinical thinking, and my clinical work makes me question things in research more sharply. There's a lot I still wanna explore—especially in how we explain Panchakarma better to newer patients. Many people still think it's just oil massage or some spa thing but the depth is wayyy beyond that. I guess I keep hoping to make that clarity come through—whether it’s in class or during a consult or even during a quick OPD chat.
