hello Mrs. shah, Your symptoms dry eyes, dry mouth, body aches, and fatigue strongly resemble Sjögren’s Syndrome, even if it’s not yet confirmed in reports. It is common for autoimmune diseases like Sjögren’s to take time to show positive in blood tests, especially in early stages. Still, your body is clearly indicating systemic dryness (rukshata) and vata-pitta aggravation along with probable immune dysregulation.

Explanation (in simple terms):

Your body’s internal moisture like tears and saliva is drying up. This leads to friction in the joints (causing pain), weakness, and a tired feeling. It’s like your internal “oil” has reduced. The dryness is due to imbalance of Vata dosha (which causes drying and degeneration) and Pitta (which increases heat and inflammation). Even if lab reports are not fully conclusive, Ayurveda treats based on symptoms and imbalance, not just diagnosis labels.

Investigations to be Confirmed/Repeated if not done recently:

ANA (Antinuclear antibody) Anti-Ro/SSA & Anti-La/SSB antibodies ESR, CRP (for inflammation) Schirmer’s Test (eye moisture) Vitamin D, B12 levels Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4 – autoimmune links)

Treatment Plan

Ama Pachana (Detox & Agni Deepana – 5 days)

Shunthi Churna (Dry ginger powder) – ¼ tsp with warm water before meals – twice a day Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp after meals – once a day Warm water sip every hour + light diet (moong soup, rice gruel, pomegranate)

Internal Medications

Rasnadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 45 ml warm water – twice daily before food Ksheerabala 101 (Capsule or Avarti) – 1 cap twice a day after food Ashwagandha Arishtam – 15 ml with equal water after meals – twice daily Gandharvahastadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water at bedtime – supports gut and joint function

External Treatments (if accessible): Abhyanga (oil massage) with Balaashwagandhadi Taila – daily or alternate days Swedana (mild steam) to body after oil massage Anjana for dry eyes with Saptamrita Lauha powder mixed in honey – under doctor’s supervision

Strictly avoid cold, dry, and raw foods Add ghee in diet – 1 tsp daily Avoid fasting, spicy, or overly salty food Gentle yoga and breathing – 10 mins daily (focus on balance and calm)

Do your symptoms worsen in the evening or at night? Have you had recurrent mouth ulcers or dental issues along with dryness?

This condition can be managed effectively through Ayurvedic support by nourishing the tissues, reducing dryness, and calming immune overactivity. Results may not be instant, but gradual consistency can bring significant improvement.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy.

In Ayurveda, Sjogren’s Syndrome, characterized by dryness and inflammation, is understood through the lens of Vata and Pitta dosha imbalances, leading to disruptions in the body’s moisture-producing glands (rasa, rakta dhatu) and channels (strotas). Ayurvedic management focuses on restoring balance through dietary and lifestyle modifications, along with therapies like Basti and Shaman Aushadhis.  Ayurvedic Perspective on Sjogren’s Syndrome: Dosha Imbalance: Sjogren’s is primarily seen as a Vata and Pitta imbalance, with Vata’s dryness (Rukshata) and Pitta’s inflammation (Sthanvaigunya) being prominent.  Strotas Involvement: The syndrome affects various bodily channels (strotas), including Rasavaha, Raktavaha, and Udakavaha, impacting the flow of rasa (essence of digestion) and rakta (blood).  Aama Formation: The condition is also linked to Aama (toxins) formation due to impaired digestion and metabolism.  Shushkaakshipaka Shushkaakshipaka is a Vata-pittaja, Sarvagata netra vikara that matches the clinical picture of dry eyes disease and can be called as a disease caused mainly due to increased Rukshata in eyes. This
increased Rukshata due to Dhula, dhuma, Raja sevan and other Samanya hetus of Netra rogas leads to Prakopa of Vata dosha alone previously. However, as the Hetu sevan continues even Pitta dosha gets involved and results into a deeper Dosha-dushti involving all 5 Mandalas where in there is Rukshata

Treatment: Samhitas mention oral as well as local
treatment modalities for Shushkaakshipaka. Oral
treatment includes Ghrutpana as first line of treatment. Snehana, Swedana, Snigdha Nasya,
Snehana Anjana, Tarpan, Putapaka are some of local remedies that will decrease the Rukshata of ocular surface.Administration of Ksheer Basti in treatment of Shushkaakshipaka is also adviced

1) jeevantyadi ghrita -2tsf after food 2 times a day with warm water for 15 day

Since Sjogren syndrome is auto immune, you will get relief from your problem, but need to continue -Include antioxidant like Omega -3 fatty acids and vitamin E in diet. - if you are non vegetarian then include fish which is rich in fish oil like sardines, Tuna - Food rich in oil like Avacado, walnut, peanuts, sesame almonds are good to be included in your diet Doing Basti in a nearby ayurvedic centre will benefit you Abhyangam - oil massage on body . will also help you. Oil pulling with sesame oil Treatment you can take Guduchiadi kashayam 30ml. With water before lunch Panchtiktagrit 10ml. With warm milk before breakfast Kishore guggul 1-0-1 after food with water

HELLO MRS SHAH,

WHAT IS SJOGREN’S SYNDROME? -It is an autoimmune condition- meaning your body’s own immune system starts attacking its own healthy glands and tissues, especially the glands that produce moisture (saliva and tears).This leads to -dryness of mouth -dryness of eyes -sometimes fry skin, joint pain, fatigue, body ache

It usually affects middle-aged women, often around or after menopause. It can occur alone or along with other autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus

Ayurveda sees this condition as a combination of -vata pitta imbalance -shosha= meaning drying up or wasting of tissues -rasa dhatu kshaya= the first essential fluid of the body is weakened -Ojas kshaya= the body’s vitality and immunity are reduced -affected tissues: Eyes(Netra), mouth (much), joints (sandhi), and snayu (ligaments/tendons) It is chronic and systemic issue, needing a long term holistic approach, not just symptoms control

GOALS OF TREATMENT -restore natural moisture in eyes, mouth, joints -strengthen immunity without overstimulation -nourish body tissues (especially rasa, mamsa, and Ojas) -reduce dryness, fatigue, body pain -prevent further complications -balance vata and Pitta doshas gently and consistently

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) GUDUCHI GHANVATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =booosts immunity, reduces inflammation gently

2) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 cap at night with warm milk 500mg =rebuilds strengthen, reduces fatigue, vata pacifying

3) SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with warm milk in evening =deep tissue nourishment, especially for dryness

4) SAPTAMRIT LAUH= 2 tabs after meals =improves vision, reduces eye dryness, antioxidants

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =for urinary tract dryness, glandular balance

6) SIMHANADA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals = for joint stiffness, body aches

DURATION= continue for 2-3 months. Results are slow but sustainable

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= USE BALA TAILA- full body, 20 mins before bath 4 times/week =improves circulation, joint stiffness, nourishes dry skin

2) NASYA= 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostrils daily in morning after steam =clears dryness of nose, eyes, head, improves tear secretions

3) NETRA TARPANA= eye rejuvination with triphala ghrita =relieves dry eyes, strengthens optic nerves

4) KARNA PURANA= 3 drops of bala Taila in each ear once a week =supports nervous system and vata balance

HOME REMEDIES

1) ALOE VERA JUICE= 15ml daily on empty stomach- moistens tissues

2) LICORICE TEA= soothes dry throat, balances immunity

3) SOAKED ALMONDS= 5-6 daily in morning- nourishes tissues

4) GHEE- 1 tsp daily in food or milk- excellent natural moisturizer

5) WARM SESAME OIL- oil pulling in morning (2-3 min)- helps with dry mouth

6) COCONUT WATER + DRY DATES (OVERNIGHT SOAKED)= increases moisture, energy

7) STEAM INHALATION with tulsi water- relieves nasal and eye dryness

YOGA AND PRANAYAM- DAILY PRACTICE (15-30 MIN) -Bhujangasana= improves circulation, tones glands -Marjariasana= relieves spinal stiffness -Balasana= relieves fatigue, calms nerves -Setu bandhasana= strengthens pelvic and digestive organs -Viparita karani= gentle inversion, calming, lymph flow

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= balances vata and pitta -Bhramari= calms nervous system -Sheetali= moistens mucosa, cools pitta

DIET -warm, soft, moist foods -ghee, rice, green gram , milk, fresh seasonal fruits -cooked vegetables -almonds, dates, figs, raisins soaked -turmeric,cumin, coriander, fennel- gentle spices -herbal teas- tulsi, yashtimadhu, ginger

AVOID -dry, cold, stale foods -excess tea, coffee -sour, spicy, fried food -processed snacks, bakery, sugar -excess wheat, maida, non veg if digestion is weak

-Autoimmune diseases like Sjogren’s are chronic and require patience and consistency -Ayurveda does not focus on just “killing symptoms” , but gently nurtures and rebuilds your immunity, moisture, and energy overtime -You may not feel dramatic changes in 1 week, but over 4-8 weeks, dryness, fatigue, and stiffness will reduce steadily

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Given the symptoms you’ve described, focusing on balancing your doshas and supporting the body’s natural hydration and immune functions can be very helpful. Ayurveda may complement your existing treatment. Sjogren-like symptoms such as dry mouth and eyes can hint at a Vata-Pitta imbalance, possibly driven by drying and heating qualities.

First, consider your diet. Favoring a Vata-Pitta pacifying diet which is rich in grounding, nourishing, and oozing properties may provide some comfort. Include warm, cooked foods like soups and stews that soothe and hydrate. Ghee is fantastic for the dryness, you might want to incorporate a teaspoon daily into your meals if your digestion is alright. Avoid overly spicy, salty, and dry foods, as they can aggravate Vata-Pitta doshas.

Hydration is key here, so include plenty of fluids like herbal teas, especially with cooling herbs like fennel or coriander. Cumin, coriander, and fennel tea can help ease digestion and support hydration while balancing Pitta. Sip lukewarm water throughout the day in small quantities - too much at once might dampen Agni, your digestive fire.

For dry eyes, consider Triphala eye wash. Soak a teaspoon of Triphala powder in a cup of water overnight, strain it in the morning and use the liquid to gently rinse your eyes.

Regarding dry mouth, chew on cloves or a few fennel seeds post meals, which stimulates saliva production and aids with digestion. These could provide some natural relief.

Yoga and gentle pranayama - focus on calm, grounding practices without excessive heat - can stabilize Vata and ease muscular discomfort and weakness. Regularly practicing gentle yoga postures like Balasana (Child’s Pose) can be very grounding.

Consult with your healthcare provider before implementing these, especially since current medical treatments are ongoing. They will help ensure that these natural remedies won’t interfere with your treatment plan, keeping your safety as the priority.

Looking at your symptoms, it seems relevant to consider your dosha imbalance, primarily vata, which may be causing the dryness and weakness. In Siddha-Ayurvedic practice, addressing vata is crucial in such conditions. Here are some approaches you can explore to find relief:

Begin by incorporating warming, grounding foods into your diet. Favor cooked, moist foods that are naturally sweet, sour, and salty, and include ingredients like ghee and oils that can help lubricate the tissues. Avoid raw, cold, and dry items. This dietary shift can bolster both agni and the dhatus, strengthening the body’s reserves against the dryness.

Nasya (nasal oil application) could be beneficial in managing dry eyes and dry mouth. Consider using medicated oils like Anu taila, applying 1-2 drops in each nostril every morning on an empty stomach. This practice helps in nourishing ‘ojas’ and balancing vata in the body’s upper channels, aiding in moisture retention.

Perform gentle abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil, followed by a warm bath. Doing this daily can help reduce body aches and weakness by pacifying vata and nourishing the bodily tissues.

For herbal support, explore ashwagandha and shatavari, which can rejuvenate the body, enhancing strength and moisture. Dosage should be guided by an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure safe and effective use based on your constitution.

Lastly, consider pranayama, specifically anulom-vilom, and meditation to help calm the mind and reduce stress, which can exacerbate vata imbalance. Pay attention to adequate rest and maintain a balanced schedule to avoid overexertion.

If your symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a healthcare professional is essential for further exploration and treatment, especially since proper diagnosis and monitoring may necessitate more specialized care.

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. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. 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. 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. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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. 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. 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. 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 currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

I am someone who really got to learn *a lot* during my time as a resident at NIA Hospital. I was mostly handling general med cases—like, fevers, infections, respiratory flares, weird digestion stuff—and also got into skin & hair issues pretty deep too. Acne, pigmentation, dandruff, chronic eczema flare-ups, hair fall—things that seem basic but honestly can wreck a person’s confidence if you don’t treat them right (or explain ‘em properly). I spent a lotta time observing senior docs, especially when cases got tricky. And I tried to really get better at that thing where you're not just treating what's obvious—but actually going after why it’s happening. That meant paying attention to patient history, asking questions ppl sometimes didn’t even think were related—like stress or food habits—and then building a plan that wasn’t just "apply this cream" or "take this med." In a bunch of skin & hair conditions, it’s the chronicity that wears ppl down. I saw that up close. So I started focusing more on customising treatments... like figuring out not just the product or med, but also talking through skincare steps, diet shifts, triggers, maintenance plans that make sense for *that* person. Sometimes things work fast, but tbh sometimes it’s slow and frustrating—but if you keep adapting, ppl notice. Also learnt to explain stuff better—without too much jargon, just in plain words that help ppl trust their own recovery. Preventive care was a big thing too—telling someone how to avoid flare-ups before they start. Whether it’s sugar, stress, or skipping routine... it all adds up. That phase in NIA really pushed me to think wider—not just what's the diagnosis, but what’s the right mix of care that'll actually stick and heal. It made me want to practice in a way where I keep seeing the full person, not just the problem. Still trying to keep that going every single day.
