I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

Hi Srishti, Back pain worsening with dieting could be due to low calorie or nutrient intake. Bloating from raw veggies or salads is common.

- Lightly steamed vegetables are easier to digest. - You can include boiled eggs, paneer, chicken, fish, moong Dal in your diet.

- You can do some gentle movements to reduce bloating and stiffness like pelvic tilts. Also do pavanamuktasana, vajrasana, cobra pose. If possible dosuryanamaskara every day.

1. Triphala choornam 1 tsp at night with warm water. 2. Dhanwantaram tailam for external application for back pain.

My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches.

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.

HELLO SRISHTI,

From what you’ve described, your bloating could be due to a combination of dietary changes, aggravated digestion, and aggravated vata dosha

1) WARM WATER THERAPY -sip warm water throughout the day.avoid cold or iced drinks completely -add pinch of ajwain + saunf while boiling

2) DIGESTIVE HERAL TEA (twice daily) after meals, drink -1/4 tsp jeera -1/4 tsp ajwain -1/4 tsp fennel =boil in 1 cup water, reduce to half, sip warm

3) AVOID RAW SALADS (for now) -raw veggies can worsen vata-> more gas and bloating -lightly steam vegetables or have warm soups instead

4) VATA PACIFYING DIET -khichdi (rice+ moong dal with hing, ginger, cumin)- perfect or bloating -buttermilk with roasted jeera powder- improves gut flora -avoid= cabbage, cauliflower, beans, raw onions, fried food

5) WARM OIL MASSAGE -daily warm castor oil massage on back + belly 10 mins -follow with warm compress or bath

6) AYURVEDIC MEDICATIONS

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals

-SHANKHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals

-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water to relieve constipation

THANK YOU

HELLO SRISHTI,

MAIN COMPLAINTS -severe bloating of the abdomen -back pain, worsening with dieting -inability to exercise, possibly leading to more gas and stiffness -on a raw diet(salads and veggies), but it’s not helping0 in fact worsening.

Your condition seems to be a combination of -Agnimandya (weak digestion) -Vata Pradhan tridosha imbalance, especially vata aggravation -Possibly Apana vata vitiation- causing bloating, gas retention, constipation -Associated dhatukshaya (depletion of tissues) due to undernourishment -back pain may be due to vata affecting asthi dhatu (bones/spine)

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify vata dosha= reduce gas, pain, dryness, instability -strengthen agni(digestive fire)= proper breakdown and assimilation of food -Reduce Ama (toxins)= eliminate undigested food residue causing bloating -Nourish body tissues= rebuild strength and reduce back pain -Improve apana vata flow= support elimination and reduce abdominal distention -Avoid further vata vitiation= prevent worsening of pain and digestive issues

INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -Ultrasound abdomen= check for gas pockets, ovarian cysts, gallbladder issues, or fibroids -Stool test= rule out infection, parasites -Blood test(CBC, ESR, Vitamin D, B12)= detect deficiencies , inflammation -Lumbosacral spine X-ray= assess spinal degeneration or nerve impingement -Thyroid panel= rule out hypothyroidism, which can cause bloating and fatigue

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water after meals for 4 weeks =reduces bloating, stimulates digestion

2) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp before meals with ghee for 3 weeks =improves agni, reduces ama

3) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp at bedtime with warm water =regulates pitta, reduces bloating

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water at bedtime =detooxification bowel regulation

5) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily for 6 weeks =balances vata, reduces back inflammation

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) CASTOR OIL PACK ON ABDOMEN = soak cloth in warm castor oil, place on tummy, cover with hot water bag =reduces bloating and soothes vata

2) APPLY HING PASTE (hing+water) on navel= keep for 10-15 mins =reduce gas

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED

AVOID -raw salads, uncooked vegetables -gas- forming dals= chana, rajma, urad -dry snacks , bread, biscuits -cold water, carbonated drinks -overeating or long fasting

FAVOUR -warm, moist, cooked meals -khichdi (moong dal + rice + ghee + spices like cumin, ginger) -soups= carrot , pumpkin, moong soups with ghee and hing -vegetables= bottle gourd, pumpkin, ash gourd, zucchini- well cooked -spices= cumin, ajwain, hing, ginger, black pepper -buttermilk with roasted cumin ad rock salt improves digestion

HOME REMEDIES

HERBAL TEAS 1) cumin-fennel-coriander tea= 1 tsp each boiled in 2 cups water-> reduce to 1 cup. drink warm twice daily

2) Ajwain+pinch of black salt-> chew post meals

GHEE THERAPY -start day with 1 tsp warm ghee on an empty stomach- if digestion is not too weak -lubricates gut, pacifies vata, improves elimination

WARM LEMON-GINGER-HONEY DRINK -stimulates digestion gently

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -regular meal timings= balance digestive fire, avoid digestive confusion -eat slowly, chew thoroughly= reduces gas production -don’t talk while eating= reduces air swallowing -sit quietly after meals for 5-10 mins= helps apana vata to flow downward -sleep early, rise early= strengthens metabolism and reduces vata -warm water throughout day= improves digestion, flushes ama -avoid excessive mental stress = directly increases vata dosha

YOGA ASANA -pawanmuktasana= with knee support -supta matsyendrasana= aids digestion -balasana=gentle spinal stretch -setu bandhasana=strengthens back

avoid forward bends or strong twists if back pain is severe

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom=balances vata and calms nervous system -bhramari= reduces stress -deep diaphragmatic breathing= massages abdominal organs

-Don’t crash diet or fast when vata is high- it worsens both bloating and back pain -Healing your digestion is the first priority. Once your gut stabilises, you’ll feel lighter and more energetic -your condition is reversible with a gentle, consistent, nourishing approach -Strength comes from balance, not from restriction. Let your food be warm, spiced and simple

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

The bloating you’re experiencing, especially along with dietary changes and back pain, could be attributed to several factors in Ayurveda, notably a disrupted balance in your Vata dosha. When Vata is aggravated, it can lead to digestive issues like bloating. Let’s focus on addressing this imbalance while being mindful of your back pain and dietary needs.

Firstly, since exercise is challenging, consider incorporating simple, gentle yoga poses that do not strain your back. Poses like Vajrasana (Thunderbolt pose), which can be done post meals for a few minutes, are known in Ayurveda to aid digestion. Ensure any movement is slow and controlled, and ideally guided by a professional.

Looking at your diet, while vegetables and salads are valuable, raw foods can sometimes increase Vata in certain constitutions, leading to bloating. Try lightly steaming your vegetables so they are easier to digest. Also, introduce warming spices like ginger, cumin, fennel and asafoetida (hing) into your meals. These spices not only enhance digestion but also help to reduce gas. A cup of warm, ginger herbal tea post-meal may also help soothe your digestive system.

It’s also crucial to establish a regular eating pattern to stabilize Vata. Consuming meals at the same times daily without skipping can enhance your agni (digestive fire).

For your back pain, an external application of warm Mahanarayana or Sesame oil could be beneficial. Gently massage it onto your back, promoting circulation and warmth, ideally under supervision to avoid complications. Consider consulting a physiotherapist to identify any specific triggers and safe exercises.

If your diet change is aggravating your back pain, it might indicate nutritional deficiencies (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium), your body requires more than just salads. Balanced diet, including whole grains, good fats like ghee, olive oil, and proteins are vital, ensure your diet is nourishing.

Lastly, hydration is key. Sometimes bloating can be associated with inadequate water intake. Warm water sipped throughout the day can remedy this and also aid in digestion.

If these approaches do not provide relief or if symptoms worsen, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional who can offer personalized guidance tailored to your unique health needs.

Bloating can often be linked to poor digestion and imbalanced doshas, commonly vata imbalance especially if back pain is involved. First, pay attention to your eating habits. Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly can ease the digestion process. Though you are focusing on vegetables and salads, raw food might be aggrevating the vata dosha. Consider cooking your vegetables to make them easier on your digestive system. Warm, cooked meals can soothe both bloating and back pain.

Introduce carminative herbs like ajwain (carom seeds) and hing (asafoetida) in your cooking. These are known to help with digestion and reducing bloating. A pinch of hing in your meals or a warm ajwain tea can stimulate digestion. Moreover, fennel (saunf) after meals can further ease your stomach.

Address your hydration, but avoid cold drinks; opt for warm water assists in digestion and pacifying vata. In the morning, have a cup of warm water mixed with lemon and a pinch of salt to awaken and balance agni, the digestive fire.

Given your back pain, consider gentle yoga poses like pawanmuktasana or supta matsyendrasana, which don’t exert your back but can assist in releasing gas and reducing bloating.

Monitor your diet and its effect on agni carefully. If symptoms persist or if there’s a significant aggravation in the back pain, consulting an holistic practitioner or healthcare professional is important. Balancing lifestyle and diet while respecting your body’s needs is critical.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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 Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. Arpita Bhaskar
I am an Ayurvedia practioner who’s kinda always drawn to healing things the natural way... herbs, lifestyle shifts, that deeper root-cause thing—ya that’s where I feel connected. I’ve done my graduation in BAMS from Government Ayurveda College, Jabalpur, MP. Those years were tough and full of grind but it gave me this solid, like really solid, foundation in classical Ayurvedic sciences. And yeah, not just bookish... real world side of it too. Now my focus honestly is to keep learning while helping real people—who come in with digestion problems or hormonal mess or mental stress or even chronic fatigue they can’t explain. Every case is diff, even if symptoms look same outside. That part makes me stop and look closer—what is vitiated? What system is overworking or under? My mind instantly shifts into that mode, trying to trace the imbalance and realign it without suppressin anything. Right now I’m still early in the field, but every patient, every prakriti I see adds a layer to how I understand dis-ease. I don’t rush, mostly just try to listen first... ppl are usually surprised when you sit n listen without cutting them off mid sentence. I don’t claim to fix everything but I do keep that long-term goal in mind—healing that lasts beyond just medicine course. My interest stays rooted in ahar, vihar, and herbal chikitsa. Working with traditional herbs in customized way, not some one-size-fits-all type. I feel Ayurveda demands patience, and yeah, I’m okay with that. Cuz body speaks when we slow down. And that’s what I try to bring in my work—space to slow down, observe, correct gently. Of course I mess up sometimes or miss smth small.. but I reflect and adjust. It’s all part of the practice. I wanna grow steady, keep that fire for real healing alive. This path’s not loud, but it’s deep. And I’m here for it.

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. 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. 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.
