HELLO DEAR,

Your daughter has had digestive issues since infancy , and they have worsened since adolescence. These include -alternating diarrhoea and constipation -feeling lightheaded after meals -gas, bloating, and discomfort after eating -difficulty gaining weight or remaining underweight -possibly stress-sensitive gut symptoms (Like IBS)

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? Ayurveda sees this not as a disease of just the stomach, but of body-mind balance- especially of the vata and Pitta doshas

Digestive fie is disturbed -the digestive fire has become irregular or weak -sometimes it is too strong (leading to diarrhoea) or too low (leading to constipation) -this leads to Ama- undigested food/toxins accumulating in the gut

VATA IMBALANCE -gas, bloating, constipation, underweight, and lightheadedness are signs of high vata -vata controls movement, nerves, elimination- and when out of balance, causes irregular bowel movements and weakness

PITTA AGGRAVATION -diarrhea, burning or food intolerance point to high Pitta, which controls digestion, heat and metabolism

OVERALL, THIS IS A CASE OF -vata-pitta dushti with agni mandya (digestive weakness) and Ama formation, possibly grahani (IBS- like disorder)

TREATMENT GOALS -strengthen digestive fire -remove gut toxins -balance vata and pitta -nourish tissues -calm mind

INTERNAL TREATMENT

A) FOR IMPROVING DIGESTION AND REDUCING GAS

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals for 8 weeks =improves digestion, reduces gas and bloating

-TRIKATU CHURNA= 250 mg with honey after meals for 4 weeks =stimulates digestive system, reduces toxin

-JEERAKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals for 4 weeks =reduces bloating, regulates gut

B) FOR CONSTIPATION -TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =gentle laxative, clears toxins

C) FOR DIARRHEA EPISODES(WHEN NEEDED) -KUTAJARISHTA= 20ml with water twice daily during actute phase =stops diarrhea, heals intestines

D) FOR REBUILDING STRENGTH AND NOURISHMENT -DRAKSHARISHTA= 20 ml twice daily after meals for 8 weeks =improves appetite and weight gain

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE= WARM SESAME OIL =balances vata, strengthen the nervous system helps digestion followed by hot water shower

LIFESTYLE CHANGES These are just as important as medicines

DO -stick to regular routine (wake/sleep/eat at same times) -eat slowly, chew well, in a calm environment -rest briefly after meals (10-15 min sitting quietly) -use warm water throughout the day -practice self oil massage 3-4 times a week -maintain low stress- the gut is very sensitive to emotions

AVOID -cold, dry, leftover or raw foods -skipping meals or eating late -excessive screen time, especially while eating -overthinking, irregular sleep, or erratic habits -overuse of painkillers, antibiotics, or antacids

AVOID THESE FOODS -cold drinks, ice cream, raw salads -fermented foods- bread, cheese curd at night -legumes like rajma, chana, unless well cooked -too much spicy, fried, or sour foods -caffeine, carbonated drinks

INCLUDE -warm, freshly cooked foods -khichdi (rice+moong dal+ghee+cumin)- gentle , nourishing -steamed or sautéed vegetables with spices like cumin, fennel -stewed apple or pear in the morning great for digestion -sooups= carrot, pumpkin, ash gourd, spinach with milk spices -warm herbal teas- cumin, coriander, fennel or ginger

YOGA ASANA -pawanmuktasana= relieves gas -vajrasana= sit after meals for 10 min -marjariasana= improves gut motility -paschimottanasana= tones intestines -setu bandhasana= improves digestion

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= balances vata pitta -bhramari= calms mind and vagus nerve -sheetali= if pitta is high Practice on empty stomach

HOME REMEDIES

1) CUMIN-CORIANDER-FENNEL TEA= boil 1 tsp each in 2 cups water-> simmer 10 min-> sip warm

2) AJWAIN with black salt after meals- aids digestion

3) GINGER WITH LEMON AND HONEY (if no diarrhea)= improves appetite

4) BUTTERMILK (diluted curd) with cumin and mint- only at lunch time

5) Stewed apple with ghee and cardamom in the morning- soothes gut

Your daughters condition is manageable often reversible with consistent Ayurvedic care and lifestyle change. Modern medicine offers symptomatic relief, but Ayurveda works at the root -bu rebuilding digestion -removing toxins -balancing body and mind and -nourishing the body for long term health

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

WISHING A SPEEDY RECOVERY

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

hello CS namaste ,

Thank you for sharing this clearly and with concern. Based on your description, your daughter is suffering from a long-standing, chronic form of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) with gut-brain axis hypersensitivity, possibly rooted in early Vata imbalance due to assisted delivery (ventouse) and infantile colic.

The current symptoms alternating loose stool and constipation, post-meal bloating, gas, lightheadedness on walking, and low weight point towards:

Mandagni (weak digestive fire) Vishama Vata (irregular bowel movements, nervous system sensitivity) Chronic Apana Vata imbalance (governs digestion, elimination, and nourishment) Nutrient malabsorption leading to poor weight gain and energy drop.

Her digestion is weak and too sensitive. Whenever she eats, instead of feeling energy, her gut gets confused either it pushes food too fast (diarrhoea) or holds it too long (constipation). Because the nerves around digestion are also oversensitive, she feels bloated, heavy, or dizzy after eating. Her body isn’t absorbing the full nutrition from food, leading to underweight and tiredness.

Investigations (if not done recently): CBC, ESR Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12 Serum albumin & total protein (check nutrition levels) TSH (thyroid function) Stool routine + Calprotectin (to rule out IBD) Hydrogen breath test (for SIBO) – optional

Treatment Plan

1. Ama Pachana (First 5 Days) To remove built-up toxins and rekindle digestion: Shunthi Churna (dry ginger powder) – ¼ tsp with warm water, before meals, twice daily Bilwadi Churna – ½ tsp after meals with warm water, twice daily Light diet: moong dal soup, cooked rice, pomegranate, cumin–ajwain water

2. Internal Medicines (From Day 6 onwards) Focus on gut lining repair, bowel regulation, and nourishment: Kutajghan Vati – 2 tabs after meals (for loose stools and bowel balance) Dadimashtaka Churna – ½ tsp with honey after meals (helps digestion and builds strength) Sutshekhar Ras (Plain) – 1 tab twice daily after food (for bloating and acidity) Ashwagandhadi Lehyam – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (to gain weight, reduce anxiety)

3. Lifestyle and Diet Guidelines Small frequent meals – every 3–4 hours Avoid raw vegetables, milk, fried and packaged food Eat slowly, chew well, no walking after meals Cumin–ajwain–fennel tea after meals helps bloating Warm oil massage (Abhyanga) with Bala Ashwagandha Taila once or twice weekly Light evening walk only after 1 hour post meal Daily Nadi Shodhana Pranayama 10 minutes morning and night

Does she have food intolerances (milk, gluten, etc.)? Any emotional triggers like anxiety, stress, or menstrual irregularities? Is her appetite strong, moderate, or poor?

She can improve with consistent, gentle support. No harsh detox or strong medicines are needed. Her system needs balancing, grounding, and nourishment not suppression. You’re right in looking for a root-based approach…

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Addressing your daughter’s GI issues from an Ayurvedic perspective, we’ll aim to balance her digestive system and overall dosha alignment. She might be experiencing a vata imbalance, given symptoms like bloating, gas, alternating diarrhea and constipation, and pronounced weight loss. Our focus will be on soothing vata and stabilizing her digestive fire, or agni.

For her diet, favor warm, cooked foods which are easier to digest to prevent further vata aggravation. Grains like rice and wheat, and root vegetables like sweet potatoes or carrots are grounding. Incorporate gentle spices such as cumin, ginger, and fennel to kindle agni. These spices can be added to meals or taken as a tea post meals to aid digestion.

Encourage regular small meals, spaced 3-4 hours apart to prevent overwhelming her system. Sip warm water through the day; cold beverages can disrupt agni. Eating mindfully, without distractions, will also support digestion.

For lifestyle, establishing a routine with consistent waking, eating, and sleeping times harmonizes vata. Light exercises like yoga or walking can be beneficial, but she should avoid walking immediately after meals to prevent lightheadedness. Instead, advise sitting quietly for 15-20 minutes post meals.

Abhyanga, or oil massage, using warm sesame oil, could help reduce vata and promote relaxation. She might perform this daily before bath. Since underweight is an issue, ensure she indulges in nourishing activities that encourage calmness such as meditation or pranayama.

Her symptoms, though chronic, may benefit from these changes, but due to their persistence and severity professional medical assesesment must not be dismissed. Consult an Ayurvedic physician who can provide tailored treatment, possibly integrating panchakarma therapy, if necessary.

The symptoms your daughter experiences suggest an imbalance primarily in vata dosha, but there may be involvement of pitta and kapha as well. The key here will be to calm her digestive system and rebalance the doshas. Start by focusing on her diet and daily habits.

She should aim for warm, cooked, easily digestible foods, such as soups, stews, and well-cooked grains like rice and quinoa. Avoid raw foods, cold beverages, caffeinated drinks, and processed foods as these can aggravate vata. Spices like cumin, coriander, and ginger can be helpful to enhance digestion. Encourage her to eat at regular, consistent times to stabilize her digestive rhythm.

Considering her lightheadedness and low weight, try to include grounding foods like sweet potatoes, squash, and healthy fats such as ghee can assist in nourishing the tissues and reducing vata. Small, frequent meals may work better for her rather than large meals. Eating in a calm environment without rushing will also help.

Creating a daily routine of light activities, such as morning walks or simple yoga, can help improve her digestion and circulation, but advise her not to engage in vigorous activities immediately after meals. An herbal tea made from fennel or peppermint post-meal could aid in reducing bloating and gas.

She might benefit from taking a gentle herbal formulation such as triphala before bed to support regular bowel movements. However, any supplements should be approached cautiously, and it’s important to have them supervised by an Ayurvedic practitioner familiar with her full health profile.

For the severity and long-term nature of her condition, ensuring she is monitored by a healthcare professional is necessary. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is crucial to seek medical attention to rule out any serious underlying conditions, which can coincide with IBS-related symptoms.

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 CS,

Patient Information: A 24-year-old woman who has had severe IBS since she was 16 is underweight, has gas, bloating after meals, lightheadedness when walking after eating, and alternates between constipation and diarrhea.

Herbal Therapy: About half an hour before going to bed, take one teaspoon (three to five grams) of triphala powder with warm water. It cleanses the digestive tract and regulates the bowels gently.

Ajwain (carom seeds): To relieve gas and bloating, boil 1 teaspoon of seeds in 1 cup of water, strain, and drink warm after meals. As an alternative, it also helps to chew a few ajwain seeds after meals.

Add 1 to 2 grams of shatavari powder to warm milk or water twice a day. It promotes digestion and nourishes the lining of the stomach.

One-half teaspoon of licorice powder or wice a day with warm water to reduce inflammation in the gut. If blood pressure is elevated, use with caution.

One teaspoon of ashwagandha powder (or 250–500 mg capsule) should be taken once or twice a day, ideally in the morning with warm milk. It enhances strength and digestion while lowering stress.

Dietary Guidelines: Kitchari (rice and mung dal) and cooked vegetables are examples of small, warm, easily digestible meals. Add one teaspoon of ghee every day to help with digestion and lubrication. After meals, ginger tea can help with gas reduction and digestion stimulation. Steer clear of caffeine and alcohol, as well as cold, raw, fried, spicy, and processed foods. Steer clear of heavy meals, particularly at night.

Changes in Lifestyle: Steer clear of cold or iced beverages and sip warm water throughout the day. To balance Vata dosha and soothe the nervous system, do gentle yoga and pranayama every day, paying particular attention to Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing). Keep regular mealtimes, refrain from missing meals or having late dinners, and walk lightly after meals rather than doing vigorous exercise right away.

Extra Advice: If herbal treatments are well tolerated, start with smaller dosages and work your way up. Because of the underweight condition, harsh detox or cleansing methods should be avoided. For pulse diagnosis and individualized treatment, it is imperative to see a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner on a regular basis. Keep an eye out for any negative reactions or herb allergies.

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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

I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

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. 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.

Dr. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.
