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.

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. 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. 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.

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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. 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.

I am working in the field of Ayurveda with special focus on surgical and para-surgical management, something that many people don’t usually expect Ayurveda to handle. Over the past 3 years and 7 months I gained clinical experience especially in anorectal disorders like piles, fissures and fistula, which often trouble patients silently until they become unbearable. These are conditions where Ayurveda offers very effective approaches, not only through medicines but also through para-surgical procedures. One such method is Ksharasutra therapy, a technique I practiced regularly, where medicated thread is used to treat fistula-in-ano and other chronic conditions. It is minimally invasive but require patience, regular follow up, and careful application. Similarly, I trained in Agnikarma, which uses controlled thermal cauterization for pain relief and management of small surgical conditions. Both of these methods are rooted in classical Ayurveda but highly relevant in modern surgical practice too. Alongside that, I also worked with various Panchakarma procedures—oleation, sudation, basti, virechana etc.—that support recovery, reduce inflammation and restore balance in patients undergoing surgical or para-surgical care. Many times, Panchakarma is not just therapy by itself but a preparatory or supportive process that makes outcomes more effective. Currently I am pursuing postgraduation in Shalya Tantra, the Ayurvedic branch of surgery. This allows me to deepen my understanding of both operative and para-operative techniques, while also staying rooted in the holistic principles of Ayurveda. It’s demanding, balancing study and practice, but it keeps me constantly improving. For me surgery in Ayurveda is not only about removing disease but about restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life without unnecessary complications. Each patient is different, and the treatment plan always need adjustment—it is never copy paste medicine. That is something I keep learning again and agian.

I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

I am an 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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
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.
