Dear one, Thank you for opening up and trusting me with what you’re going through. I want you to know you are not alone in this. What you’re facing with PCOD isn’t just physical; it’s something that touches your self-confidence, your emotions, and your everyday peace. And I completely understand how hard that can be the irregular periods, the facial hair, the sudden weight gain, acne, hair fall it can all feel unfair and overwhelming, especially when you’re just trying to live normally.

But here’s something I want to remind you of your body is not against you. It’s simply asking for help. Ayurveda sees PCOD as a deep imbalance of hormones, digestion, and emotions and the good news is that this can be corrected, gently and naturally, over time. There is a way forward that doesn’t rely on suppressing symptoms, but rather restores your body’s own intelligence and rhythm.

So let’s begin this journey with hope and a clear plan.

Step-by-Step Healing for PCOD (Ayurvedic Plan)

Phase 1: Clearing Toxins (First 5–7 days)

Right now, we must first calm your system and help your digestion work properly again.

Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp with warm water before meals (twice daily). This will help boost digestion and melt hormonal blockages. Punarnavadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water, twice a day before food. It helps to reduce swelling, puffiness, and internal water retention. Eat light, warm meals — like moong dal, lauki, red rice — and sip warm water through the day. Avoid dairy and sugar during this phase.

Phase 2: Hormonal Reset & Cycle Regulation (From Day 8 onward)

Rajapravartini Vati – 2 tablets at bedtime (promotes healthy menstrual flow) Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tablets after food, twice daily (shrinks cysts, balances hormones) Ashokarishta – 20 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (regulates periods and reduces pain) Shatavari Kalpa – 1 tsp with warm water in the morning (nourishes reproductive strength)

Phase 3: Skin, Hair & Emotional Balance

Manjishtha Churna – ¼ tsp with honey at night (purifies blood, clears acne and pigmentation) Bhringarajasava – 15 ml with water twice a day (for hair fall and scalp health) Apply Neelibhringadi oil 3x/week on scalp – massage gently and wash with mild herbal shampoo Drink 1 cup of spearmint tea daily – it naturally reduces facial hair by calming excess androgens

Daily Habits to Support Healing: Practice yoga or walk 30 minutes daily – even a gentle stretch helps your hormones Breathe deeply twice a day — try Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (10 mins daily) Eat your meals on time, don’t skip breakfast Sleep by 10:30 pm — your hormones repair while you sleep

Optional Investigations (if not done already) Ultrasound pelvis (to track cysts) LH, FSH, Prolactin, Testosterone Thyroid (TSH), Vitamin D, B12 HbA1c (to assess sugar-insulin balance)

This is not your fault. Your body has been trying to talk to you — through your skin, your periods, your hair — and now that you’re listening, everything can change. Be kind to yourself. Don’t rush. Even if it takes a few months, the healing will happen, and you’ll feel lighter, healthier, and more like yourself again.

Whenever you feel stuck, unsure, or tired of the journey just remember: you’re not alone. I’m here. This is what we do in Ayurveda we walk together until your body finds its balance again.

Take the first step your body will do the rest, beautifully.

Warmly, Dr. Karthika Ayurveda Consultant

HELLO BHAKTI,

You are likely Kapha-pitta predominant, which means your body naturally tends to gain weight, hold water, and have issues related to digestion and metabolism, especially if your lifestyle is sedentary or stressful

WHAT IS PCOD IN AYURVEDA? In Ayurveda, PCOD is described as a yoni vyapad(disorder of female reproductive system), especially “ARTAVA DUSHTI”(impure or disturbed menstrual blood). It mainly occurs due to -Kapha accumulation= blocked the channels and causes cysts -medo dhatu (fat tissue) imbalance - agni(digestive fire) is low- causing poor metabolism -Aama(toxins) formulation due to indigestion food

THIS CAUSES -irregular and painful periods -hormonal imbalance - obesity -hairfall/acne - mood swings/anxiety

TREATMENT GOALS -reduces excess kapha and meda(fat) -clears aama(toxins) and improve agni(metabolism) -balance hormones naturally - regulates menstrual cycle and reduce pain - calm the mind and reduce anxiety (Manas doshas)

Dr. Deepali Goswami
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.

Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD) as a manifestation of imbalances in doshas, primarily kapha and vata, requires a comprehensive approach in Ayurveda. This imbalance interrupts normal hormonal functions. For weight management, focus on enlivening the agni, the digestive fire. Incorporate a diet rich in fiber and low in processed foods. Favor fresh, warm, and unctuous foods such as cooked vegetables, lentils, and whole grains. Avoid cold, oily, and excessive sweet/heavy foods which aggravate kapha.

To address hairfall and acne, consider using Triphala powder (1 tsp at bedtime with warm water). It supports detoxification and balance. Applying a paste of turmeric and neem on acne-prone areas can help inflammation reduction. Shatavari can also be beneficial for hormonal balance, so consume its powder (1 tsp) with warm milk daily.

Pranayama and yoga, especially poses like Bhujangasana and Balasana, might support circulation and balance of hormones too. Stress management with meditation or gentle exercise is crucial, as stress can exacerbate symptoms.

For irregular periods, herbal formulations such as Ashoka and Lodhra can be helpful. Take these after consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner, since individual body types and conditions may differ. Regularity in your daily routine—meals, sleep, and activity—stabilizes vata, improving cycle regularity.

Be patient, Ayurveda works on gradual systemic healing. Persistent issues will benefit from consultation with a skilled practitioner, who can create a personalized plan addressing your specific dosha balance and any underlying health concerns.

To address PCOD through Ayurveda, understanding your unique prakriti (constitution) is crucial as you are experiencing multiple symptoms such as facial hair, hairfall, acne, weight gain, and irregular periods. These indicate potential imbalances in your doshas, particularly Kapha and Pitta.

Dietary Guidance: Start with a Kapha-Pitta pacifying diet to manage your symptoms. Prefer warm, light, and easily digestible foods. Prioritize whole grains like quinoa and barley, include plenty of green vegetables, and opt for fruits like apples and pears. Avoid processed foods, dairy, and refined sugars as they can exacerbate symptoms. Incorporating spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger can aid digestion and support metabolism.

Lifestyle Adjustments: Daily physical activity is not only vital but should be tailored to keep doshas in balance. Engage in light exercises such as yoga, brisk walking, or swimming at least 30 minutes a day. Practices such as meditation and pranayama can reduce stress, a common exacerbator of PCOD symptoms. Try to sleep early and rise with the sun to align your body rhythms.

Herbal Remedies: Consider herbal supplements that are traditionally used in Ayurveda such as Shatavari and Ashwagandha, these support hormonal balance and vitality. You can take 1 teaspoon of Triphala with warm water before bedtime to improve digestion and detoxify the body over time.

Routine and Consistency: Maintaining a regular daily routine supports overall hormonal balance. Try to have meals and sleep at the same times every day.

Observe and Adapt: Every few weeks, reassess how your body feels. If symptoms persist or worsen, further personalization of your plan may be necessary under guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner, especially for irregular periods which might need additional focus for proper hormonal regulation.

Consistency is essential, but don’t ignore any persisting or severe symptoms which might require medical evaluation beyond Ayurvedic therapies. Make sure to consult with a healthcare professional when needed.

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. Janvi Dhera
I am a doctor who completed CCH and CGO from Wadia hospital, and that training gave me exposure not just in theory but also in handling patients with very diverse needs. Over time I have treated many cases of chronic skin conditions, gut related disorders and also anorectal issues like piles, fissure and similar complaints. Each case felt different, no two patients respond the same way, and I learnt how to adapt treatment according to prakriti, diet habits, stress levels. Skin problems always catch attention first — psoriasis, eczema, acne that stays for years — but I understood that they often start from inside, from digestion or blood impurities. Gut issues like acidity, constipation, IBS are also common in my practice, and here small corrections in food timing or herbs can change a lot. Anorectal cases, especially piles and fissure, are painful both physically and mentally for patients, so I try to bring a treatment plan that is safe, non-invasive when possible, and focused on long term relief not just temporary fixes. Working with such variety of disorders also taught me patience. Some patients want fast results, but Ayurveda needs time to clean the root cause. I explain them carefully, sometimes repeating many times, that slow healing is stronger healing. Building that trust is important. My approach is always to combine herbal formulations, diet advice, and lifestyle correction with procedures when required, to ensure balance is restored and maintained. For me, Ayurveda is not a set of ready remedies but a flexible science that adapts to each person. Whether it’s skin, gut or anorectal problems, my focus stays on listening, understanding and guiding patients with clarity, honesty and steady support.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

Dr. Harsh Khandelwal
I am a fresher doctor stepping into practice with lot of curiosity and some nervousness too if i’m honest. My training gave me a foundation in Ayurveda principles, where health is not just the absence of illness but a balance between doshas, agni, dhatu & mind. I might not carry decades of expereince yet, but I hold patience and dedication which sometimes matter more than numbers. During study years I worked through cases of common disorders, watching how small changes in ahara-vihara and simple herbal formulations could transform patient comfort. It showed me that ayurveda is not about complicate plans but about restoring rhythm of body. I keep strong interest in musculoskeletal disorders like joint pain, stiffness, backache, where lifestyle corrections plus treatments like abhyanga, swedana and panchakarma therapies show amazing recovery. Also conditions of women health—PCOD, infertility, menstrual irregularities—are areas I want to focus deeply, as these affect daily living so much yet often stay under-discussed. I also learned about auto-immune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, aamavata, psoriatic arthritis, how tricky they are, and I feel motivated to study and treat them further with careful, step by step methods. As a fresher, I know my journey just starting. I am still shaping my skills, still questioning which approach work best, sometimes even re-checking basic things twice. But I believe this stage is also strength, because I come with open mind, no rigid habits, and eagerness to listen. I do not rush into decisions, rather I take time to observe each case, to connect symptoms with underlying dosha imbalance. I feel each patient teach something new and every treatment outcome is like a page added in my learning. I may not be perfect yet, but I am commited to honesty in my care, keeping focus on natural healing, preventive health, and respecting both modern diagnostics and traditional ayurveda wisdom. For me it is about building trust slowly, showing patients that even a fresher can hold responsibility with sincerity, and growing together step by step.

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.

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.

Dr. Harshal Sawarkar
I am an Ayurvedic doctor with 3 years of experince in Ayurved, working closely with patients who are looking for more natural and balanced ways to take care of thier health. I focus on classical Ayurvedic medicine and its practical use in everyday life, which is not always easy, but feels honest to me. During these years, I have been involved in patient consultation, basic diagnosis using Ayurvedic principles, and guiding people on lifestyle, diet, and routine based on dosha understanding. I am still learning every day, and sometimes I question my own approach, but that keeps me careful and attentive rather than rushed. Ayurveda for me is not a quick fix, and I dont pretend it is. My approach to patient care is simple and personal. I try to listen first, even when the problem sounds small or unclear. Many health issues are connected to digestion, stress, sleep, or habits we ignore, and Ayurvedic practice allows space to look at all of that together. I aim to explain things in a way that patients can actually follow, not just nod and forget later.. I work with holistic health concepts, preventive care, and natural healing methods rooted in traditional Ayurvedic knowledge. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes results surprise both me and the patient. I stay realistic, careful with advice, and I avoid overpromising. My goal is steady improvement and better understanding of the body, even if it takes time!

Dr. Shilpa Shijil
I am still learning how to describe myself without sounding too stiff, but I do feel that my personal and inter-personal skills shape a big part of how I work. I try to stay approachable and not make pts feel rushed, even on days when time is slipping fast. I listen first, maybe longer than needed sometimes, just to catch the small hints in their words or their silence. I end up absorbing a bit of their pain or worry too, and then I remind myself to stay focused so I can actually help them, not just feel it. I am seeing people as whole beings, not just their symptoms or test values, and that keeps my treatment more grounded. I explain things in simple ways, though I get tangled in my phrasing here and there, but I make sure they and their family know what we’re doing and why. I try to stay honest even when the truth is slow progess or a rough patch in the condition. I am pretty dedicated to ethical practice, sometimes to the point where I double-check a simple step, and I don’t mind spending extra time if it means the plan is right. I push myself to keep learning, reading, attending discussions, all without getting scared of criticism, though a harsh comment stings me for a bit. I enjoy public interaction too—talking to groups, answering doubts, explaining Ayurveda without overcomplicating it. I am still shaping these skills every day, but they guide me in giving care that feels human, steady and trustworthy, even on the messy days when I am juggling too many things at once.

Dr. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

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

Dr. Rajan soni
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.
