I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

HELLO MILI,

You’re experiencing symptoms like -brethlessness -anxiety, overthinking, racing thoughts -low motivation, mental fog -digestive/metabolic weakness as seen in fatty liver -feeling both mentally exhausted and physically heavy In Ayurveda, this points to a vata kapha imbalance

WHAT ARE VATA AND KAPHA?

VATA= qualities- dry, light, cold, mobile when imbalanced= anxiety, breathlessness, restlessness, insomnia

KAPHA= qualities- heavy, slow, moist, stable =fatty liver, sluggishness, low motivation, mental dullness

Due to chronic stress and irregular lifestyle, your vata (which controls mind, nerves, breath) became aggravated . over time, this weakened your digestion (agni) which allowed kapha to accumulate- especially I liver and mind

This is like wind(vata) stirring up mud (kapha) in a pond. The water (mind/body) becomes cloudy ,heavy, and restless

TREATMENT GOAL -calm and stabilize vata (mind and nerves) -clear excess kapha(heaviness,fatty tissue, stagnation) -rekindle agni(digestive and metabolic fire) -support liver health and reduce fatty deposits -balance mind using sattvik practices -improve overall prana (life force, breath)

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 500 mg twice daily with warm milk =calms anxiety, strengthens nerves, balances vata

2) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab with warm water at bedtime =relaxes mind, supports memory and sleep

3) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =detoxifies gut, improves liver function, reduces kapha

4) PUNARNAVA MANDOOR= 1 tab twice daily after meals =reduces water retention, supports liver, improves metabolism

5) BHUMYAMALAKI CHURNA= 1/ tsp capsule twice daily after meals =treats fatty liver, supports bile flow

6) SITOPALADI CHURNA + YASHTIMADHU= 1/2 tsp each with honey once daily =eases breathlessness , strengthen lungs

DURATION= 3 months minimum

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= MAHANARANAYAN TAILA =calms vata, improves circulation, reduces anxiety thrice / week ,morning before bath

2) NASYA= 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril every morning =clears prana pathway, improves mentall clarity , relieves anxiety

LIFESTYLE AND DAILY HABITS

DO -wake up before 7 am -stick to regular sleep/wake/eating times -oil massage regularly -keep body warm, avoid fans/cold exposure -use calming smells (lavender, sandalwood) -speak less, avoid overstimulation -walk in nature -use warm colours, cozy blankets, and a peaceful space

AVOID -cold water and foods -skipping meals -eating late at night -excessive social media/screen time -staying up late -overthinking or multitasking

DIET -warm, moist, lightly spiced food -cooked vegetables lauki, spinach, carrots -mung dal, red rice, barley -homemade ghee in small amount -ginger, turmeric, black pepper -buttermilk (diluted with water, cumin) -herbal teas= cumin-coriander-fennel, ginger, brahmi

AVOID -cold, dry, raw foods salad, smotthies -oily, fried, packaged food -heavy dairy, cheese, curd at night -white sugar, refined flour -soft drinks, coffee, alcohol

YOGA ASANAS -vrikashasana -bhujangasana - opens chest, improves breath -setu band hasana- energizing -balasana- calming -paschimottanasana- soothes vata practice 15-30 mins daily. avoid intense exertion

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances nervous system -bhramari= calms racing mind -sheetali= supports liver detox -ujjayi= slows breath, deepens focus

HOME REMEDIES

1) TRIPHALA TEA -boil 1 tsp triphala in 2 cups water-> reduce to 1 cup-> strain and sip at night

2) CUMIN-CORIANDER-FEENNEL TEA

3) GINGER-TURMERIC PASTE -mix dry ginger+turmeric+honey-> lick 1/2 tsp before meals

4) WARM MILK + NUTMEG AT NIGHT -helps relax vata and improves sleep

FOR HEALING -you are not your diagnosis. your body is trying to heal- and you’re already helping it -anxiety, fatigue, and fatty liver are deeply connected to mental and digestive imbalances- and ayurveda treats both -progress may feel slow, but ayurveda works deeply and permenantyl when followed consistently -choose simplicity, warmth gentleness, and routine as your medicine -be kind to yourself. Recovery starts with trusting your body and giving it what it needs- not fighting it.

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

hello mili.,

Thank you for sharing your concerns so openly. I want to first say what you’re feeling is absolutely real, and you’re not imagining this. When the mind and body stay in a loop of overthinking, breathlessness, and fatigue, it can feel like you’re stuck, even though deep inside you want to move forward. I hear that you’re feeling drained, and I want you to know that this can be reversed gently, with care and the right support. In Ayurveda, your current state shows Vata aggravation at the mind level (leading to anxiety, racing thoughts, breathlessness) and Kapha imbalance at the physical level (causing heaviness, low energy, fatty liver, and lack of motivation). Vata governs the nervous system and breath; when it gets disturbed due to emotional strain, irregular food habits, late nights, or unprocessed emotions, it creates mental restlessness and shallow breathing. On the other hand, Kapha when blocked or stagnant can make you feel sluggish, demotivated, and trapped in your own thoughts.

When both Vata and Kapha are out of balance, it becomes hard to act on your goals you keep thinking but cannot execute. Your breath becomes shallow, your sleep disturbed, and your digestive fire slows down. This is also how fatty liver begins through slow digestion, unprocessed toxins (ama), and suppressed emotions. But this can be turned around.

Let’s work together step by step.

1. Ama Pachana (First 5 days) To remove toxic buildup and rekindle your digestive fire. Hingvashtaka Churna – 1 tsp with warm water after meals, twice daily Ardrak (Ginger) juice – 1 tsp with a pinch of rock salt on empty stomach in the morning Cumin-fennel-ajwain decoction – Boil 1 tsp each in 1 litre water and sip warm throughout the day

2. Internal Medicines (From Day 6 onwards) Avipattikara Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water (relieves acidity, clears ama) Maharasnadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water twice daily before meals (helps with Vata regulation and nervous system balance) Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet at bedtime with warm water (to calm mental overactivity and promote sound sleep) Triphala Ghrita – ½ tsp at night with warm water (supports liver detox and bowel regulation)

3. Lifestyle Advice Fix your daily routine: wake and sleep at the same time each day Go for gentle walks in morning sunlight (helps liver, mind and prana flow) Practice Nadi Shodhana Pranayama daily – 10 mins in morning and evening Avoid phone/laptop 1 hour before bedtime Start journaling your thoughts for 5 mins every night – helps relieve mental congestion Play calm instrumental music during meals or while working

4. Food Guidance Eat warm, freshly cooked, easy-to-digest meals Avoid cold, dry, fried food and raw salads Add cow ghee to meals (1 tsp in rice or roti helps balance both Vata and liver function) Include turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and cinnamon in cooking Avoid long gaps between meals – have something every 3–4 hours Take 2–3 soaked dates and 5 almonds in the morning

5. Investigations Suggested Liver Function Test (LFT) Serum Vitamin D and B12 CBC, ESR Thyroid profile (especially if motivation is chronically low) Ultrasound abdomen (if not done recently)

You’re young, and your body still has strong healing potential. What you’re experiencing is not weakness it’s your body signaling that it’s tired of carrying unprocessed stress and needs nurturing. Once digestion, breath, and mind come back into rhythm, you’ll feel lighter, calmer, and more capable. Take that first step gently. Everything else will begin to shift in your favour.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Your situation involves a complex interplay of vata and kapha dosha imbalances, impacting your mental state and physical conditions like fatty liver. Addressing these requires a multi-pronged approach.

Firstly, for anxiety-related breathing issues, a regular practice of Pranayama, specifically Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), can help balance vata and calm the mind, reduce overthinking and regulate breathing. Start with a few minutes daily, preferably in the morning when the mind is quiet. Also consider Nadi shodhan, which is excellent for balancing doshas.

For your overactive mind and low motivation, establishing a daily routine or dinacharya is vital. Wake up early, preferably before sunrise, and engage in moderate physical activity like yoga forms like Surya Namaskar, which help in aligning vata dosha. Abhyanga (self-massage with warm sesame oil) can also be grounding for vata and stimulate kapha for better motivation.

For the fatty liver, your diet must be scrutinized. Eating warm, cooked foods rather than cold, raw ones aids kapha and assists digestion, which is crucial for liver health. Avoid heavy, oily, and fried foods that can exacerbate kapha imbalances. Introduce bitter herbs and vegetables like karela (bitter gourd), methi (fenugreek), and turmeric, which can support the liver and digestion. Triphala, a staple in Ayurveda, taken with warm water before bedtime, may help in detoxifying the liver.

Since the liver is connected to digestion in Ayurveda, maintaining good agni, or digestive fire, is crucial. Eating at regular times, allowing your stomach to empty between meals, and avoiding late-night eating can support this. Including spices like cumin, coriander, and ginger in your meals can enhance digestion.

Lastly, managing stress is key in vata-related conditions. Meditation or mindfulness practices are advised. Apply them consistently to see improvements over time.

Please, for a fatty liver diagnosis, collaborate with your healthcare provider for accurate monitoring and care. Prioritize, especially in acute symptoms.

Breathing issues linked to anxiety often indicate an imbalance where vatta dosha might be aggravated. Vatta governs movement and flow in the body, so its imbalance can disrupt normal respiratory function. For anxiety and overthinking, simple breathing practices such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can be calming for the mind and help settle vaiata. Practicing this daily for 5-10 minutes in the morning and evening can regulate your nervous system.

Your description of breathlessness and low motivation points toward a kapha imbalance too, which can make mental execution difficult. A good way to balance kapha is to incorporate more warmth and movement into daily routine: small exercises like brisk walking for 20-30 minutes daily can energize you. Dry ginger or trikatu (a blend of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) with warm water half an hour before meals can stimulate digestive fire (agni), assist digestion, and help with reducing kapha.

For the fatty liver condition, dietary adjustments can be effective. Triphala, a traditional formula made of three fruits, is often recommended. Taking half a teaspoon with warm water at bedtime aids liver function and digestion, which may assist in mitigating fatty liver. Avoid heavy, oily, or very sour foods for liver health.

If the symptoms are severe or worsen, or the breathing issues become more serious, seeking prompt medical help is crucial. Ayurvedic approaches support but should not delay critical treatments. Make sure to consult your primary healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and coordinated care.

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 MILI,

You’re 21, dealing with anxiety related breathing issues for about a year, racing thoughts, low motivation, and now fatty liver. From an ayurveda perspective , this points toward vata aggravation (anxiety, overthinking, breath irregularity) with kapha imbalance (low energy, sluggishness, fatty liver)

1) DIET

VATA PACIFYING= warm, freshly cooked, slightly oily, mildly spiced food

KAPHA REDUCING= avoid heavy, oily, cold, fried, sugary and processed food

FOR FATTY LIVER= bitter greens (methi, karela), turmeric, ginger, lemon water

Reduce wheat and dairy, favour millets, moong dal, vegetables

2) LIFESTYLE

ROUTINE= fixed sleep/wake time, eat at the same time daily

BREATHING PRACTICE= Anulom Vilom , 10-15 min morning and evening

EXERCISE= gentle yoga- Bhujangasana , setu band hasana, pawanmuktasana for lungs and liver

Avoid excessive screen time and overstimulation

3) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

-MANASMITRA VATAKAM= 1 tab twice daily after meals with warm water =calms anxiety, racing thoughts, improves sleep and concentration

2) BRAHMI VATI (gold or plain)= 1 tab twice daily after meals =reduces overthinking, strengthen nerves , supports focus

3) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =reduces fatty liver, improves blood purification, reduces kapha heaviness

4) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =very effective for fatty liver, sluggish digestion, skin clarity

5) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =calms vata, builds stamina, supports breathing capacity

6) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1 gm twice daily before meals with honey =improves digestion, clears mucus, stimulates liver function

4) MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL BALANCE

Warm sesame oil massage 2-3 times/week= calms vata, improve circulation

MEDITATION= 10 minutes daily, focusing on breath

Write down thoughts at night to reduce mental clutter

5) AVOID -skipping meals -excess cold drinks and ice -late night sleeping -overthinking without action (plan small, do able steps daily)

THANK YOU

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.

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.

I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

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. 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. 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.

Dr. Anupriya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

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. 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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.
