hello raj Laxmi,

Thank you for sharing what you’re going through. I can understand how worried and anxious you must be feeling right now. A delayed period, especially when you’re under stress and fasting, can be very confusing and overwhelming but you are not alone, and this is something the body can recover from with the right care. First, please know this: Stress and sudden changes in diet (like fasting) can significantly disturb your hormonal rhythm and ovulation. In Ayurveda, we say that Vata dosha gets aggravated when the body undergoes mental tension, irregular eating habits, or physical strain and this can delay periods, cause bloating, anxiety, sleep issues, and even affect digestion. Since you’ve taken multiple pregnancy tests and all are negative, pregnancy is ruled out. Now we focus on calming the system and gently inducing your period naturally.

Step-by-Step Plan

1. Relax Your Nervous System First (First 3–4 Days) When Vata is high, periods don’t come easily. So calm your body first. Warm sesame oil massage on lower abdomen and feet before bath Ashwagandha powder – ¼ tsp with warm milk at bedtime (calms mind and balances hormones) Sip warm cumin-fennel-ginger tea 2–3 times daily Eat warm, easy-to-digest meals – no raw salads or cold food

2. Natural Period-Inducing Remedies (From Day 4 onwards)

Rajahpravartini Vati – 2 tablets twice daily with lukewarm water for 5–7 days (to bring periods) Kumaryasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (supports uterus and balances hormones) Hingvastaka Churna – 1 tsp after meals with warm water (removes bloating, ama, and regulates flow)

Dietary Tips Avoid cold water, fasting, and very spicy/junk food Use more cumin, ajwain, ginger, sesame, and ghee in food Avoid mental strain — even short walks in the sun can help reset the body Do gentle yoga or deep breathing (especially Nadi Shodhana pranayama) daily for 10 minutes

Are your periods usually regular or have they been irregular before too? Are you feeling more bloated, constipated, or emotionally heavy these days? Did you have any recent weight loss, anxiety, or sleep disturbance?

Investigations (if this repeats again): Serum TSH (Thyroid function) Serum Prolactin Pelvic ultrasound (to rule out PCOS if periods are often irregular) Hb, Vitamin D3, B12

Take a deep breath your body just needs a reset and gentle support. You’re young and your system can bounce back well with the right nourishment, warmth, and calmness. We’ll help your body come back to balance step-by-step.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

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.

Hello Raj Laxmi, First of all,stop worrying so much, your worry would only worsen the condition. Your delayed periods might be due to - 1. Hormonal imbalance which can be due to Thyroid disorder,PCOS etc 2. Chronic stress 3. Low nutrient diet 4. Lack of proper sleep schedule 5. Low Hemoglobin

Treatment - 1. Raj pravartini vati 2-0-2 after meal 2. Ashokaristha 15ml with 15 ml water twice a day after meal 3. Haridra capsules 1-0-1 after meal

Diet- Increase intake of turmeric, garlic,amla, papaya . Avoid maida, oily food,junk food Calorie dense diet for weight gain like banana,sweet potato.

Lifestyle modification - Yoga- Anulom vilom,dhanurasan,malasan Stress management -Through meditation, walking, journaling,foot massage etc Take atleast 7 hours of sound sleep. Keeping record of date and duration for further comparison.

Tests needed to be done if the symptoms persist - 1. Hb level 2. USG lower abdomen 3. Thyroid profile Follow these and you will definitely get results. Don’t hesitate to reach out for any further query. Take care Raj Laxmi Regards, Dr.Anupriya

Thank you for explaining your condition in detail. With a history of periods delayed for more than two weeks, repeated negative pregnancy tests, recent fasting, and high stress, the likely causes are hormonal imbalance and vata aggravation affecting the apana vayu flow. The aim will be to restore hormonal rhythm, reduce stress, and support natural menstrual onset.

Recommended Investigations

1. Thyroid profile – TSH, Free T3, Free T4

2. Prolactin level – to rule out hyperprolactinemia

3. Pelvic ultrasound – to assess endometrium and ovaries

4. CBC – to rule out anemia

Internal Medicine

1.Kumaryasava + asokarista each 10 ml with equal warm water twice daily after meals.

2.Hingvashtaka churna – 1 g with first bite of food twice daily.

3.Rajapravartani vati 1-0-1 after food with warm water

3.Warm sesame seed & jaggery drink – boil 1 tsp black sesame seeds with 1 cup water, add a small piece of jaggery, drink warm once daily for 5 days.

Diet & Lifestyle Tips

Avoid

Prolonged fasting, cold or refrigerated foods, excess caffeine

Skipping meals and irregular sleep

Include

Warm, light meals with ginger, cumin, ajwain

Beetroot, pomegranate, sesame seeds, soaked raisins

Herbal teas with cinnamon, tulsi, ginger

Lifestyle

Gentle yoga: Baddha Konasana, Malasana daily

Sleep 7–8 hours in a fixed routine

Deep breathing (Anulom Vilom) for 10 minutes twice daily

May your cycle restore naturally and your stress levels settle soon. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for follow-up if your period doesn’t start within 10–15 days.

With kind regards, Dr. Sumi

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.

HELLO RAJ LAXMI,

In Ayurveda, delayed periods (when menstruation is late by more than 15-20 days) is referred to as -Nashtartava=absence of menstruation -Artava dushti= disturbed or irregular menstrual flow

This condition is usually caused by an imbalance in vata and Pitta doshas, which govern movement and metabolism in your body. when these doshas are disturbed due to stress, improper food habits, excessive fasting, or emotional strain, they block the natural flow of menstrual blood

AYURVEDIC VIEW= WHY YOUR PERIODS MIGHT BE LATE

MENTAL STRESS= increases vata, disturbing hormonal balance and uterine function

EXCESSIVE FASTING= depletes body strength and affects reproductive health

HORMONAL IMBALANCE= affects regular ovulation and endometrial shedding

COLD EXPOSURE OR LIFESTYLE= aggravates vata and constricts channels

IMPROPER DIET= leads to toxin accumulation (ama) and affects reproductive fire

TREATMENT GOALS -Pacify the aggravated vata and pitta doshas -Stimulate the uterus and normalize hormonal function -Strengthen the reproductive system -Reduce stress and stabilize the mind -Correct digestion and eliminate toxins

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) RAJAHPRAVARTINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals with warm water = uterine stimulate that induces menstruation by clearing vata-pitta blockages

2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals for 2 months = tones uterus, balances hormones, regulates cycle

3) KUMARYASAVA= 15 ml twice daily after meals with water for 2 months = supports liver function, balances hormones, strengthens uterus

4) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily in morning and night for 3 months =restores hormonal balance, nourishes reproductive tissues

5) PHALASARPIS = 1 tsp at night with warm milk 1 month = rejuvinates reproductive organs, enhances fertility and vitality

DIET PLAN

FOODS TO INCLUDE

1) WHOLE GRAINS -millets= foxtail, barnyard, kodo, little millet- regulate insulin and reduce fat -quinoa, amaranth, red/brown rice -rolled oats(not instant)

2) VEGETABLES -focus on bitter, pungent, and astringent food -bitter gourd, drumstick, methi -cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, ash gourd -avoid raw salads, cook lightly and digestive spices

3) FRUITS(LOW GLYCEMIC) -amla=fresh or churna -pomegrante -apples, pears, papaya, berries

4) PROTEINS -Plant based= Moong dal, massor dal, horse gram, sprouted lentils -Animal based (if non veg)= boiled eggs, grilled fish(2 times/week)

5) HEALTHY FATS -cold pressed sesame oil -ghee=1 tsp/day -flax seed oil -seeds= flax, chia, pumpkin seeds- support estrogen balance

6) HERBS AND SPICES -turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, ajwian, -black pepper+ ginger

FOODS TO AVOID -cold and raw foods like smoothies, raws salads - sugar and white bread=causes weight gain and acne -fried or packaged foods= increases toxins -milk,panner,cheese= can make cysts worse -stress and late night= disrupts hormones

LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR DEEP HEALING

1) DAILY RHYTHM -wake up before 7 am= sets hormonal rhythm -hydration=warm water with lemon+pinch of turmeric or methi seeds water(soaked overnight) -meal timing= eat meals at regular intervals; no skipping -sleep= sleep by 10-10:30 pm to optimise melatonin and cortisol balance -avoid excessive screen time, especially before sleep

DETOX PRACTICES TO FOLLOW these helps removes toxins and reduce cyst formation -Triphala churna= 1 tsp at night with warm water -CASTOR OIL=montly one 10 ml in milk at night -Self oil massage= sesame oil daily before shower -TAKRA- buttermilk spiced with cumin and ginger daily after lunch

YOGA AND MOVEMENT

BEST YOGA ASANAS -malasana= opens pelvic region -baddha konasana= improves circulation to ovaries -Bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs -setu bandhasana= balances thyroid and pelvic hormones -suryanamskar= 5-7 rounds

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones, calms mind - bhramari= reduces anxiety and supports pitutary -kapalbhati= light version, support metabo

HOME REMEDIES

1) AJWAIN + JAGGERY TEA -boil 1 tsp ajwain + 1 small piece jaggery in 1 cup water -drink warm, once daily on empty stomach = stimulates uterus and improves blood flow

2) FENUGREEK SEED WATER -soak 1 tsp methi seeds. in water overnight -boil in the morning, strain, and drink warm =reduces inflammation, balances hormones

3) RAW PAPAYA -eat 1 bowl of raw papaya daily =stimulates estrogen and helps regulate menstrual cycle

4) SESAME SEED POWDER -mix 1 tsp black sesame seed powder + jaggery -take daily before breakfast =warm potency, improves circulation to uterus

INVESTIGATION RECOMMENDED (if delay continues) If periods don’t come within 4-6 weeks even with this get -Urine pregnancy test / Beta-hCG= to confirm pregnancy -Thyroid profile -serum prolactin -pelvic ultrasound -FSH,LH, Estrogen, Progesterone

-Don’t panic- stress is often both a cause and result of delayed periods. Ayurveda approaches this holistically -If your periods are just delayed occasionally , this could be due to lifestyle strain, diet or stress -But if this happens often, it must be addressed medically and naturally with right care -Ayurveda works best with proper medications, proper diet, lifestyle and consistency

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

A delay in your menstrual period for over two weeks can be unsettling, especially when accompanied by stress. Given that you’ve already ruled out pregnancy with multiple tests, it’s time to explore other factors that could be affecting your cycle. Stress is a common culprit that can influence hormonal balance, leading to delayed menstruation. According to Ayurvedic principles, stress can disturb Vata dosha, which in turn affects the functioning of reproductive organs.

First, I recommend implementing practices to calm Vata and reduce stress. Simple daily routines such as Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil can be soothing. Perform this in the morning before a warm shower. Incorporating deep, slow breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) for a few minutes daily can also help balance mental energy and calm the nervous system.

Your diet plays a crucial role too. Opt for warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest. Consider foods like cooked carrots, beets, and leafy greens to support Agni (digestive fire) and maintain hormonal balance. Drinking herbal teas such as ginger or cinnamon can stimulate the reproductive organs and potentially encourage menstruation.

Be mindful of your sleeping pattern; aim for 7-9 hours of rest each night to support overall health. If you’re fasting frequently, it might be affecting your hormone levels; try to maintain regular eating habits focusing on nutritious and balanced meals.

If you’re still concerned or symptoms persist, consider seeing a healthcare provider to rule out conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid imbalances. Don’t overlook professional advice, particularly if symptoms don’t improve quickly. Stay attentive to any unusual symptoms or discomfort.

When your menstrual cycle is delayed by more than two weeks, it’s essential to consider various potential factors. In the context of Ayurveda, stress, dietary changes, or imbalances in the doshas—particularly vata dosha—can potentially disrupt the menstrual cycle. Stress is a significant factor and can indeed have a strong influence on the menstrual cycle by disrupting vata and creating irregularities.

Start by addressing the stress as it may be impacting your cycle. Incorporate daily practices like meditation or gentle yoga to help balance the vata dosha and calm the mind. Focus on deep breathing exercises to promote relaxation which might enhance hormonal balance.

Next, evaluate your recent dietary choices and lifestyle. If fasting has been a regular practice or if your diet has undergone significant changes, it may have impacted your nutritional status and subsequently your menstrual cycle. Eating regular, nourishing meals that suit your dosha constitution can be beneficial. Warm and grounding foods, such as cooked vegetables and whole grains, are ideal for vata balance. Include spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric in your diet to aid digestion and enhance metabolic fire (agni).

Herbs commonly used in Siddha and Ayurveda like Ashoka, Shatavari, or Kumari (aloe vera) can support female reproductive health. However, it’s essential to consult a qualified practitioner before starting any new herbal remedy, especially if you have ongoing health concerns.

Since you’ve already taken multiple pregnancy tests and they came out negative, monitoring your health and noting other symptoms is important. If you experience additional worrisome signs like unusual pain or significant changes to your well-being, it’s critical to seek medical attention immediately to rule out other potential causes.

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.
