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

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

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 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.

ChatGPT said: 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.

I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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

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.

Dr. Krushna Chaitanya
I am working with patients from around 5 yrs now—sometimes in clinics, sometimes online late at night with a cup of chai next to me and a bunch of case files open. Ayurveda isn’t just a system I studied, it sort of became how I see health and life both. Over these years, I’ve dealt with all kinds of cases but I’ve naturally leaned more towards things like PCOD, thyroid imbalance, gastric trouble, and UTI complaints. These are the ones people often ignore till it gets *too much*, and then they show up exhausted, confused, sometimes already tried a dozen things. I’m not someone who gives the same churna or tablets to everyone. My style? Listen first. Like really listen. Half the time diagnosis starts there. Maybe that’s why I keep seeing followups, people come back or send someone from their family. Some cases take time—like PCOD can’t vanish in 2 weeks—but when you see improvement in moods, cycles, or skin, you know it’s working. There are also those gastric patients who come in saying “I’ve had gas from 10 yrs” and think nothing can change. But it does. Slowly but surely. Offline practice taught me body language, how silence tells more than blood reports sometimes. Online practice taught me how to spot key patterns in words and build trust through screen, which is harder than it sounds. I don’t overpromise, I explain what might work and what may not.. but I do stay with the case, I don’t leave it halfway. Even today, I still keep updating my notes and rechecking texts.. not out of doubt but because every patient feels different even if disease is same. There’s this unpredictabillity to real practice that textbooks never warned about, and I think that’s what keeps me hooked.

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. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

I am working in Ayurveda since 5+ years now, and what really drives me is figuring out how to make healing actually work for the person in front of me — not just treating their symptoms n moving on. Most people come in with gut issues at first — acidity, gas, constipation, stuff like that. But once you start listening close, there’s usually more behind it... doshic imbalances, wrong diet over yrs, even stress patterns. I usually start with their prakriti (constitution) and current complaints, and then map a treatment plan from there — herbs, some diet correction, maybe mild Panchakarma, depends. I don't repeat same formula for every case. I try to keep things practical too… like no overly fancy routines that they won’t follow anyway. Some cases take time. But I’ve seen even chronic bloating or GERD improve when you look at food habits and gut fire (agni) closely enough. I follow classical texts a lot but also read up on newer research when I can — sometimes it helps connect things better. And I never just hand over meds n rush — I want them to get it, to know why we’re doing what we’re doing. That awareness matters. My aim is not just short-term relief but to guide them back to some lasting kind of balance, if that makes sense. And yeah, I do mess up sometimes with too much detail or wrong timing — but then I adjust. It's a process, and every patient's story sort of shapes the way I grow in this field too.
