Dr. Khushboo
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

The health issues you’ve described—PCOS, thyroid problems, miscarriage, weight gain, facial hair, and stress—are interconnected and point to a significant hormonal imbalance, which Ayurveda addresses with a holistic approach. In Ayurveda, these conditions are often linked to an imbalance of the doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata.

Here’s an Ayurvedic perspective and guide on how you can naturally manage your PCOS and weight through diet, lifestyle, and herbal support.

Understanding the Ayurvedic Perspective Kapha and Vata Imbalance: PCOS is primarily viewed as a Kapha-dominant disorder. Kapha is associated with heaviness, sluggishness, and excess accumulation, which manifests as weight gain, cysts, and fluid retention. The hormonal imbalance, irregular cycles, and stress are often linked to an aggravated Vata dosha, which governs movement and is responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle.

Agni (Digestive Fire): Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a strong “Agni,” or digestive fire. A weak Agni leads to the accumulation of Ama (toxins), which can block the channels in the body, disrupt metabolism, and contribute to hormonal imbalances and weight gain.

Thyroid Connection: The thyroid is a key endocrine gland, and its health is closely tied to hormonal balance. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), which can develop after a miscarriage, is often linked to a Kapha imbalance and can exacerbate weight gain and hormonal issues.

A Natural Ayurvedic Plan for PCOS and Weight Loss The goal is to pacify Kapha, balance Vata, strengthen Agni, and detoxify the body.

1. Diet and Nutrition The right diet is crucial for managing PCOS and weight. Focus on a Kapha-pacifying diet.

Foods to Embrace:

Warm, Cooked Foods: Favor warm, light, and easy-to-digest meals. Soups, steamed vegetables, and well-cooked grains are excellent.

Bitter and Astringent Tastes: Include bitter greens (like kale and spinach), bitter gourd, and astringent foods (like lentils, beans, and certain fruits like pomegranate and pears) to help reduce Kapha.

Spices: Use metabolism-boosting spices liberally. Ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, and fenugreek are excellent for improving Agni and managing blood sugar. A simple detox tea of boiled ginger, cinnamon, and fennel seeds can be a great addition to your routine.

Whole Grains: Opt for lighter grains like millet and quinoa over heavy ones like wheat and rice.

Foods to Avoid or Reduce:

Dairy: Reduce or eliminate heavy dairy products like cheese and yogurt, as they can increase Kapha and Ama.

Processed and Sugary Foods: Avoid refined sugars, processed carbs, fried foods, and sugary drinks, as they contribute to inflammation, insulin resistance, and weight gain.

Cold and Heavy Foods: Minimize cold, raw foods and heavy, oily meals.

2. Herbal Support Certain Ayurvedic herbs are highly effective in managing PCOS, balancing hormones, and aiding weight loss. It is essential to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal regimen, as they can recommend the right dosage and combination for your specific condition.

For Hormonal Balance & PCOS:

Shatavari: Known as a female reproductive tonic, it helps regulate menstrual cycles and supports overall reproductive health.

Ashwagandha: As a powerful adaptogen, it helps manage stress, lowers cortisol levels, and supports thyroid function. This is particularly helpful given your history with stress and thyroid issues.

Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, it improves metabolism, purifies the blood, and helps balance hormones.

For Weight Loss:

Triphala: A classic Ayurvedic blend of three fruits, it’s excellent for improving digestion, cleansing the system, and supporting healthy weight management. Take it with warm water before bed or in the morning.

Guggul: This resin is known for its ability to improve metabolism and break down fat, making it a key herb for weight loss.

Cinnamon: Helps improve insulin sensitivity and manage blood sugar levels, which is a core issue in PCOS.

3. Lifestyle and Stress Management Exercise: Incorporate regular, moderate exercise. Brisk walking, swimming, and yoga are excellent choices. Yoga poses like Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) can improve blood flow to the pelvic region and support reproductive health.

Stress Reduction: Stress is a major trigger for hormonal imbalance. Practice daily stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom), and adequate sleep.

Dinacharya (Daily Routine): Following a consistent daily routine can help balance the doshas. Wake up early, practice Abhyanga (self-oil massage) with warm sesame oil to calm Vata, and eat your meals at the same time each day.

PCOS is a complex condition involving multiple systems, and Ayurveda can be instrumental in managing its symptoms effectively through a holistic approach. The primary goal is to balance your doshas — mainly Kapha and Vata, often dominant in PCOS — while addressing the related symptoms.

First, diet plays a crucial role. Consider a Kapha-pacifying diet: prioritize warm, cooked meals with lightly spiced vegetables. Avoid cold and raw foods. Incorporate spices like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon to aid digestion and balance hormones. Minimize intake of processed foods, sugary items, and dairy as these can exacerbate conditions linked to PCOS. Small meals throughout the day is beneficial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels and reduce stress on the body.

Exercise is critical. Regular moderate activity like walking, swimming, or yoga, not only aids weight management but enhances mood and reduce stress. Focus particularly on Pranayama practices to calm mind and reduce stress — try alternate nostril breathing for 10-15 minutes daily.

Herbal remedies such as ashwagandha, shatavari, and triphala can support hormonal balance and improve metabolic health. Ashwagandha is known for reducing cortisol levels, shatavari can enhance reproductive health, and triphala is great for digestion and detoxification.

Abhyanga, a self-massage with warm sesame or coconut oil, can promote circulation and balance your doshas, especially helpful if done 3-4 times a week before a shower.

Importantly, consider a routine that includes enough sleep, ideally from 10 PM to 6 AM, as hormonal balance is disrupted by poor sleep patterns. Ayurveda holds that the body’s natural rhythm aligns with nature, so sleeping and waking with the sun helps.

Since thyroid issues accompany your PCOS, these recommendations should support both conditions. Yet, persistent or worsening symptoms warrant consultation with a medical professional since these conditions require detailed, continuous attention. Balancing your lifestyle with these practices will gradually promote well-being and help manage PCOS.

Considering your PCOS, weight gain, and related symptoms, let’s delve into how Siddha-Ayurvedic wisdom can assist. An imbalance in doshas, particularly aggravated kapha and vata, is likely influencing your condition. Shahatavari (Asparagus racemosus) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) are beneficial for balancing hormones and reducing stress. These adaptogens work well to harmonize your system—consider adding these as herbal supplements with professional guidance.

For weight management, a key remains in regulating your agni or digestive fire. Eating a lighter, easily digestible diet can aid in this process. Favor warm, cooked meals over raw or cold foods to appease the vata-kapha imbalance. Add spices like cumin, black pepper, and turmeric to boost digestion. Ensure your meals are consistent daily, this supports balanced energy levels and metabolic rate.

Regular exercise, suitable to your capacity, can help manage weight and stress. Yoga practices such as sun salutation and pranayama are effective in grounding vata and reducing kapha. Be consistent but gentle; the goal isn’t intense workouts but steady progress.

Notice how your body responds and adjust practices accordingly. Stress management is crucial—practices like meditation, or nidra yoga can contribute substantially to hormonal balance. Keep monitoring thyroid function and consult a practitioner for targeted therapies if symptoms persist or worsen. If any urgent medical symptoms arise, seek immediate professional advice. This approach should offer a viable path for natural equilibrium and relief but do consult a qualified Siddha-Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new regimen.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

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.

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

Dr. 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. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
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.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

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.
