My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

HELLO VINEET,

It sounds like you are describing varicocele- an enlargement of veins in the scrotum, often more common on the left side,

YOUR SYMPTOMS -pain from abdomen to left testicle -“pouch of veins” that feels swollen or heavy -chronic for about 1 year

IMPORTANT NOTE Varicocele itself is not always dangerous, but it can sometimes affect fertility or cause persistent pain. Since you have had symptoms for a year and the pain is affecting your daily life, you should first get a confirmed diagnosis by a qualified urologist using Doppler ultrasound. This is important to rule out other causes like inguinal hernia, testicular torsion history, or kidney related vein obstruction

In Ayurveda, a varicocele can be related to siragranthi-vein swelling, caused by vata vitiation along with involvement of rakta - blood and kapha. chronic strain, constipation, prolonged standing, and excessive heat can aggravate it

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =supports urinary and reproductive system health

2) PUNARNAVADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with water twice daily before meals =reduces swelling and improves circulation

3) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals = useful for glandular swellings and vein blockages

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 5 gm with warm milk at bedtime =strengthens muscles and reduces vata related nerve pain

5) ARJUNA KSHEERAPAK= 100 ml once daily warm in morning = improves blood vessel tone

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

-OIL MASSAGE with dhanwantaram taila around lower abdomen, groin, and thighs =gentle ,not directly on testicle

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -Avoid prolonged standing or heavy lifting -prevent constipation= eat fibre rich foods green vegetables, papaya, figs -include warm milk with turmeric at night for anti-inflammatory support -avoid excessive spicy, sour, and deep fried food -stay hydrated avoid alcohol, and smoking

SUPPORTIVE MEASURES -wear supportive underwear which reduces vein pressure -yoga= viparita karani, supta baddha konasana= improves venous return, but avoid poses that strain abdomen -manage body weight and core strength

WHEN SURGERY IS CONSIDERED -If pain persist or there are signs of testivular shrinkage, microsurgical varicocelectomy is often advised…

THANK YOU

HELLO VINNET,

A varicocele is a swelling of veins inside the scrotum- usually on the left side- due to blood pooling in veins that drain the testicle. Think of it as varicose veins in the legs, but instead, it’s in the testicle area

SYMPTOMS -dull, aching pain from lower abdomen or groin to left testicle -heaviness or dragging sensation in the scrotum, especially while standing or after physical activity -visible or palpable “bag of worms” feeling above the testivle -may feel worse at the end of the day and relieved by lying down -may be associated with infertility due to poor sperm production

In Ayurveda, varicocele is correlated with -SIRAGRANTHI= knotted/swollen blood vessels -VATAJA SHOTHA= vata induced inflammaion -involves APANA VATA (downward-moving vata responsible for reproductive function)

DOSHA INVOLVEMENT VATA= responsible for nerve pain, movement, and circulation

RAKTA= impure or congested blood flow

PITTA(mild)= if there’s burning or inflammation

DHATU INVOLVED -rakta (blood) -mamsa (muscle) -shukra (reproductive tissue)

SROTAS(BODY CHANNELS) -Shukravaha srotas= reproductive channels -raktavaha srotas= blood channels

TREATMENT GOALS -PACIFY VATA= to relieve pain, improve circulation and tone veins -BALANCE RAKTA= improve blood quality and flow, reduce stagnation -STRENGTHEN VEINS AND NERVES= using rejuvination herbs -REDUCE SWELLING= through internal and external formualtions -SUPPORT FERTILITY= if affected, protect sperm health -DETOXIF= mild detox to clear metabolic waste

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) PUNARNAVADI GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =reduces swelling, improves kidney and lymphatic drainage

2) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months = shrinks abnormal tissue, helps with glandular swellings

3) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 2 months =balances vata and pitta, improves circulation to pelvic organs

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for 3 months =tonic for nerves, muscles, fertility, educes stress

5) SHILAJIT CAPSULES= 1 cap in morning empty stomach 500 mg =improves energy, tones veins, rejuvinates

6) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime for 3 months =detoxifier, supports digestion, and absorption

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS Used to relieve local symptoms and support healing

1) OIL MASSAGE -use warm mahanarayan taila -massage lower abdomen and inner thighs gently -avoid pressing the testicle directly -daily massage

2) HERBAL PASTE -boil herbs like punarnava, dashmoola, manjistha in water, make a thick paste -apply to groin area for 20 minutes, then wash with warm water

YOGA AND PRANAYAM these promote better blood flow, relieves pressure and balance vata

RECOMMENDED YOGA -Viparita karani= drains stagnant blood from scrotum -Sarvangasana= enhances testicular circulation -Setu bandhasana= pelvic floor strengthening -Supta bandhasana= relaxes groin and reproductive area -Balasana= relieves tension in lower abdomen

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= balances vata, improves circulation -Bhramari= reduces stress and anxiety -Sheetali= cools down pitta

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -warm, freshly cooked meals -ghee, cow’s milk(boiled), dates, soaked raisins -garlic, turmeric, ginger- boost circulation -mung dal, red rice, seasonal vegetables -pomegranate , amla, beetroot juice -herbal teas= triphala, ashwagandha, punarnava etc

AVOID -cold, raw or stale food -fried, processed, junk food -excessive sour, spicy, salty items -smoking, alcohol, caffeine -excessive sexual activity -sitting/standing for long periods without breaks

HOME REMEDIES

1) GARLIC AND SESAME OIL MASSAGE =warm and apply gently to groin =reduces congestion, improves circulation

2) TURMERIC+MILK =1/2 tsp turmeric in warm milk at night =anti-inflammatroy and blood purifier

3) SOAKED RAISINS (10-15 daily)= morning empty stomach =improves blood flow and fertility

INVESTIGATIONS To confirm and monitor the condition

1) SCROTAL ULTRASOUND WITH DOPPLER= confirms varicocele, measures severity

2) SEMEN ANALYSIS= if fertility is a concern

3) HORMONAL TESTS= FSH,LH, TESTOSTERONE

4) CBC, ESR, CRP

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS

-wear supportive underwear (not tight) -Take breaks if standing/sitting too long -elevate legs during rest -stay stress free with yoga -sleep 7-8 hours

DON’TS -don’t wear tight jeans or undergarments -don’t lift heavy weights -avoid running/jumping -avoid overexertion -don’t ignore pain signals

-Varicocele is not life-threatening , but it shouldn’t be ignored, especially if there is pain or fertility concern -Ayurveda offers a approach to manage the condition, especially In early and moderate cases -surgery (varicocelectomy) may be required in advanced or unresponsive cases, but Ayurveda can still support healing pre/post surgery -CONSISTENCY IS KEY= the best results come with 3-6 months of disciplined lifestyle, medications and therapy

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Varicocele, characterized by an abnormal enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, often resembles a “bag of worms.” This condition may occur when blood pools in the vein due to faulty valves, increasing pressure and causing heaviness or discomfort, particularly on the left side. As the condition has persisted for a year with pain, it is crucial to consult a medical professional for a formal diagnosis and potential treatments, especially if fertility concerns are present or if the pain exacerbates.

In addressing Varicocele through Ayurveda, the focus would generally be on improving blood circulation and reducing stagnation in the veins. Balancing the doshas involved can be crucial, particularly Pitta dosha that governs circulation and heat in the body. It may be beneficial to integrate the following suggestions within your routine:

1. Herbal Decoctions: Decoctions such as Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) might be beneficial. These herbs are traditionally known for their properties in supporting urinary tract health and cleansing the blood. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for the appropriate dosage.

2. Diet: Incorporate light, easily digestible foods, reducing intake of spicy or heat-inducing substances. Favor antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables which support vascular health. Avoid heavy, greasy foods, and limit intake of alcohol and smoking, which can exacerbate Pitta imbalance.

3. Yoga and Exercises: Practicing specific asanas such as Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) and Viparita Karani (legs-up-the-wall pose) can help improve venous return and reduce congestion in the pelvic area. However, avoid strenuous activities that may aggravate the condition.

4. Hydration: Maintain proper hydration to help dilute the blood and reduce viscosity, aiding flow and reducing pressure on varicosities.

Since the condition has persisted for an extended period with significant discomfort, it is advisable to follow-up with a healthcare provider, as surgical intervention (like Varicocelectomy) might be necessary for definitive relief and ensuring no further complications arise.

From your description, it sounds like you might be experiencing issues related to varicocele, a condition where the veins inside the scrotum become enlarged. This can lead to pain or a feeling of heaviness and is similar to varicose veins that can occur in the legs. In Siddha-Ayurveda, such conditions are often linked to imbalanced Vata dosha, which governs circulation and movement in the body.

To help manage and alleviate the discomfort, you can consider the following suggestions. First, maintaining good circulation is crucial. Regular gentle exercise, such as walking or yoga, can keep blood flowing smoothly. Poses that don’t exert pressure but enhance circulation, like legs-up-the-wall pose (Viparita Karani), might be beneficial.

Consider integrating Ashwagandha and Guggulu into your routine, as these are traditionally known in Ayurveda for strengthening tissues and improving circulation. You can take Ashwagandha powder mixed with warm milk before bed, as it also supports calming your Vata.

In your diet, emphasize warmth and nourishment. Prepare meals with warming spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel to support digestion and circulation. Avoid cold foods and drinks which may aggravate Vata further.

Since you’re experiencing pain consistently, seeking attention from a healthcare professional to evaluate the need for further intervention is essential. Varicocele can sometimes require surgical intervention, especially if it persists and affects quality of life. Do not delay consulting a health professional to rule out or address anything urgent.

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.

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

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
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. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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

Dr. Kirankumari Rathod
I am someone who kinda grew into Panchakarma without planning it much at first... just knew I wanted to understand the deeper layers of Ayurveda, not just the surface stuff. I did both my graduation and post-grad from Govt. Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital in Bangalore — honestly that place shaped a lot of how I think about healing, especially long-term healing. After my PG, I started working right away as an Assistant Professor & consultant in the Panchakarma dept at a private Ayurveda college. Teaching kinda made me realise how much we ourselves learn by explaining things to others... and watching patients go through their detox journeys—real raw healing—was where I got hooked. Now, with around 6 years of clinical exp in Panchakarma practice, I'm working as an Associate Professor, still in the same dept., still learning, still teaching. I focus a lot on individualised protocols—Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all and honestly, that’s what makes it tricky but also beautiful. Right now I’m also doing my PhD, it’s on female infertility—a topic I feel not just academically drawn to but personally invested in, cause I see how complex and layered it gets for many women. Managing that along with academics and patient care isn’t super easy, I won’t lie, but it kinda fuels each other. The classroom work helps my clinical thinking, and my clinical work makes me question things in research more sharply. There's a lot I still wanna explore—especially in how we explain Panchakarma better to newer patients. Many people still think it's just oil massage or some spa thing but the depth is wayyy beyond that. I guess I keep hoping to make that clarity come through—whether it’s in class or during a consult or even during a quick OPD chat.

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. Neha Saini
I am Vaidya Neha Saini and Ayurveda’s not just my work—it’s kind of like my language of healing, a thing I live by, day in and out. I did my BAMS from Shree Krishna Govt Ayurvedic College in Kurukshetra and later finished MD in Ayurveda from Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune (that place had a different kind of energy honestly). With more than five yrs of clinical experience under my belt, I’ve kinda shaped my path around treating chronic issues, long-drawn imbalances and lifestyle disorders that modern life throws at people without warning. My way of working isn’t about chasing symptoms. I try to understand what’s really going on underneath—it’s like the root cause matters more than just quieting the noise. I use classical Ayurvedic principles but I also keep an eye on modern clinical understanding, ‘cause you can’t ignore how medicine’s growing every day, right? Most of my cases come in with problems like skin conditions—psoriasis, eczema, sometimes hormonal stuff like PCOS or thyroid weirdness, joint stiffness, back pains, post-stroke situations, or nervous system setbacks that need slow but steady support. And for all that, I plan treatment around them, not some fixed protocol. Which means a mix of herbs, Panchakarma detox when needed, food tweaks, even small shifts in daily routine… all matching their prakriti and vikriti. I also do online consults 'cause a lot of folks don't always get to travel or access real Ayurveda nearby. I just feel like everyone should have a shot at natural healing, even if it's through a screen. One thing I try hard to never skip: listening. Really listening to people. Sometimes they don’t even know how to say what's wrong, but they feel it—and that matters. For me, trust is the main pillar, and treatment flows from there. Ayurveda for me isn’t a toolkit or a clinic-only thing. It’s like—how you eat, sleep, breathe, connect with seasons or stress. It’s everywhere. And everytime someone walks in confused, tired or just stuck with some health loop, my aim is to sit beside them—not ahead—and figure the way out together. Not fast fixes, but deep, steady change. That's what I show up for every single time.
