HELLO HARENDRA,

Asthma is a chronic condition where your airways (breathing tubes) get narrowed , inflamed, and filled with mucus, especially when triggered by allergens like dust, cold air, pollution or stress. This causes -difficulty in breathing -wheezing -chest tightness -coughing -weakness after attacks -mind fog or poor concentration

In Ayurveda, asthma is called Tamaka Shwasa, and it is caused mainly by

1) MANDAGNI (WEAK DIGESTION) improper digestion leads to formation of AMA (toxic waste), which blocks the natural flow of air in the body.

2) KAPHA IMBALANCE Excessive Kapha (mucus) accumulates in the lungs and upper respiratory tract, blocking the airways

3) VATA DISTURBANCES When the natural flow of vata (movement) is obstructed by kapha, it causes spasms, tightness, breathlessness

4) MANASIKA DOSHA Stress, anxiety, depression can also worsen asthma as per ayurveda. Mind and breath are deeply connected

TREATMENT GOALS -clear the mucus -restore digestive fire -remove toxins -strengthen lungs and respiratory system -rejuvinate energy and improve immunity -reduce dependency on inhales overtime -improve mental clarity and reduce stress- related triggers

INTERNAL TREATMENT

PHASE 1= DETOX AND SYMPTOM CONTROL (1-2 MONTHS)

1) SHITOPALADI + TALISADI CHURNA= 1 tsp each with honey twice daily after meals =breaks mucus, soothes throat, reduces cough, strengthens lungs

2) SHRINGA BHASMA= 125mg with honey twice daily after meals =excellent for chronic asthma

3) VASA AVALEHA= 1 tsp twice daily in morning and night =clears phlegm, reduces inflammation

4) KANAKASAVA= 15 ml with water after meals =bronchodilator effect, relieves breathlessness

5) SHWASAKUTHAR RAS= 1 tab twice daily after meals =fast relief in attacks, clears airways

PHASE 2= STRENGTH AND PREVENTION (2-4 MONTHS)

1) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp in morning =immunity booster, lung tonic

2) PIPPALI RASAYANA= 500 mg with milk =rejuvinate lung tissue

3) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk at night =restores energy, reduces stress

4) GUDUCHI TABLET= 1 tab in morning =builds long term immunity

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) NASYA= instill 2 drops of shadbindu taila in each nostril in morning =clears sinuses, improves breathing, prevents attack

2) HERBAL SMOKE INHALATION -use vacha, tulsi, haridra as smoke =clears kapha, purifies airways

3) OIL MASSAGE+STEAM =with dashmoola oil =helps relax chest muscles and improve circulation

INVESTIGATION SUGGESTED

-CBC, ESR, CRP= to detect inflammation -PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST= to check lung capacity -CHEST X-RAY= to rule out infections -IgE levels= to check allergies -ALLERGY PANEL/SKIN PRICK TEST= to identify allegens

YOGA AND PRANAYAM FOR ASTHMA Avoid during active attacks. Do only during stable periods

-Anulom Vilom= 10-15 min, balances vata-kapha, strengthens lungs -Bhramari= 5 min, calms nervous system, reduces anxiety -Ujjayi= 5-10 min, controls breath, reduces wheezing -Kapalbhati= 2-3 min, avoid during attacks, helps clear mucus

YOGA ASANA -bhujangasana -dhanurasana -ardha matsyendrasana -setu bandhasana -sukhasana with deep breathing

DIET -warm water with turmeric and ginger -moong dal, lauki, linda, pumpkin -garlic, tulsi, cinnamon, black pepper -homemade soups, rice with ghee -herbal teas (tulsi+mulethi+ginger)

AVOID -cold drinks, ice cream -bananas, guava, dairy at night -fried food, fast food, bakery items -curd, panner, cheese -heavy meals, especially at night

HOME REMEDIES

1) GARLIC + MUSTARD OIL MASSAGE -warm mustard oil with 2 cloves garlic =rub on chest and back before sleep

2) TULSI + GINGER + HONEY DECOCTION -boil tulsi leaves, add ginger, strain =mic 1 tsp honey and sip warm

3) TURMERIC MILK -add 1/2 tsp turmeric+ pinch of black pepper in warm milk =take before bed

4) AJWAIN STEAM -boil ajwain in water, inhale steam =clears blocked nose and chest

LIFESTYLE

DO -wake early before 6 am -stay active but avoid overexertion -keep house dust free -use warm clothes in cold weather -sleep on time (before 10 pm) -take deep breaths during day

AVOID -sudden exposure to cold wind -sleeping during the day -staying awake at night -suppression of natural urges (urine, cough etc) -overeating, or eating incompatible foods

-Asthma is manageable, even chronic cases like yours, with consistent ayurvedic care and lifestyle changes -This is not a quick fix. It takes at least 3-6 months to see strong results and further 6-12 months to stabilize -Always keep your rescue inhaler for emergencies - Ayurveda and allopathy can work together -Focus on digestive health, mucus control, lung strength and mental calmness

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

नमस्ते हरेंद्र,

अस्थमा एक दीर्घकालिक स्थिति है जिसमें आपके वायुमार्ग (श्वास नलिकाएँ) संकुचित, सूजे हुए और बलगम से भर जाते हैं, खासकर जब धूल, ठंडी हवा, प्रदूषण या तनाव जैसे एलर्जी कारकों के कारण ऐसा होता है। इसके कारण -साँस लेने में कठिनाई -घरघराहट -सीने में जकड़न -खाँसी -दौरे के बाद कमज़ोरी -मन में धुंधलापन या कम एकाग्रता

आयुर्वेद में, अस्थमा को तामसिक श्वास कहा जाता है, और यह मुख्यतः निम्न कारणों से होता है:

1) मंदाग्नि (कमजोर पाचन) अशुद्ध पाचन के कारण आम (विषाक्त अपशिष्ट) बनता है, जो शरीर में वायु के प्राकृतिक प्रवाह को अवरुद्ध करता है।

2) कफ असंतुलन अत्यधिक कफ (बलगम) फेफड़ों और ऊपरी श्वसन पथ में जमा हो जाता है, जिससे वायुमार्ग अवरुद्ध हो जाते हैं।

3) वात विकार जब वात का प्राकृतिक प्रवाह कफ द्वारा बाधित होता है, तो ऐंठन, जकड़न और सांस फूलने जैसी समस्याएँ होती हैं।

4) मानसिक दोष आयुर्वेद के अनुसार, तनाव, चिंता और अवसाद भी अस्थमा को बदतर बना सकते हैं। मन और श्वास का गहरा संबंध है

उपचार के लक्ष्य - बलगम साफ़ करें - पाचन अग्नि को पुनर्स्थापित करें - विषाक्त पदार्थों को दूर करें - फेफड़ों और श्वसन तंत्र को मज़बूत करें - ऊर्जा को पुनर्जीवित करें और रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता में सुधार करें - लंबे समय तक साँस लेने पर निर्भरता कम करें - मानसिक स्पष्टता में सुधार करें और तनाव-संबंधी कारकों को कम करें

आंतरिक उपचार

चरण 1 = विषहरण और लक्षण नियंत्रण (1-2 महीने)

1) शीतोपलादि + तालिसादि चूर्ण = भोजन के बाद दिन में दो बार शहद के साथ 1-1 चम्मच = बलगम को तोड़ता है, गले को आराम देता है, खांसी कम करता है, फेफड़ों को मज़बूत बनाता है

2) श्रृंग भस्म = भोजन के बाद दिन में दो बार शहद के साथ 125 मिलीग्राम = पुराने अस्थमा के लिए उत्कृष्ट

3) वास अवलेह = सुबह और रात में दिन में दो बार 1 चम्मच = कफ साफ़ करता है, सूजन कम करता है

4) कनकासव = भोजन के बाद 15 मिलीलीटर पानी के साथ भोजन =ब्रोन्कोडायलेटर प्रभाव, सांस फूलने से राहत

5) श्वासकुठार रस= भोजन के बाद दिन में दो बार 1 गोली =दौरे में तुरंत आराम, वायुमार्ग साफ़ करता है

चरण 2= शक्ति और रोकथाम (2-4 महीने)

1) च्यवनप्राश= सुबह 1 चम्मच =प्रतिरक्षा वर्धक, फेफड़ों का टॉनिक

2) पिप्पली रसायन= 500 मिलीग्राम दूध के साथ =फेफड़ों के ऊतकों को पुनर्जीवित करता है

3) अश्वगंधा चूर्ण= रात में दूध के साथ 1 चम्मच =ऊर्जा बहाल करता है, तनाव कम करता है

4) गुडुची गोली= सुबह 1 गोली =दीर्घकालिक प्रतिरक्षा शक्ति बनाता है

बाहरी उपचार

1) नास्य= सुबह प्रत्येक नथुने में षड्बिंदु तेल की 2 बूँदें डालें =साइनस साफ़ करता है, श्वास में सुधार करता है, दौरे को रोकता है

2) हर्बल धुएँ का साँस लेना -उपयोग वच, तुलसी, हरिद्रा का धुआँ =कफ साफ़ करता है, वायुमार्गों को शुद्ध करता है

3) तेल मालिश+भाप =दशमूल तेल के साथ =छाती की मांसपेशियों को आराम पहुँचाता है और रक्त संचार में सुधार करता है

सुझाई गई जाँच

-सीबीसी, ईएसआर, सीआरपी= सूजन का पता लगाने के लिए -पल्मोनरी फंक्शन टेस्ट= फेफड़ों की क्षमता की जाँच के लिए -छाती का एक्स-रे= संक्रमण की संभावना को दूर करने के लिए -आईजीई स्तर= एलर्जी की जाँच के लिए -एलर्जी पैनल/त्वचा चुभन परीक्षण= एलर्जी की पहचान के लिए

अस्थमा के लिए योग और प्राणायाम सक्रिय दौरे के दौरान परहेज करें। केवल स्थिर अवधि के दौरान ही करें

-अनुलोम विलोम = 10-15 मिनट, वात-कफ को संतुलित करता है, फेफड़ों को मजबूत करता है -भ्रामरी = 5 मिनट, तंत्रिका तंत्र को शांत करता है, चिंता कम करता है -उज्जायी = 5-10 मिनट, श्वास को नियंत्रित करता है, घरघराहट कम करता है -कपालभाति = 2-3 मिनट, दौरे के दौरान न करें, बलगम साफ़ करने में मदद करता है

योग आसन -भुजंगासन -धनुरासन -अर्ध मत्स्येन्द्रासन -सेतु बंधासन -गहरी साँस के साथ सुखासन

आहार -हल्दी और अदरक के साथ गर्म पानी -मूंग दाल, लौकी, लिंडा, कद्दू -लहसुन, तुलसी, दालचीनी, काली मिर्च -घर का बना सूप, घी के साथ चावल -हर्बल चाय (तुलसी+मुलेठी+अदरक)

से बचें -ठंडे पेय, आइसक्रीम -केले, अमरूद, रात में डेयरी उत्पाद -तला हुआ खाना, फास्ट फूड, बेकरी चीज़ें -दही, पनीर, पनीर -भारी भोजन, खासकर रात में

घरेलू उपचार

1) लहसुन + सरसों के तेल की मालिश -2 लहसुन की कलियों के साथ गर्म सरसों का तेल =सोने से पहले छाती और पीठ पर मलें

2) तुलसी + अदरक + शहद का काढ़ा -तुलसी के पत्ते उबालें, अदरक डालें, छान लें =1 छोटा चम्मच शहद मिलाएँ और गुनगुना घूँट लें

3) हल्दी वाला दूध -गर्म दूध में आधा छोटा चम्मच हल्दी + चुटकी भर काली मिर्च डालें =सोने से पहले लें

4) अजवाइन की भाप -अजवाइन को पानी में उबालें, भाप लें =बंद नाक और छाती को खोलता है

जीवनशैली

करें -सुबह 6 बजे से पहले उठें -सक्रिय रहें लेकिन ज़्यादा मेहनत से बचें -घर की धूल से दूर रखें -ठंड के मौसम में गर्म कपड़े पहनें -समय पर सोएँ (रात 10 बजे से पहले) -सोते समय गहरी साँसें लें दिन

इनसे बचें - अचानक ठंडी हवा के संपर्क में आने से - दिन में सोने से - रात में जागने से - प्राकृतिक इच्छाओं (पेशाब, खांसी आदि) को दबाने से - ज़्यादा खाना, या असंगत खाद्य पदार्थ खाने से

- अस्थमा, यहाँ तक कि आपके जैसे पुराने मामलों में भी, नियमित आयुर्वेदिक देखभाल और जीवनशैली में बदलाव से नियंत्रित किया जा सकता है। - यह कोई जल्दी ठीक होने वाला उपाय नहीं है। अच्छे परिणाम देखने में कम से कम 3-6 महीने लगते हैं और स्थिर होने में 6-12 महीने और लगते हैं। - आपात स्थिति के लिए अपना रेस्क्यू इनहेलर हमेशा साथ रखें - आयुर्वेद और एलोपैथी दोनों मिलकर काम कर सकते हैं। - पाचन स्वास्थ्य, बलगम नियंत्रण, फेफड़ों की मज़बूती और मानसिक शांति पर ध्यान दें।

अनुसरण करें

उम्मीद है कि यह मददगार होगा।

धन्यवाद

Asthma ka samdhan Ayurveda m akarshak aur saralta se hai, jo aapko araam de sakta hai. Sabse pahle, apne Sharir ki prakriti samjhna jaruri hai, jo aapke dosha ki sthiti, agni ki shakti aur dhatu ki suraksha ko barsate hai.

Vataj prakriti wale vyakti me, pradhan dosh vata hai, jo asthma ke vikas me yogdaan deta hai. Apne dincharya aur raat karyakram m vata ko samne rakhte huye apne sehat ko sudhar sakte hain. Pranayam, jaise Anulom Vilom aur Bhastrika, achha upay hai. Pratidin subah inka abhyas karna faydejmand ho sakta hai. Ye prakriya shwasan tantra ko majboot banata hai aur nasik srot ko swachh banata hai.

Khana jo shariir dwara aasani se pach jaye vo aavantarnya aur bhasmaka agni ko susthit krti hai. Uske liye, aamla, adrak ka ras, tulsi patte ki chai aur triphala ka churna lene se labh ho sakta hai. Aapko oily, processed aur doodh se bane padarth ko avashya avoid karna chahiye, jo kapha vishesha ko badhava dete hain.

Vyayam m dhyan lagaye, lekin dhyan rakhe ki adhik kariya asthma trigger na kare. Nayakly aram aur yog nidra ki kriya aapke system ko relax krta or immunity badhata hai.

Lekin, agar kabhi kathan vaisa asthmatic attack ho jaye, turant allopathic ilaj grenit yadi board of physcian ore medical team kara aur in appears upchar ke sanghsya le nashwar aur anaivki praveh karven.

Swasthya avasthiti ko sudharne me samay lag sakta hai, isliye lakshyan ko lakshyan me rakhe aur lagatar prishikshit chikitsa adhikari se sampark me bane rahe. Ayurveda shreshth fal pradan karne me samarth hai jab sahi samarg aur lagatar prayas kiya jata hai.

Asthma, especially when it’s a long-standing issue since childhood, can be quite challenging. Let’s explore some Siddha-Ayurvedic approaches to support your condition based on the principles of dosha balance, focusing on Vata and Kapha aspects.

First, focus on your diet to pacify Kapha. Avoid cold foods and drinks, dairy products, and excessive sweet, salty, and sour tastes which can aggravate the Kapha dosha. Instead, include warming spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric in your meals. These can help in clearing the channels and supporting respiratory health. Preparing a drink with warm water, honey, and ginger can be beneficial, having it in the morning or before bed.

From a lifestyle perspective, it’s vital to maintain regularity in your daily routine to balance Vata. Ensure you get adequate rest and quality sleep, as fatigue and stress can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Pranayama (breathing exercises) tailored to your capacity, like Anulom-Vilom, can also support lung function and regulate breath. But do them only during periods without active symptoms, ideally in the morning at a peaceful spot.

For herbs, consider Tulsi (Holy Basil) and Vasaka (Malabar Nut). These herbs may help with respiratory health. Consult with a local practitioner for the right doses and forms appropriate to your condition. Practitioners usually recommend taking them in decoction or powder form, but they should be tailored for you specifically.

Lastly, it’s crucial to monitor your condition closely. If asthma attacks occur frequently or are severe, immediate medical consultation is necessary. Aggressive interventions might be needed to prevent complications or deterioration. Ayurveda complements conventional treatments, but when urgent—and your symptoms point to this—modern medical interventions are paramount for safety.

I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. 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.

MANAGEMENT -remove obstruction from airways -strenthen lung function -improve digestion and metabolism -enahance immunity -prevent further attacks

TREATMENT APPROACH

1) SHODHANA -VAMANA KARMA= therapeutic emesis= done in specific seasons usually spring to clear excess kapha from respiratory tract

-VIRECHANA KARMA= to balance pitta and improve metabolism

2) SHAMANA - SHITOPALADI CHURNA + TALISADI CHURNA + PUSHKARMOOLA CHURNA= 1 tsp with honey thrice daily after meals

-KANTAKARI AVALEHA= 10 gm with warm water twice daily

-HARIDRA + PIPPALI POWDER= 2 gm with water twice daily

-CHYAWANPRASHA= 15 gm in morning with warm water

-ABHRAK BASMA= 250 mg with ghee twice daily

-SWARNA VASANT MALTI RAS= 1 tab 125 mg once daily with honey

3) DIET AND LIFESTYLE

FAVOUR -warm, light, freshly cooked foods -old rice, wheat, barley -soups made of moong dal, blackpepper, ginger -herbal tea= tulsi, ginger, cinnamon -cow’s ghee for lung lubrication -lukewarm water

FOODS TO AVOID -cold drinks, ice cream, refrigerated food -curd, banana, heavy dairy at night -fried. oily, junk food -excess sugar -exposure to dust, cold wind, damp weather

YOGA AND BREATHING EXERCISE

PRANAYAM= Anulom Vilom, bhramari , Kapalbhati

ASANAS= bhujangasana, matyasana, setu band hasana, dhanurasana= to open chest and improve lung capacity

-Practice early morning sunlight exposure to improve vitamin D and immunity

5) RASAYANA -after cleansing, use rasayana herbs to prevent recurrence

-CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp daily in morning

-focus on seasonal regimen to adapt body to weather changes

IMPORTANT -Always keep your rescue inhaler or prescribe modern medicine handy- ayurveda supports but does not replace emergency TREATMENT

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

Dr. 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. 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.

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. Vinayak Kamble
I am about 1 year into my practice journey n honestly that feels both small n big at the same time. When I first started, I wasn’t sure how quickly I could adjust from academic space into real clinical care, but gradually with each patient I learnt something more. My main focus is on pain management—conditions like knee joint pain, sciatica, lumbar back ache, spondylitis, tennis elbow, golfer elbow, frozen shoulder, heel pain etc. I try to combine careful diagnosis with treatments rooted in Ayurveda yet explained in practical way so patients don’t feel lost. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes quick, but always there is learning in it. During this year I also kept my dedication toward research and evidence-based approach. I worked on presenting ideas and papers in academic forums whenever I got chance, and even managed to publish in journals that value Ayurveda in modern context. That gave me confidence that my small contributions can add to bigger discussions in medical field. In my postgraduate study I had finished Medicine with top score in my batch, which felt rewarding but also left me with responsibility to keep proving that I deserve that position. Honestly, academic achievements are good but real test is when someone walks in pain and goes back with relief, even if just partial at first. Sometimes patients expect instant cure, n that is where I try to keep balance—explaining how pain relief in conditions like frozen shoulder or spondylitis may take staged approach, while also keeping them hopeful. Ayurveda gives a framework but patient trust makes the treatment effective. One year is not a long time but it has been enough to show me the value of consistency, clarity and listening more than talking. My aim is not just treating pain but helping people understand their body better, manage lifestyle triggers, and feel supported in the journey of healing!!

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. Prasad Pentakota
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. 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. Suchin M
I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.
