I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where Iâve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really areâwhen used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. Thatâs 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 donât jump to giving a long list of medicines straight awayâfirst 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 planâherbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes theyâre tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox.
Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I donât just look at the symptomâI think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka thatâll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. Thatâs 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-circleâcleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on.
What Iâm hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple toolsâahara, vihara, aushadhaâused consistently, with some trust in the bodyâs own healing. Iâm still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health againâthatâs what keeps me rooted to this.
