Dr. Sumi. S
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with specialized expertise in Shalakya Tantra, focusing on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the Netra (eyes), Karna (ears), Nasa (nose), Mukha (oral cavity), Danta (teeth), and Shira (head and ENT region). My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Hello Riya,

Thank you for explaining your condition in detail. The appearance of recurrent, painful boils on different areas of your upper body, starting as small red raised spots and progressing to swollen, warm, tender lesions, indicates a Pitta–Kapha aggravation with Rakta Dushti (impurity of blood) and underlying Ama (toxic residues).

Your symptoms suggest that excess heat and toxins are circulating in the blood and skin channels (Raktavaha & Swedavaha Srotas), leading to inflammation. Addressing this will require blood purification, cooling Pitta, clearing Ama, and supporting skin immunity to prevent recurrence.

Recommended Investigations(if not done previously)

1. CBC – to check for infection or anemia. 2. Fasting Blood Sugar / HbA1c – to rule out diabetes (a common cause of recurrent boils). 3. Liver Function Test (LFT) – to assess detoxification capacity. 4. Vitamin D levels – for immune support.

Internal Medicine

Stage 1 – Ama Pachana & Rakta Shodhana (First 7 days)

1. Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime (mild detox and bowel regulation). 2. Mahamanjishthadi Kwath – 20 ml with 20 ml warm water twice daily after meals (blood purification). 3. Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after meals with warm water (antimicrobial & skin support).

Stage 2 – Maintenance & Prevention (After 7 days)

1. Neem Churna – ½ tsp twice daily with warm water (immune support & anti-pitta action). 2. Aloe Vera Juice – 20 ml on empty stomach in the morning (cooling & cleansing). 3. Manjistha Churna – ½ tsp twice daily after meals with warm water (blood cleanser).

Diet & Lifestyle Tips

Avoid:

1.Spicy, oily, fried foods, excessive sweets. 2.Sour fermented foods (pickles, vinegar). 3.Prolonged sun exposure without protection.

Include:

1.Bitter vegetables (bottle gourd, ridge gourd, bitter gourd). 2.Fresh coriander water or infused cucumber water daily. 3.Green leafy vegetables, carrots, beetroot for blood health.

Lifestyle:

1.Maintain good skin hygiene; wear loose cotton clothes. 2Gentle application of neem + turmeric paste over fresh boils for 20–30 min. 3.Adequate hydration with warm or room temperature water. 4.Evening walk (20–30 min) to support circulation and detox.

May your skin regain its natural balance and strength, and the cycle of boils come to a complete stop. Please feel free to reach out for follow-up and medicine adjustments based on progress.

With kind regards, Dr. Sumi

HELLO RIYA,

You’re getting repeated painful boils on your upper body

From a modern angle -boils(furuncles) are infections of hair follicles caused mostly by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. -They start as red, tender bumps, then swell, become painful and may fill with pus. -Recurrent boils can be linked to -poor immunity -skin bacteria overgrowth -diabetes -nutritional deficiencies -chronic skin inflammation

FROM AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE -Boils are a result of Pitta dosha aggravation (heat, inflammation) with rakta dhatu dushti (impurity in blood) and often kapha involvement (swelling, pus formation) -Poor digestion and ama (toxin) accumulation feed this process -The condition may be related to Kushtha, pidaka, or dushta vrana in Ayurveda’s classification.

TREATMENT GOALS We treat both symptoms and the root cause -reduce pain, swelling, and heat (controls pitta and inflammation) -purify blood -remove toxins from the body -improve immunity -prevent recurrence -promote healthy skin regeneration

INTERNAL TREATMENT

1) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 6-8 weeks =purifies blood, cools pitta, reduces skin inflammation

2) PANCHATIKTA GHRITA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 6 weeks =detoxifies skin, dries pus, prevents spread

3) NEEM CAPSULES POWDER= 500 mg cap twice daily after meals for 2 months =natural antibiotic and blood purifier

4) TRIPHALA POWDER= 1 tsp with warm water at night =keeps bowel clean , supports detox

5) GUDUCHI CAPSULES= 500 mg cap twice daily after rmeals for 2 months =immune booster and anti-inflamatory

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) NEEM PASTE= crush fresh leaves, apply on boils to reduce infection

2) TURMERIC + COCONUT OIL PASTE= turmeric is antiseptic , coconut oil cools and sootes

3) TRIPHALA DECOCTION WASH= boil 2 tsp Triphala powder in 2 cups water, cool, and wash affected area daily

4) ALOE VERA GEL= apply after boils heal to reduce scars and soothe skin

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

DO -bathe daily with lukewarm water; use herbal soaps with neem/tulsi -wear loose, breathable cotton clothes -wash sweat off quickly after workouts -keep nails trimmed; avoid scratching

AVOID -oily, fried, spicy, fermented foods -excess sugar and packaged junk foods -staying in excessive heat or direct sun -overuse of chemical skin products

DIET -green leafy vegetables- spinach, fenugreek, drumstick leaves -bittervegetables- bitter gourd, neem flowers -fruits like pomegranate, apple, pear -cooling foods= cucumber, bottle gourd, ridge gourd -coriander leaf water, barley water

AVOID -excess chilli, pickles, vinegar -red meat, shellfish -deep fried snacks -ice cold drinks slow digestion and immunity

YOGA ASANA -bhujangasana -paschimottanasana -matsyasana -twisting poses for liver detox

PRANAYAM -sheetali and sheetkari -anulom-vilom

HOME REMEDIES -turmeric milk= 1/2 tsp turmeric in warm milk daily

-Neem water= boil 10-12 leaves in 2 cups water, drink when lukewarm

-Coriander sed water= soak 1 tsp sees overnight, drink in morning

-Fresh Aloe Vera juice= 20 ml on empty stomach

FINALLLY -Boils are sign your body is trying o expel toxins through skin -Modern medicine can drain and treat infection quickly, but Ayurveda works on root cause correction- purifying blood, balancing doshas, improving digestion, and boosting immunity so boils dont keep coming back -with the right medications, diet, and cleansing , recurrence can be reduced or completely prevented over time

Healing takes patience and consistency- most people see clear improvement in 4-8 weeks, but prevention is a long tern lifestyle habit

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

​In Ayurveda, the appearance of boils (known as ‘vidradhi’ or ‘pidika’) is generally attributed to an imbalance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The specific symptoms you describe, such as redness, warmth, and pain, are often associated with an aggravation of the Pitta dosha, particularly its sub-type, Bhrajaka Pitta, which governs the skin. ​According to Ayurvedic principles, the accumulation of toxins (‘ama’) in the body, coupled with an imbalance of the doshas, can manifest as skin conditions like boils. The recurring nature and appearance on different parts of the upper body suggest a systemic issue rather than a localized one.

​Common Ayurvedic perspectives on the causes of boils include:

​Pitta aggravation: This can be caused by consuming an excess of hot, spicy, oily, or fermented foods, as well as by exposure to excessive heat or anger.

​Improper diet and lifestyle: Irregular eating habits, consumption of incompatible food combinations (‘viruddha ahara’), and lack of proper hygiene can contribute to the problem.

​Accumulation of toxins: A sluggish digestive system and impaired detoxification processes can lead to the buildup of ‘ama’, which can then be released through the skin.

​Blood vitiation: Ayurvedic texts often refer to ‘rakta dushti’ or vitiation of the blood, which is believed to be a significant factor in various skin diseases.

​Ayurvedic approaches to managing boils typically involve a combination of the following:

​Pitta-pacifying diet: This includes avoiding hot, spicy, oily, and fried foods. Favoring cooling, bitter, and astringent foods such as green leafy vegetables, cucumber, and pomegranate.

​Herbal remedies: Certain herbs are traditionally used to cleanse the blood, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Some examples include Neem, Manjistha, and Guduchi.

​Detoxification (‘Panchakarma’): In some cases, a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner may recommend a detoxification therapy like ‘Virechana’ (purgation) to cleanse the body of excess Pitta and toxins.

​Topical applications: Herbs like Neem or Turmeric can be made into a paste and applied externally to the boils to help with their maturation and healing.

Recurring boils can indicate an imbalance in your body’s doshas, particularly an aggravation of Pitta (heat-related) and Kapha (blockage-related) doshas. In Ayurveda, boils are often seen as a manifestation of accumulated toxins (Ama) in the body, which disrupts the balance of your internal energies. Here are some practical tips to help you manage this condition:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Favor a diet cooling to Pitta and reducing Kapha. Consume more foods like cucumber, bitter gourd, green vegetables, and fruits like pomegranate, grapes, or pears, which are known for their cooling properties. Avoid spicy, oily, or fried foods and minimize intake of dairy products and sugar, which can aggravate Kapha.

2. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as it helps in flushing out toxins. Herbal teas like chamomile or coriander can also be soothing and help balance Pitta dosha.

3. Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene, keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further inflammation. Use a mild, natural soap and avoid harsh chemicals.

4. Topical Remedies: Apply turmeric paste (mix turmeric powder with water or coconut oil) directly on the boils, as turmeric has natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Place this paste on the boils for about 15-20 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.

5. Internal Cleansing: Safeguard against the build-up of toxins by regularly consuming Triphala, an Ayurvedic herbal formula. Take 1/2 teaspoon with warm water before bed to help cleanse your system and boost digestion.

6. Stress Management: Stress can exacerbate imbalances. Practice yoga or meditation daily for calming the mind and restoring balance to your body.

7. Seek Medical Attention: If the boils are persistent, painful, or you notice signs of infection such as pus or fever, consult a healthcare professional promptly as antibiotics or other interventions might be necessary.

These recommendations are derived from Ayurvedic principles and aim to address the root cause of the problem. However, imbalances are unique to each individual, so it’s essential to keep monitoring your condition and seeking personalized advice when needed.

Boils, or furuncles, are often due to bacterial infections in hair follicles and can be painful and bothersome. Let’s explore a few Ayurvedic measures that could help address the issue. The presence of recurring boils often suggests an imbalance in the doshas, particularly an aggravation of the Pitta dosha, which can lead to heat and inflammation in the body. First, enhancing your agni, or digestive fire, could be beneficial in reducing toxins, or ama, which contribute to these issues.

One practical step would be to include neem leaves, which have antibacterial properties, in your daily regimen. You can apply a paste of fresh neem leaves directly onto the boils and leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. Do this twice daily to support healing. Simultaneously, consuming 2-3 neem leaves on an empty stomach can also help to purify the blood.

Dietary changes can also be crucial. Try to avoid excessively spicy, oily, or sour foods that might aggravate Pitta. Instead, favor cooling, balancing foods like sweet fruits, leafy greens, and naturally sweet grains like rice. Ensure good hydration by sipping on warm, boiled water throughout the day, which supports cleansing pathways.

Moreover, practicing moderate, regular physical exercise can aid in maintaining balanced energy flow and preventing blockages in the nadis. However, if the boils persist or begin to spread further, seeking immediate medical evaluation is essential to rule out more serious conditions or infections that may require specific treatment. Remember, these steps should supplement, not replace, any necessary conventional care.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. 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. Prasad Pentakota
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. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.
