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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Dr. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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