HELLO BABITA,

You are 51, at the beginning of menopause, and you recently moved from humid Mumbai to dry Ahmedabad.

Your hair is falling more than usual, and new hair growth has stopped.

WHY THIS IS HAPPENING:

1) MENOPAUSE AND HORMONES -during your fertile years, estrogen protects and nourishes hair follicles -After menopause, estrangen drops sharply-> hair follicles shrink-> hair becomes thinner, weaker, and may stop growing

2) CLIMATE CHANGE -MUMBAI= humid, sea air-> scalp naturally stays more moist -AHMEDABAD= dry, hot-> scalp loses moisture quickly, vata dosha rises-> hair roots dry up

3) DOSHA IMBALANCE -VATA INCREASES= dryness, breakage, premature graying -PITTA INCREASES= heat in scalp, burning sensation, inflammation of follicles-> hair loss from roots -KAPHA DECREASE= lack of nourishment and lubrication to hair

4) NUTRITIONAL DEPLETION -hair is nourished by Rasa dhatu (first body tissue after digestion0 and linked to Asthi dhatu (bone tissue) -If your digestion is weak or diet is not optimal, these tissues don’t get enough nutrition-> hair starves.

5) STRESS -emotional stress at this age (body changes, life changes) increases cortisol, which further accelerates hairfall

TREATMENT GOALS Ayurveda dosen’t just “stop hairfall”- it aims for root -level healing.

1) Balance aggravated doshas= especially vata and pitta 2) Nourish dhatus= strengthen rasa(nutrients) and asthi (bones) 3) Rejuvinate follicles= encourage dormant hair follicles to restart growth 4) Improve scalp circulation= reliever nutrition to roots 5) Calm mind and hormones= balance stress and hormonal changes 6) Improve digestion and absorption= so nutrients actually reach hair

INTERNAL TREATMENT

1) BRAINGARAJ CHURNA= 1/2 tsp daily with warm water after meals for 6 months =main herb for hair regrowth, strengthens follicles

2)AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily twice after meals for 6 months =rich in vitamin c cools pints, builds collagen

3) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for 6 months =balances female hormones, nourishes rasa dhatu

4) ASHWAGANDHA TABLETS= 1 tab twice daily in morning and night for 3-6 months =reduces stress, builds strength

5) NARASIMHA RASAYANA= 1 tsp morning and night for 3months =general rejuvenator for hair and skin

6) KESHYA RASAYANA= 1 tsp in morning for 3 months =promotes thick, strong hair

EXTERNAL OIL APPLICATIONS

1. NEELIBHRINGADI TAILA- massage warm oil 30 mins before bath for 4 times/week(ref- sahasra yoga)

2. DHURDHURAPATRADI TAILA- for scalp dryness and dandruff = twice/week(ref- bhaisajya ratnavali)

3. BRAHMI-AMLA OIL- infuse oil with fresh amla and brahmi leaves regularly use

FOR FRIZZ- use coconut or sesame base for INFLAMATION- use amla infused cooling oils

POTENT HERBAL PACKS FOR SCALP

1)CLASSIC HAIR PACK -bhringaraj churna- 1 tsp -amla powder- 1 tsp -hibiscus powder- 1 tsp -aloe vera pulp- 2tbsp Apply 1 hour before bath; rinse with herbal decoction

2)RAKTA- SODHANA SCALP LEPA -Manjistha+lodhra+triphala+sandalwood+rose water =apply during pitta-aggravated stages, especially with itching or scalp redness

ESSENTIAL FOODS -cow milk+ghee= builds Ojas, nourishes dhatu -black sesame seeds= asthi dhatu enhancer -soaked almonds(5-6)= omega 3+ protein -fresh amla(or juice)= rasayana, anti-pitta -moong dal khichdi= easily digestible -curry leaves(raw/chutney)= rich in iron and vitamin c -dates, figs, raisins= rasa dhatu replenishment

AVOID -spicy, fermented, fried , junk food -late night meals -overconsumption of tea, coffe, carbonated drinks -alcohol, smoking

LIFESTYLE + DAILY ROUTINES

MORNING ROUTINE -Wake before 6 AM= aligns with brahma muhurtha if possible

-GANDUSHA(oil pulling) with sesame oil= removes ama from head and neck

-NASYA= instill 2 drops of ANU TAILA in each nostril every morning- clears srotas, enhances hair nourishment

-SHIROABHYANGA(Hair oiling)- calms vata, strengthens follicles

-LIGHT YOGA- enhances circulation to scalp

-Avoid excessive hair drying, straightening, or coloring

-cover hair from harsh sun and dust

-reduce stress via relaxation practices

HAIR WASH -use herbal decoctions- shikakai, Geetha, amla, powder boiled and filtered -avoid chemical shampoo, hot water -wash 2-3 times/week max

YOGA ASANA -Adho much svanasana(downward dog)= increases scalp blood flow -Sarvangasana= stimulates thyroid, nourishes head region -Shirshasana= direct blood flow to scalp -Ustrasana, Matsyasana= opens up chest and throat, affects hormonal balance

PRANAYAM -Bhramari= calms mind, improves oxygen to hair roots -Anulom vilom= balances vata- pitta -Sheetali/sheetkari= pitta shamak

MEDITATION -daily 15 mins of Trataka(candle gazing)+ Dhyana can help hormonal and mental factors

HOME REMEDIES

-onion juice on scalp twice weekly- stimulates follicles -Aloe Vera gel massage- soothes and moisturizes -Currry leaf paste= strengthen roots

SPECIAL HIAR DECOCTION BOIL- 1 tsp bhringaraj, 1 tsp brahmi, 1/2 tsp yashtimadhu, 3 cups water-> reduce to 1 cup->drink daily AM or PM

-Hair fall after menopause is common, but not irreversible -Ayurveda works from inside out- improving nutrition, balancing hormones, calming the mind, and directly nourishing the scalp -with regular treatment, fall can reduce within 6-8 weeks, and visible regrowth may appear in 4-6 months -Be patient- hair has its own growth cycle, and what you start now will show results months later -consistency is more important than trying many new products. -Menopause is not the end of beauty or vitality- with proper care, your hair and health can stay vibrant.

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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 BABITA,

It sounds like the last six months have been particularly hard on you — not only adjusting to a new place but also experiencing continuous hair fall and no visible regrowth. Add to that the changes of menopause, and it’s understandable why you’re feeling distressed.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, menopause is a natural transition where Vata increases and Pitta can become aggravated, leading to dryness, heat, and hormonal shifts. Hair fall at this stage is often linked to Vata-Pitta aggravation with Dhatu Kshaya (weakening of tissues), especially Asthi Dhatu and Rakta Dhatu, which nourish hair. Environmental change — such as shifting from Mumbai’s humid sea air to Ahmedabad’s dry climate — can further dehydrate scalp tissues and accelerate fall.

The focus in Ayurveda would be to nourish the hair roots, balance Vata and Pitta, improve circulation, and support the hormonal transition, rather than only treating from the outside.

Treatment Plan

1. Internal Nourishment & Hormonal Balance (First 4 - 6weeks)

Bhringraj Churna – ½ tsp twice daily with lukewarm water or milk.

Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with lukewarm milk (supports stress balance and tissue strength).

Mahamanjishthadi Kwath – 15 ml with equal warm water after meals, twice daily (improves blood quality and scalp circulation).

2.External Hair Support

Bhringraj Taila – Warm slightly and massage into scalp 3 times a week, leave for at least 1 hour before washing.

Shikakai & Amla Powder Wash – Use instead of chemical shampoo twice a week to prevent dryness.

Avoid daily shampooing; wash hair only 2–3 times a week.

3 Diet & Lifestyle

Diet

Include: Black sesame seeds (1 tsp daily), soaked almonds, ghee, leafy greens, carrots, beetroot, amla.

Avoid: Excess spicy food, very oily deep-fried snacks, excessive tea/coffee.

Drink 2–2.5 litres warm or room temperature water daily.

Lifestyle

*Avoid combing wet hair or tying it tightly. *Practice Shitali and Sheetkari pranayama to cool excess Pitta. *20 min gentle evening walk to improve circulation. *Aim for regular sleep by 10:30 pm to support hormonal stability.

4.Investigations

*Serum ferritin (to check iron stores). *Vitamin D3 and B12 levels. *Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4).

If followed patiently, this plan aims to rebuild the body’s nourishing capacity for hair, balance menopause-related changes, and create a scalp environment for regrowth. Over time, you should see reduced hair fall, softer texture, and gradual return of new growth.

With warm regards, Dr.Sumi.S

External Scalp Nourishment

Bhringraj Taila or Neelibhringadi Taila — Warm slightly, massage gently at night, wash next morning.

For Ahmedabad’s hard water — rinse hair with filtered water + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar once a week to remove mineral deposits.

Avoid chemical dyes, heat styling, and strong shampoos — use mild herbal cleansers like Shikakai + Reetha powder or a soft sulphate-free shampoo.


3. Diet for Menopausal Hair

Daily handful of soaked black sesame seeds (rich in calcium & healthy fats).

Methi (fenugreek) seeds — soak overnight, chew in morning or grind into paste for scalp pack weekly.

Include ghee (1–2 tsp/day) — nourishes Vata and supports hormonal balance.

Avoid excess spicy, sour, and very hot foods — they aggravate Pitta and worsen follicle stress.

Prevention Oatstraw and horsetail tea are rich in silicon and trace minerals. Rosemary helps prevent premature baldness and stimulate head circulation. Sage is an astringent, and helps stimulate growth. Yarrow helps liver activity.It is said that you must faithfully do your selected hair treatment for three months before you will see results.

Diet and Lifestyle

Pathya: Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nutritious food, adequate sleep

Apathya: Avoid salt, sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. Overconsumption of salt and sugar increases dandruff and hairloss. Avoid large amounts of vitamin A.

Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp.

Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry.

1) Bhringamalakadi Taila - extly apply and massage for 10 min. - 2 time

2) Jeevamrita Leha or Chyavanaprasha Leha-1 tsf 2 times with milk after food 3) Shuddha Shilajatu-250mg + Saptamrita Loha - 500mg + bhringaraja Churna -3gm - after food with honey and ghee 2 times

Diet and Lifestyle Pathya A little sunlight is good for your scalp and hair. Keep calm and relaxed. It will help your hair. A short fast is a good way to begin the program. Then begin eating only nutritious foods. Anti-microbial shampoos are often recommended, but there is no evidence that this germkilling factor lessens the dandruff. To help control appearance, cleanse with a shampoo, designed to help control dandruff. Wash the hair in vinegar, to remove all the loose scales.

Apathya Shampoos containing selenium sulfide can cause eye damage and hairloss. Plain water alone is also good. Reduce intake of fats, grease, and all fried foods from the diet. Stop the use of alcohol. Check to see if you have food allergies (wheat, dairy products, citrus, or something else).

Avoid stress and poor elimination. Do not use strong, irritant shampoos or hair treatments. Avoid chocolate, sugar, white flour, and seafood.

Hair loss during menopause is a common concern and can be distressing. In Ayurveda, hair health is closely tied to the balance of doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. The hormonal changes you’re experiencing during menopause can exacerbate imbalances, leading to hair fall. Your recent relocation could have also introduced environmental stressors affecting your doshas.

1. Dietary Changes: Focus on a Vata and Pitta pacifying diet. Include warm, cooked foods with healthy fats like ghee and sesame oil, which help nourish the scalp and hair roots. Increase intake of protein-rich foods such as lentils, beans, nuts, and seeds, as protein is vital for hair growth. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods that can increase Pitta.

2. Herbal Supplements: Consider taking Bhringraj (Eclipta prostrata), widely known in Ayurveda for supporting hair health. A daily dose of 1-3 grams of Bhringraj churna mixed with honey can be beneficial. Yashtimadhu (licorice root) also helps balance hormones, support scalp health. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new supplement.

3. Scalp Massage: Daily scalp massage with warm oil such as coconut oil or sesame oil can improve blood circulation to the hair follicles. Add a few drops of rosemary essential oil to enhance the effect; it’s known for stimulating hair growth.

4. Stress Management: Stress can aggravate hair loss, especially during menopause. Practice yoga and meditation regularly to help balance your triglycerides and support mental calmness. Pranayama techniques, like Anulom Vilom, can help soothe the nervous system.

5. Hair Washing Routine: Avoid hot water when washing hair, it can further dry out and damage the strands. Use a mild, herbal shampoo, maybe with ingredients such as amla (Indian gooseberry) and shikakai, known for maintaining hair strength and shine.

6. Environmental Factors: Since you’ve moved from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, take note that changes in water hardness might impact hair. Using a water softener, or rinsing hair with filtered water, could reduce mineral deposit build-up on your scalp.

It’s vital to address this holistically, so connect with a local Ayurvedic practitioner in Ahmedabad for personalized treatment. While these strategies can significantly support hair health, if the condition persists or worsens, consider consulting a healthcare professional.

Hair fall and inhibited growth during menopause can be distressing, but we can approach this through Ayurveda. Considering your recent move from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, changes in water and climate can exacerbate hair issues, especially during menopause. In Siddha-Ayurveda, these symptoms suggest an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas during the menopausal transition.

To address this, first focus on your diet. Incorporate cooling and hydrating foods like fresh fruits, such as pomegranates and cucumbers, and healthy fats, like ghee and sesame oil, to pacify Vata and Pitta. Avoid excessively spicy, sour, and salty foods that increase Pitta. A daily cup of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric and a teaspoon of almond oil can nourish the hair and balance doshas.

External applications also help. Create a hair mask using amla powder mixed with water to create a paste; apply it once a week. This strengthens hair roots and can stimulate growth. Regularly massage your scalp with Brahmi or Bhringraj oil—both have roots in balancing the doshas and rejuvenating hair growth. The massage also increases blood circulation to the scalp.

For the internal balance, Triphala and Ashwagandha can be useful. Triphala supports digestion and detoxification, while Ashwagandha is known for reducing stress, a contributing factor to hair loss. Taking these in powder or capsule form, based on an Ayurvedic doctor’s advice, can be beneficial.

Maintaining a calm state of mind is crucial. Regularly practice pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom, to reduce stress and restore inner balance. This contributes to overall well-being.

If the hair fall is significant and continues despite these steps, it may be necessary to consult a trained Ayurvedic practitioner for a more personalized approach or check for underlying medical conditions that need attention.

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.

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?

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.

I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

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.

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

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.V.Yamini Sowbhagya
I am Dr. V. Yamini Sowbhagya, currently working as Assistant Professor at Dr. BRKR Govt Ayurvedic Medical College, Hyderabad—been here for 4 years now, and honestly, still learning every single day. I did both my UG and MS here itself, specialized in Streeroga & Prasuti Tantra (Ayurvedic Gyn & Obs), which kinda gave me this strong base and local connect too... everything I know grew from this place, in a way. I’m super into the preventive side of Ayurveda — like, not just fixing what’s wrong, but stopping it before it starts. I really try to create awareness wherever I can, sometimes even just in daily OP conversations. I genuinely believe half the gynaecological issues we see can be avoided if we just paid attention to simple dinacharya or food patterns or even sleep cycle. But ya, easier said than done — people come in when things go too far. I was selected as a Fellow at the Foundation for Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship (CfHE) at IITH, Kandi, Sanga Reddy... which kinda pushed me into research + innovation mode. I got to see healthcare from another angle entirely — not just as a doctor but as a thinker. That time challenged me in diff ways, not all comfortable, but really useful. Academically, I love teaching. Like, genuinely. Theory, clinics, discussion — I try to make it real and not just memory games. Students need space to ask stupid questions, and I'm okay with saying "I don’t know" sometimes n checking later. Apart from that, I keep my hands in research stuff too — been involved in quite a few platforms, from college-level to inter-institutional. And ya, I did recieve a bunch of awards n cash prizes over the years, at both state n national level... it’s nice, though I don’t chase them. What matters more is if someone somewhere feels like they got heard or healed. That’s the bit I try not to lose in all this system madness.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.
