It’s good that you’re seeking a holistic approach to your health, especially with high blood pressure, diabetes, and liver inflammation, coupled with stress. Ayurveda offers valuable perspectives on managing these interconnected conditions.

Understanding Your Current Situation from an Ayurvedic Perspective:

High Blood Pressure (150/83): In Ayurveda, high blood pressure (often called Rakta Gata Vata or Urdhwaga Rakta Pitta) is seen as an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas. Stress significantly aggravates Vata, leading to constricted channels and increased pressure.

Diabetes (Madhumeha): Diabetes is primarily a Kapha disorder, but Vata can also play a role, especially when stress is present. The body’s inability to properly metabolize sugar is often linked to impaired Agni (digestive fire) and accumulation of Ama (toxins).

Liver Inflammation (Yakrit Shotha/Yakrit Vikara): The liver is the seat of Pitta dosha. Inflammation indicates an excess of Pitta, which can be exacerbated by stress, improper diet, and accumulated toxins.

Stress: Stress is a major contributing factor to all your conditions. It directly impacts Vata, leading to anxiety, poor sleep, and aggravated nervous system, which in turn affects blood pressure, blood sugar regulation, and liver function.

Medications:

BP Care (Herbal BP Medication): It’s important to know the specific ingredients in “BP Care” to assess its Ayurvedic compatibility and potential interactions. Many Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha, Arjuna, Brahmi, Tulsi, Triphala, and Punarnava are known to support blood pressure.

Almunaib (Adalimumab) for Arthritis: Adalimumab is a conventional biologic medication that works by blocking TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) to reduce inflammation. While it effectively manages arthritis, it’s a powerful drug that can suppress the immune system. Ayurveda would focus on addressing the root cause of inflammation (often an aggravated Vata or Pitta with Ama) and supporting overall joint health and immunity.

Metformin for Diabetes: Metformin is a standard allopathic medication that helps lower blood sugar by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. It’s crucial to continue this as prescribed.

Ayurveda Opinion

Ayurveda emphasizes a personalized approach. While general recommendations can be given, consulting a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner is highly recommended for a tailored treatment plan, especially with multiple complex conditions and ongoing allopathic medications.

Here’s a general Ayurvedic perspective on managing your conditions:

1. Stress Management (Key Focus):

Lifestyle:

Routine (Dinacharya): Establish a consistent daily routine, including fixed times for waking, eating, and sleeping. This helps pacify Vata.

Yoga and Pranayama: Gentle yoga postures (like Balasana, Setu Bandhasana, Shavasana) and breathing exercises (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari Pranayama) are incredibly effective in calming the nervous system and reducing stress.

Meditation/Mindfulness: Even short periods of daily meditation can significantly reduce stress and promote mental clarity.

Adequate Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep, ideally going to bed before 10 PM. This is crucial for liver repair and overall well-being.

Nature Connection: Spend time in nature to ground yourself and reduce mental agitation.

Ashwagandha: A powerful adaptogen to reduce stress, anxiety, and support overall resilience.

Brahmi: Calms the mind, improves cognitive function, and helps manage stress-induced headaches.

Jatamansi: Known for its calming and sleep-promoting properties.

Tulsi (Holy Basil): An adaptogen that helps the body cope with stress.

2. Blood Pressure Management:

Diet:

Reduce Sodium: Limit processed foods, pickles, and excessive salt.

Increase Potassium-Rich Foods: Include bananas, spinach, sweet potatoes.

Avoid Pungent, Salty, and Sour Foods: These can aggravate Pitta and Vata.

Focus on Whole Grains, Fresh Fruits, and Vegetables: Especially those with bitter and astringent tastes.

Hydration: Drink warm water throughout the day.

Herbs (Check for interactions with “BP Care”):

Arjuna: Traditionally used to strengthen the heart and regulate blood pressure.

Garlic: Known for its blood-pressure-lowering effects.

Cinnamon: May help improve insulin sensitivity and support blood pressure.

Amla: Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, good for heart health.

3. Diabetes Management:

Diet:

Avoid Refined Sugars and Processed Foods: These directly contribute to blood sugar imbalances.

Reduce Heavy, Oily, and Cold Foods: These can increase Kapha.

Emphasize Bitter and Astringent Tastes: Include bitter gourd, neem, fenugreek.

Fibers: Incorporate plenty of fiber-rich foods to help regulate blood sugar absorption.

Spice Use: Use spices like turmeric, cinnamon, and cumin, which are beneficial for metabolism.

Herbs (in conjunction with Metformin, under professional guidance):

Gudmar (Gymnema Sylvestre): Known as the “sugar destroyer,” it helps reduce sugar cravings and improves insulin action.

Neem: Bitter and detoxifying, good for blood purification.

Fenugreek (Methi): Helps slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Turmeric (Curcumin): Anti-inflammatory and improves insulin sensitivity.

4. Liver Inflammation:

Diet (Pitta-pacifying):

Avoid Spicy, Oily, and Fermented Foods: These can aggravate Pitta.

Favor Bitter and Sweet Tastes: Include leafy greens, fresh fruits, and cooling foods.

Limit Alcohol: If consumed, it should be strictly limited or avoided entirely.

Intermittent Fasting (if suitable and advised by a practitioner): Can give the liver a rest.

Herbs:

Guduchi (Giloy): A powerful rejuvenator that helps remove toxins and reduce inflammation.

Kutki and Bhumyamalaki: Specific herbs known for their liver-protective and regenerative properties.

Triphala: A gentle detoxifier that supports overall digestion and can indirectly benefit the liver.

Turmeric: Its anti-inflammatory properties are beneficial for liver health.

Important Considerations:

while managing high blood pressure, diabetes, liver inflammation, and stress simultaneously requires careful attention, Ayurveda offers a holistic framework that focuses on lifestyle, diet, and herbal support to bring balance back to your system. Always prioritize open communication with your healthcare providers to ensure safe and effective management of your health.

HELLO ALIMUN RAHIM,

You have -high blood pressure (150/83) -diabetes -liver inflammation -arthritis -stress

From an Ayurvedic view -High bp is called Rakta gata vata (vata affecting blood circulation) or Rakta pitta (pitta aggravation in blood) depending on symptoms. -Diabetes is a kapha-vata disorder where metabolism slows and sugar remains in blood -Liver inflammation comes from excess pitta heat and sometimes Ama(toxins) from weak digestion -Arhritis is mainly vata aggravation in joints

In you, the root causes seem to be

1) PITTA IMBALANCE= causing heat, inflamamtion, irritability, liver issues

2)VATA IMBALANCE= from stress, irregular routine, leading to BP fluctuation and arthritis

3) KAPHA IMBALANCE= slowing metabolism, increasing blood sugar

Thes three doshas are interacting so treatment must calm all- especially pitta and vata

TREATMENT GOALS Ayurveda works on root cause, not just symptoms

The plan aims to 1)Reduce blood pressure by calming vata and pitta and improving blood vessel relaxtion

2) Control blood sugar by reducing kapha and improving digestion and metabolism

3) Heal liver and reduce inflamamtion

4) Support joints and reduce arthritis pain

5) Manage stress to prevent bp spikes

6) Remove ama (toxins) from body and blood

7) Prevent complications like heat strain kidney damage or vision problems

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ARJUNA CHURNA= 3 gm twice daily with warm water for 3 months morning and night =strengthen heart, regulate Bp

2) PUNARNAVA CHURNA= 2 gm twice daily after meal for 3 months =reduces swelling, improves kidney liver function

3) AMLA JUICE= 20 ml juice daily after meals =cooling, antioxidant, liver protection

4) TRIPHALA POWDER= 1 tsp at night with warm water =mild detox, antioxidants, liver protection

5) BHUMYAMALAKI CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after rmeals for 3 months =liver healing , pitta cooling

6) KUTKI CHURNA= 250 mg twice daily with honey after meals for 2months =potent liver detox and bile balance

7) SARPAGANDHA VATI= 2 tabs in morning =strog bp lowering medicine

8) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months=diabetes and urinary health support

FOOT MASSAGE with ghee at night= calms vata and improves sleep

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -maintain fixed sleep wake time (10pm-6am ideal) -avoid overthinking, late nights, excessive screen use -take short breaks during mental work -avoid extreme heat and direct sun exposure -practice mindful eating- no talking, phone, or rushing during meals

YOGA ASANA -tadasana= improves circulation -vrikshasana= improves balance and nerve function -Setu bandhasana= strengthens heart -Paschimottanasana= calms mind, reduces bp

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= 10 min daily -bhramari= 7 rounds, calming effect -sheetali= cooling breath, reduces pitta

MEDITATION= 15-20 min daily

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED

AVOID -excess salt, fired/oilly food -red meat -refined sugar, -alcohol, coffee -sour pickles, chili, vinegar

INCLUDE -whole grains= barley, oats, red rice -Light lentils- green gran, split moong dal -Vegetables= bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkinn, ash gourd, spinach (lightly cooked) -Fruits= apple, guava, papaya, pomegranate -Spices= coriander, cumin, fennel , turmeric avoidd too much chilli

HYDRATION= warm water with cumin- coriander - fennel seeds

HOME REMEDIES

1) GARLIC= 2 raw cloves daily= bp and cholesterol control

2) LEMON WATER= empty stomach with pinch of cumin powder

3) CORIANDER SEED WATER= soak 1 tsp overnight, drink next morning

4) AMAL JUICE= 20 ml daily for bp and sugar control

5) PAPAYA= empty stomach for mild liver detox

INVESTIGATION NEEDED

-Bp monitoring= morning and evening for 2 weeks -pasting and postprandial blood sugar= monthly -HbA1c= every 3 months -LFT= every 3-6 months -KFT= every 6 months -Liid profile= every 6 months -Eye check up= yearly(diabetes and bp can affect retina)

High bp in your case is not just stress- it’s a combination of inflammation, metabolic imbalance, and nervous system overactivity Ayurveda will aim to cool pitta, calm vata , and clear Ama - which in turn -lowers Bp naturally -Improves blood sugar -protects liver -relieves arthritis pain -keeps the mind calm

But- this must go hand - in- hand with medical monitoring especially because you are already on other medicationd

Never stop allopathic Bp or diabetes medicines suddenly- we slowly integrate Ayuvedic care and then taper dose under guidance

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

HELLO ALIMUN RAHIM

It sounds like your health has been juggling quite a few challenges lately — stress, diabetes, liver inflammation, high blood pressure, and arthritis. The blood pressure reading of 150/83 suggests your cardiovascular system is under extra strain, and with blood sugar and liver health also involved, your body is asking for a more balanced, integrated approach.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, this is a mix of Pitta-Kapha aggravation with Ama accumulation, affecting Rakta Dhatu (blood), Meda Dhatu (fat metabolism), and Yakrit (liver). Chronic stress also disturbs Vata, which worsens blood pressure fluctuations and joint discomfort. While you’re already on herbal BP Care, metformin, and arthritis injections, Ayurveda would start with clearing toxins, supporting liver health, and calming the nervous system, while keeping sugar and BP under control.

Treatment Plan

Ama Pachana & Agni Deepana (First week)

Goal: Clear toxic build-up, support liver function, and stabilise metabolism.

1.Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (supports liver detox, regulates bowels). 2.Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after meals with warm water. 3.Punarnavarishta – 15 ml with equal water after meals, twice daily (reduces swelling, supports kidney-liver circulation).

Blood Pressure & Blood Sugar Support (From 2nd week onwards)

1.Sarpagandha Vati – 1 tablet at night (monitor BP regularly). 2.Nisha Amalaki Churna – ½ tsp twice daily before meals (supports blood sugar control and liver health).

Continue your BP Care formulation alongside, but monitor for any low readings.

Daily Practices

Diet

Avoid: Excess salt, fried foods, red meat, refined sugar, alcohol, and packaged snacks.

Include: Warm, freshly cooked meals with whole grains like barley, brown rice, or millet. *Favour bitter vegetables (bottle gourd, ridge gourd, bitter gourd), green leafy vegetables, and turmeric. *Use spices like cumin, coriander, fennel, and small amounts of black pepper.

Lifestyle *Gentle evening walks (15–20 min) to improve circulation and reduce stress. *Morning breathing practice: Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) 7–10 minutes. *Reduce screen time before bed and sleep by 10:30 pm.

Investigations

*Liver function test (LFT) every 3–4 months. *HbA1c every 3 months for diabetes monitoring. *Lipid profile (to check cholesterol status).

If you follow this staged approach, the aim is to detoxify the system, lighten the load on your liver, stabilise BP and sugar, and reduce inflammation. Over time, this should make your energy steadier, BP more stable, and joint discomfort easier to manage.

With Warm Regards, Dr.Sumi.S

Managing high blood pressure (hypertension) particularly when you’re dealing with stress, diabetes, and liver inflammation requires a comprehensive approach. Ayurveda can offer support but its also important to maintain regular consultations with your healthcare professionals due to your ongoing conditions.

Addressing stress, start by incorporating daily practices of mindfulness or meditation. Even 10 minutes a day can help reduce stress levels which is sometimes overlooked when managing hypertension. Also, practice Pranayama or deep breathing exercises, such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), it’s particularly effective in calming the mind, helping control both stress and blood pressure.

Regarding your diet, focus on incorporating more fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid processed food, excess salt, and sugar-laden items which can contribute to hypertension. Garlic has hypotensive properties, try adding it to your diet or consider a garlic supplement under supervision. Additionally, decoction made of herbs such as Arjuna, and Brahmi may support healthy blood pressure. Always discuss with your doctor before adding new herbal supplements, especially considering your medications.

Exercise gently daily, adapt it to your energy levels and capacity. Walking or gentle yoga can support cardiovascular health without overstraining your body, be mindful of not overexerting yourself.

Since your dealing with liver inflammation, incorporate turmeric and milk thistle, known for their liver-supportive properties. Use turmeric cautiously; it can interfere with some medications. Ensure hydration and aim for adequate rest; both can significantly impact your body’s ability to manage stress and liver function.

Given your diabetes, monitor your blood sugar alongside blood pressure; fluctuations can influence each other. Continue your prescribed medications as advised by your physician, and keep them updated on any changes or new symptoms. It’s crucial to balance administrative of all treatments to avoid complications.

When blood pressure remains elevated despite your diligent use of herbal remedies such as BP Care, it could point to several intertwined factors including stress, diabetes, liver inflammation, and current medications. First, understanding that each element contributes to your health condition is crucial. Herbal remedies can assist but might not be sufficient on their own if the root causes aren’t adequately managed.

In the Siddha-Ayurvedic approach, high blood pressure can arise from an imbalance in Pitta dosha, possibly aggravated by stress and liver inflammation. Specifically, addressing Pitta through a prescribed diet and lifestyle modifications would be beneficial. Reduce intake of spicy foods, excessive salt, and oily food, while integrating Pitta-pacifying vegetables like cucumber and zucchini. Emphasize cooling and calming practices, such as meditation or deep-breathing exercises daily to help reduce stress levels, as stress contributes directly to Pitta imbalance and thereby to hypertension.

With diabetes being a factor, it’s equally essential to maintain a consistent routine with your metformin and monitor blood sugar levels routinely. Incorporate mildly bitter herbs, such as karela (bitter gourd) juice, which could assist in regulating blood glucose levels but ensure it doesn’t interfere with your medications. Ensuring digestion is strong, known as maintaining Agni, is vital as well. Ginger tea can aid digestion without warming Pitta excessively; however observe how your body reacts.

Given that you’re also receiving injections for arthritis, these medications might influence your liver function and could interact with herbal and Ayurvedic treatments. It’s prudent to regularly consult with both your healthcare provider and an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure a comprehensive approach that respects potential interactions or side effects.

If your blood pressure readings continue to stay high despite these adjustments, it’s crucial to seek a medical evaluation to avoid complications. Uncontrolled hypertension could pose dangers like heart disease or stroke. To safeguard your health, monitoring and adjusting your interventions under professional advice can guide your path to balance.

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.

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. 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.

I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

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. 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.

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.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

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. 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. 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.
