I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

Hello Shreedhar, Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. It is clear you have been dealing with these issues for a significant amount of time but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

YOUR CONCERN 👉mandagni (weak digestive fire) 👉bloating , constipation, memory issues, and fatigue, 👉along with a diagnosis of GERD This points to a complex imbalance involving both Vata and Kapha doshas.

The fact that you are already using Chiruvilwadi Kashaya, Balarishtam, and Ashwagandha shows you are on the right path by seeking Ayurvedic solutions.😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF. TREATMENT

☑️ ANALYSIS OF YOUR CURRENT MEDICATION -

✔️Chiruvilwadi Kashaya: This is an excellent choice. It is primarily used for digestive issues, piles, and fistulas. It helps to regulate bowel movements and strengthen Agni, helps to relive your constipation and mandagni.

✔️ Balarishtam: This is a nerve tonic and rejuvenator. It is generally used to pacify Vata and improve strength. It can be beneficial for fatigue and the Vata component of your issues.

✔️Ashwagandha: A powerful Rasayana (rejuvenator) Ashwagandha is great for reducing stress, improving energy levels, and calming the nervous system,

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Chiruvilwadi kashaya 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water after food 2 hinguvasthaka choorna 1 tsp with warm water just before your lunch ( promote digestive fire) 3 takaristham 30ml+30ml water after lunch ( this will relieve your bloating) 4 you can continue ashwagandha and balaristham 5 Dadimadi ghrita 1 tsp at bed time follwed by warm water ( This will help to control GERD )

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅INCLUDE- Light, warm, and freshly prepared meals. Include cooked vegetables like beetroot, carrots Use digestive spices like ginger (in moderation), cumin, coriander, and fennel. Incorporate cooked grains like rice and quinoa.

❌Avoid Heavy, cold, and processed foods Limit raw salads, cold drinks, and ice cream. Reduce fermented foods, spicy curries, and fried foods, which can worsen your GERD. Avoid overeating and eating late at night.

☑️LIFESTYLE TIP - ✅ Support Your Agni- Sip on warm water throughout the day. A simple ginger-cumin-fennel tea can be very beneficial for your digestion. Add a pinch of ginger, cumin, and fennel seeds to hot water and sip it after meals

✅ Regular Routine Try to wake up and sleep at consistent times. A regular schedule helps to pacify Vata.

✅Gentle Exercise: Light activities like walking, yoga, and gentle stretching can help improve circulation and relieve gas and bloating.

✅ Manage Stress: Chronic stress can weaken Agni. Incorporate calming practices like Pranayama (especially slow, deep breathing), meditation to reduce stress

☑️ Consistency is Key: The path to balancing your doshas requires patience and consistent effort. Small changes made daily will have a cumulative effect.

Hope You found this helpful

Wish a Good health 😊 Dr Snehal Vidhate

If your problem is cronic you would need a complete chk. If USG etc. are done. Pls mention significant indications if any…

Also follow - 1. Sip warm water through the day, avoid cold drinks. 2. Agni-boosting morning drink — Fresh ginger slice + pinch of rock salt + few drops lemon before breakfast.

3. Meal discipline — Eat only when genuinely hungry; avoid grazing/snacking.

4. Avoid incompatible foods — Milk + sour fruits, milk + fish, cold + hot foods together. 5. Light night meal — Moong dal soup, vegetable stew, khichdi. 6. Regular physical activity — Even 20–30 min brisk walk improves agni.

HELLO SHREEDAHR ,

It sounds like this slow digestion has been a long and stubborn companion for you six years is a long time to keep dealing with the same discomfort day after day. When the digestive fire (Agni) becomes weak (Mandagni), food doesn’t break down fully, which leaves behind undigested residue (Ama). Over time, this doesn’t just cause bloating or heaviness it also starts affecting your energy, mood, and even other organs.

Your use of Chiruvilwadi Kashaya, Balarishtam, and Ashwagandha is good, but here’s the thing while Balarishtam and Ashwagandha are nourishing, they are heavy in nature. When Agni is weak, heavy tonics can sometimes make digestion slower, unless the Agni is first strengthened. Ayurveda usually focuses on first “rekindling the digestive fire” before giving long-term tonics.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, your GERD also means that along with Mandagni, there’s a disturbance in Pitta (acidic heat) that’s rising upwards. This means medicines must be chosen carefully they should stimulate digestion without increasing acidity.

Treatment Plan

1. Ama Pachana & Agni Deepana (First 2–3 weeks)

Hingwashtak Churna – ½ teaspoon with warm water before meals, twice daily. Jeerakadyarishtam – 15 ml with equal warm water after meals, twice daily.

Continue Chiruvilwadi Kashaya before meals, but stop Balarishtam and Ashwagandha for now—these can be restarted once Agni improves.

2. After Agni Improves (From week 3 onwards)

Ashwagandha Churna or Balarishtam can be reintroduced for strength and nourishment. Add Amlapittahara Churna (½ teaspoon twice daily after meals) if acidity still persists.

3. Daily Practices Sip warm water through the day instead of cold or chilled drinks. Avoid reheated or leftover food as much as possible. Include ginger, cumin, and ajwain in cooking.

4. Investigations H. pylori test (if not already done). Liver function test (LFT).

If you follow this approach, the aim is to first wake up your digestive fire without irritating your stomach lining, and then slowly rebuild your strength. Over time, this should make both your digestion and GERD much more manageable.

You are not stuck with this forever your body has the capacity to heal, and we’ll work step-by-step to get you there.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO SHREEDHAR,

You have Mandagni - in Ayurveda, this means your digestive fire is weak.

Think of Agni as the “cooking flame” in your stomach and intestines

-If it’s too strong-> food burns too quickly (acidity, ulcers) -If it’s too weak-> food stays half-cooked in the stomach -> leads to Ama (toxic, sticky by products of poor digestion).

Because your Agni is weak: -VATA is going up-> dryness in colon-> constipation, bloating, gas, restlessness in mind -KAPHA is going up-> heaviness, sluggish metabolism, lethargy -Ama is circulating-> fatigue, poor memory, brain fog, coating on tongue, bad breath

Your GERD means your stomach is sometimes producing acid irregularly- it’s like the stove flame flickering between too low and sudden flare-ups

TREATMENT GOALS we don’t want to just “boost digestion” in a brute- force way- that could worsen your acidity. Our approach will be gradual rekindling of Agni while keeping acid levels balanced.

GOALS

1) STRENGTHEN AGNI-> so food digests completely without causing burning

2) CLEAR AMA-> remove undigested residues from body

3) BALANCE VAATA AND KAPHA-> restore energy, lightness, and reugular bowel movements

4) PROTECT THE STOMACH LINING-> prevent GERD flares

5) SUPPORT MENTAL CLARITY-> improve focus and reduce fatigue

INTERNAL MEDICINES

A) FOR AGNI KINDLERS AND AMA DESTROYERS

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with first bites of lunch and dinner for 3 months =relieves gas, bloating, stimulates digestion gently

-TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey after lunch and dinner for 2 months (stop if acidity flare) =clears Ama, stimulates metabolism, reduces kapha mucus coating

-CHITRAKADI VATI= 1 tab twice daily before meals with warm water for 8 weeks =very effective in stubborn mandagni, but must be monitored in GERD

B) VATA-KAPHA BALANCERS

-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp in warm water before bed for 3 months =cleans colon, improves peristalsis , mild detox

-BALARISHTA= 20 ml with equal warm water after meals for 3 months =suports nerve health, reduces vata aggravation boosts strength

C) MIND AND ENERGY SUPPORT

-BRAHMI GHRITA= 1 tsp on empty stomach in morning for 3 months =nourishes brain, calms nerves, support memory

-ASHWAGANDHA LEHYAM= 1 tsp after meals for 3 months =adaptoggen, strengthens body, reduces fatigue

EXTERNAL THERAPUES

1) OIL MASSAGE= WITH MAHANARAYAN TAILA =daily or alternate days slightly warm oil =pacifies vata, improves digestion indirectly by calming nervous system

2) STEAM TO ABDOMEN= once or twice weekly =improves circulation to gut, helps with bloating

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

WHAT TO AVOID(they aggravate ama, vata, kapha, or GERD) -skipping meals or eating at irregular times -cold drinks, ice creams, frozen food -leftovers, stale food -heavy dairy at night (milk, curd, panner) -very spicy, oily, deep-fried food -oereating or lying down right after meals -long daytime naps

WHAT TO FOLLOW -eat in a calm environment -eat only when hungry -sit in vajrasana for 5 min after meals helps digestion -maintain fixed sleep schedule (10pm-6am) -keep body warm (avoid cold exposure to abdomen)

DIET

BASE DIET= warm, freshly, cooked, light meals

GRAINS= old rice, barley, millets (light)

LEGUMES= moong dal, massor dal (easier to digest)

VEGETABLES= lightly cooked carrots, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, spinach. Avoid cabbage, cauliflower, brinjal initially (gas forming)

SPICES= ginger, cumin, ajwain, coriander , black pepper (moderate)

FATS= small amounts of cow ghee (helps vata)

BEVERAGES= warm water, herbal teas (ginger-fennel-coriander)

YOGA AND PRANAYAM

ASANAS -vajrasana after meals 5 min -pawanmuktasana - gas release -marjariasana -trikonasana digestion stimulation

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances doshas -bhramari= calms mind -avoid kapalbhati in GERD phase

HOME REMEDIES

1) Ginger-lemon-honey water in morning (skip lemon in GERD flare)

2) Ajwain + black salt chew after heavy meals

3) Jeera water - boil cumin in water, sip warm through the day for bloating

4) Roasted fennel seeds after meals to freshen and help digestion

INVESTIGATIONS

-CBC= check anemia, infectios -ESR/CRP= inflammation markers -THYROID PROFILE= hypothyroidism slows digestion -Liver function tests -H.PYLORI TEST= common in chronic GERD -stool routine and occult blood -Ultrasound abdomen if bloating is persistent

You’ve been living with weak digestion for 6 years- that means the problem is deep-seated in both your digestion and metabolism. Ayurveda’s strength is in addressing not just the symptoms but the root cause - balancing the dosha, cleansing Ama, and strengthening Agni so that your body heals naturally.

The key here is patience and consistency

-Follow medicines for at least 2-3 months before judging full results -maintain diet/lifestyle changes lifelong to prevent relapse -listen to your body - if a remedy increases burning, stop and modify -gently, sustained improvement will lead to permanent change.

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

Addressing mandagni requires a comprehensive approach targeting both dietary and lifestyle changes alongside specific Ayurvedic remedies. You mentioned chiruvilwadi kashaya, balarishtam, and ashwagandha which are beneficial, but it’s essential to ensure they align with your particular cause of mandagni. Let’s adjust your regimen with tailored suggestions.

For boosting agni, introducing trikatu churna can stimulate digestive fire. You can take about 1/2 teaspoon with honey before meals. Ensure you start with small, comfortable quantities and observe how your body responds.

Sesame oil abhyanga (self-massage) can be a great addition to harmonize vata and kapha, often linked to sluggish digestion. Apply warm sesame oil all over your body, leave it on for 30 minutes, then wash off with warm water. Aim to practice this 2-3 times per week.

Diet plays a critical role; focus on warm, light, and freshly cooked foods. Avoid cold drinks, excessive use of raw foods and leftovers as they can further affect your digestion. Incorporate spices such as ginger, cumin, and mustard seeds while cooking.

Regularity in meals is crucial. Try to have a fixed eating schedule every day, with the main meal around midday. Chew your food properly to aid digestion, and avoid overeating, even with healthy foods.

Lastly, in terms of lifestyle, moderating physical exercise to moderate levels like brisk walking can support bowel movement without straining your system. Also ensure good quality sleep by going to bed by 10 PM is important to maintain digestive efficiency.

Emergencies or significant worsening of symptoms still demand a visit to a healthcare professional. These steps are suitable for long-term management, nothing replaces an in-person consultation if conditions persist or worsen.

For managing mandagni (weak digestive fire), the approach always includes addressing the imbalance in the agni along with pacifying the relevant doshas, here likely to involve both vata and kapha. It’s good that you’re using Chiruvilwadi Kashaya, Balarishtam, and Ashwagandha, as these can provide support already. However, a bit more can be done.

First, consider Agnitundi Vati, a potent formula specifically for stimulating agni. Take one tablet, twice daily after meals. This remedy is known to kindle digestive fire and improve digestion. Make sure the formulation ingredients align with any allergies or conditions you might have.

Additionally, Triphala is a renowned combination in Ayurveda that supports digestive health. You may take Triphala powder mixed in warm water at bedtime, about half a teaspoon. It acts gently to cleanse the stomach and intestines, supporting agni over time.

Diet is crucial – opt for warm, cooked foods, steering clear of anything refrigerated or raw which might dampen the digestive fire. Incorporate spices like cumin, ginger, and black pepper into your meals; these have properties that enhance digestion.

Yoga poses such as Pawanmuktasana and Vajrasana post meals can aid digestion. Breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana are beneficial for balancing overall energies and supporting agni.

Monitor your symptoms closely; if they don’t improve or worsen, consult a healthcare professional. The remedies should integrate comfortably with your current regimen so adjust as necessary, being mindful of any changes in symptoms.

Dr. Akshay Negi
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 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. Ayush Varma
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 did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. 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. 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.
