HELLO SAADIA,

Your daughter had Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) infection, which can cause chronic fatigue syndrome. After that, her body became intolerant to cow’s milk, yeast, and some other foods

From a modern medicine point of view -The virus likely stress her immune system. -This may have caused her gut lining to become sensitive or “leaky” , leading to reactions to certain foods -Stress and overwork weakened her recovery.

FROM AN AYURVEDIC POINT OF VIEW -EBV infection + exam stress depleted her Ojas (corre immunity/ strength) -Agni (digestive fire) became weak and irregular-> food isn’t fully digest -> formation of ama (toxic waste) -Vata got aggravated due to stress, pitta irritated the digestion, and kapha became blocked in channels. -Milk and yeast are naturally heavier and can clog channels - in a weakened gut, they cause discomfort

TREATMENT GOALS -remove triggers that cause reactions until digestion and immunity improve. -Imporve digestive fire (deepana-pachana) so she can break down food properly. -Clear ama (detox) to reduce inflammation and sensitivity -strengthen immunity (Ojas Vardhan) so she doesn’t fall ill easily, -balance doshas and calm the mind body stress loop -gradually reintroduce foods in a safe, monitored way.

INTERNAL TREATMENTS

1) IMPROVE DIGESTION -SHUNTI + PIPPALI POWDER (dry ginger+long pepper) =2 pinches mixed I warm water before lunch and dinner for 6 weeks =stimulates digestive fie gently

2) REMOVE AMA (toxins) -GUDUCHI TABLET= 500mg tab twice daily after meals for 6-8 weeks =detoxifies without weakening body

3) BUILD IMMUNITY -CHYAWANPRASHA (sugar free) = 1/2 tsp In warm milk or water in morning for 3-4 months =nourishes tissues and strengthens resistance

4) SUPPORT STRENGTH AND NERVES -ASHWAGANDHA GRANULES= 1/2 tsp with warm water at night for 3 months =improves energy, reduces fatigue

5) GUT LINING REPAIR - AMLA POWDER OR FRESH JUICE= 1 tsp or 15 ml juice in morning for 3 months =cools pitta, rebuilds gut lining

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -SLEEP= 9-10 hours/night, especially before 10 pm -ROUTINE= eat, sleep, and wake at regular times- stability is medicine for vata -reduce screen time before bed -stress relief= avoid multitasking, include relaxation breaks -morning sunlight= 10-15 minutes for vitamin D and circadian rhythm balance

YOGA AND PRANAYAM (daily 20 minutes)

YOGA ASANA -balasana= calms mind and gut -bhujangasana= stimulates digestion -setu bandhasana= balances hormones -supta baddha konasana= deep relaxation

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= 5-7 cycles -Bhramari= 5 rounds for stress relief

DIET -warm, fresh cooked foods -khichdi (rice + mung da), vegetables soups, lightly spices stews -stewed apple/pear in mornings for gut healing -almond milk (homemade), soaked almonds, dates, raisins -cow’s ghee (tiny amount, well clarified - if tolerated)

AVOID -cold drinks, iced foods -fermented yeast products (bread, pizza ) -processed snacks, deep fried foods -heavy dairy (cheese, cream) until reintroduction phase

HOMEREMEDIES -Sip warm water with a few cumin seeds boiled in it - improves digestion -golden milk substitue= almond milk + turmeric + cardamom- builds immunity without cow’s milk -ginger lemon honey tea (warm, not hot)= clears ama and boosts agni

Recovery here is slow rebuild, not a quick fix. Think of her system like a house that’s had a storm- first we clear the debris (ama), repair the foundation (agni), and then redecorate (Ojas)

If you follow -herbal supports to heal from inside -diet that is warm, light, and nourishing -lifestyle that reduces stress and gives the body a routine -yoga and breathing to calm the mind and improve energy flow …she should gradually tolerate more foods and have better energy, and feel mental stronger

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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 SAADIA,

It sounds like your daughter’s health took a sharp turn after the EBV (Epstein–Barr Virus) infection, and since then, chronic fatigue, food intolerances, and a weakened immune response have been part of her daily struggle. For a young person, this is especially challenging — affecting not just physical energy, but also mood, focus, and confidence.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, a severe viral infection like EBV can leave behind Ojas Kshaya (depletion of vital immunity), along with Agnimandya (weakened digestion and metabolism) and Ama (toxic residues) circulating in the system. This can create food intolerances, poor nutrient absorption, and low resilience to stress. Exam-related pressure and mental strain further aggravate Vata, making recovery slower.

The Ayurvedic approach here would be to restore digestive fire, gently clear residual toxins, rebuild immunity, and calm the nervous system — without overburdening her already sensitive body.

Treatment Plan 1. Ama Pachana & Agni Deepana (First 2 weeks)

Goal: Lighten the system, improve digestion, and reduce food reactions.

Pippali Churna – ¼ tsp with warm water after meals, twice daily (mildly stimulates Agni without overheating).

Guduchi Satva – 1 tsp with warm water or lukewarm milk, twice daily (supports immunity and liver detox).

Jeerakadyarishtam – 10–15 ml with equal warm water after meals, twice daily (aids digestion, reduces bloating).

2. Ojas & Immunity Restoration (From week 3 onwards)

Once digestion feels lighter and intolerances are more stable:

Chyawanprash Avaleha – 1 tsp daily in the morning with warm water or dairy-free milk.

Ashwagandha Lehyam – 1 tsp at bedtime (for strength, energy, and nervous system stability).

Shatavari Churna – ½ tsp twice daily with warm water (for hormonal balance and tissue nourishment, if applicable).

3. Daily Practices

Diet

Continue avoiding known triggers (yeast, cow’s milk, and others).

Include: Steamed vegetables, red rice or millet, moong dal, fresh seasonal fruits, soaked almonds, and warm herbal teas (ginger–tulsi or cinnamon–cardamom).

Add ½ tsp ghee to meals for tissue lubrication and repair.

Lifestyle

Gentle morning sun exposure (15–20 min) for vitamin D and mood support.

Anulom Vilom pranayama — 5–7 min morning and evening.

Rest periods between study sessions to prevent mental burnout.

4. Investigations

Vitamin D3, B12, ferritin.

Thyroid function test (TSH, T3, T4).

Gut health evaluation (stool microbiome or basic stool test).

Please feel free to connect for follow-up or adjustment in medicines.

With warm regards, Dr.Sumi.S

Hi saadiya since your daughter is intolerant to milk and yeast products we need to think about other options like alternatives other than giving the same and creating gut problems.

Advice her to avoid sugary items, processed foods which can feed the yeast growth , incase of milk /lactose intolerance better to avoid those or you can check for threshold amount of milk that can tolerate by the kid, so that particular amount of milk you can give, if she is not adapting even little amount please do avoid. You can improve her diet with other nutritional products such as millets, Sprouted grains, fruits (especially pomegranates, papaya, orange,berries , etc)

If you your daughter is intolerant to cow’s milk, it is better to avoid., instead you can give her almond milk, sesame milk, Soya milk. Start with Giloy ghanvati 1-0-1 after food with water Chyavanprash 2tsp in the morning after breakfast with water This will help improve her immunity.

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.

This is a very challenging situation for your daughter, and it’s understandable that you’re seeking a holistic perspective. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, offers a detailed framework for understanding and addressing chronic conditions like the one you describe

The Ayurvedic Perspective on Chronic Fatigue and Viral Infections

In Ayurveda, health is seen as a state of balance among the three fundamental energies, or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. A chronic illness like chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is seen as a deep imbalance in the body. The symptoms you describe—fatigue, food intolerances, and a weakened immune system—are all signs of this imbalance.

Vata Imbalance: Chronic fatigue is often linked to an aggravated Vata dosha. Vata governs movement, the nervous system, and energy. When Vata is out of balance, it can lead to dryness, weakness, anxiety, insomnia, and the profound exhaustion your daughter is experiencing.

Ama (Toxins): A key concept in Ayurveda is Ama, which refers to undigested food and metabolic waste that can accumulate in the body. When the Agni (digestive fire) is weak, food isn’t properly digested, and Ama is created. This Ama can then circulate and block the body’s channels, leading to fatigue, pain, and a compromised immune system.

Ojus (Immunity and Vitality): Ayurveda sees the immune system as Ojus, the ultimate essence of all the body’s tissues. When the immune system is failing, it’s considered a depletion of Ojus, which results in low vitality and susceptibility to infections. The stress from exams and the EBV infection would have contributed to this depletion.

The Ayurvedic View on Food Intolerances The development of new food intolerances, such as to yeast and cow’s milk, is also a sign of a weak digestive fire (Agni) and the presence of Ama. The body is unable to properly digest these foods, and they are treated as foreign invaders, triggering an immune response.

Cow’s Milk Intolerance: In Ayurveda, milk is considered heavy and difficult to digest. If a person’s Agni is weak, milk can produce Ama and lead to digestive issues and allergies.

Yeast Intolerance: This would also be attributed to a compromised digestive system and a build-up of Ama. Foods that are heavy, processed, or fermented are often difficult for a weak digestive system to handle.

Ayurvedic Treatment and Management Principles An Ayurvedic approach to your daughter’s condition would be highly individualized, but it would likely focus on the following principles:

Correcting the Agni (Digestive Fire): This is a primary goal. The practitioner would recommend a diet of warm, light, and easily digestible foods. This helps to reduce the formation of Ama. Spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel are often used to kindle the Agni.

Removing Ama (Detoxification): Panchakarma, a set of five cleansing therapies, is often recommended to eliminate deep-seated toxins and Ama from the body. These therapies might include medicated enemas (Basti), purgation (Virechana), or nasal administration of oils (Nasya). These procedures should only be performed under the supervision of a qualified practitioner.

Balancing the Doshas: Based on your daughter’s specific constitution and symptoms, the practitioner would recommend a diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies to bring Vata, Pitta, and Kapha back into balance.

Rejuvenating the Ojus (Immunity): Once the Agni is strong and Ama has been removed, the focus shifts to rebuilding the immune system. This is done through Rasayana (rejuvenating) herbs and therapies. Herbs commonly used for this purpose include:

Ashwagandha: An adaptogenic herb that helps the body cope with stress and boosts vitality.

Amalaki (Indian Gooseberry): Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, it helps to strengthen the immune system.

Giloy (Guduchi): Known for its immune-modulating properties, it’s often used to treat chronic fevers and infections.

Chyawanprash: A traditional herbal jam that is a powerful immune booster.

Lifestyle Modifications: Stress management is a critical component. Practices like gentle yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathing exercises) are recommended to calm the nervous system and reduce stress. Establishing a consistent daily routine (Dinacharya) is also considered vital for regulating the body’s natural rhythms and promoting healing.

The combination of exam stress and a viral infection leading to chronic fatigue and food intolerances is a classic example of how stress and a compromised immune system can create a cascading effect. Ayurveda’s holistic approach addresses these interconnected issues by focusing on the root causes rather than just the symptoms.

Chronic fatigue following an EBV infection can indeed lead to various dietary intolerances, as the immune system gets quite sensitive. In Siddha-Ayurvedic terms, such conditions often arise from imbalances in the doshas, particularly kapha and vata, which might affect her agni (digestive fire) and disrupt nutrient assimilation.

Firstly, let’s address the immune system. To bolster her immune function, integrate turmeric and ashwagandha into her daily routine. Turmeric milk can be made by mixing a teaspoon of turmeric in a warm plant-based milk, ideally once in the evening to soothe and rejuvenate the tissues. Ashwagandha can be consumed as a powder - about half a teaspoon mixed in water or ghee - in the morning and evening to help rebalance vata and kapha.

For the yeast and milk intolerances, focus on healing her gut. This can be achieved by including triphala powder nightly; its blend of three fruits aids in detoxification and gentle cleansing process. Start with a quarter teaspoon in warm water before bed, and gradually increase to half a teaspoon as tolerated. Meanwhile, ensuring her diet is rich in freshly cooked, easily digestible foods like steamed vegetables and warm soups can support her agni.

It’s also essential to address the mind-body connection through practices like pranayama or gentle yoga which can harmonize her stress response. Deep breathing exercises, done for 10 minutes each morning, could be really beneficial in calming any lingering exam stress.

If despite these efforts her intolerances persist, or if the fatigue worsens, it’s crucial to consult healthcare professional for tailored medical advice to her condition.

Chronic fatigue following an EBV infection often indicates a disturbed balance in the body’s systems, particularly affecting the immune system and digestion. In Ayurveda, this can be connected to weak Agni (digestive fire) leading to ama (toxins) accumulation and imbalanced doshas.

Focus on digestive health is critical. Start with warming, easy-to-digest foods like kichadi (a mix of rice and mung beans). Add spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel to aid digestion and balance Vata and Kapha doshas. Ginger, particularly, can be made into a tea and sipped throughout the day to boost digestion and immunity.

Eliminating yeast and cow’s milk is key right now, as toleranes might be temporary. Gradually reintroduce them by first consuming fermented dairy like yogurt or buttermilk, which are easier on digestion. This should be done only when the gut feels more stable and symptoms reduce.

Incorporating Ashwagandha could offer support. It’s an adaptogen known in Ayurveda to support the immune system and manage stress, which may help with recovery from chronic fatigue. Take this under the guidance of a practitioner as it needs to be tailored to her Prakriti (constitution).

Yoga and pranayama can help balance stress and support the nervous system. Simple practices like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) calm the mind and are easily done at home.

Consider professional guidance to tailor an herbal protocol or Panchakarma (purification therapy) if accesible and suitable. Monitoring stress levels, ensuring adequate rest, and focusing on a regular sleep cycle are fundamental.

These interventions must be gradual. Rushing improvements can aggravate symptoms, so patience is necessary as her system finds balance again. Seeing an Ayurvedic professional or healthcare provider regularly for evaluations could be beneficial.

Dr. Arun Desai
I am Dr. Arun Desai, working in Ayurveda for 19+ years now, both online and offline. My clinic, Ayur Sanjivani, is at #44 B 1, Opp Adarsh Laundry, beside Tej Residency, near Kavalemath Somwaar Peth Cross in Tilakwadi, Belgaum – bit of a long address but patients seem to find it just fine. Over time I’ve learned that people today want relief fast but still safe and lasting. That’s where I mix the depth of classical Ayurveda with practical tweaks to suit this fast moving lifestyle. I don’t like giving something that just masks a symptom – I want to get to the root cause whenever possible. At the clinic, I try to keep things warm and easy to talk, not a stiff doctor’s table vibe. Whether it’s diagnosis, a Panchakarma session, or simple counseling, I want patients to feel they can ask anything, even small doubts. Education matters too – when someone understands why a certain diet or lifestyle change is needed, they actually follow it better. Treatments may include herbal formulations, diet charts, yoga routines, exercise plans, detox, anti-stress work – all depending on their prakruti and condition. Over the years, I’ve treated people from many walks of life – each case different, which keeps me learning. Some come for joint pain, some for skin problems, others for lifestyle disorders like diabetes or high BP. I still follow authentic Ayurvedic principles but adapt them so they work in today’s reality. And yes, I’m always updating my knowledge, making sure the practice stays ethical and effective, because for me, Ayurveda isn’t just treatment – it’s a way to help someone rebuild their health from inside out.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. 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.

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. 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. 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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

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

Dr. Anupriya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.
