Kindly check thyroid function, HbA1c, and took USG to rule out PCOS.

You can took some diet change. More veggies and less carb. Add any kind of proteins with it.

Like 9 inch plate method. Half plate cooked veggies and 1/4 carb. Another 1/4 with proteins.

Took the meal in correct time.

You have said about high interest in eating chats. If you took meal in correct way and correct time the cravings will decrease automatically.

1. Varanadi kashayam 15 ml+ 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food. 2. Mandoora vatakam 1 at lunch time after food if possible with butter milk.

Took these medicines for 1 month.

If possible consult a gynaecologist to rule out any underlying issues like PCOS. I have prescribed medication only for weight loss and to improve immune system.

Dr. Rajan soni
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.

I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Based on the symptoms you’ve described—weight gain, stress, drowsiness, low energy, cravings for sweets and chats, and physical changes like facial hair and dark spots—an Ayurvedic practitioner would likely consider a few potential imbalances, primarily focusing on Kapha dosha.

​Ayurvedic Perspective ​In Ayurveda, health is seen as a balance of three fundamental energies or “doshas”: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Your symptoms strongly suggest an increase or vitiation of Kapha dosha.

​Kapha Dosha: Governs structure, lubrication, and stability in the body. When in excess, it can lead to heaviness, lethargy, weight gain, water retention, and a sluggish metabolism. The craving for heavy, sweet, and oily foods (like chats and sweets) is a classic sign of imbalanced Kapha, as these foods further increase Kapha.

​Ama (Toxins): The accumulation of these symptoms also points to the presence of “Ama” or toxins in the body. Ama is the result of improper digestion and a sluggish metabolism, which can clog channels and hinder the body’s natural processes, leading to weight gain and skin issues. ​Pitta and Vata: While Kapha seems dominant, the presence of dark spots on the face might also indicate a slight involvement of Pitta dosha (related to heat and metabolism) or Vata dosha (related to irregular cycles). The hair growth on the upper lip could also be linked to hormonal imbalances, which are often addressed through balancing all three doshas.

​Ayurvedic Recommendations ​An Ayurvedic practitioner would recommend a holistic approach tailored to your specific constitution (Prakriti) and the current imbalance (Vikriti). Here are some general recommendations that an Ayurvedic doctor might suggest: ​1. Diet (Ahaar): ​Kapha-Pacifying Diet: Focus on foods that are light, warm, dry, and pungent. ​Prioritize: ​Vegetables: Leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, beans. ​Grains: Barley, millet, quinoa. ​Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas. ​Spices: Ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, cumin. These spices are excellent for stimulating metabolism (Agni).
​Reduce/Avoid: ​Heavy Foods: Dairy products (especially cheese and yogurt), wheat, and red meat. ​Sweet and Oily Foods: Pastries, fried snacks, ice cream, and sugary drinks. ​Cold and Raw Foods: Avoid cold beverages and excessive raw salads, especially in the evening. ​Meal Timings: Eat your biggest meal at midday when your digestive fire (Agni) is strongest. Have a light dinner and try to finish eating by 7 PM. ​2. Lifestyle (Vihar): ​Regular Exercise: Consistent physical activity is crucial to reduce Kapha. ​Recommended: Brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or yoga with a focus on active poses. ​Timing: The best time for Kapha-balancing exercise is in the morning between 6 AM and 10 AM. ​Herbal Remedies: An Ayurvedic doctor might prescribe specific herbs to address your symptoms: ​For Weight Loss & Metabolism: ​Triphala: A classic blend of three fruits, great for detoxification and improving digestion.

​Guggul: Known for its fat-reducing properties.

​Punarnava: Helps with water retention. ​For Stress & Energy:

​Ashwagandha: An adaptogenic herb that helps manage stress and improves energy levels.

​Brahmi: Supports mental clarity and reduces anxiety.

​Dinacharya (Daily Routine): ​Wake up early: Waking up before 6 AM can help counteract Kapha’s natural tendency towards lethargy. ​Self-massage (Abhyanga): Using a warm, stimulating oil like sesame or mustard oil can help improve circulation and reduce stagnation.

​Udvartana: A dry massage with herbal powders (like gram flour or Triphala powder) is highly effective for breaking down fat, improving circulation, and exfoliating the skin.

​3. Specific Skin and Hair Concerns: ​Dark Spots: An Ayurvedic practitioner might suggest internal purification (Panchakarma) and external applications like face packs made of sandalwood, turmeric, and rose water.

​Upper Lip Hair: This may be a hormonal imbalance. Treatments would focus on balancing the doshas and using herbs like Shatavari (for female hormonal balance) or specific herbal formulations to address the root cause

Don’t worry, **Mash ripe papaya and mix it with a pinch of turmeric powder to create a paste. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off. **you can also add besan in this mixture. **Daily Massage with few drops of LOMSHATANAADI OIL. It will take some time but you’ll definitely get rid from your unwanted hair…

*Massage with few drops of kumkumadi tailam at bed time only.

HELLO RAMYA,

From what you described -weight gain even if you don’t eat too much -craving sweets and chat -feeling sleepy, low energy, and stressed -hair growth on upper lip -dark spots on face

This combination points to hormonal imbalance- most likely PCOS or thyroid problems.

AYURVEDICALLY -your Kapha dosha (responsible for body’s stability, structure, fat storage) is too high. -Your agni (digestive fire) is low, so food is not digested completely, producing Ama (toxic waste) -this ama blocks your srotas (body channels), especially this carrying hormones and reproductive fluids (artava vaha srotas) -hormones become irregular-> body starts storing more fat, hair growth changes, skin pigmentation appears. -mind is affected too-> low motivation, mood swings , stress

TREATMENT GOALS -remove ama (toxins) -reduce excess kapha and meda (fat tissue) -improve agni (digestion and metabolism) -open blocked channels (srotosodhana) for hormone balance -support reproductive and endocrine health -improve skin tone and reduce facial hair growth -stabilize mood and energy

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =breaks cyst, reduces swelling in hormonal glands, cleans lymphatic channels

2) MEDOHAR VATI= 2 tabs twice daily before meals =burns excess fat, improves metabolism

3) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water =mild detox, improves bowel movement, cleans channels

4) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm milk in morning =balances female hormones, reduces pitta

5) ALOE VERA JUICE= 20 ml with warm water, empty stomach =detoxifies liver, supports skin health

6) METHI SEEDS WATER= 1 tsp seeds soaked overnight, drink water + chew seeds in morning =balances blood sugar, improves digestion

DURATION= minimum 3 months for hormonal correction

EXTERNAL THERAPY

FACE PACK= sandalwood + turmeric + rose water weekly for pigmentation

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -wake up early before 7 am- sets hormonal rhythm -no daytime sleeping (increases kapha and weight) -move every 2 hours during work -keep fixed meal times -spend some time in sunlight daily for vitamin D and mood -practice stress control- avoid overthinking, try journaling, meditation

YOGA ASANAS -suryanamaskar= 6-12 rounds daily -utkatasana= strengthens thighs, burns fat -naukasana= tones abdomen -bhujangasna= improves thyroid function -setu bandhasana= balances hormones -malasana= improves pelvic circulation

PRANAYAM -Kapalbhati= 60 strokes * 3 rounds (burns fat, improves metabolism) -Anulom Vilom= 10 min daily balances hormones, calms mind -Bhramari= 5 min daily reduces stress hormones

DIET

AVOID -sugar, sweets, fried snacks and junk food -heavy dairy cheese , panner, ice cream -maida products -cold drinks, chilled food

INCLUDE -barley, millet, ragi, green gram, horse gram -leafy greens, bitter vegetables like bitter gourd, bottle gourd -warm soups, herbal teas- ginger, cinnamon , black pepper -fruits= papaya, apple, pomegranate avoid banana and mango initially -plenty of warm water through the day

HOME REMEDIES -cinnamon + honey in warm water improves insulin sensitivity -curry leaves chutney improves fat metabolism

Ramya, your symptoms are reversible- but hormonal balance takes patience. Ayurveda focuses on root cause correction, not quick fixes, so expect 3-6 months for real transformation

YOUR PLAN WILL WORK IF -you strictly follow diet -do daily exercise and pranayam -take medicines regularly -monitor progress with investigations every 3 months

you’ll notice first improvements in energy, mood, and skin, then weight and hair growth will reduce gradually

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

It seems like you might be dealing with a hormonal imbalance, possibly linked to conditions like PCOS. In Ayurveda, such symptoms are often connected to an imbalance in the kapha dosha and aggravated vata that can affect both body and mind. Addressing your weight and symptoms requires a holistic approach, combining diet, lifestyle changes, and specific herbs.

Firstly, it’s important to balance your daily routine. Try to wake up early before 6 AM and go to bed by 10 PM to regulate your body’s natural cycles. Engage in vata-pacifying activities like yoga or a light exercise routine that you can maintain regularly. Pranayama, particularly nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can help calm your mind and reduce stress.

Focus on a diet that’s kapha-balancing. Eliminate or greatly reduce processed foods, refined sugars, and oily, fried foods as they increase kapha and can lead to weight gain. Instead, include fresh vegetables, whole grains like barley or millet, and legumes in your meals. Spices such as cumin, ginger, black pepper, and turmeric are excellent for igniting agni (digestive fire) which can help in clearing toxins and improving digestion.

Consume warm water with lemon first thing in the morning to assist digestion and detoxify the body. Triphala churna, taken with warm water before bed, can support digestion and assist in weight management.

For unwanted facial hair, applying a paste made of turmeric and chickpea flour to the affected area can be effective over time. As for dark spots, a paste of fresh aloe vera gel, and turmeric can be beneficial when applied regularly.

Herbs like ashwagandha and shatavari might be supportive in balancing hormones and reducing stress levels. However, it’s best to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal regimen to ensure it’s right for your individual needs.

Weight gain, stress, drowsiness, excessive interest in sweets, and the hormonal-related symptoms like facial hair growth and dark spots may be indicative of a hormonal imbalance. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, such symptoms can often be linked to an imbalance of the kapha dosha, which can lead to sluggish metabolism and excess buildup in the body’s tissues. Here’s a more targeted approach:

First, consider incorporating a daily regimen that helps balance kapha. Start your day early, before sunrise, as this helps set the rhythm for your inner body clock. Engage in vigorous exercise, like brisk walking or yoga, to stimulate the kapha energy. Practicing Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) can be particularly revitalizing.

Diet is crucial. Focus on warm, light, and dry foods. Reduce or avoid sweet, salty, and sour foods that increase kapha and tamas (inertia), such as sweets and fried items. Opt for pungent and bitter tastes, like greens and spices, which can stimulate metabolism. Drink warm water throughout the day with a pinch of dry ginger. Avoid overeating even if craving persists.

Managing stress through meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises) is also recommended. Regular practice of Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) helps clear energy channels and reduce stress, which impacts hormonal balance.

For facial hair and dark spots, local application of turmeric paste (Curcuma longa) can help lighten skin and reduce hair. Mix with water to form a paste to apply on affected areas. Also, natural face packs with sandalwood can help with skin brightness.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional for further tests and guidance, as underlying conditions like PCOS may need a more integrated approach. Always remember to ensure that any Ayurvedic treatment complements rather than replaces necessary conventional care.

I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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. Suchin M
I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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

Dr. Rajan soni
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.

Dr. Deepali Goswami
I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

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.
