How to permanently reduce bloating, allergies. - #26752

Ifeoluwa

I sneeze in the morning and when it’s dusty. I’m always bloated and full of gas especially at night. Whenever I eat certain foods out, I purge. I also have some skin reactions and I also think it’s due to bad diet.

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.

Hello,

Your symptoms of morning sneezing, bloating and gas especially at night, food-related purging, and skin reactions suggest an imbalance mainly of Vata and Kapha doshas, along with weakened digestion (Agni Mandya) and accumulation of toxins (Ama). But dont worry we are here to help You out 😊

➡️AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT-

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Asthavin lehyam 1 tsp morning empty stomach followed by warm. Water 2 vyoshadi vatakam 1 tsp with warm water at 9 Am 3 Acidonil 2-0-2 after breakfast and dinner 4 Takaristham 30ml +30 ml water after lunch

Spices that support digestion ginger, cumin, coriander, fennel added to meals. Fresh seasonal fruits like papaya, pomegranate, and apples (in moderation).

✅Lifestyle Modification

👉Begin your day with warm water and lemon to kindle digestive fire. 👉Practice daily Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil before bath to balance Vata and improve circulation. 👉Avoid exposure to dust and allergens as much as possible keep living spaces clean and well-ventilated. 👉Regular gentle exercise or yoga to support digestion and circulation.

​Based on the symptoms you’ve described from an Ayurvedic perspective, it sounds like you may be experiencing an imbalance in your doshas, primarily Vata and Pitta, with some potential involvement of Kapha.

​Here is a breakdown of your symptoms from an Ayurvedic viewpoint: ​Sneezing:

​Morning Sneezing: This is often associated with a buildup of Kapha from the night. The morning hours (6 am to 10 am) are Kapha time, and the accumulated Kapha can lead to congestion and allergies, resulting in sneezing.

​Dusty Environments: This suggests a sensitivity in your respiratory system, which can be a sign of both aggravated Kapha (due to congestion) and Vata (due to dryness and hypersensitivity).

​Bloating and Gas: ​Bloating and Gas: These are classic symptoms of aggravated Vata. Vata is the energy of movement, and when it’s out of balance, it can cause irregular or excessive movement of air in the digestive tract.

​Especially at Night: The late afternoon and evening hours (2 pm to 6 pm and 2 am to 6 am) are Vata times. This timing further points towards a Vata imbalance being a primary cause of your digestive issues.
​Purging:

​Purging After Certain Foods: This suggests a strong intolerance or a reaction to specific foods. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this could be due to a few things:

​Weak Agni (Digestive Fire): Your digestive fire may not be strong enough to properly digest certain foods, leading to the body’s attempt to eliminate them quickly.

​Ama (Toxins): The undigested food can create Ama, or toxins, which the body then tries to purge.

​Pitta Imbalance: Purging, especially if it involves vomiting or diarrhea, can be a sign of aggravated Pitta, which governs digestion and metabolism. The body, in its attempt to remove the aggravating substance, can react with a strong cleansing action.

​Skin Reactions: ​Skin Reactions and “Bad Diet”: This is a very strong indicator of a Pitta imbalance. Pitta governs the skin and blood. When Pitta is aggravated, it can manifest as rashes, hives, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions. A poor diet, especially one with an excess of spicy, oily, fermented, or sour foods, can heat up the body and aggravate Pitta.

​Ayurvedic Opinion and Recommendations : ​Based on this analysis, the focus of an Ayurvedic approach would be on pacifying Vata and Pitta, strengthening your Agni, and reducing Ama.

​Dietary Recommendations: ​Vata-Pacifying Diet: To reduce bloating and gas, focus on warm, cooked foods. Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods. Include healthy fats like ghee. Sip warm water throughout the day.

​Pitta-Pacifying Diet: To address skin issues and purging tendencies, avoid spicy, sour, and fermented foods. Limit caffeine, alcohol, and very hot or oily foods. Favor sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Cook with cooling spices like fennel, coriander, and cardamom.

​Strengthening Agni: Eat your largest meal at lunch when your digestive fire is strongest. Avoid eating late at night. Don’t snack between meals.

​Lifestyle Recommendations:

​Routine: A regular daily routine (Dinacharya) is crucial for pacifying Vata. Wake up and go to sleep at consistent times. ​Exercise: Gentle, regular exercise like yoga can help balance all three doshas. Specific poses can help with digestion.

​Stress Management: Practices like meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) are essential, as stress can significantly aggravate Vata. ​Herbal Remedies (to be used under professional guidance):

​For Digestion: Triphala is a classic Ayurvedic formula that helps with digestion and detoxification. Hingwastak Churna can be helpful for gas and bloating.

​For Skin: Neem and Turmeric are excellent for purifying the blood and calming Pitta.

Dr. Chaitrali Rajendra Tambe
I am someone who really believes that Ayurveda isn’t just about giving herbs and oils—it's more like a whole way of looking at the body, the habits, the food, and how everything connects together. I got solid training in Ayurvedic clinical practice and feel most confident when I'm using therapies like Panchakarma or planning proper Shodhana for someone who's stuck in a cycle of chronic illness or stress-related issues. There’s just something powerful about seeing how classical cleansing can bring that shift in energy and clarity for ppl who've tried everything else. I work a lot on dosha assessment—sometimes it takes a bit of digging cause symptoms don’t always line up in a textbook way. But once I figure out what’s really going off-balance, I try to make treatment super personalized. It’s not just about giving a kashayam or lepa... I spend time explaining diet changes, routines, sleep timing, and even emotional triggers when needed. Many people don’t realise how big a role lifestyle play in their conditions. Right now, I’m mostly focused on lifestyle disorders and detox-based therapies. Things like PCOS, fatty liver, skin allergies, joint stiffness, IBS, anxiety-linked issues… those come up a lot. I try not to rush. I’d rather go slow n consistent, combining classical concepts with modern diagnostics if needed. Blood tests, reports, scans—they help me track things while still keeping the treatment Ayurvedic in core. I’m also pretty organized about documenting my cases—not just for reference but to understand patterns better. I guess every case teaches you something new, even after hundreds of patients. And I do keep learning, whether it’s updating protocols or trying to refine a virechana schedule that didn’t go as planned. In the end, for me it’s really about finding that balance for each person... not just patching the symptom. I think that’s where Ayurveda really shines.

By Ayurvedic understanding your problem is related to:

Vata → gas, bloating, variable stools

Kapha → morning sneezing, nasal congestion

Ama (toxins) → skin reactions, low immunity

You have to start reversing it by following methods 1. Diet reset

Eat fresh, warm, cooked meals at regular times.

Avoid:

Cold drinks, ice cream

Packaged chips, bakery items, junk food

Excess raw salad (especially at night)

Very spicy or fried street foods

Limit dairy temporarily if bloating is severe.

Eat:

Warm rice + moong dal khichdi

Steamed vegetables

Ginger tea

Cumin–fennel–ajwain water (helps gas)

2.Ayurvedic remedies:

• Hingvastak churna - ¼ tsp with warm water before meals

Triphala - ¼ tsp at night with warm water

Aloe vera juice - 10 ml in the morning

3. For Skin:

Neem + turmeric paste- (external for rashes)

Guduchi (giloy) juice -10 ml in the morning

Don’t lie down immediately after eating.

Walk for 10–15 min after dinner.

Sleep by 10:30–11 pm to avoid late-night digestive slowdown.

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.

HELLO IFEOLUWA,

From your symptoms -Morning sneezing and dust allergy-> your nose and sinuses are overreacting to dust, especially in the morning when kapha is naturally high. This means there is excess mucus and sensitivity in your respiratory system. -Bloating and gas (especially at night)-> your digestive fire (agni) is weak, so food is not getting completely digested. Undigested food turns into Ama (toxic waste), which produces gas and heaviness -Loose motion after eating out-> your digestion is sensitive and cannot handle oily, stale or contaminated food. This means your gut immunity is low -Skin reactions-> toxins from the gut (ama) are mixing with blood , irritating the skin, which shows up as rashes, itching or acne

Ayurvedic diagnosis You have vata-kapha-pitta imbalance -VATA-> causing gas, bloating, irregular digestion -KAPHA-> causing mucus, sneezing, nasal blockage -PITTA-> causing skin inflammation and sensitivity

ROOT CAUSE-> weak digestion-> toxin formation-> immune hypersensitivity-> allergies + bloating + skin flare ups

TREATMENT GOALS Ayurveda treats root cause, not just symtpoms -strengthen digestion so food is fully digested and doesn’t turn into toxins -remove toxins (ama) from your gut and blood -balance vata reduce gas, bloating -balance kapha reduce mucus, allergy sensitivity -cool and purify pitta in the blood reduce skin ractivity -strengthen immunity so that dust or certain foods don’t easily trigger you again

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water, twice daily before meals for 6-8 weeks =improves digestion, burns ama, reduces gas

2) SHITOPALADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with honey morning and evening for 6 weeks =reduces sneezing, strengthens respiratory tract

3) HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp with warm milk night for 6 weeks =reduces skin itching, purifies blood

4) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water after meals for 4 weeks =balances pitta, helps in bowel regulation

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime, daily for 2-3 months =mild edetox , improves bowel movement, cleanses intestines

6) GUDUCHU GHAN VATI= 2 tabs in morning for 3 months =immunity booster, removes toxins

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) NASYA= instill 2 drops of sesame oil in each nostril in morning after mild face steam. protects nasal mucosa, prevents dust-triggering sneezing

2) OIL MASSAGE= warm sesame oil full body massage before bath, 3-4 times/week =calms vata, improves skin

3) FOOT MASSAGE= before bed, ghee on soles of feet, improves sleep and vata balance

4) STEAM INHALATION= water boiled with tulsi leaves + ajwain seeds, inhale steam at night to keep nasal passages clear

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Sleep early before 10:30 pm and wake up early before 6 am -Avoid daytime sleep increases kapha -Avoid sudden exposure to cold wind, dust, and damp places -Do not overeat- leave 1/4 of your stomach empty for easy digestion -Eat meals at regular intervals- no skipping or irregular eating -Chew food well and avoid drinking water immediately after meals (wait at least 30 min) -Keep stress low- mental stress weakens digestion and immunity

YOGA POSES= pawanmuktasana -vajrasana after meals -bhujangasana -setu bandhasana -ardha matsyendrasana

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances all doshas -Kapalbhati= clears kapha from sinuses -Bhramari= calms mind, reduces allergy stress -5-10 min meditation

DIET

AVOID -cold drinks, ice cream, raw salads at night -wheat and refined flour in large amounts -oily , deep fired, stale, processed, or leftover food -milk + sour fruits combination -excess sugar and heavy dairy

INCLUDE -warm, freshly cooked meals -moong dal khichdi with cumin, ginger, turmeric, -steamed/sauteed vegetables -ripe fruits papaya, pomegrante, apple- not at night -ghee in small quantity daily -herbal teas= cumin- coriander- fennel tea after meals

HOME REMEDIES

GAS RELIEF= roast 1 tsp ajwian seeds + pinch of rock salt, chew after heavy meals

ALLERGY RELIEF= 1/2 tsp turmeric + 1/2 tsp honey twice daily

SKIN DETOX= neem leaves paste applied to affected skin for 15 min, wash off

BLOATING CONTROL DRINK= boil 1 tsp fennel + 1 tsp cumin seeds in 2 cups water-> reduce to 1 cup sip warm

INVESTIGATIONS ADVISED -cbc -total IgE -Stool routine and culture -liver function test -celiac/food intolerance panel id bloating is severe after certain foods

Your condition is not just “gas” or “allergy”- it’s a whole body imbalance starting in the gut. If digestion is weak, toxins build up-> your immune system overreacts to harmless triggers (dust, food)-> leading to bloating, sneezing, and skin issues. By strengthening digestion, clearing toxins, balancing doshas, and improving immunity, you can permanently reduce these symptoms Ayurveda takes time usually 6-12 weeks of visible changes, but it works on the root cause The key is consistency- even home remedies work only when you follow them daily

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

You’ll find that Ayurveda can offer a comprehensive approach for addressing your concerns. Starting from your symptoms, seasonal allergies and sneezing can often point to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which is known to exacerbate respiratory issues. Addressing sneezing and dust allergies involves minimizing the Kapha accumulation. Start your day with warm water and a bit of honey upon waking to help cleanse the respiratory tract. Breathing exercises like pranayama can be beneficial in strengthening lung capacity and reducing sensitivity to allergens.

Turning to your concerns about bloating and gas, these are typically due to an impaired Agni, or digestive fire, and an imbalance in the Vata dosha. To enhance your digestive health, you should aim to establish regular meal times and a diet that aligns with your digestive capabilities. Consider meals that are warm, cooked, and mildly spiced. Include ingredients like ginger, cumin, coriander, or fennel tea, as they stimulate digestion. Perhaps, chew on a piece of ginger with a pinch of salt before meals to help your body process food more effectively. Avoid cold, raw, and overly processed foods as they can dampen Agni and contribute to bloating.

Skin reactions and sensitivities might reflect imbalances in the Pitta dosha. In this regard, cooling and soothing rituals can be implemented to calm Pitta. Incorporating aloe vera gel topically or drinking a small amount of diluted aloe vera juice can help. Avoid aggravating foods like excessively spicy, sour, or fried items that can inflame Pitta. Include more hydrating foods like cucumber, cilantro, and organic milk.

For purging after certain foods, it’s vital to listen to your body’s cues and identify what might be causing these reactions. Trigger foods vary significantly, but maintaining a food journal to record meals and symptoms could shed light. Such symptoms warrant a doctor’s consultation. Tailoring interventions according to one’s own prakriti is crucial, enabling balance restoration and ultimately fostering health.

Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in Vata and Kapha doshas, which may be affecting your agni, or digestive fire. This could be causing both the bloating and your allergic reactions. To rebalance these doshas, consider starting with your diet and daily habits.

Eliminate potential allergens like dairy, gluten, and processed foods from your diet temporarily to observe if there’s any improvement. Instead, incorporate more warming, easily digestible foods such as cooked vegetables, warm soups, and spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric. These help in stimulating agni and reducing bloating.

For your morning sneezing and reactions to dust, consider performing nasya, a traditional Ayurvedic practice where you instill warm sesame oil or Anu tailam drops into your nostrils daily. This practice can help to strengthen nasal passages and reduce allergic reactions.

To address recurring gas, chew a small piece of fresh ginger with a pinch of rock salt before meals. This can improve digestion and help in reducing bloating. It’s essential to maintain regular eating timings and avoid overeating, as irregular habits tend to disrupt agni and doshic balance.

Skin reactions might be your body signaling the need to detoxify. Avoid fried and oily foods, and instead include bitter greens like neem or turmeric which are known to cleanse the blood and improve skin health. Adequate hydration is crucial, so ensure you’re drinking plenty of warm water throughout the day.

Finally, practice stress-reducing activities like gentle yoga or meditation. Stress can exacerbate dosha imbalances, influencing both your digestive and immune systems. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.

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. 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. 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.

I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

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

Dr. Sumi. S
I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.

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. 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 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.
