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.

​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

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

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. 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.

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. 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.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Dr. 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. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. 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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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.
