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

✅DIET MODIFICATION ❌Avoid- Cold, oily, fried, processed, and outside Foods Limit dairy if it worsens symptoms.

☑️Include- Warm, freshly cooked, easy-to-digest foods such as moong dal khichdi, steamed vegetables, vegetable soups, and millets like bajra, jowar, or ragi. 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.

With balanced diet, lifestyle changes, and Ayurvedic herbal support, your digestion will improve, reducing bloating, gas, and skin issues. Regular care will also strengthen your immunity and respiratory health.

​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. 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. 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.

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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Shazia Amreen
I am Dr. Shazia Amreen, an Ayurvedic physcian with a little over 7 years of hands-on experience in clinical practice. I did my MD in Ayurveda from Government Ayurveda Medical College, Bangalore—and honestly, those years helped me go much deeper into the classical texts and the clinical ground. Not just theory... actual healing. Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with a diverse set of patients—from chronic gut problems to skin & hair concerns, musculoskeletal issues, hormonal imbalances, kidney stones, you name it. My core strength really lies in Panchakarma and gastrointestinal healing, where I don’t just jump into detox, but take time to see where the agni is, how deep the ama has gone, and whether the body’s ready to reset. I’m very rooted in classical assessment—looking at dosha imbalance, dhatu state, and prakriti before planning anything. But also, I keep it grounded in modern daily life. What’s the point of a great herbal blend if the person can’t sleep on time or digest their food properly, right? That’s why I focus big on Ahara-Vihara guidance. I don’t just hand over a diet list—I walk people through why those changes matter, and how to make them sustainable. In my practice, I often blend Rasayana chikitsa with basic lifestyle coaching, especially for cases like IBS, PCOS, eczema, migraines, or stress-triggered flareups. Each case is unique, and I don’t believe in repeating the same formula just because it worked for someone else. I also emphasize emotional reset, especially in long-standing chronic cases—sometimes people carry fear, shame, or frustration about their illness. I try to hold space for that too. Whether it’s someone coming in for general detox, a fertility consult, or just confused by their symptoms—I aim to build a plan that makes sense to them. It should feel doable. Balanced. And over time, it should make them feel like they’re coming back home to their own body. That’s the kind of Ayurvedic care I believe in—and try to deliver every single day.

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. Soukhya Hiremath
I am Dr Soukhya, completed my BAMS degree under Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science, and sometimes I still can’t believe how fast that year of full-time practice went by… feels like I m still figuring small things while already handling so many female disorders and skin related conditions every day. I work mostly with Ayurveda treatments for gynic cases, hormonal ups-and-downs, chronic skin troubles and a few other things that always need more gentle hands than people expect. I am practicing for a year now, but honestly the learning kind of never stop, each patient shows something new… sometimes I even pause thinking “wait, did I explain that right” and then go again with more clarity. My focus stays on understanding the root-cause, balancing doshas properly, and giving care that feel practical not over complicated. I treated many gynic issues, from irregular cycles to pregnency related discomforts, and a lot of cosmetology concerns too (acne, pigmentation and stuff that people get worried about really quickly!). I am also running offline yoga classes for pregnant women and others too… it started simple but grew into this small supportive space where I see how much differnce breathing and mindful movement makes. Sometimes the schedule gets messy, or I m not sure if the batch timing was perfect, but the sessions still turn meaningful. Ayurveda, yoga, routine corrections — all these tie together in my approach. I try to keep things straighforward, even if my notes get a bit scattered here and there or a comma miss somewhere, but the intention stays steady: help people feel better with methods that respect body’s natural healing.

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. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.
