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.

Thanks a lot for your valuable opinion

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.

Keep routine for meals, sleep, and activity.

Avoid overexertion, fasting, late-night work, excessive travel.

Avoid stimulants (coffee, too much tea) and refrigerated foods.

For medicine you can take:- 1.Ashwagandha- (with warm milk or ghee)

In Ayurveda, Vata Prakopa (also known as Vayuprakopam) refers to the aggravation or imbalance of the Vata Dosha. Vata, composed of the elements of air and space, governs all movement in the body, including nerve impulses, blood circulation, breathing, and the movement of food through the digestive tract. When Vata is in balance, a person is creative, energetic, and adaptable. However, when it becomes aggravated, its dry, cold, light, and mobile qualities increase, leading to a wide range of physical and mental symptoms.

HELLO SREE,

“VAYUKOPAM” literally means aggravation of Vayu (vata).

In Ayurveda, Vata is one of the three main functional energies(Doshas) VATA= movement, nerve impulses, circulation, digestion, speech, elimination PITTA= heat, digestion, metabolism KAPHA= structure , lubrication, stability

When vata is in balance-> body works smoothly, digestion is regular, mind is calm, joints are flexible. When vata is aggravated (vayukopam)-> dryness, lightness, roughness, instability, and irregularity occur in body and mind.

TYPICAL SYMPTOMS -body pain, muscle stiffness, joint pain -dry skin, hairfall -indigestion, gas, bloating, irregular appetite -feeling hungry frequently but unable to tolerate heavy foods -irritation , restlessness, poor sleep -weakness, fatigue -sensitivity to cold, wind

In your case- the “cannot eat more” + "problems start if no food for 2 hours"suggests both Vata aggravation and low digestive fire (agni mandya)

CAUSES OF VATA AGGRAVATION -skipping meals or irregular eating habits -excessive fasting -dry, cold, stale, or leftover foods -excess raw vegetables and salads -overexertion, excessive travel, or physical strain -mental stress, anxiety, lack of sleep -cold weather exposure -certian chronic illness

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify aggravated vata-> restore balance -strengthen digestive fire-> better digestion and absorption -nourish body tissues-> regain strength -improve nervous system stability-> calm irritability, improve sleep -prevent recurrence-> lifestyle and diet modification

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily with warm water before meals for 6 weeks =reduces inflammation and pacifies vata in joints and muscles

2) KSHEERABALA 101 AVARTI CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after meals for 3 months =nourishes nerves, calms vata, improves sleep

3) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for 2 months = strengthens muscles, calms mind, increases stamina

4) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with ghee before meals twice daily = improves digestion, reduces gas/bloating

5) BALASHWAGANDHADI TAILA= 10 ml warm at bedtime for 2 weeks = lubricates body internally, strengthens tissues

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

REGULAR ROUTINE= eat, sleep and wake at the same times daily

AVOID COLD AND DRY EXPOSURE= wear warm clothes, avoid cold wind

AVOID OVEREXERTION= balance work and rest

SLEEP= 7-8 hours, preferably 10 pm to 6 am

GENTLE ACTIVITY= short walks, mild stretching- avoid heavy gym workouts during acute vata aggravation

YOGA ASANAS -vrikshasana -tadasana -bhujangasana -pawanmuktasana

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances energy channels -Bhramari= calms nervous system -ujjayi= soothes vata

MEDITATION= 10-15 min/day for mental calmness

DIET -warm, soft, freshly cooked foods -ghee, sesame oil, coconut oil in moderation -steamed or boiled vegetables - carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach -rice, wheat, oats cooked well -milk, buttermilk spiced and warmed , fresh curd in day only -ripe bananas, papaya, stewed apple

AVOID -cold drinks, ice cream, raw salads -very spicy, bitter or astringent foods -dry snacks like chips , puffed rice without oil -excess tea/coffee -long gaps between meals

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -TURMERIC MILK= 1/2 tsp turmeric + 1 cup boiled milk + 1/2 tsp ghee at night

-GINGER WATER= boil 2-3 slices of dry ginger in water, sip warm

-SESAME OIL FOOT MASSAGE= before bed for better sleep and vata pacification

-SOFT KHICHDI (rice+ moong dal + ghee) during digestive weakness

-WARM JEERA WATER after meals to aid digestion

VAYUKOPAM is not a lige thratening conditions, but it can greatly affect quality of life if untreated. Ayurveda considers it highly manageable- even reversible- with the right combination of internal medicines, diet, and lifestyle discipline. Relief often starts within 2-4 weeks, but complete balance may take 2-3 months of chronic cases. The key is consistency-regular oil application, warm. nourishing food, and avoiding all triggers for vata imbalance.

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Vayukopam, indicating an imbalance in vata dosha, can certainly disrupt your daily life. To rebalance vata and alleviate its effects, we must approach it holistically through diet, lifestyle, and specific Ayurvedic treatments. Let’s start with dietary adjustments. Since your digestion is sensitive, you should focus on warm, cooked foods that are easy on your digestive system. Soups, stews, and porridges made from rice or wheat can be nourishing. Favor sweeter, sour, and salty tastes, as they help pacify vata. Avoid raw, cold, and dry foods, as well as stimulants like caffeine and spicy dishes, which exacerbate vata.

Eating frequently can be beneficial. Have small, regular meals every two to three hours to ensure your body has a constant energy supply, helping prevent vata aggravation. Drink warm water or herbal teas instead of cold beverages.

For lifestyle, creating a daily routine is key. Regularity soothes vata, which thrives on chaos and change. Rise, eat, and sleep at consistent times. Gentle exercises such as yoga, and walks should be integrated without overexerting yourself. Pranayama and meditation are useful in calming the mind, reducing stress that can trigger vata imbalance.

Therapeutically, a few Ayurvedic options can aid in balancing vata. Consider consulting an experienced practitioner to explore treatments like abhyanga (oil massage), using sesame oil, which reduces vata. Shirodhara or basti, which are other effective therapies, may be recommended based on your specific condition.

Herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi can be helpful, both calming the nerves and supporting digestion. Take them under supervision to ensure correct dosages suited to your particular constitution and needs. Aligning these practices with a deep understanding of your unique body-mind type can help you manage and eventually escape the effects of vayukopam.

Vayukopam, or an imbalance of the vata dosha, often leads to the symptoms you described: body pain, irritation, and digestive issues. Addressing these involves balancing vata through diet, lifestyle, and some specific remedies. First, prioritize warm, cooked, and easily digestible meals. Think of foods like khichdi, a mixture of rice and lentils, seasoned with mild spices such as cumin and asafoetida. This can balance vata by nurturing agni, improving digestion.

Staying consistent with your meal times is crucial. Given your symptoms, eating small, warm meals every 2 to 3 hours may stabilize energy levels and reduce vata-related irritation. Include healthy fats, like ghee or sesame oil, as these soothe and ground vata. If your appetite is weak, ginger tea may help. Simply boil a few slices of fresh ginger in water before meals to stimulate digestion.

Incorporate gentle practices like yoga or meditation; controlled breathing techniques can help calm the vata mind. Vata thrives on routines, so set a steady daily schedule. When it comes to herbal support, ashwagandha or bala (Sida cordifolia) may be beneficial, but it’s best to consult an expert before starting any herbs to ensure it matches your unique constitution.

Avoid dry, cold foods, excessive stimulants like caffeine, or very spicy items. Lastly, steer clear of late nights—restful sleep is critical. If your condition persists or worsens, it’s wise to revisit your healthcare professional to assess further. Remember, minor adjustments in diet and lifestyle can significantly impact vata balance.

Dr. K Bhagyalaxmi
I am an Ayurvedic doctor with 5 yrs of steady practice in the field—not a lifetime, but long enough to see how people respond when you really pay attention, not just to symptoms but to the whole story behind them. I started out thinking I’ll just treat the doshas, pick the right herbs, and things will work. But real patients kinda show you that it’s more layered. Now I mostly focus on connecting classical Ayurveda with actual day-to-day health struggles people bring in—digestive chaos, sleep going off track, periods all over the place, hair falling out for months, or just plain burnout. Over time I’ve worked a lot with people dealing with long-standing issues—like IBS, acne, weight gain that doesn’t budge, PCOS, stress spikes, thyroid shifts, low energy, even those vague feelings of “not feeling like myself.” I don’t rush into meds. I spend a good amount of time understanding lifestyle, eating patterns, stress points. A lot of my plans involve routine resets, easy-to-follow diet tweaks, herbal support if needed, and just—staying in touch. Most people don’t need complicated therapies, they need clarity. And someone who doesn’t make them feel like a list of symptoms. I’m usually direct but never pushy. I keep my advice realistic, cause no one's going to steam daily or wake at 4 am forever. Even basic things like fixing digestion or improving sleep hygiene makes a huge diff, if done right. Also I like writing or talking about healing in a way that doesn’t scare ppl off with too much jargon or pressure. 5 years in, I’m still learning. Still adjusting. Ayurveda is deep, and the body doesn’t always respond how you expect—but that's kinda the magic too. Every patient brings a different challenge, and I try to meet them where they are, not where textbooks say they *should* be.

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. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

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.
