I am a practicing Ayurvedic physician with around 13 years now in this field—somewhere between hardcore clinical work and academic stuff too. My primary focus is Kaumarabhritya, which means I mostly work in Ayurvedic pediatrics, but I also treat adults across a pretty wide range of conditions. I’ve worked as an Assistant Professor in Ayurvedic colleges, mentored students, and collaborated with a few reputed institutions... not for name-dropping but just to say I’ve seen this system work in both classrooms and clinics. What really pulls me in is working with kids who have neurodevelopmental and behavioral challenges—things like autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, learning difficulties, and cerebral palsy. These are complicated conditions, and Ayurveda—when applied with care and consistency—can do more than people realize. I handle newborn care too, from basic immunity support to digestion or colic or sleep troubles, and that part of the job is oddly grounding. For adult patients, my work includes long-term management of chronic issues. I treat Vatavyadhi conditions (basically all the vata-based disorders), joint diseases like arthritis, neuromuscular stuff, skin problems—especially recurring ones like eczema, and lots of gut-related troubles, from IBS to grahani complaints. I don’t try to ‘fix’ everyone instantly or pretend like Ayurveda is magic—there’s real effort involved. I believe in deep diagnosis, using both classical methods and modern understanding of health behavior. Whether it’s through herbal protocols, diet correction, or lifestyle routines, I try to make each treatment plan doable—not just beautiful on paper. Results matter to people, and honestly they matter to me too. I still keep refining how I work with each prakriti, each family setup, each situation... because no two kids or adults are ever alike.

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

hello shubhangam Pandey ,

I understand how distressing your situation is constant itching, red raised rashes, and sneezing can be overwhelming, especially when it affects your sleep and daily life. Feeling the urge to scratch constantly can be very frustrating, and I want you to know that your discomfort is real and heard.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, your condition suggests Pitta and Vata imbalance along with accumulation of Ama (toxins) in the body, which manifests as skin hypersensitivity, itching, and hives. The key is to cool the Pitta, calm the Vata, detoxify gently, and strengthen the skin’s resilience so that you can reduce dependence on antihistamines over time.

Ama Pachana (first line of treatment)

Trikatu Churna ¼ tsp with warm water before meals to improve digestion and prevent toxin buildup that triggers skin reactions Internal medications

Manjishtha Churna ½ tsp twice daily with warm water or milk to purify the blood and reduce skin redness Haridra (Turmeric) Churna ¼ tsp twice daily to calm inflammation Guduchi Satva 1 tsp twice daily to modulate immunity and reduce allergy triggers

External care Apply Aloe vera gel or Sandalwood paste on itchy areas to cool and soothe the skin Use mild, herbal soaps and avoid hot water or harsh scrubbing Keep nails short to reduce damage from scratching

Diet & lifestyle Avoid spicy, oily, and sour foods that aggravate Pitta Drink plenty of water and include cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, and watermelon Practice gentle yoga or meditation to reduce stress, which can trigger flare-ups

Investigations to consider Allergy testing to identify specific triggers Complete blood count and liver function to ensure no hidden issues aggravating the skin

With consistent Ayurvedic care, your itching and rashes can reduce significantly, and over time you may be able to decrease reliance on antihistamines. Visible improvement can start within 4–6 weeks, but patience is important.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

​As we’ve established, Sheetapitta is the Ayurvedic name for a condition similar to urticaria or hives. The Ayurvedic treatment for Sheetapitta is comprehensive, addressing not just the symptoms but the underlying imbalance in the doshas, primarily Vata and Kapha, which are mixed with Pitta.

​The treatment is typically categorized into three main approaches:

​1. Nidana Parivarjana (Avoiding the Causative Factors)

​This is considered the most crucial step. Treatment cannot be successful if the triggers are not identified your specific triggers, which might include:

​Dietary triggers: Incompatible food combinations (e.g., milk with fish or sour fruits), excessive consumption of salty, sour, or spicy foods, and heavy, cold, or fermented foods.

​Environmental triggers: Exposure to cold wind, cold water, or extreme changes in temperature.

​Lifestyle triggers: Daytime sleeping, suppressing natural urges, and mental stress.

​2. Shodhana Chikitsa (Purification Therapies) ​For chronic or severe cases of Sheetapitta, detoxification is a key component of the treatment. These therapies, performed under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner, aim to remove the accumulated toxins (Ama) and bring the doshas back into balance.
​Vamana (Therapeutic Emesis): This procedure is often used to cleanse the body of excess Kapha and Pitta.

​Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation): This therapy is considered very effective for Sheetapitta as it primarily addresses the aggravated Pitta and Vata, purifying the blood and reducing inflammation.

​Rakta Mokshana (Bloodletting): In some cases, this may be used to purify the blood, especially when the condition is linked to a vitiated Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue).

​3. Shamana Chikitsa (Palliative Treatments) ​Shamana Chikitsa involves using internal and external remedies to manage symptoms and restore balance without extensive purification therapies. This approach is more commonly used for mild or acute cases and as a supportive treatment after Shodhana.

​**Haridra (Turmeric): Known for its powerful anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and purifying properties. A well-known formulation is Haridrakhandam, a turmeric-based preparation that is often a drug of choice for Sheetapitta.

​Neem: Used for its blood-purifying and skin-healing properties.

​Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): A potent immunomodulator that helps strengthen the body’s natural defenses.

​Manjistha: A blood purifier that is often used for a range of skin disorders.
​Other formulations: Other classical preparations like Mahatiktaka Ghritham (medicated ghee), Avipathi Choorna, and Arogyavardhini Vati may be used to improve digestion, detoxify, and balance the doshas.

​External Applications:

​Lepa (Herbal Pastes): Pastes made from herbs like turmeric, neem, or a combination of them can be applied to the affected areas to reduce itching, redness, and inflammation.

​**Abhyanga (Oil Massage): A gentle massage with cooling oils like coconut oil or neem oil can help to calm the skin and soothe aggravated Vata.

​Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations

​Diet: Focus on a light, easily digestible, and Pitta-Kapha-pacifying diet. This includes warm, freshly cooked foods, and avoiding cold, heavy, processed, and fermented foods. Foods like old rice, green gram (mudga), and certain gourds are often recommended.

​Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water or herbal teas made with coriander, cumin, and fennel to help with detoxification.

​Lifestyle: Avoid exposure to cold wind and water. Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga and Pranayama, as stress can be a significant trigger for allergic reactions.

HELLO SHUBHANGAM,

In Ayurveda, Urticaria is compared with Sheetapitta which is a condition caused by the vitiation of -vata(air and movement) -kapha(water and mucus) - pitta (fire and metabolism)

When exposed to cold air, allergens, wrong food combinations, indigestion , or seasonal transitions, these doshas become imbalanced and lead to hypersensitivity reactions like hives. -The itching and redness come from aggravated pitta -the wheals/swelling arise due to Kapha - vata carries these toxins(ama) through the blood and skin

This is why Ayurveda focuses not only on symptomatic relief but also on removing toxins, balancing doshas, and strengthening immunity

Urticaria (hives) is a skin condition characterised by red, itchy welts that often appear suddenly and resolve within hours , but in your case, since it’s lasted more than 6 weeks , it is chronic urticaria

Since your blood test are normal and there are no chronic illness, it’s likely idiopathic(no known cause), though triggers like stress, food, allergens , or temperature changes might still be playing a role

TREATMENT GOALS -balance tridosha -removes toxins -enhances immunity(Ojas) -soothe the skin - prevent triggers -achieve complete remission of hives

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS (FOR 6-8 WEEKS CONTINUE)

1) HARIDRAKHANDA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm water/milk =antihistamine- like reduces allergic responses

2) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals = immunity booster, anti-allergic , balances all 3 doshas

3) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tabs twice daily after meals =liver detox, supports skin purification

4) KHADIRARISHTA= 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals = blood purifier, support skin healing

5) AVIPAATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with lukewarm water at bedtime =corrects digestion, reduces pitta

6) MANJISTHA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after meals =blood cleanser, reduces skin erupations

If suffering from sleep deprivation Kindly take JATAMANSI CAPSULES-1 cap at night before bed for good sleep

These medicines work synergistically to Clear the root cause, improves liver detoxification, purify blood, reduce inflammatory response , and strengthen immunity

* EXTERNAL THERAPY

1) NEEM DECOCTION BATH -boil 20-30 neem leaves in 2 L of water , let it cool and use for bathing or rinsing affected areas

2) COCONUUT OIL+ CAMPHOR MIX -mix 100 ml coconut oil with 1 pinch powdered camphor. apply gently to affected areas to cool and reduce itch

3) SANDALWOOD PASTE OR ALOE VERA GEL= for burning

DIET AND LIFESTYLE

GRAINS= old rice, wheat light, non glutinous grains

VEGETABLES= pumpkin , ridge gourd, bottle gourd, snake gourd, okra

FRUITS= apple, pomegranate, amla, papaya

SPICES= turmeric , cumin, coriander, fennel

BEVERAGES= warm water, herbal teas-ginger, tulsi

MILK= cows milk boiled with turmeric daily

*FOODS TO AVOID STRICTLY

SOUR FOOD=curd, pickles, tamarind - aggravate pitta

HEAVY FOOD= cheese, panner, fired food- increases toxins

COLD AND REFRIGERATED ITEMS= ice creams, cold water- aggravate vata kapha

NON-VEG= especially seafood- may trigger allergies

BAKERY ITEMS= cakes, biscuits-processed sugar and gluten

FERMENTED FOODS= idli, dosa, vinegar-cause imbalance

YOGA AND PRANAYAM(daily 30 minutes) -anulo-vilom= balances vata pitta -bhramari= relieves mental stress -sheetali/sheetakari= reduces body heat(pitta) - sarvangasana/ viparitakarani= boosts immunity , improves circulation -avoid high heat poses like surya namaskar

PANCHAKARMA ADVISED IF THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT AFTER TAKING ABOVE TREATMENT (AFTER 2-3 MONTHS) -virechana= to remove pitta and ama from liver/intestine - raktamokshana= for local or systemic urticaria - takradhara= cooling therapy, useful if stress-related

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Dr. Happy Patel
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Happy Patel, right now in my 1st year of MD in Dravyaguna at Parul Institute of Ayurved, Parul University. I guess my whole thing kinda revolves around understanding the real essence of medicinal plants—not just listing herbs but digging deep into what makes each of them tick... like how their rasa, guna, virya, vipaka and prabhava actually work inside a body, especially in connection with a patient’s prakriti and doshic imbalance. I do spend most of my time between academics and clinical postings, but outside of that I also treat patients independently—when approached—especially using single drug therapies or classical combinations that match dosha and vyadhi properly. Sometimes I just sit and go back to the basics before I pick a herb… like not just "use haridra for this," but "is this the haridra that suits this person right now?" That sorta stuff. Materia medica is something I take really seriously. I’m always trying to match the pharmacological properties of herbs with what the body needs—not in a broad way, but real specific. I don’t believe in random prescribing just coz a formulation’s famous or commonly used... I want it to make sense. Also I’m big on yukti upayoga—using plants intelligently, with full context. My work till now (though still early) is focused on keeping ayurveda’s original wisdom intact, but also not turning it into a museum piece. Like, ya it’s ancient but that doesn’t mean it can’t solve modern issues if you apply it right. Just takes effort, patience... and the right dravya, used the right way.

After 6 days haridra khanda - 10 gm with hot water -morning and night- before food

Virechana- trivrutta churna- 15 gm with hot water at night

External application: triphala churna eladi churna + takra

Apathya: milk products, fish, virudha ahara, heavy & oily foods, dust

For chronic urticaria, Ayurveda focuses on balancing the doshas, especially Pitta and Kapha, which are often involved in skin disorders and allergic reactions. First, in terms of diet, it’s important to avoid foods that aggravate these doshas. Reduce or avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods, which can increase Pitta. Incorporate more cooling and calming foods such as cucumbers, cilantro, coconut water, and bitter greens such as spinach into your meals. You may also find relief by including turmeric and neem in your diet, given their natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties.

In addition to dietary adjustments, consider practicing Pranayama, specifically Anulom Vilom and Shitali breathing exercises. These can help to pacify the nervous system, providing relief from stress-related triggers that exacerbate your symptoms. Doing such practices in the morning time when the air is fresh might enhance their calming effects.

Topical treatments can also provide immediate symptomatic relief. Apply a sandalwood and rose water paste to the affected areas to soothe the burning and itching sensations. You could prepare this paste by mixing equal parts of sandalwood powder and rose water until a smooth consistency is reached, applying it twice daily if possible.

To further manage this condition, integrating Triphala churna at bedtime may aid in detoxifying your body and improving digestion, thus reducing the body’s overall reactivity. Mix half a teaspoon of Triphala in warm water and consume it about half an hour before sleep.

However, as you are reliant on antihistamines daily, it’s essential to consult with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner before making significant changes to your treatment plan. Consistent monitoring and tailored adjustments might be necessary to manage your symptoms effectively and safely.

Chronic urticaria is a challenging condition, but there are Ayurvedic approaches that might help manage it better alongside your current treatments. This condition is often linked to an imbalance of the Pitta dosha, which can cause excessive heat and inflammation in the body. Here are some suggestions aligned with Siddha-Ayurvedic traditions:

1. Diet: Focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet. Reduce or eliminate spicy, sour, and salty foods that can aggravate Pitta. Include more cooling foods like cucumber, melons, and leafy greens. Avoid processed foods and go for fresh, whole meals that include sufficient fiber.

2. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out toxins. You could also sip on herbal teas made from chamomile or peppermint, which are cooling and may help reduce inflammation.

3. External Applications: Cooling herbal pastes or oils, such as those containing sandalwood or aloe vera, can be applied to the skin to soothe itchiness.

4. Herbs: Taking herbs like neem or guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) may support the immune system and help normalize heat imbalances. These should be incorporated into your routine under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.

5. Ayurveda and Lifestyle: Manage your stress as it can worsen your symptoms. Practice regular calming exercises, such as yoga or meditation, which can help balance your doshas and support overall wellness.

Consult with a practitioner experienced in Siddha-Ayurvedic traditions to tailor these suggestions to your prakriti and monitor your condition carefully. Do not stop your antihistamine medication without consulting your healthcare provider.

HELLO SHUBHANGAM,

In Ayurveda, urticaria is primarily due to -vata and kapha imbalance -ama(toxins) accumulation -poor agni(digestion/metabolism) -exacerbated by incompatible foods, stress and improper routines

HOME REMEDIE9consistent use for 8-12 weeks)

1) HARIDRA(TURMERIC) + BLACK PEPPER - 1 tsp turmeric + pinch of black pepper in warm water or cow’s milk -twice daily- powerful antihistamines and blood purifier

2) NEEM JUICE -10-15 fresh leaves boiled in water, drink daily on empty. stomach =reduces toxin and skin hypersensitivity

3) GUDUCHI GHANVATI= 1 tab twice edialy after meals =boosts immunity, reduces allergic respnse

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before bed =cleanses gut,balances pitta, and supports skin health

LIFESTYLE AND DIET

AVOID -sour, spicy, fermented foods -curd, seafood, brinjal, peanuts -stress, irregular sleep, daytime sleeping

FAVOUR -light, warm, easily digestible foods- khichdi, boiled veggies -ghee in moderation -warm water throughout day

AYURVEDIC MEDICATIONS

1) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =liver detocx, clears skin

2) HARIDRAHANDA= 1 tsp with warm milk atnight =classic remedy for allergy

3) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm milk before meals =balances pitta, supports digestion

4) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 15 tsp with warm water twice daily before meals =blood purifier

Levocetrizine can be used only during flare-ups, but not as daily reliance

Your current mixed path may be counterproductive. choose only one patthy and follow it consistently for atleadt 12 weeks

THANK YOU

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.

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

Dr. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
