Hello Sudhir,

From your description, it seems you have stress-induced digestive disturbance — possibly a form of Grahani (IBS-like condition in Ayurveda) with Ama (toxic undigested residues)

A whitish tongue coating indicates Ama and sluggish digestion (Mandagni). But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

☑️Analysis of Current Medicines

👉Gandharva Haritaki Churna – Strong Vata–Kapha relieving laxative; in your case, the loose stools show it’s too strong for your current gut condition. Not ideal until stools become more formed.

👉Charak Stop IBS – Useful for regulating bowel movement & reducing gut irritation.

👉Aam Pathak Vati – Helps in Ama digestion & improves Agni (digestive fire).

➡️ Your current combination (Stop IBS + Aam Pathak Vati) is okay for the short term, but you also need gut-healing & stress-calming medicines along with diet & lifestyle correction for a long-term cure

✅AYURVEDIC MANGEMENT-

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Amlant 1-0-1 Before breakfast and dinner – For loose stools, reduces gut inflammation. 2 Mebarid 1-0-1 After breakfast and dinner 3 Pippalyasava 30ml-0-30ml + 30 ml water after breakfast and dinner Improves digestion & reduces Ama without causing diarrhea. 4 Dadimadi ghrita 1 tsp at bed time follwed by warm water ( for internal healing) 5 Brahmi Vati 1-0-1 (For calming mind, reducing stress impact on gut.)

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✔️Include moong dal khichdi, rice, bottle gourd, pumpkin, cumin, ajwain, ginger tea. Eat freshly cooked, warm, soft foods. Eat at fixed times; avoid skipping meals.

❌Avoid raw salads, very spicy food, fermented food, cold drinks, tea/coffee in excess.

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

👉Practice deep breathing (Anulom–Vilom) for 5 mins twice daily. 👉Avoid eating in a hurry or under stress. 👉Sleep on time 👉 avoid late nights.

Loose stools and coating should start reducing in 2–3 weeks.

Gut stability and mental calmness in 6–8 weeks if stress management is consistent.

Wish you a good health and calm mind😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Dr. Purva Balkrishna Amin
I am Dr Purva Balkrishna Amin, an Ayurved Consultant who’s mostly into treating chronic and lifestyle-linked stuff, like metabolic issues, gynac conditions, joint probs (the kind that just hang around forever), and yeah—skin too. I use a mix of palliative methods and deep internal cleansing…what we call biopurificatory therapy in Ayurveda, which honestly makes such a huge diff when you do it right. Some cases need just balance, others demand a full reset—and that’s where I come in. I mostly rely on ayurvedic meds, no shortcuts. But that’s never enough on its own. I do prescribe diet, very customized ones actually—'cause two people with same problem may still need very different food habits. Same with movement. If I feel like the patient’s routine or prakriti needs a tweak, I also suggest an exercise plan. It’s not gym talk, I mean stuff that suits their doshas and energy. And I ask them to stick with it not out of pressure but bcoz consistency is kinda everything if you want real healing and not just temp relief. I do believe discipline matters. Like not the harsh kinda discipline, but the slow, quiet kind where ppl just stay true to their healing plan. That’s when body starts to change, symptoms slow down, and confidence builds. Also I try to keep the vibe human...not every condition is curable maybe, but every person is treatable, that’s the line I keep in mind. Every case teaches me something new too...and I don’t mind admitting I still pause before complicated diagnoses sometimes, not bcoz of doubt but because Ayurveda has layers, and it makes you think deeper if you're doing it honestly. I aim to bring that level of care to whoever walks in.

Stress and Digestive issues are always interconnected and stress/disturbed sleep usually affects your digestion,which also causes ama. Would suggest you to eat mindfully and on regular time,try not to have lunch after 2pm which will again disturb your digestion.

Gandharva haritaki churna being a strong laxative is causing loose stools instead take Trivrutta Churna.

Medications: 1) Avipattikar churna with 1cup warm water twice a day post meals.

2)Hingavastak Churna 2-3pinch churna before every meal Will regularize your digestive fire.

3)Trivrutta churna 1spoon churna with 1cup warm water post dinner As an mild laxative.

4)Ashwagandha Vati 2tablets with 1/2 cup milk Will help you as stress reliever and nervine tonic.

5)Avoid late night meals. 6)Avoid unneccessary munching of snacks. 7)Try 30min Slow walks after meals whenever possible. 8)Add Buttermilk after your lunchs. 9)Avoid Caffeine/Alcohol/Tannin in larger quantity.

Take Care.

Regards, Dr Purva

​It’s good that you’re taking proactive steps to address your health concerns. Dealing with chronic stress can certainly have a significant impact on your digestive system and overall well-being.

​Your symptoms—a change in bowel habits, a whitish tongue, and the stress you’ve experienced—point to potential issues with your digestive health. A whitish tongue is often an indicator of a buildup of toxins or poor digestion, which in Ayurveda is referred to as ama.

Ama can disrupt the balance of your doshas and lead to various health problems, including changes in bowel movements.

​The fact that Gandharva Haritaki churnan caused loose stools suggests it may have been too strong for your current digestive state. This is a common occurrence, as some herbal formulations can have a potent cleansing effect that can be overwhelming if the digestive system is already sensitive or imbalanced. The goal is to gently restore balance, not to cause further distress.

​It’s wise that you’ve switched to Charak Stop-IBS and Aam Pathak Vati. Stop-IBS is specifically formulated to help manage the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which often include changes in bowel habits. Aam Pathak Vati is designed to help digest and eliminate ama, which aligns with the potential cause of your symptoms.

​Recommendations for Your Health ​While you are taking these medicines, consider these additional steps to support your recovery:

​Dietary Changes: Focus on a diet that is easy to digest. This includes cooked vegetables, grains like rice and quinoa, and light, warm meals. Avoid cold, raw, or heavy foods like dairy, fried items, and processed foods, which can be hard on your digestive system.

​Mindful Eating: Eat in a relaxed environment and chew your food thoroughly. Avoid eating when you are stressed or upset, as this can directly affect digestion.

​Stress Management: Since stress was a major trigger, it is crucial to continue managing it. Simple practices like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or gentle yoga can be very effective. Even a short walk in nature can help calm your nervous system.

​Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day. Warm water can help your digestion and assist in flushing out toxins.

​It’s important to be patient with your body’s healing process. Restoring balance after a period of heavy stress and digestive issues takes time. Continue to monitor your symptoms and how you feel with the current medication

The digestive changes and the presence of a whitish tongue indicate an imbalance in Kapha dosha and accumulation of ama (toxins) in your system. The use of Gandharva Haritaki churna might have been too strong, leading to a purgative effect, which is a common occurrence due to its laxative properties. When it comes to the current medication, Charak Stop IBS and Aam Pathak Vati are often used to manage irritable bowel syndrome and reduce ama, respectively.

However, it’s important to monitor how these medications affect you. Are they easing symptoms without causing additional ones, like diarrhoea? Ayurveda appreciates individualization, so what works for one may not be perfect for another. If these formulations are beneficial without causing further issues, they may be suitable. Always be observant of your body’s reactions and adjust accordingly.

Additionally, consider the following suggestions to promote balance:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Favor warm, easily digestible foods like soups and kichadi. Reduce intake of heavy, oily, or excessively spicy foods. Ginger tea may support digestion and help reduce ama. Try to keep your mealtimes regular.

2. Lifestyle Practices: Maintain a routine that includes regular exercise, which can help relieve stress and support digestion. Simple practices like walking or yoga are beneficial.

3. Hydration: Ensure adequate water intake but avoid cold beverages. Warm drinks, especially post-meals, aid digestion.

4. Yoga & Meditation: Practicing relaxation techniques can help alleviate stress, which may improve overall digestion and reduce ama.

5. Seek Guidance: Consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner in person can further refine these suggestions based on your current health state and constitution.

It’s crucial to prioritize your experience with symptoms and adjust any Ayurvedic regimen in consultation with a healthcare provider who is familiar with your complete health profile. Always consider professional evaluation for persistent or severe symptoms.

Gandharva Haritaki Churna is known for its laxative properties, which explains the loose stools you experienced. Given your symptoms of altered bowel habits and a whitish tongue, you might be dealing with digestive issues possibly linked to a vitiated Vata and accumulation of Ama (toxins), disrupting Agni (digestive fire).

The products you’re currently using, Charak Stop IBS and Aam Pathak Vati, may help control symptoms by addressing imbalances and eliminating toxins. However, it’s important to ensure that they align with your individual prakriti and symptomatology. Simply taking these formulations might not fully resolve the root cause if not tailored to your constitutional needs.

To address the whitish tongue and bowel irregularities, focus on rebalancing Vata and strengthening the digestive fire (Agni). Regularly consume warm, cooked meals favoring easy-to-digest foods. Consider small amounts of warming spices like ginger, cumin, or fennel in your cooking, which can help enhance digestion.

Ayurvedic practices such as Abhyanga (self-massage with warm sesame oil) can be beneficial for calming Vata and reducing stress-induced imbalances. Staying hydrated with warm herbal teas like ginger or mint can also assist with digestion.

For long-term relief, practical lifestyle changes like a consistent daily routine, stress management through yoga or pranayama, and ensuring adequate and restful sleep play a crucial role. Consultation with a Siddha-Ayurvedic practitioner to re-evaluate your regimen may provide a more personalized approach. Adjusting current treatment may be necessary for more effective results. If symptoms persist or worsen, professional medical advice is advisable.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. 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 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.

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?

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.

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.
