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 PRASATH,

Gastric issues like bloating, indigestion, and irregular bowelmovements can feel overwhelming, especially when they affect your daily life and peace of mind.

Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in vata (gas, dryness) and pitta (acidity, inflammation). Digestion is governed by Agni (digestive fire). When Agni is weak or disturbed , toxins (ama) build up, leading to bloating, gas, and indigestion

1) DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early 7 am -drink warm water with a pinch of hing, and ajwain. -avoid sleeping late and reduce screen time

2) DIET -eat warm, cooked , light meals -avoid raw, cold, or oily foods -eat at regular times -avoid= milk + fruit, curd at night, carbonated drinks, fried foods

FAVOUR -jeera water -buttermilk with rock salt and roasted jeera -methi seeds soaked overnight -soft khichdi with ghee

MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA= 1 tsp t bedtime with warm water =regulates bowels, detox

2) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals =reduces bloating, improves digestion

3) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp after meals with warm water =reduces acidity

4) AJAMODADI CHURNA= after food 1/2 tsp with warm water =gas, colic

HYDRATION -sip warm water throughout the day -avoid ice cold drinks

YOGA AND LIFESTYLE

YOGA ASANA= pawanmuktasana, vajrasana after meals, ardha matsyendrasana

BREATHING= anulom-vilom, kapalbhati (if not too weak or inflamed)

AVOID STRESS- it’s a big trigger for gut issues

-If constipation is chronic, consider mild castor oil- 1 tsp in warm milk at bedtime once a week

-If weight gain is a concern, focus on balancing agni not crash diets

-Avoid long gaps between meals or overeating

SIMPLE DIET PLAN

MORNING= warm water + triphala BREAKFAST= moong dal dosa/ IDLI and take jeera water LUNCH= khichdi + ghee + cooked veggies + buttermilk EVENING= herbal tea cumin - fennel DINNER= light soup + rice + veggies BEDTIME= triphala or warm milk with turmeric

You’re only 23- your body has great healing powder if supported naturally. Be consistent, stay calm, and follow this plan for 21 days.

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

​Ayurveda views bloating and gastric issues as a sign of an imbalance in the body, primarily related to the Vata dosha (the air and space element). When Vata is aggravated in the digestive tract, it can lead to the accumulation of gas, causing discomfort and bloating.

​Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to address this, focusing on diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies to restore balance and improve digestion.

​Dietary Adjustments ​Ayurveda places great emphasis on mindful eating and a diet that supports Agni (the digestive fire).

​Favor Warm and Cooked Foods: Cold, raw foods, and iced beverages can weaken Agni. Opt for warm, freshly cooked meals like soups, stews, and steamed vegetables.

​Include Digestive Spices: Spices are key to kindling Agni. Incorporate carminative spices like ginger, cumin, coriander, fennel, asafoetida (hing), and turmeric into your cooking.

​Avoid Gas-Forming Foods: Reduce or avoid foods known to cause gas, such as beans, cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower), and carbonated drinks.

​Mindful Eating: Chew your food thoroughly and eat in a calm, peaceful environment. Avoid overeating and eating on the run.
​Proper Hydration: Sip on warm water or herbal teas throughout the day. Avoid drinking large amounts of water with meals as it can dilute digestive enzymes.
​Herbal Remedies

​Several Ayurvedic herbs and formulations are traditionally used to relieve gas and bloating:

​Ginger: Known for its digestive properties, ginger can be consumed as a tea or added to meals. Dry ginger (Shunthi) is often considered more potent for Vata imbalances.

​Fennel Seeds (Saunf): Chewing a teaspoon of roasted fennel seeds after a meal is a common practice to aid digestion and prevent gas. Fennel tea can also be very effective.

​Cumin Seeds (Jeera): Cumin water or tea is an excellent remedy. Boil cumin seeds in water, strain, and drink to reduce bloating.
​Asafoetida (Hing): This pungent spice is a powerful carminative. A pinch of hing mixed with warm water can provide quick relief. It’s also a staple in dishes that are known to cause gas, like lentils and beans.

​Triphala: A blend of three fruits (Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki), Triphala helps to cleanse the digestive tract and promote healthy bowel movements, which can prevent gas buildup.

​Trikatu: A combination of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper, Trikatu helps to stimulate digestion and reduce gas.
​Lifestyle Practices

​Regular Exercise: Moderate physical activity, such as walking or yoga, can help improve digestion and encourage the movement of gas through the digestive tract.

​Stress Management: Stress can aggravate Vata and lead to digestive issues. Practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises, and gentle yoga can help calm the mind and support digestive health.

​Abdominal Massage: Gently massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction with warm sesame or castor oil can help stimulate digestion and alleviate discomfort from trapped gas.

Treatment

1) hinguvastaka churna 2 gm 1 hr before food with ghee and warm water 3 times

2) maha shankha vati - before food 3 times with warm water

You are 23, and you are experiencing - bloating (stomach feels full , tight, and sometimes painful) -Indigestion (food feels heavy, sometimes belching or nausea) -Irregular bowel movements (either constipation or loose stools) -weight gain(especially around the abdomen)

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE BODY -In Ayurveda, your digestive fire is weak or imbalanced -Vata dosha imbalance-> gas, bloating, constipation, irregular stool -Kapha dosha imbalance-> heaviness, weight gain, slow digestion -Pitta may also be mildly involved if you feel acidity or mild burning

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO TREAT NOW -If left unmanaged, chronic digestive issues can affect energy, immunity, metabolism, and even mental health -Early management prevents long-term complications like metabolic disorders, chronic constipation, or IBS

TREATMENT GOALS -improve digestive fire-> better digestion and nutrient absorption -reduce bloating and gas-> balance vata -normalize bowel movements-> regular stool without pain and urgency -reduce weight naturally-> balance kapha -detoxify and remove ama(toxins)-> improve energy and metabolism -strengthen overall digestive health-> prevent recurrence

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS

1) ABDOMINAL MASSAGE= warm sesame oil -gentle clockwise massage 15 min, 2-3 times/week -improves digestion, reduces gas, stimulates metabolism

2) HOT WATER BAG ON ABDOMEN AFTER MASSAGE =helps relax intestinal muscles and reduce bloating

LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT FOR RECOVERY -regular exercise= walking, cycling, light jogging -Avoid sedentry habits= sitting long hours worsens vata and kapha imbalance -stress management= yoga, meditation, pranayam -sleep hygiene= 7-8 hours, avoid late night meals

YOGA ASANAS -Pawanmuktasana= relieves bloating -Vajrasana= improves digestion after meals -Bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs -Trikonasana/ Ardha matsyendrasana= reduces gas and constipaion

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= reduces stress, balance vata -Kapalbhati= stimulate digestive fire -Bhramari= reduces stress, improves gut-brain axis

Gastric issues, like bloating and indigestion, may be linked to an imbalance in your doshas, primarily Vata and Pitta, and the status of your digestive fire, or Agni. A few practical steps can be taken to help. First, your diet should be easy-to-digest, favour warm, cooked foods, soups, and stews. Minimize raw, cold, and hard-to-digest foods. Focus on having your meals at regular intervals, perhaps every 4-5 hours, without snacking in between. Try to include spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel in your cooking — they can enhance digestion and reduce bloating.

Start your day by drinking warm water with a few drops of fresh lemon juice. This may help to clear stagnation and stimulate digestion. Using ginger tea about 30 minutes before meals often supports Agni and alleviates bloating. When it comes to addressing motion issues, regularity can be key. Incorporating fiber-rich foods, simply like cooked spinach or stewed prunes, can improve bowel movements. Ghee (clarified butter) taken with warm milk at bedtime may aid in smooth bowel movement and balance Vata dosha.

Weight gain, could be thwarted with regular exercise; walking or yoga can be beneficial. Make sure to maintain a disciplined lifestyle, waking up and sleeping at a similar time daily. Activities such as Pranayama can have profound effects on stress and digestive health.

Avoid habits like late-night eating or consuming heavy meals before bed. Try to eat the heaviest meal at lunchtime, when Agni is strongest. Keeping check on processed foods, sweets and excessive dairy might also assist in achieving balance. If symptoms continue or worsen, seek a professional medical evaluation.

For your concerns of bloating, indigestion, and other digestive problems at such a young age, let’s focus on understanding the root cause from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective. These symptoms often hint at an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement within the body, and can also involve Pitta if there’s acidity or heat-related discomfort. Here’s some practical advice you can follow:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Begin by eating warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest - avoid raw, cold foods and drinks. Include ginger and cumin in your meals to stimulate Agni (digestive fire) and help with digestion. Stay away from processed foods, fizzy drinks, and excessive sugar, which can disturb the digestive process.

2. Eating Habits: Eat at regular intervals - not too late at night. Chew your food thoroughly and eat mindfully without distractions. Drinking warm water throughout the day can help maintain digestive functions.

3. Herbal Formulations: Consider using trikatu, a formulation of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger. It aids digestion and reduces bloating. However, consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for appropriate dosing, especially if you have any concurrent conditions.

4. Lifestyle Modifications: Engage in regular physical activities like yoga or brisk walking to encourage proper digestion and metabolism. Practicing pranayama (breath control exercises) can help balance Vata and settle your digestive system too.

5. Sleep Routine: Ensure you’re getting adequate rest, align with natural body rhythms by sleeping early, and waking with the sunrise.

6. Medical Attention: If symptoms persist or include severe pain or rapid weight changes, seek medical attention. This could indicate a more serious condition requiring immediate care.

Focus on consistency and gentle shifts in your lifestyle for sustainable healing. This approach respects the body’s natural balance and gently encourages restoration without extreme interventions.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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

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

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. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

Dr. Sumi. S
I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.

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

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.
