I am someone who really believes that Ayurveda isn’t just about giving herbs and oils—it's more like a whole way of looking at the body, the habits, the food, and how everything connects together. I got solid training in Ayurvedic clinical practice and feel most confident when I'm using therapies like Panchakarma or planning proper Shodhana for someone who's stuck in a cycle of chronic illness or stress-related issues. There’s just something powerful about seeing how classical cleansing can bring that shift in energy and clarity for ppl who've tried everything else. I work a lot on dosha assessment—sometimes it takes a bit of digging cause symptoms don’t always line up in a textbook way. But once I figure out what’s really going off-balance, I try to make treatment super personalized. It’s not just about giving a kashayam or lepa... I spend time explaining diet changes, routines, sleep timing, and even emotional triggers when needed. Many people don’t realise how big a role lifestyle play in their conditions. Right now, I’m mostly focused on lifestyle disorders and detox-based therapies. Things like PCOS, fatty liver, skin allergies, joint stiffness, IBS, anxiety-linked issues… those come up a lot. I try not to rush. I’d rather go slow n consistent, combining classical concepts with modern diagnostics if needed. Blood tests, reports, scans—they help me track things while still keeping the treatment Ayurvedic in core. I’m also pretty organized about documenting my cases—not just for reference but to understand patterns better. I guess every case teaches you something new, even after hundreds of patients. And I do keep learning, whether it’s updating protocols or trying to refine a virechana schedule that didn’t go as planned. In the end, for me it’s really about finding that balance for each person... not just patching the symptom. I think that’s where Ayurveda really shines.

Even after Panchakarma, the nerve often needs weeks to months to fully heal.

So while your doctor may have meant that you’ll “feel better in a couple of days,” full recovery usually takes longer. You might see some improvement in a few days.

But here what you can do now

1. Continue Ayurvedic Care • Daily oil application (Mahanarayana taila / Sahacharadi taila) with gentle warming before application • Mild stretching after warm oil application, only if pain allows • Avoid forward bending, sudden twisting, or lifting weights

2. Combine with Gentle Modern Care • Physiotherapy: Continue physiotherapy treatment as long as possible • Hot fomentation (not too hot) after oil massage for 10–15 min • B12 & Vitamin D check — low levels slow nerve recovery

3. For Diabetes Control • Keep fasting sugar & HbA1c in good range for optimal nerve repair • Avoid prolonged sitting; change posture every 30–40 min

If you develop: • Sudden increase in pain • Weakness in foot/leg (foot drop) • Loss of bladder/bowel control Seek medical help immediately — these can indicate severe nerve compression.

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

​From an Ayurvedic perspective, the symptoms you’re describing, including L5-S1 disc issues, radiating pain to the leg (sciatica), and numbness, are commonly associated with an aggravation of Vata dosha. This condition is often referred to as Gridhrasi.

​Ayurvedic Treatment Principles ​Ayurvedic treatment for conditions like yours focuses on reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and strengthening the affected area by balancing the aggravated Vata dosha. This is done through a combination of therapies, internal medications, and lifestyle adjustments.

​Herbal Medications: various herbal medicines to be taken internally. These are chosen for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and nerve-strengthening properties. Common herbs used include:
​Guggulu: Known for its ability to reduce pain and inflammation.
​Ashwagandha: Helps to strengthen nerves and muscles.
​Dashamoola: A blend of ten herbs with potent anti-inflammatory effects.

​Diet and Lifestyle: To prevent a recurrence and support healing, a Vata-pacifying diet is recommended . This involves consuming warm, nourishing, and easily digestible foods while avoiding cold, dry, and gas-forming foods. Maintaining proper posture and avoiding heavy lifting are also crucial.
​Yoga and Exercises: Gentle exercises and specific yoga postures can help improve flexibility, strengthen core muscles, and reduce stiffness. However, it’s essential to perform these under expert guidance to avoid worsening the condition.

​The pulling pain and foot numbness during the daytime are classic symptoms of nerve compression (radiculopathy) associated with your L5-S1 disc issue. It’s not uncommon for symptoms to persist after initial treatment, and follow-up care is often necessary to achieve a full recovery. Continued treatment, potentially including more Panchakarma sessions, herbal medicines, and consistent lifestyle changes, can help to further alleviate your daytime symptoms and provide a more long-lasting cure.

1) Tab. Rasnadi Guggulu-2 tab. After food with warm water; 3 times

2) Tab. Sahacharadi Kashayam-2 tab.

After food with hinguwachadi tail 2ml and warm water; 2 time

3) Ashwagandha-2gm+ Pippalimoola -1gm+Chopachini-1gm +Gokshura-1 gm+Maharashtrian Rasa 125mg+Sameerapannaga Rasa-60mg- after food with water 2 times

HELLO PARTHASARATHY,

You have L5-S1 disc problem, -The spinal discs are like cushions between the bones of your spine -At the L5-S1 level (low back), your disc is bulging or slipped, pressing on the sciatic nerve. -The sciatic nerve runs from your lower back-> through the buttocks -> down the leg to the toes

THAT’S WHY -You have pain from hip to toe (radiating pain) -There’s a “pulling” feeling and numbness in the foot -pain worsens during the day with activities -numbness means the nerve is irritated and partly compressed. You also have diabetes, which can slow nerve healing because high sugar can affect nerve nutrition.

In Ayurveda, this is similar to Gridhrasi, a disease caused mainly by aggravated Vata dosha (the energy responsible for movement, nerve impulses, dryness). Sometimes Kapha dosha also joins (causing stiffness and swelling)

ROOT PROBLEM ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA -weakness/dryness in spine tissues (asthi dhatu and majja dhatu) -vata movin gin wrong direction (vyana Vayu and apana Vayu disturbance) -obstruction of nerve pathway by disc swelling

TREATMENT GOALS -Reduce nerve irritation and pain-> relieve inflammation and pressure -Nourish and strengthen discs, nerves, and muscles-> to prevent recurrence -Correct vata imbalance-> restore proper nerve function and body balance

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE= MAHANARAYAN TAILA =warm oil massage for 15 mins daily =lubricates tissues, relaxes muscles, pacifies vata, improves blood circulation

2) FOLLOWED BY HOT STEAM =allow oil to penetrate deeper

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) MAHAYOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =removes stiffness, clears channels, pacifies vata

2) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily before meals =anti inflammatory, vata kapha balancing

3) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 500mg cap twice daily after meals =strengthens nerves, reduces stress, improves sleep

4) RASNADI KASAHYA= 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals =for pain and swelling

5) TRIPHALA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =maintain digestion and prevents constipation

DURATION= usually 8-12 weeks

LIFESTYLE CHANGES AVOID= sitting for long periods, lifting heavy objects, forward bending, sudden twisting

USE= firm mattress, lumbar support chair, avoid high heels

WARMTH= keep lower back warm, avoid exposure to cold wind

MOVEMENT= short walks, gentle stretching, never stay in one position > 30 mins

YOGA - GENTLE AND SLOW -Bhujangasana= strengthens back muscles -Makarasana= relieves back strain - Setu bandhasana= strengthens core -Shalabhasana= improves spinal health

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata, calms mind -Bhramari= relieves stress, improves nerve healing -Ujjayi= improves oxygenation

DIET

INCLUDE= warm cooked vegetables, soups, khichdi, ghee, whole grains, soaked almonds, sesame seeds

SPICES= ginger, cumin , ajwain, turmeric

AVOID= cold drinks, raw salads, excess dry foods, too much caffeine, processed sugar

DIABETES FRIENDLY TWEAKS= use millets ragi, jowar, bajra, avoid refined flour, limit rice to small quantities

HOME REMEDIES -Warm sesame oil massage on lower back+ mild heating pad -decoction of dashmoola or rasna= 1 cup twice daily -turmeric+ warm milk with black pepper at night= anti inflammatory -fenugreek seed powder (1/2tsp) in warm water morning- reduces stiffness

INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -MRI lumbar spine -Blood sugar -vitamin b12 and D

-Pain may reduce quickly, but numbness takes time- often several weeks to moths -with diabetes nerve healing is slower, so patience is key -consistency, correct posture, proper diet, and vata pacifying lifestyle will reduce recurrence -Ayurveda aims not just at pain relief, but strengthening your back for long term

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

With L5 S1 disc issues, sciatica, and symptoms like pain radiating from the hip to the toe, what ou’re experiencing is understandable. The improvements in sleep after Panchakarma indicate some positive shift, but daytime discomfort, pulling pain, and foot numbness are quite common with this condition. Ayurveda looks at the root cause, often linked to aggravated Vata dosha, and aims to balance this through specific treatments and lifestyle adjustments.

Expecting a cure in just a few days might be overly optimistic, particularly if symptoms are long-standing. Recovery times can vary, and while significant relief may occur soon, complete healing sometimes requires more persistent efforts. Regular oil applications (like Mahanarayana or Sahacharadi taila) support the process by soothing aggravated nerves and reducing inflammation. Continue using warm oil (slightly above body temperature) and massage gently to promote better circulation and relieve stiffness.

Include anti-inflammatory herbs in your routine such as Ashwagandha or Guggul, whichever suits your body type. Consult with your Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized doses. Diet also plays a crucial role; focus on warm, fresh foods, avoiding raw or very cold items that could aggravte Vata. Ginger tea can aid digestion and reduce Vata imbalance. Gentle yoga or stretching exercises tailored for sciatica relief may support recovery; however, avoid strain.

Consider seeking a second opinion if symptoms persist or worsen. The realistic outcome depends not only on initial treatments but also on staying committed to self-care routines and possibly exploring adjunct Ayurvedic therapies. Time, patience, and comprehensive management are key components in addressing such conditions holistically. Keep in touch regularily with your Ayurvedic physician for follow-up and modifications as necessary.

Sciatica pain and symptoms from an L5-S1 disc issue are often rooted in Vata imbalance, particularly focusing on Apana Vata that governs the lower part of the body. You’ve mentioned undergoing a Panchakarma treatment, which is a very beneficial approach for cleansing and possibly alleviating some of those Vata disturbances. However, healing from sciatica can be gradual, and while your sleep improvement suggests some positive progression, the daytime discomfort and numbness indicate that your body still needs more time and care to recover fully.

Immediate full recovery in a couple of days might be optimistic. Consistency with the recommended therapies and lifestyle adjustments will help facilitate your healing process. Continue with the oil application, ideally using medicated oils like Mahanarayan oil or Kottamchukkadi oil, which support joint health and pain relief. Apply warm oil gently on the affected area twice a day, followed by a warm compress, if suggested.

Incorporate gentle yoga poses or exercises that can help in stretching and strengthening muscles around the spine and lower limb. Focus on postures like Bhujangasana (cobra pose) and Pawanmuktasana (wind-relieving pose) but practice carefully and under guidance if you’re unfamiliar. Pranayama, especially slow, deep breathing, can also assist in balancing Vata and calming the nervous system.

Keep an eye on your diet to support Vata pacification. Warm, cooked foods with healthy fats like ghee can be beneficial. Avoiding cold, dry, or overly processed foods can also support your condition. Nourishing your body with warm fluids such as herbal teas, specifically ginger or ajwain tea, can support digestion and Vata balance.

Ensure you’re resting appropriately during the day to prevent exacerbating the symptoms. If discomfort persists or worsens, follow up with your Ayurvedic physician, and consult a neurologist to exclude more severe neural problems needing urgent medical intervention.

I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

HELLO PARTHASARATHY,

AGE= 54 years CONDITION= L5-S1 disc issue with radiating pain from hip to toe, foot numbnesss (sciatica) CHRONIC ISSUES= diabetes STATUS= completed 14 days of panchakarma, night sleep improved, daytime discomfort and numbness continue

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT

DOSHA INVOLVEMENT= predominantly vata disorder (apana vata imbalance)

DHATU AFFECTED= majja dhatu (nerves), asthi dhatu (bones)

PATHOLOGY= vata gets aggravated and compresses nerve roots at L5-S1, causing radiation and numbness

CURRENT PROGRESS -improvement in sleep post panchakarma indicates calming of aggravated vata -Daytime discomfort and numbness suggest residual vata imbalance, deeper nerve involvement

CAN IT BE CURED IN A COUPLE OF DAYS? Unikely to be fully cured in just a few days- nerve recovery takes time. However with proper continuation of care, symptoms can significantly improve within 2-6 weeks

CONTINUE EXTERNAL THERAPIES AT HOME

-Oil massage daily with Mahanarayan taila

-After oil massage localised or full body steam therapy

ORAL MEDICATIONS

1) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =anti inflammatory and balances vata

2) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 25 ml with equal water twice daily before meals =reloeves pain and inflammation

3) TRAYODASHANGA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =nerve tonic, useful for sciatica

4) BALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water/milk in night =strengthens nerves and reduces fatigue

5) VATA VIDHWAMSA RAS= 125 mg in morning =vata hará

LIFESTYLE AND DIET -warm, vata pacifying diet= no cold/raw foods, avoid gas- forming items -use ghee, warm cooked meals, herbal teas ginger, ajwain -avoid long sitting, forward bending and cold exposure -gentle yoga/stretching

SUPPLEMENTS -Ayurvedic nerve tonic= Brahmi vati= 1 tab at night

WHAT TO EXPECT

1 WEEK= reduced pain and stiffness

2-4 WEEK= gradual reduction in numbness

4-6 WEEK= significant nerve recovery

-Full nerve regeneration may take several weeks to few months -stick to routine, dont skip oil application and internal medications -avoid heavy exercise until pain subsides

THANK YOU

Dr. Arun Desai
I am Dr. Arun Desai, working in Ayurveda for 19+ years now, both online and offline. My clinic, Ayur Sanjivani, is at #44 B 1, Opp Adarsh Laundry, beside Tej Residency, near Kavalemath Somwaar Peth Cross in Tilakwadi, Belgaum – bit of a long address but patients seem to find it just fine. Over time I’ve learned that people today want relief fast but still safe and lasting. That’s where I mix the depth of classical Ayurveda with practical tweaks to suit this fast moving lifestyle. I don’t like giving something that just masks a symptom – I want to get to the root cause whenever possible. At the clinic, I try to keep things warm and easy to talk, not a stiff doctor’s table vibe. Whether it’s diagnosis, a Panchakarma session, or simple counseling, I want patients to feel they can ask anything, even small doubts. Education matters too – when someone understands why a certain diet or lifestyle change is needed, they actually follow it better. Treatments may include herbal formulations, diet charts, yoga routines, exercise plans, detox, anti-stress work – all depending on their prakruti and condition. Over the years, I’ve treated people from many walks of life – each case different, which keeps me learning. Some come for joint pain, some for skin problems, others for lifestyle disorders like diabetes or high BP. I still follow authentic Ayurvedic principles but adapt them so they work in today’s reality. And yes, I’m always updating my knowledge, making sure the practice stays ethical and effective, because for me, Ayurveda isn’t just treatment – it’s a way to help someone rebuild their health from inside out.

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

Dr. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

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

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