HELLO PAVITHRA,

You’ve been experiencing -neck, shoulder, and back pain -stiffness in spine and Lower back -strange vibration- like sensations moving up your spine when walking or speaking -palpitations in the head, chest, and spine

All your medical tests came back normal, which can be very frustrating- because you feel the symptoms strongly, but there’s no clear diagnosis from modern tests

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? In Ayurveda, when symptoms are present but test reports are normal, we often consider it a functional imbalance in the body- not a structural one. This means your body’s system (like nerves and energy flow) are disturbed, even though organs and tissues seem healthy

AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS : VATA VYADHI (vata imbalance) Ayurveda explains your condition as a disturbance of vata dosha, especially in -majja dhatu (nervous tissue) -asthi dhatu (bones and joints) -prana vata an yana vata (subtypes controlling brain and nerve impulses)

WHEN VATA IS IMBALANCED -It causes dryness, stiffness, pain, tremors, palpitations, fear, anxiety and strange sensation like vibrations -It can spread all over the body, especially where there is weakness (like spine, nerves, joints) -mental health can also be affected- anxiety, restlessness, irritability

TREATMENT GOALS -calm and balance vata dosha -nourish and strengthen nerves -remove stiffness and pain in bones -improve circulation and energy flow in spine -calm the mind and reduce palpitations -create long term stability in nervous system

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KALYANAKA GHRITA= 10 ml with warm milk twice daily in morning and night =medhya rasayana (nevine tonic), improves memory, calms mind, nourishes majja dhatu

2) MAHAYOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =strong anti-data, relieves chronic spinal pain, strengthens joints and bones

3) ASHWAGANDHARISTHA= 30 ml with equal water twice daily after meals =strong vata and majja balancer, reduces nerve-related vibrations and palpitations

4) BALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =painful vata disorders, back stiffness, nerve pain

5) SHILAJIT BHASMA= 250 mg once in morning with warm water =strengthen bones and nervous system, enhances stamina, reduces vata and fatigue

6) SARASWATA GHRITA= 10 ml with milk at night =for nerve related symptoms, palpitations, tremors, vibrations

DURATION= continue for at least 3 months

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) WARM OIL MASSAGE= use , apply warm oil on neck, spine, shoulders daily before bath =reuces vata, stiffness, and pain

2) STEAM THERAPY= after massage, take steam on painful areas using warm towel or steam oit =relieves stiffness and improves circulation

PANCHAKARMA= IF FEASIBLE GO TO GET VERY INSTANT RESULTS

1) ABHYANGA + SWEDANA = oil massage + steam to loosen stiffness and calm nerves

2) BASTI (medicated enema) =most important for chronic vata disorder, deeply nourishes colon and nerves

3) SHIRODHARA= pouring warm oil on forehead- excellent for brain, anxiety, palpitations

4) NASYA= instill 2 drops of shad Bindu taila in each nostril daily morning to remove head and neck imbalances

YOGA ASANA Do soft and slow yoga, no sudden movements -Cat cow stretch= flexes spine, improves back mobility -Child’s pose= relaxes back and nervous system -Brdige pose= strengthens spine -Spinal twist(supine)= improves flexibility and calms nerves -legs-up-the-wall pose= relaxes nervous system, relieves palpittions

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances nervous system, reduces anxiety -Bhramari= vibrational breathing- helps with head vibrations, palpitations -Sheetali/Sheetakari= cools down excess vata and pitta

DIET -warm, soft, freshly cooked food -use ghee and sesame oil generously -include soups, porridges, khichri -boiled milk with ruermci or nutmeg at night -cooked vegetables like pumpkin, carrots, beets, spinach -sweet, salty, and sour tastes in moderation- they calm vata

AVOID -cold,raw, dry foods -salads, dry roti, raw smoothies -leftover , frozen or fermented food -excess caffeine, spicy or pungent food -skipping meals or irregular eating

HOME REMEDIES

Warm oil massage daily before bath

Chamomile tea in evening

Ginger or cumin tea after meals

INVESTIGATIONS ADVISED

-MRI SPINE =rule out disc, nerve root compresson -Vitamin b12, D3 levels -Thyroid profile -ECG/Echo -Nerve conduction study= for peripheral nerve issues

WHAT YOU’RE EXPERIENCING IS REAL- BUT ALSO REVERSIBLE -These symptoms are not just in your imagination . Your body is reading to deep imbalances, even though scans may not show it -The good news= Ayurveda has a powerful approach for such conditions- by calming the vata dosha, strengthening your nerves, and nourishing your mind and body. -Patience and consistency are key. Relief can come within a few weeks, but deeper healing may take 3-6 months

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Hi mam. I went to trip to water falls after coming home I experienced suddenly all this change. Is it because of water falls? And I have been trying anu thailam Dasamoolya rasayanam Prasarinyadi kawtham tablet Mustadi marma tab Gorachandi gulika Drakshadi kawtham tablet

Asthachurnam Shankabasmam Vayugulika Aswagandha but nothing worked.

And also neurologist has told it is fibromyalgia. Is it fibromyalgia? Can it be treated?

It’s unlikely that just visiting a waterfall directly caused fibromyalgia or any chronic neurological condition — but indirectly, yes, it could have played a role. Here’s how: Exposure to cold water or damp conditions can trigger pain flare-ups, especially in people who are already sensitive or prone to musculoskeletal pain. Sudden physical exertion or emotional stress (like climbing, long walking, excitement, or anxiety during the trip) can act as a trigger for fibromyalgia symptoms in those predisposed. If you had a viral infection or physical strain after the trip, it might have unmasked or worsened an underlying condition. So, the trip might have acted as a trigger, not a cause.

Fibromyalgia is a condition involving: Widespread body pain Fatigue Sleep disturbances “Brain fog” (difficulty concentrating) Often anxiety or depression No clear injury or disease on scans/tests Diagnosis is usually made after excluding other causes — and based on symptoms, not tests. If your neurologist has assessed and ruled out other causes (like MS, nerve issues, thyroid problems, vitamin deficiencies, etc.), then a fibromyalgia diagnosis may be appropriate.

Yes, fibromyalgia can be managed. It’s not curable, but many people live well with proper: Pain management Mental health support Daily activity planning You’re not alone — and it’s possible to feel much better.

​From your description, you’re experiencing a range of symptoms including neck and shoulder pain, lower back stiffness and pain, a vibration feeling in your spine from the lower back to your head when you walk or speak, and palpitations in your head, chest, and all over your spine. You mentioned that medical tests have not revealed any underlying issues, and you are interested in an Ayurvedic perspective.

​In Ayurveda, these symptoms could be related to an imbalance in the Vata dosha. Vata is one of the three fundamental doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and is associated with movement, air, and space. When Vata is aggravated, it can lead to various neurological, musculoskeletal, and circulatory symptoms.

​Here’s how I might interpret your symptoms: Pain and Stiffness: Vata is responsible for all movements in the body, including nerve impulses, blood circulation, and joint movement. An excess of Vata can lead to dryness, stiffness, and pain in the joints and muscles, which could explain your neck, shoulder, and lower back pain. Vibration and Palpitations: The vibrating and pulsating sensations you describe are classic signs of Vata imbalance. Vata governs the nervous system, and when it is aggravated, it can cause tremors, tingling, and a sense of internal vibration or “fluttering,” which you’ve described as palpitations. This could be due to nervous system overactivity or a disturbance in the flow of prana (life force) in the body.

​Spinal Symptoms: The spine is a key pathway for Vata, and symptoms along the spine from the lower back to the head are a strong indicator of a Vata imbalance affecting the nervous system and the flow of energy.

Possible Causes of Vata Imbalance:

​According to Ayurveda, Vata can be aggravated by various factors, including:

​Lifestyle: Irregular sleep patterns, a fast-paced and stressful lifestyle, and excessive physical or mental exertion.

​Diet: Consuming too much dry, cold, or raw food, or skipping meals.

​Environment: Exposure to cold, dry, or windy weather. Emotional State: Stress, anxiety, fear, and grief can all disrupt Vata. Ayurvedic Approach:

​ recommend a holistic approach to pacify the aggravated Vata. This would typically involve a combination of the following:
Dietary Adjustments: Favor warm, cooked, and nourishing foods. ​Include healthy fats like ghee and sesame oil. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods. Eat regular meals at consistent times. Treatment 1) tab maha yog raj gugglu -2 tab 3 times with warm water after food 2) ashwagnadharishta - 10 ml 2 times after food with warm water

Therapies: Abhyanga (Self-Massage): Daily warm oil massage, especially with sesame oil, is highly recommended to nourish the nervous system, calm Vata, and improve circulation. Swedana (Herbal Steam Therapy): Gentle steam therapy can help relieve stiffness. Shirodhara: A continuous stream of warm oil poured on the forehead, which is very effective for calming the mind and nervous system .Lifestyle Modifications:

​Establish a regular daily routine (Dinacharya).

​Get adequate and consistent sleep.

​Practice gentle yoga, especially poses that calm the nervous system. ​Incorporate meditation and breathing exercises (Pranayama) to manage stress.

Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, does not have a one-to-one diagnosis for fibromyalgia, but its symptoms are often correlated with a condition called “Vata Vyadhi,” or disorders caused by an imbalance of the Vata dosha.

Vata Dosha: Vata is the bio-energy that governs movement, the nervous system, and circulation in the body. When it is aggravated, it can lead to symptoms like pain, stiffness, dryness, anxiety, and sleep disturbances, which are all common in fibromyalgia.

Ama (Toxins): Ayurveda also identifies the accumulation of Ama (toxic metabolic waste) as a key contributor. Ama can block the body’s channels (srotas), further disrupting the flow of Vata and causing pain and inflammation in the tissues and muscles.

Root Causes: Ayurvedic practitioners believe that the imbalance of Vata and Ama can be triggered by factors such as: Stress and emotional trauma.

Irregular eating and sleeping habits. A diet of cold, dry, or processed foods. Excessive physical or mental exertion.

Ayurvedic Treatment Principles

The goal of Ayurvedic treatment is to pacify the aggravated Vata dosha, eliminate Ama, and strengthen the body’s tissues. This is typically done through a combination of dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and therapeutic treatments.

Dietary Recommendations: Eat warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods. Soups, stews, and porridges are often recommended.

Incorporate healthy fats like ghee (clarified butter) and sesame oil to nourish the tissues and balance Vata’s dry nature.

Use Vata-pacifying spices such as ginger, turmeric, cumin, and coriander to enhance digestion and reduce Ama.

Avoid cold, raw, dry, and processed foods, as they can further aggravate Vata.

Lifestyle Modifications: Establish a regular routine for sleeping, eating, and daily activities to help stabilize Vata.

Get adequate and consistent sleep.

Engage in gentle, non-strenuous exercise like yoga, Tai Chi, and walking to improve circulation and reduce stiffness.

Practice stress management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing (Pranayama), and mindfulness to calm the nervous system.

Stay warm, especially in cold or windy weather, as Vata is associated with coldness.

Treatment You can start with -

1-) Svarna Mahayogaraja guggulu 1 tab. Before food with rasna erandadi kashaya 30 ml with hot water 2 times a day

2) Ashwagandha Churna-2gm Sameerapannaga Rasa-60mg Mahavata vidhwamsini Rasa-125mg Chopachini churna-2gm Pippalimula churna-1½ gm Guduchi Churna-1gm all together before food with hot water

3) Maha Rasnadi kashaya-20ml after food with warm water I’m sure This will definitely help you

You are experiencing neck pain, shoulder pain, lower back stiffness, and vibration sensations along your spine, along with palpitations in the head, chest, and spine. Since all your tests have come back normal, it’s unlikely to be a structural or cardiac problem. These symptoms are commonly linked to muscle tension, nerve irritation, or nervous system stress. Long-term stress, poor posture, prolonged sitting, or overuse of neck and back muscles can cause such symptoms. The vibration feeling can occur due to nerve irritation or heightened sensitivity of muscles, and palpitations may be stress-related. Often, these issues improve with gentle exercises, stress management, and supportive Ayurvedic therapy. Maintaining proper posture, gentle stretching, and strengthening back muscles are important.

Before starting treatment, please provide: Sleep quality Bowel movements Appetite Any recent emotional stress or anxiety

start with ,

Ama Pachana (first 3 days): Hingvashtak churna ½ tsp with warm water before meals Warm water with ajwain seeds 1 tsp in the morning

Internal Medicines (from day 4 onwards):

Ksheerabala taila 2 tsp orally with warm milk, twice daily Yogaraja guggulu 1 tsp with warm water after meals Ashwagandha churna ½ tsp with milk at night

External Therapy:

Abhyanga (self-massage) with Ksheerabala oil on spine, neck, and shoulders daily Warm compress on painful areas for 10–15 minutes

Diet & Food Nature: Prefer: Light, warm, cooked food; soups; whole grains; seasonal vegetables Avoid: Cold/raw food, processed food, caffeine, excess sugar Drink plenty of warm water to support digestion and circulation

Lifestyle & Exercise: Gentle yoga and stretching for spine, neck, and shoulders Avoid prolonged sitting or poor posture Short walks daily to improve circulation and reduce nerve tension Ensure 7–8 hours of sleep

Investigations & Follow-up: If symptoms persist, consider neurological evaluation or EMG for nerve function Monitor symptoms weekly and follow up after 20–25 days to assess response to Ayurvedic therapy

Warm regards & Concern: Most of these symptoms are manageable with Ayurveda and lifestyle changes Early intervention with massage, internal medicines, and posture correction can prevent chronic stiffness

Regular follow-up is important to adjust medicines and therapy based on progress

These symptoms you’re describing can be related to an imbalance in vata dosha, as it governs movement and the nervous system. When vata is aggravated, it may lead to symptoms like pain, stiffness, nervous disturbances like palpitations, and vibrations. Since your tests are clear, it’s reasonable to explore this from a dosha perspective.

First, I would suggest to pacify vata through specific diet and lifestyle adjustments. Begin with your diet: consume warm, nourishing foods that are easy to digest. Include cooked grains like rice, khichadi, and add ghee to your meals. Avoid raw, cold, and dry foods, as well as stimulants such as caffeine.

Regular self-massage with warm sesame oil can also be beneficial. This helps in calming the nervous system and alleviating muscle stiffness. Follow this with a warm bath for enhanced relaxation.

Yoga and pranayama can be effective tools. Gentle asanas such as cat-cow pose, child’s pose, and pelvic tilts can aid in gentle spinal movement. Also, deep breathing exercises like nadi shodhana can balance your energetic flows and reduce nervousness.

Ensure a consistent sleep routine. Sleep at the same time daily, aiming for a minimum of 7-8 hours. This helps in resetting your body’s natural rhythms.

Lastly, as these symptoms have persisted for two months, it remains important to continue monitoring your condition. If the symptoms intensify or new ones emerge, seeking additional medical evaluation is crucial to rule out any underlying issue not yet identified.

Thank u soo much sir

Considering the symptoms described, it seems like there might be an underlying imbalance in Vata dosha, as per Ayurvedic perspective. Vata governs movement and activities of the nervous system, and its imbalance often leads to symptoms like pain, anxiety, palpitations and nervousness.

To begin addressing this condition, focus on balancing Vata dosha. One key aspect is diet. Prioritize warm, nourishing foods; emphasize cooked rather than raw meals. Incorporate healthy fats like ghee or sesame oil, as they are grounding and lubricating. Avoid cold, dry, or overly light foods, like salads or dry grains, as they can aggravate Vata.

Herbal remedies may also assist in managing symptoms. Ashwagandha is often recommended for its anxiolytic and nervine properties. Take Ashwagandha churna (powder) with warm milk once daily, preferably at night, for its calming effects. Brahmi, another herb, could also be beneficial to support nervous system balance. A Brahmi leaf decoction or capsule can be taken in the morning.

Daily Abhyanga, or self-massage using sesame oil, can help reduce stiffness and stabilize Vata. Warm the oil slightly before use, and massage the body from head to toe then take a warm shower after 15-20 minutes to allow absorption.

Practice Pranayama, specifically Anulom Vilom or Nadi Shodhana — gentle alternate nostril breathing, for 10-15 minutes daily. This helps in calming the mind and reducing stress.

If symptoms persist despite these adjustments, or increase in severity, a consultation with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation is advisable. There could be subtle neurological implications that need attention and overseeing by specialists. Ensure stress management with meditation and regular sleep patterns to support holistic healing.

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

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

Dr. 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.

Dr. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

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. 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. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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. 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. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.
