Dr. Shaily Rathore
I am Dr. Shaily Rathore and my whole thing with Ayurveda started from a really personal space where I felt modern life was like... too fast, too noisy, and kinda disconnecting us from ourselves. I mean, there's this crazy ancient wisdom just sitting there in texts like Charak Samhita n Sushrut Samhita—and honestly, every time I read through them, there's always something new I hadn’t noticed before. Those classics don't just talk about herbs n diseases, they talk about how your lifestyle, emotions, food, sleep, all of it connects. That idea of balance? Not just between doshas like Vata Pitta Kapha, but also in how we think, live, even how we breathe. I mainly work with people who wanna heal without jumping straight into heavy meds. Like ya, if your condition allows it, I’ll def choose dinacharya tweaks or basic food corrections before writing up a full medicine plan. I’ve seen in many cases, your body can bounce back when you just give it the right rhythm again. I pay close attntion to small patterns — like when ppl say they’re just tired “all the time” or can’t digest food even though reports look fine. These tiny clues matter. I also make Ayurvedic content online—in Hinglish, btw—'cause honestly I feel ppl listen more when you talk their language. Nothing too textbooky. It's more like “let’s chat about your gut issues over kadha,” y'know? There’s way too much info out there, but not all of it makes sense to the average person. I like keeping it real, simple, and actually do-able. Whether you’re lookin’ to figure out why your skin’s always reacting, or how to manage stress without burning out, or just curious how to live more sattvic—I’ll be there. I’m not the kind to rush into pills n powders. But I also won’t sit back if deeper intervention’s needed. Each person’s body tells a diff story, and honestly I just wanna help you read yours better.

First of all , I would suggest you to go for tests for clarifications .

Meanwhile you can take aloe vera juice 2 tablespoon with water or kumariasav with equal parts of water. Before 1 week of your date , take raja pravartini vati 2 tablets TDS Practice butterfly exercise and ardhchakrasana. See if you have sedentary lifestyle. Walking and completing a definite number of steps is suggested.

Avoid fried , packaged and oily food . Stay happy and practice meditation if possible

Dr. Sumi. S
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with specialized expertise in Shalakya Tantra, focusing on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the Netra (eyes), Karna (ears), Nasa (nose), Mukha (oral cavity), Danta (teeth), and Shira (head and ENT region). My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Hello sapna,

Thank you for explaining your condition. As you are having Irregular periods since menarche. Periods occur only with medications for last 2 years.Associated complaint: persistent white discharge (leucorrhea) on non-period days.

Likely Nidana: Artava-dushti due to Apana Vata vitiation + Kapha aggravation (leading to Shveta-pradara) + Agni weakness.

Possible involvement: Hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis imbalance rather than PCOS.

🔍 Recommended Investigations

1. Hormonal profile: LH, FSH, Estradiol, Progesterone, Prolactin, TSH. 2. Pelvic Ultrasound: uterus, ovarian status, endometrium thickness. 3. CBC, Hb%: to rule out anemia. 4. Blood sugar (FBS/PP), Insulin resistance markers. 5. Vitamin D & B12.

💊 Internal Medicine

Phase 1 – Āma-pācana & Agni dīpana (2 weeks)

1. Trikatu churna – 1 g with warm water after meals, twice daily. 2. Gudūci kwatha – 40 ml before meals, twice daily.

Phase 2 – Artava-pravartaka & Stambhana (next 4 weeks)

1. Kumaryāsava – 15 ml + equal water, twice daily after food. 2. Ashokarishta – 15 ml + equal water, twice daily after food. 3. Pushyanuga churna – 3 g with rice water, twice daily (for white discharge). 4. Chandraprabha vati – 2 tabs, twice daily after meals (urinary–genital support).

🌿 External Support

Yoni prakshalana (vaginal wash): Triphala decoction once daily for white discharge.

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle

Pathya (Recommended):

1.Warm, light, easy-to-digest meals. 2.Black sesame seeds + jaggery (1 tsp daily). 3.Soaked raisins (5–10 daily). 4.Leafy greens, beets, pomegranate. 5.Cow’s ghee (½ tsp daily).

Apathya (Avoid):

1.Cold, heavy, oily food. 2.Excess curd, cheese, bakery, fried food. 3.Excess tea, coffee. 4.Daytime sleep (increases Kapha & discharge).

🧘‍♀️ Yoga & Lifestyle

1.Asanas: Baddha Konasana, Malasana, Bhujangasana, Dhanurasana. 2.Pranayama: Anulom Vilom (10 min twice daily). 3.Maintain regular sleep cycle. 4.Manage stress – journaling, meditation, or chanting.

HELLO SAPNA ,

I understand your concern. You are 22 and have been experiencing irregular periods since they started. It can be frustrating when periods come only after taking medication, and naturally, you want your body to work on its own.

Even though you are not overweight and don’t have other hormonal symptoms like facial hair, acne, or major hair fall, your irregular periods along with white discharge suggest that your body’s digestive and hormonal balance might be slightly disturbed. In Ayurveda, this can be related to Vata and Kapha imbalance, sometimes combined with Ama (undigested metabolic waste), which can interfere with normal menstrual cycles.

White discharge (leucorrhea) often indicates slight Kapha imbalance in the reproductive system. This is usually manageable with proper internal cleansing, strengthening digestion, and restoring hormonal balance.

The goal of treatment will be:

Amapachana – gently clearing any metabolic toxins. Hormonal support naturally – to help your periods come without external pills. Strengthening reproductive tissues – so the uterus and ovaries function normally. Managing white discharge – to reduce discomfort and maintain vaginal health.

MEDICATIONS :

Amapachana: Take Triphala Churna 3g with warm water twice a day before meals for 3–5 days. This helps cleanse your digestive system and prepares your body for hormonal balance. Internal medicine: After 4–5 days, start Chandraprabha Vati 2 tablets twice daily with warm water. This helps regulate menstrual cycles and supports reproductive health.

External care: Sitz baths with Guduchi or Triphala decoction for 10–15 minutes 2–3 times a week can reduce white discharge and strengthen local tissues.

Diet & lifestyle suggestions:

Eat warm, light, and easy-to-digest meals. Avoid raw, cold foods and heavy oily items. Include green vegetables, warm soups, and whole grains. Drink plenty of warm water and herbal teas like coriander or fennel tea. Avoid excessive sugar and processed foods. Maintain moderate exercise like walking or yoga to balance Vata and Kapha.

Investigations to consider: Hormonal profile: FSH, LH, TSH, prolactin Ultrasound of pelvis if not done recently, to check uterus and ovaries Vaginal swab if white discharge persists or smells unpleasant

Before starting treatment: Please let me know about your bowel movements, urination, sleep, and appetite, as these guide dosage and duration of medicine.

With consistent following of this plan, you can expect your periods to gradually become more regular without external pills, and the white discharge should reduce over time. The key is consistency and patience.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

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.

HELLO SAPNA,

You’ve had irregular periods since your periods began, which means your menstrual cycle has never stabilised naturally. Youve been prescribed 21- day hormonal pills by doctors, but when you stopped, periods stopped again. That suggests your body is not producing or regulating hormones on its own, and is dependent on external hormones (the pills) to trigger menstruation

You also mention -normal weight 48 kg, which is fine -no facial hair, acne or hairfall so PCOS- likely symptoms are not visible -no thyroid or chronic illness

SO what’s going on?

Irregular periods are called “Aartava vyapad” or “Anartava”. if absent altogether

This condition is primarily caused by

1) APANA VATA IMBALANCE Apana vata is the sub-type of vata dosha that controls menstruation, urination, and bowel movement. when it is disturbed due to stress, wrong diet, cold lifestyle, or weakness in reproductive tissues, periods become irregular or absent

2) WEAK RASA AND ARTAVA DHATU -Your rasa dhatu (plasma/nutritional fluid) and Artava dhatu (female reproductice tissue) may be underdeveloped or not nourished well, leading to weak menstrual cycles.

3) PITTA INVOLVEMENT (white discharge) -White discharge called Shweta pradara is often linked to pitta-kapha disturbance, poor vaginal immunity, and internal heat or infection

TREATMENT GOAL The treatment is not just to trigger periods temprorarily but to -correct the internal hormonal balance -strengthen apana vata and uterus -build artava dhatu female reproductive system -balance pitta to stop white discharge -rejuvenate the entire menstrual system of natural, regular periods

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with warm water after meals twice daily for 3 months =regulates menstrual cycle, balances hormones, tones uterus

2) SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for 3 months =nourishes reproductive tissues , improves hormonal health

3) PUSHYANUG CHURNA= 2 gm with rice water twice daily after meals for 3 months =controls excessive white discharge, tones uterus

4) RAJAHPRAVARTINI VATI= 1 tabs twice daily only for 5-7 days around periods time (use only when cycle is overdue) =uterine stimulant taken for 5-7 days around expected period of delayed

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3months =balances urinary and reproductive systems, helpful in white discharge

YOGA ASANA These practices enhances blood flow to reproductive organs and balance hormonal glands -supta baddha konuşana -bhujangasana -apanasana -paschimottanasana -malasana

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones -bhramari= calms mind and nervous system -sheetali= reduces vaginal heat/discharge

DIET -warm, cooked, nourishing foods -ghee, sesame oil, milk, dates,almonds -moong dal, rice, boiled vegetables -herbal teas= cumin, coriander, fennel -jaggery with sesame

AVOID -cold drinks, ice creams -dry, spicy, fried food -white sugar, processed foods -excess tea/coffee -skipping meals or eating late at night

HOME REMEDIES

1) SESAME + JAGGERY BALLS(LADDO) -take 1 daily in winter or before periods =stimulates periods and builds strength

2) FENUGREEK WATER -soak 1 tsp seeds overnight, boil in morning, sip warm =helps with hormonal balance and white discharge

3)ALOE VERA+ SHATAVARI -mix 1 tsp gel with 1 tsp powder -take in morning on empty stomach =supports menstrual regularity

INVESTIGATIONS ADVISED Even if symptoms are mild, some basic test is necessary -pelvic ultrasound -thyroid profile -serum prolactin -LH/FSH hormonal test -vitamin D and B12

-Your condition is treatable naturally, but needs consistent, holistic approach -Ayurvedic treatment works slow but deep- aim for 3-6 months -Avoid relying on hormone pills - they only mask the symptoms -focus on balancing body + mind, not just triggering periods

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

In Ayurveda, irregular periods can stem from an imbalance in your doshas, primarily the Vata dosha, which governs movement in the body. The disrupted cycle you’re experiencing may relate to stress, poor digestion or nutritional deficiencies. Let’s explore some personalized approaches you might try to regulate your menstrual cycle naturally.

First, focus on balancing Vata with a consistent daily routine. Try to sleep and wake up at the same times each day, aiming for at least 7-8 hours of good quality sleep. This consistency can help stabilize your body’s natural rhythms. Practicing yoga and meditation can also be beneficial in calming the mind and reducing stress levels.

Diet plays a crucial role in regulating menstrual cycles. Incorporate more warm, cooked foods into your diet, including whole grains such as brown rice or oats and warm beverages like herbal teas (ginger tea can be particularly soothing). Ensure that you’re getting enough healthy fats—ghee, sesame oil, or flaxseeds can be helpful for grounding Vata.

Herbal remedies may offer additional support in regulating your cycle. Ashwagandha and Shatavari are two potent herbs, known for their endocrine-supporting properties. Ashwagandha can reduce stress and improve energy, while Shatavari is often recommended for its cooling and restorative properties. You can consume these herbs in powdered form with warm milk, taken either in the morning or before bedtime.

Addressing white discharge, consider the possibility of excess Kapha or underlying imbalances in the reproductive system. Trikatu, a combination of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper, can improve digestion and may help with excess discharge. Take it in small amounts with honey or warm water.

It’s key to maintain adequate hydration — drink warm water throughout the day, but avoid excessive cold foods/drinks, which can disturb Vata dosha. Regular exercise, avoiding excessively intense workouts, helps balance hormones without exacerbating stress levels. Remember, while these recommendations may support your condition, it’s essential to consult a professional Ayurvedic practitioner for a tailored treatment based on your unique constitution.

Regulating irregular periods often involves addressing underlying imbalances in the body, and Siddha-Ayurveda can provide some insights and approaches worth considering. Your current symptoms suggest an imbalance possibly related to vata dosha, as it regulates movement within the body, including the menstrual cycle.

Firstly, focus on stabilizing your daily routine to align with natural rhythms. Eat warm, cooked meals at regular times to help balance vata. Meals like khichadi, which consist of rice and mung dal, are easy on digestion and can be nourishing for your agni—your digestive fire. Try to avoid raw, cold, or drying foods, which might aggravate vata leading to irregular periods.

Herbs can also play a key role in balancing your system. Shatavari is known to support the female reproductive system. You could take it in powder form—mix a teaspoon in a glass of warm milk daily. Ashoka is another herb that can promote healthy menstruation rhythms. Be cautious, though, and use these remedies under the supervision of an Ayurvedic practitioner, especially if you have ongoing medical treatments.

Lifestyle adjustments are vital too. Practicing yoga daily, especially sequences targeting the pelvis like Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose), can improve circulation and alleviate tension in that area. Reducing stress via meditation or pranayama could calm vata disturbances.

The issue of white discharge might indicate excess kapha or even infections sometimes, so it might be useful to consult with a professional to ensure there isn’t any infection that needs medical intervention. However, drinking warm water with ginger, which is warming and detoxifying, could gently remove excess kapha.

Finally, despite the alternative approaches, if the condition remains persistent or leads to further complications, continuously consult with a healthcare provider to understand the full scope of your condition and the best ways to address it. Balancing Ayurveda and conventional medicine often produces the best outcomes.

HELLO SAPNA,

Thank you for sharing such detailed information From what you have described, you have chronic irregular periods oligomenorrhoea/amenorrhea since monarch, without typical PCOS features no weight gain, no excess hair, no acne, You also mention persistent white discharge (leucorrhea)

POSSIBLE AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING -Apana vata imbalance controls menstruation and downward flow -kapha aggravation leading to obstruction white discharge, delayed flow -digestive fire weakness-> poor dhatu formation, especially rasa and rakta dhatu, affecting menstruation

1) DIET AND LIFESTYLE -Favour warm, light, easily digestible food= moong dal, vegetables soups, ghee in small amounts -Avoid cold, heavy, oily, junk food, excess dairy -Take regular meals and avoid fasting/starving -Practice stress management - yoga, pranayam, meditation

2) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

-ASHOKARISHTA= 2 tsp with equal water after meals twice daily

-KUMRYASAVA= 2 tsp with equal water twice daily after meals

-SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime

-RAJAH PRAVARTINI VATI= 1 tab 7 days before expected date twice after meals

3) PANCHAKARM- IF FEASIBLE ADVISED -Basti therapy= best for apana vata regulation -Uttarbasti

4) FOR WHITE DISCHARGE -Chandraprabha vati= 1 tab twice daily with lukewarm water

-sitz bath with triphala decoction for local cleansing

DAILY ROUTINE SUGGESTION -morning= warm water with a pinch of ginger

-Exercise/yoga= gentle yoga, especially baddha konasana , bhujangasana, setu bandhasana

-Sleep= adequate rest, avoid late nights

THANK YOU

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

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Manasi Gandhi
I am practicing Ayurveda on my own for around 20 years now and honestly, it’s hard to sum up what that feels like in just a line or two. Over these years, I’ve seen health problems change with time — lifestyle disorders becoming more common, stress showing up in ways people don’t even notice until it’s too late, and seasonal illnesses behaving a bit differently than before. My work is all about looking at the root of the problem, not just the part that’s hurting right now. Sometimes that means working with herbal formulations, sometimes with Panchakarma therapies, sometimes just changing how someone eats or sleeps. I’ve treated a mix of acute issues like fever, colds, stomach upsets, and chronic ones like arthritis, diabetes, skin diseases, and digestive troubles. Women’s health has also been a steady part of my practice, whether it’s menstrual irregularities, PCOD, or post-natal care. And I make time for children’s wellness too, especially through immunity-building practices like Suvarnaprashan. I guess what keeps me going is knowing that Ayurveda gives me so many tools to work with — it’s never just one formula for everyone. I like spending time understanding a person’s lifestyle, diet, and emotional state because without that, the treatment feels incomplete. Over two decades, I’ve learned that small, consistent changes can be more powerful than any single “big” remedy, and that’s something I always try to pass on to my patients!!

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. 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. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

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.

Dr. Vinayak Kamble
I am about 1 year into my practice journey n honestly that feels both small n big at the same time. When I first started, I wasn’t sure how quickly I could adjust from academic space into real clinical care, but gradually with each patient I learnt something more. My main focus is on pain management—conditions like knee joint pain, sciatica, lumbar back ache, spondylitis, tennis elbow, golfer elbow, frozen shoulder, heel pain etc. I try to combine careful diagnosis with treatments rooted in Ayurveda yet explained in practical way so patients don’t feel lost. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes quick, but always there is learning in it. During this year I also kept my dedication toward research and evidence-based approach. I worked on presenting ideas and papers in academic forums whenever I got chance, and even managed to publish in journals that value Ayurveda in modern context. That gave me confidence that my small contributions can add to bigger discussions in medical field. In my postgraduate study I had finished Medicine with top score in my batch, which felt rewarding but also left me with responsibility to keep proving that I deserve that position. Honestly, academic achievements are good but real test is when someone walks in pain and goes back with relief, even if just partial at first. Sometimes patients expect instant cure, n that is where I try to keep balance—explaining how pain relief in conditions like frozen shoulder or spondylitis may take staged approach, while also keeping them hopeful. Ayurveda gives a framework but patient trust makes the treatment effective. One year is not a long time but it has been enough to show me the value of consistency, clarity and listening more than talking. My aim is not just treating pain but helping people understand their body better, manage lifestyle triggers, and feel supported in the journey of healing!!

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.

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. 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.
