HELLO ANUSHKA,

Cervical spondylitis is a condition where the bones and discs in your neck region (cervical spine) become stiff, inflamed, or compressed causing pain and nerve irritation.

You may feel -neck pain or stiffness -pain radiating to shoulder, arm, underarm -tingling or numbness in fingers -headache especially back of head -reduced focus, memory loss -anxiety, disturbed sleep due to chronic pain

WHT IT HAPPENS

1) POOR POSUTRE (bending neck over phone/book)= continuous strain in cervical spine

2) LONG SCREEN TIME WITHOUT NECK SUPPORT= muscle tightness, disc compression

3) LACK OF EXERCISE= weak muscles supporting spine

4) STRESS, ANXIETY= muscle tightening , nerve sensitivity

5) POOR DIGESTION= toxins buildup affecting nerves

6) VATA IMBALANCE= dryness, degeneration of joints and nerves

In Ayurveda, this is called Greeva Sandhigata vata (vata affecting the neck joints) or Vata vyadhi (disease of vata dosha)

SIGNS OF VATA IMBALANCE -dryness, cracking joints -pain that comes and goes -cold hands/feet -anxiety and overthinking -weak digestion

GOAL IN AYURVEDA, Not just to stop pain, but to correct the root imbalances, improves nerve strength , remove toxins, and bring back body balance.

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce inflammation and pain in neck and arm -strengthen neck muscles and nerves -balance vata dosha -remove toxins -calm the mind, improve memory and focus -prevent recurrence with long term lifestyle and posture changes

INTERNAL TREATMENT

1) TRAYODASHNAGA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =excellent for nerve pain, tingling, muscle weakness, especially for radiating pain in arm/shoulder

2) RASNASAPTAKAM KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water before meals for 3 months =relieves joint inflammation, stiffness, helps clear toxins

3) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tab twice daily after meals for 3 mnoths =balances vata, clears blocked channels , improves joint health

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime =natural adaptogen, strengthens nerves, reduce stress and fatigue, helps sleep

5) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily in morning and night for 2 months =improves focus, memory, calms anxiety, supports nervous system

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS

1) OIL MASSAGE= with MAHANARAYAN TAILA -warm oil massage daily =improves circulation, reduces vata, relaxes muscles

2) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril in morning for 21 days =clears toxins from head, improves focus, reduces nerve sensitivity

YOGA ASANA= start gently. No jerky movements -bhujangasana= strengthens neck and upper back -marjariasana= spinal flexibility, pain relief -matsyendrasana= opens chest, improves circulation -tadasana= posture correction -shavasana= calms nervous system

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= vata balancing, calming mind -bhramari= reduces anxiety, vibrational healing -nadi sodhana= clears energy channels, improves focus -ujjayi= builds mental focus

DIET Avid foods that are -cold, dry, stale, raw like salads, chips -too spicy, fermented or junk food -heavy dairy like curd

EAT MORE OF -warm, cooked food= easy to digest -ghee, sesame oil= lubricates joints, nourishes nerves -soups, khichdi= soothing and light -herbs like ginger, turmeric, garlic= anti inflammatory

HOME REMEDIES

1) TURMERIC MILK AT NIGHT= 1/2 tsp turmeric in warm milk

2) CASTOR OIL 1 TSP= once a week at bedtime to relieve constipation and balance vata

3)WARM SALT COMPRESS= on neck and shoulders for 10 min daily

4) STRETCHING EVERY 1 HOUR if worlking/studying long hours

5) APPLY MAHANARAYAN TAILAM before bath and massage gently

INVESTIGATIONS IF NOT DONE YET -X-RAY cervical spine -MRI cervical spine -nerve conduction study if tingling/numbness persists -Vitamin B12 and D3 -Thyroid profile

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

-use cervical pilow= keeps neck in neutral position -limit phone/laptop time= prevents forward head posture -regular sleep routine= vata balancing -daily self massage= improvs blood flow -practice mindfulnees= reduces overthinking and anxiety

You are 23. This condition is reversible with commitment. The pain you’re experiencing is your body’s signal asking you to slow down, correct imbalances, and return to a healthier lifestyle

You need -patience minimum 2-3 months for real healing -consitency with yoga, routine , medication -belief in your body’s capacity to heal

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

​Anushka, I understand your concern about the persistent pain and its impact on your daily life, including your studies and anxiety. It’s important to approach this with a holistic and safe plan

​Based on the symptoms you’ve described—neck, shoulder, and left arm pain, along with associated issues like anxiety and a decline in memory and focus—it’s possible that you’re dealing with symptoms related to cervical spondylosis. The fact that you’ve already tried allopathic medicine without success further indicates the need to explore alternative approaches.

​In Ayurveda, conditions like cervical spondylosis are often attributed to an imbalance of Vata dosha, particularly in the Mamsagata Vata (Vata affecting the muscles) and Asthigata Vata (Vata affecting the bones). The pain, stiffness, and associated neurological symptoms like tingling or numbness are classic signs of Vata imbalance. Anxiety and difficulty with memory and focus are also related to Vata’s effect on the nervous system.

​Here’s a general overview of an Ayurvedic approach, which typically includes a combination of lifestyle changes, dietary recommendations, herbal treatments, and therapeutic practices.

​1. Ayurvedic Treatment Principles: ​Vata-Pacifying Diet: ​Favor warm, cooked, and nourishing foods. ​Include healthy fats like ghee and sesame oil.
​Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods, as they can aggravate Vata.

​Use Vata-pacifying spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric in your cooking.
​Stay well-hydrated with warm water or herbal teas. ​

​Ayurvedic Therapies (Panchakarma): ​Abhyanga (Herbal Oil Massage): Regular massage with warm Vata-pacifying oils like Mahanarayana Taila or Ksheerabala Taila can help in reducing pain, stiffness, and improving circulation.

​Greeva Basti: A special therapy where a dough ring is placed on the neck, and warm medicated oil is poured into it and held for a specific duration. This is highly effective for localized pain and stiffness in the neck.

​Pinda Sweda (Bolus Fomentation): A treatment where warm herbal poultices (pindas) are used to massage the affected area. It helps in reducing pain and inflammation.

​2. Yoga and Exercise: ​Yoga can be very beneficial, but it’s crucial to practice gentle and slow movements. Avoid any poses that cause pain or strain.

​Gentle Neck Stretches: ​Neck Rotations (Griva Sanchalana): Slowly and gently move your head from side to side and up and down.

​Neck Bends: Gently bend your head towards your shoulders, one side at a time.

​Chin to Chest: Gently lower your chin towards your chest.

​Shoulder Stretches: ​Shoulder Rotations: Gently rotate your shoulders forward and backward.

​Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana) Arms: You can try the arm part of this pose to stretch the shoulders and upper back.

​Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana): This pose helps to gently warm up and mobilize the spine.

​Important Considerations: ​Posture: Maintain correct posture while sitting, standing, and sleeping. Use a firm mattress and a thin pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck.

​Breaks: Take frequent breaks from sitting or working on a computer. Do gentle stretches during these breaks.

​Stress Management: The anxiety you mentioned can exacerbate physical pain. Practice meditation, Pranayama (breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana or Anulom Vilom), and mindfulness to calm your mind and nervous system.

​ 1)Rasnadi Guugulu-2 tab. Before food with warm milk

2) Ashwagnadha Churna-2gm + Chopa Churna-1gm + maha Vatavidhwansini-125-mg + Ekangaveera Rasa-125mg + Pippalimula churna-½ gm +Gokshura churna-1 gm + Guduchi Churna-1gm - after food with ashwagnadha ghrita 10 ml 3 times

3) Sahacharadi Kashaya-15 ml + Rasna-erandadi Kashaya-15ml After food with water 2 times

4) Myostal Linement -ext. appln 2 times

Hello Anushka,

Thank you for sharing your concern. You are having cervical spondylosis–related pain (neck, shoulder, left arm, underarm), which is also leading to nerve compression, anxiety, poor focus, and memory issues. Since allopathic medicines did not give relief, Ayurveda works well here by reducing Vata aggravation and strengthening nerves, muscles, and cervical spine.

🔍 Likely cause

1.Vata vitiation (causing pain, stiffness, nerve involvement) 2.Kapha stagnation (heaviness, reduced circulation) 3.Poor posture / long study hours

💊 Internal Medicine (Ayurveda)

Phase 1 – Pain & Inflammation Relief (2 weeks)

1. Yograj Guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily after meals (Vata balancing, joint pain relief). 2. Maharasnadi kwatha – 15 ml with 30ml of warm water before meals, twice daily. 3. Ashwagandha churna – 3 g with warm milk at night (nerve strength + reduces anxiety).

Phase 2 – Nervous System & Spine Strengthening (next 2–3 months)

1. Bala-Ashwagandhadi Taila (external) – gentle warm oil massage on neck & shoulders, daily. 2. Dashmoola Kwatha – 15ml with 30 ml of warm water twice daily (balances Vata, reduces nerve irritation). 3. Brahmi vati (smriti vardhaka) – 1 tab twice daily (for memory, focus, and anxiety).

🌿 Panchakarma Therapy (very effective for cervical issues)

1. Greeva Basti – warm medicated oil pooling on the cervical area (best for pain & stiffness). 2. Nasya (Anu Taila) – 2–3 drops warm oil in nostrils daily morning (balances Vata in head/neck, improves memory). 3. Shirodhara – medicated oil poured on forehead (reduces anxiety, stress, improves focus).

🧘‍♀️ Yoga & Physiotherapy

Asanas (gentle, avoid jerks):

1. Bhujangasana (Cobra pose) – strengthens cervical spine. 2. Makarasana (Crocodile pose) – relaxes back & neck. 3. Marjariasana (Cat–cow pose) – improves flexibility of spine. 4. Setu Bandhasana (Bridge pose) – strengthens neck & shoulders.

Neck Yogasanas (do slowly):

1.Gentle neck rotations (clockwise, anti-clockwise). 2.Neck tilt (left–right, front–back). 3.Shoulder rolls.

Pranayama:

1. Anulom Vilom – 10 min. 2. Bhramari – 5 min (excellent for anxiety & focus). 3. Deep breathing – 5 min before study.

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle

Pathya (Recommended):

1.Warm food with cow’s ghee (nerve nourishment). 2.Milk + turmeric (½ tsp) at bedtime. 3.Almonds (5 soaked), walnuts (2) daily. 4.Green leafy vegetables, moong dal, black sesame seeds.

Apathya (Avoid):

1.Cold, dry, stale food. 2.Excess tea/coffee. 3.Long hours in same posture. 4.AC/fan directly on neck.

🌸 With Kind Regards

This plan will: ✅ Relieve neck–arm pain & stiffness ✅ Strengthen cervical spine & nerves ✅ Improve memory, concentration & reduce anxiety ✅ Prevent recurrence by correcting Vata imbalance

Cervical spondylitis can indeed be disruptive, but Ayurveda offers approaches that can complement your efforts. First, understanding the root based on Ayurvedic principles is crucial. Cervical spondylitis often relates to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, according to classic texts, causing stiffness, pain, and even anxiety. To begin addressing this, focus on lifestyle changes, diet modification, and some therapeutic exercises.

Incorporating certain yoga postures are beneficial. Consider practicing Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), Matsyasana (Fish Pose), and Marjariasana (Cat Pose). These poses can help alleviate stiffness, improving flexibility around the neck and shoulders. Remember to practice these with guidance, especially initially to avoid any strain or further injury. Gentle neck rotation and shoulder rolls can help maintain mobility as well.

Herbal formulations like Ashwagandha and Brahmi can be beneficial for not just physical symptoms, but they also aid in improving memory and reduce anxiety. Ashwagandha helps in reducing inflammation and supports the nervous system, whereas Brahmi is known for cognitive function and stress alleviation. Consult with a local Ayurvedic practitioner for appropriate dosages.

For diet, aim to include warm, easily digestible foods. Make use of spices like ginger and turmeric to reduce inflammation. Lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains, and hydration with warm water or herbal teas like Tulsi help to balance Vata and improve digestion. Avoiding processed, cold, and overly dry foods can also be beneficial.

Abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame oil or medicated oils designed to pacify Vata might be supportive, applied gently to the neck and shoulder area to improve circulation and reduce stiffness.

Finally, consider mindfulness or meditation practice daily to manage stress, which can indirectly affect your symptoms and mental clarity. Focus on breathing exercises such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) for calming the mind and enhancing concentration.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to seek advice from a professional healthcare provider to ensure a comprehensive treatment approach. Implement these guides and engage in consistent practice for lasting improvement.

For cervical spondylitis, integrating practices from Siddha-Ayurveda, especially focusing on lifestyle adjustments and specific treatments, can be quite effective. Let’s address the root cause by considering a few approaches that engage with your body’s doshic balance, particularly focusing on vata dosha, which often contributes to pain and discomfort.

Begin with herbal formulations. Rasna (Pluchea lanceolata) and Guggulu (Commiphora mukul) are known to alleviate joint pain and inflammation. Consider taking these in combination, ideally under guidance from a qualified practitioner who can provide exact doses. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can assist with anxiety and stress, impacting both your mental state and nervous tension.

Dietary adjustments are crucial. Focus on warm, cooked foods and avoid cold, dry, or raw items that may aggravate vata. Incorporate healthy fats like ghee and sesame oil to bring lubrication to the neck and spinal column. Maintaining a regular eating schedule supports agni, which aids digestion and overall vitality.

For yoga, gentle asanas that encourage neck flexibility and strengthen shoulder and back muscles are beneficial. Try Bhujangasana (Cobra pose) and Bharadvajasana (Seated Twist) daily, holding each posture gently without forcing the movement. Combining these with pranayama can help manage anxiety—Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) is particularly recommended.

If symptoms persist or worsen, consider a consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized treatments like Panchakarma, specifically Abhyanga (oil massage) followed by Swedana (steam therapy). These techniques help relieve tension and improve circulation.

It’s essential to ensure holistic treatment, so do not hesitate to seek further medical advice if necessary, especially if your cognitive issues or anxiety worsen. And remember, avoid any sudden or strenuous movements that could strain your neck or worsen your symptoms.

I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. 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.

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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

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. 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. Neha Saini
I am Vaidya Neha Saini and Ayurveda’s not just my work—it’s kind of like my language of healing, a thing I live by, day in and out. I did my BAMS from Shree Krishna Govt Ayurvedic College in Kurukshetra and later finished MD in Ayurveda from Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune (that place had a different kind of energy honestly). With more than five yrs of clinical experience under my belt, I’ve kinda shaped my path around treating chronic issues, long-drawn imbalances and lifestyle disorders that modern life throws at people without warning. My way of working isn’t about chasing symptoms. I try to understand what’s really going on underneath—it’s like the root cause matters more than just quieting the noise. I use classical Ayurvedic principles but I also keep an eye on modern clinical understanding, ‘cause you can’t ignore how medicine’s growing every day, right? Most of my cases come in with problems like skin conditions—psoriasis, eczema, sometimes hormonal stuff like PCOS or thyroid weirdness, joint stiffness, back pains, post-stroke situations, or nervous system setbacks that need slow but steady support. And for all that, I plan treatment around them, not some fixed protocol. Which means a mix of herbs, Panchakarma detox when needed, food tweaks, even small shifts in daily routine… all matching their prakriti and vikriti. I also do online consults 'cause a lot of folks don't always get to travel or access real Ayurveda nearby. I just feel like everyone should have a shot at natural healing, even if it's through a screen. One thing I try hard to never skip: listening. Really listening to people. Sometimes they don’t even know how to say what's wrong, but they feel it—and that matters. For me, trust is the main pillar, and treatment flows from there. Ayurveda for me isn’t a toolkit or a clinic-only thing. It’s like—how you eat, sleep, breathe, connect with seasons or stress. It’s everywhere. And everytime someone walks in confused, tired or just stuck with some health loop, my aim is to sit beside them—not ahead—and figure the way out together. Not fast fixes, but deep, steady change. That's what I show up for every single time.

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

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

Dr. Suchin M
I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

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.

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.
