Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. 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.

1 Bhringamalakadi Taila - extly apply and massage for 10 min. 2 times

2 Jeevamrita Leha or Chyavanaprasha Leha-1 tsf after food 2 times with milk

3.Shuddha Shilajatu-250mg+ Saptamrita Loha - 500mg+ bhringaraja Churna -3gm after food 2 times with honey and ghee Diet and Lifestyle Pathya: Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nutritious food, adequate sleep Apathya: Avoid salt, sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. Overconsumption of salt and sugar increases dandruff and hairloss. Avoid large amounts of vitamin A Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp.

Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry.

Hello Poornima I can understand your concern regarding your hairfall but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

You are 25 years old and have hypothyroidism this itself slows down metabolism, blood circulation, and hair follicle nourishment.

So, we need a plan that ✅ Stops ongoing hair fall ✅ Improves scalp circulation & nutrition ✅ Stimulates new follicle growth

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Bhringraj Vati – 1 tab twice daily after food (for hair growth, liver support).

2. Sarivasavam – 20 ml-0-20ml with equal water after food (cleanses blood, prevents dandruff/acne scalp).

3. Groo 1-0-1 – daily after food ( promotes hair growth)

4 Jeevamrutham 1 tsp at bed time follwed by warm water at bed time ( hair tonic)

✅EXTERNAL CARE

NEELIBHRINGADI TAILA – gentle warm oil massage on scalp 3 times a week, leave 1 hr then wash.

Use herbal shampoo with reeta or shikakai based

✅Home Remedies & Hair Packs

👉 Onion + Aloe Vera Gel (weekly 2x)

Mix 2 tsp onion juice + 2 tsp aloe vera gel, apply to scalp 30 min, wash. Improves blood flow, stimulates follicles.

👉 Fenugreek Hair Pack (weekly 1x)

Soak 2 tsp fenugreek seeds overnight, grind, apply paste to scalp 30 min. Strengthens roots, reduces hair fall.

👉 Curry Leaves + Coconut Oil

Boil curry leaves in coconut oil until black, strain, store, and apply as hair oil. Encourages new growth.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅ To Include

Black sesame seeds (1 tsp daily) Amla (fresh/juice/powder daily) Cow ghee (1 tsp/day) Warm milk with ½ tsp Ashwagandha at night Iron-rich foods (dates, spinach, jaggery)

❌ To Avoid: Junk food, packaged fried foods Excess tea, coffee Late-night sleeping Too much stress (worsens thyroid & hair fall)

✅ Lifestyle and Yoga Head massage – improves scalp circulation Pranayama – Anulom Vilom & Bhramari (10 min daily) Yoga – Sarvangasana, Matsyasana(help thyroid + hair growth) Sleep before 11 pm - deep sleep repairs hair

I know sudden hair fall & thinning is stressful — especially when linked to thyroid. But remember — this is reversible with patience.

Hair regrowth is slow, but with 3 months of consistent care you will notice new baby hairs and reduced shedding

Wish you a long strong Hair😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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.

Hair fall and thinning are commonly encountered issues enveloped in various factors, from stress to nutrition, hormonal imbalances, or hereditary elements. Analyzing your prakriti (personal constitution) and current dosha imbalances offers a tailored approach. Here are some Ayurvedic recommendations to help reduce hair fall and promote regrowth:

First things first, consider your diet. Ensure your intake includes foods that pacify Vata dosha, which might contribute to your hair issues. Load up on warm, cooked, slightly oily foods like ghee, sesame oil or nuts like almonds, cashews. Hydration is crucial; drink warm soups, herbal teas, rather than caffeinated drinks or cold beverages.

Engage in regular oil massage or abhyanga. Utilize warm oils such as bhringraj or coconut oil with a few drops of rosemary essential oil. Gently massage the scalp for 15-20 minutes thrice a week, preferably before washing your hair. Leave it in for an hour so per before rinsing, allowing the oils to penetrate and nourish.

Incorporate herbs known for hair health. Brahmi, Amalaki, and Shatavari. You can make a paste of amla powder with water, Apply it as a mask to your scalp once a week. Ayurvedic practitioners often recommend consuming Triphala or Brahmi for internal detoxification and balance.

Reconnect with nature by optimizing your sleep patterns and reducing stress. Practice mindfulness through meditation or yoga to prevent potential stress-induced hair fall. Early sleeping patterns with pranayama in th morning can enhance vital ojas, reducing stress.

Lastly, make sure you’re not overlooking potential underlying health concerns like thyroid issues or anemia, which can exacerbate hair fall. If unsure, it might be worthwhile to consult an ayurvedic practitioner for personalized assessment.

Remember, results may take time, consistency, and patience is key here. Take a gradual approach to use these natural enablers for better hair health.

To address hair fall and promote regrowth, let’s focus on understanding your current condition and balancing your body’s energies based on Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. It sounds like there’s an imbalance involving your doshas, likely affecting the vata and pitta, which could be causing stress, poor nutrition, or a disturbed lifestyle.

First, examine your diet. Ensure it’s rich in nourishing foods that support hair health. Include plenty of amla (Indian gooseberry), sesame seeds, fenugreek, and leafy greens. Omega-3 fatty acids from sources like flaxseeds or ghee can help modulate vata. Avoid excessive spicy and fried foods as they can increase pitta and contribute to hair problems.

Scalp massage with oils infused with bhringraj or neem is beneficial. Warm a suitable oil—like coconut or sesame—and massage it into your scalp twice a week. This can enhance blood circulation, strengthen roots, and calm the mind, reducing stress which often exaggerates hair fall.

Monitor your digestion. A poor digestive fire, or agni, leads to the accumulation of toxins, which may affect hair health. Incorporate trikatu or triphala supplements under supervision to support digestion and cleanse the body.

Consider using herbal hair masks. Paste made from hibiscus flowers or methi (fenugreek) seeds can provide essential nutrients, promoting hair luster and strength.

Stay hydrated and ensure adequate sleep and stress management techniques, such as yoga or meditation, as stress is often a catalyst for hair issues. If hair loss continues at an alarming rate, consult a healthcare professional for personalized insight and necessary interventions.

I am a doctor who completed CCH and CGO from Wadia hospital, and that training gave me exposure not just in theory but also in handling patients with very diverse needs. Over time I have treated many cases of chronic skin conditions, gut related disorders and also anorectal issues like piles, fissure and similar complaints. Each case felt different, no two patients respond the same way, and I learnt how to adapt treatment according to prakriti, diet habits, stress levels. Skin problems always catch attention first — psoriasis, eczema, acne that stays for years — but I understood that they often start from inside, from digestion or blood impurities. Gut issues like acidity, constipation, IBS are also common in my practice, and here small corrections in food timing or herbs can change a lot. Anorectal cases, especially piles and fissure, are painful both physically and mentally for patients, so I try to bring a treatment plan that is safe, non-invasive when possible, and focused on long term relief not just temporary fixes. Working with such variety of disorders also taught me patience. Some patients want fast results, but Ayurveda needs time to clean the root cause. I explain them carefully, sometimes repeating many times, that slow healing is stronger healing. Building that trust is important. My approach is always to combine herbal formulations, diet advice, and lifestyle correction with procedures when required, to ensure balance is restored and maintained. For me, Ayurveda is not a set of ready remedies but a flexible science that adapts to each person. Whether it’s skin, gut or anorectal problems, my focus stays on listening, understanding and guiding patients with clarity, honesty and steady support.

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. 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. 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. Sonia Shatrughna Gawali
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic medical professional who kind of grew through different corners of the field—clinical practice, research work, and even that slightly hectic corporate healthcare space. Sometimes I look back and think the journey moved faster than I planned, but each phase pushed me to understand Ayurveda in a more grounded, real-life way. My Compulsory Rotatory Internship (BAMS) from March 2023 to April 2024 gave me the first real hands-on exposure. Long rounds in OPD/IPD, taking patient histories, figuring out diagnoses based on Ayurvedic principles, assisting in Panchakarma… a lot of running around honestly. I learnt how small symptoms change the whole picture, even when I was still fixing my handwriting on case sheets or mixing a comma somewhere in documentation. That period built the base of my patient-centered care, even if I doubted a few choices here and there while learning. From July 2024 to March 2025, at Research Ayu Company, I moved into a very different space—literature review, formulation understanding, collecting data, and supporting evidence-based validation of Ayurvedic concepts. Sometimes reading the same paragraph twice because I thought I missed a tiny point, but that analytical side helped me understand Ayurveda beyond the opd desk. It made me appreciate how classical texts connect with modern research, even if I accidentally typed a few weird spellings in the reports!! Then at Jyovis Ltd (July 2025 to December 2025), I stepped into corporate healthcare. Documentation, clinical advisory roles, program coordination, and talking to multiple teams in one day… a bit chaotic at times. But that role sharpened my communication and showed me how healthcare operations actually run behind the scenes. I learnt how patient engagement strategies work practically, not just as a line in a training module. Now I am working as a Consulting Doctor, focusing fully on Ayurvedic consultation and holistic wellness. My routine includes detailed patient assessments, personalized treatments, lifestyle and diet counselling, and ongoing monitoring of outcomes. Some days I pause mid-sentence to re-think a plan because a patient mentions something small but important. I try to keep the approach clear, ethical and evidence-informed, even if my thoughts wander for a second while typing fast. My aim stays simple—to blend classical Ayurvedic wisdom with practical, patient-friendly care that actually fits into someone’s daily life, not just the textbook version of health.

Dr. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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. 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. Manu H S
I am a doctor with hands on experience in managing skin disorders, spinal problems and long standing joint conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Over the years I have worked with many patients who come with daily pain, stiffness, nerve related discomfort and skin issues that slowly affect their routine. My focus stays on understanding how these problems develop over time, not just treating the surface symptoms. I spend a lot of time looking at posture, movement patterns, daily habits and how the body reacts to stress and workload. Many cases involve back pain, neck stiffness, joint swelling or chronic skin concerns, and each one behaves little different. Sometimes improvement is quick, sometimes it takes patience, but I try to guide the process carefully. I believe treatment should be practical and realistic, not rushed. I pay close attention to history, lifestyle and body response before deciding next steps. Over time this approach has helped me manage long term conditions in a steady way, even when progress feels slow or uneven.

Dr. Sneha
I am currently working in Pondicherry at Hari Ashtanga Ayurveda Chikitsalaya, where I spend most of my days involved in ayurvedic clinical practice and patient care. My work is mainly focused on applying classical Ayurveda principles in a very practical way, not just theory but what actually helps people in daily life. I also study continuously alongside my work, which honestly can feel tiring some days, yet it keeps my understanding grounded and evolving. I am also actively giving consultation for yoga, diet, and nutrition, especially for patients who are looking for a more holistic and long-term approach to health. My interest lies in connecting Ayurveda with yogic lifestyle guidance and personalized nutrition plans, rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice. Sometimes I pause and rethink a recommendation, because every body reacts differntly, and that matters. My consultations usually focus on digestion, daily routine, food habits, and gentle yoga practices that supports overall balance, not quick fixes. I am trying to build a practice that feels honest and approachable, while still being rooted in traditional ayurvedic knowledge. Patient interaction teaches me as much as books do, maybe more on certain days. I believe health improves when treatment, diet, and movement are aligned, even if progress feels slow or uneven at times. I work closely with patients, listen carefully, and adjust guidance when needed, though I admit I am still learning every single day!! This mix of Ayurveda, yoga consultation, and diet & nutrition counseling defines my current professional path, and I continue to grow within it, step by step, sometimes messy, but sincere.

Dr. Prashant Pandav
I am an Ayurvedic Sexologist and Anorectal Surgeon with 18 yrs of experience — yeah that’s quite a ride when I think back. And honestly, these are two areas where patients usually wait too long before seeking help. Either they feel awkward, or they’ve been told it’s nothing, or they’ve tried 5 other things before they land in my clinic. I get that. Which is why I try to make it super easy to talk, no judgements, just straight talk and honest care. In sexual health, I deal with issues like early ejaculation, low libido, erectile challenges, and also female-related problems like painful intercourse or low desire post childbirth or menopause. A lot of these things ppl don’t even bring up unless you really create a space that feels safe. I don’t rush those consults — sometimes it takes a few minutes just to get to the *real* problem, y’know? And that’s okay. On the anorectal side, I focus on conditions like piles, fissure, fistula, and even rectal abscess — many of which ppl suffer with silently for *years*. The pain, bleeding, itching — they just live with it thinking it’ll go away. I use a mix of Ayurvedic parasurgical techniques like Ksharasutra, plus lifestyle guidance and gut correction. It’s not just about removing the issue. I also focus on stopping it from coming back again and again (which it often does if the root’s not treated). What 18 years gave me — more than anything — is pattern recognition. I see small signs and know where it’s headed. Doesn’t mean I get it right 100% but yea.. I trust my clinical eye a lot now. I’ve treated teenagers with hormonal imbalances and elderly men with long-term prostatte issues. Some recover fast, some take time, some just want someone to finally *listen* without giving weird advice. This work’s private, sensitive and kinda misunderstood too. But for me, it’s about showing up fully — whether it’s a minor pile or a deep-rooted sexual problem. Every case matters. Every body deserve comfort & clarity. That’s what I’m here for.
