DON’T WORRY ANSHIKA,

*Ayurveda believes anxiety and stress arise from an imbalance in the body’s energies, or doshas, particularly Vata.

*Vata is associated with movement and can lead to restlessness and emotional instability when out of balance.

*Dietary changes can help balance Vata. Incorporate warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest, along with grounding foods like whole grains, root vegetables, nuts, and seeds.

*Avoid processed foods, excess sugar, and stimulants like caffeine,which can aggravate Vata and increase anxiety.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

1.Maintain a consistent daily routine, including waking up early, eating meals at regular times, and going to bed early to regulate the body’s internal clock and reduce stress.

2.Ensure 7-8 hours of quality sleep by establishing a relaxing bedtime routine and avoiding screens before bed.

3.Regular exercise, like yoga or light walks, helps reduce accumulated stress and promotes emotional well-being.

4.Practice Yoga.Yoga postures like Child’s Pose (Balasana), Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana), and Corpse Pose (Shavasana) can help release tension and calm the mind. Pranayama techniques like Alternate Nostril Breathing (Anulom Vilom) and Bee Breath (Bhramari) are also beneficial for reducing anxiety.

5.Be fully present during meals, savoring each bite and avoiding distractions, to improve digestion and overall satisfaction.

6. Reduce exposure to electronic devices, especially before bedtime, to promote mental peace.

7. Spend time in natural surroundings to reduce stress levels and cultivate gratitude.

And start taking these medications,

1.Saraswatarishta 20ml with equal amount of Lukewarm water just after having meal twice in a day. 2.Manasmitragullika 1-1-1 3.Ashwagandha choorna 1tsf with lukewarm milk twice in a day. 4.Brahmi ghrita 1tsf with lukewarm milk at bed time only.

*Daily Massage your scalp with BRAHMI OIL and full body with sesame oil or Ashwagandha oil.

Follow up after 1 month.

If you have any doubt, feel free to ask.

TAKE CARE😊

Kind Regards, DR.ISHA ASHOK BHARDWAJ

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

​Feeling the physical and mental effects of anxiety and overthinking is incredibly difficult. It’s important to acknowledge what you’re going through and to be gentle with yourself. The symptoms you describe—sensations in your hands and feet, heart palpitations, and difficulty sleeping—are very common manifestations of anxiety, here are some strategies and remedies that may help you cultivate a more positive mindset and manage these symptoms:

​1. Address the Physical Symptoms ​The physical symptoms of anxiety can create a feedback loop, where the physical sensations heighten your mental distress. Breaking this cycle is key. ​Breathing Exercises: Deep, slow breathing can activate your body’s relaxation response. Try this simple technique:
​Find a comfortable, quiet place to sit or lie down.
​Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose for a count of four. ​Hold your breath for a count of four. ​Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six. ​Repeat this for a few minutes whenever you feel palpitations or sensations in your hands and feet.

​Mindful Movement: Gentle exercise can help release built-up tension and anxiety. Activities like yoga, tai chi, or a simple walk in nature can be very effective. Focus on the feeling of your feet on the ground, the wind on your skin, or the muscles stretching. This helps to ground you in the present moment.
​Progressive Muscle Relaxation: This technique involves tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups throughout your body. It can help you become more aware of physical tension and learn to release it. You can find guided exercises for this online.

​2. Challenge Negative Thoughts (Cognitive Strategies) ​Overthinking and negative thought patterns are at the core of anxiety. Learning to observe and reframe these thoughts is a powerful tool. ​Mindfulness and Observation: The goal is not to stop thinking, but to observe your thoughts without judgment. When a negative thought arises, try to label it instead of getting swept away by it. For example, you might say to yourself, “I’m having the thought that ‘I’m not good enough.’” This creates a small amount of distance between you and the thought. ​The 3 C’s Technique: ​Catch: Catch the negative thought when it happens. ​Challenge: Ask yourself if the thought is 100% true. What evidence do you have for and against it? Are there other possible explanations? ​Change: Reframe the thought into a more balanced or positive one. For example, instead of “I’m a failure,” try “I’m facing a difficult challenge, but I’ve overcome things before.”

​Gratitude Journaling: Make it a daily habit to write down at least three things you are grateful for. They can be small things, like a warm cup of tea, a sunny day, or a kind word from a friend. This practice trains your brain to look for the good in your life, shifting your focus away from negativity.

​3. Improve Your Sleep Hygiene ​Poor sleep and anxiety are deeply interconnected. Creating a routine that promotes better sleep can significantly reduce your anxiety levels. ​Establish a Bedtime Routine: Go to bed and wake up at roughly the same time each day, even on weekends. ​Create a Relaxing Environment: Make your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool. ​Avoid Screens: The blue light from phones, tablets, and computers can disrupt your sleep. Try to avoid them for at least an hour before bed. Read a book, listen to calming music, or do a guided meditation instead. ​Limit Stimulants: Reduce your intake of caffeine and alcohol, especially in the afternoon and evening.

​4. Lifestyle Adjustments ​Balanced Diet: Your gut health and mental health are connected. Eating a nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help. Avoid processed foods and excessive sugar, which can cause blood sugar spikes and crashes that mimic anxiety symptoms.

​Social Connection: Spend time with people who make you feel good and supported. Social connection is a powerful antidote to loneliness and can provide a new perspective.

​Engage in Hobbies: Reconnect with activities you enjoy. Whether it’s painting, gardening, listening to music, or playing a sport, engaging in a hobby can be a form of creative expression and a much-needed distraction from your worries.

​Limit News and Social Media: The constant stream of negative news and curated perfect lives on social media can fuel anxiety. Consider taking a break or limiting your consumption.

Treatment 1) sarasvatarishta -10 ml after food with water 2 times after food

2) tab smriti sagar rasa -1 tab 2 times after food

HELLO ANSHIKA,

You’re facing excessive overthinking, negative thoughts, constant worry, and difficulty sleeping, which also leads to body symptoms like tingling in hands/feet and heart palpitations. This is a mind- body imbalance

In Ayurveda This condition is called Chittodvega (anxious, disturbed mind) and is caused by an imbalance in Vata dosha, especially a subtype called Prana Vata, which governs the brain, heart, breath, and nervous system

Due to stress, irregular lifestyle, poor diet, or emotional overload, vata becomes aggravated, leading to -racing thoughts -fear and insecurity -sleeplessness -dryness, fatigue -palpitations, cold extremities When Vata goes out of control, it affects both Sharira (body) and Manas (mind)

TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata dosha= main root of anxiety and overthinking -nourish the mind and nervous system= calm mental activity and stop negative thought loops -improve sleep quality= reset natural body rhythms -stabilize heart and nerve response= reduce palpitations, tingling sensations -build Ojas (mental-physical immunity)= improve mental strength and positivity

INTERNALLY TAKE

1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily in morning and night for 3 months =adaptoges , reduces stress , improves sleep and energy

2) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =calms the mind, improves memory and focus

3) MANASMITRA VATAKAM= 1 tab at night with warm milk for 21 days =supports mental balance, reduces severe anxity

4) SHANKHAPUSHPI SYRUP= 2 tsp with water twice daily after meals for 3 months =for excessive thoughts and forgetfullness

5) TAGARA CAPSULES= 500mg at night for 2 months =improves sleep, relieves mental restlessness

EXTERNAL THERAPY

1) SELF OIL MASSAGE= WITH WARM SESAME OIL =balances vata, calms nerves, improves circulation 2-3 times/week followed by hot water bath

2) HEAD MASSAGE= WITH JATAMANSI OIL =nighttime ritual, 10 min massage daily

3) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning =clears mental fog, improves focus

LIFESTYLE CHANGES Vata dosha that needs stability, warmth, and rhythm

DO -wake and sleep at regular time -spend time in warm, calm, quite environments -take breaks from screens, news, overstimulation -journal thoughts before sleeping

AVOID -fasting/skipping meals -cold drinks or dry/crunchy snacks -sleeping late -overuse of social media/news feeds

YOGA ASANAS choose slow, grounding pose that calm vata -balasana -paschimottanasana -viparita karani -sukhasana+spinal twist

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances right-left brain, calms system -bhramari= vibrations soothe mental noise -sheetali= cools mind and body

DIET Food is medicine in Ayurveda. Eat in a way that calms your system

EAT -warm, moist, oily, well cooked foods -khichdi , moong dal soup, ghee, root vegetables -milk with a pinch of nutmeg at night for sleep -spices= cumin, ajwain, ginger, turmeric -herbal teas= chamomile, tulsi, brahmi, fennel

AVOID -cold or leftover food -coffee, energy drinks -dry snacks chips, popcorn -excess sugar or white bread -fermented, sour foods in excess

HOME REMEDIES

1) SLEEP MILK DRINK Boil 1 cup milk with -1 pinch of nutmeg -1/2 tsp brahmi powder or crushed leaves -1 tsp ghee Drink warm before sleep

2) SESAME OIL FOOT MASSAGE Before bed, apply warm sesame oil to your feet. It grounds vata and helps with sleep

3) TULSI TEA -boil tulsi leaves with cardamom and sip during the day to reduce mental fog

MANTRA AND POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS -Chanting “Om shanti shanti shanti” brings peace. -Daily affirmations= “I am calm and in control” and "My mind is my friend " Repeat thrice in morning and night

ANSHIKA, what you are going through is a Vata imbalance of the mind, which can absolutely be healed with consistent self-care, support, and lifestyle adjustments. Ayurveda doesn’t just treat symptoms- it treats you as a whole person.

REMEMBER -you are not your thoughts -The mind is like a river- it will flow, but you can learn to sit on the bank and watch it, not drown in it. -with Ayurveda, patience and self-love, healing will be faster.

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Anshika this is very early to have such anxiety issues. Follow Natural Remedies for Anxiety & Negative Thoughts

1. Breathing & Relaxation

4-7-8 Breathing: Inhale for 4 sec → Hold 7 sec → Exhale slowly 8 sec. Repeat 5–7 times before sleep.

Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana): Balances mind and reduces anxiety.

Box Breathing: Inhale 4 → Hold 4 → Exhale 4 → Hold 4.

👉 These activate the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation mode).


2. Mind & Thought Management

Journal Writing: Write down all your thoughts before bed → it reduces mental clutter.

Affirmations: Replace negative thoughts with short positive ones: “I am safe. I am calm. I can handle this.”

Gratitude Practice: Write 3 good things daily — trains brain to look for positives.

Digital Detox: Reduce late-night phone/social media — they fuel overthinking.


3. Lifestyle Habits

Sleep routine: Sleep & wake at fixed times. Avoid screens 1 hr before bed.

Exercise/Walk: 20–30 min daily → releases endorphins & lowers anxiety.

Sunlight exposure: Boosts Vitamin D & mood.

Avoid caffeine/energy drinks → worsen palpitations & anxiety.


4. Diet & Herbal Remedies

Chamomile tea or Ashwagandha (stress-relieving herb).

Magnesium-rich foods (banana, pumpkin seeds, spinach) calm nerves.

Warm milk with turmeric or nutmeg at night helps sleep.

Omega-3 foods (walnuts, flax seeds, fish if non-veg) improve mood.


5. Yoga & Meditation

Yoga Asanas: Balasana (child’s pose), Viparita Karani (legs up the wall), Shavasana.

Meditation: Even 5–10 min guided meditation daily can calm overthinking.

Grounding technique (5-4-3-2-1): Notice 5 things you see, 4 things you touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste → brings you back to the present moment.

Dear Anshika, You are in age 23 and it is okay to not have figured out all problems. There will be problems and sadness in all people life, the thing is no one will show it. Only the happy face will be seen by others.

Don’t bother about what others say. Think about yourself and what you achieve today.

Avoid people who drain you emotionally and criticize you. Ignore them.

Focus on career and the concerned people around you.

Do yoga in early morning. Keep a regular sleep wake cycle. Drink plenty of water. Eat homely food. Keep talking to nearest one about your thoughts.

1. Ksheerabala tailam used as talam at evening and wipe off after 30 minutes. 2. Do stretching exercises and journaling just before bed. This will help in good sleep.

Stay calm and positive Warm regards Dr. Shaniba

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.

To address anxiety and overthinking through Ayurveda, first consider balancing your doshas, primarily Vata dosha, which is often linked to such symptoms. Start your day with a calming routine; consistent morning practices helps bring stability. Consider incorporating Abhyanga—oil massage using sesame oil. This practice, performed in morning or evening, grounds Vata energy and calms the mind. Spend about 15 minutes massaging, then rinse with warm shower.

Herbs like ashwagandha and brahmi can support mental clarity and reduce anxiety. Ashwagandha can be consumed as a powder mixed with milk or warm water, about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon daily after meals, preferably before bed. Brahmi available as powder or capsules might be taken in similar dosages. These herbs are excellent for nurturing an overloaded mind and bringing peace.

Dietary changes also play a crucial role. Favor warm, nourishing meals like soups and stews, including grounding vegetables like sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Avoid cold, dry foods, and stimulants like caffeine and processed sugars that can aggravate anxiety. Warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom at night is traditional remedy for inducing restful sleep.

Breathing techniques, such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), practiced for few minutes daily, can help center your thoughts and reduce palpitations. Yoga postures supporting calmness - like Child’s Pose or Shavasana — practiced in quiet space provide body relaxation.

Remember to limit screen time, especially before bedtime, and introduce calming activities like reading or gentle music to unwind. If symptoms persist or worsen, reach out to a healthcare provider to discuss your condition.

To address anxiety and overthinking from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, you want to balance your doshas, especially vata, since it often contributes to the mind’s restless state. First, let’s focus on diet. Incorporate grounding foods that pacify vata, such as warm, cooked meals with plenty of ghee and spices like ginger, cumin, and black pepper. Avoid raw vegetables, fast food, and cold drinks which can disrupt vata and agni.

Your daily routine is important too. Establish a consistent schedule with early bedtime and wake time, aiding biological rhythms. Meditation and pranayama practices are beneficial here. Try alternate nostril breathing (nadi shodhana) for 10–15 minutes each morning to calm the mind and strengthen the nervous system.

Regarding herbal support, consider a decoction of ashwagandha. This herb can help reduce stress and support restful sleep. Take it with warm milk before bed. It’s soothing and helps balance energies.

Body self-care like abhyanga, the practice of self-massage with warm sesame oil, can be grounding for vata. Do this regularly before a shower—it will help stabilize mental states and improve body awareness.

Lastly, ensure you manage your mental diet effectively. Avoid excessive news or information that creates tension. Surround yourself in positive influences or supportive groups.

If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a professional is crucial as ongoing anxiety and palpitations may need closer medical attention. Prioritise your wellbeing by attending to both immediate symptoms and underlying factors that Ayurveda can provide insight into.

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.

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. 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. 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. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

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. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

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. 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. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.
