PCOS With extreme weakness and anxiety - #27607

Shravani Banerjee

I am 29 years old. I am having PCOS from the age of 20. I have irregular periods. Currently period is missed by 3 months and suddenly I have started having excessive weakness and palpitations and anxiety even head also spins occasionally. I did blood test. All vitamins are normal, only Iron is 30, but Haemoglobin is 12. Even thyroid is normal. But inflammation is more.I think these problems are due to PCOS. Can you suggest some ayurvedic medicine for the same. Or advice me what to do?

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. Deepali Goswami
I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

HELLO SHRAVANI,

You said your periods have been irregular, missed periods since 3 months. you are suffering from PCOS

In PCOS, -your ovaries develop many small cysts-fluid filled sacs -hormonal imbalance occurs-too much male hormone(androgens) and not enough of the hormones that regulate periods(like FSH and LH)

As a result -ovulation (release of eggs) doesn’t happen properly -periods become delayed, irregular or absent - you may notice weight gain, acne, facial hairs and mood swings

In Ayurveda, PCOD is due to -Kapha dosha increase-causing heaviness , slow metabolism, cyst formation -Vata dosha disturbance-blocking normal flow of hormones and menstruation -Agni(digestive fire) is weak, causing Ama(toxins) buildup in reproductive tissues(Artava dhatu)

TREATMENT GOAL -regulating the menstrual cycle -balancing hormones -improving digestion and metabolism - reducing cyst formation and ama - improving digestion and metabolism -reducing cyst formation and ama - improving ovulation and fertility -cleansing and toning reproductive system

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) RAJAH PRAVARTINI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily with warm water after meals for 3 months =induces menstruation, regulates hormones

2) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after food with lukewarm water =shrinks ovarian cysts, balances hormones

3) SUKUMARAM KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily before meals =Balances Vata, relieves cramps, strengthens uterus

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =metabolism booster, Balances Vata-kapha

6) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =detoxification, improves digestion

FOR EXCESSIVE WEAKNESS AND ANXIETY -SHATAVARI + ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp each with warm milk at night daily

MINIMUM DURATION= 3 to 6 months with consistency

DIET PLAN

FOODS TO INCLUDE

1) WHOLE GRAINS -millets= foxtail, barnyard, kodo, little millet- regulate insulin and reduce fat -quinoa, amaranth, red/brown rice -rolled oats(not instant)

2) VEGETABLES -focus on bitter, pungent, and astringent food -bitter gourd, drumstick, methi -cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, ash gourd -avoid raw salads, cook lightly and digestive spices

3) FRUITS(LOW GLYCEMIC) -amla=fresh or churna -pomegrante -apples, pears, papaya, berries

4) PROTEINS -Plant based= Moong dal, massor dal, horse gram, sprouted lentils -Animal based (if non veg)= boiled eggs, grilled fish(2 times/week)

5) HEALTHY FATS -cold pressed sesame oil -ghee=1 tsp/day -flax seed oil -seeds= flax, chia, pumpkin seeds- support estrogen balance

6) HERBS AND SPICES -turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, ajwian, -black pepper+ ginger

7) LEGUMES -moong dal, massor dal

FOODS TO AVOID -cold and raw foods like smoothies, raws salads - sugar and white bread=causes weight gain and acne -fried or packaged foods= increases toxins -milk,panner,cheese= can make cysts worse -stress and late night= disrupts hormones

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones, calms mind - bhramari= reduces anxiety and supports pitutary -kapalbhati= light version, support metabolism

HOME REMEDIES

1) SESAME + JAGGERY -dry roast 1 tbsp sesame seeds+ mix of 1 tsp jaggery -eat every morning on empty stomach for 2-3 weeks before expected periods

2) FENUGREEK SEED TEA -soak 1 tsp fenugreek seeds in hot water, strain and drink daily -supports ovary function and weight loss

3) ALOE VERA + HONEY -mix 1 tbsp fresh aloe vera gel + 1/2 tsp honey -take on empty stomach daily - not during periods

MIND BODY CONNECTION PCOD is deeply linked with stress and emotional stagnation -practicue gratitude journaling, emotional release -engage in art, music, or nature therapy -reduce overthinking and over working- both aggravate vata

-Your irregular periods due to PCOS are completely manageable with consistent ayurvedic care, lifestyle changes and patience -Don’t loose hope- your body needs natural time to heal. In Ayurveda, we work at the root cause, not just symptoms -With 3-6 months of regular effort, most experience normal periods, balanced hormones and better energy/mood -daily discipline in diet, yoga and stress control is as important as medicines

DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3-6 MONTHS

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Dear Shravani, Thank you for sharing your condition. You are 29 years old with a history of PCOS since age 20, having irregular periods (currently missed for 3 months). Now you are experiencing excessive weakness, palpitations, anxiety, dizziness, and high inflammation.

Blood reports show:

Iron = 30 (low storage, though Hb = 12)

Thyroid normal

Vitamins normal

Raised inflammation markers

This suggests Apana Vata vitiation (irregular cycles) + Kapha–Medo aggravation (PCOS cysts, hormonal imbalance) + Rakta dhatu depletion (low iron stores despite normal Hb), with underlying Pitta (inflammation) and Vata (anxiety, palpitations) imbalance.

🔍 Recommended Investigations

1. Pelvic ultrasound – ovarian size, follicular cysts, endometrium thickness. 2. Hormonal profile – LH, FSH, Estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone, Prolactin. 3. CBC + Serum Ferritin – to monitor iron stores. 4. hs-CRP or ESR – to track inflammation. 5. Fasting glucose + HbA1c + Insulin resistance markers.

💊 Internal Medicines

Phase 1 – Agni Deepana & Kapha–Pitta Shamana (First 4 weeks)

1. Trikatu Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily (boosts metabolism, reduces inflammation). 2. Nimbadi Kwatha – 15 ml with 30 ml of warm water, twice daily before meals (blood purification, reduces inflammation & skin issues if any).

Phase 2 – PCOS & Cycle Regulation (Next 2 months)

1. Ashokarishta – 20 ml with equal water after meals, twice daily (regulates menstrual cycle, reduces excessive bleeding if present later). 2. Kanchanara Guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily after meals (shrinks cysts, balances Kapha–Medo). 3. Shatavari Kalpa – 1 tsp with warm water twice daily (female hormone balancer, nourishes reproductive system). 4. Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tabs twice daily after meals (balances hormones, reduces anxiety & palpitations).

For Low Iron Stores (without constipation):

Dhatri Loha – 1 tab twice daily after meals (iron + Vitamin C, improves ferritin).

🌿 External Support

1.Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil or dhanwantaram oil, twice a week – reduces anxiety, palpitations, improves circulation. 2.Hot fomentation on lower abdomen during expected cycle dates – balances Apana Vata.

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle

Pathya (Recommended):

1. Warm, light, freshly cooked food. 2. Millets (ragi, bajra, foxtail) instead of wheat/rice. 3. Moong dal, green gram sprouts, drumstick leaves. 4. Pomegranate, apple, papaya – supports cycle and blood. 5. Turmeric + black pepper in warm water daily (anti-inflammatory). 6. Small amount of cow’s ghee (½ tsp) in meals.

Apathya (Avoid):

1. Refined carbs, fried food, bakery, sugary foods. 2. Dairy in excess (curd, paneer, cheese at night). 3. Cold drinks, packaged juices, carbonated drinks. 4. Late-night sleep, irregular eating patterns.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga & Lifestyle

1. Asanas: Baddha Konasana, Malasana, Setubandhasana, Bhujangasana (stimulates ovaries, balances hormones). 2. Pranayama: Anulom Vilom & Bhramari (10 min daily, reduces anxiety & palpitations). 3. Weight management: Walk/yoga for 30–40 min daily. 4. Sleep before 11 pm, wake before sunrise. 5. Stress reduction with journaling, meditation, or chanting.

🌸 With Kind Regards

This plan will gradually:

1.Regulate menstrual cycles 2.Reduce PCOS cysts and inflammation 3.Restore iron stores 4.Calm anxiety and palpitations

Gentle but consistent Ayurvedic therapy, combined with mindful diet and lifestyle, will bring balance in Vata–Kapha and strengthen your reproductive health.

​According to Ayurveda, Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is viewed as a condition caused by an imbalance in the body’s three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The symptoms you listed—hair loss, weight loss, and hormonal imbalance—are considered manifestations of this underlying dosha disruption. Specifically, PCOD is often linked to an excess of Kapha and Vata doshas, which can lead to a build-up of toxins (Ama) and affect the reproductive and metabolic systems.

​Ayurvedic Perspective on Symptoms ​Hormone Imbalance & PCOD

​Ayurveda sees hormonal imbalance not as the root cause, but as a symptom of a deeper issue. The primary goal is to correct the dosha imbalance and improve the body’s internal environment. The accumulation of toxins and improper functioning of the digestive fire (Agni) are believed to be the main culprits.

​ ​

​Ayurvedic Treatment Approach ​Ayurvedic treatment for PCOD is holistic and aims to address the root cause, not just the symptoms. It typically involves a combination of dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and specialized cleansing therapies.

​Dietary Recommendations 🍎

​A Kapha-pacifying diet is generally recommended, focusing on foods that are warm, light, and easy to digest.

​Consume: Fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporate spices like turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, and ginger, which are believed to improve metabolism and hormonal balance.

​Avoid: Processed foods, sugary snacks, refined carbohydrates, and cold or heavy foods.

​Routine and stress management are key in Ayurveda.

​Exercise: Regular, moderate physical activity like yoga, walking, and swimming can help manage weight, improve insulin sensitivity, and regulate hormones.

​Stress Management: Practices like Pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation are recommended to lower stress-related hormones like cortisol.

​Sleep: Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and getting adequate rest is crucial for hormonal balance.

1) Tab pushpadhanva rasa 1-1-1 before food

In your case, it appears the symptoms—weakness, palpitations, anxiety—may link to both PCOS and low iron levels. Irregular periods and high inflammation often accompany PCOS. Ayurveda’s approach involves balancing the doshas, improving agni (digestive fire), and supporting the body’s natural rhythms.

First, let’s focus on diet. Consuming a Vata-Pitta balancing diet might be beneficial. Include whole grains such as quinoa and millet, green leafy vegetables like spinach, and fresh fruits (e.g., pomegranate, which can also help boost iron levels). Avoid processed foods, artificial sweeteners, and trans fats as they can increase inflammation. Consuming small, balanced meals regularly can stabilize blood sugar and ease anxiety.

For herbal support, Ashwagandha is known for its adaptogenic properties. It might help reduce anxiety and enhance vitality. Take one teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder with warm milk before bedtime. Additionally, Shatavari is a reproductive tonic, useful for balancing female hormones. Around 500mg of Shatavari powder twice daily with warm water could be beneficial.

While supplements are helpful, lifestyle changes play a crucial role too. Daily practices such as Abhyanga (self-massage) using warm sesame oil can calm the nervous system. Engage in calming activities like yoga or pranayama (specifically alternate nostril breathing) to help manage anxiety and regulate menstrual cycles.

Regarding the inflammation, Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory herb that can be included in cooking or taken as a small pinch in warm water.

It’s important to track your symptoms and keep in touch with a healthcare provider. Regular follow-ups with both Ayurvedic and western practitioners can guide any adjustments needed in your treatment. If your symptoms persist or worsen, professional medical intervention may be necessary.

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.

Your symptoms of excessive weakness, palpitations, and anxiety linked with PCOS suggest a potential imbalance of doshas, primarily Kapha and Vata, and possibly Pitta too, considering the inflammation. This situation requires a comprehensive approach, both in diet and lifestyle adjustments alongside herbal support, grounded in the Siddha-Ayurveda principles.

First, focusing on balancing your Vata and Kapha is essential. Start optimizing your diet by incorporating warming, easily digestible foods. Consider eating freshly cooked meals with spices like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper which can help balance Kapha and improve Agni. Try to minimize raw, cold foods, and avoid processed sugars and excessive caffeine.

For herbal support, Ashwagandha is known for reducing anxiety and supporting the body’s stress response. It can be taken as a churna (powder) mixed with warm milk before bed. Shatavari is another herb that may regulate hormonal balance and support female health, taken as a decoction or tablet. Consult an experienced practitioner before starting any new herbal regimen.

For inflammation, incorporating turmeric as a spice daily with black pepper in meals can be beneficial due to its anti-inflammatory properties. A teaspoon mixed in lukewarm water can be consumed with breakfast.

Gentle exercises like walking or yoga can help alleviate anxiety and improve circulation, addressing weakness. Practice deep breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) to calm the mind and reduce palpitations.

Given your missed periods and symptoms persist, it may be necessary to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner and an allopathic physician to rule out other conditions needing advanced care. Regular assessments will ensure that any underlying condition is addressed promptly.

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

Dr. 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. 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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

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

Dr. 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. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

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. 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. 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.
