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?

Age: 29
Chronic illnesses: PCOS

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

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

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

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

2) Tab leptaden 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.

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.

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

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

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

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. Sumi. S
I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.
