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.

HELLO NIKITA,

AGE- 22 years WEIGHT= 80 KG overweight category

this means you could benefit from losing 7-10 kg to reach a healthy weight range(ideally~ 60-65 kg), focusing especially on reducing visceral(belly) fat.

We aim to balance vata, mildly reduce kapha(fat), and support (digestion, metabolism)

EFFECTIVE EXERCISES focus on combining cardio, strength, and core exercises.

AVOID= cold milk, panner, cheese, khoya, full cream milk, curd at night

6) FATS AND OILS -cows ghee- small quantity, helps in fat metabolism -cold pressed mustard oiler sesame oil

AVOID -refined oils, deep fired food

7) SPICES AND HERBS these helps stimulate digestion, improves metabolism and reduce bloating -ginger, cumin, ajwain, black pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, asafoetida

use these in cooking or as herbal teas- cumin-fennel-coriander decoction after meals

8) BEVERAGES -warm water throughout the day - herbal teas -jeera water

AVOID= cold water, aerated drinks, packaged fruit juices, sweet lassi or milkshakes

9) SNACKS-light dry and non sugary - roasted makahna, roasted chana, dry fruits in moderation -chia seed water -sprouts= moong, chana with lemon, no salt

Hello Nikita I can understand your concern regarding your dandruff and willingness for weight loss. But don’t worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ Ayurvedic Diet for Weight Loss (healthy weighloss without weakness )

❌Avoid

White rice, maida, fried food, sweets, bakery items, cold drinks, curd at night.

✅ Include Morning (empty stomach): Warm water + 1 tsp lemon juice + ½ tsp honey

Breakfast: Moong dal chilla / oats upma / vegetable poha

Mid-morning: 1 fruit (papaya, apple, pomegranate)

Lunch: 1–2 multigrain rotis / brown rice + dal / green sabzi + salad

Evening snack: Herbal tea (ginger, cinnamon, tulsi) + roasted chana / makhana

Dinner (light): Moong dal soup / vegetable khichdi / stir-fried veggies

Bedtime (optional): 1 glass warm water with ½ tsp Triphala

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

1. Triphala Guggulu – 2 -0-2 after food (fat metabolism, detox).

2. Medohar Vati – 2-0-2 before food (reduces Kapha, aids weight loss).

3. Guggulu Tikta Kashayam – 15 ml with equal warm water twice daily (balances metabolism, removes ama).

4 Dashmoola haritaki lehyam 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water

✅PANCHAKARMA FOR WEIGHT LOSS

👉Udvartana (herbal dry powder massage) – removes fat deposits & cellulite.

👉Virechana (medicated purgation) – cleanses excess pitta & kapha toxins.

👉Basti (medicated enema) – balances vata, regulates metabolism.

👉 A 15–21 day Panchakarma program can give visible weight + skin benefits.

✅ For Severe Dandruff (Ayurvedic Scalp Care)

👉 Oils

1. Dhurdhurapatradi Taila – massage scalp 3 times a week, leave for 30–45 mins, wash with mild herbal shampoo.

👉Home Remedies

Boil neem leaves in water, cool, rinse scalp once a week.

Apply paste of fenugreek seeds (soaked overnight) + curd on scalp, 30 min, weekly.

Avoid excessive use of chemical shampoos.

✅ LIFESTYLE TIPS( small tips but with larger impact)

👉Daily 30–40 min brisk walk or yoga (Surya Namaskar 5–10 rounds, Kapalbhati, Anulom Vilom).

👉Sleep before 11 pm.

👉Stay hydrated (2.5–3L warm water daily).

Your weight gain and dandruff both come from Kapha imbalance & toxin accumulation.

With proper diet, herbs, and Panchakarma, you can reduce 5–6 kg in 2 months naturally without weakness.

Wish you a Good Heath😊

Warm. Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Dear Nikita Thank you for sharing your condition. Your weight is 80 kg and you wish to reduce it to a healthy range without weakness. You also suffer from severe dandruff. Ayurveda identifies this as Kapha–Meda aggravation leading to weight gain, slow metabolism, and Kapha + Pitta imbalance in the scalp causing dandruff.

Our approach will be:

1. Deepana–Pachana (rekindling digestion & metabolism) 2. Medohara chikitsa (fat metabolism) 3. Rakta–Kapha shodhana (scalp & dandruff cleansing) 4. Gentle Rasayana (to prevent weakness).

🔍 Recommended Investigations

1. Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4) 2. Lipid profile 3. Fasting blood sugar & HbA1c 4. Vitamin D & B12 5. CBC (for baseline Hb%)

💊 Internal Medicines

For Weight Reduction (first 2 months)

1. Triphala Guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily after meals (burns fat, clears ama). 2. Medohar Vati – 2 tabs twice daily before meals (supports fat metabolism). 3. Varanadi Kashayam – 15 ml + equal warm water twice daily before meals (belly fat, upper body fat reduction). 4. Punarnava Mandur – 2 tabs twice daily after meals (reduces water retention, supports liver).

For Strength & Preventing Weakness

1.Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with warm water at bedtime (builds strength). 2.Chyawanprash – 1 tsp in the morning with warm water (not milk, since weight loss goal).

🌿 Ayurvedic Diet (for Weight Reduction without Weakness)

Morning (on empty stomach):

1.Warm water with 1 tsp lemon + ½ tsp honey.

OR Jeera–ajwain–methi seed water (boiled overnight, drink warm).

1.2 multigrain rotis (millets like jowar/bajra/ragi). 2.1 bowl dal / moong soup. 3.1 bowl seasonal sabji (steamed/sauteed). 4.1 small bowl salad (cucumber, carrot, beet).

Evening Snack:

1.Herbal tea (ginger + tulsi + cinnamon) with roasted chana or fox nuts.

Dinner (light & early, by 7:30 pm):

1.Vegetable soup / moong dal khichdi / steamed vegetables with 1 roti. 2.Golden milk (haldi + warm water) if craving sweet.

Weekly add-ons:

1.1 tsp flaxseeds/pumpkin seeds for omega-3 (controls inflammation). 2.Use ½ tsp cow ghee in meals (don’t avoid completely).

🚫 Avoid: wheat bread, refined flour, fried/junk food, cold drinks, excess rice, sugar, late-night eating.

🧘 Panchakarma Therapies (for Weight Loss + Dandruff)

1. Udwartana (dry powder massage with Triphala/kolakulathadi churna) – daily/alternate days for 14–21 days – breaks fat, improves circulation. 2. Virechana (purgation therapy) – for Pitta–Kapha balance, weight loss, and scalp cleansing. 3. Shirodhara with medicated oils (Bhringraj oil / Neelibhringadi) – for dandruff, scalp cooling, stress relief. 4. Takradhara (pouring medicated buttermilk on scalp) – excellent for dandruff & scalp itching.

💊 For Severe Dandruff

1. Neem oil mixed with Bhringraj oil – massage scalp 30 min before bath, 2–3 times/week. 2. Triphaladi Taila – alternate application for scalp detox. 3. Hair wash with Triphala decoction or mild herbal shampoo (avoid chemical-based). 4. Apply aloe vera gel (fresh) on scalp at night once or twice a week.

🧘 Yoga & Lifestyle

1. Surya Namaskar – 6–12 rounds daily (fat burning). 2. Kapalabhati & Bhastrika pranayama – 10 min daily (belly fat reduction, metabolism boost). 3. Anulom Vilom – 10 min (balances stress hormones, supports skin & hair). 4. Brisk walk / yoga / cycling – 40 min daily. 5. Sleep 10–11 pm, wake before sunrise.

For reducing weight and maintaining energy levels, it’s important to start with a balanced Ayurvedic diet tailored to your body’s constitution or ‘Prakriti’. You should focus on pacifying Kapha dosha, as its imbalace often leads to weight gain. Start your day with a glass of warm water with lemon and honey, this boosts metabolism right in the morning. Consume small, but frequent meals throughout the day to keep energy levels steady.

Aim for three main meals a day, each meal including plenty of vegetables and whole grains like quinoa or barley. Favor light, cooked vegetables like zucchini, carrots, and leafy greens. Use spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric; these naturally enhance your digestive fire (Agni). Avoid heavy, oily and cold foods such as processed snacks or sugary drinks. Opt instead for freshly prepared meals. Avoid eating after 7 pm to give your body ample time to digest before bedtime.

In terms of ayurvedic medicines, Triphala can be useful for detoxifying the body and aiding digestion, which is essential for weight loss. You might take it as a powder, mixed with warm water before bed. Another is Guggul, which is known for its properties in lipid metabolism; consider taking it under the guidence of an Ayurvedic practitioner. For dandruf, you could apply a blend of neem oil and coconut oil on your scalp, leave it for half an hour before washing it off. Neem oil has antifungal properties that can help fight dandruff.

Regarding Panchakarma therapy, Virechana, a form of therapeutic purgation, can help cleanse and balance Kapha Dosha. This should always be done under expert supervision.

Make sure you engage in regular physical activity such as yoga or brisk walking, as they support weight management and enhance oveerall well-being. Addressing severe dandruff alongside will involve both dietary inclusions, like increasing naturally cooling foods such as those high in fiber, and maintaining a healthy scalp environment through remedies. Please consider consulting with a local ayurvedic practitioner to personalize your regimen and ensure you’re adopting safe and effective practices suited to your individual health profile.

Weight reduction is best approached by understanding your body’s unique dosha balance. For weight management, focus on balancing kapha dosha, which when aggravated, can lead to weight gain. Begin your day with lukewarm water infused with the juice of half a lemon. This helps to kickstart your agni (digestive fire) and aids in detoxification.

Include light and warm foods in your diet. Opt for whole grains like barley and millet, as they pacify kapha. Favor vegetables like leafy greens and avoid heavy, oily, and sweet foods. Incorporate spices such as ginger, black pepper, and cumin to stimulate digestion. Try to avoid refined sugars and opt for natural sweeteners like honey in moderate amounts. Additionally, have small sips of warm water throughout the day to support digestion.

For herbal support, consider taking guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) which is known to boost metabolism and promote healthy weight loss. Triphala is another valuable formulation as it balances the doshas and supports digestion and detoxification.

Regarding Panchakarma, consider therapies like Vamana or Virechana, which are purificatory procedures that can help alleviate excess doshas. However, any Panchakarma should only be undertaken under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.

For your dandruff concern, try applying neem oil to your scalp, as neem has powerful antifungal properties. Regular massage with oil before washing can help reduce dandruff and keep the scalp healthy. Also, Amla powder (Indian gooseberry) intake can support hair health long-term.

Always consult a qualified Siddha-Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new treatment, therapy, or supplement to ensure it connects well with your unique prakriti and health needs.

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. Anupriya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

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

Dr. 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. Chaitrali Rajendra Tambe
I am someone who really believes that Ayurveda isn’t just about giving herbs and oils—it's more like a whole way of looking at the body, the habits, the food, and how everything connects together. I got solid training in Ayurvedic clinical practice and feel most confident when I'm using therapies like Panchakarma or planning proper Shodhana for someone who's stuck in a cycle of chronic illness or stress-related issues. There’s just something powerful about seeing how classical cleansing can bring that shift in energy and clarity for ppl who've tried everything else. I work a lot on dosha assessment—sometimes it takes a bit of digging cause symptoms don’t always line up in a textbook way. But once I figure out what’s really going off-balance, I try to make treatment super personalized. It’s not just about giving a kashayam or lepa... I spend time explaining diet changes, routines, sleep timing, and even emotional triggers when needed. Many people don’t realise how big a role lifestyle play in their conditions. Right now, I’m mostly focused on lifestyle disorders and detox-based therapies. Things like PCOS, fatty liver, skin allergies, joint stiffness, IBS, anxiety-linked issues… those come up a lot. I try not to rush. I’d rather go slow n consistent, combining classical concepts with modern diagnostics if needed. Blood tests, reports, scans—they help me track things while still keeping the treatment Ayurvedic in core. I’m also pretty organized about documenting my cases—not just for reference but to understand patterns better. I guess every case teaches you something new, even after hundreds of patients. And I do keep learning, whether it’s updating protocols or trying to refine a virechana schedule that didn’t go as planned. In the end, for me it’s really about finding that balance for each person... not just patching the symptom. I think that’s where Ayurveda really shines.
