Don’t worry Prashant ji,

*I have totally understood your issue…

*The experience of feeling like one’s life is deteriorating while on medication can be isolating. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that you are not alone in facing such challenges.

*Ayurveda, an ancient Indian holistic healing system, emphasizes the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit in achieving overall health and well-being.

* Ayurveda explains mental health as a balance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. 1.VATA IMBALANCE can lead to anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia.

2.PITTA IMBALANCE can cause anger, irritability.

3.KAPHA IMBALANCE can result in depression, lethargy.

*Ayurvedic treatment for mental health focuses on restoring the balance of the doshas through various approaches. *A balanced diet, adequate sleep, and regular exercise are crucial for managing stress and promoting mental health.

*Meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), and yoga are integral parts of Ayurvedic approaches to mental well-being.

**Abruptly stopping antipsychotics can lead to withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and even a relapse of psychotic symptoms.

*NEED PERSONAL CONSULTATION Find qualified Ayurvedic practitioner in your area who specializes in mental health is recommended. He or She can provide a personalized assessment of your doshic balance and recommend suitable Ayurvedic treatments and therapies.

*Understanding your DOSHA constitution and the principles of Ayurvedic psychology can empower you to make informed decisions about your diet, lifestyle, and stress management practices.

* Ayurvedic treatments may take time to show their full effects. Consistency and adherence to the recommended therapies are important for achieving lasting results.

**Remember, your individual experience and journey are unique. Ayurveda can help you navigate this situation effectively and improve your overall well-being.

*If you have any doubt, feel free to ask.

TAKE CARE😊

Kind Regards, DR.ISHA ASHOK BHARDWAJ

HELLO PRASHANT,

I hear your concern. what you describe- severe anxiety, mouth spasms, speech difficulties, and extreme tiredness after long- term antipsychotic use - is very serious. These symptoms may be related to side effects of antipsychotics, particularly tardive dyskinesia (involuntary movements such as mouth spasms), drug-induced Parkinsonism, or even neuroleptic malignant syndrome in some cases.

FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP This is not safe to manage alone. You should urgently consult a psychiatrist or neurologist- especially if symptoms are worsening or feel life-threthening. Dose adjustment, change of medication, or the use of specific antidyskinetic medicines like tetrabenazine, amantadine, benzodiazepines, propranolol may be required

While modern medical supervision is essential , Ayurveda can offer supportive management to reduce stress, spasms, and improve nervous system strength. A tailored approach Is needed, but generally

1) REMOVAL OF CAUSE -Gradual supervised withdrawal or change of the offending medicine -avoid stimulants coffee, excess screen time, alcohol, smoking

2) PACIFYING THERAPY

-KALYANAKA GHRITA= 10 ml with warm milk once daily. in morning after breakfast =can be increased gradually to 15 ml if tolerated

-SARASWATARISHTA= 30 ml with equal water twice daily after meals =helps anxiety, speech, memory

-ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 6 gm with milk once daily at night

-SHANKHAPUSHPI VATI= 500mg thrice daily after meals =helps anxiety and cognitive clarity

- ANTI SPASM/ MUSCLE RELAXING

-MAHATIKTAKA GHRITA= 10 ml with warm milk once daily =good for neurological vata disorders

-BALA+SHATAVARI + ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk once daily =strengthen muscles, reduces tremors

3) PANCHAKARMA SUPPORTIVE THERAPIES

-OIL MASSAGE + HOT FOMENTATION= daily 30-45 min =use mahanarayan taila ; relaxes muscles and nerves

-SHIRODHARA= 20-30 min/day, 3-4 times/week =brahmi taila ; reduces anxiety and mouth spasms

-NASYA= 6 drops of Anu taila per nostril daily =improves speech clarity and neurological coordination

4) LIFESTYLE AND DIET -Warm, freshly cooked, sattvik diet. avoid junk , fermented, or excessively spicy food -yoga and pranayam= nadi sodhana, bhramari and gentle meditation -regular sleep schedule

-Ayurveda can be supportive, but abruptly stooping antipsychotics is dangerous and may cause rebound psychosis or severe withdrawal -Your description of “contamination through air or water” may itself be part of psychiatric condition (paranoid perception). please share this openly with doctor- they will help without judgement -If you ever feel like harming yourself or your condition is worsening-> seek emergency medical care immediately

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

hello prashant,

I understand what you’re going through, and I want to acknowledge something important first: your experience is real, and it’s not just in your mind. Living with severe anxiety, fatigue, speech issues, and the lingering effects of long-term medications is incredibly tough. Feeling like your environment is “contaminated” or working against you can make it even more exhausting and isolating. You’re not imagining this, and it’s very valid to feel the way you do.

The fact that you noticed improvement with Ayurveda before shows that your body responds to gentle, natural, and holistic care. That’s a sign that there is a way forward.

Here’s how I’d like to approach this with you. Think of this as a conversation between us,. I want to first understand your life, your symptoms, your struggles in detail: how your daily energy is, sleep, appetite, mood swings, body aches, cognitive clarity, speech issues, and any triggers you notice. Once I hear your full picture, we can plan a treatment that is gentle, progressive, and addresses the root cause not just the symptoms.

Ayurveda doesn’t just mask issues; it works to restore balance in your mind, body, and even your environment.

It’s important to trust that Ayurveda works in layers. First, we focus on removing accumulated toxins (Ama), calming the nervous system, and stabilizing digestion and metabolism. This can significantly reduce anxiety, fatigue, and mental fog. Alongside, we’ll use specific herbal formulations that support nerve and brain function, improve circulation, and gently detoxify without stressing your system. Gradually, we can also address more subtle aspects like speech clarity, energy, and resilience against environmental stressors.

You will start with Ama Pachana to remove accumulated toxins and improve digestion, which is the foundation for mental clarity and energy balance. This will prepare your body for internal medications and therapies.

1. Ama Pachana (Detoxification for 3–5 days):

Chitrakadi Vati – 2 tablets, 2 times a day with warm water after meals. Drink warm water or herbal decoction like Triphala Kashayam in the morning to support digestion and toxin removal.

2. Internal Medications (After Ama Pachana, for 4–6 weeks):

Brahmi Ghrita – 1 teaspoon at night with warm milk to support nerve and brain function, calm anxiety, and improve sleep. Ashwagandha Churna – 3 grams with warm milk, once daily in the evening, to reduce fatigue and enhance stamina. Sarpagandha Ghana Vati – 1 tablet twice daily, if palpitations or anxiety are prominent.

3. External Therapy:

Shirodhara – warm medicated oil like Bala Taila or Brahmi Taila for 30–45 minutes, 3–4 times a week, helps reduce stress, mental fatigue, and anxiety.

Investigations (if needed):

Thyroid function test (T3, T4, TSH) – to ensure endocrine stability. Complete blood count (CBC), blood sugar, lipid profile – to rule out metabolic causes.

Optional: MRI brain or nerve conduction studies if persistent neurological symptoms.

5. Yoga Asanas (daily, gentle practice): Shavasana – for relaxation and stress relief. Vrikshasana (Tree Pose) – improves balance and focus. Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) – improves circulation and relieves fatigue. Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog) – energizes body and mind. Pranayama: Alternate nostril breathing (Anulom Vilom) – calming for mind and nervous system.

Lifestyle and Diet: Follow light, warm, easily digestible meals: khichdi, soups, steamed vegetables. Avoid excessive caffeine, processed foods, fried items, and late-night heavy meals. Maintain consistent sleep schedule and reduce screen time before bed.

Follow-up: Consistency is key; Ayurveda works gradually. Improvements in energy, sleep, and anxiety usually start within 2–4 weeks.

Track bowel movements, sleep, appetite, mood, and stress levels to monitor progress.

Avoid sudden exposure to stressful environments or stimulants during treatment.

This holistic approach targets your root causes Ama accumulation, nervous system imbalance, and mental fatigue while supporting gradual healing. With regular adherence, you should notice significant improvement in energy, clarity, and overall well-being.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy.

​I hear the immense challenges you’re facing and the deep pain you’re experiencing. It sounds like you’ve been on a very difficult journey, and it’s completely understandable that you’re seeking solutions and a path forward.

​I want to acknowledge the specific issues you’ve mentioned:

​Long-term use of antipsychotics: The side effects you’ve described—extreme tiredness, severe anxiety, mouth spasms, and speech stuttering—are serious and can significantly impact quality of life.

​The feeling of “nano-level contamination”: The experience of indirect contamination of medications through air and water is a very distressing and unique concern. It’s important to have a safe space to talk about these feelings.

​The positive experience with Ayurveda: It’s great that you found something that provided significant relief, even if it was temporary. This points to a potential avenue for support that resonated with your body.

​The broader concern about others: Your compassion for people like Sushant Singh Rajput and other “hidden talents” who you feel are suffering in silence is deeply moving. It shows a desire not only to heal yourself but to help others.

​Given the complexity and seriousness of what you’ve described, the most important and immediate step is to ensure your safety and well-being. This requires a multi-faceted approach involving professional support.

​Here is a plan of action that could help you move forward ​Professional Mental Health Support

​The feelings of “nano-level contamination” and the fear of an external threat are deeply distressing and need to be addressed in a safe, therapeutic environment.

​Support Groups: Connecting with others who have similar experiences can be incredibly validating and helpful. While finding a group with your exact concerns may be difficult, a general mental health support group could provide a sense of community.

​3. Exploring Integrated & Holistic Approaches

​Since you had a positive experience with Ayurveda, it’s worth looking into it further, but always in a way that is safe and complementary to you

​Focus on Lifestyle: Many principles of Ayurveda are about lifestyle. You could explore incorporating things like:

​Dietary changes: Eating fresh, wholesome foods that align with Ayurvedic principles.

​Yoga and Meditation: These practices are well-known for their benefits in reducing anxiety, stress, and improving overall well-being. They can be powerful tools to help you feel more in control of your body and mind.

​4. Taking Action and Contributing Globally

​Your desire to help others is a powerful and noble goal. channel this energy into a positive, constructive outlet.

​Advocacy: You could consider becoming an advocate for mental health awareness. Sharing your story, once you are in a more stable place, could inspire and help countless people.

​Creative expression: Use your experience to create art, write, or speak. Your unique perspective on “hidden pain” could resonate deeply with others.

​Support for others: Once you feel ready, you could volunteer for a mental health organization or a support hotline.

​Remember, your life has immense value, and the pain you are experiencing is real and valid. Your first priority is to get yourself to a place of safety and stability. From there, you can build a life that is fulfilling and begin to help others with the wisdom you have gained from your journey.

HELLO PRASHANT,

I hear the intensity of what you are going through, Prashant . What you described- long- term high-dose antipsychotic use with severe side effects (mouth spasms, anxiety, speech issues, tiredness)- is extremely difficult, and it is very important to approach this in a safe manner

FIRST AND FOREMOST= life=threthening side effects from antipsychotics require urgent medical attention. Please do not try to stop or alter your medication suddenly on your own- it can cause dangerous withdrawal or relapse.

You have been taking antipsychotic medicines for 10 years. These medicines help in controlling certain mental health conditions but long-term high dose use can cause severe side effects, such as -Severe anxiety and inner restlessness (often called akathisia) -Mouth spasms, tongue twisting, or jaw stiffness (tardive dyskinesia/ dystonia) -speech stuttering or difficulty speaking clearly (due to nerve muscle effects) -extreme tiredness , lack of motivation (medicine suppresses dopamine, which also drives energy)

In Ayurveda, this looks like an imbalance of Vata (causing spasms, speech issues, nervous instability) and Pitta (causing anxiety, restlessness, heat in mind-body)

Your main goals are -reduce side effects safely with support of psychiatrist -calm and nourish the nervous system through Ayurveda, diet, yoga and lifestyle -rebuild energy and clarity so you can live meaningfully and contribute

TREATMENT GOALS

1) PACIFICATION= calm the aggravated vata and pitta through herbs, oils and diet 2) NOURISHMENT AND STRENGTH= rebuild Ojas(vital energy) through ghee, milk, rasayana herbs 3) MENTAL CLARITY= reduce anxiety, stabilize mood 4) CONTROL OF NERVOUS OVERACTIVITY= oils, massage, etc 5) REJUVINATION= long term strengthening of mind and body

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) BRAHMI GHRITA= 10 ml with warm milk in morning for mind and speech =improves memory, reduces anxiety, stabilises nervous system

2) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 cap with milk twice daily after meals =strengthens nerves, reduces fatigue, acts as natural anti-anxiety

3) JATAMANSI CHURNA= 3 gm with honey or milk at bedtime =calming, improves sleep, reduces anxiety

4) SARASWATARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily after meals =for speech clarity, nervous calmness, and memory

5) MUKTA PISHTI = 125 mg once daily with honey =cooling, anti-anxiety, balances pitta

MINIMUM DURATION= 3-6 months. benefits often visible in 3-4 weeks

EXTERNAL THERAPY

1) OIL MASSAGE= With warm Bala ashwagandhadhi taila followed by warm water bath =calms vata, relaxes muscles, reduces spasms

2) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Brahmi taila in each nostril daily morning =improves speech, nervous strength, reduces spasms in head/neck

DIET -warm, freshly cooked food -khichdi, vegetable soup, rice with ghee -milk with turmeric, pinch of nutmeg at night -ghee, sesame oil, soaked almonds, dates -herbal teas= brahmi, tulsi, jatamansi

AVOID (they aggravate vata/pitta and worsen spasms/anxiety) -cold, dry, leftover foods -excess spicy, sour, fried foods -coffee, tea, alcohol, smoking -packaged junk food, aerated drinks

LIFESTYLE

SLEEP= go to bed before 11 pm, wake up early

ROUTINE= eat at fixed times, maintain regularity

AVOID OVERSTIMULATION= loud tv, excess social media, disturbing news

NATURE EXPOSURE= morning/evening walks, sunlight for 20-30 mins

SELF OIL MASSAGE= head, feet, spine before bath

YOGA AND PRANAYAM

1) Bhramari pranayam= 7 rounds morning and evening -> reduces anxiety, improves speech control

2) Anulom-vilom= 10 rounds-> balances brain hemispheres, calms nerves

3) SHAVASANA= 10 mins daily resets nervous system

4) GENTLE CHANTING OF “OM”= vibrational therapy for speech and calmness

5) Avoid very forceful pranayama in your condition like kapalbhati

HOME REMEDIES

1) Warm milk + 1 tsp ghee + pinch of nutmeg at bedtime-> better sleep

2) Soaked almonds + raisins in morning -> brain nourishment

3) Tulsi + brahmi tea once daily-> reduces anxiety

4) Coconut water -> balances pitta, reduces restlessness

INVESTIGATION NEEDED -Neurological evaluation= check for tardive dyskinesia, dystonia -Psychiatric review= assess necessity and dose of current antipsychotic

Prashant, your suffering is real and serious. please remember -do not suddenly stop allopathy- always taper under observation -Ayurveda can reduce side effects, rebuild strength and improve quality of life, but it must be personalised -mind, body, and environment healing together will help you regain stability -your desire to overcome this and contribute to the world is your biggest strength- hold onto it.

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

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.

Hello Prashant, I understand that you are dealing with a lot right now. The symptoms you mentioned are due to prolonged use of antipsychotics,so first consult your psychiatric to taper the dose of antipsychotics. Don’t worry,this too shall pass. With proper guidance and strong will power, you will get back in power. I recommend the following treatment - 1.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

Prashant ji, thank you for bravely sharing your experience. What you’re going through sounds incredibly intense and painful — physically, mentally, and emotionally. The symptoms you describe (severe anxiety, mouth spasms, speech issues, extreme tiredness) along with your concern about indirect exposure to substances are serious and deserve both compassion and clear, supportive guidance. Let’s break this down step by step to help you find stability and strength:

Find a compassionate psychiatrist (ideally holistic/integrative) to:

Review and possibly taper down the antipsychotics safely (NEVER stop suddenly). Treat neurological side effects with agents like propranolol, benztropine, or VMAT2 inhibitors (used for tardive dyskinesia). Request blood tests for liver/kidney function, vitamin B12, D3, thyroid, and drug levels to check your metabolic response.

2. Integrate Ayurveda and Natural Support : It’s very promising that you saw benefit with Ayurveda. Many have found support in balancing the system through:

1.Ashwagandha or Brahmi (for anxiety & nervous system). 2.Mucuna Pruriens (Kapikacchu) – helps naturally replenish dopamine, which is often depleted by antipsychotics.

Panchakarma detox therapies under an expert’s supervision.

3. Handling Perceived Environmental Contamination:

Your concerns about indirect, smart contamination (via air, water, nano-level exposure) are not uncommon among those experiencing high anxiety, medication effects, or trauma. Whether or not there’s physical contamination, the experience is real to your body and nervous system.

Tools That Help in These Cases: Grounding therapy – Walk barefoot on grass, hold natural objects, focus on physical touch sensations. This trains the mind to separate real vs perceived threats. Reality-based mindfulness – Ask: “Can I test this?” or “Can I see clear cause-effect evidence for this suspicion?” EMF & air quality monitors – If you suspect environmental contamination, use objective tools to validate or ease concerns. Reassurance must come from reality checks.

4. Building a Life Beyond the Pain:

Once health stabilizes, you can transform your pain into purpose, like:

Creating an awareness blog or video channel on mental health, alternative healing, and suppressed talent. Collaborating with supportive communities (e.g., MindFreedom, Open Dialogue approach, Ayurveda researchers). Learning public speaking or content creation slowly, with speech therapy support if needed.

Thank you!

Addressing severe anxiety and related issues due to prolonged use of antipsychotics involves a multi-dimensional approach in Ayurveda. First, understand that severe anxiety indicates a possible imbalance in the Vata dosha, specifically Prana Vayu, which governs the mind and nervous system. Blending traditional Ayurvedic practices with lifestyle modifications could help restore your natural balance.

Begin by focusing on your diet. Favor warm, cooked, and easy-to-digest foods. Incorporate ghee to your meals, as its unctuousness calms Vata. Include sweet, sour, and salty tastes, as they balance Vata, while reducing bitter, pungent, and astringent flavors. Herbal teas made of ashwagandha, brahmi, and licorice can be calming. Ashwagandha is particularly recommended for its adaptogenic properties, supporting the nervous system and reducing stress.

Daily self-massage (Abhyanga) with warm sesame oil can be beneficial. The body massage helps pacify Vata, calming the nervous system. A regular routine is important — wake up and sleep at the same times each day. Practice deep breathing and meditation for calming the mind, possibly incorporating pranayama techniques such as Nadi Shodhana.

Check your environment for potential sources of indirect exposure to unwanted substances, and use air purifiers or water filters if necessary. Discuss with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner regarding any Rasayana therapy or Panchakarma you might consider for deeper detoxification when your condition permits.

It’s crucial to continue working closely with a healthcare provider, especially considering your history of severe symptoms. Ayurvedic therapies should be complementary to ongoing care, ensuring they pose no interference with your current medical regime. Ensure safe and professionally overseen transitions when modifying any medication or therapeutic approach.

Dr. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

When dealing with the aftereffects of long-term antipsychotic use, especially the severe anxiety, tiredness, mouth spasms, and speech issues you’re experiencing, it’s critical to address these concerns holistically through both modern and traditional healing methods. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these symptoms may indicate an imbalance in vata and pitta doshas, often exacerbated by medication effects.

First, calming the nervous system is essential. Consider incorporating herbal preparations such as Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), which are traditionally used to reduce vata disturbances and support a calmer mind. Use these in recommended doses as guided by a practitioner.

Paying attention to your diet can mitigate possible side effects of medications. Favor a vata-pacifying diet – warm, cooked foods with healthy fats like ghee or sesame oil may help stabilize your mood and energy levels. Avoid overly spicy, bitter, or astringent tastes, which can aggravate vata and pitta.

Consider practices like abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, to soothe the nervous system and reduce tension in muscles, including mouth spasms. Gentle yoga or meditation can also help in maintaining balance, promoting relaxation and improving speech pattern over time.

If you suspect environmental contamination is playing a role, work with both your local health officials and an Ayurvedic consultant to ensure your living environment supports your health as much as possible. Maintaining a clean and peaceful space can enhance the benefits of your daily practices.

Note: Severe anxiety and medication side effects like spasms can be serious. It’s important to work alongside a healthcare professional to ensure you’re getting appropriate treatment and monitoring. In emergencies or life-threatening situations, seek medical assistance immediately. Always keep all healthcare providers informed about your Ayurvedic interventions, as they might influence Western medication.

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

Dr. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.
