Doctors’ responses

Yes, absolutely. Ojas is the essence of all the dhatus (tissues) and is not fixed; it can be depleted by stress, irregular food/sleep, overexertion, excess sexual activity, chronic illness, or negative emotions. But it can also be restored with the right ahara (diet), vihara (lifestyle), manas (mental state), and aushadhi (herbs/rasayanas). At 38, your dhatu-agni (tissue metabolism) is still strong enough to rebuild ojas if nourished properly.

Some ojas-building practices:

Diet: warm, unctuous, fresh, sattvic food (milk, ghee, soaked almonds, dates, mung dal, fresh fruits, seasonal vegetables).

Herbs/Rasayana: Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Yashtimadhu, Guduchi, Chyawanprash.

Lifestyle: Regular sleep, prana-rich breathing, meditation, calm mind, positive emotions.

Dr. Sanchi Damodhar
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.

Hlw Roshan ji,

✅ Can Ojas Be Replenished at 38?

Yes. Ojas is not permanently lost unless there is serious chronic illness or trauma. At 38, you are still in the pitta phase of life, and with the right diet, lifestyle, herbs, and spiritual discipline, ojas can be rebuilt.

Rx 1.tab Ashwagandha 1-1 – for ojas and vata

2. Shatavari churn 5gm-5gm with water– cooling and nourishing

3.Brahmi vati 2-2 – calms prana vayu

4. Chyawanprash – daily rejuvenative

Diet:

Eat: warm, oily, fresh foods; ghee, milk (if digestible), dates, soaked almonds, mung dal, rice.

Avoid: dry, spicy, fermented, leftover food.

🔹 Daily Routine

Wake before sunrise Abhyanga: self-massage with warm sesame oil Light exercise or yoga Pranayama: Nadi Shodhana, Bhramari (5–10 min) Meditation: daily, heart-centered

This treatment focuses on rebuilding ojas, balancing the five vayus, and clearing heat and heaviness in the heart center.

Thank You !

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.

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.

Yes, Ojas can be replenished at any age provided you protect Agni (digestive fire) and nourish body–mind properly. • Ojas is not a “fixed stock”; it is the refined essence of dhatus (tissues) formed daily when digestion and metabolism are balanced. • By 38, with stress, irregular lifestyle, chronic illness, or disturbed Vata–Pitta, Ojas may reduce which leads to hot flashes, chest heaviness, anxiety, fatigue, disturbed sleep. • So rejuvenation (Rasayana Chikitsa) is very relevant for you.

Daily Rasayana :- • Chyawanprash - 1 tsp daily morning • Ashwagandha powder 1 tsp with warm milk • Shatavari kalpa - 1 tsp at night • Brahmi Vati - 1 tab twice daily

Foods to Favor • Almonds (soaked, peeled), dates, raisins, ghee, rice, moong dal khichdi. • Sweet, cooling fruits (pomegranate, grapes). • Avoid too much chilli, sour, fried, coffee.

Lifestyle • Abhyanga (warm sesame + a little Brahmi oil) on chest and body. • Meditation • Yoga asanas: Bhujangasana, Setubandhasana, Anulom–Vilom pranayama. • Sleep before 11 PM

• If chest heaviness worsens with exertion or feels like pressure - rule out cardiac cause. • If hot flashes are frequent with irregular cycles - check thyroid, hormones, perimenopause status.

Hello Roshan

Your awareness about Ojas and Vayu balance is wonderful . Ayurveda clearly says – Ojas can be replenished at any age, provided proper diet, lifestyle, and mind balance are followed.

There are Actually 2 types of Ojas 1 Para Ojas Quantity- only 8 drops (अष्ट बिन्दु) in the heart. Location- Hridaya (heart). It maintains life force, mental stability, immunity, and vitality.

2. Apara Ojas Quantity about half Anjali pramana (~10–15 ml). Location circulates throughout the body via Rasa dhatu. it provides strength, stamina, glow, fertility, immunity, and protects against disease.

👉This is the part we can increase, nourish, and replenish through food, herbs, rasayanas, and lifestyle.

✅IN EASY TERMS

☑️Para Ojas = fixed, very subtle essence of life (cannot be increased, only preserved).

☑️Apara Ojas = the part that can be nourished with right ahara (food), vihara (lifestyle), and aushadhi (herbs).

👉When Ojas is low, one may feel fatigue, anxiety, poor immunity, and lack of stability.

✅AYURVEDIC TREATMEMT FOR NOURISHING OJAS

1. DIET ENHANCING OJAS-

👉Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or ashwagandha powder. 👉Dates, soaked almonds, ghee, saffron, moong dal khichdi, fresh seasonal fruits. 👉Avoid excessive fasting, very spicy, dry, or packaged food.

2. Herbal support

1 Chyawanprash 1 tsp morning empty stomach followed by warm. Water (classic Rasayana for building Ojas.) 2 Ashwagandharistha 30ml-0-30 ml after food

✅ Lifestyle & Mind:

👉Pranayama: Anulom Vilom, Bhramari, and gentle deep breathing – balance all Vayus. 👉Meditation & chanting – especially Om and meditation to calm chest heaviness. 👉Sleep is the best restorer of Ojas. Ensure early bedtime.

Roshan ji, please be assured – Ojas is never lost completely. It can always be replenished with right food, herbs, and lifestyle.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

🌿Ojas is the essence of all bodily tissues. Include ghee, soaked almonds, warm milk with brahmi in your diet. If you are a non-vegetarian, then add bone broth to your monthly planner. Do daily abhyanga with medicated oil, it will help in immunity and vayu regulation.

1. Chyavanaprasha 1 tsp daily at evening with milk.

Replenishing ojas is possible at age 38, as the process is not strictly limited by age. However, it may require a more dedicated and consistent approach than it would for a younger person. The heaviness and heat you feel in your chest could be a sign of disturbed vaata or an imbalance in your vaayus, but it’s not a definitive sign of ojas depletion. It’s more likely related to the movement of apana vaayu, which is responsible for downward flow, moving upwards. ​Understanding Ojas and Vaayu ​Ojas is considered the essence of vitality and immunity in Ayurveda. It’s the byproduct of complete digestion and proper assimilation of all seven dhatus (tissues). While the body naturally produces ojas, lifestyle factors like stress, poor diet, and lack of rest can lead to its depletion.
​Vaayu (air) is one of the three doshas (fundamental energies) in Ayurveda and is responsible for all movement in the body. It’s divided into five sub-types, known as the five vaayus: ​Prana Vaayu: Governs the intake of food, air, and sensory experiences; located in the head, chest, and heart. ​Udana Vaayu: Controls speech, effort, and upward movements; located in the throat and chest. ​Vyana Vaayu: Governs circulation and all-pervading movements; located throughout the entire body. ​Samana Vaayu: Controls digestion and assimilation; located in the stomach and small intestine. ​Apana Vaayu: Responsible for downward movements, such as excretion and urination; located in the pelvic region. ​The heaviness and heat you describe in your chest could indicate an upward movement of apana vaayu, which is meant to move downwards. This reversal of flow can cause various symptoms, including chest discomfort and feeling hot. It could also indicate an imbalance of prana vaayu, which is seated in the chest. ​Steps to Replenish Ojas and Balance Vaayus ​1. Dietary Adjustments 🍎 ​To replenish ojas, you should focus on a diet of nourishing, easily digestible foods.
​Include: Ghee, milk, dates, almonds, avocados, and root vegetables.
​Avoid: Processed foods, cold and raw foods, and anything that is difficult to digest.
​Hydrate: Drink warm water with a squeeze of lemon or ginger. ​2. Lifestyle Changes 🛌 ​Prioritize Sleep: Ensure you get at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Sleep is crucial for the body’s repair and regeneration, which includes ojas production.
​Stress Management: Incorporate stress-reducing practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises (pranayama), and gentle yoga.
​3. Herbal Support 🌿 ​Certain Ayurvedic herbs are known to help with ojas replenishment and vaayu balancing.
​Ashwagandha: Known as a powerful rejuvenative herb, it helps with stress reduction and can support ojas production.
​Shatavari: Considered a nourishing herb, especially for women, it helps to build ojas.
​Triphala: A mix of three fruits, this herb can help with overall digestion and detoxification, which indirectly supports ojas production and balances vaayu.

​4. Bodywork and Therapy 💆

HELLO ROSHAN,

1) OJAS AT AGE 38

-NATURE OF OJAS= it is the Sara(essence) of all 7 dhatus (tissues). when digestion (agni) works properly, each tissue is nourished-> finally Ojas is formed.

-AT 38= according to Ayurveda, this is still Madhya vaya (middle age), where pitta is naturally dominant. Vata starts becoming more unstable, but Ojas can absolutely be replenished because the body is still strong in tissue metabolism

-DEPLETION SIGNS= fatigue, anxiety, dryness, hot flashes, lack of enthusiasm, weak immunity, disturbed sleep, feeling of “Emptiness”

Your chest heaviness and hot flashes indicate Ojas kshaya + pitta aggravation + vata disturbance

2) UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHEST SYMPTOMS

-CHEST HEAVINESS= prana vayu (controls respiration, heart, chest, emotions) is disturbed. Vyana Vayu (circulation) not flowing smoothly -> heaviness

-HEAT IN CHEST= suggest pitta trapped in the heart region , mixing with vata

-APANA VAYU MOVING UPWARDS= normally apana governs downward elimination. when disturbed, it pushes upward (udavarta), disturbing prana Vayu-> anxiety, chest pressure, palpitations, burping, irregular breathing

So, the root imbalance= vata deranged in all 5 subtypes+ pitta aggravation -> Ojas depletion

3) BALANCING THE FIVE VAYUS

1) PRANA VAYU= (present in head, chest, respiration) Disturbance in you= heaviness, anxiety, heat Balancing measures= nadi sodhana, bhramari Pranayama, instill 2 does of brahmi ghee in each nostril daily morning for 21 days

2) UDANA VAYU= (present in speech, chest, upward movement) Disturbance in you = hot flashes, upward heat, blocked feeling Balancing measures= chanting, meditation, warm ghee with milk, grounding foods

3) SAMANA VAYU= (present in digestion) Disturbance in you= heat, fluctuations Balancing measures= regular meals, avoid spicy, sour , have ginger fennel tea

4) VYANA VAYU= (present in circulation, heart) Disturbance in you= chest heaviness, restlessness Balancing measures= daily oil massage, gentle yoga, regular routine

5)APANA VAYU= (present in elimination, grounding) Disturbance in you= reversed movement, upward pressure Balancing measures= basti therapy, regular bowel movement, grounding foods like rice, urad dal, ghee

4) DIET FOR OJAS AND VATA-PITTA BALANCE -warm, unctous, lightly spiced meals -cow’s ghee best Ojas tonic -warm milk with a pinch of turmeric, nutmeg, or saffron -soaked almonds, dates, raisins -moong dal khichdi with ghee -wheat, rice, barley -sweet juicy fruits= pomegranate, grapes, chiknoo, pears, figs -Mild spices= cumin, fennel, coriander, cardamom

AVOID -dry, stale, frozen foods -excess spicy, sour, fermented foods -coffee, alcohol, excess tea -excess raw food or salads -skipping meals or fasting aggresively

5) RASAYANA AND OJAS BUILDERS

-CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp with warm milk daily in morning =daily with warm milk

-ASHWAGANDHA LEHYA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =strengthen dhatus, and calm vata

-BRAHMA RASAYANA= 1 tsp at night =enhances memory, vitality, Ojas

-GHEE + WARM MILK daily at night= direct Ojas nourishment

6) DAILY ROUTINE

MORNING -wake before sunrise but not too early if weak -warm sesame oil massage daily followed by warm water bath -NASYA= instill 2 drops of brahmi ghee in nostril -gentle yoga= suryanamaskar 3-5 rounds, vajrasana, balasana -Pranayam= nadi sodhana 9 rounds, bhramari - 5 rounds

DAYTIME -eat lunch as main meal 12-1 pm -avoid stress, excessive thinking, long screen hours -walk after meals for digestion

EVENING -light dinner soup, khichdi before 8 pm -gentle walk or chanting -self massage of feet with warm oil

NIGHT -warm milk with ghee/nutmeg/saffron -sleep by 10 pm

7) PANCHAKARMA if possible -Snehapana - rebuilds Ojas -Basti chikitsa- best for vata balance -Sirodhara- calms prana vayu -Nasya with medicated ghee

8) MIND AND OJAS -Ojas is depleted not only by wrong diet, but also by emotions (anger, grief, anxiety) -cultivate sattva= mantra japa, meditativo, bhajan, grounding routines -chanting “so-ham” with breath is excellent for prana vayu and heart centre

-At 38, you can definitely replenish Ojas -your symptom= vata all 5 subtypes + pitta aggravation-> Ojas kshaya -soulution= Ojas building diet, rasayana , oil massage, pranayama and panchakarma -regular routine + sattvik lifestyle restores balance in vayus and strengthen Ojas

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Replenishing Ojas at age 38 is definitely possible with right approach based in Ayurveda. Ojas, essentially essence of all dhatus, can be compromised due to lifestyle, stress, or improper diet. Ensuring balanced diet rich in nutritious and sattvic foods like fresh fruits, ghee, milk, and well-cooked whole grains is foundational. Including herbs such as Ashwagandha and Shatavari can support the rebuilding of ojas, providing necessary strength and immunity.

Chest heaviness and heat you are feeling might relate to an imbalance in Pitta, which can sometimes lead to movement of Apana Vayu in upward direction, however it could also indicate depletion of ojas that both Pitta and Vata can affect this. An imbalanced Apana can indeed disturb other vayus, as each interconnect in unique way. It’s important to address the root cause first. To pacify your vayus, practices like Pranayama can be crucial allowing you to guide and calm the flow of energy throughout your body.

Start with Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) to balance the nervous system. Simple, grounding techniques such as Vata-pacifying yoga postures (like child’s pose or forward bends) can also help settle the vayus. Consider end-ing day with grounding rituals, like Abhyanga (self-massage) using warm sesame oil which helps stabilize Vata and promote ojas restoration.

Your diet should avoid overly spicy, caffeinated or processed foods that may aggravate vata-pitta doshas. Also, try sipping warm herbal teas infused with ginger, licorice or fennel that can soothe your system. Ensure to maintain a routine, getting adequate sleep each night, as rest is pivotal in rebuilding ojas.

If symptoms persist however, please do not hesitate to consult with a professional Ayurvedic practitioner for a more detailed analysis of your dosha constitution and vayu disturbances.

HELLO ROSHAN,

Ojas (essence of all dhatus) can be replenished at any age, including 38, through proper diet, lifestyle, and mind balance

Heaviness in chest + heat may indicate prana-apana vayu imbalance (udana obstruction, pitta aggravation) rather than just “Ojas depletion”

Disturbed vayus often come from stress, irregular habits, excessive mental work, or improper diet

MANAGEMENT

1) DIET= Ojas building -favour sattvik, ojasic foods -warm milk with ghee and a pinch of turmeric or nutmeg -almonds (soaked , peeled), dates, figs -freshly cooked rice, mung dal khichdi -cow ghee, fresh seasonal fruits grapes, pomegranate

AVOID= excess spicy, fried, fermented foods, stimulants coffee, alcohol

2) LIFESTYLE -regular sleep early to bed, early to rise -pranayam= especially nadi sodhana (alternate nostril) and Ujjayi for balancing prana and apana -Gentle yoga= Sushma yayama, chest opening asanas= bhujangasana, matsyasana -Meditation/mantra japa to stabilize manovaha srotas mind channels

3) AUSHADI -CHYAWANPRASHA AVALEHA= 2 tsp with warm milk morning and evening

-ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 5 gm with warm milk at bedtime

-SARASWATARISHTA= 15 ml with equal water after meals

-BALA TAILA for daily warm oil massage before bath

-ARJUNARISHTA= 15 ml with equal water after meals if chest heaviness persist

-DASHMOOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily vata pacifier

-Yes, Ojas can be replenished at 38 and beyond -chest heaviness + heat more likely due to Vayu-pitta disturbance than Ojas loss alone -All vayus can be harmonised with consistent diet, lifestyle, pranayam, herbs, and rasayana therapy

THANK YOU

Yes, it’s certainly possible to replenish ojas at age 38. Ojas, as you may know, is considered the essence of vitality and immunity in Ayurvedic practice, and nurturing it can have profound effects on overall well-being. The feeling of heaviness in the chest, along with heat, could be indicative of either an imbalance in apana vayu or depletion of ojas, as these symptoms are often interconnected.

To address these concerns, we should start by focusing on the nourishment and stability of your ojas. This involves a holistic approach that includes diet, lifestyle, and possibly some specific herbal formulations.

Start with your diet: incorporate foods that are wholesome and nourishing such as almonds, ghee, dates, and warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom. These are grounding and ojas-enhancing. At the same time, minimize overly spicy, processed, and fast foods which may exacerbate pitta and disturb the vayu further.

For balancing the vayu, particularly apana vayu which governs the downward and outward flow of energy, practices like regularity in daily routine, gentle yoga, and pranayama can be quite effective. A simple practice like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) helps in balancing all the vayus. Perform this daily for about 10-15 minutes, preferably in the morning or before bed.

Additionally, Abhyanga (self-massage with warm sesame oil) regularly can soothe the vata dosha, hence stabilizing the vayu network in the body. Do this before a warm shower, allowing the oil to penetrate the skin for at least 15-20 minutes.

As for herbal formulations, ashwagandha or bala are traditionally used to support ojas and enhance vitality. However, it would be advisable to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new supplements, to tailor the advice to your specific constitution and current imbalances.

Observe how your body responds to these changes over a few weeks. If heavy, persistent chest discomfort or heat persists, consulting a healthcare provider is crucial to rule out any serious conditions. Overall, while it might require some patience and consistency, nurturing your ojas and balancing the vayu is quite achievable with these steps.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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. 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.
