Dr. Khushboo
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. 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 am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

​Potential Medical Reasons for Your Symptoms ​Fast Heartbeat After Eating: This is a common experience called postprandial tachycardia. It can be caused by the body redirecting blood flow to the digestive system, which can increase the heart rate. Certain foods, like those high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, sodium, caffeine, or spicy ingredients, can also trigger palpitations. In some cases, it can be related to underlying conditions like low blood sugar, high blood pressure, or a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation.

​Feeling of Heartbeat in Other Parts of the Body: The sensation of your heartbeat in your head, chin, or “third eye” area can be related to heightened awareness of your pulse. This can be caused by various factors, including anxiety, stress, or a rapid heart rate.

​Choking Sensation and Difficulty Swallowing (Dysphagia): This is a serious symptom that needs immediate medical evaluation. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, including:

​Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus can cause irritation, a feeling of a lump in the throat, and difficulty swallowing.

​Neurological disorders: Conditions that affect the nervous system, like a stroke or Parkinson’s disease, can impair the muscles used for swallowing.

​Structural issues: A blockage or narrowing in the throat or esophagus. ​Bulge in the Chin Area: This could be related to swollen lymph nodes, a salivary gland issue, or other underlying conditions.

​Tooth Pain and its Connection to the Heart: There is a known link between dental health and heart health. Infections in the mouth, like a tooth abscess, can allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream and potentially affect the heart. In some cases, severe tooth pain, especially on the left side, can be a symptom of a heart attack, as the pain can radiate from the chest to the jaw.

​General Information from an Ayurvedic Perspective ​In Ayurveda, a fast heartbeat and related symptoms are often associated with an imbalance of the Vata and Pitta doshas. ​Vata Dosha: Vata governs movement in the body, including the circulation of blood and the nervous system. An aggravated Vata can lead to feelings of anxiety, palpitations, and irregular movements, like the sensation of your heart beating in different parts of your body. ​Pitta Dosha: Pitta governs digestion and metabolism. An imbalanced Pitta can lead to excessive heat and acidity, which can manifest as a fast heartbeat, especially after a meal. ​Ayurvedic Recommendations (for general wellness, to be used in conjunction with medical advice): ​Dietary Adjustments: ​Avoid Vata and Pitta-aggravating foods: This includes spicy, fried, and processed foods, as well as excessive caffeine, alcohol, and refined sugars. ​Favor grounding and soothing foods: Focus on warm, cooked, and easy-to-digest foods like soups, stews, and porridges. Incorporate healthy fats like ghee. ​Eat at regular times: Irregular eating habits can disrupt the digestive fire (Agni) and contribute to doshic imbalances. ​ ​Lifestyle Practices: ​Stress Management: Practices like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing (Pranayama) can help calm the nervous system and reduce stress, which can be a major factor in palpitations. ​Regular Routine: Maintaining a consistent daily routine for eating, sleeping, and waking can help balance the doshas. ​Gentle Exercise: Activities like walking and gentle yoga can improve circulation and reduce stress without over-exerting the body. ​ Treatment Tab arjuna 1 tab 2 times after food Tab brahmi -1 tab 2 times after food

I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

HELLO RAJ KUMARI,

I hear your concern. The symptoms you describe- fast heartbeat , choking feeling while lying down, difficulty swallowing saliva, bulge- like sensation, tooth pain, and palpitations, worsening after food- need urgent evaluation by a cardiologist and ENT to rule out heart rhythm issues, thyroid enlargement, reflux, or other condition. please do not delay medical check up, especially since this has been going on for 2+ years

POSSIBLE AYURVEDIC VIEW -palpitations, choking , restlessness-> often linked to vata-pitta imbalance -symptoms after eating- suggests weak digestion, acid reflux -tooth/jaw/neck sensation= can also be related to vata disturbance and stress

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -avoid tea, coffee, alcohol, spicy, fried and heavy food -take warm, light, easily digestible mals -eat small meals, dont low down immediately after meals -maintain regular sleep, avoid late nights -practice gentle pranayam anulom vilom, bhramari for calming heart and nerves

SIMPLE REMEDIES

1) ARJUNA POWDER= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily =excellent for heart support

2) PRAVAL PISHTI= 125 mg with honey twice daily =for palpitations and pitta balance

3) TRIPHALA= 1 tsp with warm water at night = for digestive and detox

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk twice daily =nerve strengthening and reduce anxiety

5) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at night =to calm vata and reduce anxiey

DAILY PRACTICES

-Oil massage with warm sesame oil on chest and neck area -shirodhara if accessible for nervous system calming

IMPORTANT Since you have choking sensation and difficulty swallowing dont rely only on this visit Cardiologist, ENT, soon to rule out serious issues

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

Your symptoms suggest a mix of physical and possibly emotional factors affecting your well-being. Analyzing them through Ayurveda, the fast heart rate might be related to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and is responsible for fast-paced bodily functions like heart rate. Vata tends to get aggravated by irregular eating habits, stress, cold, and dry environments.

To start with, try to create a regular eating schedule, choosing warm, fresh, and easily digestible foods. Consider meals that soothe Vata like cooked vegetables, warm grains such as rice or oats, and sweet, salty, and sour tastes. Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods that may stimulate Vata further.

Drink warm water, or sip on herbal teas like ginger or tulsi, through the day to support digestion and maintain warmth. Chewing on a piece of ginger with a pinch of rock salt before meals can help enhance agni (digestive fire), potentially calming heart after meals.

For the choking sensation and difficulty swallowing, check your posture during sleep; elevating your head slightly may alleviate this. Practicing deep, slow breathing, especially before bed, can aid relaxation of both throat and chest.

To reduce Vata-related anxiety that might be behind the palpitations and sensations in your head, consider grounding practices like Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil. A gentle massage on neck and face can offer relief, potentially easing muscle tension contributing to the sensation in your chin and teeth.

However these thoughts can only substitute immediate medical attention if needed. It’s crucial to verify there’s no underlying medical cause requiring allopathic intervention for symptoms especially choking at night or tooth pain. Always consult a healthcare professional directly if symptoms persist or intensify.

The sensations you’re describing—including the fast heart rate, the feeling of choking, and the location-based palpitations—could potentially indicate an imbalance in the vata dosha, which governs movements and rhythm throughout the body. Eating can stimulate digestion, and if vata is not settled, it might lead to increased heart palpitations post-meal. Always consider visiting a healthcare professional for advice, as some symptoms can indicate conditions needing immediate attention.

In terms of Ayurveda, you may benefit from grounding your vata. Begin by maintaining a warm, consistent eating schedule, sticking to a balanced routine without skips in meals. Avoid very cold, dry, or raw foods which might aggravate vata and opt for warm, cooked meals, seasoned with spices like ginger and cumin to aid in digestion and calm your agni.

In managing the choking sensation, and the postural issues with saliva while sleeping, consider sleeping on your side with an elevated head, using a comfortable pillow. Gentle nasya therapy can be helpful as well. Administer 1-2 drops of warm sesame oil in each nostril every morning to promote the circulation of prana and support healthy respiratory activity.

The bulge and pain might indicate local inflammation or imbalance. Applying a warm paste of turmeric and water externally to the affected area might offer relief. Remember to keep your body hydrated, but sip warm water throughout the day rather than cold—it balances vata and pitta.

Blend your mornings with a grounding practice such as gentle yoga or pranayama to help stabilize your energy channels or nadis. Anulom Vilom can be beneficial here, encouraging harmonic energy flow. Ensure any dental issues are assessed by professional for timely care.

HELLO RAJ KUMARI,

You are experiencing -Fast heartbeat (palpitations) all day, worse after meals -choking sensation at night while lying down, difficult swallowing saliva -heaviness/ bulge in chin area and tooth pain left side -feeling heartbeat in unusual places like between eyebrows or chin

In modern medicine, these can happen due to -Acid reflux (GERD)= stomach acid rises after food, irritates throat-> choking, tooth pain, bulging sensation -cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heart beat)- heart misfires, creates pounding feeling -anxiety/stress with vata imbalance= exaggerates heartbeat sensation -Kapha congestion in throat/jaw area= explains heaviness/buldge

VATA AGGRAVATION= restlessness, palpitations, disturbed sleep PITTA AGGRAVATION= acid reflux, burning, choking KAPHA IMBALANCE= heaviness in throat/jaw sluggish digestion

So your case is a vata-pitta disorder with kapha involvement

TREATMENT GOALS -Calm the heart rhythm and nervous system vata shamana -control reflux and heat pitta shamana -clear throat/kapha congestion -Strengthen heart muscle -improve digestion = reduce post meal palpitations -reduce anxiety and improve sleep

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ARJUNA KSSHEERPAKA= Arjuna bark boiled in milk = 75 ml daily twice for 3 months =strengthens heart, stabilises heartbeat

2) MUKTA PISHTI= 125mg twice daily with rose water for 2 months =cooling, calming palpitations, reduces anxiety

3) BRAHMI VATI = 1 tab twice daily for 2 months =calms mind, reduces vata, helps sleep

4) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night for 6 weeks =reieves acidity, prevents reflux

EXTERNALLY

NASYA= 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Regular routine= fixed sleep and meal timings -early dinner by 7-8 pm to avoid reflux at night -elevate head end pf bed slightly.= prevents choking -avoid excessive talking after meals give digestion some rest -daily massage + warm bath to balance vata

YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana= after meals, improve digestion -setu badhasana= bridge pose, strengthens chest -Shavasana= deep relaxation

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances energy, calms heart -bhramari= reduces palpitations, anxiety

MEDITATION -mental calmness

DIET -warm, soft, easily digestible foods= moong dal khichdi,steamed vegetables, fennel -cow’s ghee in small quantity= calms vata and pitta -Coraidner or cumin water for digestion

AVOID -Spicy, oily ,fried food -excess tea, coffe, alcohol -late night heavy meals

HOME REMEDIES -1 warm soft, easily digestible food= moong dal khichdi, steamed vegetables, gourds, pumpkin, cardamon, rice, fennel -cardamom + fennel seeds tea after a palpitation -Licroce and fennel seeds tea throat irritation

-Your condition is not uncommon- many people get palpitations, after food due to combined digestive and nerves daily

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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. 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. 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. 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. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

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. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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.
