hello zara,

I understand how stressful and overwhelming this must feel for you. Dealing with PCOS, weight gain, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, hair and skin issues, and vitamin deficiencies together can feel like your body is working against you. Essentially, your body is in a state of hormonal and metabolic imbalance, which is causing irregular periods, insulin resistance, and inflammation. The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, regulate periods, improve nutrient levels, support fertility, and restore energy.

Step 1: Ama Pachana (Detox & Digestion Support – 3–5 days) Triphala Churna – 5 g at night with warm water. Improves digestion and detoxifies. Trikatu Churna – 1 g with warm water, twice daily. Helps reduce Kapha and Ama (metabolic toxins).

Step 2: Internal Medicines (Hormonal Balance & Fertility Support) Shatavari Churna / Tablet – 3–5 g with warm milk daily. Supports ovarian function, fertility, and lactation. Kachnaar Guggul – 2 tablets twice daily after meals. Reduces excess androgen, helps regulate periods, and supports weight management. Ashwagandha Churna / Tablet – 500 mg at night with warm milk. Reduces stress, improves sleep, and supports energy. Guduchi Churna / Tablet – 500 mg twice daily with warm water. Reduces systemic inflammation and boosts immunity. Step 3: External Therapy (Optional but Helpful) Abhyanga with Mahanarayan Oil – Daily or 3–4 times a week. Improves circulation, reduces stress, and supports metabolic health.

Dietary Suggestions

Include high-fiber foods: leafy greens, legumes, whole grains. Include protein: paneer, eggs, nuts, seeds, lentils. Avoid refined sugars, deep-fried foods, processed carbs, and excess dairy. Include anti-inflammatory foods: turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, garlic. Drink plenty of warm water to support detoxification.

Investigations (Recommended)

Hormonal profile: LH, FSH, Testosterone, DHEAS, Prolactin Vitamin D and B12 levels (repeat as needed) HbA1c / Fasting insulin for metabolic assessment Ultrasound pelvis for ovarian morphology

Lifestyle & Supportive Measures

Yoga / Exercise: brisk walking, HIIT 20–30 min daily, yoga asanas like Surya Namaskar, Bhujangasana, Dhanurasana, Setu Bandhasana. Sleep hygiene: aim for 7–8 hours; avoid screens before bed. Stress management: meditation, breathing exercises, journaling.

If you follow this treatment consistently for 3–6 months, you should see:

Reduction in inflammation and facial hair Regularization of periods Weight loss and improved energy Improved fertility chances

Remember, consistency is key, and combining Ayurvedic medicines, diet, and lifestyle changes will give the best results.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO ZARA,

You are suffering from Polycystic ovarian syndrome

In Ayurveda, -Kapha is increased-> leads to cysts, weight gain, sluggish metabolism -Vata is disturbed-> causes irregular periods, infertility, insomnia, anxiety -Pitta is aggravated-> hairfall, facial hair, inflammation -Ama (toxins) has accumulated -> causes low energy, poor digestion, insulin resistance

That’s why you see -weight gain especially around belly, hips -irregular or absent periods -hairfall, excess facial hair -low energy, poor sleep -trouble conceiving

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce kapha= break cysts, reduce weight, improve metabolism -Balance vata= regulate periods, improve ovulation, better sleep -remove ama (toxins)= improve digestion, reduce insulin resistance -rasayana=nourish uterus, improve fertility

INVESTIGATION (before and during treatment) -Hormonal panel= LH, FSH, AMH, Testosterone, Prolactin, TSH -ultrasound pelvis= cysts/uterus lining -Metabolic tests= fasting insulin, blood sugar, lipid profile -Nutritional= vitamin D, B12, Ferritin -General=CBC, ESR, CRP (inflamamtion)

PHASE 1 OF TREATMENT= SODHANA (cleansing and detox) Goal= remove ama, reduce kapha and pitta, prepare body for fertility

-TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs after meals =reduces weight, clears ama

-KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs after meals =shirnks ovarian cyst

-PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 2 tabs with warm water after meals = reduce water retention, inflammation

Duration= 6-8 weeks

PHASE 2= SHAMAN (balancing hormones and periods) Goal= regulate cycles, improve ovulation, balance vata and pitta

-SHATAVARI GRANULES= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =female hormone supprt

-ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals =regulates cycle

-ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 500 mg twice daily after meals =energy, sleep, stress reduction

-HARIDRA + AMLA= 1 tsp each in warm water anti-inflammatory

Duration= 2-3 months after phase 1

PHASE 3= RASAYANA (rejuvination and fertility support) Goal= nourish uterus, strengthen ovulation, prepare for conception

-PHALA GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk early morning =fertility rasayana

-SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp twice daily with milk =nourishes female system

-PUTRANJIVAKA SEEDD CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water in morning for conception

LIFESTYLE -Brahmacharya (avoiding excess stress, irregular routines ) -gentle yoga and pranayam

DURATION= 3-6 months until conception

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Sleep= fix routine 10:30 pm- 6:30 am. warm milk with nutmeg or brahmi tea at night helps insomnia -Exercise= 30-40 mins daily= brisk walk, yoga, avoid sitting long hours -Sun exposure= morning sunlight for Vit D -Stress reduction= meditation, chanting, journaling

DIET -light, warm, freshly cooked food -grains= barley, old rice, massor dal -vegetables= gourds, spinach, broccoli, methi, drumstick -fruits= pomegranate, papaya, apple, guava -spices= turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, fenugreek, black pepper -fats= small ghee, sesame oil, flax seeds

AVOID -heavy, oily, deep fried, bakery items -curd, cheese, milkshakes -white sugar, packaged foods, cold drinks -daytime sleep increases kapha

HOME REMEDIES -Fenugreek seed tea= soaked overnight, boil and drink = improves insulin sensitivity -Cinnamon powder (1/2 tsp/ day)= helps ovulation -Aloe vera juive (10-15 ml )= balances hormones -Turmeric + black pepper milk= reduces inflammation

YOGA ASANAS -suryanamaskar= metabolism -malasava= pelvic circulation -setu bandhasana= hormony balance -bhujangasana= uterus stimulation -dhanurasana= improves ovarian function

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances hormones -Kapalbhati= reduces kapha, obesity -Bhramari= calms mind, helps sleep

-PCOS is reversible with consistent Ayurvedic approach -expect improvement phase by phase not overnight -2-3 months-> better digestion, weight control, more energy -4-6 months-> cycles more regular, reduced hairfall, better sleep -6- 12 months-> fertility improves , changes of conception increase

Ayurveda focuses not only on removing disease but also on restoring balance, fertility, and long term health Patience and discipline are key

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

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.

According to Ayurveda, high inflammation and PCOS are often linked to an imbalance of the doshas, primarily Vata and Kapha. The goal is to restore this balance, which can help regulate hormones, manage weight, and improve fertility. The symptoms you describe—weight gain, facial hair, hair fall, low energy, and insomnia—are often seen as manifestations of this imbalance.

Understanding the Ayurvedic Perspective PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): In Ayurveda, PCOS is often viewed as a Kapha-Vata imbalance. Kapha is related to the accumulation of ama (toxins), leading to weight gain and cyst formation. Vata governs the nervous system and hormonal balance, and its imbalance can cause irregular periods and anxiety.

Inflammation: This is often attributed to an excess of Pitta dosha, which governs metabolism and digestion. However, it can also be a result of ama (toxins) accumulation, which obstructs the body’s channels and triggers an inflammatory response.

Ayurvedic Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations Diet (Ahar) 🥑 Prioritize a Kapha-Pacifying Diet: Focus on foods that are light, warm, and easy to digest.

Incorporate: Leafy greens, bitter vegetables like bitter gourd, and light grains like millets and quinoa.

Reduce: Cold, heavy, oily, and processed foods, as well as dairy products (especially yogurt and cheese), red meat, and sugary drinks, which can increase Kapha and inflammation.

Spices: Use spices like turmeric (a potent anti-inflammatory), ginger, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon to aid digestion and boost metabolism.

Lifestyle (Vihar) 🧘‍♀️ Exercise: Regular physical activity, especially yoga, can help balance Kapha, improve circulation, and reduce weight. Focus on poses that stimulate the abdominal area and reproductive organs.

Recommended Yoga Poses: Sun Salutations, Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), and Dhanurasana (Bow Pose).

Sleep: Establish a regular sleep schedule. Aim to go to bed before 10 PM and wake up with the sunrise. Insomnia is a Vata imbalance, and a consistent routine can help.

Stress Management: High stress levels can disrupt hormonal balance. Incorporate meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana), and mindfulness into your daily routine.

Addressing Specific Concerns Weight Loss: The Kapha-pacifying diet and regular exercise are key. The goal is to improve metabolism (Agni) and reduce the accumulation of ama.

Regular Periods: A balanced diet, stress reduction, and specific herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha can help regulate the menstrual cycle.

Fertility: When the doshas are in balance, and the body’s systems are functioning optimally, fertility naturally improves. The lifestyle changes and herbs mentioned above are aimed at creating a healthy environment for conception.

Vitamin D & B12: While Ayurveda focuses on the root cause, you should also address these deficiencies through diet and sun exposure.

Vitamin D: Spend 15-20 minutes in the morning sun. Include foods like mushrooms in your diet.

Vitamin B12: Incorporate fermented foods and consider supplements under medical supervision, as B12 is not readily available in most plant-based food

1) Shatavari Leha-1tsf- before food with warm milk 2 times

2) Pushyanuga Churna-2gm + Laghumalini Vasant Rasa-500mg + Svarnamakshika Bhasma-100mg + Pravala pishti-100mg - before food with water 2 times

3) chandra prabha vati before food 2 times 4) ashokarishta 3 tsf after food 3 times

☑️Day 1–14 (Follicular phase): 1 tbsp ground flax + pumpkin seeds daily.

☑️Day 15–28 (Luteal phase): 1 tbsp ground sunflower + sesame seeds daily. This helps regulate estrogen-progesterone balance naturally.

To tackle the inflammation in your body and manage PCOS, we’ll need to break it down into manageable steps, focusing on diet, lifestyle, and specific herbal aids. The first step is diet, a key cornerstone in Ayurveda, which emphasizes consuming whole, lightly cooked foods. As inflammation is commonly aggravated by excess Ama (toxins) and possibly aggravated Pitta dosha, begin with detoxifying meals like steamed greens, lentils, and khichdi, avoiding spicy, oily, or processed foods. Incorporate turmeric, ginger, and garlic about twice daily in your diet, as these are natural anti-inflamatory agents and can help regulate metabolism.

For PCOS, balancing your hormones involves nurturing a stable agni (digestive fire). Consider starting your day with a warm glass of lemon water, which helps cleanse and reset your digestive system. Avoid cold beverages and food as they can dampen your digestive fire further. When it comes to managing weight and hormone balance, ensuring regular meal timings is crucial, as irregular eating leads to imbalances in blood sugar levels, further complicating PCOS symptoms.

Under lifestyle adjustments, prioritize establishing a kaphagenic exercise routine, like brisk walking, yoga, or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day. These activities aid in reducing Kapha accumulation, promoting weight management, and improving energy. Ensuring adequate sleep is critical when dealing with insomnia; try a routine, winding down at least 2 hours before bed. This may include reading or relaxation exercises like Pranayama.

Considering your low Vitamin D and B12 levels, ensure regular exposure to morning sunlight for 15 minutes daily. Include B12-rich foods like eggs, dairy, and fortified cereals, and you might require supplements after consulting a healthcare provider. Turn to ayurvedc herbs such as Shatavari and Ashwagandha, which have been traditionaly used for balancing hormones and reducing stress. Take 1-2 teaspoons of Shatavari powder with warm milk once daily if PCOS symptoms persist.

Be aware that these recommendatons should be integrated gradually and consistently overtime for their full benefits. If pregnancy is an immediate goal, consult a healthcare professinal to incorporate Ayurveda safely alongside their guidance.

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.

Having high inflammation and PCOS can be challenging, but with a few tailored Siddha-Ayurvedic strategies, you might find some relief and balance. PCOS often involves an imbalance of the doshas, particularly kapha which can lead to weight gain and symptoms you mentioned. Here are some steps to consider:

First, diet modifications can be crucial. Emphasize foods that pacify kapha, like warm cooked foods, with spices like turmeric, ginger, cumin, and black pepper which help in reducing inflammation. Avoid heavy, oily, or excessively sweet foods which can increase kapha and inflammation.

Next, consider herbal remedies that are renowned in Siddha-Ayurveda for managing PCOS symptoms. Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Guduchi are known to assist in balancing hormones and reducing inflammation. Coordinate with a practitioner to determine specific doses suitable for your unique constitution.

Exercise is vital. Regular, moderate physical activity helps in reducing kapha and aids weight loss. Daily yoga or brisk walking for about 30 minutes could improve your energy levels and support better sleep patterns.

For the low Vitamin D and B12, supplementation might be necessary, but obtain these through a healthcare provider familiar with Siddha approaches to integrate them with your current routine. Sunshine exposure for Vitamin D can also be beneficial.

Manage stress effectively through meditation and mindfulness exercises, as stress can exacerbate hormonal imbalances.

If you’re experiencing significant health changes or considering pregnancy, it’s important to work closely with a healthcare professional to monitor your health and customize a plan that considers all factors. Balancing hormones and reducing inflammation takes time, but these steps provide a holistic framework to potentially support those changes.

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.

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. 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.

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. 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. 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. Nancy Malani
I am still early in my journey as an Ayurveda doctor, just completed my one year of rotatory internship and now practicing since about 3 months. Honestly it feels both exciting and heavy sometimes, because you want to do your best but also realize how much more there is to learn. During internship I got exposure to different departments, inpatient and OPD, hands-on with case history taking, basic Panchakarma observation, and seeing how diagnosis by dosh imbalance actually plays out in real life and not just in books. Right now along with my clinical practice, I also work as an Ayurveda consultant (remote) with Caremeez. That role is interesting in its own way — you don’t have the direct physical presence with patient, but still you guide them through symptoms, food patterns, stress issues, minor illnesses, and help them adapt Ayurvedic lifestyle solutions. Sometimes the limitation of not being able to touch pulse or do physical exam makes it tricky, but you also learn how much can be understood just by listening carefully and asking the right questions. In practice I try to keep things simple, clear and practical. No unnecessary complication for the patient. Even if it’s diet advice, I avoid long lists and instead focus on what they can actually follow. For medicines too, I stick to what is relevant, safe and time tested. I know I’m at the beginning stage, still shaping my way of treatment, sometimes correcting myself, sometimes second guessing. But I see value in that too — it makes me cautious, makes me double check before prescribing. My goal is to slowly build a practice that is balanced, where Ayurveda is not just seen as herbal medicine but as a full approach involving diet, daily routine, stress balance, detox when needed. Even in these 3 months of practice, I already see small changes in patients when they follow consistently. That’s what keeps me moving, even on days when I feel unsure or stuck.

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

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.
