​Based on the symptoms you’ve described, which include difficulty digesting fats, chronic constipation, low energy, and reduced bowel motility, an Ayurvedic perspective would likely focus on balancing your digestive fire, or Agni 🔥. In Ayurveda, weak Agni is considered the root cause of most digestive issues.

​Ayurvedic Assessment ​Weak Agni (Digestive Fire): Your inability to digest fatty and normal food, as well as the constipation, points to a sluggish digestive system. When Agni is weak, food isn’t properly broken down, leading to the formation of Ama (toxins or undigested food matter).

​Vata Dosha Imbalance: The symptoms of chronic constipation, reduced peristalsis (bowel movement), and a feeling of low energy are all classic signs of an aggravated Vata dosha. Vata governs movement in the body, including the peristaltic action of the intestines. When Vata is out of balance, this movement becomes slow or erratic.

​Pitta Dosha and Fissures: The chronic fissure and associated pain suggest an involvement of Pitta dosha, which governs heat and inflammation. The dryness from Vata and the heat from Pitta can lead to the tearing of tissue. The medicine you mentioned that caused pain might have been too heating, further aggravating the Pitta and leading to the fissure.

​Ayurvedic Recommendations ​The primary goal of an Ayurvedic treatment plan would be to rekindle your Agni, balance the Vata and Pitta doshas, and eliminate Ama.

​Dietary Adjustments ​Eat Warming, Cooked Foods: Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods. Favor warm, well-cooked meals. Steamed vegetables are good, but you can add a small amount of ghee (clarified butter) and digestive spices to make them easier to digest. ​Incorporate Healthy Fats: While you have trouble digesting fats, it’s not about eliminating them entirely but rather choosing the right ones. Use Cow Ghee or sesame oil in small amounts. These fats, when consumed with warming spices, can help lubricate the intestines and support bowel movement. ​Avoid “Heavy” Foods: Stay away from fried, processed, and excessively oily foods, which are hard on the digestive system. ​Use Digestive Spices: Add spices like ginger, cumin, coriander, and fennel to your cooking. These are known as Deepana (Agni-kindling) and Pachana (Ama-digesting) spices.

​Regular Meal Times: Eat at the same time each day to train your digestive system. Avoid snacking between meals.

​Lifestyle and Routine ​Stay Hydrated with Warm Water: Sip on warm water throughout the day. You can add a slice of ginger or a pinch of fennel seeds to it. ​Moderate Physical Activity: Gentle exercise like yoga or walking can stimulate digestion and help with peristalsis.

​Abhyanga (Self-Massage): A daily self-massage with warm sesame oil can be very beneficial for balancing Vata. The massage can help soothe the nervous system and promote regularity.

​Manage Stress: Stress is a major contributor to Vata imbalance. Incorporate practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or gentle yoga to calm the mind.

​ For Constipation: Triphala is a well-known herbal blend that is gentle and effective for chronic constipation. It works by toning the digestive tract and is a mild laxative. It is typically taken with warm water before bed.

For Agni and Ama: Herbs like Hingvastak Churna can be used to improve Agni and reduce gas and bloating. -3 gm after food 3 times aday

For Fissures: Topical application of medicated oils like Jatyadi Taila or Shatadhauta Ghrita can help soothe, heal, and lubricate the affected area.

hello mangalam ,

I understand how frustrating it feels when your digestion is weak and constipation keeps coming back. It can make you feel tired, uncomfortable, and even affect your mood and daily routine. What’s happening in your body is that the food you eat isn’t being digested properly, and some waste is staying in your intestines longer than it should. This slows down your energy, makes your bowel movements irregular, and sometimes causes bloating or discomfort. The good news is that this is very common and it can be managed effectively with proper care.

The first step is to cleanse your digestive system gently. This will help remove the toxins and give your digestive fire a chance to strengthen. Once your digestion is working better, we’ll add medicines that help your intestines move regularly and improve absorption of nutrients, so you feel more energetic and lighter. Alongside the medicines, small changes in your diet and daily habits will make a big difference.

Eating warm, cooked foods instead of raw or oily foods, drinking plenty of warm water, walking a little after meals, and keeping stress low will all support your digestive system.

During this process, it’s important to notice your bowel movements, appetite, energy levels, and sleep, because these will tell us how well the treatment is working. If constipation, bloating, or discomfort persists despite following the plan, we can consider additional therapies later to support your bowel movements further.

Remember, this plan works best when you follow it consistently and observe how your body responds. With patience and proper care, your digestion can become strong again, your energy can improve, and your bowel habits can normalize.

Treatment Plan: 1. Ama Pachana (Digestive Cleansing – First 3–5 days) Trikatu Churna – 1 g with warm water, 2 times daily before meals.

2. Internal Medications (After Ama Pachana, for 4–6 weeks) Chitrakadi Vati – 1 tablet after breakfast and 1 tablet after lunch. Haritaki Churna – 3–5 g with warm water before bedtime. Dashmoolarishta – 15 ml after lunch with equal water.

3. Supportive Panchakarma / Kriya if needed Mild Basti therapy can be considered later if constipation persists after 6 weeks.

4. Diet & Lifestyle Guidance Eat cooked, warm, easily digestible food. Include fiber from vegetables, but cooked well. Drink warm water throughout the day. Avoid fried, oily, cold, and junk foods. Light walking 10–15 minutes after meals helps bowel movement.

5. Investigations (if required) Routine CBC, LFT, RFT, blood sugar to rule out other issues. Stool routine if constipation persists.

Do’s and Don’ts : Do eat warm, cooked meals. Do drink plenty of warm water. Do walk after meals. Don’t eat fried or oily food. Don’t skip meals. Don’t consume cold beverages or ice cream. Don’t delay bowel movements. Do take medicines regularly as prescribed. Do maintain stress-free lifestyle. Do follow up after the first course (4–6 weeks).

Follow-up: After 4–6 weeks to review progress, adjust medicines, and consider Basti if needed.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO MANGALAM,

-You are 23 years old and facing chronic constipation, weak digestion, poor tolerance to fatty foods,fissure, low energy -In Ayurveda, this points to Agni-mandya (weak digestive fire) and vata aggravation (especially apana vata in the colon) -When vata increases in the intestines, peristalsis (the natural movement of the gut) becomes irregular or very weak. This causes -incolplete digestion of food (leading to heaviness, fatigue, low energy) -hard, dry stools leading to fissure and pain -less ability to digest oily/heavy foods

In Simple words -Your digestive fire is low, so food is not properly digested -The “wind element” in your intestines is high, so motion is irregular, stool is hard, tissue develops -This combination creates a cycle= weak digestion-> constipation-> fissue-> fear of passing stool-> more constipation

TREATMENT GOALS -Deepana- pachana(rekindling digestive fire)= improve digestion so that even simple foods are digested well -Anulomana (regular downward movement)= normalise apana vata so stool passes easily without straining -Mriduvirechana (gentle cleansing)= remove accumulated toxins and soften stool -Ropana (healing)= heal fissure, reduce pain, burning, and prevent recurrence -Rasayana (rejuvination)= restore pğhyscial + mental energy and prevent long term weakness

PHASE WISE TREATMENT MANAGEMENT

PHASE 1= AMA PACHANA (removing undigested toxins, stimulating digestion) why?= because right now your digestion is weak. If we directly give heavy laxatives or oily formulation, it may worsen your fissue

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 2 gm with ghee before meals =to reduce gas, improve digestion

-AJAMODADI CHURNA= 2 gm after meals =to digest ama, stimulate ama

-TRIKATU CHURNA= very small pinch with honey once daily if there is heaviness, sluggishness, or kapha coating on tongue

DURATION= 2-3 weeks depending on response EXPECTED EFFECT= less bloating, improved appetite, lighter stool

PHASE 2= ANULOMANA (regulating bowel movement gently) why?= once digestion is stable, we help bowel movement without causing pain

INTERNALLY -TRIPHALA CHURNA = 1 tsp soaked in warm water overnight, drink in morning

-If constipation is still severe= ABHYAARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after dinner

-Castor oil with warm milk= 2-3 ml once/twice a week at bedtime very lubricating, heals fissure

DURATION= 4-6 weeks EXPECTED EFFECT= softer stool, less strain, fissure relief

PHASE 3= ROPANA (healing fissure, strengthening colon) why?= once stool softens, fissure starts healing naturally . local care accelerates this

-Sitz bath daily= warm water + triphala decoction for 10-15 min -Local application= Jatyadi taila afte sitz bath -Gentle oil massage around anus with cow ghee or panchatikta ghee for lubrication

INTERNALLY

-GANDHARVAHASTADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water =mild laxative, vata regulation

-ALOE VERA PULP with warm water in morning- heals mucosa, reduces dryness

PHASE 4= RASAYANA (rejuvination and prevention of recurrence) why?= to restore energy, immunity, and prevent constipation from returning

-CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp daily =if digestion is strong

-ASHWAGANDHA LEHYAM= 1 tsp daily for energy, nervous system strengthening

-SHATAVARI GHRITA= 1 tsp if burning or acidity persists

DURATION= 2-3 months

LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early brahma muhurta= 5-6 am -drink 1 glass warm water -try to have bowel movement at same time daily -regular light exercise walk 30 min

-OIL MASSAGE= daily sesame oil massage, especially abdomen clockwise and lower back= improves vata balance

-AVOID suppression of urges like flatus, urine, stool= these aggravate fissue/constipation

DIET -warm, soft, light, lubricating food -moong dal khichdi with 1 tsp ghee -soft cooked vegetables - bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, drumstick -stewed fruits= papaya, soaked raisins, figs, prunes -buttermilk with roasted cumin + rock salt

AVOID -dry, cold, fried food -excess maida, bread, biscuits -raw salads too rough, increase vata -too much spicy/sour foods irritates fissures

YOGA ASANA -vajrasana= sit after meals, aids digestion -pawanmuktasana= removes gas -malasana= squatting, strengthens pelvic floor -bhujangasana= improves digestion

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balance vata -Bhramari= calms nervous system -avoid strong kapalbhati initially can aggravate fissure

HOME REMEDIES -1 tsp ghee in warm milk at night= stool softner -soaked raisins/ figs at bedtime= natural mild laxative -jeera-ajwain-fennel boiled water as daily sip drink -warm castor oil massage around anus for fissure

-Your condition is curable with Ayurvedic management because you are young, and the main issue is functional imbalance not structural damage -The approach is step by step- first kindle digestion, then regulate bowels, then heal fissure, then rejuvinate -patience is important= Ayurvedic treatment may take 2-3 months for lasting results, but it aims at root correction, not just temporary relief

DO FOLLOW COSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

It sounds like your digestive fire, or agni, is weak. This can result in improper digestion and assimilation, leading to symptoms like constipation and fatigue. In Ayurveda, balancing agni is crucial for improving digestion.

First, incorporate warm, easily digestible foods into your diet. Preferably, start your day with a glass of warm water, which can stimulate digestion. For meals, try kitchari, a nourishing blend of mung dal and rice seasoned with cumin, ginger, and a pinch of asafoetida. This can be soothing and help improve peristalsis by nourishing the colon.

Avoid raw and cold foods, as they can dampen agni. Consume small quantities of warm food more frequently rather than having heavy meals. Including spices like fennel, cumin, ginger, and black pepper can enhance digestibility. You can add a teaspoon of ghee to your meals; it’s known to promote digestion and ease constipation without causing the oiliness that you find hard to digest.

Maintain hydration by drinking warm water through the day. Herbal teas made with ginger, fennel, and mint can aid digestion and reduce discomfort.

Since you’re experiencing constipation, taking triphala could be beneficial. It’s a gentle Ayurvedic formulation known for supporting digestion and bowel movements. Take half a teaspoon with warm water at bedtime. Avoid taking too much, as overuse might irritate the gut.

For the fissure, it’s important to ensure stools are soft. Applying coconut oil externally can provide relief during bowel movements and help the healing process.

Regular physical activity encourages peristalsis, so incorporating gentle yoga or walks after meals can be very helpful. Pranayama, especially deep breathing exercises, might also alleviate stress and provide mental clarity and energy.

If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider who can offer targeted interventions and ensure that you do not overlook any serious health issues.

It sounds like there may be an imbalance in your digestive system, specifically often related to a weak agni (digestive fire) and possibly altering vata dosha, which can lead to poor digestion and constipation. This can happen when the vata dosha, which governs movement in the body, becomes imbalanced, and affects your digestion and elimination.

First, addressing diet can be helpful. Try eating warm, cooked foods that are easier to digest—think soups, stews, and lightly cooked vegetables. Avoid raw, cold, or heavy foods like dairy or fatty, processed foods that are hard on digestion. Including warming spices like ginger, cumin, and ajwain in cooking can stimulate agni. Avoid skipping meals, and try to eat at regular intervals every day.

For constipation and improving peristalsis, you might consider triphala which is a traditional Ayurvedic formulation known to aid digestion and regulate bowel movements. Take one teaspoon with warm water at bedtime. Be consistent, as it can take some time for natural remedies to show effects.

You might try yagnyahvadi kashayam (a Siddha formulation) under supervision for further cleaning of digestive channels. Practicing gentle yoga or pranayama may help keep your bowels active by promoting circulation and reducing stress, which can impact digestion.

However, since you’ve mentioned that a previous medication caused uncomfortable side effects, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional to evaluate both your medication and any serious complications like fissures. Serious cases may require a more immediate intervention from a specialist — please seek professional guidance in person to prevent any further complications.

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.

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. 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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Shazia Amreen
I am Dr. Shazia Amreen, an Ayurvedic physcian with a little over 7 years of hands-on experience in clinical practice. I did my MD in Ayurveda from Government Ayurveda Medical College, Bangalore—and honestly, those years helped me go much deeper into the classical texts and the clinical ground. Not just theory... actual healing. Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with a diverse set of patients—from chronic gut problems to skin & hair concerns, musculoskeletal issues, hormonal imbalances, kidney stones, you name it. My core strength really lies in Panchakarma and gastrointestinal healing, where I don’t just jump into detox, but take time to see where the agni is, how deep the ama has gone, and whether the body’s ready to reset. I’m very rooted in classical assessment—looking at dosha imbalance, dhatu state, and prakriti before planning anything. But also, I keep it grounded in modern daily life. What’s the point of a great herbal blend if the person can’t sleep on time or digest their food properly, right? That’s why I focus big on Ahara-Vihara guidance. I don’t just hand over a diet list—I walk people through why those changes matter, and how to make them sustainable. In my practice, I often blend Rasayana chikitsa with basic lifestyle coaching, especially for cases like IBS, PCOS, eczema, migraines, or stress-triggered flareups. Each case is unique, and I don’t believe in repeating the same formula just because it worked for someone else. I also emphasize emotional reset, especially in long-standing chronic cases—sometimes people carry fear, shame, or frustration about their illness. I try to hold space for that too. Whether it’s someone coming in for general detox, a fertility consult, or just confused by their symptoms—I aim to build a plan that makes sense to them. It should feel doable. Balanced. And over time, it should make them feel like they’re coming back home to their own body. That’s the kind of Ayurvedic care I believe in—and try to deliver every single day.

Dr. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

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. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

Dr. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

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.
