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.

Ayurveda considers chronic and recurring mouth ulcers, particularly those with a white spot on the tongue, to be a symptom of an underlying imbalance, rather than just a local problem. The most common imbalance associated with these symptoms is an aggravation of the Pitta dosha. ​Understanding the Ayurvedic Perspective ​Pitta Dosha Imbalance: Pitta is the dosha associated with fire and water, governing metabolism, digestion, and heat in the body. When Pitta is imbalanced or in excess, it can lead to an increase in “heat” and “acidity” within the body. This internal heat often manifests in the mouth, leading to inflammation, irritation, and the formation of painful ulcers. ​Ama (Toxins): Poor digestion, a key aspect of a Pitta imbalance, can lead to the accumulation of Ama, which are toxins from undigested food. This Ama can circulate in the body and contribute to the formation of ulcers. ​White Spot on the Tongue: According to Ayurvedic tongue diagnosis, a white coating on the tongue is often an indicator of a Kapha dosha derangement and the accumulation of Ama. It suggests that the digestive system (Agni, or digestive fire) is not working optimally. This aligns with the Pitta imbalance, as weak digestion can cause toxins to build up.

​Ayurvedic Treatment and Management ​The Ayurvedic approach focuses on addressing the root cause, which is the internal imbalance. This involves a holistic strategy that includes diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies. ​1. Diet and Lifestyle Modifications (Pitta-Pacifying) ​Avoid Pitta-Aggravating Foods: To reduce internal heat, it is crucial to avoid foods that increase Pitta. This includes: ​Spicy, hot, and fermented foods. ​Acidic foods (citrus fruits, tomatoes, vinegar). ​Fried and oily foods. ​Excessive intake of tea, coffee, and alcohol. ​Smoking and tobacco use. ​Embrace Pitta-Pacifying Foods: Incorporate foods that are cooling, sweet, and bitter in taste. ​Fresh fruits (bananas, melons, coconut). ​Cooling vegetables (cucumber, leafy greens, pumpkin). ​Dairy products (ghee, milk). ​Herbs and spices like coriander, cumin, fennel, and licorice. ​Hydration: Drink plenty of water and cooling fluids like coconut water to flush out toxins and cool the body.

​Stress Management: Stress is a major trigger for Pitta imbalance. Practices such as meditation, yoga, and deep breathing can help reduce stress and prevent stress-induced ulcers.

​Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and daily tongue scraping to remove accumulated toxins.

​2. Herbal and Home Remedies ​Licorice (Yashtimadhu): Known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps heal ulcers and pacify Pitta. Chewing on a small piece of licorice root or using a gargle made from licorice powder can be beneficial.

​Triphala: A powerful blend of three fruits, Triphala is a detoxifying and anti-inflammatory agent. Gargling with a Triphala decoction or taking it internally can help cleanse the digestive system and promote healing.

​Honey and Turmeric Paste: A paste made from turmeric (known for its antiseptic properties) and honey (a natural healer) can be applied directly to the ulcers for pain relief and faster healing.

​Coconut Oil: Oil pulling with coconut oil is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that can help reduce inflammation, fight bacteria, and soothe the mouth. Applying coconut oil directly to the white spot or ulcer can also be helpful.

​Gargles and Rinses: ​Saltwater: A simple and effective antiseptic rinse. ​Panchavalkala Kashaya: A decoction made from the bark of five different trees, known for their antimicrobial and astringent properties, can be used as a gargle. ​

1.)Kamadugha rasa before food with milk 2 times

2.) Avipattikara churna-2gm Pravala Pisti-125mg Guduchi Bhasma-250mg before food with maha tiktaka ghrita 3 times

3.) Jatyadi Ghrita + Gairika for local Application 3 times

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with specialized expertise in Shalakya Tantra, focusing on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the Netra (eyes), Karna (ears), Nasa (nose), Mukha (oral cavity), Danta (teeth), and Shira (head and ENT region). My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Hello Akash,

Thank you for sharing your condition. You are experiencing white patches on tongue (leukoplakia / oral leukoplakia) and recurrent mouth ulcers for many years.

Likely Nidana:

1.Pitta and Kapha aggravation in Rasavaha & Annavaha srotas → causing inflammation and mucosal changes. 2.Weak Agni (digestive fire) → formation of Ama (toxins) leading to ulcers and white patches. 3.Local factors: irritation from spicy, hot, or processed foods, smoking/chewing habits (if present).

🔍 Recommended Investigations

1. Oral swab / cytology – to rule out infection or premalignant lesions. 2. CBC, Hb%, ESR – to check for chronic infection or anemia. 3. Blood sugar (FBS/PP) – diabetes can worsen oral ulcers. 4. Vitamin B12, folic acid, iron – deficiency can contribute to ulcers.

💊 Internal Medicine

Phase 1 – Ama-pachana & Twak shodhana (2 weeks)

1. Guduchi kwatha – 40 ml before meals, twice daily. 2. Triphala churna – 1 g with warm water at night (oral cleansing & mild detox). 3. Yastimadhu (licorice) churna – 1 g twice daily with honey (anti-inflammatory, ulcer healing).

Phase 2 – Twak-sthira & Rasa-Rakta support (next 4 weeks)

1. Chandraprabha vati – 2 tabs twice daily after meals (ulcer healing & immunity). 2. Haridra churna – 1/2 tsp with warm water, thrice daily (antimicrobial, reduces white patches). 3. Brahmi vati – 1 tab twice daily (calms mind, reduces pitta-related inflammation).

🌿 External Support

1.Oil pulling with sesame oil or coconut oil daily (10 min, morning) – cleans oral mucosa. 2.Local application of licorice paste or turmeric paste on ulcers for 10–15 min daily. 3.Avoid tobacco, smoking, betel nuts, and very spicy foods.

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle

Pathya (Recommended):

1. Soft, warm, non-spicy meals – khichdi, dal, soups. 2. Fresh fruits and vegetables – especially leafy greens, carrots, pomegranate. 3. Milk, ghee, and soaked almonds – nourish Ras-Rakta dhatu. 4. Plenty of water – 2–3 L/day.

Apathya (Avoid):

1. Spicy, oily, fried, and junk foods. 2. Excess hot beverages and coffee. 3. Excess citrus (can irritate ulcers). 4. Smoking, alcohol, and chewing tobacco.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga & Lifestyle

1. Pranayama: Anulom Vilom + Bhramari 10 min daily (reduces stress-related ulcers). 2. Gentle asanas: Sukhasana, Bhujangasana (improves circulation & digestion). 3. Maintain proper sleep cycle (10 pm–6 am). 4. Reduce stress via meditation or journaling – stress often worsens ulcers.

🌸 With Kind Regards

With consistent care addressing Agni, Ras-Rakta dhatu, and Pitta-Kapha balance, your oral ulcers and white tongue patches will gradually reduce. Gentle oral hygiene, diet, and herbal support are key.

– Dr. Sumi.

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.

HELLO AKASH,

You are having white patch/spot on the tongue with ulcer tendency with ulcer tendency for many years. In modern medicine, this can be due to -chronic irritation - spicy food , smoking, dental sharp tooth , tobacco, etc -fungal infection- oral thrush/candida -vitamin deficiencies - B12, folic acid, iron -oral lukeoplakia= precancerous white patch that needs biopsy to rule out serious disease

In Ayurveda, this condition is seen as -Pitta imbalance= causes burning, ulcers, inflammation -Kapha imbalance= causes thick white coating/spot -Rakta dushti (vitiation of blood)= causes recurrent ulcers, chronic patches -Agnimandya (weak digestion)= toxins gets depostied in the mouth lining

So, the root causes are -weak digestion + blood impurity + mouth irritation + pitta-kapha imbalance

TREATMENT GOALS -remove root ause - improves digestion, correct pita and kapha balance -purify blood -heal ulcer and reduce white patches -prevent recurrence -improve immunity of oral mucosa

INVESTIGATION NEEDED Before starting only Ayurvedic medicines, get these checked to avoid missing serious conditions -Oral examination by dentist/ENT= biopsy if patch is suspicious

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KHADIRADI VATI = 1-2 tabs suck slowly 3-4 times a day =antimicrobial,blood purifier, heals mouth ulcers

2) YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1 tsp with honey twicdaily after meals =cooling, reduces burning, promotes healing

3) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals =balances excess pitta, improves digestion

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night warm water =detox, mild laxatives, blood purifier

5) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals =immunity booster, helps in chronic ulcers and blood disorders

6) MANJISTHA CAPSUELS= 500 mg twice daily after meals =excellent blood purifier, reduces white patchs

LOCAL/EXTERNAL TREATMENT

-Khadira kwatha gargle= gargle twice daily =antiseptic, blood purifier

-Triphala decoction gargle= keeps mouth clean

-Honey + turmeric paste= apply on ulcer/patch 2-3 times daily

-Tender coconut water rinse= soothing and cooking

-Oil pulling with sesame oil in morning

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

AVOID -spicy, sour, very hot , fried foods -alcohol, smoking, tobacco major cause of leukoplakia -excess tea/coffee -stress, late nights

FOLLOW -use lukewarm water for drinking -maintain oral hygiene (herbal toothpaste: neem, clove, babul) -chew fennel seeds after meals for freshness and digestion

DIET -green vegetables -fruits = pomegranate, amla, papaya -milk with turmeric -ghee balances pitta -buttermilk with roasted cumin -coconut water

AVOID -too spicy chili, pickles -too sour lemon, tamarind, vinegar -very salty or fried snacks

YOGA ASANA for stress and digestion -vajrasana after meals -shavasana -pawanmuktasana= gas relief

PRANAYAM -Sheetali= excelent for pitta ulcers -Sheetkari -Anulom vilom

HOME REMEDIES -chew tulsi leaves daily -mix 1 tsp honey + pinch of turmeric, apply on patch twice daily -rinse mouth with lukewarm water + pinch of turmeric + rock salt -take amla daily raw, juice or powder -drink aloe vera juice 30 ml morning empty stomach

-your problem is chronic, so. treatment needs patience minimum 2-3 rounds -Ayurveda can heal ulcers, purify blood, and improve immunity -But since it is long standing many years you must get it examined by a doctor to rule out precancerous condition -Once serious causes are excluded, Ayurveda can manage and prevent recurrence very effectively.

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Long-standing mouth ulcers and white spots on the tongue can be an indication of an underlying imbalance in your body according to Ayurveda, possibly due to aggravation of Pitta dosha. Ayurveda aims to address such issues by bringing balance to the body through diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies.

First, having a well-balanced diet is crucial. Consider avoiding spicy, sour, and hot foods as they may aggravate Pitta. Instead, focus on cooling and soothing foods. Include more fresh fruits like grapes, melons, cucumbers, and coconut water in your daily intake. These foods are naturally cooling and help pacify aggravated Pitta.

Regular consumption of Triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic blend of three fruits, can also be beneficial. Take about half a teaspoon of Triphala powder mixed with warm water at night before bedtime. It aids in digestion and helps cleanse the system.

Another key component is water intake. Ensure that you are drinking at least eight glasses of filtered water daily to keep the body well-hydrated and help flush out toxins.

Herbal remedies such as licorice root, which is known to have soothing properties, can be taken as a tea. Simply simmer 1 teaspoon of licorice root in water for about 10 minutes, strain, and then drink it once cool enough.

In terms of lifestyle, stress management is essential, as stress can worsen mouth conditions. Practices like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises can significantly help in managing stress levels.

It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene. Regularly rinse your mouth with warm salt water or an infusion made from neem leaves which has antiseptic properties.

If these conditions persist, it’s critical to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions. Ayurveda complements conventional medicine but should not substitute essential medical intervention where necessary.

Persistent white spots and mouth ulcers often reflect an underlying imbalance in the body’s doshas, particularly vata and pitta. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, these symptoms may indicate heat and dryness in the body and need thoughtful attention.

First, internal contaminants and stress can exacerbate the condition, so consider incorporating cooling and calming practices into your routine. Start by increasing your intake of cooling foods that balance pitta, like fresh fruits (especially melons and cucumbers) and vegetables. Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods which might aggravate the situation further.

Using a coconut oil pull, also called gandusha, could help. Swish a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for about 10 minutes every morning before eating. This practice is known for its cleansing properties and can help soothe oral tissues.

To strengthen the mouth’s tissues and boost healing, an herbal paste prepared from Yashtimadhu (Licorice root) and honey can be applied directly to the ulcers. Mix them into a smooth paste and apply gently with clean fingers two to three times daily.

Maintaining proper oral hygiene is very important as well; try brushing with a neem-based toothpaste, as neem has antiseptic properties that promote oral health.

However, since you’ve experienced this discomfort for a long time, I suggest consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider directly for a personalized assessment and a comprehensive treatment plan. If there’s pain or other alarming symptoms like swelling or difficulty swallowing, seek medical care promptly.

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.

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 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. 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. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Dr. Anupriya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

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

Dr. Vd.Ved Janakbhai Purohit
I am gaining my practical understanding of Ayurveda through real patient exposure, first during internship at Arogyam Ayurveda Clinic in Vadodara and now at Khemdas Ayurved Hospital. These months gave me chance to not just watch but also assist in treating a wide range of disorders — gout with severe swelling, hypertension cases where lifestyle played big role, diabetes management that needed constant monitoring, and digestive issues like acidity, constipation or IBS that kept returning for many patients. I also worked alongside seniors handling respiratory complaints such as asthma, chronic cough, breathlessness. Joint pain and lower back pain cases are extremely common, some acute, some lasting years, and I learned how Ayurveda approaches them with both medicines and therapies. Thyroid disorders were another big area, where we had to look beyond just lab values and actually study prakriti, agni, sleep cycles, emotional stress, diet patterns. This exposure helped me practice Ayurvedic diagnosis — naadi pariksha, detailed patient history, observation of tongue, skin, voice — not just as a ritual but as tools to understand the imbalance behind disease. Treatment principles became clearer too: choosing herbs, deciding when Panchakarma fits, or when simple pathya-apathya can do more than medicines. I also realized that holistic care is not only about giving medicine but also building trust. Some patients came with doubts, some impatient for results. My role was to listen, to explain, sometimes to repeat same advice until they felt ready to follow. These moments made me see Ayurveda not just as science but also as a conversation between doctor and patient. Two clinics, two different setups, both gave me solid ground to build confidence in real practice. Every case still feels like a lesson, and every improvement in patient health reminds me why I chose this path.

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. Shaily Rathore
I am Dr. Shaily Rathore and my whole thing with Ayurveda started from a really personal space where I felt modern life was like... too fast, too noisy, and kinda disconnecting us from ourselves. I mean, there's this crazy ancient wisdom just sitting there in texts like Charak Samhita n Sushrut Samhita—and honestly, every time I read through them, there's always something new I hadn’t noticed before. Those classics don't just talk about herbs n diseases, they talk about how your lifestyle, emotions, food, sleep, all of it connects. That idea of balance? Not just between doshas like Vata Pitta Kapha, but also in how we think, live, even how we breathe. I mainly work with people who wanna heal without jumping straight into heavy meds. Like ya, if your condition allows it, I’ll def choose dinacharya tweaks or basic food corrections before writing up a full medicine plan. I’ve seen in many cases, your body can bounce back when you just give it the right rhythm again. I pay close attntion to small patterns — like when ppl say they’re just tired “all the time” or can’t digest food even though reports look fine. These tiny clues matter. I also make Ayurvedic content online—in Hinglish, btw—'cause honestly I feel ppl listen more when you talk their language. Nothing too textbooky. It's more like “let’s chat about your gut issues over kadha,” y'know? There’s way too much info out there, but not all of it makes sense to the average person. I like keeping it real, simple, and actually do-able. Whether you’re lookin’ to figure out why your skin’s always reacting, or how to manage stress without burning out, or just curious how to live more sattvic—I’ll be there. I’m not the kind to rush into pills n powders. But I also won’t sit back if deeper intervention’s needed. Each person’s body tells a diff story, and honestly I just wanna help you read yours better.

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.
