Dr. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

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.

asthma is known as Tamaka Shwasa, which is considered a Vata-Kaphaj disorder. It is caused by the vitiation of Prana Vayu (a sub-type of Vata responsible for the respiratory system) and Kapha dosha. The symptoms you describe, such as anxiety, rapid heartbeat, and muscle palpitations, can be associated with Vata imbalance. The Vata dosha governs the nervous system and can cause anxiety and restlessness when aggravated.

Dr. Sumi. S
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 Almas,

Thank you for sharing your condition. You are experiencing persistent breathlessness despite inhaler use, along with palpitations, visible veins, muscle pulsations, and severe anxiety.This suggests a dual issue:

1.Pranavaha Srotas Dushti (Asthma/Respiratory imbalance, Vata-Kapha involvement) 2.Manovaha Srotas Dushti (Anxiety, stress, sympathetic overdrive)

Likely Nidana:

1.Vata aggravation (causing palpitations, trembling, anxious breath) 2.Kapha obstruction in Pranavaha Srotas (causing breathlessness) 3.Raja–Tama aggravation in mind (causing health anxiety).

🔍 Recommended Investigations

1. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) – to assess asthma control. 2. Chest X-ray – to rule out chronic lung changes. 3. ECG – for palpitations/fast heartbeat. 4. CBC, Hb% – rule out anemia (can worsen breathlessness). 5. Serum Vitamin D & B12 – deficiency may cause weakness/anxiety. 6. TSH – rule out thyroid imbalance (palpitations & anxiety link).

💊 Internal Medicine

Phase 1 – Shwasahara & Vata–Kapha balance (2 weeks)

1. Sitopaladi churna – 1 g with honey, twice daily. 2. Vasavaleha – 1 tsp with warm water, twice daily. 3. Haridra khanda – 5 g with warm milk at bedtime (for allergic/asthmatic base).

Phase 2 – Manas-balya & Anulomana (next 4 weeks)

1. Saraswatarishta – 15 ml + equal water, twice daily after meals (anxiety, palpitation). 2. Ashwagandha churna – 3 g with warm milk at night (calming & strength). 3. Brahmi vati (goldless) – 1 tab, twice daily (for stress & heart calming).

🌿 External Support

1.Steam inhalation with Ajwain / Pudina leaves once daily during breathlessness. 2.Abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame oil 2–3 times/week for Vata balance.

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle

Pathya (Recommended):

1. Warm, light, freshly cooked meals. 2. Tulsi, ginger, black pepper herbal tea daily. 3. Fruits like pomegranate, apple, pears. 4. Cow’s ghee (½ tsp daily). 5. Soaked almonds & raisins (5 each).

Apathya (Avoid):

1. Cold drinks, ice creams, bakery foods. 2. Excess curd, fried, oily & packaged foods. 3. Late-night sleep & excess screen exposure. 4. Overthinking about breathlessness (increases anxiety loop).

🧘‍♀️ Yoga & Lifestyle

1. Pranayama: Anulom Vilom (10 min, twice daily).

Bhramari (humming bee pranayama – 5 min, for anxiety).

Slow deep belly breathing – whenever anxious.

2. Asanas: - Sukhasana with mindful breathing. - Bhujangasana (improves lung capacity). - Setu Bandhasana (reduces palpitations).

3. Lifestyle:

- Maintain regular sleep (10–6 ideally). - Journaling or guided meditation for health anxiety. - Avoid over-checking pulse/heartbeat repeatedly.

🌸 With Kind Regards

May your breath become steady, your mind calmer, and your heart regain confidence. With consistent care for both lungs and mind, relief will come.

– Dr. Sumi.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

Sure, Almas. Ayurvedic treatment for asthma and anxiety focuses on balancing Vata and Kapha doshas, strengthening the lungs, calming the mind, and supporting digestion. Below is a holistic plan using Ayurvedic principles—but please remember, always check with a qualified Ayurvedic doctor before starting new remedies, especially if you’re taking other medicines.

For Asthma:

Sitopaladi Churna – 1 teaspoon with honey, twice daily after meals

Vasaka Syrup (Adhatoda) – 10 ml, twice daily after meals

Pippali Powder (Long Pepper) – 1/4 teaspoon with warm water, once daily

Talisadi Churna (optional for cough) – 1/2 tsp with honey, twice daily

For Anxiety:

Ashwagandha Capsules – 1 capsule (500 mg), twice daily after food

Brahmi Syrup or Tablets – 10 ml syrup or 1 tablet, at bedtime

Shankhpushpi Syrup – 10 ml, at bedtime

2. Oil Therapies (with guidance):

Abhyanga (Oil massage): Use warm sesame oil to calm Vata and improve circulation.

Shirodhara: Calms anxiety and promotes deep relaxation (done in Ayurvedic clinics).

Steam inhalation: Add ajwain seeds or eucalyptus oil for clearing chest congestion.

Anu Taila (nasya) – 2 drops in each nostril morning

3. Dietary Guidance (Pathya-Apathya)

Include: Warm, cooked food (easy to digest) Moong dal khichdi Steamed vegetables with ghee Spices like turmeric, cumin, ajwain (carom seeds), ginger Herbal teas (tulsi, mulethi, cinnamon)

Avoid: Cold food/drinks Ice cream, curd at night Fried food, processed snacks Excess dairy (can increase mucus) Heavy meals at night.

Thank you!

I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

HELLO ALMAS PARWEEN,

You have Asthma, which in modern medicine is a chronic condition where the airways of the lungs become inflamed, narrowed, and produce excess mucus. This leads to symptoms like breathlessness, chest tightness, wheezing and cough

You also have Anxiety (health anxiety in particular), which makes you feel your body symptoms more strongly. For example, when you feel slight breathlessness, your mind reacts with fear (“I can’t breathe, something is wrong”), which further increase heart rate and tightness, making symptoms worse.

In Ayurveda, asthma is called Tamaka Shwaas, a type of Shwaas roga. -It happens when Kapha dosha (mucus, heaviness ) mixes with vata dosha (irregular air movement) and blocks the airways -Your anxiety is mainly related to vata imbalance (overactive mind, restlessness)

So treatment has two goals -open and strengthen your breathing channels= reduce kapha, stabilize vata -calm the mind and nervous system = balance vata, reduce anxiety

TREATMENT GOAL 1) Immediate relief= reduce breathlessness and chest tightness 2) Long term control= prevent frequent attacks, strengthen immunity and lungs 3) Mind-Body balance= reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and calm the heart rate 4) Lifestyle correction= remove triggers (food, habits, exposure)

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SHITOPALADI CHURNA + HONEY= 2 gm twice daily after meals =relieves cough , clears mucus

2) TALISADI CHURNA= 1 gm with warm water twice daily after meals =improves digestion, reduces kapha

3) YASHTIMADHU= 1/2 tsp in warm water once daily in morning =soothes throat, reduces inflammation

4) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey after meals =improves metabolism, clears phlegm

5) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 cap at night with warm. milk =calms anxiety, strengthens body

6) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at night =for anxiety and mental calmness

Duration= 6-12 weeks

EXTERNAL THERAPIES -Steam inhalation with ajwain or eucalyptus oil- clears blocked passages -Oil massage with warm sesame oil= calms vata, reduces anxiety -Nasya therapy= Instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril in morning =lubricates nasal passage, prevents attacks

Can also go for panchakarma for better relief -Vamana= to expel excess kapha, done in chronic stubborn asthma -Virechana= for balancing pitta and kapha

DIET AND LIFESTYLE

Favourable foods -warm, light, easily digestible meals -soups with black pepper , ginger, cumin -green gram , old rice, barley, wheat -herbals teas= ginger tea, tulsi tea -warm water throughout the day

FOODS TO AVOID -Cold, refrigerated, iced foods/drinks -curd, cheese, heavy milk products at night -fried, oily, junk food -excess banana, guava, or sour foods -exposure to dust, smoke, strong perfumes, and sudden weather changes

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Sukhasana + deep breathing= basic relaxation -Anulom vilom= balances vata and calms anxiety -Bhramari= very effective for anxiety + asthma -Bhujangasana, setu band hasana, matsyasana= expand chest and lungs

Avoid very forceful breathing practices like Kapalbhati or intense during an attack

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -warm water with a pinch of turmeric before bed -chew a piece of dry ginger with honey during cough -inhalae steam with ajwain or tulsi leaves -apply warm mustard oil with a pinch of salt on chest and back during wheezing (external only)

-Asthma cannot be “cured” fully, but it can be controlled very well with right approach -Never stop your inhaler suddenly, Ayurveda supports but does not replace emergency medicines -Your anxiety is amplifying your breathlessness- so both need to be treated together -A combination of inhaler + ayurvedic internal medications + external therapies + lifestyle changes + yoga/meditation gives best result

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

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.

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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: 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. Deepali Goswami
I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Dr. Krushna Chaitanya
I am working with patients from around 5 yrs now—sometimes in clinics, sometimes online late at night with a cup of chai next to me and a bunch of case files open. Ayurveda isn’t just a system I studied, it sort of became how I see health and life both. Over these years, I’ve dealt with all kinds of cases but I’ve naturally leaned more towards things like PCOD, thyroid imbalance, gastric trouble, and UTI complaints. These are the ones people often ignore till it gets *too much*, and then they show up exhausted, confused, sometimes already tried a dozen things. I’m not someone who gives the same churna or tablets to everyone. My style? Listen first. Like really listen. Half the time diagnosis starts there. Maybe that’s why I keep seeing followups, people come back or send someone from their family. Some cases take time—like PCOD can’t vanish in 2 weeks—but when you see improvement in moods, cycles, or skin, you know it’s working. There are also those gastric patients who come in saying “I’ve had gas from 10 yrs” and think nothing can change. But it does. Slowly but surely. Offline practice taught me body language, how silence tells more than blood reports sometimes. Online practice taught me how to spot key patterns in words and build trust through screen, which is harder than it sounds. I don’t overpromise, I explain what might work and what may not.. but I do stay with the case, I don’t leave it halfway. Even today, I still keep updating my notes and rechecking texts.. not out of doubt but because every patient feels different even if disease is same. There’s this unpredictabillity to real practice that textbooks never warned about, and I think that’s what keeps me hooked.

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. 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. Roopini N R
I am working in Ayurveda since 5+ years now, and what really drives me is figuring out how to make healing actually work for the person in front of me — not just treating their symptoms n moving on. Most people come in with gut issues at first — acidity, gas, constipation, stuff like that. But once you start listening close, there’s usually more behind it... doshic imbalances, wrong diet over yrs, even stress patterns. I usually start with their prakriti (constitution) and current complaints, and then map a treatment plan from there — herbs, some diet correction, maybe mild Panchakarma, depends. I don't repeat same formula for every case. I try to keep things practical too… like no overly fancy routines that they won’t follow anyway. Some cases take time. But I’ve seen even chronic bloating or GERD improve when you look at food habits and gut fire (agni) closely enough. I follow classical texts a lot but also read up on newer research when I can — sometimes it helps connect things better. And I never just hand over meds n rush — I want them to get it, to know why we’re doing what we’re doing. That awareness matters. My aim is not just short-term relief but to guide them back to some lasting kind of balance, if that makes sense. And yeah, I do mess up sometimes with too much detail or wrong timing — but then I adjust. It's a process, and every patient's story sort of shapes the way I grow in this field too.
