Dr. Manjula
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.

Pain on the right side of the head, especially above the right eyebrow, along with symptoms of acid reflux and burping points to an imbalance of the Pitta dosha. In Ayurveda, this condition can be associated with an excess of heat in the body, often aggravated by skipping meals and exposure to sunlight which are both Pitta-aggravatng factors.

For immediate relief, it is crucial to focus on Pitta-pacifying strategies. Start by ensuring regular meal timings. Eat small, frequent meals instead of large and less frequent ones to avoid triggers related to digestive irregularities. Try to include cooling and soothing foods in your diet like cucumbers, dairy products like milk and ghee, and naturally sweet foods. Avoid spicy, sour, or fried foods which can increase Pitta further. Drinking a glass of coconut water or fresh aloe vera juice once daily can also help in cooling down the system.

In terms of lifestyle, avoid direct exposure to intense sunlight. If you must be outside during peak sun hours, use a hat or carry an umbrella to protect yourself. Practice regular stress-reduction exercises such as yoga and meditation, particularly focusing on calming the mind and body.

Then, you can also consider the use of certain Ayurvedic herbs. Try taking Amla Churna (Indian gooseberry powder) mixed in a glass of warm water on an empty stomach in the morning. This can help to balance Pitta effectively. However, always check for any allergies or consult with a practitioner before using new herbs.

Additionally, ensure adequate hydration by sipping on cooled boiled water throughout the day. If the head pain or acid reflux becomes severe or is affecting your daily routine, it’s important to seek professional guidance to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Remember, Ayurveda works best as preventive measure, so incorporating these changes into your lifestyle can help maintain a balance in the long run.

The symptoms you mention, like the sharp pain on the right side of your head and above the right eyebrow, possibly correlate with an imbalance of the Pitta dosha. Pitta, responsible for metabolism and transformation, can become aggravated and lead to such issues—especially when triggered by skipping meals and exposure to the sun, both known to increase Pitta.

The connection with acid reflux and burping also reinforces this. When Pitta is high, it leads to increased acidity and digestive disturbances. First, I’d recommend you avoid skipping meals. Opt for frequent, small portions to maintain even energy and Pitta balance. Consume meals that are cooling and soothing like warm cooked grains (like rice), steamed vegetables, and hydrating fruits, avoiding overly spicy, fried or fermented foods.

For acute relief, try applying a paste of sandalwood powder mixed with a little water or rose water on the forehead, where the pain is most intense. This has a cooling effect, pacifying Pitta naturally. Herbal teas made with cardamom or coriander can also alleviate symptoms of acidity and support digestive comfort.

Make it a habit to hydrate adequately throughout the day, but avoid refrigerated or icy drinks. Regularly practicing Sahaj Vriti Pranayama can stabilize your agni (digestive fire) and maintain dosha equilibrium. Manage stress with light Yoga or meditation, since stress can provokes dosha imbalance.

If symptoms continue or intensify, it’s important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare professional to ensure there are no underlying medical concerns requiring advanced care.

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

Dr. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

Dr. Sumit Verma
I am Dr. Sumit Verma, a BAMS practitioner who has spent years working with patients dealing with a wide range of chronic diseases — sometimes simple, sometimes deeply complex. My focus is on evidence-based Ayurvedic treatment and holistic care, because I genuinely belive healing isn’t just about fixing one symptom, it’s about understanding the entire system behind it. Over time, I’ve treated conditions linked to metabolism, helped people manage long-term issues like PCOD and diabetes, and worked with many gastrointestinal problems — things like chronic hyperacidity, bloating, irregular digestion, and even hyper tension which often hides deeper imbalances. Skin health is another area I care about a lot. Cases of psoriasis, eczema, acne — they’re not just skin-deep, they usually tell a bigger story about what’s happening inside the body. My approach always starts with a detailed diagnosis (I can’t rush that part even if I wanted to), followed by root-cause treatment, and then lifestyle modifications that make the results last. Sometimes it means slow progress, but real healing takes time and consistency — I tell this to almost every patient. One thing I hold onto strongly is a patient-first way of working. Every person who walks in has a different body, different patterns, and different challenges, so treatment should be just as individual. I try to listen carefully, even to the things patients think are “not important,” because they often hold the key to figuring out what’s really going on. I’m still learning, always refining how I blend classical Ayurvedic knowledge with practical, modern needs. It’s not always perfect — sometimes I question if I’m doing enough — but my goal is to guide each patient toward better balance, not just quick relief. That’s what makes this work meaningful to me.

Dr. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
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. 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. Mohit Kakkar
I am a BAMS-qualified Ayurvedic physician from Jalandhar, Punjab, and I work with a deep interest in blending classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern telemedicine care. My practice is largely consultation based, reaching patients across the country through online platforms, which still feels new sometimes but works well. Till now I have served more than 500 patients through teleconsultations, mostly chronic cases where consistency really matters more than quick fixes. I focus on understanding each patient through dosha assessment, mainly balancing Vata, Pitta, Kapha using individualized treatment plans and nutrition guidance. Around 85% symptom relief has been seen in chronic conditions, though outcomes vary and need patience. I rely on personalised diet, daily routine correction, and classical Ayurvedic medicines. Some days are challenging, but seeing people feel lighter, sleep better, or regain control over health keeps me going. My aim stays simple,, long term wellness through practical Ayurveda, not rushed solutions.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

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

Dr. Posam Siva Priyanka
I am working in the field of Ayurveda with special focus on surgical and para-surgical management, something that many people don’t usually expect Ayurveda to handle. Over the past 3 years and 7 months I gained clinical experience especially in anorectal disorders like piles, fissures and fistula, which often trouble patients silently until they become unbearable. These are conditions where Ayurveda offers very effective approaches, not only through medicines but also through para-surgical procedures. One such method is Ksharasutra therapy, a technique I practiced regularly, where medicated thread is used to treat fistula-in-ano and other chronic conditions. It is minimally invasive but require patience, regular follow up, and careful application. Similarly, I trained in Agnikarma, which uses controlled thermal cauterization for pain relief and management of small surgical conditions. Both of these methods are rooted in classical Ayurveda but highly relevant in modern surgical practice too. Alongside that, I also worked with various Panchakarma procedures—oleation, sudation, basti, virechana etc.—that support recovery, reduce inflammation and restore balance in patients undergoing surgical or para-surgical care. Many times, Panchakarma is not just therapy by itself but a preparatory or supportive process that makes outcomes more effective. Currently I am pursuing postgraduation in Shalya Tantra, the Ayurvedic branch of surgery. This allows me to deepen my understanding of both operative and para-operative techniques, while also staying rooted in the holistic principles of Ayurveda. It’s demanding, balancing study and practice, but it keeps me constantly improving. For me surgery in Ayurveda is not only about removing disease but about restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life without unnecessary complications. Each patient is different, and the treatment plan always need adjustment—it is never copy paste medicine. That is something I keep learning again and agian.
