Dr. Khushboo
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.

Hello Nirupa ji, I understand how painful rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flares can be, especially when they affect weight-bearing joints like the knee.but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

Since you are already on immunosuppressants and painkillers, Ayurveda can help support pain reduction, reduce stiffness, and prevent further flare-ups.

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Maharasnadi Kashaya 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water after food 2 Arthojith 2-0-2 after food 3 GT 2 cap at bed time

✅SUPPORTIVE HOME. REMEDIES

1. Warm fomentation (Nadi Swedana / Hot water compress) Apply a hot water bag or mild steam to the knee joint for 10–15 min. Helps reduce stiffness and improve mobility.

2. Eranda (Castor oil) with warm water – 1 tsp at night once or twice a week (if digestion permits) Acts as a mild laxative + anti-inflammatory for joints.

3. Ajwain + methi seeds Roast and powder in equal parts, take 1 tsp with lukewarm water twice daily. Reduces Ama and stiffness.

4. External oil massage Gentle massage with Maha Narayan Taila / Dhanwantaram Taila followed by mild hot fomentation. Avoid if joint is very hot or acutely swollen.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE

👉Take light, warm, easily digestible food – khichdi, moong dal soup, vegetable soups.

👉Avoid curd, cold drinks, packaged/fermented foods, heavy oily meals.

👉Use ginger, garlic, turmeric, ajwain regularly in cooking.

👉Keep bowels clear – constipation worsens joint pain.

👉Gentle knee-strengthening yoga (Pawanmuktasana series, setubandhasana) once pain subsides.

Since you are already on immunosuppressants, do not stop or reduce them without consulting your rheumatologist.

Ayurvedic support can reduce frequency and severity of flares, but it should be integrated gradually

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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.

To manage rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flare-ups with Ayurvedic principles, you can complement your existing medical treatments. Given that you are already taking immunosuppressants and painkillers, the aim here would be to incorporate natural methods to help reduce inflammation and stiffness in your left knee.

Firstly, your diet plays a crucial role. Focus on anti-inflammatory foods. Include a generous amount of fresh fruits and vegetables such as carrots, beets, and leafy greens. Mung bean soup is an excellent choice as it’s easy to digest. Avoid nightshades like tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants, as they are known to aggravate inflammation.

In Ayurveda, massage with medicated oils is recommended. You can use warm Mahanarayan oil, gently massaging it into your affected knee joint. This improves circulation and reduces stiffness. Perform massage in the morning after warming the oil slightly, spending about 10-15 minutes daily. Post-massage, a warm bath can further assist in alleviating stiffness.

Considering your hypothyroidism, it’s vital to balance your agni (digestive fire). Include digestive aids such as ginger tea or a pinch of hing (asafoetida) in your meals to boost metabolism.

Simple yoga poses can also help maintain flexibility and reduce pain. Gentle practice of Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) or Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) can be beneficial. Avoid exertion or any strain on the knee during practice.

Avoid exposure to cold, wind, and dampness as these can further aggravate symptoms. Keep your knee warm using cotton or woolen wraps.

For any new symptoms or if your condition worsens, consult your healthcare provider. Ayurveda emphasize harmony and balance, thus taking a holistic approach along with your prescribed medications can foster overall well-being.

HELLO NIRUPA VYAS,

Rheumatoid arthritis is when your body’s defence system, instead of protecting you, starts attacking your own joints. This leads to swelling, heat, pain and stiffness- often worse in morning. In Ayurveda, this is called Ama vata -AMA= undigested toxins that clog channels -VATA= the energy of movement (joints, nerves) which gets aggravated When ama combines with vata, it settles in joints, specially knees, causing pain and stiffness

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce inflammation and pain -remove ama(toxins) and prevent new formation -balance vata dosha for smoother joint movement -improve digestion and metabolism -support mobility, strength, and overall energy

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SIMHANADA GUGGU;U= 500mg twice daily after meals =helps clear ama and reduce swelling

2) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 500 mg twice daily afte rmeals =balances vata, releives stiffness, and supports joints

3) MAHARASNADI KASHAYA= 15 ml with warm water twice daily before meals =used for chronic joint pain

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =for strength and inflammation

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night =gentle detoc and digestion support

EXTERNAL THERAPES

1) OIL MASSAGE = with warm MAHANARAYAN taila gently massaged over knee (15 min), followed by warm compress. avoid if the joint feels very hot/inflammed

2) HOT STEAM= after massage , mild steaming to reduce stiffness

3) HERBAL PASTE= application of turmeric, ginger, or castor root pasta on joints during acute flare

DIET AND REMEDIES -eat light, warm, freshly cooked meals -avoid heavy ,cold, fermented foods -curd, cheese, bakery, fried foods -favour barley, green gram , old rice, cooked vegetables, light soups -use spices= turmeric, dry ginger, garlic, cumin, ajwain,black pepper -sip warm water through the day, avoid chilled drinks

HOME REMEDIES -turmeric + ginger tea with black pepper -1 tsp castor oil in warm milk nigh once or twice a week acts as mild laxative and vata pacifier -fenugreek seeds soaked overnight, chewed in morning

LIFESTYLE, YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Maintain regular sleep; avoid staying up late -GENTLE YOGA ASANAS= tadasana, trikonasana, setu bandhasana and supported pawanmuktasana -PRANAYAM= anulom vilom, bhramari, gentle kapalbhati -avoid sitting. on cold floors or exposing joints to cold wind -daily light. walk, but don’t push through severe pain

Rheumatoid arthritis flares are not just about joints- they touch digestion, immunity, energy, and even mood. Ayurveda’s strength is in looking at all these layers together. The path is usually slow but steady, aiming not only at reducing the present pain but preventing repeated flares by strengthening digestion and clearing ama.

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELFPUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

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.

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. 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. 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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. 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. Neha Saini
I am Vaidya Neha Saini and Ayurveda’s not just my work—it’s kind of like my language of healing, a thing I live by, day in and out. I did my BAMS from Shree Krishna Govt Ayurvedic College in Kurukshetra and later finished MD in Ayurveda from Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune (that place had a different kind of energy honestly). With more than five yrs of clinical experience under my belt, I’ve kinda shaped my path around treating chronic issues, long-drawn imbalances and lifestyle disorders that modern life throws at people without warning. My way of working isn’t about chasing symptoms. I try to understand what’s really going on underneath—it’s like the root cause matters more than just quieting the noise. I use classical Ayurvedic principles but I also keep an eye on modern clinical understanding, ‘cause you can’t ignore how medicine’s growing every day, right? Most of my cases come in with problems like skin conditions—psoriasis, eczema, sometimes hormonal stuff like PCOS or thyroid weirdness, joint stiffness, back pains, post-stroke situations, or nervous system setbacks that need slow but steady support. And for all that, I plan treatment around them, not some fixed protocol. Which means a mix of herbs, Panchakarma detox when needed, food tweaks, even small shifts in daily routine… all matching their prakriti and vikriti. I also do online consults 'cause a lot of folks don't always get to travel or access real Ayurveda nearby. I just feel like everyone should have a shot at natural healing, even if it's through a screen. One thing I try hard to never skip: listening. Really listening to people. Sometimes they don’t even know how to say what's wrong, but they feel it—and that matters. For me, trust is the main pillar, and treatment flows from there. Ayurveda for me isn’t a toolkit or a clinic-only thing. It’s like—how you eat, sleep, breathe, connect with seasons or stress. It’s everywhere. And everytime someone walks in confused, tired or just stuck with some health loop, my aim is to sit beside them—not ahead—and figure the way out together. Not fast fixes, but deep, steady change. That's what I show up for every single time.
