Hello Nikita ji,

I understand your concern. TMJ is a condition affecting the jaw joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull. Since this joint is very close to the ear, head, and neck muscles, TMJ problems can often cause pain and discomfort beyond the jaw itself.but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ WHY ARE YOU FEELING PAIN IN EAR

1. Jaw–Ear Connection: The TM joint lies just in front of the ear. Inflammation or tightness here can directly cause ear pain, heaviness, blocked feeling, or discomfort. Even if the ear itself is healthy, the pain may be “referred” from the TMJ.

2. Muscle and Nerve Link Jaw muscles are connected to neck and shoulder muscles. Constant strain can cause neck stiffness, tension headaches (especially at the back of head), and pain radiating around the ears and temples.

This is why you feel pain on both the front and back side of ear.

3. Triggers that worsen TMJ Stress and teeth grinding (bruxism) Chewing hard foods, chewing gum Jaw injury, poor posture while using phone/laptop Sleep disturbances

✅Does TMJ affect other body parts?

Mostly, TMJ symptoms remain localized to the jaw, face, ear, head, and neck. Common symptoms: jaw clicking, facial pain, earache, headache, neck stiffness. It generally does not damage the inner ear or spread to distant organs. However, chronic untreated TMJ can cause ongoing muscle tension, stress, sleep disturbance, and reduced quality of life.

Since you have ear discomfort, it is advisable to get ENT check-up to rule out ear infection or wax, and then focus on TMJ treatment if all else is normal.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN. OF TREATMENT

☑️INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Dashmoolaristha 30ml-0-30ml after food – for joint inflammation and stiffness.

2 Stresscom 1-0-1 – to calm stress and reduce muscle tightness.

3 Simhanada Guggulu 2-0-2 after food for chronic pain and stiffness.

☑️LOCAL TREATMENT

-Gentle massage around jaw joint, temples, and neck with Mahanarayan Taila -Apply mild heat fomentation (warm towel) after massage.

☑️FOR. EAR Put Vachalahsunadi taila put 2 drops in each ear

☑️Lifestyle & exercises Practice jaw relaxation exercises: Slowly open and close the mouth without strain. Side-to-side jaw movements gently. Stop if pain increases.

Stress reduction – regular pranayama (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari), meditation, and proper sleep. Avoid habits like clenching jaw or grinding teeth.

Your ear discomfort and neck pain are likely due to TMJ strain, not a primary ear problem.

TMJ can affect jaw, ear, head, and neck but does not usually spread to other organs.

With jaw care, stress control, Ayurvedic oil massage, gentle exercises, and soft diet, your symptoms can improve.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

It’s better to consult ENT surgeon to look for infection or any ear drum issues And DENTIST opinion for any relaxation therapies

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.

Thank you for reaching out. Based on the symptoms you’ve described, which include TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues for three years, neck pain, headaches (particularly in the lower part near the neck), ear pain, and a feeling of discomfort in your ears, it’s possible that these symptoms are all interconnected. The TMJ is located very close to the ear, and problems with the joint can often radiate pain to the surrounding areas, including the ears, neck, and head. ​To determine if your ears are okay, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional. A doctor can perform a physical examination and may recommend further tests to rule out any underlying ear infections or other ear-related issues. An ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist would be the most suitable professional to evaluate your ears and determine the exact cause of the discomfort and pain you are experiencing.

​In Ayurveda, TMJ disorders and related symptoms like neck pain, headaches, and ear pain are often associated with an imbalance of the Vata dosha. Vata is the energy of movement, and when it is aggravated, it can lead to various issues, including: ​Pain and stiffness: Vata is responsible for nerve impulses and sensations. An excess of Vata can cause pain, stiffness, and cracking sounds in the joints, like those often heard in TMJ disorders.
​Headaches: Vata-type headaches are often described as throbbing or pulsating and can be felt in the back of the head or neck.
​Ear pain and discomfort: Vata governs the sense of hearing and the space element (Akasha), which is related to the ears. An imbalance can lead to ear pain, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), or a feeling of fullness.

​Warmth and oil application (Abhyanga): Massaging the jaw, neck, and head with warm sesame oil or a Vata-pacifying oil can help soothe the nerves and muscles, reduce stiffness, and calm the Vata dosha.
​Dietary recommendations: A Vata-pacifying diet generally includes warm, cooked, and nourishing foods. It is recommended to avoid cold, dry, and raw foods.
​ Treatment 1) triphala gugglu - 1 tab before food 3 times a day

2) ashwagnadha churna-3 gm after food 2 times

3 dashmoolarishta - 2 tsf after food 3 times

4) iremedadi oil - gargaling

HELLO NIKITA,

-The TMJ is the hinge joint connecting your jawbone to the skull, located just in front of the ear -It helps in chewing, talking, yawing, swallowing -when this joint or the muscles around it get stressed or imbalanced, you may feel –pain in jaw, ear, temple, neck or back of head –clicking/ popping sounds while opening or closing mouth –difficulty or pain while chewing –ear symptoms (fullness, pain, ringing, discomfort) even though the ear is normal –headaches and neck stiffness

So, your symptoms - neck pain, headaches near lower neck, ear discomfort from and back- all fit well with TMJ disorder

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN -Excessive chewing/clenching/teeth grinding (especially during stress) -poor posture (looking at phone/computer long hours, neck bent) -stress and anxiety (jaw muscles stay tight) -injury to jaw or dental misalignment

Ayurveda sees this as mainly a Vata imbalance in the head/face and joint region -vata aggravation causes pain, stiffness, cracking sounds, radiating discomfort -sometimes kapha adds heaviness or stiffness; rarely pitta adds burning or inflamation

TREATMENT GOALS -Pacify vata- reduce pain, instability, dryness -relieve stiffness and improve joint lubrication -relax muscles, reduce stress -strengthen jaw, neck, nervous system -prevent recurrence with diet and lifestyle

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= MAHANARAYAN TAILA -gentle circular massage around TMJ, temples, neck, shoulders, 10 minutes daily =relieves stiffness, improves blood circulation, calms vata

2) HOT FOMENTATION -After oil massage, apply warm towel or steam to jaw, and neck =reduces pain, relaxes tight muscles

3) NASYA -instill 2 drops of shad Bindu taila in each nostril morning after massage and steam =balances vata in head region, reduces headache and ear/jaw discomfort

4) GANDUSHA / KAVALA (oil pulling) -warm sesame oil in mouth for 2-3 minutes swish daily then spit =strengthens jaw muscles , reduces strain, calms nervous system

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily with warm water before meals =antiniflammatory, vata pacifying, relieves pain and stiffness

2) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =stress relief, muscle relaxation, strengthens nerves

3) YASHTIMADHU POWDER= 2 g with warm water once daily =soothing, anti inflammatory, helpful if burning sensation or dryness present

4) RASNADI CHURNA= for external application on head after bath =prevents headaches from vata imbalance

5) BALA-ASHWAGANDHADHI TAILA= can be given orally in small doses 2-3drops daily =strengthen nerves , lubricates joints

DURATION= usually 6-8 weeks minimum,

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -avoid chewing gum, biting nails, very hard foods- nuts, raw carrots, popcorn etc -do not keep mouth open too wide (while yawing, dental visits, singing loudly) -maintain good postures= sit straight, avoid bending neck long hours -stress management- meditation, journaling, deep breathing -sleep well 7-8 hours, avoid late nights

YOGA AND PRANAYAM

JAW RELAXATION= slowly open and close jaw with out strain, side-to-side gentle movement

NECK STRETCHES= forward bend, side tilt, gentle rotation avoid sided jerks

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances vata -Bhramari= relieves stress, good for headache and ear pressure -Ujjayi= relaxes throat and jaw muscles

DIET -prefer warm, soft, well cooked meals

INCLUDE -milk, ghee, warm soups, rice, dal, cooked vegetables -spices like ginger, cumin, ajwain improve digestion and circulation

AVOID -dry, cold, raw foods- chips, salads, cold drinks -caffeine, excessive spicy food, sour, and fermented items can irritate nerves

HOME REMEDIES -warm sesame oil massage on jaw and neck daily -clove oil diluted with sesame oil applied externally for pain relief -ginger tea for inflamamtion and circulation -turmeric with warm milk at night

INVESTIGATIONS -ENT checkup if ear pain is persistent, to rule out infection or ear disease -Dental checkup (malocclusion, teeth grinding at night) -X-ray/MRI of TMJ if severe locking, clicking, or limited movement

With consistent care, most patients see major improvement in 6-8 weeks

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

TMJ disorder can indeed affect other parts of your body, including the neck, head, and ears, as you are experiencing. In Ayurveda, this might relate to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and is often involved in conditions affecting bones, muscles and joints.

The neck pain and headaches you’re experiencing, especially in the lower part near the neck, suggest that the imbalance may be affecting your cervical area, a common issue linked with TMJ disorder. The ear discomfort and pain near and around the ears could indicate that there’s an involvement of the areas connected to the temporomandibular joint itself compromising perhaps it’s normal function.

It’s crucial to seek medical assessment to ensure your ear health. There may be an underlying issue that requires a specialist’s evaluation. In the context of Ayurveda, you may consider adopting certain lifestyle and dietary changes to help balance your Vata and alleviate symptoms. Practicing gentle yoga postures that focus on the neck and jaw areas can help; poses like the “Surya Bhedana” pranayama may be beneficial to enhance blood flow and reduce tension.

You can try applying warm sesame oil or using medicated oils like “Mahanarayana Taila” for gentle massages around the jaw, neck, and ear area. This can help relax muscles and ease discomfort.

Dietary modifications that favor warm, moist, and easily digestible foods might also be helpful. Avoid cold, raw, and extremely dry foods, which can aggravate Vata. Include grounding foods like sweet potatoes, rice, and soups.

Finally, if stress is contributory, practice meditation or deep breathing exercises as they might help reduce overall tension and improve your symptoms. For persistent issues, or if you notice worsening symptoms, don’t delay in consulting with healthcare professionals who can offer personalized advise or treatment.

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 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. 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. 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. 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. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

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

Dr. Vinayak Kamble
I am about 1 year into my practice journey n honestly that feels both small n big at the same time. When I first started, I wasn’t sure how quickly I could adjust from academic space into real clinical care, but gradually with each patient I learnt something more. My main focus is on pain management—conditions like knee joint pain, sciatica, lumbar back ache, spondylitis, tennis elbow, golfer elbow, frozen shoulder, heel pain etc. I try to combine careful diagnosis with treatments rooted in Ayurveda yet explained in practical way so patients don’t feel lost. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes quick, but always there is learning in it. During this year I also kept my dedication toward research and evidence-based approach. I worked on presenting ideas and papers in academic forums whenever I got chance, and even managed to publish in journals that value Ayurveda in modern context. That gave me confidence that my small contributions can add to bigger discussions in medical field. In my postgraduate study I had finished Medicine with top score in my batch, which felt rewarding but also left me with responsibility to keep proving that I deserve that position. Honestly, academic achievements are good but real test is when someone walks in pain and goes back with relief, even if just partial at first. Sometimes patients expect instant cure, n that is where I try to keep balance—explaining how pain relief in conditions like frozen shoulder or spondylitis may take staged approach, while also keeping them hopeful. Ayurveda gives a framework but patient trust makes the treatment effective. One year is not a long time but it has been enough to show me the value of consistency, clarity and listening more than talking. My aim is not just treating pain but helping people understand their body better, manage lifestyle triggers, and feel supported in the journey of healing!!

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. 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.
