No Need to worry,

*Based on Ayurvedic principles, your symptoms of discomfort with full range of motion in the knee and sharp, morning heel pain are typically associated with an aggravated Vata dosha. The discomfort after arthroscopy and the heel pain (known as Vatakantaka) suggest imbalances related to the dry, cold, and mobile qualities of Vata, possibly with an accumulation of toxins (ama).

Below are Ayurvedic lifestyle recommendations and detoxification guidance.

AYURVEDIC APPROACH TO KNEE AND HEEL PAIN

DIETARY GUIDELINES TO PACIFY VATA *An anti-inflammatory and nourishing diet is crucial for strengthening the joints and calming Vata. *Choose cooked grains like oats, soups, stews, and root vegetables. *Add nourishing fats like ghee, sesame oil, and olive oil to your meals to help lubricate the joints. * Incorporate turmeric, ginger, and garlic, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. *Stay away from cold, dry, processed, and fried foods. Limit the intake of cold beverages and ice cream. *Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day or herbal teas with ginger or cumin to aid digestion and flush out toxins.

DETOXIFICATION (PANCHAKARMA) *A full Ayurvedic detox, or Panchakarma, can help eliminate the ama (toxins) that contribute to joint pain and stiffness.

Start taking these medications too, 1.Tab. Shallaki 1-0-1 2.Mahayograj guggulu 2-0-2 for chewing. 3.Giloyghanvati 1-1-1

Follow up after 1 month.

Take care😊

Kind Regards, Dr.Isha Ashok Bhardwaj

​Understanding Your Symptoms from an Ayurvedic Perspective

​Knee discomfort and limited range of motion: In Ayurveda, joint issues like yours are often associated with imbalances in Vata dosha, which governs movement. An excess of Vata can lead to dryness, stiffness, and pain in the joints. The previous infection might have also created an imbalance, potentially involving Ama (toxins).

​Heel pain (especially in the morning): This is often a sign of Vata aggravation. The stiffness and pain upon waking are classic symptoms of Vata accumulating overnight. The heel pain could be related to the knee issue, as the body compensates for the knee discomfort, putting extra strain on the heel and foot. It might also be a sign of Ama accumulation. ​General Ayurvedic Lifestyle Recommendations ​1. Diet (Ahara) ​Focus on warm, cooked, and easy-to-digest foods: Soups, stews, kitchari (rice and mung bean porridge), and steamed vegetables are excellent. ​Include healthy fats: Ghee (clarified butter) is highly valued in Ayurveda for its lubricating properties. Sesame oil is also beneficial. ​Avoid Vata-aggravating foods: Minimize cold, dry, and raw foods like salads, crackers, and popcorn. Avoid refined sugar and processed foods. ​Spices: Use warming spices like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper. Turmeric is particularly known for its anti-inflammatory properties. ​2. Daily Routine (Dinacharya) ​Morning Routine: ​Wake up early: Ideally before sunrise, to align with natural rhythms. ​Oil pulling (Gandusha): Swishing sesame oil in the mouth for 10-15 minutes can help with oral hygiene and detox. ​Self-massage (Abhyanga): Massaging your entire body with warm sesame oil before a shower. Pay extra attention to your knees and feet. This practice helps to lubricate the joints, calm the nervous system, and improve circulation. ​Exercise: ​Gentle Movement: Avoid high-impact exercises that strain your knees. ​Yoga: Gentle poses and stretches are beneficial for improving flexibility and joint health. The fact that you can’t do Vajrasana suggests that you need to work on improving the flexibility around the knees and ankles. ​Sleep: ​Establish a consistent sleep schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends. ​Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep: Sleep is a powerful restorative and detoxifying process. ​ ​ Symptoms ​For the Knees: ​Herbal Oils: Consider massaging your knees with specific oils recommended by a practitioner, such as Mahanarayana Thailam or Ksheerabala Thailam. ​Heat Therapy: Applying a hot water bottle or a warm herbal pack to the knee can provide comfort and improve circulation. ​For the Heel Pain: ​Foot Massage: Gently massage your feet and heels with warm sesame oil before bed. ​Stretching: Gentle calf and foot stretches can help reduce stiffness

Hello Bg, I can understand your concern about right knee and heel pain but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ FOR KNEES – Improving Range of Motion

☑️PANCHAKARMA I will recommend you to go for panchakarma therapies for better improvement

1 Abhyanga (oil massage): Warm Maha Narayan Taila and gently massage the knee daily, followed by hot fomentation.

2 Nadi Sweda (steam with Dashmoola decoction): Helps reduce Vata stiffness and improve range of movement.

3 Janu basti with Kottamchukkadi taila ( medicated oil retaining on knees)

☑️Gentle Yoga

👉Practice slow bending and stretching movements like modified Vajrasana, Setubandhasana, and leg raises (without pain). ❌Avoid jerky movements and deep squatting until pain-free.

✅ FOR HEEL PAIN (Morning Pain)

1. Oil Application & Hot Water Soak Massage the sole and heel with Kottamchukkadi Taila before bedtime, followed by warm water soak. This reduces dryness, stiffness, and pain in the fascia.

2. Heel Cushioning Use soft footwear or silicone heel pads to reduce strain while walking.

3. Diet & Lifestyle Avoid walking barefoot on hard cold floors. Morning gentle stretching of calf muscles and sole before stepping down from bed prevents pain flare-up.

✅INTERNAL AYURVEDIC MEDICATION

1 Rasnadi kashaya 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water after food (reduces inflammation and supports flexibility) 2 Mahayogaraj guggulu 2-0-2 after food (for joint stiffness and Vata regulation.) 3 Shallaki 1-0-1 after food – act as natural anti-inflammatory and strengthen joints.

✅DIET MODIFIACTION

Warm, light, freshly cooked food. Avoid excess sour, fermented, and cold foods. Include turmeric, dry ginger, garlic, and ajwain in daily cooking. Hydration: Sip warm water through the day to clear Ama (toxins).

✅ With consistent local care, internal Rasayana, and gentle physiotherapy, you can reduce heel pain within 4–6 weeks and gradually improve knee range of motion.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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

HELLO,

1) KNEE ISSUE AFTER ARTHROSCOPY -You had an infection in the knee joint, and fluid (synovial fluid) was removed -Even though infection is controlled, the knee has residual stiffness and pain on deep bending (like in vajrasana) -Ayurveda explains this as a combination of vata imbalance (causing stiffness and pain) and leftover ama (toxins/inflammation)

Condition in Ayurvedic terms= Sandhigata vata with Ama (joint affected by vata with toxin involvement)

2) HEEL PAIN -Heel pain is worst in morning after waking up-> classical sign of plantar fasciitis or Vatakantaka in Ayurveda -Reason - over night stagnation of kapha + vata dryness -pain improves gradually after walking for some time

Condition in Ayurvedic terms= vata-kapha imbalance at the heel

TREATMENT GOALS -remove ama (toxins, inflammatory residue) from the body -balance vata to relieve stiffness and pain -strengthen muscles, ligaments, and cartilage around the knee and heel -improve range of motion of knee gradually -prevent recurrence of infection or degeneration -promote overall health with Ayurvedic lifestyle and rejuvination

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =removes ama, balances vata-kapha, reduces stiffness

2) SHALLAKI EXTRACT= 500mg twice daily with warm water =natural anti-inflammatory protects joints

3) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime =strengthens muscles, reduces vata rejuvinates

4) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =reduces edema and inflammation

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm wtaer =detox, regulates digestion, clears ama

DURATION= minimum 6-8 weeks

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE -daily massage with Mahanarayan taila on knee + heel + calf =improves blood flow, reduces stiffness

2) After massage, apply hot fomentation with towel =helps relieve pain, softens tissues

3) LEPA -HEEL= apply castor oil+ dry ginger paste at night cover with cotton and socks -KNEE= warm medicated oil compress

DIET -warm, freshly cooked food, easy to digest -whole grains- wheat, old rice, barley -moong dal, green gram soup -vegetables= gourds, pumpkin, spinach, drumstick leaves -ghee in moderation= lubricates joints -spices= dry ginger, turmeric, ajwain, garlic, fenugreek -herbal teas= ginger- coriander-cumin

AVOID -cold, heavy, oily, junk food -excess curd, cheese, panner, refrigerated food -too much potato, brinjal, tomato -fermented foods, bakery products -excess tea/coffee, alcohol

YOGA (avoid strain) -Setu bandhasana= strengthens knee and back -Supta padangusthasana = improves knee ROM -Baddha konasana= improves flexibility -Tadasana= improves posture and heel balance

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom = balances doshas -bhramari= calms mind, reduces stress -deep diaphragmatic breathing= improves circulation and healing

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -Methi seeds= soak overnight, chew in morning. good for joints -Turmeric milk= 1/2 tsp turmeric in warm milk at night- reduces inf;ammation -warm water sip therapy= keep sipping warm water to clear Ama -heel stretch before standing= gently stretch toes and calf in bed before morning walk

-Your knee stiffness and heel pain are related to vata-kapha imbalance with Ama after surgery and infection -Ayurvedic management is holistic= remove toxins, balance doshas, strengthen tissues, and prevent recurrence -With internal medications + oil massage/steam + yoga + diet corrections, you can expect -reduced heel pain in 4-6 weeks -gradual improvement in knee range of motion in 2-3 months -better overall energy and immunity with rasayana

Hi bg this is Dr Vinayak as considering your problem… No need to worry… But due infection as fluid in knee joint is removed so for that reason the range of movement will be reduced… You should just maintain the limit …

For heel pain - you just take leaves for calotropis plant…(Search in google) Take that leaves warm them and tie at heel region you will definitely notice changes…

For better results go with panchakarma procedure to get proper treatment

Focusing on right knee’s range of motion and heel pain requires a holistic Ayurvedic approach. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it seems there’s an imbalance in the Vata and possibly Pitta doshas. Enhancing your knee’s flexibility can be supported by targeted asana practice and lifestyle changes. Begin by applying warm sesame oil to the affected knee area before a gentle massage, this may help soothe stiffness and aid in daily flexibility exercises. Performing Sukshma Vyayama or subtle exercises will involve gently working your knee through its complete range, ensuring you do not feel a pain. Incorporating Mahanarayan taila can further benefit joint health and is traditionally used for such conditions.

As for heel pain, or Plantar Fasciitis as it’s often called, soaking your feet daily in a warm water basin with Epsom salts, combined with a few drops of essential oils like eucalyptus or lavender, could provide relief. After soaking, massage the soles with castor oil before bedtime. Transitioning to supportive footwear will minimize strain first thing in the mroning.

Detoxification—an effective Ayurvedic process called Panchakarma. To start with, consider a course of Shodhana (purification therapy), with procedures such as Virechana (purgation) or Basti (medicated enema) under the guidance of a professional. Incorporate a dosa-balancing diet like Kitchari for a week or two. Favor warm, cooked foods rich in spices like ginger and turmeric.

Lifestyle adjustments such as refraining from cold or damp climates, reducing dairy consumption, and maintaining regular sleep schedule are beneficial. Keeping stress levels in check with Pranayama sessions, like Bhramari or Anulom Vilom, is also recommended as they’re known to harmonize the body’s energy levels.

Though these suggestions can complement healing, maintaining regular consultations with healthcare professionals for ongoing assessments is crucial, especially given recent arthroscopy. If pain intensifies or symptoms persist, seek immediate medical attention.

To address heel pain and enhance knee mobility post-arthroscopy, focus on balancing your doshas and supporting joint health. For the heel pain, often caused by an imbalance in vata dosha, applying warm sesame oil to your feet before bed can be beneficial. Gently massage your heels to improve circulation and reduce stiffness. Soak your feet in warm water with Epsom salts for added relief once a week.

For your knee, practicing restorative yoga can increase flexibility and range of motion - avoid strain by using props like cushions. Ashwagandha and Shatavari, taken under guidance, can help with inflammation and improve joint strength. Daily application of warm Mahanarayan oil on the knee may ease discomfort and promote healing. Practice gentle knee exercises to regain flexibility but listen to your body and avoid overexertion.

Diet plays a crucial role in detoxifying your body and reducing inflammation. Consume fresh, healthy, warm meals favoring anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger, and green leafy vegetables. Avoid processed and excessively pitta-aggravating food items like spicy or fried foods.

Kapha-type people should minimize dairy and sugar. Hydrate with warm water throughout the day to facilitate detoxification. Herbal teas containing coriander, cumin, and fennel can help maintain digestive health and detoxify your system.

Remember, persistent or severe symptoms should not be ignored and seeking immediate medical consultation is important to rule out complications. These Ayurvedic approaches can complement your current treatments aiming for gentle, ongoing improvement in symptoms and overall health.

Dr. Ayush Varma
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 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!!

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. 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.

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

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

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

Dr. 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. 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. 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. Yash batra
I am someone who’s always been drawn to the deeper side of healing—not just treating the disease but seeing the whole person behind it. That’s what led me into Ayurvedic medicine, and over the years, I’ve stayed rooted in its classical principles while also adapting modern clinical insights where they make sense. It’s not about choosing one or the other. Honestly, it’s more about finding a balance that actually helps real people. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes surprising. But it works. I’ve been actively working in patient care and diagnosis for a while now—long enough to have seen all sorts of conditions, both chronic and short-term, mild and a bit scary. Each case teaches something new. I manage everything from gut issues to hormonal imbalances, joint problems, respiratory stuff... and yeah, those lifestyle disorders that sneak up on folks like blood pressure, diabetes and all that. Most people come in with one thing, but it’s usually connected to a bunch of other stuff they didn’t even realize. That’s where holistic care really matters. Preventive healthcare is also a big part of what I do—probably more than some expect. It’s not just about herbs or medicine, but guiding people through sleep routines, food habits, emotional patterns too (though that part’s tricky). Sometimes people expect quick fixes, but I’ve found that explaining things in simple words, giving them tools to take charge of their own health, that’s where real change happens. I do that through health counseling, natural therapies, detox protocols... and plain honest talk. There’s no single “correct” formula I use, but I try to stay grounded in Ayurvedic principles—prakriti, agni, dosha balance—and blend them with a clinical perspective when needed. I’m still learning, by the way. Medicine isn’t a finish line. Every patient kinda resets the clock. And yes, sometimes I doubt if I’m doing enough, but then someone comes back after months and says something changed for them. That’s when it clicks. If you’re looking for someone who’ll throw a textbook at you, I’m not that. But if you want someone who listens, asks too many questions maybe, and looks at your health like it actually means something—then maybe we’d work well together.
