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 HARSHITA,

From what you’ve shared- sneezing, watery white discharge, blocked/runny nose, throat irritation, worsens at night and morning, aggravated by wind and cold head baths- this fits the Ayurvedic condition called PRATHISHYAYA (rhinitis) -Kapha dosha(heaviness, coldness, stickiness) is increased-> leads to excess mucus, nasal blockage, watery discharge -Vata dosha (movement , dryness, instability) is also disturbed-> causing sneezing, irritation, worsening at night and early morning -Ama (toxins/undigested material) may be contributing, making the discharge persistent

So ayurvedic sees this as a vata-kapha imbalance, not just “cold”

TREATMENT GOALS -relieve sympotoms= reduce sneezing, nasal discharge, throat irritation -Balance doshas= pacify vata (irritation, sneezing) and kapha (congestion, mucus) -improve immunity = so you don’t keep catching colds easily -prevent chronicity= avoid sinusitis, allergic rhinits, or asthma tensendices

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SHITOPALADI + TALISADI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp each with honey twice daily after meals =balances kapha, relieves cough, sneezing, strengthens lungs, good if throat irritation is prominent

2) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp with warm water in morning =dries excess kapha, improves digestion, removes Ama

3) HARIDRA MILK AT NIGHT= anti inflammatory, improves immunity

4) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs in morning =strengthens immunity, reduces allergic tendencies

DURATION= 2-4 weeks

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS

1) STEAM INHALATION= boil water with tulsi, pudina, or eucalyptus oil twice daily =opens blocked nasal and throat channels, melts mucus

2) SALT-TURMERIC GARGLE= warm water + 1 pinch turmeric + rock salt for 2-3 time daily =reduces swelling, disinfects throat

3) CHEST MASSAGE= use warm sesame oil with a pinch of camphor, rub gently on chest and throat nightly =improves circulation, relieves tightness in. chest

4) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril in morning =clears channels, reduces recurrence

5)OIL PULLING= swish sesame oil in the mouth in morning =removes oral bacterial ,soothes throat

LIFESTYLE AND ROUTINE ADJUSTMENTS -Stay away from AC, direct air, fans at night , and dusty areas -Use humidifier or keep a water bowl in room to reduce dryness -sleep early, avoid day naps, and keep head elevated at night -avoid talking too much if your throat is hurting -do not suppress natural urges (cough sneeze, burp)- they worsen dosha imbalance.

DIET- general guidelines

WHAT TO EAT -light, warm, easily digestible food- khichdi, soups, green moong dal -cooked vegetables with warming spives- ginger, cumin, black pepper -warm water throughout the day (can boil with tulsi or dry ginger) -steamed or sauteed seasonal vegetables -herbal teas= tulsi ginger, cinnamon-clove,fennel-coriander

AVOID -curd, banana, cold drinks, refrigerated foods -fried, oily, junk food -wheat-heavy food if mucus is too sticky -nightshades like potatoes and brinjal if phlegm is severe

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana= open lungs -setu bandhasana -marjariasana-bitilasana -matsyasana

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= balances vata and kapha -Bhramari= calms throat and mind -Ujjayi= soothes throat and improves breathing

EFFECTIVE AYURVEDIC HOME REMEDIES

1) TULSI-GINGER-HONEY SYRUP -crush 5 tulsi leaves + 1 tsp ginger juice+ 1 tsp honey take 2 times daily

2) GOLDEN MILK -1 cup milk + 1/4 tsp turmeric + pinch of black pepper at bedtime

3) AJWAIN + GUD MIX -roast ajwain, mix with jaggery and a little ghee -make a pea sized balls and take 1 daily

4) FENNEL-CORIANDER TEA -boil 1 tsp fennel + 1 crushed green cardamon -sip warm to soothe the throat

5) Chewing 4-5 black peppercorns with honey reduces sneezing

6) apply warm mustard oil with ajwain fumes near the nose to reduce blockages

This condition is very common at your age and usually not dangerous, but it can really drag your energy down.Ayurveda aims not just to stop the discharge and sneezing but to strengthen your system so you don’t fall into this cycle repeatedly.

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELFPUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Hello Harshita,

I can understand your concern. From your history cold for 3 weeks, running nose, blocked nose, watery discharge, sneezing, throat irritation worsening at night and morning, aggravated after wind exposure and cold head bath but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Sitopaladi Churna with honey – ½ tsp, twice daily after meals; excellent for cold, sneezing, throat irritation. 2 Talisadi Churna ½ tsp with honey – helps in runny nose, mild cough, and strengthens lungs. 3 Chyawanprash (1 tsp daily in morning with warm milk) – boosts immunity, prevents recurrence. 4 Dashmoolkatutreya ks tab 2-0-2 after food

✅NASAL AND LOCAL CARE (Most Important)

Anu Taila Nasya – 2 drops of lukewarm oil in each nostril every morning after steam inhalation; clears blocked sinuses, prevents recurrence.

Steam inhalation – with ajwain seeds, tulsi leaves, or eucalyptus oil for 5 minutes, twice daily.

Gargle with warm turmeric-salt water once daily to soothe throat irritation.

✅HOME REMEDIES

👉Roast ajwain seeds, tie in a cloth, and inhale the warm fumes to relieve nasal blockage.

👉Drink warm water with pinch of turmeric + black pepper twice a day to boost immunity.

👉Chew 5–6 Tulsi leaves daily.

👉Tulsi + Ginger + Black pepper decoction – drink warm, 1–2 times daily, to melt Kapha.

✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE

✅DOs

Take light, warm food: vegetable soups, moong dal khichdi,herbal teas. Drink only warm water; avoid chilled drinks. Cover head and neck properly when going in wind. Practice Pranayama (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari) daily for better lung function.

❌ Avoid Cold items: curd, banana, ice creams, cold drinks, refrigerated food. Heavy oily food, excess sweets, refined food – all increase Kapha and mucus. Daytime sleeping (causes Kapha accumulation). Frequent head baths in cold weather.

✅Long-Term Management

Nasya with Anu Taila is the single most effective remedy for preventing recurrent colds, allergic rhinitis, and sinus issues.

Regular immunity tonics help in long-term prevention.

Strengthening digestion and immunity is the key to prevent repeated episodes.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

It appears that you’re dealing with symptoms that are consistent with an aggravated Kapha dosha, which can cause increased mucus production, blockages in the nasal passages and respiratory discomfort. First, it’s crucial to recognize that cold weather, exposure to wind, and head baths can indeed aggravate cold symptoms due to increased Kapha, and need to be managed properly.

To help balance the Kapha and alleviate your symptoms, consider incorporating the following Ayurvedic approaches:

Diet: Warm, light and easily digestible foods are ideal. Focus on spicy, bitter, and astringent tastes that can help mitigate Kapha. Prepare your meals with warming spices like ginger, black pepper, cumin and turmeric. These spices can help decongest and reduce mucus formation. Also, slightly reduce dairy intaket to prevent further mucus buildup.

Steam Inhalation: Perform steam inhalation 2-3 times a day with eucalyptus oil, which can help relief nasal blockage and soothe your airways. The warmth loosens the congestion, while the eucalyptus helps in opening up the nasal passages.

Herbal Remedies: Consider taking a tea made from ginger, tulsi (holy basil), and black pepper. These herbs can be boiled in water, strained, and consumed warm. This brew assists in thinning mucus and enhancing respiratory function. A pinch of cinnamon can be added for extra warmth.

Avoid Exposure: Protect yourself from cold wind and try avoiding head baths during cold days. Cover your head and ears to prevent the chill from exacerbating the symptoms.

Lifestyle Adjustments: Sleep well and maintain a routine to strengthen your body’s immunity. Avoid sleeping during the day and stay active to balance Kapha.

If symptoms persist or worsen, consult with an Ayurveda physician to assess your particular condition and suggests tailored treatments. Immediate medical attention should be sought if there are severe symptoms or difficulties in breathing.

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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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!!

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.
