HELLO SMITA,

You are exeriencing -burning in the mouth especially with spicy/salty foods -persistent dryness of mouth - cracks/soreness at lip corners -acidity

IN MODERN MEDICINE TERMS -These symptoms can result from acid relfux, dry mouth due to medications, nutritional deficiencies, or oral fungal infection -Metformin is known to lower vitamin b12 levels, which can cause mouth burning and soreness -strains sometimes cause oral dryness or taste disturbances

In Ayurvedicterms -This is mainly urdhwaga amlapitta (acid moving upward) with Pitta aggravation (burning, acidity, inflammation) and vata involvement (dryness, soreness, cracking) -The goal is to pacify pitta, nourish tissues, reduce dryness ,and strengthen digestion without increasing acidity

TREATMENT GOALS -relieve burning and dryness. in the mouth -correct underlying pitta aggravation -nourish and lubricate tissues -correct nutritional deficinecies if present -improve digestion without aggravating aciidty -prevent recurrence by adopting the right diet and lifestyle

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals twice daily =balances acidity, relieves burning

2) YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1 tsp mixed with warm milk once daily =soothes mucosa, reduces dryness

3) SHATAVARI POWDER= 1 tsp with milk at night =cooling, nourishing, balances pitta and dryness

4) AMALAKI CAPSULES= 1 daily =rich in vitamin c, antioxidants, supports tissue healing

DURATION= usually 2-3 months

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1) OIL PULLING= swish 1-2 tsp of coconut oil in the mouth for 5-10 minutes daily, then spit =reduces dryness, heals soreness, antimicrobial

2) LIP CARE= apply pure ghee at night on lips and corners

3) MOUTH RINSE= triphala decoction or licorice water gargle at bedtime = soothes burning, prevents infection

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Eat calmly, ar regular times- avoid skipping meals -do not lie down immediately after meals; keep at least 2-3 hours gap before bedtime -reduce late night sleeping; sleep is cooling and restorative for pitta - manage stress (pitta Is aggravated by anger, overwork, tension)

DIET -favour= milk, ghee, soaked raisins, dates, sweet fruits (pear, apple, banana), coconut water, cucumber, pumpkin, bottle gourd, rice, mung dal, barley

-Avoid= chilli, excess salt, sour curd, vinegar, fried foods, pickles, citrus in excess, alcohol, coffee, smoking

HOME REMEDIES -drink coriander seed water-soak overnight strain, sip in morning -chew a small piece of licorice stick when burning sensation appears -drink aloe vera juice 2-3 tsp in water, empty stomach once daily

YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana after meals- aids digestion -shashankasana- cooling -supta baddha konasana

PRANAYAM -Sheetali/sheetkari -nadi sodhana

MEDITATION -10-15 minutes daily to reduce stress- driven pitta aggravation

Your condition seems like a mix of acidity plus possible nutritional deficiencies effect, worsened by dryness. Ayurveda looks at this as excess pitta heat damaging the mouth tissues, while dryness comes from vata. Treatment is about cooling, nourishing, and lubricating from inside and outside

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

Firstly, the symptoms you describe, such as mouth burning, dryness, and lips sores, might partially stem from the medication you are currently taking. Some pharmaceuticals, like Metformin, can potentially affect oral health and influence conditions like dry mouth. However, this is not an exhaustive conclusion, and evaluation by a healthcare professional is important to rule out other causes.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms suggest an imbalance of Pitta dosha, which is responsible for heat and metabolic processes in the body. This imbalance can manifest as burning sensations, inflammation, and increased acidity. The first step to address this is to pacify Pitta with dietary and lifestyle adjustments.

Firstly, try to avoid spicy, oily, and excessively salty foods as much as possible; opt for a Pitta-pacifying diet which includes cooling and soothing foods such as sweet fruits, cucumbers, zucchini, and coconut water. Incorporate plenty of hydrating fluids, like water or herbal teas, to manage the dry mouth symptoms.

Aloe vera juice can be consumed daily, about 20 ml on an empty stomach, to soothe inflammation internally. Triphala powder, traditionally used for balancing all doshas, can be taken at night in warm water to support digestion and cleanse toxins. To address inflammation, consider Turmeric milk with a pinch of black pepper at night; this can reduce inflammatory symptoms, infuse warmth and provided you’re not sensitive to dairy.

Beyond diet, practice stress-relieving activities such as yoga, but avoid hot yoga. Take time for cooling breaths, like Sheetali pranayama, which can aid in reducing internal heat.

Importantly, consult your physician regarding drug interactions and any adjustments in your current medications that may be necessary. The side effects of your medications might need professional consideration. Emergency symptoms, such as intense lip inflammation or uncontrollable acidity, require immediate medical attention.

​You are describing symptoms of severe acidity, mouth burns, dry mouth, and sore lips, which started about two months ago. You also mentioned that you have diabetes and are taking several medications, including Metformin, Saroglitazar, and Rosuvastatin. You are 65 years old. ​ ​

​In Ayurveda, your symptoms of severe acidity, mouth burns, and dry mouth are primarily associated with an aggravation of Pitta dosha. Pitta is the fiery and transformative energy in the body. When it becomes excessive, it can lead to heat-related conditions.

​Severe Acidity and Mouth Burns (Amlapitta): This is a classic Pitta imbalance. “Amla” means sour and “Pitta” refers to the fiery dosha. The sour and burning sensations in your mouth are a direct manifestation of this imbalance. This is often linked to poor digestion, irregular eating habits, and consuming Pitta-aggravating foods.

​Dry Mouth and Sore Lips: While dryness is typically a Vata dosha symptom, in your case, it could be a combination of Vata and Pitta. The heat from excess Pitta can “dry up” the body’s natural moisture (Kapha), leading to dryness. The sore lips could also be a result of the same heat imbalance, as the skin around the mouth becomes sensitive and inflamed. ​Eating Spicy and Salty Food: Both spicy and salty foods are considered Pitta-aggravating in Ayurveda. Spicy food increases heat, and salty food can also lead to inflammation and fluid retention, further contributing to the imbalance. ​Connection to Your Chronic Illnesses and Medications

​Diabetes (Madhumeha): Diabetes is often considered a complex disorder in Ayurveda involving all three doshas, but with a significant imbalance of Kapha and Vata. The dry mouth and a tendency towards burning sensations can be part of the diabetic picture. High blood sugar levels can also affect the health of your oral tissues. ​Medications: Some medications, including those for diabetes, can have side effects like dry mouth (xerostomia). It’s important to discuss this with your prescribing doctor to see if any of your medications are contributing to your symptoms.

​Ayurvedic Recommendations (General) ​Based on this perspective, the Ayurvedic approach would focus on pacifying the aggravated Pitta dosha and supporting your digestive system. ​1. Diet (Aahara): ​Focus on Pitta-Pacifying Foods: Favor foods that are cooling, sweet, and bitter. ​Grains: Rice, oats, barley. ​Vegetables: Cucumber, leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, pumpkin. ​Fruits: Sweet fruits like melons, grapes, sweet apples, pears, and coconut. ​Legumes: Mung beans, lentils. ​Dairy (in moderation): Milk, ghee, and unsalted butter. ​Oils: Ghee and coconut oil. ​Avoid Pitta-Aggravating Foods: Reduce or eliminate foods that are sour, salty, spicy, and pungent. ​Spices: Chili, black pepper, and excessive ginger. ​Fermented Foods: Yogurt, vinegar. ​Sour Fruits: Citrus fruits, tomatoes. ​Salty Snacks: Chips, processed foods. ​Nightshades: Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants (in excess). ​Timing and Habits: ​Eat regular meals and avoid skipping meals. ​Chew your food thoroughly. ​Avoid eating when angry or stressed. ​Drink lukewarm water, not ice-cold water, which can dampen digestive fire. ​2. Lifestyle (Vihara): ​Stress Management: Stress and anger are major Pitta triggers. Practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises (Pranayama), and gentle yoga can be very beneficial. ​Sleep: Ensure you get adequate and restful sleep. Go to bed before 10 PM. ​Avoid Sun and Heat: Limit exposure to direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day. ​3. Ayurvedic Herbs and Remedies

1) kamdugha rasa 250mg - before food 3 times with ghee

2) avipattikara churna- 3 gm before food with milk 3 times

3) bhunimbadi kashaya 20 ml before food

​For Dry Mouth: Chewing on a small piece of fennel seeds (Saunf) after meals can help stimulate saliva production. Sipping on water with a few drops of Ghee can also be moisturizing.or chewing mulethi

​For Oral Sores: Rinsing the mouth with coconut oil (oil pulling) in the morning can be very effective for soothing and healing the oral tissues. ​

Your symptoms suggest an imbalance of pitta dosha, which is linked to excessive heat and inflammatory conditions, particularly affecting the oral cavity. Given your medication regimen for metabolic conditions, it’s essential to approach this with both dietary and lifestyle modifications while considering potential interactions.

First, dietary adjustments can significantly help. Avoid spicy, salty, and acidic foods that aggravate pitta. Instead, incorporate cooling foods like cucumber, aloe vera gel (consume 1 tablespoon mixed with water), and coconut water into your daily intake. These aid in soothing mouth burns and reducing internal heat. Chewing on fresh coriander leaves a couple of times a day could help too—it’s cooling and aids digestion.

Hydration is vital since dryness is a key concern. Keep sipping water throughout the day. You might also try a simple saline mouthwash—mix half a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water to rinse your mouth after meals. This can help cleanse and soothe sore areas.

Including a teaspoon of ghee (clarified butter) in your diet, preferably in the morning, acts as an internal moisturizer, which can mitigate dryness, while also balancing pitta. Ensure this aligns with your dietary restrictions due to your medication.

Herbs like amalaki (Indian gooseberry) or guduchi might be beneficial, due to their cooling properties. Amla juice, diluted in water, taken daily can help—being rich in vitamin C also enhances tissue repair.

Stress management through pranayama or meditation can contribute to overall balance, mitigating pitta’s inflammatory tendencies. Practicing full deep breathing (15 minutes a day) focuses on calming the mind and relieving stress-induced digestive issues.

Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms like severe pain, bleeding, or an inability to eat or drink develop, because this could suggest a more serious underlying issue that requires allopathic intervention. Balancing your medication’s side effects with Ayurvedic approaches should be done under guidance to ensure compatibility and safety.

Dr. Arun Desai
I am Dr. Arun Desai, working in Ayurveda for 19+ years now, both online and offline. My clinic, Ayur Sanjivani, is at #44 B 1, Opp Adarsh Laundry, beside Tej Residency, near Kavalemath Somwaar Peth Cross in Tilakwadi, Belgaum – bit of a long address but patients seem to find it just fine. Over time I’ve learned that people today want relief fast but still safe and lasting. That’s where I mix the depth of classical Ayurveda with practical tweaks to suit this fast moving lifestyle. I don’t like giving something that just masks a symptom – I want to get to the root cause whenever possible. At the clinic, I try to keep things warm and easy to talk, not a stiff doctor’s table vibe. Whether it’s diagnosis, a Panchakarma session, or simple counseling, I want patients to feel they can ask anything, even small doubts. Education matters too – when someone understands why a certain diet or lifestyle change is needed, they actually follow it better. Treatments may include herbal formulations, diet charts, yoga routines, exercise plans, detox, anti-stress work – all depending on their prakruti and condition. Over the years, I’ve treated people from many walks of life – each case different, which keeps me learning. Some come for joint pain, some for skin problems, others for lifestyle disorders like diabetes or high BP. I still follow authentic Ayurvedic principles but adapt them so they work in today’s reality. And yes, I’m always updating my knowledge, making sure the practice stays ethical and effective, because for me, Ayurveda isn’t just treatment – it’s a way to help someone rebuild their health from inside out.

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. 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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Dr. 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. 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.
