Dr. Khushboo
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

It sounds like you are experiencing a cluster of symptoms related to poor digestion, specifically hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), which can lead to undigested food in your stool and a rapid transit time (fast digestion). The urge to go to the bathroom soon after eating is also a common symptom of a digestive system that isn’t functioning optimally.

​Here’s an overview of some potential remedies for these issues, from a holistic perspective that incorporates principles of Ayurveda. ​Understanding the Root Cause from an Ayurvedic Perspective ​In Ayurveda, digestion is considered the cornerstone of health. The digestive fire, known as Agni, is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. Poor digestion is often attributed to a weak or imbalanced Agni.
​The symptoms you’ve described—hypochlorhydria, undigested food, and rapid digestion—suggest a few potential imbalances: ​Weak Mandagni (slow, weak digestive fire): This is a common cause of poor digestion.
​Vata Imbalance: Vata dosha governs movement, and an excess of Vata can lead to rapid, erratic digestion and a feeling of urgency. ​Pitta Imbalance: While Pitta is associated with strong digestive fire, an imbalanced Pitta can cause inflammation and a sense of urgency.

​Remedies for Poor Digestion ​1. Dietary Adjustments ​Eat Mindfully: Avoid eating on the go or while stressed. Sit down for your meals and chew your food thoroughly. This is the first step of digestion and is crucial for breaking down food particles. ​Warm, Cooked Foods: Favor warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods like soups, stews, and steamed vegetables. These are easier for a weak Agni to process.
​Avoid Cold and Raw Foods: Cold foods and drinks can dampen Agni. Limit or avoid ice water, cold salads, and raw vegetables, especially on an empty stomach.
​Eat Lighter Meals: Overloading your stomach can overwhelm your digestive system. Eat smaller, more frequent meals if needed. ​Sour Foods: Foods with a sour taste, like a small amount of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar before a meal, can stimulate stomach acid production.

​2. Herbal and Spice Remedies ​Ginger: Known as a universal medicine in Ayurveda, ginger is excellent for kindling Agni. Drink a small amount of warm ginger tea before or with your meals.
​Cumin, Coriander, and Fennel (CCF) Tea: This is a classic Ayurvedic digestive aid. It helps to balance all three doshas and improves digestion. To make it, add 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds to 4-5 cups of water. Boil for 10 minutes, strain, and sip throughout the day.
​Triphala: This is a powerful Ayurvedic blend of three fruits. It is not an immediate fix but works over time to cleanse and tonify the digestive tract. It is typically taken at night to support elimination.
​Asafoetida (Hing): A pinch of hing cooked with your food, especially legumes and vegetables, can help reduce gas and aid digestion.
​Pippali (Long Pepper): This is another potent herb for strengthening Agni. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before using it, as it is very heating.
​3. Lifestyle Practices ​Stay Hydrated: Drink warm or room-temperature water throughout the day, but avoid drinking large quantities of water during meals, as it can dilute stomach acid. ​Exercise: Gentle movement like walking or yoga can stimulate digestion. A short walk after meals can be particularly helpful.
​Manage Stress: Stress can significantly impact digestion. Incorporate stress-reducing activities like meditation, deep breathing exercises (Pranayama), or gentle yoga into your daily routine.
​4. Specific Remedies for Your Symptoms ​For Hypochlorhydria: ​Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): A popular remedy is to mix 1-2 teaspoons of raw, unfiltered ACV in a small glass of water and drink it 15-20 minutes before a meal. ​Lemon Water: Similar to ACV, drinking warm lemon water before a meal can help prime your stomach for digestion. ​For Undigested Food and Rapid Digestion: ​Chew Your Food Thoroughly: This is the most crucial step. It mechanically breaks down the food and signals to your body to release digestive enzymes. ​Avoid Eating Fruits with Meals: Ayurveda suggests eating fruits separately, as they digest faster than other foods and can cause fermentation when combined. ​

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 RAM,

-With infection the acid gets disturbed-> either too high or too low. In your case, it’s low stomach acid (hypochorhydra)

Because of this -Protiens and fats are not digested properly -> bloating, heaviness, discomfort -Nutrients (iron, B12, etc) are not absorbed-> weakness, weight loss, other health issues -Gut flora (microbes) get disturb -> bloating, gas

In Ayurveda, this is explained as -Mandagni (weak digestion) -Amla pitta (acid disturbance) -Krimi (microbial overgrowth)

So the core problem= weak digestion + bacteria +damaged stomach lining

TREATMENT GOALS -Eradicate bacteria -restore digestive fie -heal stomach and intestines -improve absorption and nourishment -prevent recurrence

PHASE WISE TREATMENT PLAN

PHASE 1= CLEANSING AND KRIMI NASHANA (0-6 weeks) Goal= reduce bacterial load, remove toxins, prepare stomach for healing

INTERNALLY

1) VIDANGA CHURNA= 2 gm with honey, empty stomach =anti bacterial, deworming

2) NEEM TABLET= 500mg once daily in morinng =cleanses infection, balances pitta-kapha

3) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =detox, bowel cleansing, supports flora

EXTERNALLY

-Oil massage with sesame oil=reduces stress, balances vata -Ushnodaka (warm water sipping) throughout the day to clear toxins

HOME REMEDIES -Chew 4-5 tulsi leaves daily -Garlic clove raw in morning if tolerated -Jeera + ajwain + saunf tea after meals

PHSE 2= HEALING AND AGNI DEEPANA (6-12 weeks) Goal= heal stomach lining, slowly increase digestive strength

INTERNALLY

1) YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1 gm with warm milk twice daily in morning and night =heals ulcers, mucosal protection

2) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 3 gm with warm milk in morning =cooling, nourishing

3) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals =improves digestion, reduces bloating

LICORICE + SHATAVRI-> protect stomach from acid and help absorption

HINGWASTAKA-> stimulates agni without harming mucosa

HOME REMEDIES -Amla juice= 10-15 ml daily= vitamin c, heals lining

-Buttermilk with roasted jeera + rock salt after meals improves digestion

PHASE 3= RASYANA AND STRENGTHENING (3-6 MONTHS) Goal= nourishment, weight gain, prevention of recurrence

INTERNALLY

1) CHYAWANPRASH= 1 tsp daily =rasayana, immunity, tissue nourishment

2) ASHWAGANDHA LEHYA= 1 tsp at night with warm milk =strength, weight gain

3) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily =antioxidant, rebuilds gut lining

HOME REMEIDES -Soaked almonds 5-6 daily -warm milk with ghee at night -papaya, pomegranate, apple= gentle fruits for digestion

DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals- khichdi, moong dal soup, rice gruel -cooked vegetables bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd, carrots -Light proteins= moong dal, mung sprouts (lightly cooked), panne (if tolerated) -cow’s ghee small amounts -Fruits= pomegranate, apple (stewed), papaya, amla

AVOID -very spicy, sour, fermented food -pickle, curd at night -coffee, strong tea, alcohol, smoking -raw salads, heavy oily fried food -refined flour, bakery products

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Eat at regular timings, don’t skip meals -eat calmly, chew properly -avoid lying down immediately after meals -sleep early 10 pm, wake up early -manage stress- avoid overthinking and late night screen use

YOGA ASANAS= for digestio , Vata-pitta balance -vajrasana sit 5-10 min after meals -pawanmuktasana - gas release - bhujangasana- improves agni, strengthens stomach -ardha matsyendrasana-stimulates digestion

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances doshas -Bhramari= calms nerves, reduces stress

- low stomach acid is reversible if treated systematically. -Ayurveda treats by removing bacteria, restoring agni, healing lining, and strengthening body. -This needs phase wise , patient approach -Along with medicines, discipline in diet, lifestyle, yoga and stress management is equally important

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Hypochlorhydria, or low stomach acid, results in poor digestion and quick bowel movements. It typically involves an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Ayurvedic approach can help address this issue by strengthening agni, the digestive fire, focusing on enhancing the digestive capabilities.

Firstly, dietary choices must support digestion. Consume warm, freshly cooked meals and avoid cold, raw, or stale foods which are hard to digest. Start meals with a small piece of ginger, sprinkle with lemon juice and a pinch of salt, could stimulate digestive enzymes. Sipping on warm water or herbal teas like ginger, cinnamon, or fennel throughout the day is beneficial.

Herbal remedies include Triphala. Take about 1 gram of Triphala powder before bedtime with warm water for helping regulate bowel movements and improving digestion. Also, Shatavari aids in balancing Pitta, so consider taking it under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Eating routine matters too. Eat at regular intervals, about every 3-4 hours, and ensure dinner is lighter than lunch, ideally before sunset. Smaller, more frequent meals might reduce digestive distress, preventing undigested materials reaching the stool.

Practicing yoga asanas such as Vajrasana, meanwhile, after meals can encourage digestion. Pranayama techniques, like Nadi Shodhana and Anulom Vilom, help balance internal energies and enhance metabolism. Incorporating these for about 10 minutes daily can have a long-term positive impact.

Stress can impact digestion significantly. Incorporate stress-relieving activities into daily life. Whether it’s walking, meditating, or reading, find what brings peace.

However, if symptoms persist, consider visiting an Ayurvedic professional who can provide personalized diagnosis and treatment and ensure conditions are managed properly. If symptoms worsen, it’s crucial to seek medical attention to rule out conditions like infections or inflammatory diseases.

Low stomach acid, or hypochlorhydria, results in poor digestion and can indeed cause food to pass through the stomach without proper breakdown. In Ayurveda, this is often connected to weak agni, or digestive fire, which may be due to imbalanced doshas, particularly vata and kapha. To address this, consider incorporating these approaches:

First, begin your day with a glass of warm, slightly salted water to stimulate digestive secretions. This helps prime your digestive system for the day. During meals, you can chew a small piece of fresh ginger with a bit of rock salt; this can ignite digestive fire and aid in breaking down foods more efficiently.

Include spices like ajwain (carom seeds) and hing (asafoetida) in your cooking as they naturally enhance digestive power. These spices can help to stimulate appetite and regulate the digestive process. You can take a pinch of ajwain with warm water before or after meals to avert post-meal digestive discomfort.

Avoid cold foods and beverages as they can dampen agni and slow digestion. Instead, opt for warm, soupy diets that are easy to digest. Pay attention to meal timings – eat at regular intervals and avoid overeating or undereating.

Breathing exercises (pranayama), particularly the Anulom-Vilom technique, can restore balance and improve digestion. Practice this daily, preferably on an empty stomach, for around 10-15 minutes.

Monitor chronic symptoms closely. If there’s no improvement within a few weeks, or if you experience severe discomfort, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions that may require immediate attention. Addressing the root cause through a balanced approach will ultimately improve digestion and overall well-being.

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. 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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

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.

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

Dr. 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.
