Dr. Arshad Mohammad
I am working in the ayurvedic field since like 3 years now and honestly still feel like there's always more to learn, even after handling so many different kind of cases in both OPD and IPD settings. That mix of outdoor and indoor care changed the way I understand patients—like, not just quick consults but full-on long term treatments where u really gotta observe body patterns, reactions, progress... or even no progress, which is tricky. Sometimes even when the textbook says one thing, patients show something else entirely n you gotta adapt. I deal with a mix of things—digestive issues, skin problems, mild joint pain stuff, lifestyle triggers—and each case kinda adds a new layer to my approach. Working closely with both acute and chronic patients taught me how much small details matter, like even diet timing or mental state can flip how someone respond to a herb. It’s not about formulas—u gotta watch, tweak, rewatch. I do spend time explaining what the treatment plan actually means. Like not just “take this churnam 2 times daily” but *why* it fits their prakruti or condition. That makes ppl stick to it better, I feel. Also yeah, I’ve worked in setups where it was just me managing the flow—making clinical calls, followups, keeping records, sometimes even basic panchakarma guidance when support was limited. That kinda multitasking helped build real confidence, not the paper type but actual “you’re responsible here” type. And it shows me that patient trust comes not from using big words but from clear answers n slow steady improvements they can *feel.* Not everything works fast. But if u observe closely, listen well, and don’t rush—ayurveda does work.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

HELLO DESAI,

Thank you for sharing this openly. I understand this must feel very difficult for you. First, please know: having extra hair growth (called hirsutism) in girls can sometimes be normal, but if it is thick, dark and in many unusual areas, it may be related to hormonal imbalance like PCOS, thyroid, or other conditions. since you are 16 years old, it’s very important to consult gynaecologist or endocrinologist to rule out proper cause

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT FOR EXCESS HAIR GROWTH

1) DIET -take light, easily digestible foods -mung dal, vegetables, fruits -avoid excess sweets, dairy, fried, oily and fast food, as these can aggravate kapha and meda , worsening hair growth -include turmeric , fenugreek, cumin, cinnamon in daily diet- they balance hormones

2) LIFESTYLE -Maintain regular sleep -sleep early, wake early -do daily exercise / yoga - suryanamaskar, kapalbhati, bhramari pranayam. helps regulate hormones -manage stress with meditation/pranayam- stress worsen imbalance

3) INTERNAL SUPPORT

1) SHATAVRI + ASHOKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily =supports female hormones

2) TRIPHALA = 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =improves metabolism and detox

3) TURMERIC + WARM MILK= helps reduce unwanted hair growth slowly

4) SPEARMINT TEA= at night =known to reduce androgens naturally

EXTERNAL REMEDIES

-TURMERIC + BESAN +MILK PASTE= apply on face and body, let it dry then rub gently against hair growth direction

-SANDALWOOD + ROSE WATER PASTE= helps skin glow and reduce hair thickness gradually

Ayurveda works slowly and steadily- it may reduce thickness and growth over time

THANK YOU

Hello Desai, I can understand your concern. Having hair on the face and body in excess can feel distressing, especially at your age. In teenage girls, it may also be an early sign of conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), which is common and can be managed naturally. So dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅HERBAL MEDICATION

1 Shatavari Kalp 1 tsp at morning with warm milk – balances female hormones, cools Pitta, supports healthy cycles.

2 Ashokarishta 15ml-0-15ml after food – regulates periods, balances uterine function.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅INCLUDE- Fresh fruits, vegetables, moong dal, whole grains, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, soaked almonds, and home-cooked meals.

❌Avoid Junk foods, fried/oily items, excess sweets, cold drinks, and packaged foods (they worsen Kapha & hormone imbalance).

Take Haldi milk at night for balancing hormones and improving skin health.

✅EXTERNAL CARE (Face & Body Hair Reduction)

1 Turmeric & Besan (Gram flour) paste – Apply regularly on face/body; slows hair growth over time.

2 Kesar (Saffron) in milk – Apply on face; lightens hair and nourishes skin.

3 Kumkumadi oil gentle massage – improves skin tone and reduces coarseness of hair.

❌Avoid frequent chemical bleaching or shaving, as it can make hair appear thicker.

✅LIFESTYLE AND DAILY ROUTINE

Yoga & Exercise – Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar), Kapalabhati, Bhramari Pranayama – improve hormonal balance.

Maintain regular sleep (10 pm to 6 am) and avoid late nights.

Practice stress-relief activities like meditation, as stress worsens hormonal imbalance.

Since you are only 16 years old, your body is still developing. Sometimes, excess hair growth can normalize as hormones settle.

But if you also notice irregular periods, acne, weight gain, or hair thinning on the scalp, it may be related to PCOS or hormonal imbalance, which can be corrected through Ayurveda.

With consistent Ayurvedic care, Skin quality will improve, and your confidence will grow as your hormones come into balance.

It is important to be patient – results usually take 3–6 months of steady treatment.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm. Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO DESAI SHRUSHTI,

In Ayurveda, excess facial or body hair in women (especialll coarse or dark hair) can be due to hormonal imbalance, often connected with aggravated pitta and vata doshas, or conditions like PCOS. hair growth is influenced by the Rakta(blood) and Meda(fat) dhatus. Treatment focuses on balancing hormones , detoxification, and natural hair-thinning remedies.

FACIAL HAIR REMEDIES

1) TURMERIC AND CHICKPEA FLOUR UBTA(weekly thrice) -2tbsp besan -1/2 tsp turmeric -1 tsp sandalwood powder -rose water or raw milk (to make paste)

HOW TO USE -Apply a thin layer on face -let it semi-dry, then scrub gently in circular motion (opposite direction of hair) -wash off with lukewarm water =helps weaken hair roots and reduce regrowth over time

2) THANAKA POWDER OR KUSUMA OIL This is proven traditional treatment -mix 1 tsp Thanaka powder with a few drops of Kusuma oil -apply on the face daily at night -leave overnight and wash in morning =after 8-12 weeks , you will report significant reduction in hair thickness

3) SUGAR, LEMON AND HONEY SCRUB (twice weekly) -Natural bleaching + exfoliation -1 tbsp sugar -1 tbsp lemon juice - 1 tsp honey =rub gently on face for 10 minutes before washing

DAILY ROUTINE FOR HORMONAL BALANCE -wake up by 6-7 am -drink warm water with 1/2 tsp turmeric + lemon -practice 20 mins pranayama (especially Anulom-vilom and Bhramari) -take triphala powder at night for detox -diet= avoid fried, spicy or processed food -include flax seeds, amla and green vegetables -eat 1 tsp shatavari powder with warm milk for balancing hormone in morning -evening= oil massage with nalpamradi taila -avoid stress and screen time before bed

YOGA FOR HORMONAL AND HAIR HEALTH Practice 15-20 minutes daily -sarvangasana -bhujangasana -setu bandhasana -surya namaskar

BODY HAIR NATURAL MANAGEMENT

1) UBTAN FOR BODY HAUR (2-3 times/week) -2 tbsp green gram flour -1 tbsp turmeric -1 tbsp milk cream -mix into a paste and rub on the body before bath

2) DRY BRUSHING -using a soft bristle body brush daily before shower helps in stimulating lymphatic drainage and can assist in hair reduction

TIMELINE TO SEE RESULT Natural remedies take consistent use for latest 6-12 weeks to show visible effects. Some may notice reduction in hair thickness and slow regrowth.

AND KINDLY GO FOR -ultrasound abdomen and pelvis= to see for PCOD -hormonal test -Thyroid profile For proper diagnosis and treatment purpose before knowing the condition I cannot prescribe you internal medications and avoid taking any medications before proper diagnosing the condition

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

No need to worry,

Start taking these medications, 1.Ashokarishta 20ml with equal amount of Lukewarm water just after having meal twice in a day. 2.shatavari tab.2-0-2 with lukewarm milk.

*A traditional paste made with turmeric powder and gram flour can be applied to the affected areas. When it dries, scrubbing it off can help exfoliate the skin and reduce hair growth over time.

*Apply few drops of LOMSHATANAADI OIL.

It will be taking time but you’ll definitely get rid from your unwanted hair.

Take care😊

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.

This is a very common concern and I understand why you feel this way. It can be distressing to feel that your body is different from what you see as “normal.” . ​Understanding Your Concern ​The condition you’re describing, which involves excessive hair growth on the face and body, especially in areas where it’s not typical for a female, is known as hirsutism. It’s important to know that this is a medical condition, not just a cosmetic issue.

​While there can be various causes, some of the common ones include: ​Genetics: This is a big factor. If excessive hair growth runs in your family, you may be more likely to have it.
​Hormonal Imbalances: This is the most common cause of hirsutism in women. Conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can cause an overproduction of androgens (male hormones), leading to hair growth, acne, and irregular periods.
​Adrenal Gland Disorders: Issues with the adrenal glands can also lead to an excess of male hormones.

​Certain Medications: Some medications can have hirsutism as a side effect.

​The Ayurvedic Perspective ​In Ayurveda, health is seen as a balance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. A condition like hirsutism would be viewed as an imbalance, often related to an excess of Vata and Pitta or an imbalance in Dhatu Agni (the digestive fire of the tissues).

​would likely focus on: ​Balancing Hormones: This is a key focus. They might suggest herbs and dietary changes to help regulate your body’s hormonal balance. ​Improving Metabolism: A sluggish metabolism can contribute to hormonal imbalances. ​Detoxification (Panchakarma): Gentle cleansing therapies might be recommended to remove toxins that are contributing to the imbalance.

​Common Ayurvedic Recommendations

​1) Shatavari churna -1 tsf after food 2 times a day Known as a female reproductive tonic, it’s often used to balance hormones.

2) ​Ashwagandha churna -1tsf after food 3 times While often associated with male health, it’s a powerful adaptogen that can help with hormonal balance and stress.
​3) Giloy ghan vati 1 tab before food 3 times : A potent herb for detoxification and improving overall health. ​

​Diet: ​Avoid: Processed foods, excessive sugar, deep-fried items, and foods that are heavy or difficult to digest. ​Include: Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. ​Lifestyle: ​Yoga and Meditation: These practices can help reduce stress, which in turn can positively impact hormonal balance.
​Regular Exercise: Helps with metabolism and circulation. ​

​Remember, you are not alone in this, and many people, both male and female, deal with similar issues. Please don’t let this affect your self-esteem. Your worth is not defined by how much hair you have. Take these steps to understand your body better and find a path to feeling more comfortable in your own skin.

Understanding how to manage excessive hair growth from an Ayurvedic perspective involves delving into your constitution and potential imbalances, particularly concerning the Pitta and Vata doshas. In Ayurveda, excessive hair growth can suggest a dominance or imbalance in androgens (hormones) that may be influenced by these doshas.

Begin by adopting dietary practices to balance Vata and Pitta. Include sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes in your meals - these can help pacify both doshas. Think of incorporating foods like cool dairy products (milk and ghee), sweet fruits (like pears and mangoes), and well-cooked grains (such as rice and oats) into your diet. Avoid overly spicy, salty, or sour foods which can aggravate Pitta.

For your skin and body, daily application of exfoliating and cooling herbal pastes might be beneficial. A paste made of besan (gram flour), turmeric, and milk can be used for gentle exfoliation. Apply it, let it dry slightly, and then rub it gently in a circular motion before washing off. This practice, done regularly, can help in gradually thinning hair over time.

Internal cleansing through herbs may also help balance hormones. Ashwagandha and Shatavari are traditionally used to support hormonal balance — it’s crucial to consult with a local Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the appropriate dosage and usage, particularly at your age.

Engaging in a routine of yoga and pranayama could be beneficial too. Yoga postures like Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), along with deep breathing techniques, help calm the body and regulate hormones.

Ultimately, if the hair growth is significantly affecting your quality of life or leading to emotional distress, consider consulting a healthcare professional specialized in hormonal health. They can provide a thorough evaluation to identify any underlying conditions that might be contributing to the issue.

Considering your concern about excess hair on the body and face, let’s explore this through a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective. In Ayurveda, excessive hair growth can sometimes be linked to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly an increase in the pitta dosha, which governs metabolism and bodily transformations. When pitta is aggravated, it may affect the way hair grows on the body.

To manage this, first focus on balancing your pitta dosha. Incorporate cooling and calming foods into your diet—think of fresh vegetables, fruits, natural sweeteners, and plenty of hydration. Avoid spicy, oily, and overly acidic foods. Herbal teas such as mint, licorice, or chamomile can also be pitta-soothing.

Next, consider the use of specific herbs known for their effects on hair growth and balance. Applying a paste made of turmeric and gram flour mixed with milk or water can be used as a natural exfoliant to areas where hair growth is excessive. This may help in gradually reducing hair thickness over time, due to turmeric’s influence on hair follicles.

An internal herbal remedy would be taking “Triphala”, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation, which can help detoxify the body, supporting better dosha balance and may have benefits on hormonal processes that influence hair growth. Consuming a teaspoon at night with warm water can be helpful in maintaining your body’s balance.

Pranayama, such as cooling breath (Sheetali and Sitkari), alongside yoga practices like Chandra Namaskar (moon salutation), can promote coolness in the body, which assists in rebalancing pitta-related issues.

However, given your age and the extent of your condition, it would be wise to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice. Excessive hair growth may sometimes be linked to underlying hormonal conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which would require more comprehensive assessment and treatment in conjunction with your current regimen. Do consider reaching out to a healthcare provider who can offer more specialized interventions when necessary.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

I am 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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. 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?
