Dr. Shayma Kabeer
I am Dr. Shayma Kabeer — mostly working with Ayurveda, women’s health, nutrition n postpartum care. I don’t really seperate these things out tbh, cause in real life they always overlap. Like, you can't treat hormonal issues without looking at digestion, or talk skin without figuring out the stress-eating that’s happening quietly on the side. That’s kinda how I approach care—connect the dots before jumping to herbs or meds. My focus is usually gynecology-related probs... PCOS, irregular periods, thyroid imbalances, all the hormonal chaos that shows up when diet, sleep, and mental load go sideways. I see a lot of young women stuck in cycles of fatigue, weight fluctuation, emotional dips—Ayurveda actually gives a slower but deeper toolkit to work with that. I do a lot of assessment through dosha lens, nadi, agni state, even simple daily habits. Infertility is another space I work in—again, not in a rush-to-conceive mode always, but more like preparing the system... checking if the cycle is syncing, digestion’s on track, sleep is stable. It’s the inner rhythm that matters more than just hormone reports. Same with postnatal care—I support new mothers with wound healing, lactation, nutrition, n mood swings, cause honestly, recovery doesn’t just mean uterus shrinking back. It’s about rebuilding vitality gently. I also specialize in Ayurvedic nutrition—like building food plans for gynec issues, postnatal nourishment, or weight stuff that’s tied with metabolic funk. It’s not about rigid diet charts.. I prefer daily doable changes, seasonal tweaks, emotional food awareness. I often include skin/hair health too, cause that's where ppl feel stuck or self conscious first. Ayurveda is flexible when you know how to listen. That’s what I keep learning. Every pt has her own rhythm, n I try to hear it right—even if she doesn’t have the words for it yet.

HELLO APARAJITA,

From what you shared- -white discharge (leucorrhea) -cramps during and even outside periods -body and knee pain -dark circles + hairfall

AYURVEDA OFTEN CONNECTS THIS TO -KAPHA IMBALANCE= excess moisture, heaviness-> white discharge -VATA IMBALANCE= cramps, joint/knee pains, irregular pain even without periods -PITTA + RAKTA ISSUES= period pain, hairfall, dark circles -DHATU KSHAYA (weakness of tissues)= fatigue, dark circles, overall low vitality

So your body is asking for strengthening, balance and purification

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce white discharge -relieves pain and cramps -strengthen reproductive system and digestion -improve energy, hair, skin and immunity -prevent recurrence with routine, yoga, diet

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHOKARISHTA= 15 ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 3 months =regulates menstrual cycle, reduces discharge, balances kapha and pitta

2) LODHRASAVA= 15ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 3 months =strengthens uterine tissues, reduces excessive discharge

3) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily with lukewarm water after meals for 2 months =restores balance, supports urinary and reproductive system, reduces pain

4) DASHMOOLA KASAHYA= 30 ml with warm water twice daily after meals for 2 months =relieves cramps, balances vata, reduces body/knee pain

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =improves digestion, clears toxins, prevents kapha buildup

EXTERNAL CARE

OIL MASSAGE= with warm Mahanarayan taila daily = reduces body pain, nourishes joints followed by warm water bath

HOME REMEDIES

1) FENUGREEK WATER= soak 1 tsp overnight, drink in morning 2) ALOE VERA PULP= 2 tsp fresh, empty stomach 3-4 days a week 3) RICE WATER with cumin = soothes stomach, supports cycle 4) WARM WATER WITH TURMERIC= reduces discharge, acts as natural cleanser 5) CORIANDER SEED WATER= soak overnight, drink in morning= cooling and balances pitta

YOGA ASANAS -baddha konasana= strengthens pelvic muscles -bhujangasana= relieves cramps -setu bandhasana= improves circulation -balasana= reduces stress and cramps

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances body-mind -Bhramari= calms pain and tension -Sheetali if there’s excess heat during cycle

DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -green leafy vegetables, sesame seeds, jaggery -iron and calcium rich food - dates, figs, ragi, almonds -spices like cumin, fennel, ginger, turmeric

AVOID -junk food, bakery products, fried items -excess sweets, cold drinks, curd at night -late nights and overuse of screens fo dark circles

LIFESTYLE -regular sleep 7-8 hrs -daily gentle movement walking, yoga -keep stress low= directly impacts cycle and discharge

INVESTIGATIONS RECOMMENDED -CBC= check for anemia -THYROID PROFILE= since thyroid imbalance can cause hairfall and cycle issues -VITAMIN D and B12= deficiencies common at this age -PELVIC ULTRASOUND (if discharge/pain persists)= to rule out infections, PCOS, or structural issues

Your symptoms show a mix of imbalance and weakness, but they’re not unusual at 18. with proper care, the body can regain balance. Ayurveda’s approach is steady- not overnight relief, but long term correction . Alongside remedies your digestion, sleep, and stress management are key. White discharge and cramps are the signals; by treating digestion, hormones and lifestyle the whole picture improves- energy, hair, skin, and comfort during periods

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Hi Aparajita, I can understand your concern but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅YOUR CONCERN white discharge, painful periods, knee pain, dark circles, and hair fall are all interconnected health concerns.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

☑️ For White Discharge & Menstrual Cramps 1 Ashokarishta – 30ml-0-30ml with equal water after food twice daily – balances hormones and strengthens uterus.

2 Pradarantak Vati – 1-0-1 twice daily after food – helps in reducing discharge and regulating cycles.

3 Lodhra Churna – 1 tsp with lukewarm water daily – tones uterine muscles.

☑️ For Knee Pain, Body Pain & Weakness

1 Dashmoolarishta 30ml-0-30ml after food– relieves body pain and balances Vata.

2 Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame or Bala Ashwagandha oil twice a week – nourishes joints, improves strength.

✔️Ghee in diet – nourishes body tissues and reduces cramps.

☑️For Hair Fall & Dark Circles

1 Triphala powder (1 tsp at night with lukewarm water) – detoxifies, improves digestion, and enhances skin/hair health.

2 Bhringraj Taila – gentle scalp massage twice a week for strong hair.

3 Shatavari powder (1 tsp with milk at night) – balances hormones, reduces hair fall, nourishes skin.

4 for dark circle- do light massage with Kumkumadi taila under the eyes

✅ Diet & Lifestyle Guidance

✅ Prefer warm, light, freshly cooked food – khichdi, dal, green leafy vegetables, milk with a little ghee. ✅ Take iron-rich foods (dates, raisins, jaggery, leafy greens) to reduce dark circles and fatigue. ✅ Stay hydrated with lukewarm water / herbal teas like cumin-fennel-coriander tea. ✅ Avoid excess tea, coffee, junk, very spicy or cold foods. ✅ Maintain proper sleep (7–8 hrs) – late nights worsen both discharge and hair fall. ✅ Practice Anulom-Vilom pranayama and gentle yoga (Baddha Konasana, Setubandhasana) to regulate hormones.

By strengthening digestion, balancing Vata-Pitta, and nourishing your reproductive system, your discharge, cramps, knee pain, and hair fall can all reduce gradually.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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.

Prevention

To help prevent and treat vaginal discharge:

Keep your genital area clean and dry. Avoid soap and rinse with water only. Sitting in a warm, but not hot, bath may help your symptoms.

Avoid douching. Although many women feel cleaner if they douche after menstruation or intercourse, it may actually worsen vaginal discharge because it removes healthy bacteria lining the vagina that protect against infection.

Eat yogurt with live cultures or take Lactobacillus acidophilus tablets when you are on antibiotics to prevent a yeast infection.

Use condoms to avoid catching or spreading sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Avoid using feminine hygiene sprays, fragrances, or powders in the genital area.

Avoid wearing extremely tight-fitting pants or shorts, which may cause irritation.

Wear cotton underwear or cotton-crotch pantyhose. Avoid underwear made of silk or nylon, because these materials are not very absorbant and restrict air flow. This can increase sweating in the genital area, which can cause irritation.

Use pads and not tampons.

Keep your blood sugar levels under good control if you have diabetes.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

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.

Hi, Dr Arshad Here BAMS MD(Andrologist & Immunologist) Madam what u mean by white discharge, the discharge which is white milky, morbid associated with itching is only comes under leukorrhea , The other secretion are normal, due to hormonal changes.

First you have to identify whether it is really abnormal or not without knowing this not take unnecessary medication .

Because you are only 18 you are in puberty stage you not having much experience regarding these types of issues,

I really recommend you to pls talk with any doctor let him counsel yourself, identify cause and proper diagnosis, after that take medicine👍

White discharge, or leucorrhea, can be a natural bodily process, especially around the menstrual cycle, but excessive amounts along with other symptoms might suggest an imbalance. Your described symptoms – including body and knee pain, intense menstrual cramps, dark circles, and hair fall – can indicate an imbalance in your doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata. Let’s address these issues with an Ayurvedic perspective.

Firstly, regarding the white discharge, it’s essential to maintain healthy vaginal flora. Ayurveda suggests including ‘Triphala’ in your daily regimen. You can take one teaspoon of Triphala powder at night with warm water. This helps in balancing the digestive system, which is tied to reproductive health.

For knee and body pain, ‘Ashwagandha’ may be beneficial. Taking one teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder with warm milk before bed can help in strengthening muscles and bones, alleviating body discomfort due to Vata imbalance.

Menstrual cramps can often be linked to the aggravated Vata. Drinking ginger tea with a pinch of cinnamon can also provide relief from menstrual pain. Prepare fresh ginger tea by boiling a few slices of ginger in water, add a pinch of cinnamon before consumption. Drink this twice daily, specifically a week before your period begins.

Dark circles can stem from nutritional deficiencies possibly linked to high Pitta. Aim to include more leafy greens and fruits like Amla, which is rich in vitamin C, in your diet. Regular ‘Pranayama,’ specifically Anulom Vilom, can improve circulation and help ease tension, contributing to less noticeable dark circles.

For hair fall, a combination of dietary adjustments and topical treatments can assist. Oil your hair twice a week with a blend of coconut oil and Bhringraj oil, which are known in Ayurveda to nourish hair roots and promote healthy growth.

It’s crucial to examine your lifestyle too. Attempt to maintain a balanced diet, avoid processed foods, and focus on seasonal and local produce. Regular sleep and stress management through meditation may also play supportive roles. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Dr. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

White discharge can be quite common at your age, but if it’s excessive, it could indicate an imbalance in the body. In Siddha-Ayurveda, such issues often relate to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly when there’s excess kapha and vata. To help address the white discharge, you might consider incorporating more pitta-balancing foods such as ginger and turmeric in your diet. Ginger tea with honey can be particularly beneficial. Try to avoid excessively cold or heavy foods, and steer clear of processed sugars which can aggravate kapha.

Your knee pain and period cramps, as well as hair fall, suggest vata imbalance too. You might find relief with warm sesame oil massages, especially on your knees; this can help alleviate pain and stiffness. Applying a light coat before a warm bath could be soothing. For period cramps, warm compresses can ease discomfort, and consuming soaked fenugreek seeds helps with menstrual pain and digestion.

Regarding your dark circles and overall energy, ensure you’re getting adequate sleep and, if possible, incorporate breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) to balance mental stress and help with energy levels. Also, consuming triphala churna with warm water at bedtime can promote overall digestion and detox.

Since you’re experiencing significant discomfort, it’s essential ensuring there’s no underlying serious health issue, so consult with a healthcare provider to rule out conditions that might need urgent care.

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 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. 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.

I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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. 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. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.
