2 year old with cough cold since a month - #31416

Sambhav

My 2 year old toddler has been suffering from cough and cold for a month now. We gave him allopathic and even ayurvedic drops ( Zeal Kid and Talisapatradi vatalam for two weeks straight) but to no respite. He looks like he is getting better and then it becomes more worse again. Since yesterday voice has become hoarse for the first time.

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.

Hello Sambhav,

For toddlers, frequent cough and cold are common due to immature immunity and sensitive airways. Since your child has been suffering for over a month with hoarseness now, it needs careful attention.but dont worry we are here to help ypu out😊

✅ What You Can Do at Home (Safe Remedies)

For Toddlers it is always better to rely on natural home remedies rather than mediactions

👉Warm Ajwain & Garlic Potli Fomentation – Dry roast a little ajwain + 1 garlic pod, tie in cotton cloth, gently rub on chest and back (not too hot). Helps loosen congestion.

👉Tulsi + Honey (for above 1 yr age) – 2–3 drops of tulsi juice mixed with honey, once daily, improves immunity & cough.

👉Sonth (dry ginger) water – boil a pinch in water, give lukewarm sips to reduce phlegm.

Keep chest & feet warm – avoid cold foods, exposure to AC/fan directly.

Light, easily digestible diet – moong dal khichdi, warm soups; avoid curd, banana, fried foods.

✅AYURVEDIC MEDICATION

1 Sitopaladi Churna ½ tsp with honey twice daily (very mild, safe for kids in small doses with honey)

2 Kantakari Avaleha ¼ tsp follwed by warm water – strengthens lungs & reduces recurrent cough.

Important Warning Signs (see nearby pediatrician immediately if any appear)– Noisy breathing or difficulty in breathing High fever Child refusing feeds or becoming drowsy Worsening hoarseness or persistent barking cough (could indicate laryngitis)

👉 For now: warm fomentation, tulsi-honey, ginger water, light diet, and avoid cold foods. 👉 Consult a pediatrician if hoarseness worsens (to rule out throat infection )

Wish your toddler a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

​I understand your concern about your toddler’s persistent cough and cold, especially with the new symptom of a hoarse voice. While

​ ​Ayurvedic Understanding of Cough, Cold, and Hoarse Voice

​Dosha Imbalance: In Ayurveda, a persistent cough and cold, especially with a hoarse voice, are often linked to an imbalance of the Vata and Kapha doshas.
​Kapha: This dosha governs mucus and can lead to congestion in the chest and nasal passages, which can be a primary cause of cough.
​Vata: This dosha governs movement and can get aggravated, causing dryness and irritation in the throat and lungs. This can lead to a dry, irritating cough and a hoarse voice. The hoarse voice (Swarabheda) is specifically associated with Vata imbalance.
​The Vicious Cycle: The recurring pattern you describe, where your toddler seems to get better and then worsens again, could be due to a deep-seated imbalance that is not being fully addressed. The body’s immune system (Ojas) may be weakened, making it susceptible to recurrent infections.

​Ayurvedic Opinion on the Remedies You’ve Used ​Talisapatradi Vatalam (Talisapatradi Churna): This is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation for respiratory and digestive issues. It is often used for cough, cold, and a hoarse voice as it is believed to help balance Kapha and Vata doshas. It is generally considered safe for children, but the dosage and duration should always be guided by a practitioner.
​Zeal Kid Drops: This is a proprietary Ayurvedic product. Its ingredients, such as Tulsi, Vasaka, and Yashtimadhu, are known for their benefits in treating cough and cold, easing congestion, and soothing the throat.
​The fact that these remedies have not provided lasting relief for your toddler suggests that a deeper look into the underlying cause is needed.

​ ​Dietary Adjustments: ​Warm, Easily Digestible Food: Offer warm, freshly prepared food and avoid cold, heavy, or processed foods, which can increase Kapha and mucus production.
​Hydration: Ensure your child drinks plenty of warm water throughout the day. ​Avoid: Dairy products (milk, curd, cheese) and sugary or fried foods, as they can contribute to mucus.

​ ​Lifestyle: ​Rest: Ensure your toddler gets adequate rest, which is crucial for the body to heal and regain strength.
​Warmth: Keep your child warm and protect them from cold or dry weather.
​Gentle Massage (Abhyanga): A gentle massage with warm sesame or mustard oil on the chest and back can help with congestion.

Treatment

1) sitopaladi churna-2gm+ guduchi satva- 250 mg+ yashtimadhu churna-1gm+ abhraka bhasma-30 mg - after food 3 times with honey and adrak rasa

2) bala chaturbhadra -2 ml - 2 times after food ​

HELLO SAMBHAV,

Your 2 year old has had repeated cough and cold for about a month. In children this age, immunity is still developing, so they are naturally prone to frequent colds. But when it keeps coming back or lingers, it means something is making his body unable to fully clear the problem. -The horse voice suggests the throat and voice box are now irritated or swollen -In Ayurveda, this is usually seen as an imbalance of Kapha dosha (excess mucus, heaviness, congestion), often mixed with vata dosha (dryness, irregularity, changeability- which shows up as cough getting better and then worse again). -If untreated this can keep cycling : mucus builds up -> partial recovery-> another trigger (like weather change or food) makes it worse again.

TREATMENT GOALS Ayurveda doesn’t just chase away symptoms. It works on layers -relieve current cough, cold, and hoarseness -remove the root causes (kapha triggers, weak digestion, environmental irritants) -strengthen immunity and throat health so the cycle doesn’t repeat

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SHITOPALADI CHURNA = Tiny pinch 250mg mixed with honey twice daily =lightens kapha, eases cough, supports breathing

2) YASHTIMADHU SYRUP= 2 ml diluted in water at night =soothes horseless, reduces throat inflammation

3) KANTAKARI SYRUP= 3 ml with warm water twice daily =good for chronic cough ,supports lung strength

EXTERNALLY

1) OIL MASSAGE= warm mustard oil massage to chest, back, and soles of feet followed by a warn bath =improves circulation, balances vata, helps breathing

2) STEAM THERAPY = not direct steam but sitting in a steamy bathroom for 5-7 minutes helps loosenmucus

LIFESTYLE ADJUSTMENTS -Avoid sudden temperature shifts -ensure child doesn’t sleep directly under a fan or in draft areas -adequate rest and warm clothing, especially protecting chest and throat

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS -Avoid kapha aggravating foods= cold milk , yogurt, bananas, ice creams, bakery products, fried junk -Favour warm, light, digestible foods= vegetables soups, khichdi with a little ginger, warm water sips -Spices In tiny toddler= safe amounts= turmeric, cumin, ajwain (helps clear mucus) -Honey (after age 1)= half teaspoon mixed with warm water or ginger juice is soothing (but dont heat honey)

HOME REMEDIES -Ajwain potali= roast ajwain in a cloth bundle, let it cool to warm, and place near chest (not directly on skin) for relief -Turmeric milk -Tulsi decoction mixed with honey

Your child’s condition is a mix of natural toddler susceptibility and possible underlying aggravators. Ayurveda looks at this not just as “cough” but as a cycle of kapha imbalance, weak digestion/immunity, and environmental triggers

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELFPUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Dr. Vishnu S
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 4 and half years in clinical work, mostly in Kayachikitsa – which is like the general medicine side of Ayurveda, but with a lot of depth when you actually start applying it. My main focus is on lifestyle disorders that keep showing up in this generation – things like metabolic imbalance, stress-related problems, mental health dips, digestive & gut issues, and skin conditions that just don’t clear fully with temporary fixes. I completed my B.A.M.S from Alva’s Ayurveda Medical College, Moodbidri, and then my M.D in Kayachikitsa from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research, Bengaluru, under RGUHS. Along the way, I also picked up certifications in Panchakarma and in Diet & Diabetes programs – cause I’ve seen how much diet and detox work hand in hand with medicine in real life cases. In my practice, I try to keep things personal. Yes, there are protocols in Ayurveda, but no two patients come with the exact same background, prakriti or daily stress pattern. Some need more cleansing, some need building, others just need small steady corrections. I follow proper Ayurvedic medical guidelines but also make sure the plan feels doable for the person – no point in writing something perfect on paper if it never fits their actual life. I’m really passionate about making effective, personalised healthcare accessible, not just for those already deep into Ayurveda but for anyone who’s open to real healing beyond symptom control. To me, holistic healing means we’re looking at the long term – preventing relapse, keeping the system strong, and making sure the mind and body aren’t working against each other. Whether it’s someone walking in with years of acidity, stubborn skin flare-ups, chronic fatigue, or stress that spills into their sleep, my aim is to guide them in a way that’s practical yet fully rooted in Ayurveda’s wisdom. Sometimes the changes are quick, other times slow – but when it works, it really lasts.

When a toddler persistently battles cough and cold, especially with the fluctuation of symptoms, it can be quite concerning. In Ayurveda, lingering respiratory issues often relate to an imbalance in Kapha dosha, which leads to excess mucus production, or a weakened Agni, the body’s digestive and metabolic ability. Given the persistent nature and now hoarseness, it’s crucial to approach this with balanced methods while also considering further medical evaluation if symptoms worsen.

Firstly, consider his diet and ensure it’s not conducive to increasing Kapha. Foods that are heavy, cold, or excessively oily should be avoided. Give him warm, easily digestible foods like kichadi with a little ghee, which can help improve Agni. Avoid dairy products temporarily since they can thicken mucus.

Additionally, a warm Tulsi (Holy Basil) tea can be quite beneficial. Steep a few leaves in hot water, allowing it to cool to a lukewarm temperature, suitable for toddlers, and let him sip it throughout the day. Another age-old remedy involves placing a small amount of Vasa syrup, made form the Adhatoda vasica plant, that is known for its expectorant properties and can help in easing cough.

For external application, applying a little warm sesame oil mixed with a pinch of camphor to the child’s chest and back can provide comfort. Please, make sure it’s warmed just enough not to harm his sensitive skin.

Ensure that the environment remains warm and free from drafts. Humidifiers can help especially during sleep to maintain moisture in the air, preventing further irritation. Inhaling steam infused with a few drops of eucalyptus oil, from a safe distance, may also relieve congestion.

Since the hoarse voice could indicate laryngeal irritation or infection, please consult with a pediatrician if it persists or his condition deteriorates further. It is important not to delay medical review should he develop a fever,difficulty breathing or signs of distress.

A persistent cough and cold in a toddler, especially with the voice becoming hoarse, suggests that it might not just be a simple case of a viral infection. It could indicate an underlying imbalance in the respiratory and digestive systems, often seen when Kapha dosha is aggravated. It’s essential to address the root cause effectively.

First and foremost, ensure that your toddler is assessed by a pediatrician to rule out any serious underlying condition, especially as it’s lingering for a month. This is important to ensure there’s no risk to his respiratory health.

If cleared, from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, consider the following:

1. Focus on the toddler’s diet. Avoid dairy products which can increase Kapha, like milk and yogurt, for the time being. Introduce warm, light meals that are easy to digest and avoid cold foods or drinks. Use plenty of fresh ginger in cooking as it helps to pacify Kapha and enhance agni (digestive fire).

2. Use Tulsi (Holy Basil) tea. Boil a few fresh Tulsi leaves in water and let your toddler drink it lukewarm, once or twice a day. Tulsi is known for its expectorant properties and helps in relieving cough.

3. Turmeric can be quite beneficial due to its anti-inflammatory properties. You can mix a small pinch with warm water or warm milk, and give it to your toddler before bedtime. Ensure no honey is introduced.

4. Nasya treatment involves gently applying a drop or two of warm sesame oil in the nostrils which might help in clearing nasal congestion. Make sure the oil is lightly warmed and test it on your skin before application.

5. Keep him hydrated with warm fluids, and ensure his rest environment is free of allergens or irritants, which could exacerbate symptoms.

Monitor the symptoms closely, and if his hoarseness or general condition does not improve or worsens, get further medical evaluation. Make sure all suggestions are done with caution, and always prioritize safety and pediatric advice.

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.

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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.
