Start with Syrup M2TONE 2tsp. Twice daily, after food with water will help balance hormones and regularise her periods. Brahmi vati 1-0-1 after food with Ashwagandha Churan 0-0-1tsp at bedtime with milk All other ayurvedic medicine taking can be continued as before.

hello arthy , dont worry first we are here , your daughter had one big seizure in April last year, and since then she has been on Ayurvedic medicines only. Now she is getting small jerks once in a while and sometimes blurring of vision. She has also not had periods for the past 4 months. What this tells us is that the brain is still a little sensitive and showing signals in the form of jerks and blurred vision. At the same time, her hormones are not fully balanced, which is why her cycles have stopped. Stress has also played a role here. This is not something to panic about, but we should not ignore it either.

Investigations we should do : A repeat EEG (this is the brain-wave test she did earlier, but this time it helps us see if the jerks and blurring are part of seizure activity). Basic blood tests like blood count, thyroid check, Vitamin D and B12 to see if weakness or deficiency is adding to the problem. Hormone tests (FSH, LH, Prolactin, AMH) and pelvic scan to understand why periods have stopped. An eye check-up just to be sure blurred vision is not from eyesight issues.

These tests will give us a clear picture and guide us in making the treatment stronger and more targeted.

Prescription (for your daughter, 15 yrs)

1. Ama Pachana / Deepana (first 5–7 days): Hingvastaka Churna – 1 pinch with warm water before food, twice daily. (To keep digestion clear and remove ama which can worsen nervous system imbalance.)

2. Internal Medications (to be continued for 2–3 months, then reviewed): Saraswatarishta – 10 ml with equal water, after food, twice daily. Mahakalyanaka Ghrita – 5 ml with warm milk, morning empty stomach. Chaturmukha Rasa – 1 tablet once daily after breakfast with honey (short-term, max 1 month). Navayasa Lauha – 125 mg (¼ tsp) with honey, once daily after lunch. Kumaryasava – 10 ml with equal water, after dinner (to regulate periods).

3. External Therapy: Anu Tailam – 2 drops in each nostril, morning before bath, daily. Shiro Abhyanga – gentle head oil massage with Brahmi Taila or Kshirabala Taila twice a week.

I know you are worried, but please be reassured many children with one seizure and these types of signals can do well if handled properly. Ayurveda can be continued safely, but monitoring with modern tests is important so that we don’t miss anything. The absence of seizures for more than a year is a very good sign. Her periods and hormones can also be corrected with proper treatment, so this is not permanent.

She can live a normal, healthy life but we should keep a balance of medicines, lifestyle, and regular check-ups.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Respected Dr, Yes her neurologist also confirmed that these jerk and eye blurriness are associated with seizure activity. Her Vit D level is 5.1 unit only other values are normal only. Last month in her class a girl suffered from seizure in front of my daughter which made her panic. After that only she had jerks. Which was controlled by Manasamithra vatakam. we checked with ophthalmologist for her eye they said that there is no problem in her eyes and asked us to check with neurologist to get opinion. She is having irregular periods for almost 3 years, she got her periods after taking ayurveda medicine, she had fever during her periods. Thank you so much for your time

yeah i understand , The neurologist’s opinion that the jerks and blurring are seizure-related is important, and the fact that your daughter has not had a major seizure since last April is a very positive sign. Her Vitamin D level of 5.1 is very low, and that alone can cause fatigue, poor nerve strength, anxiety, and even worsen seizure sensitivity. So, correcting Vitamin D is absolutely essential along with Ayurvedic support. The panic after seeing her classmate’s seizure also explains why her jerks increased stress is a big trigger for nervous system imbalance. Since her eyes are healthy (as the ophthalmologist confirmed), the blurring is indeed from nervous system fluctuations. Regarding her periods, it seems she has had a long-standing hormonal imbalance (irregular cycles for 3 years), and Ayurveda has helped once before.

The fever during her periods shows Pitta aggravation at that time, which can be managed with medicines and diet.

My suggestions would be :

Please start Vitamin D supplementation immediately (modern medicine capsule/sachet as prescribed by her physician) — this will strengthen bones, nerves, and overall recovery. Continue Manasamithra Vatakam as it is helping with sudden jerks and anxiety.

Saraswatarishta + Mahakalyanaka Ghrita should be continued, as they support brain stability and memory.

For periods, Kumaryasava should be taken regularly, but we may need to combine with Rajah Pravartini Vati (1 tablet once daily after dinner, short-term) to help regulate cycles.

Anu Taila and head massage should be continued, they are very effective for calming.

With regular medicines, good nutrition, Vitamin D correction, and stress management, she can remain seizure-free and her hormones will gradually come into balance. Please don’t worry these signs do not mean things are worsening, but only that her system is sensitive and needs steady care.

Allopathy medicine was not taken from the beginning. As Ayurveda Doctor said that she had one seizure there is no need for allopathy medicine. She will be cured by Ayurveda medicine.

you have mentioned her EEG WAS abnormal, even though her mei was normal but recent development of blurring of vision and jerk are indicating that her condition is not in control…. If you want to continue ayurvedic it’s not an issue but I strongly suggest consulting NEUROLOGIST once

HELLO ARTHY,

Your daughter had a generalised seizure. Her EEG was annormal- this means the brains electrical rhythm still shows a risk of future seizures. The MRI was normal, so there’s no structural damage or tumor. The extra symptoms (eye blurring, sudden jerks, irregular periods, no cycles for months) tell us two things -the brain is still showing small seizure-like activity -hormonal imbalance is happening, likely tied to stress and cycle disruption.

From an Ayurvedic view -This resembles a vata dosha disturbance sudden jerks, seizures, irregular cycles, dryness -Pitta may also play a role (stress, eye strain, heat imbalance) -Ojas (vital energy) is weakened, making her more sensitive to triggers

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce seizure tendency and stabilize brain function -regularise sleep, stress levels, and hormonal cycle -improve digestion and absorption , since many formulations act better with strong digestion -prevent long term complication and give her a safety net

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

-MEDHYA RASAYANA= nervine tonic -Saraswatarishta, brahmi ghrita, mahakalyanaka ghrita. These calms the nervos system, improve memory, and reduce seizure risk

-VATA PACIFYING HERBS= Ashwagandha, jatamansi, shankhapushpi. These reduce jerks and stress

-RASAOUSHADHIS (mineral formulations e.g- Chaturmukha rasa) are powerful and need close monitoring- helpful for seizure control, but only under supervision

-HORMONAL SUPPORT= Shatavari, Ashoka preparations may help bring back cycles gradually

DURATION= usually 3-6 months at least

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) NASYA= Anu taila drops in nostril 2 drops in morning =nourishes nervous system through nasal route

2) OIL MASSAGE= with Mahanarayan taila =reduces vata, improves circulation

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Sleep= fixed sleep and wake times, no late nights, minimum 8 hours -Stress= reduce screen time, create calm routines -Exercise= gentle yoga, walking, not over exertion -Avoid triggers= fasting, skipping meals, dehydration, too much mobile/computer

YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana -balasana -sukhasana -shavasana

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana -Bhramari -Deep abdominal breathing

Avoid forceful pranayam like kapalbhati

DIET -Favour= warm, cooked food, milk with turmeric, ghee in moderation, green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits, nuts (soaked almonds, walnuts)

-Avoid= junk food, packaged snacks, excessive spicy food, caffeine, carbonated drinks

-Regular meal timings to keep vata steady

HOME REMEDIES -warm cow’s milk with a pinch of turmeric at night -Brahmi powder with ghee if advised -Soaked almonds (4-5) in the morning -triphala at night for digestion and detox

Ayurveda can support the nervous system and balance hormones, bur seizure disorders can be unpredictable. The safest path is integrated care : Continue Ayurvedic treatment but also keep a neurologist in the loop. That way, you have both the natural support and the urgency safety net if seizures return

And most important- Keep a seizure dairy- note sleep, stress, food, cycle and jerky / eye blurring. patterns often show up there before tests do

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Addressing seizure activity and related symptoms requires a comprehensive understanding of her current imbalances. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it sounds like there’s a significant Vata imbalance, possibly impacting her neuro-muscular and reproductive systems. Irregular periods and stress could exacerbate this condition.

First, continue with Anu Thailam nasal drops, which help in pacifying Vata dosha and nourish the brain. Her current dose sounds appropriate, but ensure consistent use, applying as directed, generally in the morning. Sarawatharishtam and Mahakalayana Gritham together support nerve health and mental stability. Administer Mahakalayana Gritham in the morning on an empty stomach with warm water to aid in absorption.

Blurriness and jerks might be linked to her imbalanced Vata. Try incorporating warm sesame oil massage, once or twice a week, to provide grounding. Use gentle strokes along the body, focusing on the head and neck. Follow with a warm shower to remove residue. Sesame oil helps in calming the nervous system, which might reduce seizures.

For her menstrual irregularities, look into specific remedies like Ashokarishtam or Shatavari churna which balance hormones and strengthen reproductive health. It’s best to administer after meals for better digestion and effect.

Ensure her diet is Vata-pacifying, including warm, cooked meals. Add nourishing foods like ghee, almond, and dates. Yogic breathing exercises (pranayama) can be beneficial too; consider Anulom Vilom for about 10 minutes twice daily, helping reduce stress levels.

Encourage regular sleep patterns to avoid sleep deprivation, leading to fewer triggers. Ayurvedic teas like chamomile, consumed before bed, might aid relaxation.

Lastly, while Ayurveda is crucial here, if symptoms worsen, seek a consult with a neurologist promptly. It’s essential not to ignore any progression in symptoms.

When managing a condition like seizures, especially given your daughter’s symptoms and irregular periods, its crucial to consider underlying imbalances from an Ayurvedic perspective. Her symptoms suggest potential disruptions in vata dosha, influenced by stress and lifestyle changes including her dental braces. Given the existing regimen of Anu thailam, Sarawatharishtam, Mahakalayana ghritham, chaturmukha rasa, and navayasa, let’s refine and bolster your approach.

First, continue Anu thailam nasal drops as they can help stabilize vata in the head. Emphasize consistency with this remedy, applying it daily, preferably in the morning. For Sarawatharishtam, known for its nervine properties, twice daily after meals is beneficial; it supports mental clarity and eases stress.

Mahakalyana Gritham, taken on an empty stomach in the morning, aids in nourishing the brain and calming vata. Adjust the dosage if needed for your daughter’s comfort. While important, monitor for any digestive discomfort since ghee-based formulations can sometimes be heavy.

To support her menstrual cycle, focus on dietary adjustments alongside Navayasa (used traditionally for anemia which might also connect to her irregular periods). Aim to incorporate cooked, warming foods that balance vata, like root vegetables and well-cooked grains, to reinforce agni and maintain dhatus.

Encourage a regular daily routine for sleeping and waking times to stabilize both vata and her menstrual cycle. Discourage screens or stimulating activities before bed; she might benefit from Abhyanga - self-oil massage with warmed sesame oil, which soothes vata.

Continue observing the eye blurriness and single jerks, as they could herald seizure activity—monitoring with healthcare providers is critical. Regular practice of pranayama or gentle yoga can be helpful to relieve stress, too.

Lastly, while Ayurveda can greatly assist, ensure she’s closely monitored by a healthcare professional. Seizure disorders warrant comprehensive care and any new or worsening symptoms should prompt immediate consultation. Safety and open coordination with conventional practitioners will secure her wellness effectively.

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. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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

Dr. 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. 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. 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.

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