Hello Bhumi, I can understand your concern about your symptoms of mood swings, brain fog, dullness, depression, forgetfulness, and body inflammation point towards a combination of hormonal imbalance + Vata–Pitta aggravation + Ama (toxins) accumulation in Ayurveda. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC APPROACH

1. Detoxification (Ama Pachana) – clearing toxins to reduce inflammation.

2. Balancing Hormones & Nervous System – with Rasayana (rejuvenating) herbs.

3. Mind-Calming Support – to relieve anxiety, mood swings, and forgetfulness.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

☑️FOR HORMONAL BALANCE

1 Shatavari kalp 1 tsp morning with warm milk – balances female hormones, reduces hot flashes, mood swings.

2 Ashokarishta 30ml-0-30ml after food – regulates cycles and improves uterine health.

3 Panchajeeraka rasyana 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water

☑️FOR BRAIN FOG, DEPRESSION

1 Brahmi cap 1-0-1 after food – sharpens memory, relieves brain fog.

2 Ashwagandharistha 30ml after lunch – reduces stress, stabilizes mood, nourishes nervous system.

✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Take warm, freshly cooked meals with ghee, turmeric, and cumin.

Avoid processed, packaged, and inflammatory foods (refined sugar, excess fried food).

Drink herbal teas of ginger, tulsi, and turmeric daily.

Ensure early bedtime (before 11 pm), as late nights worsen hormonal imbalance.

Practice Pranayama (Anulom-Vilom, Bhramari) – calms the nervous system.

Gentle yoga: Balasana, Setu Bandhasana, Supta Baddha Konasana – excellent for hormones.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

Since you are experiencing confusion and forgetfulness, please also get thyroid profile, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and hormone levels checked, as deficiencies and thyroid disorders often mimic these symptoms.

The above approach when combined with a wholesome diet, regular detox, yoga, and pranayama, can bring long-term relief.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO BHUMI,

From what you described, your body is showing signs of -Hormonal imbalance= irregular mood swings, fatigue, brain fog. Hormones like thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, or progesterone could be out of balance, affecting mood, sleep , memory, and energy

-High inflammation= feeling of heaviness, dull ness, brain fog, possibly joint stiffness or low immunity . chronic inflammation affects almost every organ, including the brain, and can worsen hormonal issues

-Brain and mental symptoms= confusion, forgetfulness, slow thinking. In Ayurveda , this is seen as “Manas dhatu (mind tissue) imbalance” caused by vata and pitta vitiation

In simple terms = your body and mind are out of balance, stress hormones are high, inflammation os high, and your natural energy flow is disturbed

TREATMENT GOALS -reducing inflammation= calming the overactive immune response in the body -balancing hormones= normalising thyroid, adrenal , and reproductive hormones -improving brain function= enhancing memory, focus, clarity, and reducing confusion -stabilizing mood and energy = reducing anxiety, irritability, and depression - detoxifying the body= removing accumulated toxins that worsen brain and hormonal issues

INTERNAL TREATMENT

1) BRAHMI GHRITA= 15ml with warm milk in morning for 3 months =enhances memory, concentration, reduces confusion, calms mind, supports hormonal balance indirectly

2) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp twice daily morning and evening for 3 mnoths =general immunity, anti inflammatory , hormone support, mental clarity

3) ASHWAGANDHA + BRAHMI + SHANKHAPUSHPI COMBINATIO POWDER/CAPSULES= Ashwagandha 250mg, brahmi 125 mg, shankhapushpi 125 mg = 2 cap twice daily with warm water for 3 mnoths =strong stress reducer, improves brain function, stabilises mood, lowers cortisol

4) TRIPHALA GHRITA= 10 ml at night with warm milk for 2 months =detoxifciation, improves digestion, removes ama, indirectly supports hormonal balance and inflammation

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE= self oil massage with Almond oil + sesame oil =improves blood flow, calms nervous system, balances vata

2) NASYA= instill 2 drops of brahmi ghrita in each nostril daily morning =calms mind, reduces brain fog, depression etc

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -reduce stress -meditation, gentle walks -regular sleep schedule, ideally 10-11 pm to 6-7 am -avoid excess caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods -stay hydrated with warm water and herbal teas -avoid multitasking to reduce mental fatigue

YOGA ASANAS -sarvangasana= improves hormonal function -matsyasana= thyroid support -setu bandhasana= reduces fatigue -shavasana= reduce stress, mental dullness

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= calms mind, balances nerves system -bhramari= reduces anxiety, improves focus -kapalbhati= energizes brain, reduces toxins

DIET -fresh fruits and vegetables - berries, leafy greens , carrots etc -whole grains- quinoa, oats, barley -nuts and seeds- almonds, walnuts, flax, chia -spices = turmeric, ginger, cinnamon -warm water, herbal teas

AVOID -fried, oily, processed foods -excess sugar and refined carbs -cold drinks or heavy foods -excess caffeine and alcohol

HOME REMEDIES -turmeric milk at night -ginger tea for inflammation -amla juice for antioxidants

-Your condition is treatable with a combination of herbal supplements, lifestyle, diet, yoga and detox therapies -improvement may take 2-3 mnoths with consistent efforts -focus on reducing inflammation, balancing hormones, and calming the mind

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

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.

Based on your symptoms, an Ayurvedic perspective would likely point to an imbalance of the Vata and Pitta doshas.

Vata Imbalance: The mood swings, brain fog, confusion while communicating, forgetfulness, and depression are all classic signs of an aggravated Vata dosha. Vata, associated with air and ether, governs all movement in the body, including the nervous system and mental processes. When out of balance, it leads to a feeling of being ungrounded, scattered, and anxious.

Pitta Imbalance: Your mention of “high inflammation level” is a key indicator of aggravated Pitta. Pitta, associated with fire and water, governs metabolism and transformation. When it’s in excess, it can manifest as heat, anger, irritability, and inflammatory conditions throughout the body.

The combination of Vata and Pitta imbalance is like a “forest fire,” where the dry, erratic qualities of Vata fuel the hot, intense nature of Pitta, leading to burnout and a foggy mind.

The Ayurvedic Approach Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to address the root cause of the imbalance, not just the symptoms. A qualified Ayurvedic practitioner would create a personalized treatment plan that includes:

1. Diet (Aahar):

Vata and Pitta-Pacifying Diet: Focus on warm, cooked, nourishing, and grounding foods. Avoid dry, raw, cold, and highly processed foods, which can aggravate Vata. To pacify Pitta, avoid spicy, sour, and fried foods.

Foods to Favor:

Grains: Whole grains like cooked oats, quinoa, and rice.

Vegetables: Cooked root vegetables, leafy greens, and cooling vegetables like cucumber and sweet potatoes.

Fruits: Sweet fruits like apples, pears, and mangoes.

Fats: Ghee (clarified butter) is highly recommended for its nourishing and calming properties.

Spices: Use calming and anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric (with a pinch of black pepper for absorption), cumin, coriander, and fennel.

2. Lifestyle (Vihar):

Establish a Routine (Dinacharya): A consistent daily routine is fundamental for balancing Vata. Waking up and going to bed at the same time, eating meals at regular intervals, and having a structured day can help anchor your nervous system.

Manage Stress: Stress is a major contributor to both Vata and Pitta imbalances. Practices like meditation, gentle yoga (particularly calming poses), and Pranayama (breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana) can be very effective.

Mindful Practices: Engage in activities that calm your mind and senses, such as walking in nature, listening to calming music, or journaling.

Sleep: Prioritize getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep. A light dinner eaten a few hours before bedtime can help improve sleep quality.

Treatment 1) tab manasamrita rasa 1 tab after food 2 times

2) ashwagandharishta+sarasvatarishta-20 ml after food 2 times

❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts…

🧘‍♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.

❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.

❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.

❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume… Let it be spiritual or positive… too much motivation can also cause depression.

✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.

✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.

✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.

✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.

💊 Medication: 💊

Panchendriya Vardhan Tailam 2 drops in each nostril early in the morning empty stomach.

Syp. Punarnavasav 30ml teice a day before food Cap. Memorin(S.G.Phytopharma) 2 caps twice a day before food. Syp. Prasham 4 tsp at bed time with lukewarm water. Tab. Manasmitra Vatak 2 tabs at bed time.

hello Bhumi sharma ,

I hear you. Living with hormonal imbalance along with mood swings, dullness, brain fog, forgetfulness, and inflammation can make day-to-day life very heavy. These symptoms show that both your hormonal rhythm and nervous system balance are disturbed. Ayurveda sees this as a mix of dosha imbalance (mainly vata + pitta) and low ojas (body’s natural strength and clarity). Let me guide you in simple, practical steps.

Mood swings, depression, brain fog, forgetfulness → these point to your mind–body connection being weak, almost like the “wires are not sparking properly.” Inflammation means there’s hidden irritation inside your body, often made worse by wrong food, stress, and poor sleep.

Hormonal imbalance often worsens when digestion and lifestyle are not in rhythm.

1. First stage – Calm the mind and reduce inflammation (10–15 days)

Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after meals (improves memory, focus, reduces anxiety). Ashwagandha churna – ½ tsp with warm milk at night (balances hormones, reduces stress). Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water after lunch & dinner (for brain fog, dullness).

2. Next stage – Balance hormones & rebuild strength (from 2nd week onwards)

Shatavari churna – ½ tsp twice daily with lukewarm water (for female hormonal balance). Chyawanprash – 1 tsp in morning with warm water (strengthens immunity, improves ojas). Kalyanaka Ghrita – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (excellent for mood, depression, forgetfulness).

3. Food guidance (very important) Include: Warm, freshly cooked meals, green leafy vegetables, ghee, soaked almonds, dates, pumpkin seeds, fresh fruits (papaya, apple, pomegranate). Avoid: Junk, cold drinks, packaged food, excess tea/coffee, late-night eating. Drink warm water or herbal teas (ginger–tulsi, cumin–coriander–fennel water).

4. Lifestyle support Sleep on time (before 11 PM). Poor sleep worsens both mood and hormones. Daily morning sunlight exposure – balances hormones naturally. Light yoga & pranayama (alternate nostril breathing, bhramari humming) for 10 mins daily. Write down tasks to reduce forgetfulness and confusion.

Investigations to check

Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4). Vitamin D & B12. Fasting sugar, HbA1c. CRP/ESR (inflammation markers). Hormonal profile (if cycles are irregular).

You’re not alone in this. Many people with hormonal imbalances feel the same brain fog and mood changes but with steady Ayurveda medicines, proper food, and daily habits, your energy, clarity, and confidence will slowly return. Give your body 2–3 months, and you will see a real difference. Trust your healing capacity.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Addressing hormonal imbalances and associated symptoms like mood swings, brain fog, and depression through Ayurveda requires a comprehensive approach to balance the doshas and particularly pacify the agni (digestive fire). The symptoms suggest an imbalance of Vata and possibly Pitta dosha, which can affect the mind and body harmony.

First consider your diet, which plays a crucial role in managing inflammation and hormonal balance. Incorporate grounding and cooling foods that pacify Vata and Pitta. Favor cooked warm meals, like stews with root vegetables—sweet potatoes, carrots, and such. Add spices like cumin, coriander, fennel which harmonize digestion.

Stay hydrated with herbal teas like ashwagandha or tulsi, known for calming the nervous system and helping with brain fog. Tulsi particularly aids in clearing the mind and elevating mood. These should be non-stimulant alternatives to caffeinated beverages, which can aggravate Vata and Pitta.

Regarding lifestyle, a regular routine is important. Try to wake up before sunrise and practice gentle yoga and pranayama like Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing, which balances the nervous system, enhances mental clarity, and reduces stress.

A daily self-abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame or almond oil can help soothe Vata. It’s best performed before a warm shower to allow your body to absorb the oil’s benefits. This helps in nurturing the skin and reducing anxiety.

Herbal supplements, like Brahmi or Shankhapushpi, can promote better memory and focus. These herbs support mental clarity and cognitive function, promoting balance in the neurological system. Dabur’s Brahmi syrup is an accessible option available online.

Always consult with a certified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal supplements, especially to ensure they don’t conflict with ongoing medical treatments or conditions. If symptoms might be severe or affecting your daily life, seek professional medical or mental health services without delay.

To address the hormonal imbalances and inflammation causing symptoms like mood swings and brain fog, let’s focus on balancing doshas and enhancing overall well-being. Your symptoms suggest an imbalance, likely involving vata and pitta doshas, along with possibly affected agni.

Firstly, working with diet is essential. Include warm, nourishing foods that are easy to digest, which can be particularly beneficial for harmonizing vata. Think of meals like kichari or lightly spiced soups. Include herbs such as ashwagandha or brahmi to support mental clarity and calmness—add them in the form of powders or capsules, after meals, twice daily. Incorporate turmeric and ginger tea as both possess anti-inflammatory properties.

Besides, consider undertaking abhyanga, a soothing oil massage using sesame oil, to calm the nervous system and reduce stress, ideally in the morning before a warm bath. Daily yoga and pranayama practices like nadi shodhana or alternate nostril breathing will also aid mental clarity and balance.

For improving brain health and memory, ensure adequate rest and regular sleeping patterns. Set a consistent sleep schedule and avoid screens before bed to enhance their quality.

It’s crucial to keep track of any serious or worsening symptoms. If severe symptoms like persistent depression or significant memory lapses continue, seeking advice from a healthcare professional is important to rule out underlying conditions needing immediate attention.

Integrating these strategies should help manage your symptoms by addressing the underlying doshic imbalances and inflammation, fostering a balanced state of health. Remember, gradual lifestyle changes often bring perceptible benefits over time.

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. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

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

Dr. 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. 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. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. 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. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

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.

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.
