hello Janeera ,

I understand how disturbing and exhausting this must feel for you. Having continuous crawling sensation on the right side of the head, pressure at the back of the head, tightness, and ear shaking can make it very difficult to do daily activities. Since your MRI is normal, it means there is no major structural damage in the brain, which is reassuring.

What you are describing often comes from nerve irritation, migraine-like headaches, or cervical (neck) tension.

Crawling sensation and ear shaking are usually related to nerve overactivity (like when nerves are extra sensitive, they give false signals).

The head pressure and tightness could be from stress, poor sleep, or long-standing headache disorder (like migraine or tension-type headache).

Since you already have a history of headache for 5 years, this is most likely a chronic nerve-related headache, not a dangerous condition.

This is often seen as Vata imbalance in the head region (Shiroroga / Ardhavabhedaka pattern), where nerves become unstable and overactive. Long-term headache weakens the nerves and causes sensations like crawling or shaking.

1. First calm down the nerve irritation (initial 10 days)

Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals. Brahmi vati – 1 tab twice daily (calms nerves, reduces crawling sensation). Anu Taila – 2 drops in each nostril daily morning after lukewarm water gargle.

2. Continue with medicines (after 10 days)

Kalyanaka Ghrita – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water/milk. Ashwagandha churna – ½ tsp with warm milk in the evening.

3. External therapies (if possible near you)

Shiro abhyanga (oil massage on scalp with Brahmi taila or Ksheerabala taila) daily for 10 mins. Shirodhara (if available) – once or twice a week, very effective for head pressure, crawling sensation, and sleep.

Investigations (to be safe and complete)

Even though MRI is normal, I suggest these: EEG (to rule out abnormal brain electrical activity, since you feel ear shakes/crawling). Vitamin B12, Vitamin D levels (low levels can cause crawling sensations/nerve irritation). Cervical spine X-ray / MRI if neck pain or stiffness is also present.

Lifestyle Advice

Try to keep fixed sleep timings – even if you don’t get sleep, lie down calmly with lights off. Avoid mobile/laptop use for long hours, especially at night. Warm water bath before sleep relaxes the head and nerves. Light yoga, pranayama (alternate nostril breathing, bhramari humming) for 10–15 mins daily.

I want you to know – this is not a life-threatening disease. Many people with long-standing headaches and nerve irritations face the same sensations. With proper Ayurvedic treatment, calming medicines, and regular lifestyle, your nerves can regain stability and these crawling/shaking sensations will gradually reduce. Give it a few months of consistent care, and you’ll feel a clear difference.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Hello Janeera ji I understand your concern you are facing head-related nerve sensations, crawling feeling, pressure/tightness, ear shaking, and constant disturbance since 5 years.

MRI being normal means there is no major structural disease in the brain, which is good. But chronic symptoms point towards functional imbalance — could be neurological, vascular, or stress-related.but don’t worry we are here to help you out😊

POSSIBLE REASON (when MRI is normal)

1. Chronic Migraine / Tension Headache causes tightness, pressure, crawling sensations. 2. Nerve Irritation / Trigeminal Neuralgia (mild form) abnormal sensations on one side of head/ear. 3. Cervical Spine issue (Cervical Spondylosis) neck stiffness & nerve compression cause head pressure and ear sensations. 4. Anxiety, Stress, Insomnia can amplify nerve sensations even if no structural disease is present. 5. Ear–Vestibular Imbalance sometimes inner ear dysfunction can cause ear shakes, pressure, imbalance.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT (Ayurveda + Lifestyle + General Care)

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION This is mainly Vata imbalance (asymmetrical, moving, nerve-related sensations).

☑️Medhya Rasayana herbs (for brain & nerves)

1 Brahmi capsules 1-0-1 after food (improves calmness, reduces crawling sensations).

2 Shankhpushpi syrup 10ml-10ml-10ml (reduces stress, improves sleep).

3 Stresscom 1-0-1 after food (strengthens nerves, relieves pressure).

4 Jatamansi capsules 1 at bed time (good for insomnia & anxiety).

☑️Taila Nasya (Nasal Therapy)

Daily 2 drops Anu Taila in each nostril (morning) helps reduce head tightness and nerve irritations.

☑️Head Abhyanga (Oil Massage):

Use Ksheerbala Taila for gentle scalp massage at night.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

Warm, easily digestible diet (avoid excessive cold, dry, or stale food). Cow ghee 1 tsp daily (nourishes brain & nerves). Avoid caffeine, processed foods, excess screen time at night. Stay hydrated.

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Daily 20–30 min walk in fresh air. Yoga: Balasana, Shavasana, Bhramari Pranayama (very good for head tightness & buzzing). Sleep hygiene: fixed bedtime, avoid late nights, dim light before sleep. Stress management with meditation.

Your problem looks more functional nerve irritation + Vata imbalance, not a major brain disease since MRI is normal. With proper Ayurvedic herbs (Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Jatamansi), Nasya, oil massage, calming yoga, and sleep care, symptoms can gradually reduce.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Based on the symptoms you’re describing, Ayurveda might suggest an imbalance in Vata dosha, particularly due to increased mental stress or irregular lifestyle patterns. This could lead to issues with the nervous system, which often manifest as sensations or tightness in the head region. Ayurveda emphasizes harmonizing the body through diet, lifestyle modifications, and specific treatments to address such imbalances

Consider including grounding and nourishing practices in your daily routine. First, evaluate your diet. Opt for warm, cooked meals rich in ghee and oils to pacify Vata, avoiding cold, dry, or processed foods. Including herbs like Ashwagandha or Brahmi can also be beneficial; they are said to support the nervous system, although it’s wise to consult a practitioner about exact dosage. Engage in regular self-abhyanga (oil massage), particularly with sesame oil, focusing on head and feet, to calm your nervous system. Warm oil gently rubbed on the scalp might provide relief from unusual sensations you experience.

Practicing regular meditation or pranayama can help in achieving mental stability, supporting Vata balance. Try Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) or Shavasana (corpse pose) which may calm both mind and body. Set a fixed routine for sleep, ensuring you retire at a similar time daily to improve overall restfulness and vitality

Remember, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional. Emphasizing routine and consistency in food, medication, and activities can greatly assist you in managing these disturbances, but medical advice should always be prioritized when required. Taking the right steps towards holistic healing can sometimes make significant difference.

Based on the symptoms you’ve described—crawling sensation, pressure, and tightness in the head, along with a shaking sensation in the right ear and severe sleep disturbances—it’s understandable that you are looking for answers. The fact that your MRI is normal is a good sign, as it rules out some of the most serious structural problems.

In the context of Ayurveda, your symptoms would be analyzed through the lens of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The symptoms you describe, especially the crawling sensation, pressure, shaking, and severe sleep disturbance, are highly indicative of a significant Vata dosha imbalance.

The Ayurvedic Perspective Vata Dosha Imbalance: Vata governs all movement in the body, including nerve impulses, circulation, and thought processes. When Vata is aggravated, it can lead to erratic, nervous, and dry qualities. The crawling sensation, shaking ear, and disturbed sleep are classic signs of aggravated Vata in the nervous system. The pressure and tightness in the head are often described as “Vataja Shirashoola” or a Vata-type headache, which can be triggered by stress, anxiety, irregular routines, and lack of sleep.

Pitta and Kapha: While Vata is likely the primary issue, there could be involvement of other doshas. Pitta (fire and water) imbalance might contribute to the “push” sensation and could be exacerbated by mental stress or overthinking. Kapha (earth and water) imbalance, though less likely to be the main culprit for these specific symptoms, can lead to a feeling of heaviness or dullness, but your symptoms sound more active and nervous.

Potential Root Causes from an Ayurvedic Viewpoint According to Ayurveda, the root cause of Vata aggravation can often be traced back to lifestyle factors, including:

Stress and Anxiety: Your symptoms, especially the 24-hour disturbance and inability to work, strongly suggest a connection to mental stress. The mind and nervous system are deeply linked.

Lack of Sleep (Nidra Kshyaya): Not sleeping for 24 hours is a major cause and symptom of Vata imbalance. It creates a vicious cycle where Vata aggravation prevents sleep, and the lack of sleep further aggravates Vata.

Irregular Routine and Diet: A young person’s lifestyle, including irregular eating habits, skipping meals, and a late sleep schedule, can significantly disrupt Vata.

Excessive Mental and Physical Exertion: Working too much, thinking too much, and not giving your body and mind enough rest can deplete the nervous system’s energy.

Ayurvedic Recommendation

Nidana Parivarjana (Elimination of Cause): The first and most crucial step is to address the lifestyle factors that are causing the imbalance.

Establish a routine: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.

Manage stress: This is paramount. Incorporate practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises (Pranayama), and gentle yoga to calm the nervous system.

Eat warm, nourishing foods: Vata is cold and dry, so a diet of warm, cooked, and slightly oily foods like soups, stews, and porridges is recommended. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods.

Limit stimulants: Reduce or eliminate caffeine, nicotine, and processed foods.

Panchakarma (Detoxification and Rejuvenation): A qualified practitioner may recommend specific therapies to balance Vata.

Shirodhara: This is a key therapy for Vata in the head and nervous system. It involves a continuous, gentle stream of warm medicated oil poured over the forehead (Ajna Chakra). It is profoundly calming for the mind and nerves and is highly effective for insomnia, stress, and anxiety.

Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Daily self-massage with warm sesame or Mahanarayana oil can help ground Vata, soothe the nervous system, and improve sleep.

Nasya: Administering medicated oils or ghee into the nostrils is a powerful therapy to treat head and neck disorders, including those affecting the senses and the brain.

Karnapoorana (Ear Oiling): Instilling warm medicated oil into the ears can be beneficial for Vata-related ear symptoms like the shaking sensation.

Conclusion A normal MRI is excellent news, as it means the problem is functional rather than structural. In Ayurveda, this points towards an imbalance in the doshas, specifically Vata, which can be corrected with a holistic approach. Do not self-medicate or attempt complex therapies without professional guidance.

Treatment 1) Tab shirashuladi vajra rasa- 2 tab after food 3 times

2) tab manasamrita rasa- 1 tab after food with ghee 2 times

3) ashwagnadharishta+ sarasvatarishta -20 ml after food with water

Based on your description, it seems you might be experiencing a Vata imbalance affecting the nervous system, which is common in Ayurveda identified through symptoms like sensation of crawling, pressure, and tightness. The imbalance in Vata, which governs movement and communication in the body, could be contributing to these symptoms.

Start by focusing on calming Vata. Regularly oiling with warm sesame oil on your scalp and body can be beneficial. Massage gently, especially on the areas where you feel tension, for about 15 to 20 minutes before taking a warm bath or shower. This helps soothe the nerves and improve circulation, addressing both the physical and energetic tensions.

Ensure your diet is warm, nourishing, and grounding. Incorporate cooked vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats like ghee. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods, as they can aggravate Vata.

Consider practicing Pranayama (breathing exercises) like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) daily to balance the energy channels or nadis and restore mental calm. Try practicing it for 5-10 minutes in the morning and again in the evening.

Regarding herbal support, Ashwagandha is often used to support the nervous system and manage stress. You can take it as a powder mixed with warm milk before bedtime to improve sleep quality.

If your symptoms persist or worsen, visit a healthcare specialist who understands neurology to rule out any underlying conditions. Urgency in seeking medical care becomes essential if new or severe symptoms like sudden headaches, confusion, or coordination issues appear. Remember that Ayurveda complements but does not replace, professional medical advice.

HELLO JANEERA,

You have had symptoms for 5 years -crawling sensation on the right side of the head (like ants walking) -tightness, pressure behind the head -ear shaking or strange nerve feeling -continuous disturbance- even at night, disturbing sleep -MRI and scans are normal

In modern medicine, when brain scans are normal but such symptoms persist, it can be related to -nerve irritability/neuropathy -chronic migraine or tension type headache -cervical nerve issues -functional neurological disorder (symptoms without structural disease )

In Ayurveda, this is mainly due to -vata imbalance - irregular movement, crawling, restlessness, pain -Pitta aggravation= headache, burning, tightness, insomnia -Long term imbalance affecting Majja dhatu (nervous system tissue)

TREATMENT GOALS -calm vata and Pitta dosha= reduce crawling sensation, tightness, and ear issues -Nourish majja dhatu = strengthen nervous system -Improve sleep and reduce restlessness -Detox and rejuvinate through rasayana therapy -promote mental calmness through diet, yoga and lifestyle

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) BRAHMI GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk in morning for 3 mnths =improves memory, calms nerves, balances vata pitta

2) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for 3 months =strengthens nerves, reduces anxiety and insomnia

3) SARAWATARISHTA= 15ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 3 months =supports mind, nerves, concentration, reduce stress

4) TAGARADI CHURNA= 2gm at bedtime with warm water =promotes sound sleep, reduces head restlessness

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) NASYA KARMA= 2 drops of Shad bindu taila in each nostril in morning = clears head channels, improves nerve supply to head and ear -21 days then break repeat as needed

2) OIL MASSAGE= with Mahanarayan taila followed by warm bath daily =reduce nerve irritation, calms body and mind

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -sleep early, wake early, avoid late nights -keep a regular routine; irregular habits aggravate vata -avoid loud noise excessive mobile/computer use, mental strain -warm oil head massage coconut oil before bath -foot massage with warm ghee before sleep-> improves sleep and calms vata

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balance vata -Bhramari= calms nerves, helps headache

ASANAS -balasana -shavasana -setu bandhasana -viparita karani

MEDITATION -10-15 min guided relaxation daily

DO EAT -warm, freshly cooked meals -cow’s ghee, milk with turmeric or nutmeg - rice, wheat, moong dal, root vegetables -soaked almonds, walnuts -herbal teas-brahmi, jatamansi, chamomile

AVOID -dry, stale, packaged foods -cold drinks, ice, raw salads at night -spicy, very sour, fermented foods -excess coffee, tea, alcohol , smoking

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -warm ghee in nose 2 drops at bedtime= calms head nerves -Nutmeg paste with milk on forehead at night- promotes sleep -Brahmi tea- reduces stress and crawling sensation -cumin + coriander + fennel tea- balances pitta helps headache

-Your problem is long-standing, functional, and nerve related rather than structural (since scan are normal) -Ayurveda looks at it as a vata-pitta imbalance affecting head and nerves -since this is chronic expect 3-6 months of consistent ayurvedic management for improvement

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

Dr. 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. 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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

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. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

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

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