HELLO SWATI,

You are having -Pain in lower abdomen, hip joint, and groin-> main due to vata dosha imbalance (dryness, irregular movement, nerve irritation) -Fibroid in uterus and ovarian/kidney/liver cysts-> these are Kapha dosha growths (blockage, stagnation, excess tissue formation) -Consitpation= due to vata imbalance and weak digestion -Black marks on neck-> could be related to insulin resistance or hormonal imbalance, in Ayurveda linked to kapha and Ama (toxins) accumulation

So, Ayurveda sees this as a kapha-vata disorder with Ama and hormonal imbalance

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce pain balance vata -shrink/control fibroid and cyst -improve digestion and remove toxins-> so body doesn’t produce new cysts/fibroids -regulate hormones and metabolism- control pigmentation , balance periods -rejuvination-> prevent recurrence, improve fertility, energy , and general health

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water -dissolves fibroids, cysts, and unwanted growths

2) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 15ml with equal water twice daily before meals =works on urinary system, ovarian cysts, and kapha disorders

3) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily -=balances female hormones, relieves vaginal discomfort and groin pain

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =relieves constipation, detoxifies body , prevents ama formation

5) PUNARNAVA MANDOOR= 1 tab twice daily after meals =improves liver and kidney function, reduces sweeling, helps in metabolism

6) HARIDRA KHANDA + AMLA POWDER= 1/2 tsp each daily =for pigmentation skin clarity and sugar balance

DIET -light, warm, cooked fod -whole grains, red rice , barley, millet, quinoa -green vegetables= bottle gourd, ridge gourd, drumstick, bitter gourd -moong dal, lentils -spices= turmeric, ginger, cumin ,coriander, fenugrrek , cinnamon -warm water or cumin-coriander- fennel seed water

AVOID -excess dairy especially curd at night, cheese, panner -fried/oily, fast food, refined flour, sugar, bakery, items -cold drinks, refrigerated food -red meat, heavy non veg

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Sleep= early to bed, early to rise. avoid late nights -Hydration= warm water, avoid ice cold drinks -Routine= regular meals, regular bowel habits -Stress management= meditation, journaling, listening to calming music -avoid siting long hours= take short walks

YOGA ASANAS -supta baddha konasana= relaxes pelvis, improves blood flow -setu bandhasana= strengthens pelvic organs -malasana= improves digestion, relieves constipation -pawanmuktasana= reduces bloating, eases pain

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances hormones -bhramari= calms stress, reduces pain perception -kapalbhati= helps metabolism and insulin resistance

HOME REMEDIES -warm water with 1/2 tsp turmeric + pinch of black Pepper daily -soak fenugrrek seeds overnight -> drink water and chew seeds in morning -aloe vera pulp + turmeric small mix daily -apply neem+ turmeric paste on black neck marks

-Your condition is chronic but manageable with proper ayurvedic and lifestyle management -The main focus is removing toxins , balancing kapha and vata, supporting digestion, and correcting metabolism -Ayurvedic medicines will help shrink fibroids/cysts, relieve pain, regulate hormones, and improve overall energy -yoga, diet, and lifestyle changes are equally important as medicines

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

​Based on the symptoms you’ve described, an Ayurvedic perspective would likely focus on balancing the body’s fundamental energies, or doshas, to address the root cause of these issues.

Your symptoms—including cysts, fibroids, constipation, and the darkening of the neck—suggest an imbalance of Kapha and Vata doshas.

​Ayurvedic Analysis of Your Symptoms

​Cysts and Fibroids (Kidney, Liver, Ovaries): In Ayurveda, these growths are considered a manifestation of a Kapha imbalance. Kapha is associated with earth and water elements and governs body structure, lubrication, and growth. An excess of Kapha can lead to the formation of tumors, cysts, and fibroids due to stagnation and the accumulation of toxins.

​Needling Pain (Lower Abdomen, Joint Hip, Groin): This type of sharp, pricking pain is a classic symptom of a Vata imbalance. Vata, associated with air and space elements, governs movement in the body, including nerve impulses and circulation. When Vata is aggravated, it can cause pain, dryness, and irregular bodily functions.

​Frequent Constipation: Constipation is another key sign of Vata imbalance. Vata’s dry and mobile nature can disrupt the proper movement of the colon, leading to dryness and difficulty in passing stool. ​Black Marks on the Neck

(Hyperpigmentation): In Ayurveda, this condition, often referred to as Griva Varna Vikara, can be linked to a deep-seated Kapha and Pitta imbalance. It’s often associated with sluggish metabolism and can be a sign of insulin resistance, which is closely related to metabolic disorders.

​Ayurvedic Recommendations ​An Ayurvedic practitioner would recommend a holistic approach focused on diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies to restore balance. The goal is to pacify both Kapha and Vata while simultaneously cleansing the body of accumulated toxins.

​Dietary Guidelines ​Pacify Kapha: Avoid heavy, oily, sweet, and cold foods. Favor warm, light, and dry foods. Incorporate spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric to improve digestion and metabolism. ​Pacify Vata: Avoid dry, cold, and raw foods. Eat warm, well-cooked, and nourishing meals. Use healthy fats like ghee (clarified butter) to lubricate the system. ​Lifestyle Changes ​Regular Exercise: Gentle, consistent exercise, particularly yoga, can help improve circulation and reduce Kapha stagnation. ​Stress Management: Practice meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) to calm the nervous system and balance Vata. ​Regular Routine: Maintain a consistent daily routine for meals, sleep, and exercise to stabilize Vata.

hello swati bhatia ,

You are experiencing lower abdominal and hip pain, groin discomfort, and vaginal discomfort, along with a history of cysts in the kidney, liver, ovaries, and a fibroid. Frequent constipation and black marks on the neck suggest digestive and hormonal imbalance, leading to accumulation of toxins (Ama) and sluggish metabolism. This is why you feel heaviness, pain, and discomfort.

Ayurvedic Management:

1. Ama Pachana (First 5–7 days) Trikatu Churna – 1 teaspoon, twice daily before meals with warm water. Chitrakadi Vati – 1 tablet, twice daily before meals.

2. Internal Medicines (From day 6–7 onwards, for 4–6 weeks)

Kanchanara Guggulu – 2 tablets, twice daily after meals. Gokshuradi Guggulu – 1 tablet, twice daily after meals. Punarnavadi Kashayam – 30 ml, twice daily before meals.

Investigations :

Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis (to monitor cysts and fibroid). Liver and kidney function tests. Blood sugar, lipid profile, and hormonal panel if indicated. Routine complete blood count and urine examination. These steps will reduce Ama, improve digestion, relieve pain, and help manage cysts/fibroid naturally.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

The symptoms you’re describing, including lower abdominal and groin discomfort, could be associated with the cysts and fibroid you’ve mentioned. In Ayurveda, such issues often correlate with an imbalance in the doshas, possibly a Vata and Pitta prakruti, affecting the reproductive and urinary systems. To address constipation and pain, enhancing Agni (digestive fire) is crucial.

Start by incorporating warm, easy-to-digest foods into your diet, such as kitchari (a mix of rice and mung dal), and avoid cold or raw foods which can aggravate Vata. Include ginger tea, sip on it throughout the day as it can help improve digestion and reduce abdominal discomfort. Also, a teaspoon of castor oil at bedtime for a few days might help relieve constipation, but observe how your body responds.

For the cysts and fibroid, lifestyle changes like ensuring regular physical activity, perhaps light yoga can help balance Vata and Pitta doshas. Practicing asanas like Vajrasana (after meals) and Supta Baddha Konasana may aid in alleviating discomfort in the pelvic region.

Avoid overly spiced, salty, or refined foods—these may further provoke Pitta dosha. Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day and consider Triphala churna at night to support bowel regularity.

Regarding the black marks, they might indicate an underlying imbalance. Eating antioxidant-rich foods, like amla or consuming mixed fruit juices, can support bodily detoxification.

Experiencing these kinds of pain, especially related to internal cysts and fibroids, necessitates periodic medical supervision. Working alongside Ayurvedic care with regular check-ups, particularly if symptoms persist or worsen, would be prudent. If pain becomes intense or if new symptoms arise, seeking immediate medical advice is essential for your overall well-being.

Lower abdominal and groin discomfort alongside cysts in the kidneys, liver, ovaries, and fibroids could indicate an imbalance in the body that needs addressing holistically. This pain and the appearance of black marks on the neck suggest a possible Kapha and Pitta aggravation. Cyst formation often links with excess Kapha, leading to congestion and stagnation in tissue systems like the meda dhatu (fat tissues). These conditions are connected to digestive and liver issues as well.

Start by focusing on your diet and digestion to balance Pitta and Kapha. Avoid heavy, greasy, and overly sweet or salty foods that can exacerbate Kapha. Incorporate more bitter, astringent, and pungent tastes—like leafy vegetables, spices such as turmeric and ginger—to promote digestive fire and clearance of excess Kapha. Drinking warm water with a slice of lemon upon waking can aid digestion and improve metabolism.

Triphala churna is beneficial for supporting bowel regularity and gentle detoxification. Take a teaspoon with warm water before bed to assist with constipation. Maintain regular meals at consistent times to support agni (digestive fire).

Additionally, mild yoga and simple stretching can enhance circulation and ease joint discomfort, especially around the hip area. Nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can help balance energy channels, reduce stress, and support overall vitality.

For the cysts and fibroids, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized herbal formulations is recommended, as they’ll tailor remedies to your unique prakriti.

Given your conditions, regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are crucial to monitor the cysts and any related complications. If the pain intensifies suddenly or if new symptoms arise, seek immediate medical attention. This balance of traditional and modern medicine will aid your path to healing.

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. 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?

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. 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. 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. 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. Kirankumari Rathod
I am someone who kinda grew into Panchakarma without planning it much at first... just knew I wanted to understand the deeper layers of Ayurveda, not just the surface stuff. I did both my graduation and post-grad from Govt. Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital in Bangalore — honestly that place shaped a lot of how I think about healing, especially long-term healing. After my PG, I started working right away as an Assistant Professor & consultant in the Panchakarma dept at a private Ayurveda college. Teaching kinda made me realise how much we ourselves learn by explaining things to others... and watching patients go through their detox journeys—real raw healing—was where I got hooked. Now, with around 6 years of clinical exp in Panchakarma practice, I'm working as an Associate Professor, still in the same dept., still learning, still teaching. I focus a lot on individualised protocols—Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all and honestly, that’s what makes it tricky but also beautiful. Right now I’m also doing my PhD, it’s on female infertility—a topic I feel not just academically drawn to but personally invested in, cause I see how complex and layered it gets for many women. Managing that along with academics and patient care isn’t super easy, I won’t lie, but it kinda fuels each other. The classroom work helps my clinical thinking, and my clinical work makes me question things in research more sharply. There's a lot I still wanna explore—especially in how we explain Panchakarma better to newer patients. Many people still think it's just oil massage or some spa thing but the depth is wayyy beyond that. I guess I keep hoping to make that clarity come through—whether it’s in class or during a consult or even during a quick OPD chat.

I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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. 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.
