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.

The information you’ve provided, including the spread of pain from your wrist to your leg and your use of various medicines and supplements, indicates a complex health issue that requires professional medical attention.

The combination of symptoms—pain starting in the wrist, spreading to the leg, and getting progressively worse—is not typical for a simple musculoskeletal issue and could be a sign of a more serious underlying condition. This is especially true since you describe it as a “nerve problem.”

Here’s a breakdown of what the symptoms you’ve described could potentially indicate, based on general medical knowledge, and why a proper diagnosis is crucial:

Systemic Conditions: Pain that affects joints and nerves in multiple parts of the body (like your wrist and leg) can be a symptom of a systemic disease. Examples include:

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): This is an autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body, often affecting joints in a symmetrical pattern (e.g., both wrists, both knees). It can cause pain, swelling, and nerve issues.

Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus - SLE): Another autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs and systems, including joints and nerves, causing widespread pain and other symptoms.

Nerve Compression: While carpal tunnel syndrome is a well-known nerve compression issue in the wrist, other nerve conditions can also cause pain that radiates or presents in multiple locations. A condition in the spine (like sciatica) could cause leg pain, and it’s possible for multiple nerve issues to exist at the same time, or for a single condition to affect different parts of your nervous system.

Other Possibilities: Less common but serious causes could include certain types of infections or even vascular issues, though these are less likely to present as a spreading “nerve problem” in the way you describe.

Regarding the medicines and supplements you’re using:

Pregabalin: This is a prescription medication often used to treat nerve pain (neuropathic pain). The fact that a doctor prescribed this suggests that they have identified a nerve component to your pain.

Vitamin B12: This vitamin is crucial for nerve health. It is often prescribed for individuals with nerve-related issues.

Ayurvedic Supplements (Ashwagandharisht, Safed Musli, Dhatuposhtik powder): These are traditional Ayurvedic preparations. While some of the herbs they contain, like Ashwagandha, are believed to have nervine tonic and adaptogenic properties that may help with stress, fatigue, and muscular/nervous weakness, it is critical to understand that their use should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider. They may not be effective for your specific condition, and it’s essential to ensure they don’t interact with your prescription medication or cause other complications.

What you should do next:

See a Doctor Immediately: Given the worsening and spreading nature of your pain, you need to see a nearest medical professional right away.

Consult a Specialist: A rheumatologist (for autoimmune and joint diseases) or a neurologist (for nerve-related issues) would be the most appropriate specialists to see. They can perform a thorough examination, order blood tests, and potentially use imaging (like X-rays or an MRI) to get a clear picture of what is causing your pain.

Do Not Self-Medicate: do not try to treat this

In summary, the progression of your pain from your wrist to your leg is a significant symptom that should not be ignored. It points toward a systemic or complex neurological issue that needs a professional diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan. Please seek nearest medical help as soon as possible.

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Hello Shabbir, I can understand your pain. From your description, it looks like your back pain is radiating down to the leg and foot, which usually happens when the sciatic nerve gets compressed

Since you are only 26, it is important to take proper care now, so the pain does not become chronic

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL REMEDIES

1 Ashwagandharishta 30ml-0-30ml after food – good for nerve strength & Vata balance (you are already taking).

2 Yograj Guggulu 1-0-1 after food – strengthens joints, muscles, and nerves.

3 Rasnadi Churna 1 tsp with warm water at bed time – helps in reducing stiffness & nerve pain.

(Continue Safed Musli & Dhatuposhak powder – they help with nourishment and strength.)

✅PANCHAKARMA THERAPIES

❗I will Strongly recommend you to consult nearby Ayurvedic physican for physical examination as well for Panchakrma therapies ❗

AS YOU ARE YOUNG SO ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO PREVENT FURTHER DEGENERATE OR PROGRESSION OF THE PAIN

1 Sarvanga Abhynga with Mahanaryana taila 2 Sarvanga Hot fomentation with Patra Pinda sweda this will reduce the inflammation 3 kati basti - therapy in which warm oil will be retained on your lower back 4 Yoga basti - Enema therpy this will pacify Aggrevated vata and will prevent further degeneration

✅EXTERNAL THERPY WHICH YOU SHOULD DO AT HOME DAILY

👉 Oil Massage (Abhyanga): Warm Mahanarayan Taila and gently massage lower back & legs daily.

👉 Hot Fomentation (Swedana): After massage, apply hot water bag / steam to lower back for 10–15 mins. This relieves stiffness and reduces nerve compression.

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Avoid long sitting – take breaks every 30–40 mins. Posture care: Sit straight, avoid bending forward suddenly, use firm mattress. Mild Yoga & Stretching Sleep: On firm bed, not on soft mattress/sofa.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

Take warm, easily digestible foods – khichdi, soups, dal, roti with ghee. Include milk, almonds, walnuts, sesame, flax seeds – nourish nerves & bones. Use garlic, ginger, turmeric in food – reduce inflammation.

❌ Avoid cold, stale, refrigerated food, excess sour and dry food – they aggravate Vata & worsen pain.

With consistent treatment and lifestyle care, pain relief can be expected in 4–6 weeks.

Panchakarma therapies (Kati Basti, Patra Pinda Sweda, Basti) give excellent results for long-term relief.

With proper treatment, your nerve pain can be reduced and back strength restored.

Wishing you speedy relief and good health! 😊

Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO SHABBIR,

-Your Pain began in the wrist and is now felt in the back, leg, and foot -pain that starts in one place and travels (radiates) often points to nerve involvement. -In modern terms, this could be due to nerve compression, disc bulge, neuropathy, or sciatica -In Ayurveda, this matches with a vata disorder , especially Gridhrasi (sciatica like condition) —vata dosha governs all nerve impulses and movement —when vata is aggravated by stress, irregular food, cold exposure, weakness, injury, or overexertion it dries out tissues, compresses nerves, and causes pain that travels.

So, your pain is not just “in the muscles”- it’s about nerve irritation + vata imbalance

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce pain and nerve irritation- symptom relief -pacify aggravated vata dosha - root cause -rebuild strength of nerves, muscles, and bones -prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =clears channels, relieves pain, strengthens nerves/joints

2) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 25ml + warm water twice daily before meals =anti inflammatory, calms vata, relieves radiating pain

3) MAHARASNADI KASHAYA= 30 ml + warm water twice daily after meals =improves nerve conduction, reduces chronic pain

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =strengthen nerves, reduces stress, acts and rejuvenator

5) Continue DHATUPOSHAK CHURNA= nourishes muscle tissue, prevents weakess

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= with MAHANARAYAN TAILA =lubricates dried nerves, reduces stiffness

2) STEAM THERAPY= after massage, helps muscle relax =relieves stiffness and pain

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -keep yourself warm; avoid exposure to cold wind/ac directly on the back -don’t sit for long hours, take breaks and stretch -avoid lifting heavy weights suddenly -sleep on a firm mattress, not too soft -maintain regular daily routine timely eating and sleeping pacifies vata

DIET -Favour= warm, freshly cooked, slightly oily foods (ghee, sesame oil), milk, rice, wheat, moong dal, soups, stews -Avoid= very dry foods (too much bread, crackers), cold drinks, raw salads , excess caffeine, fast food -add spices like ginger, garlic, turmeric -they help circulation and nerve pain -Hydration= warm water or herbal teas-ginger tea

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana -shalabhasana -setubandhasana -makarasana -avoid forward bending and sudden twisting

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom=balances vata -Bhramari= calms nerves -Gentle deep diaphragmatic breathing

HOME REMEDIES -warm compress on the lower side -turmeric milk at night -castor oil 2 tsp with warm milk once a week-cleanses vata if digestion allows -regular sesame oil massage on back and leg

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Your situation seems to involve complex nerve pain that has progressed from your wrist to affecting your leg, potentially involving some sort of nerve-related issues like sciatica or radiculopathy. Since you’re already using pregabalin and Vitamin B12, it’s crucial to continue under the guidance of your healthcare provider. If you experience severely worsening pain, you must seek immediate professional medical attention.

In Ayurveda, low back pain and associated nerve issues often indicate an imbalance in Vata dosha, particularly if aggravated by factors such as dry, cold, or irregular lifestyle. The current use of ashwagandharisht and dhatuposhtik powder align with Ayurvedic principles for Vata management and dhatu nourishment.

Consider focusing on a Vata-pacifying diet, incorporating warm, nourishing meals like cooked oats, rice with ghee, soups, and stews. Avoid cold and dry foods like raw salads and cold drinks, which could aggravate Vata further. Include spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric while cooking to enhance digestion and soothe Vata. Your digestive fire, or Agni, must be balanced to prevent toxic buildup or Ama that can complicate conditions.

Ashwagandharisht is beneficial for general nerve health and calming Vata dosha but take care with the doses. Consult your Ayurvedic practitioner for precise measurements. Safed musli and dhatusposhtik powder are effective for strengthening tissues, yet consistency is key in obtaining their cumulative effects.

Try gentle exercises like yoga or Tai chi, focusing on postures that support the lower back, such as Bhujangasana (cobra) and Balasana (child’s pose). Meditative practices and pranayamas like Anulom Vilom help reduce stress, a common exacerbator of Vata conditions.

Lastly, consider Ayurvedic treatments like Panchakarma for purification if recommended by an experienced Ayuvedic practitioner. However, remember the crucial role of western medicine in managing nerve-related conditions, ensuring holistic and safe treatment.

To address the issue of low back pain radiating to your leg, we need to consider the whole body, especially the pathways of your nerves and muscle tissues. In Siddha-Ayurveda, such issues often indicate an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which controls movement and the nervous system. First, continue using any medications prescribed by your healthcare provider. Your current use of pregabalin and vitamin B12 suggests that it’s intended to address nerve-related pain and potential deficiencies.

In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, nourishing and calming the Vata can help. You may want to make use of medicated oils like Sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil for gentle massage along the spine and legs. Apply this oil gently to the affected areas once or twice daily, using slow, circular motions that follow the path of the pain. Allow the oil to soak into your skin for about 30 minutes, and then wash it off with warm water. The warmth and substances in the oil can soothe strained tissues and promote circulation.

Dietary modifications can also align with your goals. Focus on warming foods that stabilize Vata: cooked vegetables, whole grains, and oily, warming spices like ginger and turmeric. Avoid cold or raw foods that may disrupt digestion and increase Vata.

Your use of Ashwagandharisht and Safed Musli indicates aiming for muscle strength and vitality, which is supportive. Consider also adding a routine of gentle stretching, especially focusing on the lower back, hip flexors, and hamstrings. Engage in simple movements like yoga poses that do not provoke pain, following a consistent routine every day. Balance remains key; never force through sharp pain.

If these approaches, coupled with your current regimen, don’t lead to improvements, or if the pain intensifies, urgent evaluation by a skilled practitioner is necessary. Addressing nerve-related issues promptly is crucial to avoid worsening conditions.

HELLO SHABIR,

From what you describe-pain that began in the wrist and now radiates to the leg and foot, worsening day by day- this suggests a progressive nerve related issue (neuropathy or radiculopathy). Since it is spreading and becoming severe- it is important to see neurologist or orthopedist urgently for evaluation (MRI spine/nerve conduction study)

AYURVEDIC VIEW -Likely Vata vyadhi (nerve pain, degeneration, radiating pain) -FOCUS= vata pacification, nerve nourishment, strengthening

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) DASHMOOLA KASAHAY = 30 ml twice daily before meals =pain + vata pacification

2) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals =joint/nerve pain

3) ASHWAGANDHA + SHATAVARI + SAFED MUSLI= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily =nerve and muscle nourishment

4) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at night =for nerve calming

You’re already using Ashwagandharishta and musli powder= continue but balance with above

EXTERNALLY

1) OIL MASSAGE daily with Dhanwantaram taila followed by hot water bath

PANCHAKARMA (if pain sever/chronic) -BASTI= main treatment for vata disorder -PATRA PINDA SWEDA= leaf poultice fomentation

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -warm,easily digestible, vata pacifying foods= milk, ghee, soups, cooked vegetables -Avoid= excess dry, cold, spicy, sour foods -Gentle yoga= bhujangasana. makarasana, shalabhasana = avoid forward bending -regular sleep and stress management= pranayam,meditation

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.

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.
