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

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Manjula
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.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. 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.
