Doctors’ responses

hello ojasvi ,

From what you shared, your irregular cycles, long delays (35–40 days), very little bleeding but severe pain, and skin breakouts all point to a hormonal imbalance with weak digestion and circulation. Since you are only 22, this can be corrected naturally with proper medicines and routine. Still, it should not be ignored because irregular cycles and scanty flow can affect your long-term reproductive health.

Your history of PSVT (fast heartbeats) means we should choose medicines that are safe and gentle, without over-stimulating effects.

Treatment plan

Ama Pachana (first 5 days if you feel heaviness, bloating, gas) Hingvastaka churna – 1 pinch with warm water before meals, twice daily.

Internal Medicines (for 2–3 months)

Kumaryasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (regulates cycles and hormones). Rajahpravartini Vati – 1 tablet at night after dinner for 1 month (to correct scanty flow and painful periods). Avipattikara churna – 1 teaspoon at night with warm water (relieves constipation, acidity, and helps skin).

External Support Apply castor oil pack on the lower abdomen during pain (lukewarm castor oil on cloth, keep for 10–15 min). It reduces cramps naturally.

Food & Routine Take warm water, add ghee in food daily. Avoid curd, cold drinks, and bakery items. Include sesame seeds, jaggery, soaked raisins, papaya.

Investigations (to confirm cause) Thyroid profile Pelvic ultrasound Hemoglobin, Vitamin D, B12

This will help balance hormones, reduce pain, clear skin, and regulate your cycles gradually.

warm regards, Dr.karthika

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.

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

Dr. Arshad Mohammad
I am working in the ayurvedic field since like 3 years now and honestly still feel like there's always more to learn, even after handling so many different kind of cases in both OPD and IPD settings. That mix of outdoor and indoor care changed the way I understand patients—like, not just quick consults but full-on long term treatments where u really gotta observe body patterns, reactions, progress... or even no progress, which is tricky. Sometimes even when the textbook says one thing, patients show something else entirely n you gotta adapt. I deal with a mix of things—digestive issues, skin problems, mild joint pain stuff, lifestyle triggers—and each case kinda adds a new layer to my approach. Working closely with both acute and chronic patients taught me how much small details matter, like even diet timing or mental state can flip how someone respond to a herb. It’s not about formulas—u gotta watch, tweak, rewatch. I do spend time explaining what the treatment plan actually means. Like not just “take this churnam 2 times daily” but *why* it fits their prakruti or condition. That makes ppl stick to it better, I feel. Also yeah, I’ve worked in setups where it was just me managing the flow—making clinical calls, followups, keeping records, sometimes even basic panchakarma guidance when support was limited. That kinda multitasking helped build real confidence, not the paper type but actual “you’re responsible here” type. And it shows me that patient trust comes not from using big words but from clear answers n slow steady improvements they can *feel.* Not everything works fast. But if u observe closely, listen well, and don’t rush—ayurveda does work.

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.

HELLO OJASVI,

This means -Your uterus is shedding less lining (endometrium) than before -this often happens when hormonal balance shifts- especially estrogen and progesterone levels

From an Ayurvedic point of view, this is Artava kshaya (reduced menstrual flow) and mild Ritu vyapad (cycle disturbance)

MAIN IMBALANCE -Vata (irregular timing, pain without proper flow) -Pitta (heat, early ovulation symptoms) -Rakta dhatu kshaya(less blood tissue nourishment)

TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata and pitta so your cycle comes on time and without pain -nourish rakta dhatu so the uterine lining builds up properly-> healthy flow -strengthen the uterus and ovaries for better ovulation and hormone rhythm -relieve pain naturally without harming hormones -prevent long-term issues like infertility, PCOS, or endometrial weakness

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SHATAVARI GRANULES= 1 tsp with warm milk in morning and night for 3 months =improves fertility, nourishes female reproductive tissues, balances pitta and vata

2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals for 3 months =strenghtens uterus, regulates cycles, reduces pain

3) LODHRA CHURNA= 3 gm with honey in morning for 3 months =balances pitta, improves endometrial health

4) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 40 ml with water twice daily before meals for 3 months =relieves pelvic pain, balances vata

5) PHAL GHRITA = 1 tsp in warm milk morning for 3 months =nourishes uterus, supports ovulation

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE= warm sesame oil massage over whole body =balances vata, improves circulation to uterus

LIFESTYLE CHANGE

SLEEP= 10 pm to 6 am, avoid late nights (vata-pitta calming)

STRESS= avoid overthinking, mental strain, and emotional overload

EXERCISE= gentle yoga, no over exercising during periods

HYDRATION= warm water or herbal teas (ginger, fennel). Avoid iced drinks

AVOID= skipping meals, excessive fasting, very spicy/fried/junk food, and too much coffee/tea

YOGA ASANA -baddha konasana= opens pelvis, improves blood flow -supta baddha konasana= relaxes uterus -setu bandhasana= tones pelvic organs -viparita karani= improves circulationn, calms mind

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones -bhramari= relieve stress, calms pitta -sheetali= balances heat

DIET -warm milk with ghee + a pinch of turmeric -black sesame seeds + jaggery (rich in iron and calcium) -dates, pomegranates, figs= blood nourishing -moong dal khichdi with ghee easy to digest, nourishing -fresh vegetables, especially beets and carrots improves blood

AVOID -very spicy, sour, fermented foods - pitta aggravation -cold,raw, stale foods- vata aggravation -excess coffee, cola, alcohol- hormone disruptors

HOME REMEDIES -Sesame seed + jaggery laddoo= 1 daily in winter, improves menstrual flow -Fenugreek seed tea= soothes cramps, improves digestion -Warm castor oil pack on lower abdomen before periods- relieve pain, increases blood flow

INVESTIGATION ADVISED -thyroid profile -serum prolactin -day 2- 3 FSH, LH, Estradiol - serum progesterone (day 21 if 28 days cycle ) -pelvic ultrasound- check ovaries, endometrial thickness -cbc, ferritin- check for anemia

Your condition is not dangerous right now, but its a signal your body’s hormonal rhythm is slightly off

-If we address it now with Ayurvedic nourishment. + lifestyle discipline, your cycles can return to healthy flow in few months -If ignored for long, it can progress into irregular ovulation, infertility, or endometrial weakness -Be patient= the uterus and hormones need at least 3-6 cycles to fully reset

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Irregular menstrual cycles, coinciding with acne breakouts and painful periods can be indicative of hormonal imbalance, and from an Ayurvedic perspective, it’s important to consider the potential dosha imbalances and dietary/lifestyle factors involved. The symptoms you’re describing may suggest an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas.

First, let’s focus on dietary recommendations that can help balance Vata and Pitta. It might be beneficial to include more warming, unctuous, and easily digestible foods like cooked vegetables, grains like rice, and soupy lentils. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods which can aggravate Vata. Similarly, limit spicy, oily, and fried food as these can exacerbate Pitta imbalance.

Incorporating herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari could be helpful, as these are known for supporting reproductive health and balancing hormones. Ashwagandha can help soothe Vata, while Shatavari is particularly nourishing for maintaining regular menstrual functions. A typical dosage might be around 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of each powder mixed with warm milk, taken at bedtime. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements.

Lifestyle modifications plays a role as well. Ensuring regular sleep patterns and adequate rest is vital. Practicing Yoga and meditation, particularly poses like Supta Baddha Konasana and seated forward folds, may help in reducing menstrual pain by improving the flow and calming the mind.

Additionally, Triphala is often recommended to support digestive health, which plays a significant role in any imbalance. A small dosage (around 1/4 teaspoon) with warm water before bed may aid in regularizing bowel movements and detoxification.

While these measures can support your journey towards balance, it’s important to find underlying causes, and a consultation with a healthcare expert is wise. Seeking an integrative approach with your healthcare provider can ensure a comprehensive evaluation. Be mindful that if your symptoms significantly worsen or if you feel unwell, seeking urgent medical advice is necessary.

Irregular menstrual cycles, less bleeding, and severe pain can indicate an imbalance of doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta in this case. This might also show some disturbance in the reproductive tissues, or Artava dhatu, alongside some hormonal imbalance. We’ll focus on harmonizing these through dietary, lifestyle, and herbal suggestions rooted in the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition.

First, dietary considerations are vital. Incorporate warm, nourishing foods like whole grains (such as brown rice and quinoa), cooked vegetables, and warming spices like turmeric and ginger. Avoid cold foods, raw vegetables, and excessive caffeine, as they can aggravate Vata. Adding a teaspoon of jeera (cumin) seeds in your hot meals can aid digestion and help balance Vata.

Lifestyle changes play a significant role. Establish a regular routine to calm Vata dosha. Aim to sleep and wake up at the same time daily, ensuring at least 7 hours of restful sleep. Gentle yoga, focusing on postures such as Uttanasana (Forward Bend) and Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose), can be beneficial for this condition. Practicing Pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing), can help create balance and reduce stress.

Herbal remedies should be considered too. Shatavari, known for its strength in supporting the female reproductive system, can be taken as a powder mixed with warm milk daily. Additionally, Ashwagandha can help manage stress and support balance in your hormones. A paste of cinnamon and honey taken with warm water can also help regulate menstrual flow.

Keep an eye on the symptoms and consult a healthcare provider if irregularities or pain persist. If your condition worsens or you feel anything severe, immediate medical consultation is essential. Balancing these factors can take time, but integrating these elements into your daily life can lead to a more harmonious menstrual cycle.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

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

Dr. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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. 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. Anupriya
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.
