Dr. Khushboo
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.

Please visit nearest Ayurvedic practitioner so they would perform a detailed diagnosis based on your unique body type (Prakriti) and the nature of your symptoms to identify the root cause of your problems

Is Virechana for Me? Virechana is one of the five primary Panchakarma therapies. It is a controlled, therapeutic purgation that is specifically aimed at eliminating excess Pitta dosha from the body, particularly from the liver and gallbladder.

Virechana is suitable for you if you have conditions associated with Pitta imbalance, such as:

Gallbladder stones

Fatty liver

Chronic digestive issues like hyperacidity and gastritis

Skin disorders like acne, eczema, or psoriasis

PCOS (as it often involves a Pitta component)

Chronic fevers or inflammation

How to know if it’s right for you:

The only way to determine if Virechana is suitable for you is to consult with a nearest qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. They will assess your individual constitution (Prakriti) and the nature of your imbalance (Vikriti) through a thorough diagnosis. They will also consider any contraindications, such as severe dehydration, pregnancy, or old age. The practitioner will guide you through the entire process, which includes a preparatory phase (Purva Karma) and a post-therapy regimen (Samsarjana Karma), to ensure the treatment is safe and effective.

hello Anuja ,

Thank you for sharing everything so clearly. Let me explain simply.

You have a few issues together gallbladder stones, fatty liver grade 1, PCOS, and abdominal pain. These show that your digestion and metabolism are not working at their best, and your body is storing more toxins (ama) and fat than it should. In Ayurveda, when agni (digestive fire) is weak, liver and gallbladder suffer first, periods get disturbed (PCOS), and slowly fat metabolism slows down. A detox like Virechana (purgation) is very helpful in such conditions because it cleans the liver, gallbladder, and intestines deeply. But it should only be done after proper Deepana Pachana (boosting digestion and clearing ama) and under supervision.

You can know Virechana suits you .,

You have good strength (not too weak or underweight). Your digestion is not severely poor (no severe constipation/diarrhea daily).

No active infection, fever, or uncontrolled illness is present. A vaidya will usually prepare your body (snehapana and swedana) and only then give virechana. Done properly, it can benefit gallstones, fatty liver, skin, PCOS, and detox together.

Ama Pachana (first 10–14 days) Hingvastaka Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily. Trikatu Churna – ½ tsp with honey after lunch, once daily.

Internal Medicines (2–3 months) Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water, twice daily before food (for gallstones and PCOS). Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food (for fatty liver and metabolism). Kumaryasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (for PCOS and periods). Punarnavadi Mandura – 1 tablet twice daily after food (for liver and swelling).

External support Abdominal massage with warm castor oil twice a week. Hot fomentation on abdomen for pain relief.

Lifestyle & Diet

Take warm water through the day. Avoid fried, oily, junk, red meat, and too much dairy. Eat more vegetables, gourds, green leaves, and seasonal fruits. Include turmeric, ginger, cumin, and garlic in cooking. Walk 30 min daily, avoid sitting too long. Sleep well and keep stress low (direct link to PCOS and liver).

Investigations

Liver function test (LFT). Lipid profile. Hormonal profile (LH, FSH, AMH, Testosterone, Prolactin). Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis (follow-up for stones and fatty liver). Fasting blood sugar and insulin.

My advice: Virechana can suit you, but only after proper preparation.

Please don’t attempt it at home. Start with these simple medicines and diet first, and once digestion improves, then Panchakarma like Virechana can be safely planned for you.

Warm regards,

Dr. Karthika

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 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.

HELLO ANUJA,

1) GALL BALDDER STONES -Stones form when bile (a digestive juice) becomes thick, sticky, and crystallises. -Ayurveda= linked to excess pitta (heat, bile) mixing with kapha (mucus, heaviness)

2) FATTY LIVER (GRADE 1) -Early stage= fat deposits in the liver cells, but no major damage yet -Ayurveda= reflects a sluggish agni(digestive fire), leading to ama (toxic build up)

3) PCOS -Ovarian cysts, irregular cycles, weight gain, hormonal imbalance -Ayurveda= imbalance of kapha (heaviness, cysts) and vata (irregular cycles, hormones)

4) ABDOMINAL PAIN (LEFT SIDE) -Could be colon (constipation/gas), spleen or even kidney. Needs confirmation by imaging

TREATMENT GOALS -GALLSTONES= prevent further growth, reduce inflammation, encourage bile flow, avoid emergency surgery -FATTY LIVER= melt fat deposits, improve metabolism, strengthen liver function -PCOS= clear cystic tendencies, balance hormones, restore regular ovulation -OVERALL= detox channels, rekindle digestion, regulate metabolism, balance vata-pitta-kapha

INTERNAL TREATMENT

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night =mild bowel cleansing, removes ama

2) BHUMYAMALAKI CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after meals =liver specific herbs, reduces fatty deposits

3) PUNARNAVA + GOKSHURA DECOCTION= 50 ml twice daily after meals =supports kidney and fluid balance

4) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =breaks cysts/tumors, useful in PCOS

5) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily with warm water =classic for liver + gallbladder disorders, regulates pitta

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= with medicated oils like dhanwantaram taila = improves circulation, reduces heaviness

2) BASTI (medicated enema) in later stage= balances vata, helps in pcos and digestion

3) LEPA (Herbal paste)- rasnadi churna + castor oil warm paste applied over abdomen to reduce pain/inflammation

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Routine= early to bed, early to rise. keep digestion regular -Hydration= warm water throughout day. Avoid ice-cold drinks -Exercise= 30-40 mins brisk walk or light yoga daily

DIET -green leafy veggies- spinach, methi, coriander -gourds- lauki, tori, karela -barley, millet, red rice -light pulses - mung dal, massor -warm spices- jeera, ajwain, turmeric

AVOID -oily, fried, cheese, panner -excess jaggery, sugar, sweets -red meat, egg yolk -cold drinks, packaged foods, bakery items

ASANAS -Bhujangasna= stimulates liver and ovaries -Dhanurasana= gallbladder and digestion -Setubandhasana= hormonal balance -Trikonasana= reduces abdominal congestion

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances hormones -Kapalbhati= improves liver and metabolism -Bhramari= calms stress, balances vata

HOME REMEDIES -warm water with lemon + 1/2 tsp turmeric every morning -1 tsp aloe vera juice + 1 tsp amla juice daily for liver support -fenugreek seeds soaked overnight- eat in morning for pcos -coriander seed water soaked overnight, drink next day for gallbladder and liver

FINALLY -Virechana may help, but it’s not the first step- you need proper deepan-pachan (digestive correction) and snehana (oil prep) before. -With gallstones, aggressive purgation without supervision can trigger severe pain- so supervised care is non- negotiable -GOOD NEWS= fatty liver grade 1 and PCOS can be reversed with lifestyle and medications. Stones can be managed conservatively if small and not obstructing -Ayurveda’s goal for you- reset digestion, detoxify liver-gallbladder, dissolve ama, balance hormnoes, prevent further complications

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

First of all you need to consult with panchakarma specialist. First you need to perform vaman therapy as it will decrease your kapha dushti so the virechana will have more effect. Dr Akshay negi MD PANCHAKARMA

Considering the multiple concerns you’ve mentioned, it’s important to understand that Ayurveda believes in a holistic approach, targeting the root causes rather than just symptoms. Virechana, a form of Panchakarma, primarily focuses on detoxifying the liver and improving the overall function of the digestive system, which can be helpful in cases like yours. However, it’s crucial to undergo a detailed assessment by an Ayurvedic practitioner to determine if Virechana is right for you, considering your specific body constitution and imbalances.

For gallbladder stones, Ayurveda suggests managing Pitta accumulation and improving bile flow. Incorporating warm, easy-to-digest foods, such as cooked vegetables, whole grains, and avoiding oily and spicy foods could benefit. Regular intake of turmeric, which has anti-inflammatory properties, might also be helpful, yet consulting a healthcare provider before making dietary changes is advisable.

In the case of fatty liver, focus on enhancing liver function through a Kapha-pacifying diet. Consume light, warm meals with ingredients like ginger, and engage in regular physical activity to help metabolize fats properly. PCOS requires balancing hormones and supporting reproductive health, hence incorporating herbs like Ashoka or Shatavari under professional guidance could be beneficial.

For pain in left abdomen, an accurate diagnosis is essential. Meanwhile, you may try gentle yoga practices such as twisting postures, which can improve digestion and reduce discomfort — again, being cautious considering any underlying conditions.

A personalized kidney detox might involve herbal supplements like Gokshura or Punarnava, which support urinary health. Before starting any detox, ensure it aligns well with your constitution and current health status.

Clearly, a professional Ayurvedic assessment is vital to determine the suitability of Virechana in your case, based on prakriti (constitution) and vikriti (imbalance). Safety and efficacy are our priorities, therefore medical supervision is recommended.

To determine if Virechana is suitable, you should consider a few key elements related to your specific health conditions. Virechana, a purification method targeting the Pitta dosha, can benefit various issues if administered correctly, but it must be tailored to individual needs.

With gallbladder stones, liver, kidney concerns, and PCOS, there’s a complex interplay of doshas—likely an imbalance of Pitta and Kapha. Without detailed evaluation, Virechana might provide relief but could also aggravate if not suitable for your current Prakriti and Vikruti (current imbalance). You should first visit an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can accurately diagnose your situation before considering Virechana; it’s not advisable to self-medicate in such cases.

Virechana involves preparatory steps like snehana (internal and external oleation) and swedana (sudation therapy), followed by the therapeutic purgation itself. The diet leading up to the procedure needs to be light and easy to digest. It’s essential to ensure that your body is adequately prepared for these stages, and the process is supervised.

For supporting detoxification without a full Virechana procedure, incorporating dietary and lifestyle changes can be beneficial. Focus on consuming a diet rich in fiber, lean proteins, and avoid heavy, spicy, or oily foods which aggravate Pitta and Kapha. Regular exercise and consistent routine in sleep and meal times support overall detox.

If symptoms are severe, or you experience acute abdominal pain, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention to avoid complications, as some aspects may require urgent care beyond Ayurveda. Always integrate Ayurvedic approaches with primary healthcare advice to ensure comprehensive safety and wellbeing.

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

Dr. Shilpa Shijil
I am still learning how to describe myself without sounding too stiff, but I do feel that my personal and inter-personal skills shape a big part of how I work. I try to stay approachable and not make pts feel rushed, even on days when time is slipping fast. I listen first, maybe longer than needed sometimes, just to catch the small hints in their words or their silence. I end up absorbing a bit of their pain or worry too, and then I remind myself to stay focused so I can actually help them, not just feel it. I am seeing people as whole beings, not just their symptoms or test values, and that keeps my treatment more grounded. I explain things in simple ways, though I get tangled in my phrasing here and there, but I make sure they and their family know what we’re doing and why. I try to stay honest even when the truth is slow progess or a rough patch in the condition. I am pretty dedicated to ethical practice, sometimes to the point where I double-check a simple step, and I don’t mind spending extra time if it means the plan is right. I push myself to keep learning, reading, attending discussions, all without getting scared of criticism, though a harsh comment stings me for a bit. I enjoy public interaction too—talking to groups, answering doubts, explaining Ayurveda without overcomplicating it. I am still shaping these skills every day, but they guide me in giving care that feels human, steady and trustworthy, even on the messy days when I am juggling too many things at once.

Dr. Sumit Tasgaonkar
I am Dr. Sumit S. Tasgaonkar — a BAMS doc who also went on to complete MS in Ayurveda surgery, along with CGO and PGDEMS. Kinda feels like I’m always learning. And maybe that’s what keeps me grounded — balancing classical Ayurvedic wisdom with real-time medical emergencies or even modern diagnostic tools. I don’t see these systems as opposites... for me, they compliment each other when you look closely enough. My work mostly revolves around chronic diseases, metabolic issues, lifestyle mess (and there’s plenty of it these days), and women’s health conditions — PCOS, hormonal imbalance, gynec stuff that needs long-term attention. I use Panchakarma, herbal meds, diet correction, sometimes just shifting someone’s daily habits does more than we expect. But it’s never one-size-fits-all. I take a lot of time getting to the root cause — dosha imbalance, agni disturbance, whatever is underneath the visible stuff. Patients dealing with arthritis, stress, skin flareups, digestion trouble — I’ve seen all of that and more. And every case teaches something new. I’m super keen on tracking progress too. Like we keep tweaking, adjusting as per prakriti and vikriti, not just protocol-for-all. And honestly, the most satisfying part? when patients tell me they feel like themselves again. I started Tasgaonkar Medical Foundation with a big dream of bringing authentic Ayurveda to more people, esp. rural areas where choices are limited. We still keep prices fair and try not to compromise on classical principles. Accessibility doesn’t mean diluting the science — that’s always been important to me. What I really want is to see more people actually understand their health. Not just pop pills or mask symptoms. I wanna give them the tools — through knowledge, through food, through breath — to live lighter and healthier. And ya, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes you doubt, sometimes you adjust everything mid-plan... but that's Ayurveda too. Listening, observing, and flowing with the body, not against it.

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. 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. 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. Janvi Dhera
I am a doctor who completed CCH and CGO from Wadia hospital, and that training gave me exposure not just in theory but also in handling patients with very diverse needs. Over time I have treated many cases of chronic skin conditions, gut related disorders and also anorectal issues like piles, fissure and similar complaints. Each case felt different, no two patients respond the same way, and I learnt how to adapt treatment according to prakriti, diet habits, stress levels. Skin problems always catch attention first — psoriasis, eczema, acne that stays for years — but I understood that they often start from inside, from digestion or blood impurities. Gut issues like acidity, constipation, IBS are also common in my practice, and here small corrections in food timing or herbs can change a lot. Anorectal cases, especially piles and fissure, are painful both physically and mentally for patients, so I try to bring a treatment plan that is safe, non-invasive when possible, and focused on long term relief not just temporary fixes. Working with such variety of disorders also taught me patience. Some patients want fast results, but Ayurveda needs time to clean the root cause. I explain them carefully, sometimes repeating many times, that slow healing is stronger healing. Building that trust is important. My approach is always to combine herbal formulations, diet advice, and lifestyle correction with procedures when required, to ensure balance is restored and maintained. For me, Ayurveda is not a set of ready remedies but a flexible science that adapts to each person. Whether it’s skin, gut or anorectal problems, my focus stays on listening, understanding and guiding patients with clarity, honesty and steady support.

Dr. Shreya Tavhare
I am a pediatrician working in Ayurveda since the last 8+ yrs. I did my masters in Kaumarbhritya (Ayurvedic pediatrics & neonatology) from MUHS Nasik, and honestly, that whole phase of study made me look at child health in a very diff way. I mean, kids are not just smaller adults... their agni, doshas, immunity (ojas) – all work diff and change super fast. And if we catch imbalances early, we can prevent sooo much future disease. That’s what keeps me drawn to this field again n again. I’ve been treating conditions like recurrent cough, digestive issues, low weight, delayed milestones, worm infestations, even stuff like hyperactive behaviour n sleep trouble. Some kids get better quickly, others need time n small course corrections. I like to work close with parents — answer all the “why’s” they bring, explain every step if I can. Sometimes they ask the same q’s multiple times, but I get it... they’re worried. I would be too. My core focus stays around strengthening immunity, gut health, and supporting proper development — both physical n mental. I use classical herbs, lehan, swarna prashan, and yes... lot of diet tweaking, too. I don’t believe in rushing or blindly copying textbook plans. Each child reacts diff. Ayurveda teaches you that if you listen well. I also work in rural setups sometimes, and tbh, the satisfaction there is just... something else. Fewer resources, more trust, more responsibility. Keeps me grounded. This work’s not flashy, but it’s real. And if the baby smiles, eats, sleeps, and the parents start sleeping again too... I know we’re on the right path.

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.
