HELLO BHUMI,

WHAT IS IT= polycystic ovarien syndrome (pcos) means your ovaries produce extra androgens and dont release eggs regularly

WHY IT MATTERS= This affects your periods, causes weight gain especially around tummy, hair issues hairfall or excess hair face, and makes weight loss harder even If you try

AYURVEDA’S VIEW= PCOS is often seen as a mix of Kapha imbalance (sluggish metabolism, weight gain, cysts formation) and Vata disturbance (irregular periods, hormonal imbalance). digestion and metabolism (agni) become weak, which creates “ama” (toxin like waste ) that blocks channels

TREATMENT GOALS -balance hormones and improve menstrual regularity -reduce insulin resistance and support weight management -cleanse metabolic channels -prevent long term complication -improve quality of life- energy , skin, hair, and emotional balance

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =mild detoc, improves bowel movement, reduce toxins

2) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =traditionally used for cysts, glandular swelling, excess kapha

3) TRIPHALA GUGUGLU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =helps in fat metabolism, reduces weight

4) SHATAVRI KALPA= 1 tsp with warm milk/water in morning =ssupports female hormones and reproductive system

5) ASHOK BARK DECOCTION= 15ml twice daily =useful for irregular or painful periods

-METHI SEEDS = 1 tsp soaked overnight, chew in morning =improves insulin sensitivity, balances blood sugar

DURATION= minimum 3 months, since pcos is chronic condition and needs steady management

We aim to balance vata, mildly reduce kapha(fat), and support (digestion, metabolism)

EFFECTIVE EXERCISES focus on combining cardio, strength, and core exercises.

CARDIO(daily for 30-45 mins) -Brisk walking/jogging - cycling -jump rope - dancing or aerobics these help burn fat all over, including the belly.

CORE- TARGETED WORKOUTS(3-5 TIMES/WEEK) -plank = 3 sets of 30-60 sec - Russian twists= 3 sets of 20 reps - Leg raises -Mountainclimbers -Suryanamskar= 8 rounds daily

YOGA ASANAS

STRENGTH AND CORE (fat burn + muscle building) -Suryanamskar = 10 rounds -Plank (1 min* 3) -bhujangasana-for back pain -setu bandhasana -navasana -utkatasana

FLEXIBILITY AND RECOVERY -Trikonasana, vrikshasana -ardha matsyendrasana -balasana

PRANAYAM(10 min total) -kapalbhati= 3 rounds for fat metabolism -bhastrika- 3 rounds -Anulom Vilom- 5 min -bhramari- 2 mins

DETOX PLAN EVERY 6 MONTHS PANCHAKARMA(under ayurvedic practitioner at clinic setup) -Virechana= liver detox, fat metabolism -basti = best for vata, back Pain relief, deep detox -abhyanga + swedana= toxin elimination, skin glow, flexibility -Nasya= clears sinuses, improves oxygenation

EXERCISE ROUTINE MON= strength (upper body + core) TUE= HIIT (15 min) + Yoga WED= strength (lower body) THU= walk(45 mins)+ mobility FRI= full body+core training SAT= long walk/light jog+yoga stretching SUN= rest+pranayam+self massage

This diet is kapha reducing, which means it helps reduce excess body fat, improves metabolism, and minimise water retention and heaviness- especially around belly.

1) GRAINS(choose light, low glycemic) -old rice, barley, millets- bajra, ragi, jowar, quinoa, whole wheat

AVOID= white rice, maida, processed breads or bakery items, heavy or sticky grains like oats

2) PULSES AND LEGUMES -moong dal= easy to digest , light -massor dal -hoarse gram= very good for reducing fat(kulthi) -chickpeas- chana roasted or boiled

AVOID= rajma, chole, urad dal- they are heavy and produce gas if digestion is weak, overcooked or creamy dals

3) VEGETABLES -leafy grreen= spinach, methi, coriander, curry leaves -lauki, tinda, karela, pumpkin -cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, carrot, beans -drumsticks, snake gourd - radish-especially good for belly fat

AVOID= potato, sweet potato , arbi, -tomatoes in excess -excess onion garlic at night

COOKING- steam or light saute vegetables with mustard seeds, cumin, ginger, and turmeric in minimal oil

4) FRUITS -apples, pear -papaya= excellent for digestion -pomegranate -guava, watermelon= take in morning only -seasonal berries -amla- raw or juice

AVOID= banana, mangoes, grapes, chikos, any fruits after sunset, fruit juices= high sugar

5) DAIRY PRODUCTS -buttermilk=diluted curd, churned, spiced with roasted cumin,ajwain - low fat curd- only in daytime - cow’s milk-if needed boiled with turmeric or ginger

AVOID= cold milk, panner, cheese, khoya, full cream milk, curd at night

6) FATS AND OILS -cows ghee- small quantity, helps in fat metabolism -cold pressed mustard oiler sesame oil

AVOID -refined oils, deep fired food

7) SPICES AND HERBS these helps stimulate digestion, improves metabolism and reduce bloating -ginger, cumin, ajwain, black pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, asafoetida

use these in cooking or as herbal teas- cumin-fennel-coriander decoction after meals

8) BEVERAGES -warm water throughout the day - herbal teas -jeera water

AVOID= cold water, aerated drinks, packaged fruit juices, sweet lassi or milkshakes

9) SNACKS-light dry and non sugary - roasted makahna, roasted chana, dry fruits in moderation -chia seed water -sprouts= moong, chana with lemon, no salt

AVOID -buiscuits, chips, namkeen, bakery items, sugar bars or energy drinks

HOW TO EAT -eat only when hungry- no emotional or boredom eating - eat in calm, mindful environment - avoid overeating, even healthy foods - use warm, cooked meals, over raw/cold food -obseve mitahara- balanced, moderate, quantity of food - intermittent fasting- 14-16 hours overnight is safe and recommended

DAILY ROUTINE

5:30 AM= wake up , this will align body clock, energy boost

5:45 AM= oil puling with sesame oil (10 min), oral detox, skin and gum health

6:00 AM= triphala 1 tsp with warm water, gut cleansing, liver detox, skin

6:30 AM= Abhyanga (warm sesame oil massage-15 min), relieves back pain, tones muscles, detox

7:00 AM= bath with lukewarm water, vata pacification

7:30 AM= light yoga and pranayam, endurance , strength, flexibility

8:00 AM= breakfast(protein rich, warm), muscle gain, metabolism

1:00 PM= heaviest meal(lunch), improves digestion, nutrient absorption

4:00 PM= herbal tea+light snack(seeds/makhana), keeps metabolism active

6:30 PM= early light dinner, fat burn, easy digestion

9:00 PM= foot massage, sleep, detox nervous system

9:30 PM= sleep, muscle recovery, anti aging

PCOS is not something that “gets cured overnight”. It’s a condition of imbalance that needs steady, gentle correction. Ayurvedic medications, yoga, food discipline, and stress management. weight loss may be slower but the real goal is to balance hormones, regularize periods, and prevent long term risks

Think of it as a journey where every small consistent step- whether walking, taking herbal tea or practicing yoga- adds up. Your body is young and adaptive at 18. So with patience, the chances of recovery are very strong

MONITOR WEIGHT EVERY 2 WEEKS TRACK DIGESTION AND ENERGY LEVELS STAY HYDRATED

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

I understand your concern In PCOS weight doesn’t respond quickly to calorie deficit alone because hormones and metabolism play bigger role at your height and weight, insulin resistance is usually the main trigger. Focus more on balancing hormones rather than just cutting calories. Take warm food. Avoid cold oil and sugary items and eat on time daily yoga with Surya Namaskar, kapalabhati and bridge walk is more effective than only walking Triphala churna 0-0-1 tsp at night with warm water Take - Kanchanar guggulu 1-0-1 Medohara vati 1-0-1 Consistency, proper sleep, and stress control are equally important

My Dear,

I know you’re feeling upset that even after walking and dieting, your weight hasn’t changed much. With PCOS, this is very common your body resists at first because of hormones and metabolism. But listen carefully: weight loss does not usually show up as a drastic drop on the weighing scale in the beginning.

First, your body will start losing inches your clothes will feel looser, your tummy less bloated, and your face clearer. Only after fat reduces gradually, the weight will start showing on the scale.

This takes time, so don’t lose hope in between. Think about why you started not just for weight, but for your health, periods, skin, and future.

Medicines can help, but they are secondary. The real key is your routine, diet, exercise, and patience. I want you to follow one week very strictly no skipping, no giving up. After that, you can ask me personally, and I’ll prepare a full detailed diet and workout plan only for you. If you follow for 3–6 months consistently, you will be amazed with your results.

Ama Pachana (first 2–3 weeks)

Trikatu churna – ½ tsp with honey after lunch once daily. Hingvastaka churna – ½ tsp with warm water before food, twice daily.

Internal medicines (2–3 months, then review) Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water, twice daily before food. Kumaryasava – 15 ml with equal water, after lunch and dinner. Chandraprabha Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food. Shatavari churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at night.

External therapy (if possible) Udvartana (herbal powder massage with Kolakulathadi churna) once a week to improve metabolism and reduce fat deposits.

Investigations Hormones: LH, FSH, Prolactin, AMH, Testosterone. Thyroid profile. Fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR. Lipid profile. Vitamin D, Vitamin B12. Ultrasound pelvis.

Daily lifestyle + food chart :

Morning (6:30–7:00 am)

Wake up early. Drink 1 glass of warm water with a few soaked fenugreek seeds or lemon water. 15–20 min of light stretching or yoga (Surya Namaskar, breathing exercises).

Breakfast (7:30–8:00 am before college) 2 boiled eggs or a small bowl of upma/poha with vegetables. Or oats with milk and nuts. Avoid packaged cereals or bread daily.

College time (9–5) Carry a water bottle (drink at least 2–2.5 L). Mid-morning snack (11 am): 1 fruit like apple/guava or a handful of almonds.

Lunch (1 pm in college): 1–2 chapati or a small portion of rice + dal + sabji + curd. (Keep portions balanced, don’t skip carbs fully.)

Evening snack (4–5 pm): roasted chana, sprouts chaat, or buttermilk.

Evening (after college, around 6 pm) Go for brisk walking, cycling, or a beginner cardio workout (20–30 min).

Start small — 3–4 days a week. Once stamina builds, increase gradually.

Dinner (7:30–8:00 pm)

Light dinner: vegetable soup + 1 chapati, or grilled paneer/boiled dal with sabji.

Avoid heavy rice at night. Bedtime (10–10:30 pm) No mobile late at night. Warm turmeric milk or just plain warm water before bed.

Lifestyle :

Sleep 7–8 hours daily. Lack of sleep worsens PCOS and weight gain. Manage stress — journaling, music, or meditation for 10 minutes helps. Avoid junk, cold drinks, excess sugar, and fried foods — they worsen hormones. Include protein in every meal (dal, paneer, egg, sprouts, nuts).

very important : Don’t weigh yourself daily, check only once in 2 weeks. Celebrate small wins even more energy, clear skin, or better periods are signs your body is improving.

This is a journey, not a race. At 18, your focus should be on building strength and balance, not chasing the weighing scale daily. Stick to this honestly, and your body will reward you slowly but surely.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Considering your efforts with caloric deficit and walking, it sounds like you’ve already made some positive steps toward managing weight. However, the presence of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) can complicate weight management due to hormonal imbalances. PCOS often results in higher levels of androgens and insulin resistance, which might hinder weight loss efforts. In the realm of Ayurveda, this condition is understood as a result of Kapha and Vata dosha imbalances, and addressing these can help.

First, let’s focus on digestion, which is seen as the cornerstone of health in Ayurveda. Ensure your agni, or digestive fire, is strong. Sip on warm water throughout the day — this aids in digestion and helps in maintaining body metabolism. Before meals, you might try a simple trikatu (a combination of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) churna (powder), taking a quarter teaspoon with warm water. This aids in stimulating digestion and metabolizing accumulated toxins (ama).

In terms of diet, aim to include foods that balance Kapha and Vata. Incorporate more warm, light, and dry foods. Think of roasted vegetables, warm soups, and whole grains like barley and quinoa. Avoid heavy, cold, and dense foods such as dairy, red meat, and fried foods, which can exacerbate Kapha.

Lifestyle adjustments are equally important. Regular, gentle exercise like yoga or brisk walking is beneficial, especially in the morning or late afternoon. Ensure you’re getting adequate sleep at regular times as this helps balance hormones. Stress management is vital, as stress can trigger cortisol release, leading to weight gain. Practices like Pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation can be highly effective.

Specific to PCOS, the herb Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus) can be beneficial. It is known to help balance hormones and improve fertility. You might consider Shatavari supplements but consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new regimen.

While Ayurveda can offer support, it’s essential to coordinate with your healthcare provider, as managing PCOS may require a multifaceted approach, including medical intervention. If you experience more severe symptoms or significant health changes, professional medical advice is crucial.

Reducing body inflation can be complex, especially with PCOS involved. In Siddha-Ayurveda, an imbalance in the doshas, especially kapha and pitta, could be contributing to your challenges with weight. Addressing these imbalances can be critical.

First, let’s focus on your diet. Beyond calorie deficit, it’s important to consider the quality of food. Incorporate more bitter and astringent tastes found in leafy greens, which can help balance pitta and kapha. Favor foods that are light, dry, and warm. Avoid processed and fried foods, excess sugar, and dairy that can aggravate kapha. Instead, opt for whole grains like quinoa and amaranth.

Spices play a vital role in this process as well. Use turmeric, ginger, cumin, and coriander in cooking as they help kindle agni (metabolic fire) and improve digestion. Taking 1/4 teaspoon of trikatu powder with honey before meals can support metabolism.

Daily exercise is important, but it need not be excessive. Walks are beneficial, yet incorporating some yoga or pranayama (breathing exercises) can support your hormonal balance, especially for PCOS. These can include surya namaskar (sun salutations) and kapalbhati pranayama.

Hydration is critical. Warm herbal teas made with fennel and cinnamon can be soothing and help with bloating. Drink warm water throughout the day to aid digestion.

Finally, managing stress is important, as stress can exacerbate PCOS symptoms. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, which can balance the mind and body interface.

These approaches, rooted in Siddha-Ayurvedic traditions, can offer more holistic support for your journey. However, consult with a healthcare provider for guidance tailored to your unique needs and because PCOS can have complexity requiring more direct involvement.

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.

2) DIET -prefer light, warm, easily digestible food -moong dal, vegetable soups, millets -avoid curd at night, fried food, refined sugar, cold drinks, bakery items -take early dinner by 7:30-8 pm

3) LIFESTYLE -walk briskly after meals -daily yoga= Suryanamaskar= 12 rounds, kapalbhati , bhastrika -Maintain regular sleep no late nights

4) HERBAL SUPPORT

-Triphala churna= 1 tsp at night with warm water for digestion and detox

-Medohara guggulu= 2 tabs twice daily after meals

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. 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.

I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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. 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. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. 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. 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. 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.
