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 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. 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. 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. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every 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.

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. 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.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

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