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.

HELLO NANDINI,

Nidana (Ayurvedic causes) Pitta aggravation → pigmentation, gall stones, greying of hair. Vata aggravation → joint pain, dryness, body ache, flakiness of skin. Kapha stagnation → dark pigmentation in neck/axilla, slow metabolism.

Pathya (Diet & Lifestyle) Diet: Warm, freshly cooked, light-to-digest food. Add green leafy vegetables, amla, aloe vera juice, turmeric, sesame, black sesame seeds, curry leaves. Exclude fried, spicy, fermented, excess tea/coffee, chemical foods.

Lifestyle: Regular oil massage (abhyanga) with kshirabala oil or sesame oil. Proper sleep prior to 11 pm. Light yoga & pranayama (especially anulom-vilom, kapalabhati for metabolism, vajrasana post-meals).

Chikitsa (Management) **For Pigmentation & Skin -Manjishta + Sariva + Neem powder – ½ tsp each, with warm water once a day. -External: Use Kumkumadi taila at night or aloe vera gel in daytime.

For Hair Fall & Greying -Bhringraj churna (½ tsp with warm water, at bedtime). -Daily scalp massage with Bhringraj taila or Neelibhringadi taila. -Use amla (fresh or powder) once a day.

For Gallstones -Punarnava + Gokshura + Triphala decoction (mild cleansing, nourishes liver & gallbladder). -Kutki churna (¼ tsp with meals, in honey/warm water).

For Joint & Body Pain -Dashmool kwath (½ cup twice daily). -External: Warm oil application + hot water fomentation.

For Overall Balance -Triphala at night (½–1 tsp in warm water). -Panchakarma (if available) → Virechana and Abhyanga-Swedana will serve deep.

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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.

Hello Nandini ji, The condition of hair and skin are indicators of our overall health. Changes in hair texture, appearance, or growth rate, as well as skin’s color, texture, and presence of rashes or lesions, can reflect underlying health issues. So, internal medicine and external treatment both are needed. Treatment - 1. Neem ghanvati 1-0-1 after meal 2. Mahamanjisthadi kwath 30ml with 30 ml water twice a day after meal 3. Amalaki rasayan+ Black sesame seed powder - 1 tsp with water twice a day before meal 4. Rogan Badam oil -2-2 drops in each nostril either in the morning empty stomach or at bedtime. 5. Apply Aloe vera gel after cleaning the face with rosewater 6. Apply kumkumadi tel on face before bedtime 7. For hair growth - Castor oil mixed with coconut oil- Apply on the hair and massage gently.Use twice a week.

Follow these - 1. Adequate amount of water 2. Eat antioxidant rich food like amla, beans, green tea, spinach etc 3. Clean your towel and pillowcase every week 4. Avoid using makeup or some chemical product especially before sleeping. 5. Boil 1 spoon of triphla powder in 2 glasses of water,let it cool then use this for hairwash once a week. 6. Stress management -Through meditation, walking, journaling etc.

Yoga - 1. Anulom vilom 2. Sheetali 3. Sheetkari 4. Adhomukhashavasan 5. Uttanasan Follow this treatment plan and you will see the difference. Review after 1 month. Regards, Dr. Anupriya

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.

Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp. Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry.

The symptoms you’re describing could be linked to an imbalance in your doshas, particularly an aggravated Pitta dosha. Hyperpigmentation, such as darkening of the neck, underarms, and elbows, often reflects excess Pitta, manifesting as discoloration and heat in those areas. Bile stones and excessive hair fall may also point towards Pitta imbalance.

First, addressing your diet is essential. Focus on cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods. Incorporate foods like cucumber, coconut water, melons, and aloe vera juice. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods, as they can exacerbate the condition. Drinking a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar before meals can help improve digestion.

For hair fall, a gentle scalp massage with bhringraj or coconut oil mixed with a few drops of rosemary essential oil can improve circulation and strengthen the roots. Do this twice a week. Stay clear of harsh chemicals in hair dyes; consider natural henna as an alternative if covering grey hairs is important.

For skin health, use natural cleansers like besan (gram flour) mixed with milk or rose water to cleanse the affected areas on your neck and face. Applying a paste of turmeric and sandalwood with a splash of milk on dry, flaky skin can soothe and heal over time.

Considering your knee pain, gentle yoga stretches can provide relief and improve circulation. Add turmeric and ginger to your meals for their anti-inflammatory properties. Check your seating posture; prolonged sitting or poor posture also contribute to joint pain.

Due to complexity of your symtoms, consider visiting an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized approach. Persistent or severe conditions, such as visible stones, warrant immediate medical evaluation to rule out any severe complications. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.

HELLO NANDINI,

From your symptoms -pigmentation in skin folds- neck, underarm, elbow -hairfall during shower and combing -premature greying -dry, flaky facial skin -body pains at night, knee pain, finger stiffness -gall stones - bile stone

In Ayurveda, this suggests mainly Pitta imbalance (heat, bile, metabolism disturbance) along with vata imbalance (dryness, hairloss, joint pains)

-PITTA controls color, digestion, liver-bile function. when aggravated-> pigmentation, gallstones, skin issues, early greying

-VATA controls movement, dryness, nerves. When aggravated-> hairfall , body pain at night, flaky skin

-KAPHA may play a small role in skin fold pigmentation due to sluggish metabolism

so, your condition is Pitta-vata dominant with rakta (blood) and asthi (bone, hair) dhatu involvement

TREATMENT GOALS -Correct pitta-> for pigmentation, liver, gallstone, premature greying -balance vata-> for dryness, body pain, hairfall -purify rakta dhatus -> for skin discoloration, flaking -nourish asthi dhatu-> for hair and joints -prevent recurrence-> by improving digestion, metabolism, and lifestyle

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =cleanses liver, corrects bile disorders, reduces pigmentation, helpful in gallstones

2)TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =gentle detox, improves digestion, reduces skin problems, prevents constipation

3) MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 500mg twice daily after meals for 3 months =blood purifier, reduces dark pigmentation, clears skin

4) BHRINGARAJ CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily with warm water for 3 months =hair tonic, prevents hairfall, delays greying, supports liver

5) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 25ml + equal water twice daily before meals for 2 months =reduces vata, relieves body pain, nourishes joints

6) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily with ghee =for skin healing, anti-inflammatory

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

FOR PIGMENTATION -Apply fresh aloe vera gel + a pinch of turmeric daily -Manjistha + sandalwood + honey paste once weekly on affected areas

FOR HAIR -oil massage with Neelibringadi taila twice a week (warm oil ) -Avoid chemical dyes-> use Heena + amla + indigo herbal mix for colouring

FOR DRY FACE -Apply Kumkumadi Taila 2-3 drops at night, massage gently -Or simple organic coconut oil if skin is very dry.

DIET -ghee small amounts daily -milk with a little turmeric at night -fresh fruits pomegranate, apple, papaya, black grapes -vegetables like bottle gourd, pumpkin, ash gourd, leafy greens -soaked almonds, raisins, dates -whole grains like old rice, barley, wheat -moong dal , green gram

AVOID -very spicy, oily, fried food -sour foods- vinegar, pickles, excess tomatoes -tea, coffee in excess -chemical dyes, junk food, packaged snacks

HOME REMEDIES -Amla juice 10-15ml in morning-> for hair and skin -coriander seed water-> soak overnight, drink in morning for pitta balance -Fenugreek seed water-> strengthens hair and digestion

LIFESTYLE -sleep early , wake early -avoid late nights- increases vata-pitta -gentle oil massage once weekly with sesame/coconut oil

YOGA -shashankasana= calming -bhujangasana= improves digestion, liver -vajrasana after meals= helps digestion -setu bandhasana= for joints and circulation

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances vata pitta -sheetali/sheetkari= cooling, reduces heat/pitta -bhramari= calming for stress, supports hair health

INVESTIGATIONS -LIVER FUNCTION TEST= since gallstones and pigmentation linked to liver -LIPID PROFILE= gallstones linked to cholestrol -VITAMIN D and CALCIUM= for knee/joint pain -THYROID PROFILE= as thyroid issues can cause pigmentation + hairfall -CBC -> to check anemia, which can worsen hairfall

Your symptoms are a combination of lifestyle-related metabolic imbalance leading to gall stones, skin and hair issues, and body pain

Ayurveda focuses not just on temporary relief, but on root cause correction -cleaning liver and blood -nourishing hair and skin -reducing pain and dryness -correcting lifestyle

If you follow internal medicines 3 months, external care, proper diet, and stress management you should gradually notice -lightening of pigmentation -reduced hairfall -better skin tecture -relief from joint/body pains -improved digestion and energy

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

The symptoms you’re describing seem to indicate an imbalance in your doshas, primarily pitta and vata doshas. The pigmentation issues, as well as the bile stones, suggest excess pitta, whereas hair fall and joint pain often points towards vata imbalance. Addressing these imbalances requires a comprehensive approach.

For pigmentation and bile stones, it is advisable to follow a diet that pacifies pitta. Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods which can aggravate pitta. Incorporate cooling foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and coconut water. A blend of herbs like Amalaki (Indian gooseberry), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), and Neem can help in detoxifying the body. You could consider a teaspoon of triphala powder mixed with warm water at bedtime to aid digestion and detoxification process.

To deal with hair fall, improving your scalp health is key. Oil your scalp once or twice a week with Brahmi and Bhringraj oil. Eating foods rich in iron, healthy fats and vitamin C, such as almonds, sesame seeds, and amla can help nourish the hair. A gentle head massage before shower can stimulate scalp circulation and reduce hair fall.

Knee pain and the body’s tendency to ache at night could be alleviated by practicing calming yoga stretches before bedtime. It can help balance vata and keep joints supple. Rasna powder boiled in water can be taken once a day to reduce joint pain. Also, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and keeping warm during cold nights is useful.

Your dry flaky skin on the face could be improved by reestablishing moisture. Applying a gentle herbal face pack using aloe vera and pinch of turmeric twice a week can soothe and hydrate. Avoid chemical-laden skin products which may aggravate the infection.

If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an ayurveda practitioner and consider having blood tests done to rule out deeper underlying conditions. Immediate medical consultation is wise for any sudden, unexplained changes or pain.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

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

Dr. 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. 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. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

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. 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.

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. 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. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.
