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

Acidity and heartburn, known as Amlapitta in Ayurveda, are primarily caused by an imbalance of the Pitta dosha (the body’s fire and water element). The burning sensation you describe in your chest is a classic symptom of aggravated Pitta. It’s important to understand that Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms, by balancing the doshas through diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies.

It is also important to note that taking a proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole for an extended period (more than 3 years) can have potential side effects, including an increased risk of bone fractures, vitamin B12 and magnesium deficiency, and other issues.

1. Diet (Aahara) The first and most crucial step is to follow a Pitta-pacifying diet. This involves avoiding foods that increase the heat in your body and choosing foods that have a cooling and soothing effect.

Foods to Avoid:

Spicy, Oily, and Fried Foods: These are a major trigger for Pitta aggravation. This includes chili, black pepper, and deep-fried items.

Sour and Fermented Foods: Limit intake of curd (yogurt), buttermilk, vinegar, and fermented items like dosa and idli.

Acidic Fruits and Vegetables: Avoid citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruit), tomatoes, and raw onions.

Other Triggers: Stay away from coffee, tea, alcohol, and carbonated beverages. Also, avoid excessive consumption of garlic.

Difficult-to-Digest Foods: Legumes and grains like chickpeas and rajma can be difficult to digest for some people with Amlapitta.

Foods to Include:

Sweet, Bitter, and Astringent Tastes: These tastes help to pacify Pitta.

Cooling Foods: Incorporate foods with a cooling veerya (potency) such as:

Vegetables: Cucumber, pumpkin, bottle gourd (lauki), carrots, green beans, and leafy greens. Lightly cooked or steamed vegetables are easier to digest than raw ones.

Fruits: Amla (Indian gooseberry), papaya, ripe bananas, melons, and apples.

Grains: Rice, oats, and barley.

Dairy: Ghee (in moderation), cold milk, and fresh, homemade paneer.

Spices: Use cooling spices like fennel seeds (saunf), cumin (jeera), coriander, and cardamom.

2. Lifestyle (Vihara) Ayurveda emphasizes that lifestyle habits play a significant role in managing health conditions.

Mindful Eating: Eat in a relaxed and calm environment. Chew your food thoroughly and avoid eating on the go.

Proper Meal Timings: Do not skip meals. Eat your main meal when your digestive fire (agni) is strongest, which is typically in the afternoon. Eat a light dinner and avoid eating within 2-3 hours of bedtime.

Avoid Lying Down After Meals: Stay upright for at least an hour after eating to prevent acid from refluxing into the esophagus.

Manage Stress: Stress is a major contributor to Pitta imbalance. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation and Pranayama (breathing exercises) such as Sheetali and Bhramari.

3. Ayurvedic Home Remedies (Aushadha) These remedies use common kitchen ingredients and can provide relief from symptoms.

Coconut Water: Drink fresh, tender coconut water. Its alkalizing effect helps to neutralize stomach acid.

Fennel Seeds (Saunf): Chewing a teaspoon of fennel seeds after meals can aid digestion and reduce heartburn.

Ginger: A small piece of ginger can be chewed or added to tea. It helps with digestion and reduces inflammation.

Basil Leaves (Tulsi): Chewing a few tulsi leaves can soothe the stomach lining and reduce acidity.

Cumin-Coriander-Fennel (CCF) Tea: Boil equal parts of cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds in water. Strain and sip this tea throughout the day. It’s a classic Pitta-pacifying drink.

Cold Milk: A glass of cold milk can provide instant relief from the burning sensation due to its calcium content and cooling nature.

Treatment 1) Kamdugha 250 mg - before food 3 times with ghee

2) Avipattikara churna- 3 gm before food with milk 3 times

3) bhunimbadi kashaya 20 ml - before food 3 times

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 SANTOSH,

WHAT IS HAPPENING? -In Ayurveda, your problem is close to Amlapitta (acidic disorder) -Because of irregular digestion (Agni mandya) and pitta aggravation, excessive sour digestive juices are formed -These move upward-> causing burning in chest and throat, acid reflux, bitter taste, nausea -Ama (toxic undigested food) from previous infection/medicines worsens it

TREATMENT GOALS 1) AMA PACHANA= burn/remove residual ama (toxic undigested food) 2) PITTA SHAMANA= balance excess acidity and heat 3) STROTOSHODHANA= clear channels, reduce upward movement of acid 4) AGNI DEEPANA= strengthen digestion without increasing acidity 5) RASA DHATU POSHAN= restore lining of stomach, throat, and oesophagus 6) PREVENTION= long-term lifestyle and diet to stop recurrence

PHASE 1= AMA PACHANA (DIGESTIVE TOXIN REMOVAL) WHY?= antibiotics + weak digestion-> ama accumulation-> worsening acidity Goal= remove toxins, make digestion clean

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with ghee before meals =improves digestion, reduces bloating

-SHUNTHI CHURNA= with honey = little dose, if no burning

-GUDUCHI DECOCTION = 30 ml balances both ama and pitta

HOME REMEDIES -warm water sipping throughout the day -jeera-ajwain-saunf boiled water -avoid milk and heavy foods at this stage

DURATION= 7-10 days till heaviness, indigestion reduces

PHASE 2= PITTA SHAMAN (ACIDITY CONTROL AND COOLING) WHY?= once ama reduces , we cool and protect stomach + throat

-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before meals =reduces acidity, cleans stomach

-KAMDUDHA RASA (mukta yukta)= 1 tab twice daily with ghee/milk =soothes burning, heals

-YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with lukewarm milk =protects stomach lining, heals throat

-AMALAKI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm in morning empty stomach =cooling, vitamin c, tissue repair

DURATION= 4-6 weeks after phase 1

PHASE 3= RASAYANA (rejuvination and strengthening) WHY?= to rebuild mucosal lining and prevent recurrence

-AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily with honey

-SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with warm milk in morning =strengthens digestion, cooling, balances pitta

-TRIPHALA WITH GHEE AT NIGHT= 1 tsp maintains digestion + bowel regulation

DURATION= 2-3 months for long term balance

DIET -old rice, wheat, oats, barley -moong dal, green gram soup -ash gourd, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, cucumber, pumpkin -sweet fruits= apple, pomegranate, banana (ripe, not raw), melon -ghee in small amounts , milk (lukewarm, not chilled), coconut water -spices= coriander, cumin, fennel, cardamom

AVOID -very spicy, sour, fried, junk food -excess tea, coffee, aerated drinks, alcohol -curd, pickles, vinegar, tomato in excess -long fasting, overeating , late night meals

LIFESTYLE -Eat at fixed times, chew well -Do not sleep immediately after eating (wait 2-3 hrs) -walk slowly after meals -stress is a big trigger-> practice meditation or deep breathing

YOGA ASANA -vajrasana after meals -pawanmuktasana= gas relief -ardha matsyendrasana= improves digestion -Avoid strong backbends they worsen reflux

PRANAYAM -Sheetali and sheetkari= cooling pranayam -nadi sodhana= balances doshas -avoid kapalbhati initially

HOME REMEDIES -jeera-dhaniya-saunf water daily -cold milk with little ghee= instant relief in burning -Aloe vea juice 2 tsp on empty stomach- mucosal healing -coconut water= best natural pitta pacifier

-Your condition is Amlapitta due to pitta aggravation + weak digestion -Ayurveda aims to first clear toxins (ama), then cool pita, then strengthen digestion and mucosal lining -Treatment is long term and stepwise not just short acid suppresion

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Heartburn and acidity can be stubborn, often pointing to an imbalance in your pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism. Addressing this from an Ayurvedic perspective involves several practical steps you can take. First, focus on your diet, because it plays a massive role in managing acidity. Avoid spicy, fried, and very sour foods, as these can aggravate pitta. Embrace cooling, alkaline forming foods instead, like cucumbers and gourds. Cook vegetables well since raw ones can be tough on weak digestion. Incorporate grains like rice and oats, which tends to be gentle on your stomach.

Consider herbs such as Amla (Indian Gooseberry), known for its cooling properties. You may take it in powdered form, about half a teaspoon mixed with warm water, once or twice a day. Another helpful herb is Licorice, known for soothing the mucosa lining; it can be taken as a decoction or powder under guidance of Ayurveda practitioner.

Hydration is crucial, yet be cautious about drinking too much water with meals as it can dilute digestive juices—sip on cool water instead throughout the day. Try to have meals at regular times to support your digestive fire and avoid late-night eating. Meditation or gentle breathing exercises can also help calms stress, which is often a trigger for acidity.

If pain persists or worsens, it’s advised to consult a healthcare professional, as chronic acidity can lead to more serious conditions without proper management. Ayurvedic methods take time and consistency, so patience and adherence are key. Engage with an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized guidance based on your unique constitution for safe and progressive healing.

Acidity and heartburn often relate to an imbalance in the pitta dosha, affecting your digestive fire (agni). Eating vegetables shouldn’t cause difficulty, but when the digestion is impaired, they might be perceived as hard to digest. The frequent use of pantaprazole indicates a chronic issue that might benefit from deeper Ayurvedic interventions. Here’s a recommended approach:

1. Diet Modifications: Prioritize a diet that’s less aggravating to your pitta. Avoid spicy, oily, and sour foods which can increase acidity. Instead, focus on cooling foods such as cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Vegetables should be cooked rather than raw, as they are easier to digest.

2. Jeera-Coriander Tea: Begin your day with a warm tea made from cumin (jeera) and coriander seeds. Simply boil a teaspoon of each in two cups of water, reduce it to a cup and drink it on an empty stomach. This helps balance pitta and improve digestion.

3. Herbal Remedies: Ayurvedic herbs like Amla (Indian gooseberry) and Licorice root can be soothing. Amla is cooling and can be taken as a fresh juice, powder, or capsule form. Licorice powder can be mixed with water and consumed post-meals. Always check interactions with your current medication first.

4. Lifestyle Adjustments: Small, frequent meals are preferable to large ones. Try eating at regular intervals and avoid lying down immediately after meals. Engage in moderate, daily physical activity suited to your condition.

If severe symptoms persist, seek evaluation by a healthcare professional. Your prescription medication condition might require ongoing allopathic support, so coordinate any Ayurvedic remedies with your existing treatment. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for further personalized advice, as individual constitution must always be considered in treatment plans.

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.

I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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. 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.

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. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

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

Dr. 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. 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. 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. 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.
