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

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.

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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
