Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
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 SAMIRA,

Medical Point of View Spontaneous healing: Varicoceles rarely resolve spontaneously without treatment.

Treatment of choice: If pain is bothersome or causes fertility issues, a urologist might advise surgery (varicocelectomy) or an outpatient procedure (embolization).

Palliative care: Supportive interventions can alleviate discomfort even if the veins persist.

Ayurvedic Management Ayurveda views varicocele as a Vata-Pitta imbalance on Shukra dhatu (tissue of reproduction) and Rakta vaha srotas (blood channels). Reducing inflammation, venous tone, and improving circulation are the objectives.

1. Lifestyle & Diet Avoid long standing, heavy lifting, and constipation. Eat light, easily digestible food — warm, cooked food, avoid too much spicy/oily/junk food. Lukewarm water, herbal tea intake. Normal sleep pattern, stress reduction (yoga, pranayama).

2. Herbal Support -Ashwagandha churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at night stress reduction, tissue strengthening.

-Gokshura guggulu –2 tabs twice daily enhances urinary/reproductive health.

-Punarnava mandoor– 1 tab twice daily maintains circulation and checks swelling.

-Arjuna churna –1 tsp in morning with water tones up blood vessels and enhances circulation.

3. Local Remedies -Mild abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil or dhanvantaram taila in the groin/thigh region (not over the testicles) to enhance circulation. -Use of supportive undergarments to relax scrotal strain. -Warm sitz baths with triphala decoction from time to time for relaxation.

4. Panchakarma (if pain is not resolving) Basti (medicated enema) for Vata pacification. Raktamokshana (bloodletting/leech therapy) is occasionally applied by experts in chronic cases to alleviate congestion.

When to Seek Medical Care Severe or chronic pain Rapidly swelling scrotum Concerns about fertility Sudden agonizing pain (may be testicular torsion — an emergency)

THANK YOU

HELLO SAMIRA,

Varicocele means enlarged and twisted veins in the scrotum (like varicose veins in the legs). These veins normally cary blood away from the testicles, but when their valves are weak, blood collects inside, leading to swelling, heaviness, pain, and sometimes fertility issues. -It is more common in the left side , but can affect both -pain usually increases with standing long, heavy work, heat, stress, or even trauma (like being hit accidentally) -Ayurveda considers this as “Siraj granthi/siraj vruddhi”- a disorder of vata and Pitta dosha affecting blood channels

TREATMENT GOALS -relieve pain and heaviness in the testicles -improve blood circulation and reduce venous congestion -strengthen venous walls and reproductive tissues -reduce inflammation and heat in scrotal area -balance vata and Pitta dosha for long term stability -support fertility and sexual health

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ARJUNA KSHEERAPAKA= 40 ml twice daily (Arjuna bark boiled in milk reduce to half) =strengthens veins and heart circulation

2) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 500mg twice daily after meals =reduces inflammation and supports venous drainage

3) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =supports urinary-reproductive system, relieves congestion

4) PUNARNAVADI KASHAYA= 15ml with warm water twice daily before meals =drains excess fluid, reduces swelling

5) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =reduces stress, strengthens reproductive tissues

DURATION= 3-6 months

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE- gentle massage of lower abdomen, groin and thighs with MAHANARAYAN TAILA daily before bath

2) SITZ BATH= sitting in lukewarm water with Triphala decoction or nee leaves for 15 mins. 3-4 times/week

3) HERBAL PASTE= paste of sandalwood, lodhra, yashtimadhu applied on scrotal area to reduce burning/heaviness

DIET -Favour light, cooling, easily digestible foods -rice, barley, wheat, green gram, pumpkin, bottle gourd, cucumber, coconut water, pomegranate, amla -Include ghee and milk- nourish reproductive tissues

AVOID -very spicy, oily, fried food -red meat, alcohol, excess coffee/tea -constipation- causing foods- reduce cheese, bakery items

-Drink lukewarm water , avoid very hot or very cold foods

LIFESTYLE

DO’S -wear supportive cotton underwear like scrotal support to reduce pulling pain -take regular breaks if standing/sitting long -manage stress with meditation, pranayam -ensure proper sleep

AVOID -heavy lifting, straining, or gym workouts that increase abdominal pressure -prolonged hot showers, saunas (heat worsens veins) -tight jeans/underwear that compress circulation

YOGA ASANAS -viparita karani -supta baddha konasana -pawanmuktasana -sarvangasana

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom -Shetali/shetkari -Bhramari- reduces stress

HOME REMEDIES -Cold compress= not ice directly, but a cloth dipped in cool water) to scrotal area when pain increases -Coriander seed water- soak overnight, drink in morning for cooling effect -Amla juice + honey daily for anti inflammatory and rejuvenating effect -Triphala powder- 1 tsp at night for keeping bowels clean

-Varicocele is not dangerous, but it can cause pain, heaviness, and sometimes infertility if ignored -Ayurveda offers safe, long term management by improving circulation, strengthening veins, and balancing doshas -severe cases may require surgical correction but Ayurveda can still support recovery and prevent recurrence -with proper diet, lifestyle, medicines and yoga , pain and swelling can be well controlled and fertility preserved

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Varicocele, or varicose veins in the testicles, can be quite uncomfortable and may worsen with stress or accidental hits. In Ayurveda, this condition often reflects an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and pressure in the body. One practical step towards addressing this concerns is to strengthen the circulatory system and balance Vata.

First, consider introducing him to Ashwagandha, a well-known adaptogenic herb that can help reduce stress levels and improve blood circulation. He should take about 500 mg of Ashwagandha powder mixed with warm water, once daily, preferably in the evening. It might take some time, but it enhances the body’s ability to cope with stress, indirectly helping in easing pressure in the testicular veins.

Diet also plays a crucial role. Encourage him to consume warm, nourishing foods like soups, stews, and root vegetables, which can help pacify Vata. It’s essential to avoid overly spicy, caffeinated or processed foods; these may aggravate his condition further. Adding a pinch of turmeric to his meals can act as a natural anti-inflammatory.

For direct management, gentle oil massage using sesame oil on the lower abdomen and thighs can promote circulation. He can do this massage 3 to 4 times a week. A warm sitz bath or applying a warm compress on the affected area for 10 - 15 minutes a day may also relieve discomfort.

Yoga asanas like Viparita Karani (Legs Up The Wall Pose) and Pawanmuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose) can improve blood flow in the pelvic region. Practice these regularly but avoid any exercises causing strain or discomfort in that area.

However, varicocele can cause serious complications if not treated correctely, and its best to seek medical advice if he’s experiencing severe pain or fertility concerns. Ayurvedic remedies can complement medical treatment but should not replace consultations with a healthcare professional.

The presence of varicose veins on the testicles, also known as varicocele, requires careful attention as it can affect health and comfort. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, this condition may be associated with an imbalance in the vata dosha, contributing to the vein’s dilation and discomfort.

First, it could be beneficial for your husband to engage in practices that alleviate vata imbalance. Regular application of warm sesame oil massage over the lower abdomen and upper thighs can help to increase circulation and reduce tension. Sesame oil is known for its warming and vata-pacifying properties. He should do this once daily, ideally in the morning, followed by a warm shower.

Incorporating specific dietary adjustments can also aid in balancing vata and improving overall vascular health. Encourage a diet rich in fiber and deeply-colored fruits and vegetables that are antioxidants, like berries and leafy greens. Consuming warming spices like ginger and turmeric in cooking can support digestion and enhance agni, or digestive fire, which plays a vital role in maintaining healthy tissue and circulation.

Another aspect to consider is the inclusion of specific herbs that can be helpful. Ashwagandha and Guggulu have traditionally been used for strengthening blood vessels and improving circulation. A consultation with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended for personalized dosage and usage.

For immediate pain relief when discomfort occurs, gentle application of a warm compress on the lower abdomen may soothe and relieve tension. Yet, it is crucial to note that if the pain persists or worsens, or if there are signs such as significant swelling, fever, or nausea, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is essential to rule out any serious underlying issues.

Finally, avoiding excessive physical stress and not overexerting oneself in activities that strain the lower body can help manage the condition, reducing the occurrence of pain and future complications.

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 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. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

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

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

Dr. 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. Vijayalaxmi Teradahalli
I am an Ayurvedic physician with clinical experience in both integrative setups and more focused specialty roles—which honestly gave me a pretty wide-angle view of how Ayurveda fits into modern patient care. I worked as the Clinic Head at Madhavbaug in Bangalore, where I wasn’t just doing OPD rounds—I was planning full treatment flows, coordinating team work, following up lab trends, and helping ppl navigate chronic issues like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and early-stage cardiac concerns. That job made me think way more about how Ayurveda can support preventive cardiology, not just wait for something to go wrong. Then came a whole different space—my time as duty doctor at a maternal hospital. It was intense, but super valuable. I worked closely with mothers through their antenatal and postnatal phases, and learned how to weave Ayurvedic support into that space without overloading the system. Like, knowing when to use a herbal decoction vs when just timing a meal better might shift the outcome. There were also moments where I had to adjust protocols based on what was happening in real time—not everything follows the textbook. Across both places, one thing stayed common—I focused hard on root-cause thinking. Not just patching up numbers or covering symptoms. I try to build care that lasts beyond that one consult. Whether it’s tweaking an oil to match a dosha shift, or helping someone actually follow a sleep routine without making them feel guilty for missing it... I believe real care is flexible, but still rooted in the classics. I use Panchakarma selectively—like Virechana or Basti when truly called for—and combine that with solid dietary advice, patient-led journaling, and mind-body awareness. I don't force rigid changes. I work with the patient's rhythm. That way it sticks better. For me, it’s not just about prescribing herbs or quoting sutras. It’s about building trust, helping people reconnect with their bodies, and using Ayurveda in a way that fits their life—not in a way that overwhelms it. That’s the kind of work I’m trying to build, one step at a time.

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. 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.
