Sadvaidya Bhumyamalaki Churna - #31821

Daniel

I am feeling really overwhelmed lately. A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with some mild digestive issues — bloating, occasional cramps, and irregularity. This stuff kinda came outta nowhere, right after I started a new job that’s got me super stressed. A friend suggested I try this herbal thing called Sadvaidya Bhumyamalaki Churna. He swears by it for gut health and detox, says it did wonders for him. I looked it up and found a lot of promising info but also some mixed reviews, and I dunno what to believe. Like, will it actually help with my digestive issues? And how does it work? I’m wondering if it will mix okay with my other supplements, I take vitamin D and some magnesium for stress. Also, I read it has some properties for liver health, is that true too? Anyone here tried Sadvaidya Bhumyamalaki Churna for digestion? Did it really work for you? I’m kinda anxious about adding something new into the mix, especially with how sensitive my belly is right now. Just looking for some real experiences before I dive in! Thanks, guys!

humyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri) is a revered herb in Ayurveda, known for its: - Liver-protective (hepatoprotective) properties - Digestive fire stimulation (Deepana) - Cooling and detoxifying effects, especially for Pitta-related issues like bloating, acidity, and inflammation

Bhumyamalaki may help by: - Cooling excess Pitta (which flares under stress) - Stimulating sluggish Agni (digestive fire) without being harsh - Supporting liver function, which is often compromised during emotional stress

Things to Consider Before Starting 1. Sensitive Belly? Start Low - Begin with ¼ tsp once daily after meals with warm water - Observe for 3–5 days before increasing to ½–1 tsp twice daily - Avoid taking it on an empty stomach initially 2. Interactions with Vitamin D & Magnesium - No known direct interactions - But since Bhumyamalaki is cooling and mildly diuretic, monitor hydration and bowel regularity - Continue magnesium at night for stress relief—it complements Bhumyamalaki’s calming effect 3. Duration & Monitoring - Use for 2–6 weeks, then reassess - Track symptoms like bloating, stool consistency, and mood - If you notice dryness or fatigue, reduce dose or switch to a gentler liver tonic like Guduchi or Shatavari

I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

HELLO DANIEL,

What is Bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri) A traditional Ayurvedic herb used to support the liver, aid detoxification, and aid digestion. Usually prescribed for jaundice, slow digestion, or overall “pitta imbalance.” Marketed as powders (churna), capsules, or extracts.

What the research indicates

Liver protection: Clinical trials demonstrate it improves liver fibrosis in fatty liver disease, raises antioxidant levels, and promotes healing in mild alcoholic hepatitis.

Gastric protection: Animal research indicates it protects the lining of the stomach and diminishes inflammation.

Antioxidant effects: Decreases oxidative stress, which could potentially be beneficial to both gut and liver health.

Less well-proven benefits Direct benefit to bloating, cramps, and irregularity in humans is not well researched. Most evidence is indirect — through improved liver function, decreased inflammation, or enhanced gastric lining well-being.

Dosage and action may also depend on whether it’s in the form of raw powder, churna, or standardized extract.

How it may benefit your digestive symptoms May decrease inflammation in the lining of the gut and cramps. By enhancing liver function, it may aid bile flow and fat digestion and thus decrease bloating. Appetite and rhythm of digestion may improve according to some people. But — if your issues are more stress-related (IBS, food sensitivities), you’ll likely need additional lifestyle and dietary support too.

Safety and interactions Generally considered safe in recommended doses. Studies lasting weeks to a year didn’t show major side effects. Vitamin D and magnesium: No known negative interactions. In fact, since Bhumyamalaki supports the liver, it may even help nutrient metabolism. Potential mild side effects in sensitive individuals: loose stools, increased frequency, or original gastrointestinal upset. Ensure that you purchase from a good source to prevent contamination with heavy metals. Be cautious if you have liver disease

Common dosages Traditional churna use: 2–4 g (½–1 teaspoon) once or twice a day with warm water. Clinical trials: approximately 1–3 g daily standardized extracts, variable by condition.

Daily experiences Some find relief from bloating, easier digestion, and better regularity, particularly with a plain diet. Others experience no significant improvement or benefit at best. A few get temporary stomach discomfort if they begin with a dose that is too high.

Practical recommendations should you wish to experiment Begin low — perhaps ½ teaspoon once a day after meals. Monitor your symptoms for 3–6 weeks (bloating, cramps, stool changes, energy). Include stress management (breathing, sleep, light exercise) as part of your plan — as stress obviously set off your symptoms. In the event of worsening or ongoing problems, discontinue and consult a professional. Ideally, have a liver function test prior to starting if you are planning to take it in the long term.

Bhumyamalaki is relatively safe, with actual evidence for liver and antioxidant support, and some potential for gastrointestinal benefits. It may help your bloating and irregularity, but don’t anticipate a miracle solution. Pair it with reducing stress and eating an antigut diet for the most hope of improvement.

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

HELLO DANIEL,

1.Bhumyamalaki can help manage acidity by reducing gastric acid production and protecting the stomach lining. This may help with some of your cramping and discomfort.

2.The herb is believed to stimulate agni (digestive fire), which can lead to better digestion and metabolism. This may help relieve feelings of bloating and heaviness.

3. The churna has a laxative effect, which can improve bowel movements and address irregularity. However, this also means that a high dose can cause diarrhea.

4. The herb contains anti-inflammatory compounds that could help soothe inflammation in the digestive tract.

DOES IT SUPPORT LIVER HEALTH? Yes, Bhumyamalaki is most famous for its hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) properties. It is used to help with liver detoxification and improve overall function. Given the strong link between stress and digestive health, supporting your liver can have a positive domino effect on your entire system.

MIXING WITH OTHER SUPPLEMENTS (VITAMIN D AND MAGNESIUM) Interactions between herbal supplements and vitamin/mineral supplements are not always well-documented.

There are no widely reported interactions between Bhumyamalaki and vitamin D or magnesium, but this does not mean none exist.

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS Overconsumption of Bhumyamalaki can cause digestive upset like diarrhea, so combining it with magnesium, which also has a laxative effect, could potentially increase this risk.

EXPERIENCES AND SAFETY CONCERNS As with most herbal and natural supplements, reviews vary. Some users report great results for digestion and detoxification, while others see no effect. Individual body constitution and the root cause of the issue can significantly impact outcomes.

TAKE CARE😊

KIND REGARDS, Dr.Isha Ashok Bhardwaj.

Sadvaidya Bhumyamalaki Churna, a renowned herbal preparation in Ayurveda, could indeed offer benefits for your digestive concerns, especially given your recent stress-induced discomfort. Bhumyamalaki, the active herb, is traditionally celebrated for aiding digestive system, supporting liver health, and promoting detoxification. In Ayurveda, it is often used to balance ‘pitta’ dosha and support ‘agni’ (digestive fire), which might help reduce symptoms like bloating and irregularity.

The herb works by soothing the gastrointestinal tract and enhancing bile flow, which could improve your digestion and ease the cramps you’re experiencing. Bhumyamalaki is also noted for its hepatoprotective properties; it supports liver function and can aid in the detox processes. However, as with any herbal supplement, it’s essential to listen to your body’s response, especially because your digestive system is sensitive right now.

Since Sadvaidya Bhumyamalaki Churna primarily addresses liver and digestive health, it’s generally well-tolerated with supplements like vitamin D and magnesium. Still, being cautious when combining supplements is wise. To start, consider a conservative dose, perhaps 1-2 grams mixed with warm water, taken once or twice daily after meals. Monitor how your body reacts over a week or two.

When introducing any new substance into your system, particularly with pre-existing sensitivities, I recommend consulting an Ayurvedic physician to tailor its use to your unique ‘prakriti’ (constitution). They can assess your overall health and guide dosage more precisely. Also, if your symptoms persist or worsen, or if you experience any adverse effects, it’s imperative to seek broader medical advice.

And yes, stress can weigh heavily on digestive function, so addressing this alongside taking the Churna could be even more beneficial. Mindful practices like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation could help reduce stress, enhancing both digestion and overall well-being.

Sadvaidya Bhumyamalaki Churna, derived from the herb Phyllanthus niruri, is indeed known in Ayurveda, particularly in the Siddha tradition, for its potential benefits in supporting digestive health and liver function. This herb is primarily praised for its ability to help balance pitta dosha, which when aggravated, can lead to issues like bloating, cramping, and irregularity. Your recent stress from starting a new job could be contributing to an imbalance in doshas, potentially affecting both your agni (digestive fire) and overall digestive process.

Regarding its use, Sadvaidya Bhumyamalaki Churna may aid in reducing inflammation and promoting proper bowel function, thanks to its cooling, bitterness, and slightly astringent nature. It acts as a mild detoxifying agent which could help in relieving some stress-related digestive complaints. As for liver health, yes, it’s also traditionally used to support liver detoxification and function, which indirectly promotes better digestion.

However, given your sensitivity and current intake of other supplements, proceed with caution. While generally considered safe, introducing any new remedy should be done gradually. I recommend starting with a small dose, like half a teaspoon mixed with warm water, preferably in the morning. It’s best to observe how your body reacts over a few days. It’s also prudent to maintain a gap of at least 1-2 hours between taking the churna and other supplements like vitamin D and magnesium, to avoid potential interactions.

Also, consider incorporating stress-reducing practices such as pranayama or gentle yoga, which are particularly effective in calming vata and supporting your digestive system. Keep yourself well hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in easily digestible foods to support your digestive fire.

Since each body is unique, and responses can vary, it’s wise to consult with a healthcare practitioner familiar with your medical history for personalized advice. If symptoms persist or worsen, further professional evaluation may be necessary to rule out any underlying conditions. Always prioritize safety and comfort before introducing new interventions into your routine.

Dr. Anupriya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

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

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

Dr. 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. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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. 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.

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.

I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.
