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.

HELLO JANVI,

This means -Your uterus is shedding less lining (endometrium) than before -this often happens when hormonal balance shifts- especially estrogen and progesterone levels

From an Ayurvedic point of view, this is Artava kshaya (reduced menstrual flow) and mild Ritu vyapad (cycle disturbance)

MAIN IMBALANCE -Vata (irregular timing, pain without proper flow) -Pitta (heat, early ovulation symptoms) -Rakta dhatu kshaya(less blood tissue nourishment)

TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata and pitta so your cycle comes on time and without pain -nourish rakta dhatu so the uterine lining builds up properly-> healthy flow -strengthen the uterus and ovaries for better ovulation and hormone rhythm -relieve pain naturally without harming hormones -prevent long-term issues like infertility, PCOS, or endometrial weakness

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SHATAVARI GRANULES= 1 tsp with warm milk in morning and night for 3 months =improves fertility, nourishes female reproductive tissues, balances pitta and vata

2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals for 3 months =strenghtens uterus, regulates cycles, reduces pain

3) LODHRA CHURNA= 3 gm with honey in morning for 3 months =balances pitta, improves endometrial health

4) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 40 ml with water twice daily before meals for 3 months =relieves pelvic pain, balances vata

5) PHAL GHRITA = 1 tsp in warm milk morning for 3 months =nourishes uterus, supports ovulation

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE= warm sesame oil massage over whole body =balances vata, improves circulation to uterus

LIFESTYLE CHANGE

SLEEP= 10 pm to 6 am, avoid late nights (vata-pitta calming)

STRESS= avoid overthinking, mental strain, and emotional overload

EXERCISE= gentle yoga, no over exercising during periods

HYDRATION= warm water or herbal teas (ginger, fennel). Avoid iced drinks

AVOID= skipping meals, excessive fasting, very spicy/fried/junk food, and too much coffee/tea

YOGA ASANA -baddha konasana= opens pelvis, improves blood flow -supta baddha konasana= relaxes uterus -setu bandhasana= tones pelvic organs -viparita karani= improves circulationn, calms mind

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones -bhramari= relieve stress, calms pitta -sheetali= balances heat

DIET -warm milk with ghee + a pinch of turmeric -black sesame seeds + jaggery (rich in iron and calcium) -dates, pomegranates, figs= blood nourishing -moong dal khichdi with ghee easy to digest, nourishing -fresh vegetables, especially beets and carrots improves blood

AVOID -very spicy, sour, fermented foods - pitta aggravation -cold,raw, stale foods- vata aggravation -excess coffee, cola, alcohol- hormone disruptors

HOME REMEDIES -Sesame seed + jaggery laddoo= 1 daily in winter, improves menstrual flow -Fenugreek seed tea= soothes cramps, improves digestion -Warm castor oil pack on lower abdomen before periods- relieve pain, increases blood flow

INVESTIGATION ADVISED -thyroid profile -serum prolactin-again after 3 months -day 2- 3 FSH, LH, Estradiol - serum progesterone (day 21 if 28 days cycle ) -pelvic ultrasound- check ovaries, endometrial thickness -cbc, ferritin- check for anemia

Your condition is not dangerous right now, but its a signal your body’s hormonal rhythm is slightly off

-If we address it now with Ayurvedic nourishment. + lifestyle discipline, your cycles can return to healthy flow in few months -If ignored for long, it can progress into irregular ovulation, infertility, or endometrial weakness -Be patient= the uterus and hormones need at least 3-6 cycles to fully reset

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

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.

Hlo janvi, Just relax and be stress free, bcz being in stress will increase your problem you will be get ok soon.

Hyperprolactinemia is one of the gynaecological condition which has ill effects on women health. Prolactin interacts with hormone such as oestrogen and progesterone,which are crucial for menstrual cycle. High prolactin level can suppress the production of fSH and LH which are necessary for ovulation and disruption to ovulation can lead to irregular periods,lighter periods or complete absence of periods.

First of all want to know have u any other medical history of hypothyroidism,any oral medicine intake, any stress any sleep issues or lifestyle disturbances factors.

According to Ayurveda there can be two reasons -1) rasashya. 2) kafa avran on rasaWe will plan completed course treatment for atleast 2 months

1) Ashokarisht (10 ml)+ kumaryasav(10 ml) BD with equal amount of water after food 2)M2 tone syrup 10 ml TDS with equal amount of after after food 2) chanderprabha vati 1 tab BD after food 3) raj pravartini vati 1 tab BD after food 4) Tab EBH 1 TAB HS 5) morning tea- ginger small amount+ cinemon stick small piece + 2-3 black pepper+pinch of turmeric+ beyleaf+ gur= boil in 1 glass of water until 1/4th = drink in morning empty stomach daily

FOLLOWED with panchakarma (shodhan) treatment. 1) nasya and shirodhara with Luke warm dhanvantari tailam/ shatpushpa tailam for 7 days 2) anuvasan basti with sahcharaaditaila 7 days before periods.

Follow this for atleast 3 cycles

You will see result in first menses and within 3 months prolactin will gets to nrml also.

– kindly let me know if their is any pelvic USG, MRI, prolactin level , body weight, or body structure

My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

Experiencing light periods that last only for approximately one and a half day can indeed be a sign of a hormonal imbalance, particularly given your history of high prolactin levels. In Ayurveda, we often associate such menstrual irregularities with an imbalance in the doshas, especially Vata and Pitta, and sometimes influenced by Kapha in the case of high prolactin.

First, it’s important to support your overall hormonal balance. Ashwagandha and Shatavari, two prominent Ayurvedic herbs, may help in stabilizing and harmonizing your endocrine system. Shatavari is particularly known for supporting female reproductive health and nourishing the tissues (dhatus). You might consider taking 1-2 capsules of Ashwagandha and Shatavari daily with warm water or milk, preferably in the evening to help reduce stress, which can elevate prolactin.

Diet plays a crucial role too — focus on eating warm, cooked meals emphasizing whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables like carrots and beets that help in maintaining hormonal equilibrium. Avoid cold, dry, or processed foods as they may disturb Vata and aggravate your condition.

Include a teaspoon of flaxseed or sesame seeds in your diet, they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and can effectively help in balancing hormones. Stress can exacerbate hormonal issues, hence practicing daily yoga and mindfulness could be beneficial. Mindful breathing exercises can be particularly effective in calming the mind and supporting consistent hormone levels.

The timeframe for seeing improvements can vary, often it may take several months to notice significant changes. This greatly depends on individual constitution and adherence to the regimen. Consulting with a specialist in Ayurvedic medicine regularly would be invaluable in making necessary adjustments to your treatment.

Remember, while Ayurveda provides effective support, it’s crucial to continue consulting with your healthcare provider. Regular monitoring of prolactin levels and discussing any medication or therapy changes with them can provide a safe pathway towards recovery.

My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms.

I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Light menstruation, especially with a history of high prolactin levels and persistent hormonal imbalance, can be related to a disturbance in your body’s natural balance, often involving an imbalance in the doshas, especially vata and pitta. To approach this from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, let’s focus on stabilizing these imbalances and supporting your overall system.

First, dietary modifications can be essential. Favor warm, nourishing foods such as whole grains, cooked vegetables, and warming spices like cumin and ginger. Avoid cold and processed foods that can aggravate vata. Consuming sesame seeds with jaggery daily can help regulate your cycles over time; take one teaspoon of the mixture in the morning.

Herbs like Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) are traditionally used to support reproductive health and hormonal balance. An appropriate dosage would be around 500 mg of Ashwagandha and 1 gram of Shatavari per day, usually with warm milk. It’s crucial to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personal dosage and suitability.

Additionally, regular abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil can be calming to the vata dosha. This practice can be done daily before bathing.

For prolactin management, herbs like Vitex agnus-castus may support hormone balance, albeit they should be used cautiously and under guidance.

The timeline for seeing changes can be variable; consistency is key, and improvements might begin within 3-4 months. However, it’s important to closely monitor your health and work with a healthcare professional alongside these practices, especially if there’s ongoing, significant hormonal disturbance. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a specialist is vital to rule out any underlying conditions requiring urgent medical intervention.

Dr.V.Yamini Sowbhagya
I am Dr. V. Yamini Sowbhagya, currently working as Assistant Professor at Dr. BRKR Govt Ayurvedic Medical College, Hyderabad—been here for 4 years now, and honestly, still learning every single day. I did both my UG and MS here itself, specialized in Streeroga & Prasuti Tantra (Ayurvedic Gyn & Obs), which kinda gave me this strong base and local connect too... everything I know grew from this place, in a way. I’m super into the preventive side of Ayurveda — like, not just fixing what’s wrong, but stopping it before it starts. I really try to create awareness wherever I can, sometimes even just in daily OP conversations. I genuinely believe half the gynaecological issues we see can be avoided if we just paid attention to simple dinacharya or food patterns or even sleep cycle. But ya, easier said than done — people come in when things go too far. I was selected as a Fellow at the Foundation for Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship (CfHE) at IITH, Kandi, Sanga Reddy... which kinda pushed me into research + innovation mode. I got to see healthcare from another angle entirely — not just as a doctor but as a thinker. That time challenged me in diff ways, not all comfortable, but really useful. Academically, I love teaching. Like, genuinely. Theory, clinics, discussion — I try to make it real and not just memory games. Students need space to ask stupid questions, and I'm okay with saying "I don’t know" sometimes n checking later. Apart from that, I keep my hands in research stuff too — been involved in quite a few platforms, from college-level to inter-institutional. And ya, I did recieve a bunch of awards n cash prizes over the years, at both state n national level... it’s nice, though I don’t chase them. What matters more is if someone somewhere feels like they got heard or healed. That’s the bit I try not to lose in all this system madness.

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 JANVI,

Ayurvedic Perspective Light/short duration (Alpa Rajah) is commonly associated with Vata + Pitta imbalance and Artava Dhatu weakness (reproductive tissue). High prolactin indicates hormonal imbalance → in Ayurveda as Agnimandya (impaired digestion/metabolism) and disturbed Rasa–Rakta Dhatu.

Management

1. Diet (Āhāra) Warm, soothing foods: milk, ghee, sesame, dates, jaggery, soaked almonds.

Avoid: junk food, too much coffee/tea, cold & dry foods.

-Take black sesame + jaggery laddoo daily (particularly before & during periods).

2. Lifestyle (Vihāra) Normal sleep (10pm–6am). Gentle yoga: Baddha Konasana, Bhujangasana, Setubandhasana. Relieve stress (pranayama: Anulom Vilom, Bhramari).

3. Herbal Support (Aushadhi)

-Shatavari churna –1 tsp with warm milk in morning supports reproductive system.

- Ashokarishta – 20ml + equal water twice daily after meals controls menstrual flow.

-Dashmool kwath – 40 ml twice daily pacifies Vata, beneficial for pain & irregularity.

-Praval pishti (if Pitta heat symptoms are present)= 125mg with honey twice daily

4. Panchakarma (if imbalance is not corrected) Uttar Basti (medicated oil/ghee enema through uterus, performed under expert supervision). Nasya with Anu Taila (regulates hormones).

Timeline With diet + lifestyle + herbs appropriately, changes are generally noticeable in 3–6 months. Follow-up regularly, particularly to re-check the prolactin levels.

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

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. 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. Iravathi Adepu
I am working in Ayurveda with a kind of steady focus on really seeing what each patient needs, and I usually start from the classical principles—trying to understand the dosha shifts, the nidana behind their troubles, and why the body reacting in that particular way. From there I put together indivdualised plans, mixing Panchakarma when needed, diet changes, herbal meds, lifestyle modifications… sometimes all together if the case feels layered or chronic. I manage a wide mix of issues—like acute digestive flares, long-standing arthritis pains, different types of skin problems, and these growing lifestyle disorders that so many ppl struggle with. A lot of time goes into explaining things too, helping them follow small steps like Dinacharya or Ritucharya without feeling pressured. I kinda feel that education is half of the treatment in Ayurveda, honestly. I also consult for clients from other countries, where the main work becomes guiding them towards practical Ayurvedic routines they can actually do where they live. And at times I design whole rejuvenation or lifestyle programs, trying to align diet, yoga, daily habits, stress-handling strategies… the whole picture, not just the medicine part. Some days it flows easily, some days I tweak the plans three times until they makes sense. There’s also the follow-up part, which I try to take seriously because holistic healing isn’t instant. I keep track of how their sleep, digestion or mental ease is shifting, and if something not working, I change it without waiting too long. I like staying involved that way, supporting them through the process rather than handing a plan and stepping back. Maybe I overdo it a bit, but to me it feels right. And somewhere in all this, I keep reminding myself that Ayurveda works best when treatment is personal and humane, even if the days get a little chaotic or the schedule runs longer than I excpect.

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. Nayan Wale
I am working in medical field for total 7 years, out of which around 4 years was in hospital setup and 3 years in clinic practice. Hospital work gave me strong base, long duty hours, different type of cases, emergencies sometimes, and learning under pressure. Clinic work is different, slower but deeper, where I sit with patients, listen more, explain things again n again, and follow them over time. In hospital I handled day to day OPD cases, routine management, and also assisted seniors when things got complicated. That phase shaped my clinical thinking a lot, even now I sometimes catch myself thinking like hospital mode when a case looks serious. Clinic practice on the other hand taught me patience. Patients come with chronic issues, expectations, doubts, sometimes fear, and I had to adjust my approach accordingly. I focus on practical treatment planning, not just diagnosis on paper. Some days I feel I should have more time with each patient, but I try to balance it. My experience across hospital and clinic helps me understand both acute care and long term disease management. I still keep learning everyday, reading, observing patterns, correcting myself when needed, because medicine never stays same for long, and neither should the doctor.

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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

Dr. Aparna Kumari
I am someone who honestly grew a lot during my time at Choudhary Brahm Prakash Ayurved Charak Sansthan. Spent almost a full year working there—just one year, but felt like ten in terms of what I learned. The place is one of Asia's most respected Ayurvedic hospitals, and I got lucky getting that exposure so early. Worked under some seriously experienced doctors and expert faculty... like, they didn’t just teach, they lived Ayurveda, you know? Every day was full of clinical rounds, detailed case discussions, n watching complex therapies get carried out with this mix of tradition & precision. There’s something about learning in that kind of environment—it makes you rethink the way you observe even basic symptoms. I got to be involved in treatments for so many different conditions—digestive stuff, joint issues, skin disorders, neuro problems... and I’d say the biggest gain wasn’t just textbook learning, but knowing when not to rely on books. I picked up how to do proper Ayurvedic diagnosis using things like Nadi Pariksha, Prakriti analysis and real-time observation, which I know sounds obvious but trust me—doing it under pressure or with 5 patients waiting isn't the same as what you do during college viva. I messed up a few times, not gonna lie. But I was mentored closely and that helped a lot... Also learned how team-based care works in bigger institutions, which matters more than ppl admit. Sometimes your decision affects other therapists’ work or vice versa. All this helped shape how I now approach patient care—more aware, more grounded. Working there gave me this foundation I keep going back to, especially when I’m treating complex cases or making tough calls during Panchakarma planning. Looking back now, that year was short, but the learning curve—pretty steep and totally worth it.

Dr. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.
