How to treat constipation in 2.5 year old child. - #31850

Anupam

My 2-year-4-month-old son has been passing multiple very small stools throughout the day for the past few months. He needs to strain a lot each time. I have been giving him Himalaya Triphala syrup both in the morning and at night for the last 15 days, but there has been no improvement. Please suggest the proper treatment.

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.

The symptoms you describe—multiple, very small, hard stools and straining—are indicative of constipation, which is a common issue in toddlers. In Ayurveda, this condition is often related to an imbalance of the Vata dosha, specifically the Apana Vayu. When Vata is aggravated, its qualities of being dry and rough can lead to the stool becoming hard and difficult to pass.

Here are some general Ayurvedic principles and remedies often recommended for this condition.

Why the Triphala Syrup May Not Be Working While Triphala is a well-known and effective Ayurvedic remedy for constipation, its suitability and efficacy depend on the individual’s constitution (Prakriti), the specific imbalance, and the correct dosage.

Dosage and Formulation: The standard dose on some products may not be right for your son’s specific situation. A practitioner can determine the correct dose and frequency for a child.

Imbalance Correction: Simply taking a laxative, even a gentle one like Triphala, may not address the root cause of the Vata imbalance. The treatment needs to be holistic, including dietary and lifestyle changes.

General Ayurvedic Approach for

Constipation in Toddlers Ayurveda focuses on a holistic approach that includes diet, lifestyle, and gentle therapies to restore balance.

Dietary Adjustments:

Focus on Warm, Cooked Foods: Avoid cold, dry, or raw foods, which can aggravate Vata. Opt for warm, well-cooked meals.

Increase Healthy Fats: Ghee (clarified butter) is highly recommended in Ayurveda for its lubricating properties. A small amount of cow’s ghee added to warm milk or food can help soften stools.

Hydration: Ensure your son drinks plenty of warm water throughout the day. Dehydration is a major cause of hard stools.

Incorporate Fiber-rich Foods: Introduce gentle, high-fiber foods that are easy to digest, such as soaked raisins or figs (anjeer), cooked prunes, papaya, and ripe bananas.

Lifestyle Changes:

Regular Routine: Establishing a consistent daily routine for meals, sleep, and bowel movements can help regulate the body’s natural rhythms and support proper digestion.

Abdominal Massage: Gently massaging your son’s belly in a clockwise, circular motion with warm sesame oil can stimulate bowel movements and relieve discomfort.

Physical Activity: Encourage your son to be physically active. Playtime and movement help stimulate the digestive system.

Herbal Remedies

Triphala: While you have already used it.

Fennel (Saunf): Fennel water can be soothing for the digestive system. Boil a teaspoon of fennel seeds in water, cool it, and give a few sips to your son.

Milk and Ghee: A traditional remedy is to give a glass of warm milk with half a teaspoon of cow’s ghee at bedtime.

Anjeer (Figs): Soaking a few dried figs in water overnight and giving them to your son in the morning can be very effective due to their high fiber content.

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 anupam, Thanks for your question.

Constipation ( vibandh) in children is distressing and is reason for increased patental concern. Normally vata nad kafa Prakriti are prone to hard stools. In infants , vibandha can result from faulty, unfrequent feeding of the baby and an improper dietary regimen of mother leading to stanya dushti. Vibandha is a disease of Pakwashaya which is vatasthana, and involvement of agni is invariably seen in vibandha. Hence the treatment principles consist as follows.

•Drugs should be snigdha, agni vardhaka and tone improving. •can advice any calcium supplements • other general drugs •stay hydrated • give fibrous food • add virechana drugs

Oral treatment - 1) syrul amlycure 5ml twice a day after food 2) syrup trphala 5 ml twice a day after food 3) Bontone granules 5 gm twice a day with milk

Advice - 1) plenty of water and fibrous rich diet 2) green leafy vegetables 3) avoid excess usage of dry and junk food items

2)

Hello dear.

Your son is facing indigestion which is leading to constipation.

Keep a watch on his liquid intake. Prefer light khichadi or sabji that is in curry form for dinner. Adding fibers in the dinner will also help. Add hing (asafoetida) in the meals. Drinking hot water at night with a small amount of jaggery and ghee 2tsp will help.

Tab. Ampachak Vati 1 tab twice a day before food Bhaskar Lavan Churna 1 tsp Mix with rice

I would not suggest Triphala. Rather soak half a tsp of isabgol in a glass of water and give it at bed time.

Dr. Akshay Negi
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 ANUPAM,

Your son (2 years 4 months) is passing multiple small stools with straining, but not getting full evacuation. In Ayurveda this is called vibandha (constipation), mainly due to -Agni mandya (weak digestion/metabolism)-> food is not digested properly, stool becomes hard. -Vata prakopa (aggravated vata intestines)-> dryness + irregular peristalsis-> stools come in bits -Poor diet/lifestyle habits-> excess dry/junk food, low fiber, low water, irregular meals, stress with potty training.

Because stools are coming out in bits (like small balls), it suggests pakvashaya vata imbalance.

TREATMENT GOALS -Soften stools= make them easy to pass -Improve agni (digestion)= so food is properly digested, reducing gas and dryness -Balance vata= by giving unctous (Snigdha), warm, mild medicines, not harsh laxatives -establish routine= child should naturally pass stool daily, preferably in the morning -prevent complications= like anal fissue, poor appetite, irritability

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SUKUMAR GHRITA= 1/4 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for 4 weeks =mild laxative, nourishes intestines, balances vata-pitta, safe for children

2) GANDHARVAHASTADI TAILA= 5 drops with lukewarm milk at night (once/week)-strictly not to be given daily max 2 times/week =gentle cleansing of bowels, removes dryness

3) DRAKSHA AVALEHA= 1/2 tsp twice daily after meals =improves digestion, acts as mild laxative, tasty and acceptable to children

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= daily massage with warm BALA TAILA =special focus= abdomen (clockwise circles), lower back, legs =calms vata, improves peristalsis, keeps child calm

2) NAVEL OILING =2-3 drops of warm castor oil in navel at night =softens stools naturally

3) WARM BATH after massage-> relaxes muscles, reduce sstraining

DIET -warm cow’s milk with 1/2 tsp ghee at night -Fruits= ripe papaya, soaked raisins (2-3 overnight), figs, pears, chiknoo, stewed apple -Vegetables=bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, spinach -Whole wheat, rice, moong dal, khichdi -soups with little ghee

AVOID -biscuits, bread, bakery, chips, junk foods -cold drinks, packaged juices -excess banana, potatoes, fried food

FLUIDS -warm wate frequently -avoid icy/cold water

LIFESTYLE -For toddlers, yoga is not practical, but parents/family can help -Toilet routine= sit the child on potty/commode daily after breakfast or dinner (not forceful , gentle encouragement) -Active play= encourage running, outdoor play-> improves digestion -Massage and warm bath daily

HOME REMEDIES -soaked raisins= 2-3 soaked overnight-> give pulp in morning -papaya or stewed apple daily -ghee in milk= 1/2 tsp ghee in 1/2 cup warm milk at bedtime -honey water = 1/2 tsp honey in lukewarm water in morning

-Constipation in children is common and usually functional not serious -The key is soft diet, routine, mild formulations, and oil massage -Avoid strong medicines - they aggravate vata in children -Be patient= improvement is gradual

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

When a young child is passing multiple small stools with straining, it often indicates digestive discomfort which needs a thoughtful approach. While Triphala is commonly used for supporting bowel movements, its not always effective in kids. We need to focus on balancing Vata dosha which often contributes to such symptoms in children.

Firstly, revisiting dietary habits can have a significant impact. Ensure your child is hydrated by providing adequate water throughout the day. Offer warm water which aids digestion. Complement this with a diet rich in fiber, including foods like cooked vegetables, especially gourds, carrots, and stewed apples. Ripe bananas can also be particularly beneficial for softening stools in children.

You might want to reconsider the use of Triphala syrup continually if it’s not showing results. Instead, try incorporating a natural ghee and milk mixture. Warm half a cup of milk and add a teaspoon of ghee, offering this before bedtime. This mixture is soothing and can help regulate bowel movements as ghee acts as a natural lubricant for the intestines, promoting easier passage of stools.

As children are very active, encourage physical activities suitable for your child’s age which often helps stimulate the digestive system.

To further assist his digestion, you might consider introducing Hing (asafoetida) in meals; a small pinch added to his dishes helps to ease digestion naturally.

Lastly, incorporating a gentle massage routine may also be of benefit. Using warm sesame oil, gently massage your child’s abdomen in circular motions, which may assist in relieving constipation. If symptoms persist, it’s crucial to consult with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying concerns that necessitate medical intervention.

Constipation in young children, like your son’s experience, is a common concern and addressing the imbalance in his system can be quite beneficial. In Siddha-Ayurveda, we would focus on balancing the Vata dosha and ensuring that Agni, or digestive fire, is functioning well. First, consider including a small quantity of warm ghee in his meals; about half a teaspoon mixed in with his food can aid digestion and ease stool passage.

Next, optimize his diet with easily digestible foods. Consider pureed fruits like ripe papaya and cooked apples, which can help naturally lubricate the intestines. Avoid heavy and dry foods like crackers or cold foods that might further aggravate Vata. Ensure he drinks adequate water throughout the day to keep his system hydrated, but avoid cold beverages that can disrupt the digestive process.

Another important step is establishing a regular bowel routine. Encourage him to sit on the potty at the same time every day, ideally after meals, to help stimulate a natural rhythm.

An Ayurvedic herbal option is to try a different approach with a mixture of ashwagandha and licorice, both known to support digestion and soothe intestinal discomfort. Mix a pinch of these powdered herbs in warm water or milk and give it to him once a day. However, consider consulting a pediatrician or health professional before introducing herbs.

Meanwhile, watch for any alarming symptoms like severe abdominal pain or vomiting, which would require immediate medical attention. If symptoms persist, seeking advice from a pediatrician is prudent. Address these suggestions alongside his current regimen for a more comprehensive approach.

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 ANUPAM,

managing constipation in a 2.5-year-old based on your child’s symptoms:

1. Dietary Measures Fruits: Feed ripe bananas, papaya, pomegranate, apples (steamed or grated), and pears. Unripe bananas to be avoided. Vegetables: Bottle gourd, pumpkin, spinach, carrot (steamed). Grains: Moong dal khichdi, soft rice, wheat porridge. Refines food to be avoided and not too much milk. Fats: A spoonful of ghee (½–1 tsp) daily should be added to the meals. Fluids: Sufficient warm water and milk in moderation.

2. Herbal Remedies Triphala: Replace syrup twice a day with ½–1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk or water. Skip morning doses.

Isabgol (Psyllium husk): ½ tsp at bedtime with warm milk or water. Softens stools.

Castor oil: On occasion ½ tsp warm castor oil (only if above is not relieving, and under supervision).

3. Lifestyle & Habits Abdominal massage: Gentle clockwise massage with warm sesame or coconut oil before a bath. Routine toilet time: Encourage sitting on a small potty after meals for 5–10 minutes. Play & movement: Encourage crawling, walking, or playtime to induce bowel movement.

Important Note: Prevent strong purgatives regularly; gentle methods are safer in toddlers. If your child has blood in stool, intense abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever, consult a pediatrician at once.

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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.

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. 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. 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.

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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. 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. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

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. 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. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.
