I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. 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. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. 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.

HELLO SEBASTIAN,

-You are experiencing indigestion, pain in left and right abdomen, disturbed sleep, and concern for lung health -In Ayurveda, this is mainly due to Mandagni(weak digestive fire)-> undigested food turns into Ama (toxins) -Ama blocks channels, increases vata (causing pain and disturbed sleep) and Kapha (affecting lungs)

HENCE YOUR SYMPTOMS -Indigestion, heaviness, bloating-> weak agni -Pain in abdomen->vata imbalance + ama accumulation -sleep disturbance-> vata aggravation -Lung weakness-> kapha + low Ojas (immunity)

TREATMENT GOALS -deepana and pachana= kindle agni and digest ama -Shodhana= cleanse channels -Rasayana= strengthen immunity and lungs -Vata pitta kapha balance= through diet, lifestyle, yoga -restore sound sleep

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water after meals for 6-8 weeks =relieves gas, bloating, abdominal pain, improves digestion

4) SHITOPALADI CHURNA + HONEY= 1 tsp twice daily for 6-8 weeks =for lung health, clears phlegm, improves breathing

5) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp every morning for 3 months =rasayana for lungs and immunity

6) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for 6 weeks =for sleep, stress, strengthens body

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= with warm sesame oil daily-> balances vata, relieves abdominal pain, improves sleep

2) NABHI LEPAN= applying paste of dry ginger + warm water on navel area for 15 mins= improves digestion

3) STEAM THERAPY= after massage =removes ama and relieves pain

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -eat at fix timings, don’t skip meals -chew food well, avoid talking while eating -avoid day sleep, late night sleep, and excessive stress -walk 10-15 mins after meals -ensure early dinner 2-3 hrs before bed

YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana after meals = improves digestion -pawanmuktasana=removes gas -bhujangasana -ardha matsyendrasana=strngthen digestion and lungs

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances doshas, improves lung -kapalbhati=removes kapha from lungs but avoid if too weak -bhramari=calms mind, improve sleep PRACTICE= 15-20 min daily

DIET -moong dal khichdi with ghee -warm soups, light porridge -spices= cumin, ajwain, hing, ginger, black pepper -herbal teas= fennel-coriander-cumin tea

AVOID -cold,heavy, fried, junk, fast food -excess curd, cheese, red meat -aerated drinks, alcohol, smoking -overeating and irregular meal timimngs

HOME REMEDIES -Ajwain water= boil 1 tsp ajwain + pinch black salt in water, drink after meals for gas and pain -Ginger tea= fresh ginger with warm water before meals to boost digestion -Fennel seeds= chew after meals for bloating and freshnes -tulsi + black pepper decoction with honey= strengthens lung and immunity

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

Hello Sebastian,

I understand your concern. You mentioned indigestion of food with pain on left and right side of abdomen and also difficulty in sleeping. But since you have not given full details of your history, it is important we clarify a few things before suggesting treatment. First, you must get an USG Abdomen (Ultrasound scan) done to rule out any underlying cause for this abdominal pain.

I also want to ask you:

Is it only abdominal pain that troubles you, or do you also have other complaints like bloating, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or acidity? You also mentioned about lungs – do you have any breathing difficulty, cough, or chest pain? Regarding sleep – is it disturbed only due to pain, or do you have other reasons like stress, breathlessness, or anxiety? Your answers will help me guide you better.

Indigestion resulting in abdominal pain can often be attributed to an imbalance in the digestive fire, or “Agni,” within Ayurveda. When Agni is weakened, the digestive process is disrupted, leading to discomfort and uneven energy in the body. To address these symptoms, given their recurrent nature, you should focus on diet and lifestyle improvements that bolster Agni and remediate the related doshic imbalances.

First, consider your meals - opt for light, warm, and easily digestible foods like well-cooked vegetables, grains like rice or quinoa and spices such as cumin, ginger, and fennel known to boost digestion. Avoid heavy, oily, spicy, and excessively processed foods which furthur disturb digestion. Also, make sure to eat freshly prepared meals, as leftovers tends to be harder on the system.

It’s crucial to establish regular eating patterns, dinacharya - have meals at the same time daily to help regulate digestive functions. Also, avoid overeating and ensure there is ample time to digest food before bedtime; ideally you should eat dinner at least 2-3 hours before sleeping.

In Ayurvedic practice, herbal concoctions can also be used to strengthen digestion, for example, triphala powder mixed with warm water taken before bedtime supports digestive health. Practicing pranayama daily, especially exercises like “Anulom-Vilom” can help enhance the lung function and overall vitality by improving breath control and oxygen intake.

For the more direct concern of lung health, steam inhalation with eucalyptus or mint leaves may provide relief, aiding in natural respiratory function, while preventing congestion. But be mindful if symptoms are severe, as immediate medical intervention might be necessary—especially since indigestion and pain can potentially signal other health concerns. Balance both Ayurvedic and conventional medical advice for comprehensive well-being.

Ayurveda suggests that indigestion, or “ajirna,” is caused by an imbalance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The specific symptoms you are experiencing, such as pain on both the left and right sides and difficulty sleeping, could be attributed to an imbalance in one or more of these doshas.

Based on Ayurvedic principles, here are some general recommendations that may help with indigestion:

Dietary Adjustments:

Eat at regular times: Maintaining a consistent eating schedule can help regulate your digestive fire, or “Agni.”

Avoid overeating: Eating until you are only about three-quarters full allows your stomach to properly digest the food.

Choose warm, cooked foods: Warm, cooked foods are generally easier to digest than cold, raw foods.

Chew your food thoroughly: Chewing helps break down food and aids in the digestive process.

Avoid incompatible food combinations: Some combinations, such as fruit with dairy or meat with milk, are considered difficult to digest in Ayurveda.

Herbal Remedies:

Ginger: Ginger is a well-known digestive aid in Ayurveda. It can be consumed as a tea or added to food.

Fennel: Fennel seeds are often chewed after meals to help with digestion and freshen breath.

Cumin: Cumin is believed to stimulate Agni and can be used in cooking.

Triphala: This is a combination of three fruits that is commonly used in Ayurveda for promoting bowel regularity and overall digestive health.

Lifestyle Changes:

Gentle exercise: Regular, gentle exercise like walking or yoga can help stimulate digestion.

Stress management: Stress can significantly impact digestion. Practices like meditation and deep breathing can be helpful.

Proper sleep hygiene: Getting adequate and quality sleep is crucial for overall health, including digestive function.

Treatment

1) pippalyadi ghrita -20 ml 2 times 1 hr before food with warm water

2) hinguvastaka churna-3 gm - after eating half food 3 times with ghee

3) chitrakadi vati -2 tab before food 3 times with warm water

Your symptoms of indigestion and associated pain on both the left and right side suggest an imbalance that may be linked to your Agni, or digestive fire, and possibly aggravated Vata dosha. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic context, digestion is crucial for overall health, and poor digestion can manifest not just in the gut but as discomfort elsewhere in the body, as you described. Here’s how you might address it:

Start by adjusting your diet to support and balance your Agni. Incorporate warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest, like moong dal, rice, and lightly spiced vegetables. Spices such as cumin, coriander, and fennel can be beneficial and using ghee as a cooking medium helps in soothing Vata. Avoid cold, heavy, or processed foods that can overwhelm your digestive system.

Consider herbal formulations that can help strengthen digestion. Triphala is a classical Ayurvedic remedy that can aid digestion and detoxification. Take it in powder form, about half to one teaspoon with warm water, before bed. Be sure to consult with a local practitioner if you have pre-existing conditions.

For balancing your Vata, practices like Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, can be grounding and may ease discomfort and pain. Follow this with a warm bath to relieve tension. Doing this regularly can provide relief over time.

Regarding your request concerning lung health, incorporating practices such as Nadi Shodhana, or alternate nostril breathing, might enhance lung function and help in improving respiratory health. A daily practice of 5-10 minutes can be beneficial. Herbal support like Yashtimadhu (licorice) can aid lung strength; a pinch of licorice powder with honey and warm water can be taken.

If the pain persists or worsens, or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, it’s crucial to seek direct medical evaluation to rule out any serious underlying conditions. This approach ensures that you have tailored, safe, and effective guidance throughout your healing journey.

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

Dr. 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.

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.

I am two years into working as an Ayurvedic doctor, and even though that might not sound like a lot, trust me—it’s been packed. Every day, I see people with problems that don’t always fit neatly into diagnosis boxes. Headaches that don’t go away, digestion that’s just off, chronic fatigue, hormonal shifts, that sort of thing. And I get it—most of them have already tried everything by the time they reach me. That’s kinda where Ayurveda fits in. It doesn't just treat the disease, it tries to see the person, which sounds dramatic maybe, but it’s true. In these 2 years I’ve focused heavily on chronic lifestyle disorders—diabetes, hypertension, hormonal issues—and the overlap they all seem to have with stress, bad sleep, food habits gone sideways. My treatment approach leans into that: a mix of classical Ayurvedic diagnosis, structured diet/lifestyle guidance, and if needed, Panchakarma therapies. Not the one-size-fits-all type stuff, more like, okay, what exactly is going wrong in this person's system and how do we reset it without overwhelming them. I spend a lot of time on patient counseling too. Because like, telling someone “reduce stress” or “avoid sugar” means nothing if you don’t explain how to do it in their actual life. Most people aren’t lazy, they’re just exhausted or confused or overloaded with info that doesn’t match their body type or daily routine. I try to simplify things, not just in words, but in steps they can actually follow—whether it’s managing meals during work hours or getting better sleep without depending on meds. I also help with preventive care—like couples planning pregnancy, or young adults seeing early signs of imbalance. Sometimes we don’t even need herbs—just realignment. But when we do use medicines or therapies, I always explain what and why. Transparency builds trust. And trust heals faster than anything I could write in a prescription. It's not perfect, and sometimes I second guess if I did enough, said enough... but when a patient smiles after weeks of frustration, I know I’m on the right track.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. 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. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

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