HELLO RESHMA,

At age 51, with diabetes, angioplasty, gallbladder removal, constipation, overweight, skin/hair dryness, joint pains, weakness, your body shows signs of what Ayurveda calls Vata-pitta aggravation with depleted Ojas (vitality) -Vata governs movement, dryness, strength of joints , digestion of waste. When aggravated-> dryness, constipation, joint stiffness, hairfall, fatigue, premature aging

-Pitta governs digestion, metabolism, skin complexion. with gallbladder removal and diabetes, pitta metabolism is disturbed-> dark spots, dull skin, acidity, infections (UTI)

-Kapha governs weight, lubrication, stability. Excess kapha-> overweight, sluggish metabolism, blocked circulation

-Ojas(vital energy) is reduced due to chronic illness, surgery , long term diabetes-> low healing, weak immunity, dull skin and hair, fatigue

TREATMENT GOALS -Balance vata= relieve dryness, constipation, joint pain, hair/skin dullness -Balance pitta= reduce pigmentation, heat, UTI tendency, improve skin glow -Lighten kapha= reduce weight, improve circulation, prevent blockages -Rebuild Ojas= improve strength , vitality, immunity, healing -Prevent complications of diabetes, heart disease, and aging

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) FOR DIABETES AND METABOLISM

-NISHA AMALAKI = 500mg twice daily with warm water =balances sugar, improves skin

-VIJAYSAR DECOCTION= 40 ml daily in morning =helps regulate blood sugar

-TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals =reduces weight, clears toxins, supports digestion

2) FOR WEAKNESS AND VITALITY

-ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm milk =strengthens nerves, muscles, relieves stress

-CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp daily in morning =rasayana for immunity and skin glow

3) FOR SKIN, HAIR AND BLOOD PURIFICATION

-MANJISTHA CAPSULES= 500mg twice daily =blood purifier, reduces pigmentation

-NEEM TABLETS= twice daily =controls infection, improves skin

-AMLA JUICE= 20 ml daily =rich in Vitamin C, anti aging

4) FOR JOINTS AND PAIN

-YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals =vata balancing, joint pain relief

5) FOR CONSTIPATION AND GUT HEALTH

-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water =mildlaxative , improves gut health

-IF VERY DRY STOOLS= Add 1 tsp CASTOR OIL with warm milk at night once weekly

DURATION= 3-6 months

DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -green vegetables- gourd, pumpkin, spinach, fenugreek, drumstick leaves -moong dal , horse gram, barley, oats, bajra -1 tsp ghee daily- balances vata, improves absorption -soaked almonds/walnuts, flaxsed -herbal teas= cumin-coriander-fennel water, ginger-turmeric tea

AVOID -cold,raw, stale food -refined sugar, bakery, fried, processed food -heavy dairy -cheese, panner, curd at night -red meat, excess salt

HOME REMEDIES -Amla + aloe vera juice- 20 ml each empty stomach for skin and digestion -Methi seeds soaked overnight- chew in morning for diabetes and digestion -Turmeric milk at bedtime- for immunity -Sesame seeds in winter for strength and calcium

DAILY YOGA -Bhujangasana= strengthen spine, digestion -Setu bandhasana= heart and metabolism -Pawanmuktasana= relieves gas and constipation -Vrikshasana= balance, joint strength

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata and pitta -Bhramari= calms mind, reduces stress -Sheetali/sheetkari= reduces pitta heat

LIFESTYLE -Sleep early by 10 pm -No day sleep worsens kapha/weight -walk daily 20-30 mins after meals -Stress management through meditation, chanting, journaling

Since you have multiple chronic issues, you should keep regular check -Blood sugar= every 3 months -Lipid profile= every 6 months -Liver and kidney function test= Every 6 months -Vitamin D and B12, Calcium= yearly -ECG/ECHO -Urine test

Your condition is a combination of age-related changes, diabetes, past surgeries, and vata-pitta imbalance. The Ayurvedic approach is not only to suppress symptoms but to -restore digestion and metabolism -nourish skin, hair, joints -balance dryness and heat -rebuild strength -prevent further complication of diabetes and heart disease

With consistent diet, lifestyle, herbal support, yoga and monitoring you can experience better energy, smoother digestion, healthier skin and hair and reduced joint pain within 2-3 months, with deeper rejuvenation over 6-12 months

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

Considering the complexity of your symptoms, it’s crucial to adopt a holistic approach grounded in Ayurvedic principles, while being mindful of your medical history and current conditions like diabetes and having undergone angioplasty. The dryness and dullness of your skin alongside joint pains and hair concerns likely indicate a Vata imbalance.

First, addressing the dryness and nourishing your skin and hair involves incorporating more healthy fats into your diet. Incorporate warm foods with natural oils such as avocados, ghee (clarified butter), and nuts. Stay hydrated with warm water and herbal teas, such as ginger or cumin tea. Consider adding 1-2 teaspoons of Triphala churna in warm water before bedtime to aid in digestion and combat constipation.

For your skin, try applying a gentle oil massage (abhyanga) using sesame oil. Warm the oil slightly, apply it to your body, and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes before taking a warm shower. This not only nourishes the skin but also helps soothe your joints. Use a natural ubtan (herbal face pack) made with chickpea flour, turmeric, and aloe vera for direct application to dark spots on your skin.

Your hair can benefit from regular application of almond or coconut oil. Massage the oil into the scalp 2-3 times a week and leave it overnight for deep moisturization. To strengthen hair and nails, incorporate amla powder into your routine, with one teaspoon a day, mixed in lukewarm water or as a part of your meals.

Given your diabetic condition, keep monitoring your sugar levels regularly and adhere strictly to any dietary recommendations provided by your healthcare provider. Engage in gentle, daily exercise like yoga, focusing on breathing techniques such as Pranayama, which enhance circulation and balance doshas. Also, get exposure to early morning sunlight for vitamin D synthesis, which could improve joint health.

Since weakness is a concern, maintaining balanced meals with complex carbohydrates, proteins (from plant sources like lentils and beans), and leafy greens will help. Avoid processed foods, refined sugars, and cold beverages that may further exacerbate Vata imbalance. Rest and maintain consistent sleeping schedule for overall wellness. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any Ayurvedic treatments, especially considering the removal of your gallbladder and angioplasty.

Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in Vata dosha, which may be contributing to dryness of the skin and hair, joint pain, and possibly impacting digestion and metabolism. With your history of diabetes, angioplasty, and gallbladder removal, it’s important to take a careful approach.

For the dryness and dullness of your skin and hair, regularly applying warm sesame oil or coconut oil can help. Massage the oil into your skin and scalp, leave it on for about 30 minutes before a warm bath. This practice, known as Abhyanga, helps balance Vata and nourishes the tissues.

For joint pain, consider a herbal formulation containing Guggulu, which helps with Vata-related stiffness. Dashmoola tea can also be beneficial — drink it twice a day to help soothe the joints.

Constipation indicates impaired Agni (digestive fire). Triphala can be taken at bedtime, about half a teaspoon mixed with warm water. It aids digestion and promotes bowel regularity.

Since you’ve had angioplasty and are diabetic, maintaining a stable diet is crucial. Focus on incorporating warm, moist, and easy-to-digest foods. Avoid dry and raw foods that may aggravate Vata. Include healthy fats like ghee and avocados to help provide lubrication and energy, which can also support hair elasticity and skin moisture.

For overall weakness, Ashwagandha can be beneficial as an adaptogen. It may help with energy levels without spiking blood sugar. Before incorporating this, ensure it aligns with your current medication.

Given your medical history, it’s essential to coordinate with your healthcare provider to ensure these approaches compliment your ongoing treatments. However, a tailored application of these practices can potentially bring significant relief without adverse effects.

Dr. Vinayak Kamble
I am about 1 year into my practice journey n honestly that feels both small n big at the same time. When I first started, I wasn’t sure how quickly I could adjust from academic space into real clinical care, but gradually with each patient I learnt something more. My main focus is on pain management—conditions like knee joint pain, sciatica, lumbar back ache, spondylitis, tennis elbow, golfer elbow, frozen shoulder, heel pain etc. I try to combine careful diagnosis with treatments rooted in Ayurveda yet explained in practical way so patients don’t feel lost. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes quick, but always there is learning in it. During this year I also kept my dedication toward research and evidence-based approach. I worked on presenting ideas and papers in academic forums whenever I got chance, and even managed to publish in journals that value Ayurveda in modern context. That gave me confidence that my small contributions can add to bigger discussions in medical field. In my postgraduate study I had finished Medicine with top score in my batch, which felt rewarding but also left me with responsibility to keep proving that I deserve that position. Honestly, academic achievements are good but real test is when someone walks in pain and goes back with relief, even if just partial at first. Sometimes patients expect instant cure, n that is where I try to keep balance—explaining how pain relief in conditions like frozen shoulder or spondylitis may take staged approach, while also keeping them hopeful. Ayurveda gives a framework but patient trust makes the treatment effective. One year is not a long time but it has been enough to show me the value of consistency, clarity and listening more than talking. My aim is not just treating pain but helping people understand their body better, manage lifestyle triggers, and feel supported in the journey of healing!!

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

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

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

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

I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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.

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.
