Dr. Khushboo
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.

Postpartum Weight and Belly Fat Reduction

Ayurveda suggests a gradual, holistic approach to weight loss after childbirth, avoiding crash diets. The goal is to nourish the body while slowly toning it.

Dietary Adjustments: Focus on warm, light, and easily digestible foods to rekindle your Agni.

Recommended Foods: Include cooked vegetables, soups, stews, and porridges like moong dal khichdi. Ghee is highly recommended as a healthy fat to lubricate tissues and aid digestion. Spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel can be added to meals to boost metabolism.

Foods to Avoid: Steer clear of cold, raw, and heavy foods like salads, cold drinks, and processed items, as they can slow digestion and increase Vata.

Ayurvedic Therapies:

Udvartana: This is a therapeutic massage using herbal powders (such as a mix of chickpea flour, triphala, and other herbs) to stimulate lymphatic drainage, break down fat deposits, and improve circulation.

Abhyanga: A daily self-massage with warm, medicated oils like Dhanwantharam Thailam or sesame oil can help tone the muscles, reduce fluid retention, and pacify Vata.

Postpartum Hair Fall The significant drop in estrogen after childbirth causes many hair follicles to enter a resting phase (telogen effluvium), leading to excessive shedding. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this is a result of Vata and Pitta dosha imbalances.

Ayurvedic Remedies:

Herbal Oils: Regular scalp massages (Shiro Abhyanga) with a nourishing oil like Bhringraj or Neelibhringadi Taila can improve blood circulation to the scalp and strengthen hair roots.

Herbs: Incorporate herbs that balance hormones and nourish the body. Shatavari is a key herb for postpartum recovery, as it helps balance hormones and supports lactation. Ashwagandha can help with stress-related hair fall.

Diet: A nutrient-rich diet with foods high in iron (like spinach and lentils) and protein (like moong dal) is essential for hair regrowth.

All-Time Tiredness and Back Pain Postpartum fatigue and back pain are often linked to the depletion of energy and the aggravation of Vata dosha during and after childbirth. Carrying and feeding a baby can also strain the back and neck.

Ayurvedic Therapies:

Abhyanga: Daily warm oil massage is crucial for grounding the body, nourishing the nervous system, and relieving muscle and joint pain.

Herbal Steam (Swedana): A warm herbal steam or bath after a massage can help relax muscles and promote detoxification.

Diet & Lifestyle:

Prioritize Rest: It’s vital to rest whenever your baby sleeps. This helps replenish your energy reserves.

Warmth: Keep your body warm and avoid exposure to cold air or drafts.

Herbs: Ashwagandha is a powerful adaptogen that can help combat fatigue and stress.

Other Postpartum Symptoms Ayurveda addresses other common postpartum symptoms through a holistic approach.

Knee Pain and Cramps: These are classic signs of Vata aggravation. Regular oil massages, warm baths, and a Vata-pacifying diet (warm, oily foods) can help soothe joint and muscle discomfort.

Face Acne and Tanning: Skin issues like acne can be related to a build-up of toxins (Ama) or an imbalance of Pitta dosha. Tanning can be a result of the body’s weakened state.

Gentle Cleansing: Use a natural, gentle cleanser.

Diet: Focus on cooling foods that pacify Pitta, such as cucumbers and coconut water.

Herbs: Amla (Indian gooseberry) is rich in Vitamin C and can help with skin health and detoxification.

Difficulty Sitting to Feed: This is often a result of back pain and uterine healing.

Supportive Posture: Use pillows to support your back and arms while feeding.

Abdominal Binding (Udara Veshtanam): The traditional practice of tying a long cotton cloth around the abdomen helps to support the back, realign internal organs, and gently compress the uterus, which can make sitting more comfortable.

Hello Shehnaz,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concerns! After going through postpartum (delivery + C-section), your body is dealing with some significant Vata imbalance and tissue depletion, which is completely normal.

This is likely why you’re facing issues like weight retention, hair loss, fatigue, back and knee pain, cramps, and skin problems. But don’t worry, we’re here to support you! 😊

✅ WHY THIS HAPPENS AFTER DELIVERY

1. Weight retention & belly bulge = weakened abdominal muscles, water-fat imbalance, and a sluggish metabolism. 2. Hair fall & dull skin = loss of ojas and hormonal shifts. 3. Back and knee pain, cramps = aggravated Vata plus calcium and vitamin D deficiency after your C-section. 4. Tiredness = nutritional depletion and disrupted sleep.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅ For Weight & Belly Reduction

INTERNAL MEDICATION 1. Slim Lim: 2-0-2 after meals 2. Medohar Guggulu: 1-0-1 after meals

Tips 👉 Start your day with warm water mixed with a pinch of dry ginger powder.

👉 Try jeera–ajwain–methi water (boil 1 tsp of each in 1 liter of water, sip warm throughout the day) to help reduce bloating and tone your belly.

Light yoga: Bhujangasana, Setubandhasana, and Vajrasana breathing (only after your doctor gives the green light for post-C-section exercises).

Avoid cold, stale, and heavy foods – stick to warm, freshly cooked meals.

✅ FOR HAIR FALL AND SKIN

1. Narasimha Rasayanam (½ tsp daily) – great for nourishing your hair and skin. 2. Bhringamalakadi oil / Neelibhringadi oil – massage your scalp twice a week. 3. Kumkumadi taila – apply a few drops on your face to tackle pigmentation and dark spots.

✔️ Don’t forget to include ghee, soaked almonds, and sesame seeds in your diet for that natural skin and hair glow.

✅ FOR BACK AND KNEE PAIN / WEAKNESS

1. Dashmoolaristha (30 ml once daily, warm) – helps reduce cramps and Vata pain.

Abhyanga Warm oil massage (Dhanwantharam taila) on your back, 2 Shatavari kalpa (½–1 tsp with milk) – restores energy, balances hormones.

3 Rest and gentle pranayama (deep breathing, anulom-vilom).

✅SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES Haldi milk with nutmeg at night – improves sleep & pain.

Methi ladoos (if digestion allows) – classic postpartum strength food.

Your body is in recovery stage. With 3–6 months of gentle Ayurvedic rasayanas, oil massages, warm light diet, and mild yoga, you can regain strength, reduce belly fat, control hair fall, and improve skin glow.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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

HELLO SHEHNAZ,

After C- section delivery. Your body has gone through -Blood loss and tissue weakness (common after childbirth and surgery) -sleep disturbances, stress and lack of rest (due to baby care) -imbalance in digestion and metabolism-> causing sluggishness and weight gain -back pains and weakness-> due to aggravated vata dosha (the energy responsible for movement, bones and nervous system -Weight gain and heaviness-> due to Kapha dosha imbalance (responsible for fat storage and metabolism -Hair fall= due to vitamin D deficiency

So, in Ayurveda this looks like vata-kapha imbalance with tissue weakness

3) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 25ml + warm water twice daily before meals for 3 months =corrects vata imbalance, relieves joint pains, reduces postpartum weakness

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night =gentle detox, prevents constipation, improves metabolism, aids fat reduction

5) MEDOHARA GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 mnoths =reduces joint pain, helps in weight management, removes toxins

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

YOGA ASANAS -setu bandhasana= strengthens back and pelvis -bhujangasana= energizes, reduces stiffness -marjariasana= relieves back pain -balasana= calming, relieves fatigue -tadasana= improves posture

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances energy, calms mind -Bhramari= reduces stress, promotes relaxation -deep belly breathing= strengthens lungs, improves oxygenation

DIET -prefer warm, light, freshly prepared meals -eat at regular times, avoid overeating -use ghee in small amounts- strengthens body but doesn’t increase weight if digestion is good -drink warm water/herbal teas, avoid cold water -reduce sugar, fried foods, bakery, cheese, excess dairy -use digestive spices= ginger, cumin, coriander, black pepper, turmeric

Postpartum weight loss and recovery involve a combination of balanced nutrition, mindful physical activity, and addressing specific symptoms post-delivery. Consider the following Ayurvedic approach. For weight reduction, focus on a light, nutritious diet that pacifies the Kapha dosha, often linked with postnatal weight gain. Incorporate foods like barley, red rice, and seasonal vegetables. Spices like ginger, black pepper and turmeric can stimulate metabolism. Start your day with warm lemon water to enhance digestion and clear ama, or toxins.

Hair fall post-delivery can be linked to changes in hormones and Vata imbalance. Regularly apply Brahmi or Bhringraj oil on the scalp to nourish the hair. Consider Ashwagandha to balance stress hormones—it’s also rejuvenating for the body. All this will take sometime, patience is essential.

For energy and reduction of fatigue, focus on managing Vata—build a routine of moderate exercise like walking or yoga, beneficial for lowering stress and increasing energy levels. Fatigue may also be due to nutritional deficiencies; hence ensure a diet rich in iron and calcium.

Regarding back pain, the posture while feeding the baby is crucial, use pillows for support and change positions often. Masha (black gram) cooked in milk or with ghee is nourishing for the body and helps alleviate back pain and strengthen the muscles.

Addressing the ‘pregnant belly’ or abdominal fat, engage in gentle abdominal exercises postpartum, once cleared by your healthcare provider. Udwarthanam, a type of dry herbal powder massage, can be effective in reducing fat and toning the skin.

For facial acne and tanning, create a paste from turmeric and sandalwood with rose water, apply it gently on the face and wash it with cool water. Ensure you’re staying hydrated and eating fresh fruits including pomegranate which can help to cleanse your skin.

Knee pain and cramps require balancing Vata and adequate calcium intake. Guggulu formulations can be supportive; coupled with stretches to keep the joints mobile.

So, stay consistent with these suggestions and engage regularly with your healthcare provider for comprehensive support tailored to your specific needs. Adapt these recommendations according to how your body responds and find the balance that suits your postpartum journey.

Addressing postpartum challenges comprehensively requires balancing your physical state and understanding how the body changes after childbirth. Firstly, for postpartum weight reduction, focus on increasing metabolic activity and balancing your doshas. Light exercise, like brisk walking or yoga, can help restore your metabolism. A decoction made from cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and ajwain can aid digestion. Boil a teaspoon of each in a liter of water till it reduces a quarter, sip this throughout the day.

Now, about hair fall, it’s often due to hormonal changes and nutrient deficiencies post-delivery. Bhringraj oil is effective; apply it twice a week on the scalp to strengthen hair follicles. Internally, include amla in your diet—rich in vitamin C, it supports hair health. Natural sources of iron, like beetroot or spinach, are also beneficial.

Tiredness and back pain are common post-C-section. Strengthen your back and restore energy levels with gentle stretches. Ensure adequate rest, and consider a balanced diet that includes protein-rich foods like legumes and nuts. Ashwagandha can help combat fatigue by enhancing energy levels, take it in powdered form with milk daily.

For the persistent belly, massage the abdominal area with warm sesame oil which stimulates tissue repair and reduces bloating. A paste with turmeric, gram flour, and yogurt applied to the face can help address acne and tanning.

Knee pain and cramps often relate to kalcaium deficiency or poor circulation post-surgery. Use warm compresses on affected areas and take sesame seeds—rich in calcium. To promote circulation, massage kneees gently with warm oil.

These suggestions align with Siddha-Ayurveda principles, yet it’s crucial to consult with a specialist. This ensures your recommendations suit your body’s specific condition. If any symptoms feel extreme or worsening, seek prompt medical evaluation.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

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

Dr. 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. 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. 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.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

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.
