Hello Pradeep

Thank you for your detailed query, Pradeep At 23 years, you’re experiencing: -Frequent urge to pass stool (3–4 times daily) -Incomplete evacuation feeling -Anxiety before travel making it worse -Hair fall also associated

This points towards a functional digestive issue rather than a severe disease.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT-

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Kutajghan Vati 2-0-2 after food – reduces frequent stools and regulates digestion.

2 Dadimashtak Churna 1 tsp with warm water just before lunch – balances Vata-Pitta in intestines.

3.Sootashekhara Rasa 2-0-2 after food

4 Dadimadi ghrita 1 tsp followed by warm water at bed time

✅HOME REMEDIES

1. Buttermilk therapy – churned buttermilk with roasted cumin + pinch of rock salt daily.

2. Pomegranate juice – regulates digestion and stops frequent loose urges.

3. Banana + warm milk – helps binding stool and calms Vata.

4. Methi (fenugreek) seeds soaked overnight, taken in morning – improves gut lining & prevents hair fall.

5. Ghee (1 tsp with warm rice/khichdi) – lubricates intestines & helps proper evacuation.

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

Prefer warm, freshly cooked food – khichdi, moong dal soup, rice, cooked vegetables.

Avoid raw salads, very spicy food, excess tea/coffee, cold drinks – they disturb digestion.

Take small, frequent meals rather than large heavy meals.

Add ginger, ajwain, black pepper in food – improves Agni.

✅ LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Yoga- Pawanmuktasana, Vajrasana (after meals), Malasana – improve bowel evacuation.

Pranayama: Anulom-Vilom, Bhramari – calm anxiety & reduce travel-related urgency.

Routine: Eat and sleep on time, avoid late-night meals.

✅ HAIR FALL CONNECTION

Your digestion problem – poor absorption of nutrients —hair fall.

👉use Neelibhringadi taila for hair 👉Herbal based shampoo for cleasing

Your condition is functional and curable with proper digestive correction. Focus on Agni improvement, gut-calming foods, and stress management.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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.

. Incomplete Bowel Evacuation and Frequent Stools

Vata Imbalance: Vata dosha governs all movement in the body, including the downward movement of waste (Apana Vayu). An imbalance in Vata can lead to irregular bowel movements, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, and often, stools that are hard, dry, or pellet-like. The feeling that your stomach is not completely cleared is a key indicator of imbalanced Vata.

Pitta Imbalance: Pitta dosha is associated with heat and metabolism. When Pitta is imbalanced, it can cause excessive heat in the digestive tract, leading to a faster transit time and more frequent, looser stools. The frequency you describe (3-4 times a day) can be a sign of aggravated Pitta. A healthy Pitta constitution may naturally have two complete bowel movements a day, but more than that can signal an issue.

Ama (Toxins): The feeling of incomplete clearing can also be a sign of Ama, or undigested food and metabolic waste, that has accumulated in the digestive tract. This can be caused by a weakened digestive fire (Agni).

2. Urge to Pass Stool with Travel and Stress

This is a classic example of the mind-gut connection in Ayurveda.

Vata and Stress: Vata dosha is highly connected to the nervous system. When you experience stress, anxiety, or change (like traveling), Vata can become aggravated. This nervous energy directly impacts the colon, which is the primary seat of Vata. This can lead to increased motility and the urgent need to pass stool.

3. Hair Fall Pitta Imbalance: In Ayurveda, hair health is closely linked to Pitta dosha and the health of the bone tissue (Asthi Dhatu). Excessive Pitta can manifest as heat in the body, which can “burn” the hair follicles, leading to thinning and hair fall.

Asthi Dhatu: Healthy hair is a byproduct of healthy bones and tissues. Poor digestion and nutrient absorption can weaken the formation of these tissues, contributing to hair fall.

Diet and Lifestyle: Eat Mindfully: Eat in a calm, quiet environment without distractions. Avoid eating when stressed or anxious.

Warm, Cooked Foods: Favor warm, cooked, and well-spiced foods to support digestion. Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods, which can aggravate Vata.

Regular Routine: Maintain a consistent eating and sleeping schedule to calm Vata.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day. Starting your morning with a glass of warm water can help stimulate bowel movements.

Manage Stress: Practice stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises (Pranayama). Certain yoga poses like twists can help stimulate digestion.

Abdominal Massage: Gently massage your abdomen in a clockwise motion to support the downward movement of Vata and aid in elimination.

Avoid Suppressing Urges: Do not ignore the natural urge to pass stool.

Herbal and Home Remedies:

Triphala: This is a cornerstone of Ayurvedic digestive health. It is a blend of three fruits (Amalaki, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki) that works to balance all three doshas.

take 1-2 teaspoons of Triphala powder with warm water before bed to support regular, complete bowel movements.

Ghee: Ghee lubricates the digestive tract and can help soften stools, which is beneficial for Vata imbalance.

add a teaspoon of ghee to a glass of warm milk at bedtime.

Fennel and Cumin: These spices are excellent for digestion. You can sip on a tea made from roasted fennel seeds and cumin after meals.

For Hair Fall: Consider oils and herbs that pacify Pitta and nourish the tissues, such as Bhringraj and Amla. Regular scalp massages with Bhringraj oil can be beneficial.

Experiencing frequent bowel movements and an incomplete feeling of stomach emptying can point to an imbalance of Vata dosha, primarily due to irregular Agni (digestive fire). It’s essential to address this holistically to restore balance. Begin with adjusting your diet to enhance digestion and reduce Vata disturbances. Incorporate warm, slightly oily, and easily digestible foods like rice, lentils, and cooked vegetables. Avoid raw salads, cold beverages, and vata-aggravating foods like dry beans and cruciferous vegetables.

Each morning start with a glass of warm water with a pinch of lemon and a spoon of honey to stimulate your digestive system. Regular meal times play an essential role in supporting Agni. Eating at consistent intervals aids digestion and reduces stress on the digestive system, helping regulate bowel movements.

Triphala powder, a classic Ayurvedic formulation, is beneficial for promoting regular bowel movements. Take one teaspoon of this powder with warm water before bedtime. It gently cleanses the colon and supports digestion without causing dependency or negative effects.

Stress and anxiety can exacerbate digestive troubles, particularly if your symptoms worsen when planning travel. Practicing Yoga and Pranayama like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) can soothe the nervous system and reduce stress.

Hairfall may be linked to poor absorption of nutrients, often seen in those experiencing frequent bowel movements. Enhancing digestion with the previous steps will support better nutrient absorption. Additionally, a scalp massage with bhringraj oil or coconut oil, 2-3 times a week, nourishes hair roots and supports hair health.

If symptoms persist or worsen consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner or modern medical practitioner for deeper analysis and tailored treatment. Immediate consultation is adviced for any sudden or severe symptoms.

HELLO PRADEEP,

YOU MENTIONED -Stool 3-4 times/day -feeling your stomach is not completely empty -hair fall -urge to pass stool increases with stress or thinking about travel

FROM AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE

1) VATA IMBALANCE= vata controls movement in the body, including the intestines. when Vata is imbalanced -stools may come too frequently -you feel incomplete evacuation -you may have anxiety about bowel movements

2) PITTA INVOLVEMENT= pitta governs digestion and metabolism. If aggravated -stool may be soft -hair fall increases -burning sensations, acidity, or mild inflammation may appear

3) DIGESTIVE FIRE WEAKNESS= weak agni leads to incomplete digestion and poor nutrient absorption which can cause -feeling your stomach is not fully cleared -hair fall (since hair needs proper nutrition)

4) STRESS RELATED VATA AGGRAVATION= thinking about travel or stressful situations can trigger the urge to pass stool even if there’s no real need. This is called Manas (mind) Vata disturbance

In simple terms= your digestive system is “overactive” due to vata and pitta imbalance, and stress makes it worse. Nutrient absorption is low, leading to hairfall

TREATMENT GOALS -Balance vata and pitta= stabilize bowel movements and reduce urgency -Strengthen agni(digestive fire)= improve digestion and nutrient absorption -Promote complete bowel evacuation=avoid incomplete stools -Reduce hair fall= nourish the body and scalp -Reduce stress and anxiety= calm the mind, especially regarding bowel urgency -Support overall gut health= restore proper, rhythm and function

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water for 4-6 weeks =supports gentle bowel movements, balances vata in intestines

2) ISABGOL = 1 tsp with warm water once daily at night for 3-4 weks =bulk forming, eases complete evacuation

3) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water after meals for 3-4 weeeks =improves digestion, reduces bloating, and incomplete evacuation

4) BHRINGARAJ + AMLA + BRAHMI CHURNA= mix 1 tsp with warm water twice daily =nourihes hair, pacifies pitta

5) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 cap 500mg twice daily for 4-6 weeks =reduces stress-induced bowel urgency, calms vata

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= warm sesame oil full body massage daily =reduces vata, improves circulation , nourishes skin and hair

2) HAIR OIL MASSAGE= with Neelibringadi taila daily massage for15 min then wash with normal water

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -Avoid traveling immediately after meals -walk 10-15 minutes after meals to aid digestion -avoid long gaps without food; don’t overeat -keep calm and avoid anxiety about bowel movements -manage stress with gentle daily routines

YOGA ASANAS FOR DIGESTION AND VATA BALANCE -vajrasana= aids digestion -pawanmuktasana= relieves bloating -malasana= supports proper bowel movement -bhujangasana/ardha matsyendrasana= gentle twists to stimulate digestive organs

PRANAYAM FOR CALMING VATA AND ANXIETY -Anulom vilom= 5-10 minutes daily -Bhramari= reduces mental stress -Deep diaphragmatic breathing= helps calm bowel urgency

DIET -warm, cooked, easily digestible foods -khichdi, dal, cooked vegtables -moderate fiber, avoid raw salads if stools become loose -warm herbal teas= cumin, coriander, fennel -avoid very spicy, oily, heavy foods, excessive coffee or tea -include nourishing foods for hair : almonds, sesame seeds, leafy greens, amla

HOME REMEDIES -cumin-coriander-fennel tea after meals to aids digestion -massage scalp with warm coconut or sesame oil 2-3 times a week to reduce hairfall -soaked almonds (5-6 daily) for nourishment

INVESTIGATION TO CONSIDER -CBC= check for anemia -Thyroid profile= Hairfall can be related to thyroid -Stool routine and culture= rule out infections or malabsorption -Vitamin D , b12, iron= deficiencies can contribute to hairfall -Colonoscopy

-Your condition is mainly vata-pitta imbalance with weak digestion -treatment is multi pronged: Internal herbal support, external therapies, diet, lifestyle, yoga, stress management -Home remedies and dietary habits are essential along with medicines -avoid stress, particularly before travel, and maintain routine

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Your concerns suggest imbalances primarily related to Vata dosha, which governs all movement in the mind and body, including elimination and travel-related anxiety. An overactive mind and digestive interruptions may lead to the symptoms you’re experiencing, including incomplete bowel evacuation and increased stool frequency.

To begin addressing this, consider tweaking your daily routine to balance Vata. Begin your day with a glass of warm water to stimulate digestive fire, or agni, supporting proper elimination. Around meal times, incorporate cooked foods that are lightly spiced and warm, avoiding raw foods and cold drinks which may aggravate your condition. Add ginger and ajwain seeds to your food as they are known to enhance digestion and calm Vata.

Practice deep breathing exercises or pranayama daily, especially Ujjayi or Anulom Vilom, which helps soothe the nervous system and mitigate stress linked to frequent travel and bowel habits.

Oil massage, or Abhyanga, with sesame oil may also be beneficial. Massaging the abdomen gently in a clockwise direction and finishing with a warm shower can promote digestion.

Regarding your hairfall, ensure adequate nourishment of the dhatus (tissues). Incorporate foods rich in good fats, like nuts and seeds, and practice Shiro Abhyanga (head massage) using bhringraj oil, which can help promote scalp health and strengthen hair.

Lastly, moderation in travel and maintaining regular meal timings will aid your digestion. If symptoms continue unrelieved despite these measures, visiting an Ayurvedic practitioner for more personalized guidance is recommended.

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. 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. 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. 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.

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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.
