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.

The Dosha Imbalance: Vata and Kapha Vata Dosha: Vata is associated with the elements of air and space and governs all movement in the body, including the vibration of the vocal cords. When Vata is aggravated, it can cause dryness, roughness, and a weak or trembling voice. This is the primary dosha involved in Swarabheda.

Kapha Dosha: Kapha, associated with earth and water, governs lubrication and stability. An imbalance in Kapha can lead to a phlegmy or obstructed voice, which may sound heavy or thick. In many cases of Swarabheda, both Vata and Kapha are imbalanced, creating a combination of dryness and obstruction.

Since your condition has lasted for three weeks, it’s considered chronic (laryngitis)or Swarabheda is often due to an accumulation of Vata and Kapha in the respiratory tract.

Ayurvedic Remedies to Regain Your Speech

Ginger and Honey: A classic remedy. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, and honey is a natural demulcent. Mix a teaspoon of ginger juice with a teaspoon of honey and lick it slowly throughout the day.

Turmeric Milk (Haldi Doodh): Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Drinking warm milk with a pinch of turmeric can help reduce throat inflammation and promote healing.

Tulsi (Holy Basil): Tulsi has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. You can chew on fresh Tulsi leaves or drink Tulsi tea.

Cardamom (Ela): Chewing on cardamom pods can help soothe the throat and balance Kapha.

Ghee: Consuming warm ghee or adding it to your food can help lubricate the throat and pacify Vata dosha’s dryness.

3. External Therapies:

Warm Water Gargles: Gargling with warm salt water or a decoction of triphala powder helps cleanse the throat and reduce inflammation.

Steam Inhalation (Sveda): Inhaling steam with a few drops of eucalyptus oil or a pinch of ajwain (carom seeds) can help open up the respiratory channels and reduce congestion.

Gandusha (Oil Pulling/Gargling): Gargling with warm sesame oil or coconut oil can hydrate the tissues of the throat and promote healing.

Nasya (Nasal Application of Oil): Applying a few drops of medicated oil, like Anu Taila or sesame oil, to each nostril can help lubricate the nasal passages and throat, a key treatment for Vata imbalances in the head and neck.

4. Lifestyle and Yoga:

Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water and herbal teas throughout the day.

Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of smoking, alcohol, and excessive caffeine, as these can dry out and irritate the vocal cords.

Pranayama: Gentle breathing exercises can help strengthen the respiratory system and vocal cords.

1) kantakari avaleha 1 tsf 2 times after food

2) vyoshadi vataka 250 mg - chewing for 5-6 times a day

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 Sara, I can understand your concern about losing your voice and difficulty in speaking for more than 3 weeks but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅DOSHA IMBALANCE in Voice Disorders

👉Vata imbalance – causes dryness, weakness of voice, inability to produce sound, or breaking of speech.

👉Pitta imbalance – leads to inflammation, burning, redness, irritation, and painful speaking.

👉Kapha imbalance – produces excess mucus, heaviness, throat congestion, and muffled or blocked voice.

In your case, since the voice has been weak and speech is difficult for 3 weeks, it is likely a Vata-Kapha predominance with some Pitta if there is irritation or soreness.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMEMT

✅INTERNAL MEDICINE

1 Kantakari ghrita 1 tsp morning, empty stomach followed by warm water 2 Yashtimadhu (Licorice) powder – half tsp with honey, slowly lick 2–3 times daily. Very soothing and rejuvenating for throat. 3 vyaghri haritaki kashyam 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water after food

✅HOME REMEDIES

Turmeric + Salt gargles – warm water gargle twice daily for inflammation and cleansing.

Steam inhalation – add tulsi leaves, ajwain seeds, or eucalyptus oil in boiling water, inhale steam 1–2 times daily.

Ginger tea with honey – improves circulation, reduces swelling, clears Kapha.

✅Pathya (Dietary Care)

Take warm, soft, soothing food – moong dal soup, vegetable soups, khichdi, warm milk with turmeric, honey water.

Sip warm water throughout the day to keep throat moist.

Avoid cold drinks, ice cream, sour curd, fermented food, spicy, oily, and very dry foods.

Avoid excess talking, whispering, or shouting – give complete rest to the vocal cords.

✅ LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Maintain voice hygiene – rest, avoid whispering (strains more than speaking).

Practice gentle Pranayama – bhramari (humming bee breath) and anulom-vilom, once your throat is better.

Avoid exposure to cold wind, dust, and excessive AC.

Reduce mental stress, as anxiety worsens Vata and weakens throat.

✅When to Seek Medical Help

Since the condition has been persisting for over 3 weeks, it is important to consult an ENT specialist to rule out conditions like

Laryngitis (chronic inflammation) Vocal cord nodules or polyps Acid reflux affecting throat Other structural issues Ayurvedic treatment can go hand in hand with modern evaluation for safe and faster recovery.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO SARA,

-You are experiencing loss of voice/ difficulty speaking for more than 3 weeks -In Ayurveda, this is called swarabheda (voice disturbance)

WHY IT HAPPENS (ayurvedic view) -Vata dosha involvement-> dryness, weakness of vocal cords, rough/broken voice -Kapha dosha imbalance-> excess mucus, throat, heaviness, blocked or muffled voice -Pitta imbalance (sometimes)-. burning, irritation, redness, swelling in the throat

So your case looks like a vata-kkapha imbalance : dryness + heaviness, making it difficult for sound to come out

TREATMENT GOALS -Soothe and heal vocal cords -balance vata and kapha through food, medicines, and therapies -Restore voice quality and prevent recurrence -address root cause like strain, lifestyle, diet triggers, or hidden illness

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 3gm with warm milk twice daily =soothes throat, coats mucosa, redcues dryness, restores voice

2) KANTAKARI AVALEHA= 1 tsp twice daily after meals =improves throat function, removes mucosa, strengthens respiratory tract

3) TALISADI CHURNA WITH HONEY= 3gm twice daily after meals =balances kapha, clears phlegm , improves speech clariy

4) KHADIRADI VATI= 1 tab to slowly dissolve in mouth , 3-4 times daily =direct local action on vocal cords, relieves irritation

DURATION= usually 4-6 weeks

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS

1) KAVALA/ GANDUSHA (gargling or oil holding in mouth) -warm water + turmeric + rock salt gargle daily -can also gargle decoction of triphala or yashtimadu -GOAL= cleanse throat, reduce inflammation, balance kapha

2) NASYA= 2 drops of warm Anu taila in each nostril every morning =lubricates throat, clears kapha from upper passages, strengthens vocal system

3) STEAM INHALATION with basil leaves, ajwian or plain water 1-2 times daily =soften throat tissues, loosen Kapha , open airways

DIET -prefer warm, soft, moist foods -soups, porridge, khichdi, moong dal -use ghee in diet- it lubricates vocal cords -take turmeric milk at night -use ginger, black pepper, cinnamon in mild amounts to balance kapha -drink warm water frequently - avoid cold drinks

AVOID -excess spicy, sour, and fried foods- irritate throat, increase pitta/kapha -dry foods like chips, crackers (aggravate vata) -cold and refrigerated foods- worsens kapha -overuse of voice- avoid shouting, prolonged talking, whispering

HOME REMEDIES 1) LICORICE TEA= 1 tsp yashtimadhu in 1 cup water sip warm

2) TURMERIC + GHEE PASTE= lick 1/2 tsp turmeric with 1 tsp ghee daily

3) HONEY + GINGER JUICE= 1 tsp honey + 3-4 drops ginger juice, once daily

4) WARM WATER GARGLE= with turmeric and rock salt, 2 times daily

5) STEAM INHLATION= add basil or ajwain, inhale for 5-10 minutes

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Bhramari= very beneficial for voice, hum gently, avoid strain -Ujjayi pranayam= gentle throat breathing, strengthens voice -Om chanting (softly, not loud)= vibrates vocal cords, helps healing -Gentle neck and throat relaxation exercises

Avoid Loud singing and forceful pranayam until voice recovers

Since this is lasting >3 weeks, it’s wise to also rule out medical causes . Please consult and ENT specialist to check -vocal cord nodules/ polyps (from strain) -chronic laryngitis (infection or irritation) -GERD (acid reflux affecting throat) -Rarely, neurological or structural causes

A laryngoscope may be recommended by ENT or visualise your vocal cord

-Your voice issue is most likely from vata-kapha imbalance -Ayurveda focuses on soothing the throat, lubricating vocal cords, clearing kapha, and restoring natural swara

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Losing your voice can often be linked to an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Vata, responsible for movement and communication, might be disturbed, leading to issues with voice and speech. Pitta, associated with heat and inflammation, might also be affecting your vocal cords if there’s any irritation or inflammation. To regain your voice, addressing these imbalances is essential.

Firstly, consider your diet. Emphasize warm, nourishing foods to pacify Vata—think of soups, stews, and porridges. Such foods calm Vata, while reducing dry, cold and raw foods like salads. For Pitta, reduce hot, spicy, and acidic foods, opting instead for cooling and soothing options like cucumbers, sweet fruits, and bitter greens.

Herbal teas can also be beneficial. Tulsi (holy basil) tea and mulethi (licorice) tea can soothe the throat and balance doshas. Tulsi helps reduce Vata’s airy nature, and mulethi is known for its demulcent, anti-inflammatory properties reducing Pitta’s heat.

Lifestyle adjustments play a crucial role too. Speaking less and resting your voice is crucial. Implementing Pranayama breathing exercises, particularly Sheetali or Anulom Vilom, can help to cool and calm the voice muscles and channels responsible for sound production. These practices also support the nervous system, enhancing overall Vata stability.

A soothing herbal gargle can be effective: boil water with a teaspoon of turmeric and a pinch of salt. Once cooled to lukewarm, gargle twice a day. This blend, with its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, can help soothe the affected area.

Finally, adequate rest and stress management are essential. Engaging in meditation or yoga can balance Vata, harmonizing your mental state, which, in turn, influences your physical health. As with many imbalances, consistency is key. Give these measures time, and if the voice loss continues, seeking medical attention is advised to rule out other underlying conditions.

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

Dr. 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. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

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. 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. 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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

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 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. 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.
