Hello Gita I can understand your concern regarding Eye problems associated with arthritis, gouty tendency. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Triphala Ghrita – 1 tsp at night with warm water/milk, nourishes eyes and gut.

2 Saptamrita Lauh 2-0-2 after food – for cataract & presbyopia, improves eye tissue health.

3 Punarnavadi Mandura 1-0-1 after food – for anaemia and high cholesterol tendency.

4Kaishore Guggulu 1-0-1 after food – helps joint stiffness + uric acid/gout tendency.

✅EXTERNAL EYE THERPIES

1 Netra Tarpana (therapeutic ghee pooling over eyes) with Triphala Ghrita – highly effective for cataracts and presbyopia (to be done in nearby panchakarma center )

2 Nasya Therapy – 2 drops of warm Anu Taila in each nostril in the morning to improve eye, nose, and head circulation.

✅HOME REMEDIES AND LIFESTYLE

Wash eyes twice daily with Triphala decoction water (strain well, use lukewarm).

Amla (Indian gooseberry) – fresh juice or powder daily, rich in Vitamin C, slows cataract.

Include carrots, beets, spinach, drumstick leaves, pumpkin, and almonds in diet – natural eye strengtheners.

Use pure cow’s ghee in food – nourishes eyes and joints.

Practice palming, blinking, near-far focus exercises for presbyopia.

Regular oil massage (Abhyanga) with sesame oil – balances Vata, helps stiffness.

Early bedtime, reduce screen glare, use protective glasses in sunlight.

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

Avoid excessive sour, salty, and fermented foods (they worsen arthritis + Pitta aggravation).

Prefer warm, light, easily digestible meals – moong dal, rice, leafy greens.

Reduce red chili, fried, and junk foods (oxidative stress increases cataract).

With consistent care, you can slow cataract growth, improve near vision strength, and also support joint and metabolic health naturally.

Wishing you a Good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Avoid sour and salty foods.

1. Triphala ghrita 1/2 tsp mixed with 1/2 tsp Triphala choornam + honey - twice daily after food. 2. Sapthamritha lauha 2-0-2 after food. 3. Ophthacare drops 1 drop thrice daily. 4. Triphala kashaya seka - Put 1 spoon choornam in 200 ml water and boil till it becomes half, let it cools down and you can pour it over closed eyes.

For knee stiffness and other complaints, 1. Punarnavadi kashayam 15 ml + 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food. 2. Kottamchukkadi choornam mixed with dhanyamla lepa for 20 minutes and wash off with warm water. ( For 1 week). 3. Then start tailam application with kottamchukkadi and observe if the pain is increasing or decreasing. If the pain increases by tailam application, continue lepana with choornam for 1 week and then tailam.

Is there any confusion in treatments you can contact me.

Take care, Dr. Shaniba

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.

HELLO GITA,

-PRESBYOPIA= (age-related decline in near vision) corresponds to Timira in Ayurveda, caused mainly by Vata aggravation with age

-CATARACT (early lens opacity) is correlated with kacha/Linganasa stages, usually from vata-pitta vitiation leading to dhatu kshaya (tissue depletion) and accumulation of Ama at the Netra mandala

-PREDISPOSING FACTORS IN YOU : -Vata increase post menopause-> dryness, stiffness, presbyopia -Pitta involvement-> early degeneration, optic nerve history, cholesterol/lipid derangements -Ama + rakta involvement-> gout tendency, joint stiffness, cataract progression.

MANAGEMENT GOALS -pacify vata pitta and clear ama -strengthen Netra dhatus (eye tissues, optic nerve, lens) -Support digestion and metabolism to prevent ama deposition -Nourish joints and prevent uric acid aggravation

1) DIET -warm, freshly cooked, light to digest food -Ghee- small amounts, esp.medicated ghee like Mahatriphala ghrita -Moong dal, barley, red rice, seasonal vegetables well cooked -Amla, pomegranate, coriander, fennel, turmeric -Soaked raisins, dates in moderation (for anemia)

AVOID -sour, fermented food -pickles, curd at night, vinegar-> aggravates joints and eye problems -Excess salt, fried, oily food, refined suagr-> worsens pitta/vata + cholestrol -Heavy pulses like chana, rajma, urad (gas forming) -Cold and stale food

2) LIFESTYLE -Regular gentle yoga= Trakata Kriya (with candle or black dot= 1-2 min only) -Netra vyayama (palming, eye rotations), -Pranayam (Anulom vilom, Bhramari, Shetali for pitta -Oil massage= warm sesame oil with a pinch of turmeric for knees/fingers -Sleep= ensure 7 hours, avoid late nights (vata-pitta gets deranged) -Protect eyes from strong sunlight, wind, and excessive screen use

3) INTERNAL MEDICINES

-MAHATRIPHALA GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =excellent for eyes + constipation + vata pitta balance

-SAPTAMRITA LOHA= 2 tabs in morning with ghee =for eyes, anemia, vata pita pacification

-PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals =for anemia + mild water retention + cholestrol balance

-YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =for arthritic stiffness + uric acid tendency

-AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp in morning =daily for eyes, pitta balance and anti ageing

LOCAL EYE THERAPIES (usually done at Ayurvedic clinic) -Netra Tarpana with Jivantyadi ghrita= deeply nourishing for early cataract and presbyopia -Anjana (collyrium)- mild triphala collyrium or Sauviranjana application weekly -Nasya= Anu taila 2 drops each nostril daily morning= clears channels, benefits eyes and joints

HOME REMEDIES -Triphala churna tea= soaked overnight wash eyes with filtrate In morning -Fresh amla juice 20 ml with honey In morning drink empty stomach -1 Tsp turmeric + ghee in warm water daily to pacify inflammation

PROGNOSIS -Presbyopia cannot be reversed fully but progression can be slowed, and accommodative powder improved with regular eye therapy and rejuvination -Early cataract= Ayurveda has documented success in slowing/reversing initial stages with ghee based therapies, Netra Tarpana, and internal support. consistency is key (3-6 months minimum)

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

1.Triphala ghrita 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk or water before meals 2.Punaranava mandoor 2 tab twice daily after meals with water’ 3.Kaishore guggulu 2 tab twice daily after meals with water 4.Arjunarishta 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals

✅ Supportive Practices - Warm oil massage with Mahanarayan Taila or Dhanwantharam Taila—especially knees and fingers. - Gentle yoga: Focus on joint mobility, spine elongation, and breath-led movement. - Pranayama: Anulom Vilom and Bhramari to calm Vata and Pitta. ❌ Avoid - Sour fruits (especially citrus), fermented foods, and excess salt. - Cold, raw, or dry foods—favor warm, spiced, and cooked meals. - Overexertion or fasting, which aggravates Vata and weakens tissues.

For your early cataracts and presbyopia, or age-related vision changes, Ayurveda suggests a holistic approach that targets the root imbalances. Being Pitta-Vata dominant, your eye conditions may be linked to imbalances in these doshas. Time to focus on cooling, nourishing, and grounding practices.

Start with your diet, important for maintaining balance. Ensure you consume ghee regularly, known in Ayurveda for eye health and calming vata. Preferably take a teaspoon in warm water every morning. Also, your meals should include plenty of leafy greens, like spinach or kale, as these are high in lutein, beneficial for vision. Avoid excessive sour and salty items, aligning with your observation, as these can aggravate Pitta and Vata imbalances.

An excellent herbal remedy involves Triphala. Take Triphala powder nightly, mixed in warm water, to regulate your digestive fire, maintain bowel regularity — essential for eye health, and reduce inflammation. You could further enhance this by using Triphala eye wash: steep a teaspoon of Triphala powder in water overnight, strain it, and use the liquid to rinse your eyes in morning. This may help with the early stages of cataract and eye strain.

For the anaemia, amla (Indian gooseberry) can be beneficial due to its high Vitamin C content, it enhances iron absorption. You might consider consuming amla juice first thing in the morning. This not only supports your vision but works on your long-standing anaemia.

Seeking out physical therapies like Netra Tarpana (eye ghee bath) under a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner might prove potentially helpful for strengthening the eyes and addressing dryness and strain.

Finally, practice daily gentle yoga, focusing on asanas that include headstands, shoulder stands, or simply legs-up-the-wall pose if more doable. This enhances circulation to the head region and potentially supports eye health. For stress and better sleep which often have critical impact on eye health, consider meditation or pranayama techniques like Nadi Shodhana.

Keep close track of your body’s response to these strategies, and adjust as needed. Of course, it’s pivotal to have regular follow-ups with your eye doctor to monitor your eye health, since cataracts may require surgical intervention if they progress.

Based on your detailed history, let’s explore the situation. Your early cataracts and presbyopia relate to both vata and pitta imbalances, considering your prakriti. These eye issues often stem from vata drying tissues and pitta causing inflammation and heat, affecting ocular functions. We’ll aim to balance both doshas while enhancing ojas, which is vital energy crucial for eye health.

Start with dietary adjustments. Avoid overly sour, salty, or pungent foods as they aggravate vata and pitta. Favor sweet, mild, and cooling foods, which soothe these doshas. Include foods like ghee, freshly cooked greens, mung beans, and whole grains such as quinoa and boiled rice. Almonds and soaked dates can enrich your diet with essential nutrients. Use turmeric and coriander, both help alleviate pitta inflammation and balance vata.

Incorporate Triphala in your routine, known for its rejuvenating effects on the eyes. Take half a teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water before bedtime. Also, try plain Triphala eye washes – dissolve some Triphala in cooled, boiled water and use once it’s well settled and strained. It helps cleanse and nourish ocular tissues.

Conduct daily Abhyanga with warm sesame oil, focusing on stiff joints and fingers, enhancing blood circulation and reducing stiffness. Yoga and pranayama are beneficial too, particularly asanas like Trikonasana and Surya Namaskar, and nonspecific kapalbhati breathwork for overall balance. These aid in stabilizing vata-induced stiffness and pitta-driven inflammation.

Regarding traditional preparations, Nilavembu Kudineer, which soothes pitta and supports eye and joint health, can be tried in moderation but consult a practitioner for specific doses. Consider a comprehensive blood workup to track anemia and cholesterol – try to harmonize your culinary approach by integrating beetroot juice and amla for improving hemoglobin levels effectively and gradually.

While these guidelines provide some direction, personal follow-up with an Ayurvedic practitioner is vital for precise modulation tailored to your body’s specific needs and responses.

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.
