I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Hello Asgwini I understand your concern regarding allergic rhinitis. From what you describe, it seems like you are dealing with allergic rhinitis with nasal polyps and secondary bronchial involvement. But dont worry we are here to help you out🤭

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅FOR ALLERGIES AND NASAL POLYP

1 Haridra Khanda – 1–tsp daily with warm milk or water. Good for allergies and immunity.

2 Sitopaladi Churna + Honey – Take ½ tsp 2 times daily for sneezing and congestion.

3 Nasya Taila (Anu Taila ) – 2 drops lukewarm oil in each nostril in the morning, improves nasal health, reduces polyp swelling.

✅FOR WHEEZING / BRONCHITIS

1 Agastya Haritaki Rasayana – 1 tsp daily morning empty stomach follwed by warm water, useful for chronic cough and wheezing.

2 Trikatu Churna (Pippali, Black pepper, Ginger) – ½ tsp before food with honey, helps clear excess Kapha and improves breathing.

✅TO IMPROVE IMMUNITY

1 Guduchi 1 Tab daily – both reduce allergic tendencies and strengthen ojas (immunity).

✅HOME REMEDIES

Steam inhalation with a pinch of turmeric or ajwain (carom seeds) – reduces nasal blockage and polyp swelling.

Gargle with warm turmeric-salt water at night to prevent throat irritation and wheezing.

Mix honey + black pepper powder – small dose in the morning improves respiratory strength.

Drink warm water infused with Tulsi leaves – soothes bronchial irritation.

✅LIFESTYLE AND DIET TIPS

Avoid cold drinks, curd, banana, bakery foods, and refrigerated items (they aggravate Kapha and allergies).

Prefer warm water, light easily digestible meals, and include ginger, garlic, turmeric, tulsi, and black pepper.

Do Pranayama daily (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari, Kapalabhati in mild form) – helps reduce wheezing and clears nasal pathways.

Maintain regular sleep and stress management (stress worsens allergies/asthma).

For nasal polyps that are too large or blocking completely, surgery may sometimes be needed – Ayurveda can help reduce recurrence after surgery.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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.

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.

. Diet and Lifestyle Modifications Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of diet and lifestyle in managing chronic conditions.

Avoid Kapha-Aggravating Foods: This includes cold, oily, fried, sweet, and heavy foods. Dairy products (especially curd/yogurt), bananas, and refrigerated items should be minimized or avoided as they can increase mucus production.

Favor Warm, Pungent, and Light Foods: Incorporate warm, freshly cooked meals with spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric. Soups and broths are also beneficial.

Stay Warm and Avoid Cold Exposure: Protect yourself from sudden changes in temperature, cold air from fans and AC, and exposure to dust and other allergens.

Steam Inhalation: Inhaling steam, possibly with a few drops of eucalyptus oil, can help loosen mucus and clear congestion.

Pranayama and Yoga: Breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom and Bhramari can help strengthen the respiratory system, improve lung capacity, and reduce stress. Yoga postures such as Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) can also be beneficial.

1) Tab laxmivilas rasa-1tab 3 times with tulsi rasa and honey

2) sudarshan churna-3 gm +godanti bhasma 250 mg+ haridra khand 3 gm-- 3 times with warm water

3) syrup pushkaramrita -3 tsf after food with water 3 times

HELLO ASHWINI,

This is not just a cold, It’s a chronic allergy condition, likely allergic rhinitis or sinusitis from an ayurvedic point of view.

Ayurveda explains this kind of illness through dosha imbalance (vata, pitta, kapha) and Ama(toxins)

In your case

1) WEAK DIGESTION-> FORMATION OF AMA(TOXINS) -when digestion (agni) is weak, your body can’t digest food properly. -this creates sticky, toxic waste called “AMA” -Ama clogs your body’s channels and lowers your immunity (Ojas)

2) KAPHA + VATA IMBALANCE= breathing and cold issues -kapha is responsible for mucus, fluids, and structures - when kapha increases, it causes excess mucus, heaviness in head, blocked nose, sneezing, and cough. - Vata, which controls air and movement, becomes disturbed due to irregular eating, sleeping, and medicine use -vata then pushes kapha into wrong places- like your sinuses, lungs, and chest

THIS IS WHY YOU CAN FEEL -air is stuck or moving weirdly in your chest/stomach -your head feels full or blocked - you get instant relief when you eat warm food- because digestion slightly improves

3) CHEMICAL MEDICINES ONLY SUPPRESS- NOT CURE -Inhalers blocks the allergic reaction temporarily -but it doesn’t fix the root problem - over time, your body becomes dependent on the medicine, and the internal weakness increases

TREATMENT GOAL -balance vata and kapha doshas - remove toxins(ama) - boost agni(digestive power) - improve immunity - reduce dependence on chemical medicines -prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SHITOPALADI CHURNA+ GODANTI BHASMA + YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily with honey in morning and night for 3-6 months =for cough, cold, head heaviness

2) TRIBHUVAN KIRTI RAS= 125 mg twice daily after meals for 1 month =anti-viral, antipyretic, relieves congestion

3) HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk in morning and night for 3months =anti allergic, immunity booster

4) TALISADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with honey twice daily for 3 months =respiratory support

5) CHYAWANPRASHA(zandu brand)= 1 tsp daily in morning empty stomach for 6 months or more = rejuvenator, strengthens lungs and immunity

NASYA= 3 drops of ANU TAILA in each nostril daily in morning empty stomach =clears sinuses

IF AVAILABLE THIS TREATMENT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENEDED TO ELIMINATE THE ROOT CAUSE -VAMANA= for Kapha dosha(therapeutic vomiting)

EXTERNAL THERAPY

STEAM INHALATION with tulsi, eucalyptus, ajwain

WARM OIL MASSAGE on chest and back with KARPURADI TAILA

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED= pacify vata and kapha and avoid toxin formation

INCLUDE -warm, light, freshly prepared meals -moong dal, steamed vegetables, rice, ghee -spices=turmeric, ginger, cumin, black pepper, ajwain - herbal teas= tulsi, ginger, cinnamom -honey(never heated) -soups and warm water -goat milk or warm turmeric milk at night

AVOID -cold,refrigerated, or leftover food - curd, yogurt, cheese - milk + salt combination -oily, deep fried food - sugary or processed items - banana, especially at night - heavy legumes -rajma, chole etc

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early by 7am -nasya with Anu taila -warm water with lemon and honey - gentle stretching or yoga -avoid cold exposure or sudden temperature shifts

YOGA ASANA -bhujngasana -matsyasana -dhanurasana -Setu Bandhasana -suryanamaskar=5-6 rounds

PRANAYAM(highly effective) -Anulom-vilom= Balances Vata and kapha -Bhramari= relaxes mind, soothes sinuses -Kapalbhati= clears sinuses

HOME REMEDIES

1) TURMERIC MILK warm milk + 1/2 tsp turmeric + pinch black pepper before bed

2) GINGER TULSI TEA boil ginger , tulsi, cinnamon and sip throughout the day

3) AJWAIN POTLI STEAM dry roast ajwain, tie in cloth, inhale steam or place near pillow at night

4) HONEY AND CINNAMON 1/2 tsp honey + pinch cinnamon in morning

-This condition is manageable and reversible in Ayurveda with consistent treatment and lifestyle adjustments -It may take 3 to 6 months to reduce dependence on Antihistamines -keep regular follow ups -once body is detoxified and strengthened you’ll notice -less frequency and severity of symptoms -more energy - better sleep - no medicine dependency

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Controlling allergies that lead to symptoms like sneezing, stuffy nose, swollen polyps, and chest wheezing requires a comprehensive approach in Ayurveda. First, to address the allergic rhinitis, focus on strengthening the immune system and balancing the doshas, especially Kapha. Consider following these steps:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Reduce Kapha-aggravating foods such as dairy, gluten, and processed sugars. Opt for warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Spices like turmeric, ginger, and black pepper can help to pacify Kapha and Pitta, reduce inflammation, and aid digestion.

2. Nasya Therapy: Administering medicated oils into the nostrils can help cleanse and strengthen the nasal passages. You might use Anu Taila, an Ayurvedic nasal oil, which should be applied daily after steam inhalation. However, this should be done under the supervision of a practitioner.

3. Herbal Supplements: Consider herbs like Tulsi, Yashtimadhu (Licorice), and Haridra (Turmeric) to reduce inflammation and boost immunity. Bhumi Amla is also known for its potential in respiratory health.

4. Pranayama and Breathing Exercises: Regular practice of breathing exercises such as Anulom Vilom and Bhramari can help improve lung capacity and reduce wheezing. These exercises can ease bronchial congestion when practiced consistently.

5. Lifestyle Modifications: Avoid exposure to known allergens by maintaining a clean home environment. Use a humidifier if dry air exacerbates your symptoms.

6. Steam Inhalation and Gargling: Use steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil to open nasal passages and gargle with warm salt water to soothe the throat.

Ensure you consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor these suggestions to your condition. For immediate concerns like chest wheezing and potential bronchitis, seeking prompt medical attention is critical. The inhalers you’re using should continued as per your doctor’s advice. Integrate Ayurveda as a supportive practice, not a replacement for essential medical care, especially in acute conditions.

Allergies causing symptoms like sneezing and a stuffy nose can often lead to aggravation of Kapha dosha. When these symptoms aggravate, they can contribute to conditions like swollen polyps and chest wheezing. Managing this requires a holistic approach that balances doshas, improves agni, and calms the respiratory system.

First, focus on managing your environment. Ensure that areas where you spend time are free from dust, mold, and any other known allergens. Use natural cleaning agents and avoid synthetic fragrances which can trigger or worsen symptoms. Consider using an air purifier in spaces you frequent like your bedroom or office.

To specifically address the symptoms, steam inhalation can be quite beneficial. Adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to boiling water and inhaling the steam can relieve nasal congestion and help soothe the airways. Do this twice a day, espicially before bedtime to reduce symptoms through the night.

Diet plays a crucial role in Ayurveda. Try to avoid cold, heavy or oily foods that can increase Kapha. Incorporate more warming, light meals like ginger tea to enhance digestive fire. Including spices like turmeric and black pepper in your meals can also help reduce inflammation and clear congestion.

For swollen polyps and chronic nasal issues, the use of a neti pot with warm saline solution can be beneficial. Flushing out nasal passages helps reduce inflammation and keeps polyps from worsening. However, perform this with caution and cleanliness to avoid any bacterial contamination.

In cases where chest wheezing leads to bronchitis, triphala might be helpful. This herbal formulation aids in balancing the doshas and promoting lung health. Take triphala churna in warm water at night to help cleanse and strengthen respiratory pathways.

If symptoms worsen, or you find reliance on inhalers increasing, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider. In cases of severe asthma or bronchitis, immediate and allopathic medical intervention is often needed to prevent further complications. Balancing Ayurvedic remedies with modern medicine ensures you receive comprehensive care.

Always remember to consult with a qualified practitioner as they can provide personalized advice after examining your specific symptoms and constitution.

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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

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

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.
