Avni

MH- regular , 3-5 days duration,max 2 pads, sometimes, associated with backache, abdominalpain but not severe. Medication history: left thyroid tb since 6 months with medical advice,since a month she had cough for which she took some allopathy medicines for almost 20 days as it was not reducing at all with dr advice. He said it's just allergy and due to cold weather. No birth pills or any hormone related pills , she had underwent tubectomy yrs back So suddenly today she had pricking sensation and was on periods and passed the triangular shaped with cloths which came as a whole layer. So shouldI ignore it as it's first and associated with any other symp. Can u say some diet or foods which she can follow to reduce pain or such occurrence in future, which fruit or pulse is good what she should avoid, any yoga postures Or should I go for any scan (Also I want to know the ayurvedic references if it can be correlated to anything in samhitas)

Hello Avni ji,

You shared that you passed a decidual cast (a triangular piece of tissue that comes out of the uterus in one piece, shaped like the uterine cavity). I understand this must have been worrying but dont worry we are here to guide you😊

✅ What is a Decidual Cast?

It happens when the entire lining of the uterus (endometrium) sheds all at once instead of gradually. It looks triangular (like the uterus) and may have blood clotts

if it is associated with severe pain, heavy bleeding, fever, or irregular cycles, then you should definitely go for an ultrasound scan to rule out fibroid, polyp, or endometrial pathology.

✅ What You Should Do Next

1. Medical check – If this is the first time and bleeding is not excessive, you may observe.but do a pelvic ultrasound.

2. Monitor symptoms – Keep a diary of your cycles, flow, clots, pain, and other symptoms.

3. Check thyroid regularly – since you already have thyroid issue, as it sometimes affects menstrual health.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Since she has passed a large triangular shaped cloth during period, even though the pain is mild, this shouldn’t be ignored. I strongly advise you to show her to a gynaecologist as soon as possible and get a pelvic ultrasound to rule out any underlying issues such as fibroids, polyps, or other urine abnormalities early evaluation is important to ensure everything is safe and to prevent any complications

Passing a decidual cast, which is the shedding of the entire lining of the uterus in one piece, can be alarming but is sometimes a rare incident that can occur without underlying problems. However, it’s important to address this with caution, especially if it recurs. While it may not always signify a serious issue, it’s wise to consult with a medical professional to discuss the possibility of further investigation if symptoms persist or you feel uncertain.

In Ayurveda, this condition might relate to an imbalance in the Apana Vata, which governs the downward energy flows including menstruation. Addressing this imbalances through diet and lifestyle changes can be beneficial.

For diet, consider incorporating foods that balance Vata such as warm, moist, and grounding foods. Cooked grains like rice and oatmeal, cooked vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes, and warm milk with a pinch of turmeric can be soothing. Avoid excessively cold, dry, or raw foods as they may aggravate Vata dosha. Take in fruits like ripe bananas or papayas in moderation, as these are grounding and can help with digestion too. Pulses like green mung dal are easy to digest and ideal for a Vata balancing diet.

For yoga, gentle poses like “Supta Baddha Konasana” (Reclined Bound Angle Pose) can be helpful for alleviating menstrual discomfort. “Viparita Karani” (Legs-Up-the Wall Pose) can be relaxing and soothe lower back pain. Try these poses with a relaxed, deep breathing pattern.

If this incident was truly a one-time event, it might be managed through these lifestyle and diet changes, but if it reoccurs, a scan or further investigation might be wise to rule out any underlying conditions. Remember, consulting an allopathic physician alongside Ayurvedic advice can provide a comprehensive understanding of your health. And finally, while classical Ayurvedic texts like Charaka Samhita or Sushruta Samhita may not document a decidual cast directly, their overarching principles of balance and holistic health are certainly applicable in guidance.

Passing a decidual cast, while uncommon, can be startling. It sometimes occurs due to hormonal fluctuations that lead to the shedding of the endometrial lining in a more formed manner. In your specific scenario, given the recent history of allopathic medications and allergies, there could be a complex interplay affecting your reproductive health or hormonal balance. Though not always serious, it is important to keep a watchful eye, especially since this is the first occurrence. An ultrasound scan can offer clarity on any underlying disorders like endometrial thickening, and facilitate informed treatment planning if necessary.

For your dietary habits, consider integrating foods that pacify dosha imbalances and support the uterus’ health. Warm, cooked, and easy-to-digest foods in particular, can be favorable, aligning with Ayurvedic principles. Turmeric, ginger, and garlic can help. Fruits like pomegranate and raisins, and pulses like moong dal could provide gentle support. Minimize cold, raw foods that might increase vata dosha, potentially causing or worsening pain.

To potentially alleviate pain or prevent recurrence, she might integrate simple yoga postures to balance the doshas and enhance circulation, like Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) and Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose). Gentle stretching and regulation of breath also help with reducing stress and promoting hormonal balance. Drinking warm water infused with cumin might foster digestive fire, maintaining doshic balance and supporting overall wellness.

In Siddha or Ayurvedic texts, passing of structured menstrual flow is sometimes linked with pitta-vata imbalances. Managing these doshas with natural approaches can complement diagnosis by a professional. Should further symptoms emerge, seek immediate evaluation by a healthcare provider. Balancing daily routines with relaxation will aid in achieving optimal health emotional and physical well-being.

HELLO AVNI,

You experienced passing a decimal cast- that’s when the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) comes out in one big piece, like a triangular sheet, instead of breathing into small pieces.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN? -Normally, the uterine sheds gradually during periods -sometimes due to hormonal changes, stress, thyroid imbalance, or after illness/medications, the lining thickens or becomes unstable, and then sheds all at once. -It looks scary but in many cases, it is not dangerous if it happens just once and you don’t have other warning signs

WHEN TO WORRY? -if you keep getting similar clots or casts repeatedly -If bleeding is very heavy, with dizziness or weakness -If pain is unbearable -If there is foul-smelling discharge (infection) -If you suspect pregnancy/miscarriage

In Ayurveda, this can be understood as a type of Artava dushti (vitiation of menstrual blood) -likely due to vata vitiation (causing sudden pricking pain and abnormal shedding) with some kapha association (thick layer- like clot) -The root cause is agni imbalance (digestive/metabolic fire disturbed after long illness/medications) -Because you had thyroid disorder + cough + allopathic drugs , your doshas were disturbed, affecting menstrual balance

TREATMENT GOALS -Correct agni (digestive/metabolic fire)-> so tissues form properly -Balance vata in apana region-> ensure smooth, pain free, regular menstrual flow -Nourish rakta dhatus-> prevent weakness and improve uterine lining quality -strengthen uterus and hormonal balance-> stress relief, yoga and pranayam

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily = strengthen uterus, regulates bleeding , balances hormones -classical reference :- Charaka Samhita mentions Ashoka bark as artava shuddhikara

2) KUMARYASAVA= 15ml with equal water after meals twice daily =balances apana vata, regulates menstrual cycle, improves digestion

3) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 25ml with water twice daily before meals =relieves pain, balances vata-kapha, reduces cramps/backache

4) SUKUMARAM KASHAYA = 15ml with twice warm water twice daily =vata anulomana (corrects downwards movement of vata), relieves painful menses

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals with warm water =supports reproductive health, balances hormones, prevents congestion

DURATION= usually 2-3 menstrual cycles

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE = warm sesame oil on lower abdomen + gentle circular massage, then warm compress (reduces cramps, relaxes apana vata)

2) YONI PICHU= medicated oil tampon

DIET -warm, freshly cooked food with ghee or sesame oil -fruits= pomegranate, papaya, grapes, apple, banana -vegetables= pumpkin, beetroot, drumstick, spinach (but avoid raw salads during periods) -Pulses= green gram massor dal -spices= cumin , fennel, ajwain, turmeric, hing (help digestion and reduces cramps) -Herbal teas= ginger-tulsi tea, cumin fennel coriander water

AVOID -cold/stale food, excess curd, ice creams, cold drinks -too much sour/spicy, fried or oily food -excess coffee, tea, or stimulants -long gaps between meals aggravates vata

YOGA ASANAS -supta baddha konasana -setu bandhasana -balasana -baddha konasana

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom -Bhramari -Sheetali

LIFESTYLE RULES -during periods= rest more, avoid heavy exercise, avoid cold exposure, avoid suppressing natural urges -Maintain regular sleep, avoid late nights -Stress management :- meditation, journaling, or pranayam

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -warm water bottle over abdomen for cramps -ajwain + jaggery decoction-> relieves menstrual pain -mix 1/2 tsp dry ginger + jaggery in warm water-> vata pacification and pain relief -fennel tea after meals-> improves digestion + relieves cramps

-One time decimal cast is usually harmless and linked to temporary hormonal imbalance -Ayurveda explains this as Artava dushti with vata-kapha involvement -Management involves balancing vata, strengthening uterus, correcting digestion, and supporting rakta dhatu -with diet, lifestyle, yoga and simple formulations recurrence can be prevented

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

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. 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. 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. 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. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

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.

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.
