Dr. Khushboo
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

This is a comprehensive set of concerns, and it’s excellent that you’ve already adopted a healthy diet and exercise routine. . Your symptoms suggest a potential imbalance, likely involving Pitta (fire/metabolism) and Kapha (earth/water/structure) doshas, which are key to understanding the root cause in Ayurveda.

1. Skin Concerns: Oily Skin, Wrinkles, Dark Spots (Hyperpigmentation)

In Ayurveda, skin issues like hyperpigmentation and oily skin are often linked to an imbalance of Pitta (heat, inflammation, blood impurities) and sometimes excess Kapha (oiliness).

Internal Balance (Diet & Lifestyle): Focus on Pitta-Pacifying Foods: Your current diet (chicken, fish, salmon, salad, sweet potatoes, water) is generally good, but you may need to reduce excess heat. Be mindful of very hot/spicy foods, excessive consumption of citrus (like lots of orange juice/lemon water), or overly sour foods, as these can aggravate Pitta.

Aloe Vera: Cooling and healing. Use fresh gel internally (a small amount) and externally.

Hydration: Continue drinking plenty of water. Room temperature or warm water is preferred over cold.

External Care (Products & Routine): Cleanse: Use a gentle, herbal cleanser. Look for ingredients like Neem or Gram Flour (Besan), which help manage oil and cleanse without stripping the skin.

Tone: Rose water is a classic Pitta-pacifying toner. Masks/Spot Treatment: Sandalwood (Chandan) and Rose Water Paste: Sandalwood is very cooling and helps with dark spots and heat-related issues.

Moisturize/Oil: For wrinkles, consider a few drops of an Ayurvedic oil like Kumkumadi Tailam at night. Although your skin is oily, these oils are formulated to balance the skin and can be applied sparingly to address wrinkles and dark spots.

Sun Protection: This is critical for hyperpigmentation, especially for darker skin tones. Ayurveda emphasizes protection from direct, intense sun, which is a major Pitta aggravator. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

2. Hair Loss, Fallout, Breakage, Bald Spots, and Edges

Hair issues are typically seen as a Pitta and Vata imbalance. Pitta-related loss often involves heat, inflammation, and thinning, while Vata-related loss involves dryness, breakage, and damage. Your symptoms suggest a need to cool Pitta and nourish Vata.

Ayurvedic Approach & Advice:

Internal Nourishment (Diet & Supplements): Nourish the Dhatus (Tissues): Hair is a by-product of bone tissue. Ensuring good nutrition helps. Your current diet with fish, salmon, nuts, and seeds is good for protein and healthy fats.

External Care (Routine & Products): Oil Massage (Shiro Abhyanga): This is essential. Use warm herbal oils 1-3 times a week before washing. Bhringaraj oil, Brahmi oil, or Coconut oil (Coconut is very cooling and good for Pitta-related heat/inflammation). Sesame oil is good for Vata/dryness. You may need a blend. Gently massage the scalp, especially the edges, for 10-15 minutes to increase circulation.

Gentle Cleansing: Avoid harsh shampoos. Look for natural cleansers like Shikakai or Reetha (soap nuts). Avoid Heat Damage: Minimize heat styling, chemical treatments, and tight styles that stress the edges. The breakage and damage suggest a need to address the Vata element of dryness and lack of lubrication.

3. Abdominal Fat Loss and Waist Reduction

Excess abdominal fat is predominantly an accumulation of Kapha dosha, which is characterized by heaviness, stagnation, and fat tissue accumulation (Meda Dhatu). Your commitment to a healthy diet and exercise is the foundation, but Ayurveda can offer targeted support.

Ayurvedic Approach & Advice:

Focus on Kapha-Pacifying Diet: Warm, Light, and Dry: Favor cooked vegetables and light grains. Minimize excessively sweet, cold, oily, or heavy foods.

Spices (Agni Enhancers): Spices are key to igniting your digestive fire (Agni). Use liberal amounts of Ginger, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Cumin, Coriander, and Turmeric in your cooking. Honey: Use honey as your sweetener sparingly, and never cook or mix it with hot liquids (like a hot tea), as Ayurveda considers cooked honey toxic (Ama). Add it to warm (not hot) water or as a topping. Ayurvedic Drinks: Drink warm water throughout the day. Consider a simple detox tea: CCF Tea (Cumin, Coriander, Fennel seeds steeped in hot water). Start your day with warm water and lemon (without honey) to boost Agni.

Exercise and Routine: Consistency: Your current workout routine is good. Ensure it includes dynamic movement (to balance Kapha) and core work (like yoga poses: Naukasana/Boat Pose, Bhujangasana/Cobra Pose).

Udwarthanam (Dry Powder Massage): A specific Ayurvedic massage using herbal powders to stimulate fat metabolism and circulation. You can try self-massaging vigorously with a rough silk glove or a dry brush.

Kapalabhati Pranayama (Breath of Fire): This strong breathing exercise is excellent for stimulating the abdomen and digestive fire (Agni). Practice on an empty stomach.

Summary of Suggested Products/Remedies: For Skin 1) arogyavardhini rasa-500 mg before food with manjishtadi kashaya 3 times 2) syrup rakta shodhaka- 20 ml after food 2 times with water 3) kumkumadi oil- massage 2 times on face Hair (Loss, Damage, Edges) 1) bhringa amalakadi oil - massage 10 min 2 times 2) bhringraj churna 3 gm+ saptamrita loha 500 mg - after food with ghee and honey

Belly Fat (Waist Reduction) 1) tab navaka gugglu - 2 tab before food 3 times with honey

2) tab varunadi kashaya- after food with water 3 times

Hello Kimberly Thank you for sharing your concerns in detail. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ YOUR MAIN CONCERNS

1. Skin – Wrinkles, dark spots, uneven tone, oily skin. 2. Hair – Hair fall, thinning, breakage, bald spots, weak edges. 3. Body – Stubborn belly fat, want a smaller waist.

✅FOR SKIN (Wrinkles + Dark Spots + Oily Skin)

👉Internal support

1 Amla (Vitamin C rich) daily – fresh juice or powder in water.

2 Aloe vera juice 20 ml in the morning – helps cleanse liver and reduce pigmentation.

3 Flax seeds / chia seeds – balance oil production and reduce wrinkles.

👉Internal Medication 1 Manjisthadi ks tab 2-0-2 after food 2 Sarivasava 30ml-0-30ml after food

👉Topical natural care

Face pack: Sandalwood powder + rose water + turmeric (once weekly).

Use aloe vera gel or rose water as a toner for oily skin.

Moisturizer: Cold-pressed sesame oil or almond oil at night (only 2–3 drops).

✅FOR HAIR LOSS AND BALP SPOTS

✅Scalp nourishment

Warm onion juice + aloe vera gel mix, apply to scalp 30 minutes before washing – promotes regrowth. Massage with bhringraj oil + coconut oil 2–3 times weekly.

✅Internal Medication 1 Groo 1-0-1 after food 2 Jeevamrutham 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water

Patience is key – new hair growth usually takes 3–6 months with consistent care.

✅FOR BELLY FAT AND WAIST SLIMMING

✅Diet modification

You already eat very healthy 👏 – just reduce orange juice & honey (too much sugar slows fat loss).

Focus on high-protein meals (lentils, beans, fish, eggs, quinoa).

Eat dinner light and before 7:30 pm.

✅Herbal support

1 Slimlim 1-0-1 after food

✅PHYSICAL EXERCISE

Exercise Core strengthening: planks, leg raises, twists. Mix cardio (walking, cycling) with strength training (weights / resistance bands).

✅ Lifestyle & Confidence Boost

Sleep well (7–8 hours) – helps skin glow and prevents weight gain.

Stress reduction (yoga, meditation, journaling) – stress worsens both hair fall & belly fat.

Consistency – visible results for hair & skin usually show in 3–6 months, for belly fat 2–4 months with diet + exercise.

Get your thyroid, Vitamin D, Iron, B12 checked – they affect hair, skin, and weight.

Don’t jump from one product to another; stick to a routine for at least 2–3 months.

👉 With discipline, you’ll see smoother skin, stronger hair, and a leaner waist in a few months.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO KIMBERLY

Thank you so much for sharing so freely, Kimberly . I understand the intense frustration you’re holding with skin issues, hair problems, and needing to control your weight in a healthy manner. Ayurveda presents a wholistic approach—addressing not only the body, but also bringing balance back to your digestion, hormones, stress levels, and your confidence level.

1. Knowing Your Constitution (Prakriti & Imbalance) Based on your symptoms: -Oily complexion, dark spots, wrinkles → Pitta + Kapha imbalance -Hair loss, thinning edges, bald patches → Vata + Pitta imbalance (stress, heat, circulation problems) -Stomach fat, slow waist loss → Kapha imbalance (slow digestion, water retention) **Therefore, you require a Pitta-Kapha balancing regimen along with some Vata nourishment for hair.

2. Skin Health (Wrinkles, Dark Spots, Greasy Skin) Daily care: -Cleanser: Apply a natural cleanser with neem, turmeric, or manjistha powder (mix with rose water). -Toner: Rose water or cucumber water spray. -Moisturizer: Aloe vera gel with a few drops of jojoba oil. -Weekly: Use a face pack of sandalwood + turmeric + chickpea flour + rose water. Useful for pigmentation, excess oil, and smoothness.

Internal herbs: 1) Manjistha capsules– 1 cap twice daily after meals =blood purifier, dark spot clearer.

2) Neem capsules/powder –1 cap twice daily after meals = oil balancer and toxin balancer.

3) Amla powder or juice – 1 tsp with warm water in morning =rich in vitamin C, stops wrinkles and heals skin.

3. Hair Loss, Breakage, Bald Spots External care: -Warm oil massage 2–3 times/week: -Apply Bhringraj oil or Coconut oil with curry leaves & fenugreek seeds. -Massage scalp gently to enhance blood flow. -Avoid chemicals, tight styles, and too much heat.

-Weekly hair mask: Aloe vera gel + hibiscus powder + fenugreek paste → fortifies roots.

Internal herbs: 1)Bhringraj powder/capsules –1 cap at night “King of hair” in Ayurveda.

2) Ashwagandha – 1 tsp powder with warm milk at bedtime reduce stress-related hair fall.

3)Triphala – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime cleanses gut, improves nutrient absorption for hair.

4. Stomach Fat & Waist Reduction You’re already eating clean—great foundation Now, Ayurveda focuses on Agni (digestive fire):

Diet guidance: -Prefer warm, lightly spiced foods (ginger, cumin, turmeric, black pepper). -Avoid too much orange juice & sweet fruits (increase Kapha & sugar). -Use lemon water instead. -Drink honey water (warm, not hot) in the morning – aids in reducing fat. -Dinner is light: soup, vegetables, or kichari (lentils + rice + spices).

Lifestyle: -Fasting: Intermittent fasting (like you already do) is fine. -Yoga: Twist postures, kapalabhati (fire breath), plank variations. -Walking after meals aids digestion and avoids belly fat storage.

Ayurvedic herbs: 1)Triphala at night – aids digestion, removes toxins.

2) Triphala Guggul –2 tabs after meals naturally burns excess fat.

3)Fenugreek seeds (overnight soaked) – stabilizes sugar, supports metabolism.

5. Mind-Body Connection -At times, skin, hair, and weight problems get aggravated by stress hormones. -Meditation/Pranayama: Do 10–15 mins every day. -Abhyanga (self-massage) – alleviates stress, balances doshas. -Sleep: Try to have 7–8 hrs; poor sleep causes hair loss & skin problems.

6. Product Recommendations (Ayurvedic) For skin: Neem + Manjistha + Aloe vera gel products. For hair: Bhringraj oil, Brahmi oil, Hibiscus-based hair mask. For metabolism: Triphala, Guggul, Fenugreek. For stress: Ashwagandha, Brahmi. Choose organic or Ayurvedic brands such as Himalaya, Banyan Botanicals, Kerala Ayurveda, or Organic India.

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Addressing the concerns about your skin, hair, and weight requires a comprehensive approach based on Ayurvedic principles. For wrinkles and dark spots, the focus should be on enhancing your skin’s natural glow and tone. Massage your face with Kumkumadi Tailam, which contains saffron, an ingredient renowned for brightening and nourishing the skin. Use a paste of Turmeric (Haldi) mixed with honey and a few drops of lemon juice as a weekly mask. This can help even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation. Avoid excessive sun exposure and apply a natural sunscreen like aloe vera gel with a few drops of coconut oil.

For oily skin management, cleansing is crucial. Prepare a face wash with chickpea flour (Besan), turmeric, and yogurt. This will help to remove the excess oil. Drinking warm water with a pinch of turmeric every morning could support internal detoxification and improve skin health over time.

Regarding hair loss, your diet and stress management are key. Nourish your hair her with Amla (Indian Gooseberry) supplements or fresh juice, and consider applying Bhringraj oil thrice weekly. This strengthens the hair follicles reducing breakage and promoting regrowth. Brahmi and Ashwagandha supplements can balance doshas, reducing stress which is vital for hair health.

For reducing stomach fat, focus on strengthening your digestive system (Agni). Consider Trikatu powder—a blend of three spices (black pepper, long pipper, ginger) to boost metabolism. Consume this before meals for better digestion. Engage in Kapalabhati (a breathing exercise) in morning to aid in reducing belly fat, however caution is needed if you have high blood pressure.

Remember to maintain consistency while respecting your body’s unique constitution. Alongside, a holistic routine underpinned by the wisdom of Ayurveda can lead to profound improvements in well-being and self-confidence over time.

For the issues you’re dealing with, the Siddha-Ayurvedic approach considers the balance of doshas and the vitality of agni, or digestive fire. Let’s break down your concerns.

Firstly, for skin issues like wrinkles, dark spots, and smoothing, a high amount of pitta imbalance could be playing a role. Oily skin further suggests kapha involvement. Applying a turmeric and sandalwood paste has a cooling effect and can help clarify the skin. Be sure to use these external applications sparingly and consult with a professional to avoid aggravating conditions. Avoid hot, spicy, and greasy foods to decrease pitta and kapha, which can exacerbate these skin conditions.

Hair issues such as loss and breakage can also be linked to pitta dosha imbalance, possibly aggravated by mental stress (also rooted in vata aggravation). Applying bhringraj oil regularly can nourish hair roots and promote growth. Incorporating amla in your diet or as a supplement helps fortify hair by providing natural Vitamin C, supporting both kapha and pitta balance.

For fat on the stomach, even with a healthy diet, stubborn belly fat can reflect low digestive fire or agni. Adding a pinch of trikatu (a mix of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) to your meals can enhance digestion and metabolism, encouraging weight loss. Regularly practice twisting yoga poses to stimulate digestion and help reduce abdominal fat.

You are already following a good diet and hydration but ensure exercise includes varying routines like yoga or pilates plus regular cardiovascular activities. Avoid late heavy meals which can slow digestive fire. All changes should align with your lifestyle so they remain sustainable and effective.

This advice is grounded in Ayurvedic practices; however, always consult with healthcare providers when trying new routines, especially when considering potential interactions or pre-existing conditions.

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

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. Arshad Mohammad
I am working in the ayurvedic field since like 3 years now and honestly still feel like there's always more to learn, even after handling so many different kind of cases in both OPD and IPD settings. That mix of outdoor and indoor care changed the way I understand patients—like, not just quick consults but full-on long term treatments where u really gotta observe body patterns, reactions, progress... or even no progress, which is tricky. Sometimes even when the textbook says one thing, patients show something else entirely n you gotta adapt. I deal with a mix of things—digestive issues, skin problems, mild joint pain stuff, lifestyle triggers—and each case kinda adds a new layer to my approach. Working closely with both acute and chronic patients taught me how much small details matter, like even diet timing or mental state can flip how someone respond to a herb. It’s not about formulas—u gotta watch, tweak, rewatch. I do spend time explaining what the treatment plan actually means. Like not just “take this churnam 2 times daily” but *why* it fits their prakruti or condition. That makes ppl stick to it better, I feel. Also yeah, I’ve worked in setups where it was just me managing the flow—making clinical calls, followups, keeping records, sometimes even basic panchakarma guidance when support was limited. That kinda multitasking helped build real confidence, not the paper type but actual “you’re responsible here” type. And it shows me that patient trust comes not from using big words but from clear answers n slow steady improvements they can *feel.* Not everything works fast. But if u observe closely, listen well, and don’t rush—ayurveda does work.

Dr. Shilpa Shijil
I am still learning how to describe myself without sounding too stiff, but I do feel that my personal and inter-personal skills shape a big part of how I work. I try to stay approachable and not make pts feel rushed, even on days when time is slipping fast. I listen first, maybe longer than needed sometimes, just to catch the small hints in their words or their silence. I end up absorbing a bit of their pain or worry too, and then I remind myself to stay focused so I can actually help them, not just feel it. I am seeing people as whole beings, not just their symptoms or test values, and that keeps my treatment more grounded. I explain things in simple ways, though I get tangled in my phrasing here and there, but I make sure they and their family know what we’re doing and why. I try to stay honest even when the truth is slow progess or a rough patch in the condition. I am pretty dedicated to ethical practice, sometimes to the point where I double-check a simple step, and I don’t mind spending extra time if it means the plan is right. I push myself to keep learning, reading, attending discussions, all without getting scared of criticism, though a harsh comment stings me for a bit. I enjoy public interaction too—talking to groups, answering doubts, explaining Ayurveda without overcomplicating it. I am still shaping these skills every day, but they guide me in giving care that feels human, steady and trustworthy, even on the messy days when I am juggling too many things at once.

Dr. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

Dr. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

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

Dr. Nayan Wale
I am working in medical field for total 7 years, out of which around 4 years was in hospital setup and 3 years in clinic practice. Hospital work gave me strong base, long duty hours, different type of cases, emergencies sometimes, and learning under pressure. Clinic work is different, slower but deeper, where I sit with patients, listen more, explain things again n again, and follow them over time. In hospital I handled day to day OPD cases, routine management, and also assisted seniors when things got complicated. That phase shaped my clinical thinking a lot, even now I sometimes catch myself thinking like hospital mode when a case looks serious. Clinic practice on the other hand taught me patience. Patients come with chronic issues, expectations, doubts, sometimes fear, and I had to adjust my approach accordingly. I focus on practical treatment planning, not just diagnosis on paper. Some days I feel I should have more time with each patient, but I try to balance it. My experience across hospital and clinic helps me understand both acute care and long term disease management. I still keep learning everyday, reading, observing patterns, correcting myself when needed, because medicine never stays same for long, and neither should the doctor.
