Burning sensation on the stomach surface - #34422

Md Emran

I have burning on the skin of my abdomen for the past 8 months. All my reports are normal. My bowel movements are daily in the morning without any problem. I eat properly and have tried almost all types of food, but food does not cause any issue. I shared my problem with a person on Instagram. He said that this burning happens because of skin friction. So, I started wearing a cotton vest. I have been wearing it for the past 10 days, and I don’t feel the burning now. But, when clothes touch the skin of my abdomen, I feel a needle-like pricking sensation. When I remove my clothes, I don’t feel that burning or pricking. However, at night while sleeping, when my abdomen touches the bed, I again feel that needle-like pricking. What could be the reason behind this

It’s likely due to local irritation as your are telling after wearing cotton it has been reduced, so if there no any discolouration/ or any changes in that area do not worry just apply Alovera gel, and try to wear only cotton

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.

Based on the symptoms you’ve described—burning sensation, needle-like pricking sensation (which stops when the skin is uncovered but is triggered by clothing touch or contact with the bed), and reports being otherwise normal—an Ayurvedic perspective might point towards an imbalance involving two key Doshas: Pitta and Vata.

Here is a breakdown of the possible reasons in Ayurveda:

1. Vata and Pitta Imbalance (Vata-Pitta Prakopa) The combination of the sensations strongly suggests a simultaneous imbalance of Vata (Air/Ether) and Pitta (Fire/Water):

Vata Vitiation: The needle-like pricking sensation (Toda) is a classic symptom of aggravated Vata Dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system. When Vata is unbalanced, it can lead to erratic, sharp, and shooting nerve sensations.

The Pricking Sensation: This specific type of sharp, pricking, or tingling pain (often described as like being poked by needles) is a hallmark of Vata moving through the Twak (Skin) and Nadi (Nerves).

Trigger by Touch: The hypersensitivity to light touch (clothing, bedsheets) suggests that the nerve endings (a domain of Vata) in that area are highly irritated or “on edge.” This is a form of Sparsha-A sahishnutva (touch intolerance/hypersensitivity).

Pitta Vitiation: The initial burning sensation (Daha) is a classic symptom of aggravated Pitta Dosha, which governs heat, metabolism, and transformation.

The Burning Sensation: This indicates an excess of heat (Ushna Guna) in the Rakta Dhatu (Blood tissue) and the Bhrajaka Pitta (the subtype of Pitta residing in the skin).

While the burning seems to have reduced with the cotton vest, the heat element may still be underlying the nerve irritation.

The issue could be an underlying condition falling under the category of Vata-Vyadhi (Vata disorders, often neurological) or a skin condition (Kushta) with a dominant Vata-Pitta component.

2. Dhatu Involvement The affected area (skin) suggests the involvement of:

Rasa Dhatu (Nutritive Fluid/Plasma): Often the first tissue affected in skin issues, responsible for nourishment.

Rakta Dhatu (Blood Tissue): As the seat of Pitta, vitiation of Rakta causes burning, redness, and inflammation.

Twak (Skin): The site of the symptom, showing hypersensitivity.

3. The Role of the Vest and Friction The relief from burning after wearing a cotton vest supports a theory of skin irritation or friction, but in the Ayurvedic view, this only helps the external manifestation of the imbalance:

Cotton Vest: Cotton is generally considered a cooling and soft fabric, which helps to pacify the irritated Pitta (heat/burning) and provides a smoother, more consistent touch, which is less aggravating to the hypersensitive Vata (pricking/sharpness) compared to a harsher fabric.

Friction/Touch as a Trigger: The contact of rougher clothes or bedsheets likely aggravates the already imbalanced Vata, instantly manifesting as the sharp, pricking sensation.

Management might include:

Dietary Adjustments: Favoring foods that are sweet, bitter, and astringent (to cool Pitta) and warm, cooked, and slightly oily (to pacify Vata). Avoid very spicy, sour, fermented, or excessively dry foods.

External Application: Gentle, cooling oil massage (Abhyanga) with oils like Sandalwood oil (Chandanadi Taila) or Coconut oil (as a Pitta-pacifier) or medicated oils (to calm Vata).

In summary, your symptoms point toward a state of heightened nerve sensitivity (Vata) occurring in an area potentially compromised by residual heat/inflammation (Pitta), where physical contact acts as an immediate trigger.

1) chandrakala rasa-2 tab 3 times after food

2) kamdugha rasa with mouktika- 125 mg after food 3 times

3) chandanasava - 20 ml 2 times after food

4) chandanadi oil- external application

HEY Likely cause are: 1. Neuropathic Sensitivity (Cutaneous Nerve Irritation) - The needle-like pricking and burning may stem from superficial nerve hypersensitivity—a form of cutaneous neuropathy. - This can occur even when tests are normal, especially after prolonged inflammation, friction, or subtle nerve compression.

2. Post-inflammatory Neuralgia or Subclinical Shingles - Sometimes, viral reactivation (like herpes zoster) causes burning pain without visible rash. This is rare but worth ruling out if symptoms persist.

For treatment go with: 1.Sarivadyasava 15 ml with 15 ml water twice daily after meals 2.Manjisthadi kwath 15 ml with 15 ml water twice daily after meals 3.Ashwagandha churna 1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk

External Remedies - Eladi Taila: Apply gently on abdomen after bath to soothe skin and reduce sensitivity. - Aloe vera gel (fresh): Apply at night for cooling and barrier repair.

Lifestyle Tips - Avoid tight clothing, synthetic fabrics, and heat exposure. - Practice Nadi Shodhana Pranayama daily to calm nerve pathways. - Use Dashamoola tea or Triphala infusion weekly to support detox.

The symptoms you’re experiencing suggest increased sensitivity or irritation to the skin on your abdomen. Based on Ayurvedic principles, this could be related to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha. Pitta is associated with heat and inflammation, and can manifest as burning sensations on the skin. Even though your reports are normal and you’ve made adjustments with clothing showing some improvement, the persistent needle-like pricking might indicate heightened sensitivity needing further attention.

First, considering your description of Pitta-associated symptoms, it would be essential to start with cooling and soothing remedies. Integrate more Pitta-pacifying foods such as sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes into your diet. These include cooling foods like cucumber, cilantro and aloe vera juice. Reducing spicy, sour or overly salty foods may help minimize any internal heat that could be affecting your skin.

Topically, consider gentle applications like coconut oil or neem oil, known for their cooling, anti-inflammatory properties. Apply lightly over the affected area twice daily, morning and evening, ensuring to do a patch test first to observe any adverse reaction. Another natural approach is bathing or compressing with a decoction made from herbs like sandalwood or rose water, which can also help in reducing skin sensations.

Daily routines promoting balance in Pitta are equally important. Regular meditation or yoga, especially practices involving deep breathing (Pranayama like Sheetali or Chandrabhedana), can contribute to calming internal heat and stress, which can exacerbate sensitivity.

Monitor and maintain regular bowel movements for optimal Pitta balancing, even if they appear normal now. Avoid excessive exposure to heat and direct sunlight, as these can aggravate your condition — prefer loose clothing made of natural fibers like cotton.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s wise to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or a dermatologist for tailored guidance. They could assess specific trigger points or underlying conditions needing professional care. Always consider practical application and moderation when introducing new Ayurvedic practices into your lifestyle.

HELLO,

YOU ARE EXPERIENCING -burning and needle like pricking on the skin of our abdomen -the sensation increases when clothes or the bed touch your skin -all medical reports are normal -there is no pain inside the stomach or digestive disturbance

So, this is not a “stomach” problem but rather a skin and nerve sensitivity issue In Ayurveda, this kind of symptom pattern is described as “twakgata vata-pitta vyadhi”-meaning -Vata dosha (which controls movement, sensation, and nerve activity) has become slightly irregular and hypersensitivity , causing tingling, pricking, or needle like feelings -Pitta dosha (which gives heat and metabolism) has become excessive in the skin layer, leading to burning or warmth sensation

When these two doshas disturb twak (skin) and rakta (blood), the skin becomes more reactive, dry, and sensitive to touch- even normal friction feels like burning

TREATMENT GOALS -balance pitta and vata doshas (reduce heat and nerve irritability) -soothe and strengthen skin nerves to make the less reactive -nourish and cool the body internally -lubricate and protect the skin externally -prevent recurrence by correcting lifestyle and diet

INTERNAL TREATMENT

1) KAMDUDHA RAS (MOUKTIK YUKTA)= 1 tab twice daily with cold milk after meals for 2 months =reduces burning and heat sensation

2) SOOTSEKHAR RAS (plain)= 1 tab twice daily with lukewarm water for 2 months =calms nerve irritability and acidity

3) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp after meals with lukewarm water for 6 weeks =removes internal heat and supports digestion

4) MANJISTHA KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water before meals for 2 months = cleanses skin and blood, cools body

5) DASHMOOLARISHTA= 20 ml with qual water after meals for 2 months =nourishes nerves and improves skin sensitivity

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE -Use CHANDANADI TAILA -warm silghlty and massage gently over the abdomen for 10-15 min -leave for 15 min, then bathe with lukewarm water (never hot) =lnricates skin, soothes nerves, removes dryness, reduces friction sensitivity

2) AFTER- BATH APPLICATION -Apply pure coconut oil or aloe vera gel on the area =if possible add a few drops of sandalwood or rose oil to coconut oil for extra cooling

3) NIGHT CARE -before sleeping, lightly apple Aloe vera + sandalwood paste

LIFESTYLE ADJUSTMENTS

1) CLOTHING= continue using soft cotton or linen, avoid synthetic fabrics and tight belts 2) BATHING= use mild herbal soaps (sandalwood, neem or aloe based). Avoid hot water baths 3) SLEEP= use a clean, soft cotton bedspread; avoid sleeping directly on hard or rough surface 4) STRESS = practice relaxation; stress increases vata and nerve sensitivity 5) DAILY ROUTINE = maintain regular sleep and meal timings; avoid late nights and skipping meals 6) Avoide excessive exposure to : Heat, Sunlight, Friction, and Mental strain

DIET -cooling and soothing foods= cow’s milk, ghee, fresh butter, coconut water, cucumber, bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd, green moong dal , cooked rice, barley -Sweet fruits= pomegranate, amla, grapes, apple, watermelon -Spices in small quanitity= cumin, coriander, fennel,cardamom -Water= drink lukewarm or room temperature water, you can boil with a pinch of fennel and coriander seeds for cooling effect

AVOID -spicy, sour, or very hot foods - red chili, pickles, vinegar -Fermented items- curd at night, cheese, alcohol -fried, oily, junk, or reheated food -tea,coffee, soft drinks, excess salt -prolonged fasting or skipping meals

HOME REMEDIES

1) coconut - sandalwood paste -mix sandalwood powder with coconut oil and apply on affected skin for 15 minutes . wash with cool water =cooling anti inflammatory, reduces burning

2) aloe vera pulp= apply fresh directly

3) triphala water wash= soak 1 tsp triphala in a cup of water overnight, strain and gently wash the abdomen next morning =cleanses skin and mildly reduces inflamamtion

4) Ghee and sugar internally =calms pitta, nourishes skin and nerves

YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana= improves digestion and relaxes the abdomen -shavasana= relaxes nerves and mind -pawanmuktasana= relieves abdominal tension -setu bandhasana= enhances blood circulation

PRANAYAM -sheetali and sheetkari= cooling pranayam, excellent for burning and heat sensation -Nadi sodhana= balances both pitta and vata, calms the mind

Your problem is not dangerous but it shows an imbalance of body energies leading to skin and nerve hypersensiticity -Relief often comes gradually- expect 4-6 weeks of consistent treatment to notice full improvement

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Considering the symptoms you’ve described, it’s possible that the root cause lies in an imbalance of the Vata dosha, which can lead to increased sensitivity and pricking sensations. While wearing a cotton vest has helped reduce the burning, sensitivity to touch might point to a need for more grounding and cooling practices in your routine.

Start by incorporating regular self-massage with a Vata-pacifying oil like sesame or coconut oil. Warm the oil slightly before applying it to the abdomen with gentle, circular motions, ideally before bathing. This practice can help reduce the pricking sensation by soothing the nervous system and nourishing the skin.

Pay attention to your diet and lifestyle, as they greatly influence dosha balance. Favor warm, cooked meals rich in grounding foods like root vegetables and whole grains. Avoid caffeine, extremely spicy or oily foods, which can aggravate Vata and Pitta dosha.

Ensure adequate hydration, which is crucial to maintain healthy skin. Sip warm water throughout the day. Proper hydration can often alleviate skin-related issues by improving tissue health.

Incorporate relaxation techniques like yoga, pranayama, and meditation. Regular practice can stabilze Vata and promote tranquility in your mind and body, thus potentially reducing overall sensitivity.

Also, try to sleep on natural-fiber bedding to reduce friction and use a light, breathable fabric for clothing that avoids any rough textures. Even though tests indicated normal results, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner, who can give a more detailed examination and tailor remedies to your prakriti and specific needs.

If the pricking persists or worsens, even with these lifestyle modifications, it may require further investigation to rule out any underlying neurological or dermatological conditions. In that case, seeking guidance from a healthcare professional is important for appropriate management.

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. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

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

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

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. 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. 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. 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. Vinayak Kamble
I am about 1 year into my practice journey n honestly that feels both small n big at the same time. When I first started, I wasn’t sure how quickly I could adjust from academic space into real clinical care, but gradually with each patient I learnt something more. My main focus is on pain management—conditions like knee joint pain, sciatica, lumbar back ache, spondylitis, tennis elbow, golfer elbow, frozen shoulder, heel pain etc. I try to combine careful diagnosis with treatments rooted in Ayurveda yet explained in practical way so patients don’t feel lost. Sometimes progress is slow, sometimes quick, but always there is learning in it. During this year I also kept my dedication toward research and evidence-based approach. I worked on presenting ideas and papers in academic forums whenever I got chance, and even managed to publish in journals that value Ayurveda in modern context. That gave me confidence that my small contributions can add to bigger discussions in medical field. In my postgraduate study I had finished Medicine with top score in my batch, which felt rewarding but also left me with responsibility to keep proving that I deserve that position. Honestly, academic achievements are good but real test is when someone walks in pain and goes back with relief, even if just partial at first. Sometimes patients expect instant cure, n that is where I try to keep balance—explaining how pain relief in conditions like frozen shoulder or spondylitis may take staged approach, while also keeping them hopeful. Ayurveda gives a framework but patient trust makes the treatment effective. One year is not a long time but it has been enough to show me the value of consistency, clarity and listening more than talking. My aim is not just treating pain but helping people understand their body better, manage lifestyle triggers, and feel supported in the journey of healing!!

Not really the kind of response I was looking for. Feels a bit disconnected from my question.
