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 an important area where a careful, integrated approach between your current allopathic treatment (L-Dopa) and a complementary Ayurvedic regimen can be beneficial.

1. General Ayurvedic Suggestions for Parkinson’s Disease

Ayurveda views Parkinson’s disease primarily as a Vata Dosha imbalance, specifically affecting the nervous system (Majja Dhatu) and the body’s movements. The core principles for complementary management involve:

Vata Pacification: Using warm, unctuous (oily), and grounding remedies and therapies.

Nerve Nourishment (Rasayana): Rejuvenating the nervous system.

Detoxification (when appropriate): Removing accumulated toxins (Ama).

Key Ayurvedic Herbs Often Discussed:

Kapikacchu Mucuna pruriens A natural source of L-Dopa. Used in some Ayurvedic formulations (e.g., Zandopa) for its anti-parkinsonian properties. Must be used with extreme caution and under strict medical supervision as it contains L-Dopa and will interact with your synthetic L-Dopa medication. The dosage may need significant adjustment.

Ashwagandha Withania somnifera A nerve tonic (Rasayana). May help with stress, fatigue, and general nerve health. Generally considered safe, but check for any interactions with your current medication.

Brahmi Bacopa monnieri or Centella asiatica Supports cognitive function and acts as a nerve rejuvenator (Medhya Rasayana). Generally considered safe.

Bala Sida cordifolia Used for strengthening and nourishing the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

Important Ayurvedic Therapies (Often Panchakarma)

These physical treatments are highly effective for Vata disorders and can be very beneficial for a 67-year-old patient: Abhyanga (Therapeutic Oil Massage): Regular full-body massage with medicated oils (like Mahanarayana Taila or Kshirabala Taila) to pacify Vata, improve circulation, and reduce stiffness.

Shirodhara: A continuous stream of warm oil, milk, or herbal decoction poured gently over the forehead. It is profoundly calming to the nervous system and can help reduce anxiety and tremors.

Basti (Medicated Enema): Considered the best treatment for Vata disorders. Oil or decoction-based enemas help balance Vata from its main site in the colon, which is said to have a powerful effect on the nervous system.

2. Role of Ayurvedic Herbo-Mineral Treatment (Rasa Aushadhis)

Herbo-mineral (or Rasa Aushadhis) formulations are a distinct and potent category of Ayurvedic medicine that combine herbs with purified and processed minerals and metals (like mercury, gold, silver, iron, copper, etc.).

Role in Parkinson’s Disease: Higher Potency and Bioavailability: They are used for chronic and complex diseases because, once properly processed (Shodhana, Marana), the minerals are believed to become micro-particles (bhasmas) that enhance the efficacy, bioavailability, and nerve-nourishing (Rasayana) effects of the herbs. Targeted Action: They are often prescribed to act quickly and directly on deep tissue levels, such as the nervous tissue (Majja Dhatu), which is key in Kampavata. Boosting Overall Vitality: They may be used to improve general health, immunity, and strength.

3. Safety and Duration of Herbo-Mineral Consumption (The ‘Metal’ Question)

The concern about heavy metals (like lead, mercury, and arsenic) in Ayurvedic medicines is valid and a subject of ongoing discussion and regulation.

Traditional Processing is Key: In classical Ayurveda, metals are never used in their raw form. They undergo extensive purification (Shodhana) and incineration (Marana) over several days to create bio-assimilable, non-toxic preparations called Bhasmas (ashes). When prepared correctly by a reputable manufacturer or pharmacy following classical texts, these bhasmas are traditionally considered safe and effective. The Safety Concern: The safety concern arises when: Formulations are made using improper or shortcut purification methods. Products are sourced from unregulated markets, particularly outside of India, where quality control and testing for heavy metal content may be lacking. Duration of Consumption: Consultation is Paramount: The duration for herbo-mineral consumption is highly individualized and must be determined by your Ayurvedic doctor based on your specific condition, response to treatment, and overall health status (especially kidney and liver function).

No Universal Rule: Unlike many purely herbal formulas that can be taken for a long time, Rasa Aushadhis are powerful and often given for specific periods (e.g., 1 to 6 months) followed by periodic breaks or rotation with purely herbal formulas. Mandatory Monitoring: Since you are 67 and combining treatments, if a herbo-mineral compound is prescribed, your Ayurvedic doctor should recommend regular monitoring of blood parameters, including kidney function tests (e.g., Serum Creatinine and Urea) and liver function tests (LFTs) to ensure safety during consumption.

HELLO RAJ,

Parkinson’s disease is a long term brain condition that affects movement and coordination. It happens when certain brain cells that produce dopamine start to degenerate

Dopamine helps control smooth, balanced muscle movement - when level drops, tremors, stiffness and slowness occur

COMMON SYMPTOMS -tremors -muscles stiffness or rigidity -slowness of mvoement -imbalance or tendency to fall -soft or slow speech -small handwriting -constipation -disturbed sleep, depression or fatigue

In Ayurveda, this condition is called kampavata

According to ayurveda -vata governs all motion, nerve impulses and coordination -when vata becomes vitiated or disturbed , it cause shaking, weakness, and mental fatigue -the brain and nerves are weak or depleted -poor digestion and toxin buildup can worsen symptoms

So, kampavata= vata imbaance + weakness of brain tissue + toxin accumulation

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify aggravated vata dosha -nourish brain and nerves -enhance digestion and metabolism -remove accumulated toxins -support mental calmness and emotional stability -improve quality of life and reduce medication side effects

EXTERNAL THERAPIES (panchakarma)- these balance vata and strengthen the nervous system

1) ABHYANGA= full body massage with warm medicated oil like Mahanarayana, ksheerbala taila =improves circulation, relaxes muscles, calms vata

2) SWEDANA= steam therapy after massage =reduces stiffness, and rigidity

3) SHIRODHARA= continuous pouring of warm oil on forehead =ccalms the mind, improvs sleep, reduces tremor

4) SHIROBASTI= retaining warm oil on head inside a cap =deep nourishment of brain tissues

5) BASTI= enema with herbal decoction or oils =the most effective for chronic vata disorders

6) NASYA= nasal drops with anu taila =clears head channels, supports brain

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

HERBAL POWDERS/ TABLETS

-ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk daily

-KAPIKACCHU CHURNA= 5 tsp twice daily after meals =natural source of L-dopa , supports dopamine levels

-BRAHMI = 500mg twice daily capsules =enhances memory, calmness

-GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs I morning =anti inflammatory, supports immunity

MEDICATED GHEE/ RASAYANA -KALYANAKA GHRITA= 1 tsp in warm milk daily morning =brain rejuvinator, enhances memory

ARISHTA -SARASWATARISHTA/ ASHWAGANDHARISHTA= 15 ml twice daily after meals =improves speech, strength , sleep

HERBO MINERAL PREPARATIONS

-VATAGAJANKUSHA RAS, SMRITISAGAR RASA, EKANGAVEER RASA= 1 tab 125 mg once =controls tremors, and righty (use for short course)

GENERAL LIFESTYLE -maintain a regular daily routine sleep and wake up same time -avoid excess stress, overwork, loud noise, anger, anxiety -take adequate rest and good sleep -prefer warm oil self massage daily before bath -avoid cold, dry, windy, or stress full environments -gentle sunlight exposure helps mood and bone health

YOGA helps improve balance, fexibility, and calmness -tadasana -vrikshasana -trikonasana -pawanmuktasana -bhujangasana -shavasana

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom -bhramari -ujjayi -deep diaphragmatic breathing

DIET -warm, soft, freshly cooked meals -ghee, milk, almonds soaked, sesame seeds -cooked vegetable -fruits like banana,dates, figs, papaya -herbal teas= ginger, cinnamon, tulsi

AVOID -cold,dry, leftover, or processed food -raw salads, excess pulses like chana, rajma -tea, coffee, alcohol,smoking -sour or fermented foods in excess curd at night, pickles

DRINK= warm water or herbal teas, avoid ice cold drinks

HOPE THIS MIGHT HELPFUL

THANK YOU

I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions.

Namaste RAJ

Thank you for reaching this platform and sharing about your condition. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic neurological disorder and I understand that you’re already on L-dopa, which is the standard alopathi treatment. Ayurveda can definitely compliment your current treatment by helping improve tremors, stiffness, sleep, digestion, and overall quality of life In ayurveda, we approach Parkinson’s as a disorder caused by long standing balance of VATA. In the nervous system, treatment focuses on nourishing the brain and nervous, improving coordination, reducing stress and supporting overall vitality. You can start on Medha vati Brahmi vati -one tablet each twice daily after food with warm milk Ashwagandha churna-half teaspoon with warm water at night Shankapuspi churna -1/4 th with warm water twice daily Saraswathi aristha-with equal quantity of water twice daily after food

Regarding Herbo mineral medicine as certain classical formulation do content purified metals and minerals in Ayurveda. These are not used in raw form but undergo a long process of purification and calcination, which makes them safe. For thetic use in prescribed doses when taken under proper supervision, they can be consume for months and sometimes years without any harm.

Incorporating Ayurvedic treatments alongside conventional therapies for Parkinson’s can offer holistic support. It’s important to remember, however, that Ayurvedic treatments should complement, and not replace, medical advice from your healthcare provider. Ayurveda views Parkinson’s as a Vata disorder, called Kampavata. Herbo-mineral treatments can play a supportive role in managing symptoms.

One well-recognized formulation is “Kampavata Vidwamsa Rasa,” which includes processed metal and herbs, often used for neurological conditions. Metals in Ayurveda are typically used in their bhasma form, where they are purified and calcined, making them safer. But, it’s crucial to use such treatments under the guidance of a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner, as improper use can be harmful.

The duration of bhasma consumption varies per individual and requires careful consideration of your specific condition and response to treatment. Generally, treatment might span several weeks to months, being evaluated at regular intervals by your practitioner for safety and efficacy.

Herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi are also recommended — they’re generally safe and can help balance Vata, improve cognition, and reduce stress. A daily dose of 1-2 teaspoons of Ashwagandha powder, mixed in warm milk or water, can be beneficial. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), about 500 mg daily, might support mental clarity and enhance mood.

Ensure your diet is sattvic with warm, nourishing foods that are easy to digest. Ghee is excellent for pacifying Vata and can be included in moderation. Consistent Abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame oil might aid in relaxing muscles and improving mobility.

For the herbomineral therapy, you should work with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can closely monitor your condition, tailoring the treatment to your individual needs and ensuring regular follow-ups.

Ayurvedic treatment for Parkinson’s can complement allopathic medication like L-Dopa by addressing symptoms and attempting to correct underlying imbalances in a person’s prakriti. A primary focus should be on balancing the Vata dosha, which, when aggravated, often contributes to neurological manifestations such as tremors and rigidity.

Herbo-mineral formulations in Ayurveda, known as Rasa Shastra, may include ingredients like purified mercury, gold, or other metals that are rigorousl purified and considered safe under traditional guidelines. However, the use of these should be strictly supervised by a qualified professional. These formulations can support overall vitality and neurodegenerative conditions when used appropriately.

Even though Ayurvedic classic texts mention long-term consumption, in contemporary practice it would be prudent to limit the initial duration to three months under medical guidance, closely monitoring any changes. Safety and the risk of heavy metal content should always be considered. Regular assessments through not only Ayurvedic checks but also through modern methods like blood tests are recommended to ensure safety.

Alongside, incorporating dietary changes can be beneficial. Emphasizing warm, easily digestible meals, with lots of cooked vegetables, grains, and spices like turmeric and ginger, supports Vata balance. Lifestyle changes like gentle yoga, meditation, and adequate rest are vital for maintaining overall well-being.

Always consult both your Ayurvedic practitioner and neurologist to coordinate treatments and avoid any potential interactions or contraindications with L-Dopa or other medications. It’s important to find a harmonious balance between systems to maximize your health outcomes safely.

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. 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. 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. Suchin M
I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

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.

I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

Dr. Sumi. S
I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.

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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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.
