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

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.

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. 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. Shazia Amreen
I am Dr. Shazia Amreen, an Ayurvedic physcian with a little over 7 years of hands-on experience in clinical practice. I did my MD in Ayurveda from Government Ayurveda Medical College, Bangalore—and honestly, those years helped me go much deeper into the classical texts and the clinical ground. Not just theory... actual healing. Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with a diverse set of patients—from chronic gut problems to skin & hair concerns, musculoskeletal issues, hormonal imbalances, kidney stones, you name it. My core strength really lies in Panchakarma and gastrointestinal healing, where I don’t just jump into detox, but take time to see where the agni is, how deep the ama has gone, and whether the body’s ready to reset. I’m very rooted in classical assessment—looking at dosha imbalance, dhatu state, and prakriti before planning anything. But also, I keep it grounded in modern daily life. What’s the point of a great herbal blend if the person can’t sleep on time or digest their food properly, right? That’s why I focus big on Ahara-Vihara guidance. I don’t just hand over a diet list—I walk people through why those changes matter, and how to make them sustainable. In my practice, I often blend Rasayana chikitsa with basic lifestyle coaching, especially for cases like IBS, PCOS, eczema, migraines, or stress-triggered flareups. Each case is unique, and I don’t believe in repeating the same formula just because it worked for someone else. I also emphasize emotional reset, especially in long-standing chronic cases—sometimes people carry fear, shame, or frustration about their illness. I try to hold space for that too. Whether it’s someone coming in for general detox, a fertility consult, or just confused by their symptoms—I aim to build a plan that makes sense to them. It should feel doable. Balanced. And over time, it should make them feel like they’re coming back home to their own body. That’s the kind of Ayurvedic care I believe in—and try to deliver every single day.

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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. Ramkabir Mayankkumar Rushibhai
I am a third generation Ayurveda doctor, working in this field for many years and learning the knowledge passed down in my family line. I have been treating patients with different long term health problems, specially those who are tired of repeated medicines and want a more natural way to heal. My focus is mainly on understanding the root cause of the disease, not just the symptoms, because I truly belive healing should happen from inside, not just temporary relief. I work closely with patients and try to understand their lifestyle, food habits, stress levels and seasonal imbalances. Based on that, I suggest ayurvedic medicines along with simple daily routines and diet changes that can actually be followed in real life. Many people come to me after trying many treatments, and slowly we work together toward better health. I do not believe in one medicine for everyone. Every body is different, and treatment should also be personal. Over the years I have treated many long standing conditions with patience, consistency and proper guidance. I still keep learning everyday, because Ayurveda is vast and there is always something more to understand. My aim is to help people live a healthier, balanced life using authentic Ayurvedic principles, simple remedies and honest guidance, without overcomplicating things.
