I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

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.

Here are some Ayurvedic additions and adjustments commonly recommended for your kind of mixed imbalance:

1. To Address Vata (Gas & Bloating) and Improve Agni (Digestive Fire):

Trikatu: A combination of three pungent spices (Ginger, Black Pepper, Long Pepper).

Action: It is a potent Deepana (appetizer) and Pachana (digestive) that helps to ignite Agni and burn Ama (toxins), and is particularly effective for Vata and Kapha, helping reduce gas and bloating.

CCF Tea (Cumin, Coriander, Fennel): Make a tea by boiling equal parts of Cumin, Coriander, and Fennel seeds in water.

Action: Cumin and Fennel are excellent carminatives for Vata, while Coriander is cooling and helps pacify the Pitta aggravation (acidity/heat). This tea is excellent for stabilizing Agni without excessively increasing Pitta.

2. To Address Pitta (Acidity & Oily/Acidic Food Intolerance): You are already taking Avipattikar Churna and Shatavari, which are good for Pitta

3. Adjustments for Hypothyroidism and Overall Balance (Vata-Kapha):

1) Kanchanar Guggulu:1 tab 2 times after food This is a key formulation often used in Kapha-imbalance disorders, particularly for glandular swelling or metabolism issues related to Kapha, like in hypothyroidism.

Action: Helps to scrape Ama and correct metabolic pathways.

2) Ashwagandha churna-1 tsf after food 2 times

While often known as a rejuvenator, it can help manage stress and support thyroid function, which is sometimes indicated in subclinical hypothyroidism. It is warming but also Vata-Kapha balancing.

4. Dietary & Lifestyle Recommendations (Crucial for Vata-Pitta-Kapha Mix): Diet:

Avoid: Immediately eliminate all cold, raw, oily, deep-fried, sour, and fermented foods. This is vital for calming both Vata and Pitta.

Prioritize: Warm, well-cooked, easily digestible, and moderately spiced food. Ghee (clarified butter) in moderation can be very beneficial, as it is good for Vata and Pitta and helps restore Agni.

Small, Frequent Meals: To avoid taxing the weak Agni.

Warm Water: Sip warm water throughout the day.

Period Gas: Focus on warm, light Vata-pacifying food and rest during this time. Asafoetida (Hing) is traditionally helpful for gas during menses. You can try a pinch of Hing dissolved in a glass of warm water during the period.

Mindful Eating: Eat slowly, chew thoroughly, and ensure you are calm while eating. Avoid drinking large amounts of water immediately before, during, or after meals.

Routine: Maintain a consistent daily routine (Dinacharya) to pacify Vata.

Continue your current medication (for Hypothyroidism) as prescribed by your doctor.

Incorporate the CCF tea into your daily routine.

Hello Seema, I can understand your concern regarding your H. pylori infection. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC MEDICATION

You are already taking good medicines. Let’s structure them properly for maximum effect:

✅FOR DIGESTION AND H PYLORI LIKE INFECTION

1 Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with warm water, 20–30 min before lunch & dinner. Reduces acidity, clears Ama, lightens stomach.

2 Guduchi (Giloy) + Neem tablets – 2 tabs each, morning and evening. Anti-pitta, anti-inflammatory, helps fight infection naturally.

3 Vidangasava – good for Krimi, but should be taken for 6–8 weeks only. Continue if you still feel crawling/gas heaviness after meals.

4 Sutshekhar Ras + Kamdudha Ras – 1 tablet each after meals, with honey or cold milk. Best for burning, belching, ulcer-like symptoms, and chronic acid irritation.

✅FOR STOMACH LINING AND HEALING

1 Yashtimadhu (Mulethi) powder – ½ tsp with lukewarm water, after meals. Heals mucosa, reduces irritation, protects stomach lining.

2 Shatavari Churna – ½ tsp with warm milk, in the evening. Balances Pitta, supports female hormones, reduces period-related bloating.

✅FOR CONSTIOATION AND GUT CLEANISING

Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime. Detoxes gut, improves digestion gradually, reduces Ama.

✅FOR THYROID AND METABOLISM

1 Kanchnar Guggulu – 2 tabs, twice daily, after meals. Regulates thyroid, helps Kapha balance, reduces sluggish digestion.

✅DIET MODIFICATION (Very Crucial to heal gastric mucosal level )

Foods to Include (light, cooling, pitta-shamak)

✅ Soft rice + moong dal khichdi with ghee (best daily base). ✅ Steamed vegetables – lauki, tori, parval, pumpkin. ✅ pomegranate, sweet apple, ripe banana, papaya in moderation. ✅ jeera, dhaniya, fennel, ajwain (lightly roasted). ✅ Buttermilk with roasted jeera + pinch of rock salt in daytime. ✅ Warm jeera water, or coriander water after meals.

❌Foods to Strictly Avoid

Fried, oily, fast food. Excess sour foods – vinegar, pickles, tamarind, tomatoes in excess. Tea, coffee, soft drinks, alcohol. Excess wheat + dairy at night (causes gas + sluggishness). Raw salads at dinner time.

✅LIFESTYLE MEASURES

Regular timings for food, do not skip meals. Eat slowly, chew well – half stomach food, ¼ water, ¼ empty. Do not lie down immediately after meals, sit in Vajrasana for 10 minutes. Yoga: Pwanmuktasana, Vajrasana,Anulom Vilom, Bhramari. Stress worsens both acidity and thyroid – do pranayama daily. Sleep by 10–10:30 pm, avoid late-night meals.

You have already chosen the right medicines. The missing link is structured routine, thyroid support, and mucosa-healing medicines like Sutshekhar Ras, Yashtimadhu, Guduchi-Neem. If you follow this for 8 weeks, you should see clear improvement in gas, bloating, food tolerance, and energy.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

In cases of prolonged indigestion and bloating, especially when there’s a suspicion of H. pylori, one key element is to focus on balancing your doshas and strengthening your digestive fire, or agni. Given your symptoms and existing regimen, there’s a few Ayurvedic remedies and lifestyle changes you might consider to supplement what you’re already doing.

Firstly, continue with Triphala, Avipattikar churna, and Haridra as they aid digestion and reduce acidity. However, be sure you’re consuming Triphala at the right time and in the correct doses — typically, 1-2 teaspoons at bedtime with warm water can be beneficial.

Yakshitimadhu (licorice root) is excellent for soothing the gastric lining, but it can have an impact on blood pressure; be cautious if you’re taking it long-term. Satavari can be nourishing, especially if Vata is aggravated, which it seems it might be given your symptoms.

Vidangasan is traditionally used to address parasitic infections and digestive issues but may need to be paired with other dietary changes for full effectiveness. It’s crucial to maintain a light and easily digestible diet avoiding dairy, sweets, deep-fried, and overly spicy foods. Incorporate cooked vegetables, moderate spices like cumin and coriander, and include ginger tea throughout the day to further ignite digestion.

For hypothyroidism and menstrual irregularities creating gas, Ashwagandha may be helpful. It’s known for supporting thyroid function and balancing hormones. However, ensure it’s compatible with your current lifestyle and body constitution.

Incorporate routine self-massage with warm sesame oil to help with Vata imbalances, and follow it with a comfortably warm bath. Regular physical activity within your limits can also help alleviate bloating by moving the body’s energies.

Keep monitoring your body’s responses to these interventions and adjust accordingly. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized diagnosis, as subtle imbalances may require deeper investigation.

HELLO SEEMA,

YOU HAVE DESCRIBED -Indigestion for 3 months -gas, bloating, heaviness -intolerance to oil or acidic food -thyroid imbalance -symptoms worsen around your menstrual cycle

These indicate a disturbed digestive system with accumulation of “Ama” (undigested toxins), and an imbalance in vata and Kapha dosha, slightly affecting pitta too

AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS

1) AMLAPITTA (hyperacidity/gastritis type)- due to pitta aggravation from wrong food, stress, irregular eating

2) ADHMANA= due to vata imbalance (bloating, gas)

3) GRAHANI DOSHA (intestinal sluggishnes)- when digestive fire becomes weak, food is not properly digested, causing toxins and acidity

4) HYPOTHYROIDISM= considered a kapha-vata disorder with “medo dhatu” and "agni " disturbance (slow metabolism)

So, the main root cause is weak digestion -> leads to toxin build up-> disturb vata, pitta, kapha balance-> affects metabolism and hormones

TREATMENT GOALS -rekindle digestive fire -remove ama -balance doshas -regulate thyroid and hormonal balance -support menstrual health -lifestyle correction

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

FOR DIGESTIVE FIRE AND ACIDITY CONTROL

-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with lukewarm water before meals =balances pitta, reduces acid, helps in gastritis and H.pylori type irritation

- SOOTSEKHAR RAS= 1 tab twice a day after meals =alkalising formulation that reduces acid, burning, and nausea

-KAMDUDHA RAS (mouktik yukta)= 1 tab twice a day after meals =cools the stomach lining and repairs mucosa damaged by acid

FOR DETOXIFICATION AND LIVER SUPPORT

-AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =improves liver function , balances thyroid metabolism, clears ama

-VIDANGA + TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp each at night with warm water =removes intestinal toxins and worms, enhances regular bowel movements

FOR THYROID AND HORMONAL BALANCE

-KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals =balances thyroid and lymphatic congestion; regulates metabolism

-PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals =removes water retention, improves digestion and energy levels

FOR MENSTRUAL GAS AND PAIN

-HINGWASATAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with ghee before meals =relieves gas, cramps, and vata pain

-DASHMOOLA KASAHYA= 2 tsp twice daily with warm water before meals around periods days =balances vata, soothes cramps, improves uterine and gut coordination

DURATION OF INTERNAL TREATMENT -minimum 8-12 weeks for digestive reset -continue triphala + yashtimadhu + shatavari for 3 months as maintenance -thyroud balancing kanchanar guggulu can continue for longer

DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -moong dal khichdi with ghee -jeera-ajwain-saunf water throughout the day -cooked vegetables - bottle gourd, ash gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd -buttermilk with roasted cumin after lunch -herbal teas= ginger, licorice, fennel

AVOID -oily, fried, spicy, fermented food -sour fruits- orange, pineapple , pickles, vinegar -coffee, cold milk, alcohol, cold drinks -wheat heavy or refined foods -late night eating and skipping meals

HOME REMEDIES

1) MORNING DRINK -warm water + 1/2 tsp honey+ few drops of lemon

2) GAS RELIEF -roast equal parts of ajwain + kala namak , chew after meals

3) FOR ACIDITY -mix 1 tsp coriander powder + 1 tsp sugar in cool water, drink mid day

4) FOR BLOATING -boil jeera, ajwain, saunf 1 tsp in 3 cups water-> reduce to 1 cup-> sip warm

5) SOOTHING DRINK 1 tsp aloe vera juice in morning 15 empty stomach

LIFESTYLE AND ROUTINE -eat at fixed times, no overeating or skipping meals -sit calmly and chew properly -avoid lying down immediately after meals, sit in vajrasana for 5-10 min -maintain bowel regularity- do not suppress urges -sleep earl before 10:30 pm -manage stress with daily pranayam or meditation

YOGA ASANAS -pawanmuktasana -vajrasana -ardha matsyendrasana -apanasana -setu bandhasana

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom= 10 min -bhramari= 5 min -kapalbhati= mild version only

Seema, your case is completely manageable with Ayurveda, but patience and regularity are key Think of this not as “just medicine” but as a reset of your digestion and hormones

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

For your ongoing digestive issues, it’s important to ensure you’re addressing not just the symptoms, but also the root cause related to dosha imbalances—particularly with vata and pitta in your case. You’re already using a range of herbs that’s beneficial for balancing these doshas, but let’s refine your approach.

First, consider focusing on enhancing your agni, or digestive fire, as weak digestion might be contributing to the bloating and gas. You could add Hingvastak Churna before meals to aid digestion. This is a traditional Siddhic formulation particularly useful for vata imbalances affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Take it half to one teaspoon with warm water, ideally before each meal, to help with bloating and digestion.

Triphala is great, make sure you’re using it effectively by taking it with warm water before bedtime. You need to see how your body responds over time, it’s usually ideal for regulatory bowel activity.

Given your hypothyroid condition, it’s advisable to do regular yoga and pranayama practices focusing on the throat region. Add Ujjayi pranayama to help stimulate your thyroid gland which indirectly impacts digestive health.

Avoid cold, raw, and oily foods. Instead, go for easily digestible, warm, and cooked meals. Including ginger tea can be soothing, helping with bloating and also balancing the digestive fire.

Pay attention to stressors which might exacerbate digestive issues and consider integrating practices like daily meditation or relaxing tea blends like chamomile in the evening.

Your period’s cyclical impact on digestion can improve with consistent routine; consider Ashoka powder before your cycle starts, which helps in balancing hormones impacting digestion during menstruation.

If symptoms persist or worsen, or if new ones arise, it’s crucial to consult with a local healthcare provider to ensure that complications haven’t developed that require more immediate or specialized attention.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Kirankumari Rathod
I am someone who kinda grew into Panchakarma without planning it much at first... just knew I wanted to understand the deeper layers of Ayurveda, not just the surface stuff. I did both my graduation and post-grad from Govt. Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital in Bangalore — honestly that place shaped a lot of how I think about healing, especially long-term healing. After my PG, I started working right away as an Assistant Professor & consultant in the Panchakarma dept at a private Ayurveda college. Teaching kinda made me realise how much we ourselves learn by explaining things to others... and watching patients go through their detox journeys—real raw healing—was where I got hooked. Now, with around 6 years of clinical exp in Panchakarma practice, I'm working as an Associate Professor, still in the same dept., still learning, still teaching. I focus a lot on individualised protocols—Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all and honestly, that’s what makes it tricky but also beautiful. Right now I’m also doing my PhD, it’s on female infertility—a topic I feel not just academically drawn to but personally invested in, cause I see how complex and layered it gets for many women. Managing that along with academics and patient care isn’t super easy, I won’t lie, but it kinda fuels each other. The classroom work helps my clinical thinking, and my clinical work makes me question things in research more sharply. There's a lot I still wanna explore—especially in how we explain Panchakarma better to newer patients. Many people still think it's just oil massage or some spa thing but the depth is wayyy beyond that. I guess I keep hoping to make that clarity come through—whether it’s in class or during a consult or even during a quick OPD chat.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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. Akshay Negi
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.
