Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
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.

I understand your concern, especially with your marriage plans. The change in your menstrual pattern—from a good period to a scanty one, and now to just spotting, particularly after fibroid removal—warrants attention.

In Ayurveda, changes in the menstrual cycle are often linked to imbalances in the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), which govern all physiological processes, and the health of the Artava Dhatu (reproductive tissue).

Here is a general Ayurvedic perspective on your situation:

1. Possible Ayurvedic Interpretation Fibroid Removal Aftermath: The fibroid itself (Granthi) is often seen as a Kapha-dominant disorder (accumulation of mass). The surgery to remove it is a significant intervention.

Scanty Periods/Spotting (Artava Kshaya / Alpartava): Scanty periods or reduced flow are often primarily linked to an aggravation of Vata Dosha. Vata governs movement and is responsible for the downward flow of menstruation (Apana Vata). When Vata is imbalanced, it can cause the menstrual flow to become reduced, scanty, delayed, or painful.

Age and Perimenopause: At 42, you are in the phase of life (Vata dominance after the age of 40) where your body naturally starts preparing for perimenopause. Vata tends to increase, which can lead to irregular, scanty, or fluctuating periods.

Stress and Vata: Planning a marriage and managing health concerns can be stressful, which severely aggravates Vata, further disrupting the menstrual rhythm and flow.

a. Diet (Ahara) Focus on Warm, Nourishing, Grounding Foods: Prioritize freshly cooked, warm, and easily digestible foods.

Include Healthy Fats: Incorporate Ghee (clarified butter), sesame oil, and nuts (like almonds, walnuts) to pacify Vata and nourish the reproductive tissues.

Spice Wisely: Use warming and digestive spices like ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fennel.

Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water and herbal teas.

Foods to Promote Flow (Under guidance): Traditionally, black sesame seeds (Til) with jaggery, and unripe papaya (avoid during actual bleeding) are used to encourage flow.

b. Lifestyle (Vihara) Regular Routine: Maintain a fixed schedule for sleeping, waking, and eating to ground Vata. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep.

Stress Management: Practice Yoga (gentle, restorative poses), Meditation, and Pranayama (breathing techniques like Nadi Shodhana - alternate nostril breathing) to manage stress and balance Vata.

Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Daily self-massage with warm sesame oil is highly recommended for calming Vata, nourishing the skin, and improving circulation.

Avoid: Excessive cold, raw foods, highly processed foods, intense or strenuous exercise, and late nights

Next Steps Given your symptoms and planning for marriage (which implies reproductive health is a priority), your best course of action is to:

Consult a Gynecologist: Rule out any immediate concerns post-surgery or signs of early perimenopause (which can present with fluctuating cycles).

Treatment 1) phala ghrita-1 tsf - 1 hr after food

2) raja pravartini vati-1 tab 2 times after food 3) shatavari churna-1 tsf after food 2 times

3) ashokarishta + kumaryasava-3 tsf - after food 3 times

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.

I am someone who really believes that Ayurveda isn’t just about giving herbs and oils—it's more like a whole way of looking at the body, the habits, the food, and how everything connects together. I got solid training in Ayurvedic clinical practice and feel most confident when I'm using therapies like Panchakarma or planning proper Shodhana for someone who's stuck in a cycle of chronic illness or stress-related issues. There’s just something powerful about seeing how classical cleansing can bring that shift in energy and clarity for ppl who've tried everything else. I work a lot on dosha assessment—sometimes it takes a bit of digging cause symptoms don’t always line up in a textbook way. But once I figure out what’s really going off-balance, I try to make treatment super personalized. It’s not just about giving a kashayam or lepa... I spend time explaining diet changes, routines, sleep timing, and even emotional triggers when needed. Many people don’t realise how big a role lifestyle play in their conditions. Right now, I’m mostly focused on lifestyle disorders and detox-based therapies. Things like PCOS, fatty liver, skin allergies, joint stiffness, IBS, anxiety-linked issues… those come up a lot. I try not to rush. I’d rather go slow n consistent, combining classical concepts with modern diagnostics if needed. Blood tests, reports, scans—they help me track things while still keeping the treatment Ayurvedic in core. I’m also pretty organized about documenting my cases—not just for reference but to understand patterns better. I guess every case teaches you something new, even after hundreds of patients. And I do keep learning, whether it’s updating protocols or trying to refine a virechana schedule that didn’t go as planned. In the end, for me it’s really about finding that balance for each person... not just patching the symptom. I think that’s where Ayurveda really shines.

Since you already had a fibroid removed last year, your uterus has undergone surgery, which can sometimes temporarily affect the endometrial lining and bleeding patterns. But since you had a good period last month and then spotting this month, this looks more like a hormonal variation than a surgical complication. Do following tests to rule out the cause

1. Check your hormones: •FSH, LH, Estradiol (to assess ovarian reserve & perimenopause) •TSH, Prolactin (thyroid & pituitary can affect cycles) •AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) if you’re considering pregnancy after marriage 2.Pelvic ultrasound: •To rule out recurrence of fibroids, polyps, or thin endometrial lining 3.General health: •Keep Hb, Vit D, calcium, and iron levels checked 4.Lifestyle: • Maintain healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet rich in iron and protein • Stress management • At 42, natural fertility is lower, so it’s best to consult a gynecologist & fertility specialist soon after marriage.

Ayurvedic remedies:- 1. Ashokarishta : 10ml twice daily 2. Shatavari kalpa : one tablespoon with warm milk in the morning 3. Dashmoolarishta : 10ml at night

But these should be taken only after a doctor reviews your reports & prakriti (body constitution).

Fluctuations in menstrual flow can be influenced by various factors, especially following a fibroid removal. In Ayurveda, an irregular menstrual cycle may be due to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata. When these doshas are not in harmony, they can disrupt menstrual regularity and flow.

First, it’s essential to consider adjusting your diet, as what you eat greatly impacts dosha balance. Favor a diet that pacifies both Vata and Pitta. Include warm, cooked foods, and incorporate ghee, which is nourishing and calming. Avoid overly spicy, oily, and processed foods that aggravate Pitta, as well as cold and dry foods that might increase Vata.

Herbs may also play a role in regulating your cycle. Ayurveda recommends Ashoka (Saraca indica) and Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) for balancing menstrual issues. These herbs can be taken in either capsule form or as a decoction. Consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the ideal preparation and dosage that fits your constitution and condition.

It’s also vital to maintain regular physical activity. Gentle exercises like walking or yoga can support healthy circulation and stress management—both of which are crucial, since stress affects hormonal balance. Practicing Pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can be particularly helpful in calming the mind and balancing the doshas.

Moreover, rest is crucial. Ensure you’re getting adequate, restorative sleep, as deprivation can exacerbate Vata imbalances. Create a regular sleep routine, going to bed and waking up at the same time each day.

Consider an Ayurvedic detox procedure, known as Panchakarma, which can help cleanse the body of accumulated toxins (ama). A consultation is necessary before undertaking Panchakarma, to confirm it’s suitable for you, especially considering your post-operative status.

Lastly, since reproductive health can be quite sensitive, keep regular communication with your healthcare provider, particularly considering your plans to marry and potentially to conceive. They can provide support alongside your Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure comprehensive care.

HELLO,

After age 40,a women body begins a slow transition toward perimenopause (the years before periods naturally stop). Hormones start fluctuating, and this can cause -changes in the amount or timing of bleeding (scanty, heavy, or missed periods) -mood changes, sleep disturbance or dryness -fatigue, bloating, or breast tenderness You also had a fibroid, which means your uterus had an overgrowth of tissue earlier. Even after it’s removed , the uterus and its channels may remain weak or partially obstructed

VATA DOSHA IMBALANCE= causes irregular, scanty or missed periods, dryness, anxiety

PITTA DOSHA IMBALANCE= causes hot flashes, irritability, heavy bleeding

KAPHA DOSHA IMBALANCE= when high, causes fibroids, sluggish metabolism

After fibroid surgery, vata often becomes aggravated (due to tissue injury, dryness, and age). That vata can suppress menstrual flow- decreased menstruation

TREATMENT GOALS -restore natural menstrual rhythm -strengthen uterus and reproductive tissues -pacify vata and pitta and improve digestion -prevent fibroid recurrence by balancing kapha and removing residual toxins -promote emotional calm, vitality, and fertility readiness

INTERNAL MANAGEMENT

1) PHALA GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk every morning for 3 months =classical uterine tonic, strengthens endometrium and ovulation

2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner for 3 months =suports uterine health and hormone balance

3) PUSHYANUG CHURNA= 1 tsp with rice wash water or plain water twice daily after meals for 2 months =improves blood flow to uterus and balances vata pitta

4) SHATAVARI CHURNA = 1tsp with milk twice daily for 3 mnoths =acts as female rejuvinator, restores lubrication and strength

5) KALYANAKA GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk before sleep =works on mind, nerves and hormones

DIET -warm, freshly cooked, oily and nourishing meals -whole grains=red rice, oats , wheat -vegetables= bottle gourd, pumpkin, drumstick, beetroot, carrots -fruits= pomegranate, papaya helps flow, figs, dates, black grapes -protiens= moong dal, sesame, almonds, soaked nuts -healthy fats== ghee, sesame oil -spices= cumin, fennel, coriander, turmeric, ajwain mildly

AVOID -cold foods, and drink -ice, salads, curd at night -processed or stale food -excess sur, spicy or fried food -too much coffee/tea -white sugar and refined flour

HOME REMEDIES

1) Sesame date drink -boil 1 tsp black sesame seeds + 2 dates in 1 cup milk -> drink warm for 10 days before expected periods =improves flow and uterine warmth

2) Fenugreek water =soak 1 tsp methi seeds overnight, drink next morning =balances hormnoes and digestion

3) Warm castor oil massage on lower abdomen before periods =reduces cramps, improves flow

LIFESTYLE -keep regular sleep and wake times; avoid late nights -avoid over exercising or excessive fasting -gentle, relaxing daily avoid exposure to cold damp weather -stay emotionally balanced- stress and worry strongly disturb vata and menstrual rhythm -use mild herbal teas= cinnamon- fennel, ginger- licorice

YOGA ASANAS -baddhakonasana= opens pelvis -supta virasana= improves uterine circulation -setu bandhasana= tones reproductive organs -malasana= balances hormons -viparita kranai= excellent for relaxation

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata and pitta -bhramari= calms mind and hormones -sheetali

MEDITATION -10 min daily mindfulness or chanting “Om shanti”- regulates neuro-hormonal pathways

Your body is healing from both age related hormonal transition and surgical history The ayurvedic goal is not just to make the period come normally, but to rebuild the inner vitality that supports menstruation, fertility, emotional balance, longevity

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Scanty period with spotting, especially with a history of fibroid removal, could be due to hormonal imbalance, stress, or changes in your lifestyle. From a Ayurvedic viewpoint, these symptoms might indicate an imbalance in the Vata dosha or a weakened Agni (digestive fire), affecting the Rasa dhatu (primary nutritive fluid). Supporting hormonal balance and strengthening the reproductive system will help.

First, consider adopting a Vata-pacifying lifestyle: maintain regular sleep-wake cycles, eat warm, cooked foods, and avoid excessive cold or raw foods. Incorporate grounding practices like gentle yoga or pranayama to calm the mind. You may start with Anulom Vilom pranayama, which can be done daily for about 10 minutes.

In terms of diet, include warming spices like ginger, cumin, and cinnamon in your meals, which can support your digestive fire. Drink warm herbal teas, like fennel or ajwain tea, to aid digestion. Also, aim to incorporate healthy fats like ghee or sesame oil to nourish tissues.

Consider taking Ashoka powder, an Ayurvedic herb that supports female reproductive health. Mix 1 teaspoon with warm water and take it twice daily after meals for about three months, unless advised otherwise by an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Since you’re planning to get married, managing stress is crucial. Practicing meditation, spending time in nature, or engaging in activities that bring joy could be beneficial.

If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice. Since you’ve had fibroid surgery, ensure any suggestions align with your surgeon’s guidance. If there’s any sudden severe pain or heavy bleeding, seek immediate medical attention to rule out complications.

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 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. 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. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

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

Dr. 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.

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

Dr. 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. Suraj Amber
I am practicing Ayurveda for about 8 years now, feels strange saying that because honestly the learning never stops. My work is all about finding balance in the body, not in some abstract way, but literally working with each person’s unique prakriti and the vikriti they’re dealing with at that moment. I follow the classical principles — herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, diet corrections, lifestyle tweaks — but nothing is “one size fits all”. Each treatment plan is shaped by the person infront of me, their health history, and the small details you only catch when you really listen. Over time I’ve worked with people dealing with digestion troubles, joint pains, hormonal shifts, stress-related health dips, and even stubborn chronic stuff that didn’t respond much to other methods. My approach is to go for the root cause first, because treating just the symptoms feels like putting tape over a crack... it hides it for a while but doesn’t fix it. That’s also why I focus on prevention — if you stop the imbalance before it grows, you save a lot of pain later. I keep my learning alive by reading classical Ayurvedic texts and joining continuing education whenever I can fit it in (sometimes late nights with too much chai). And I try to pass that clarity on to patients, explaining why a certain herb or therapy is chosen, what changes they might notice, and how they can keep supporting themselves after treatment ends. For me, this is more than just work. It’s a way of living… making choices every day that keep the mind, body, and emotions in some kind of harmony. My goal is still the same as day one — offer care that’s authentic, safe, and actually works for the long run, while making sure the person feels heard and understood through the whole process.
