These are supportive/natural care tips, not a replacement for oncologist’s treatment.

1. Dietary Adjustments

Prefer small, frequent meals instead of 2–3 large ones.

Avoid gas-forming foods: beans, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, very fatty/fried foods, carbonated drinks.

Choose easily digestible, soft foods: khichdi, rice porridge, well-cooked veggies, clear soups, oatmeal.

Ginger tea / ginger lozenges: very effective for nausea (approved even during chemo).

Banana, applesauce, rice, toast – soothing for sensitive gut.

2. For Constipation & Bloating

Instead of prune juice (which may worsen gas), try:

Stewed apples or pears (gentler on stomach).

Isabgol (psyllium husk) in warm water or milk (if no obstruction in bowels).

Warm water sipping throughout the day.

Light abdominal massage with warm castor oil or sesame oil may relieve bloating.

3. For Nausea

Ginger (fresh or powder in warm water) or peppermint tea.

Deep breathing + slow sips of cool water.

Eating something dry (like plain crackers or toast) before taking chemo meds.

4. Lifestyle

Encourage him to walk a little after meals (10–15 min, very slow).

Avoid lying flat immediately after food.

Use a slightly propped-up pillow when resting to reduce reflux.

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.

I’m sorry to hear that your husband is going through this difficult time. Dealing with the symptoms of adenocarcinoma (a type of cancer) and the side effects of chemotherapy, like bloating, stomach pain, and nausea, can be very challenging.

Advice for Digestion

In Ayurveda, issues like bloating and pain are often related to an imbalance in Vata dosha, specifically Apana Vayu (downward moving energy) and Samana Vayu (digestion-governing energy), often compounded by a weakened digestive fire, or Agni, which chemotherapy can severely diminish.

The goal is to gently stoke Agni without aggravating the stomach lining, promote downward movement (Vata), and soothe the inflammation.

1. Dietary Adjustments (Ahara) The diet should be very light, easy to digest, warm, and soothing.

Avoid Raw Foods: Completely avoid raw salads, large amounts of raw fruit, and cold beverages. These extinguish Agni and increase Vata, leading to more bloating.

Focus on Warm, Cooked Foods:

Grains: Basmati rice (well-cooked and soft), oats (as a warm porridge).

Soups and Stews: Clear vegetable broths (made from carrots, zucchini, squash) are excellent. Soups should be very simple and not overly spiced.

Cooked Vegetables: Cooked carrots, zucchini, squash, and sweet potatoes are generally easier to digest than fibrous vegetables like broccoli or beans.

Ghee: Small amounts of ghee (clarified butter) can be very beneficial. It is easy to digest, nourishes the tissues, and helps soothe the digestive tract. It can be added to rice or soups.

Small, Frequent Meals: To avoid taxing the weakened digestive system, encourage him to eat smaller portions more frequently (5-6 small meals) rather than 3 large ones.

Hydration: Sip warm water throughout the day. Avoid drinking large amounts of water with meals, as this dilutes the digestive enzymes.

2. Gentle Spices and Herbs (Aushadha) Using a few simple, easily accessible spices can help reduce gas and nausea. Again, clear these with his doctor first.

For Bloating and Gas (Vata):

Ginger: Fresh ginger can be a powerful tool, but since he is experiencing stomach pain, it must be used very gently. Try sipping warm water with a few thin slices of fresh ginger (not powdered) about 30 minutes before a meal.

Hing (Asafoetida): A tiny pinch of hing (cooked in a small amount of ghee) and added to his soups or rice can be very helpful for reducing bloating and gas.

For Nausea (Kapha/Pitta):

Cardamom: Chewing on a few seeds of green cardamom or drinking it as a light tea can often settle a nauseous stomach.

Fennel: A light fennel seed tea after meals can aid digestion and reduce discomfort.

3. Regarding Prune Juice While prune juice is used to encourage bowel movements (addressing Apana Vayu imbalance), it can also be very heavy and sugary, which might be fermenting in his gut and contributing to the bloating and pain.

A Gentler Alternative: Instead of the juice, try soaking 3-5 organic raisins or dried figs overnight in warm water. He can drink the water and eat the soaked fruit first thing in the morning. This is often a gentler and less gas-producing way to support elimination.

4. Lifestyle (Vihara) Rest: Adequate rest is paramount for healing.

Gentle Movement: If he is able, a very gentle walk (10-15 minutes) after a meal can encourage downward flow of Vata and improve digestion.

Mindfulness: Stress heavily aggravates Vata. Encourage simple relaxation techniques, deep breathing, or very gentle, non-strenuous meditation.

Warm Abdominal Application: Placing a warm (not hot) water bottle or heating pad over his abdomen can often provide immediate, soothing relief from pain and cramping.

I hope these traditional suggestions, implemented carefully and in consultation with his medical team, can bring him some comfort and relief during his treatment.

Herbal Decoctions & Teas - Coriander + cumin + fennel tea: After meals to reduce bloating - Licorice + ginger decoction: For nausea and gut healing - Mint water: 2 drops mint oil in warm water for instant gas relief

External Therapies - Warm castor oil pack on abdomen: Weekly to relieve bloating and pain - Gentle abdominal massage with Bala-Ashwagandha Taila: 2–3x/week - Foot massage with ghee at night: Calms Vata and improves sleep

Dietary Tips - Warm, soft, spiced meals: Kitchari, root vegetables, ghee - Avoid raw, cold, or fermented foods - Small frequent meals: To reduce digestive strain - Prune juice: Continue if it helps, but rotate with stewed figs or soaked raisins

Hope your husband will get well soon.

Managing your husband’s symptoms with an Ayurvedic approach involves understanding the root of his discomfort, aiming to balance his doshas, especially during and post his chemotherapy. Bloating, stomach pain, and nausea here could be linked to weakened agni (digestive fire) and imbalances in vata and pitta. Start with dietary modifications that are simple and soothing to the digestive system.

Include cooked, warm, and easily digestible foods - like khichdi made with equal parts of rice and mung dal. Make it more digestible by adding spices like turmeric and cumin seeds; these support digestion. Ginger tea can also be a natural and gentle way to counter nausea - boil a few slices of fresh ginger in water and let him sip it throughout the day. This can aid digestion while reducing nausea too.

Prune juice may not be ideal for him now, as it might aggravate vata, contributing more to bloating. Instead, consider fresh pomegranate juice, which is known to be soothing and can help enhance appetite without further irritating his system.

To calm the stomach further and support digestion, he could try taking a small amount of trikatu churna with a teaspoon of honey before meals. Trikatu can help rekindle the digestive fire and regulate discomfort, however, due to chemo-related nausea it must be experimented with cautiously.

Encourage him to eat in a relaxed environment, chewing food slowly for better digestion. Simple breathing exercises like nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can have a positive impact on balancing doshas, relieving stress, and assisting with stomach discomfort. They’re very easy to learn and can be done daily.

It’s crucial to keep in communication with your healthcare provider, particularly for his ongoing cancer treatment. Ayurvedic practices should complement his medical care, not replace. Always confirm compatibility with any existing treatments or medications.

Bloating, stomach pain, and nausea are common issues when dealing with adenocarcinoma and undergoing chemotherapy. While it’s essential to follow medical advice and treatment plans prescribed by oncologists, there are Ayurvedic approaches that can offer some support.

Firstly, focusing on balancing the vata dosha is crucial, as it relates to digestive disturbances. For bloating and pain, try preparing cooked meals with warming, anti-inflammatory spices such as turmeric, ginger, and cumin. These spices can be added to soups or broths—easier to digest and gentler on his stomach. Preparing khichdi, a rice and lentil dish, can be soothing and nutritionally supportive. Add a pinch of hing (asafoetida) to the dish as it can help reduce gas and bloating.

Prune juice might be too heavy or cold-natured; try warm water with lemon and a touch of honey first thing in the morning to gently stimulate digestion. Nausea induced by chemotherapy can be partially alleviated by sipping on ginger tea or chewing on a small piece of fresh ginger through the day.

For external relief, consider castor oil packs applied to the abdomen. Warm some castor oil, soak a cloth, and place it on the stomach, covering it with a plastic wrap and applying a hot water bottle for around 30 minutes. He should stick to soft, cooked meals, avoiding raw vegetables which might aggravate bloating.

These suggestions should accompany ongoing medical care. If his discomfort worsens or doesn’t subside, urgently consulting with his healthcare provider is necessary, as these symptoms could indicate more serious complications needing immediate attention.

HELLO AUDREY,

WHAT IS SMALL INTESTINE ADENOCARCINOMA? -It is a type of cancer that starts in the lining of the small intestine (usually the duodenum or jejenum). The small intestine is responsible for digestion food and absorbing nutrients

When a tumor grows there, or when chemotherapy affects the lining, it causes -bloating -stomach pain -loss of appetite -nausea -constipation or loose stools -fatigue

HOW AYURVEDA SEES IT -In Ayurveda, this conditio reflects a dee disturbance of “Agni” (digestive fire) and accumulation of “ama” (undigested toxins) that block the normal flow of vata and pitta energies in the gut.

It is classified under “Grahani roga” (intestinal disorders affecting absorption) and “Arbuda” (abnormal tissue growth)

Due to weak agni, food is not properly digested-> gas and toxins build up-> tissues become weak-> discomfort and disease progress

TREATMENT GOALS -improve digestion -reduce bloating and gas -detoxify and clear ama -support liver and immunity -manage nausea and maintain appetite -strengthen body and mind

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= ¼ tsp with warm water before meals for 3 weeks =reduces gas, improves digestion

2) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before bedtime =natural detox, relieves constipation, cleanses gut

3) TAKRA (spiced buttermilk)= ½ cup after lunch =restores gut flora, reduces bloating

4) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs in morning for 3 months =supports immunity and detoxifies

5) SHATAVARI CHUNRA= 1 tsp with warm milk for 2 months =strengthens tissues, reduces fatigue

DIET -food should be warm, soft, freshly cooked, and light -eat small frequent meals; avoid long fasting -avoid cold, heavy, or fried foods

INCLUDE -moong dal soup, thin khichdi -rice gruel with cumin or ginger -boiled vegetables- bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd, carrot -steamed apples or pears -spiced buttermilk or thin curd soup -ginger tea, mint tea, pomegranate juice- diluted -warm water infused with cumin-fennel-coriander

AVOID -raw salads -cold milk, cheese, yogurt at night -processed foods, bakery items, refined sugar -onions , garlic, chilli and spicy pickles irritate gut -alcohol, coffee, carbonated drinks

LIFESTYLE REST= take frequent short rests, avoid overexertion SLEEP= 7-8 hours , preferably 10pm-6am ROUTINE= regular meal and sleep timings suppots agni STRESS= avoid stress, anger, excessive talking after meals BATH= warm bath after mild oil massage ENVIRONMENT= calm, clean, positive atmosphere with soothing music or prayers

YOGA-gentle, non straining practices only- avoid pressure on abdomen -sukshma vyayana= mild joint movemnts -pawanmuktsana= very mild form only -vajrasana = aids digestion -anulom vilom= 5-10 min daily -bhramari= for calmness -shavasana= 10 min daily

AVOID -intense asanas -deep forward bends or twisting -holding breath for long

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -Ginger – cumin tea= boil ½ inch ginger + ½ tsp cumin seeds in 1 cup water, sip warm before meals -Ajwain water= sip after meals for gas relief -Pomegranate peel decoction= boil dried pomegranate peel with cardamom for nausea -Warm lemon water in morning= stimulates mild digestion and reduces morning bloating -Steamed carom leaf with rock salt- relieves indigestion

-Ayurveda supports healing, not replaces chemotherapy -The key is balance, warmth, and gentleness- nothing extreme -focus on small imporvements- digestion, comfort, sleep, peace of mind -Encourage positivity- healing is not only physical, but emotional

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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. 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. 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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. 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. Vijayalaxmi Teradahalli
I am an Ayurvedic physician with clinical experience in both integrative setups and more focused specialty roles—which honestly gave me a pretty wide-angle view of how Ayurveda fits into modern patient care. I worked as the Clinic Head at Madhavbaug in Bangalore, where I wasn’t just doing OPD rounds—I was planning full treatment flows, coordinating team work, following up lab trends, and helping ppl navigate chronic issues like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and early-stage cardiac concerns. That job made me think way more about how Ayurveda can support preventive cardiology, not just wait for something to go wrong. Then came a whole different space—my time as duty doctor at a maternal hospital. It was intense, but super valuable. I worked closely with mothers through their antenatal and postnatal phases, and learned how to weave Ayurvedic support into that space without overloading the system. Like, knowing when to use a herbal decoction vs when just timing a meal better might shift the outcome. There were also moments where I had to adjust protocols based on what was happening in real time—not everything follows the textbook. Across both places, one thing stayed common—I focused hard on root-cause thinking. Not just patching up numbers or covering symptoms. I try to build care that lasts beyond that one consult. Whether it’s tweaking an oil to match a dosha shift, or helping someone actually follow a sleep routine without making them feel guilty for missing it... I believe real care is flexible, but still rooted in the classics. I use Panchakarma selectively—like Virechana or Basti when truly called for—and combine that with solid dietary advice, patient-led journaling, and mind-body awareness. I don't force rigid changes. I work with the patient's rhythm. That way it sticks better. For me, it’s not just about prescribing herbs or quoting sutras. It’s about building trust, helping people reconnect with their bodies, and using Ayurveda in a way that fits their life—not in a way that overwhelms it. That’s the kind of work I’m trying to build, one step at a time.

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.

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.
