how to reduce inflammation in body and cells - #34910

Marie Akin

I have chronic allergies that started after stressful events. I was in a toxic relationship that made things worse. How do I detox my body (liver, kidney, blood, brain). I have history of mercury fillings which I have removed many years ago. I hear that hides in the fatty tissue of the brain so I want to be careful not to move that around if I can’t get rid of it permanently. I just want to reduce overall inflammation. Hoping for a regimen I can follow for at least 90 days.

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.

HELLO MARIE,

You are experiencing systemic inflammation and hypersensitivity (allergies) that began after chronic stress and emotional trauma. Stress dysregulates your immune and hormonal systems (particularly the HPA axis- hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal). This can -increase cortisol and adrenaline, causing immune imbalance -weaken detox pathways (liver, kidney, lymph) -trigger inflammatory cytokines, leading to allergies, fatigue, brain fog, and skin or sinus symptoms -mercury exposure (from old fillings) may add to oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation, especially in the brain and fatty tissues

In Ayurvedic view your symptoms represent vata-pitta vitiation with ama accumulation

so , you are in a state of vata-pitta aggravation with low Ojas and presence of Ama- causing inflammation, hypersensitivity, and fatigue

TREATMENT GOALS -detoxify the body gently -pacify vata and pitta -rebuild Ojas -support safe removal of stored toxins -rebalance digestion -restore mind body harmony through routine, meditation, and restorative practices

INTERNAL TREATMENT

FOR DIGESTIVE FIRE CORRECTION -TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp before meals with warm water for 4-6 weeks =improves metabolism and clear toxins

FOR LIVER DETOX AND ANTI INFLAMATIORY -GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= twice daily after meals for 3 months =cools inflammation, supports liver, builds immunity

FOR KIDNEY AND FLUID METABOLISM -PUNARNAVA CAPSULES= 500 mg twice daily for 3 months =clears skin, blood, and lymph of toxins

FOR NERVINE AND ADAPTOGEN -ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 500 mg twice daily after meal for 3 months =calms stress, supports brain and adrenals

FOR BRAIN AND MERCURY SUPPORT -BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily for 3 months =neuroprotective, supports gentle detox from brain

FOR REJUVINATION -CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp morning empty stomach =rebuilds Ojas, strengthens lungs, skin , immunity

FOR GUT CLEANSE -TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =cleanses intestines, balances all doshas

YOGA, MEDITATION, PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances vata , pitta and calms nervous system -sheetali/sheetkari= cooling breath, reduces inflammation -anulom vilom= detoxifies lungs, improves oxygenation

YOGA ASANAS -cat-cow pose -forward bend -spinal twist -legs up the wall

MEDITATION -reduces stress heals trauma stabilises immunity for 20 min/day

WALKING IN NATURE -grounding, vata balance 20-30 min/day

DIET -warm , freshly cooked, mildly spiced meals -khichdi (mung dal + basmati rice + ghee + turmeric + cumin + coriander + fennel) -steamed vegetables- zucchini, pumpkin, beetroot, spinach, bottle gourd -healthy fats= ghee, olive oil ,coconut oil -herbs= turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel, cardamom -warm water with lemon or ginger in morning -herbal teas= cumin-coriander-fennel , tulsi , guduchi, licorice, chamomile -fruits= ripe papaya, pomegranate, pear, apple (cooked if digestion weak) -soaked almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds

AVOID -processed foods, fried, spicy, sour, fermented foods -alcohol, coffee, black tea -red meat, leftover foods -artificial sweetners , white sugar -dairy if allergic or congestive

HOME REMEDIES -Turmeric milk at night -CCF tea= sip warm all day -aloe vera juice= 1 tbsp before meals -lemon + ghee detox= 1 tsp ghee in warm water each morning -triphala eye wash

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -sleep early 10 pm and rise with sunrise -maintain regular routine -avoid multitasking, overstimulation, emotional drama -gentle sunlight exposure for vitamin D -practice gratitude, journaling, and grounding -avoid suppressing natural urge (urination, sneezing, hunger, tears ) -spend time in nature- bare feet on grass balances vata instantly

Your body isn’t broken- it’s overloaded and seeking balance Healing inflamation after trauma is as much emotional detox as physical. Ayurveda teaches that the mind, body , and enivronment are one.

Be patient- true detox and cellular repair take time -focus on consistency, calmness ,and nourishment not deprivation -Avoid aggressive “detox kits” or chelation programs unless medically supervised

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Reducing inflammation in your body through Ayurveda involves a holistic approach that considers your unique constitution, or prakriti, and addresses the root causes. Let’s explore some practical steps. To start detoxifying your system, a gentle Panchakarma routine may be beneficial under the guidance of an experienced practitioner, as it helps cleanse toxins, or ama, and balance your doshas.

Begin your day with warm lemon water to aid digestion and wake up your agni, or digestive fire. Follow a diet that pacifies inflammation by including fresh, organic vegetables, and reduce pro-inflammatory foods such as processed foods, sugar, and alcohol. Turmeric and ginger are powerful anti-inflammatory agents; use them often in your cooking or as teas. Triphala, an ayurvedic herb blend, is fantastic for gently detoxifying the liver and aiding digestion; consider taking it in powder form at night with warm water.

Practices like Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, can be calming and supportive to both mind and body, drawing toxins back to the digestive tract for elimination. Carefully chose yoga practices and pranayama exercises such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) would maintain balance.

Your lifestyle will be significant here, too; prioritize regular sleep, maintain consistent meals, and minimize stress through meditation. Ensure you get enough rest and aim to sleep by 10 p.m.; the body’s natural detox phase happens during early nighttime hours.

For any concerns related to mercury or its detoxification, consulting with both a qualified healthcare provider and an Ayurvedic specialist is essential. Some detox protocols can mobilize the toxins without adequate elimination pathways, leading to redistribution instead of excretion. Therefore, professional guidance will be vital to ensure safe and effective detoxification. Be consistent with the regimen for the full 90 days to let your body adjust and improve.

Inflammation often has deep roots in how imbalances in the body impact your overall wellness. Given your situation, the goal should be on reducing inflammation through balancing the doshas, primarily Pitta, since it relates to fire and metabolism. We’ll focus on gentle but effective detoxification pathways that harmonize with your current needs.

Start with incorporating Triphala into your daily regimen. It’s a traditional formulation that’s excellent for detoxifying the colon and has antioxidant properties. Take 1 teaspoon in warm water before bed.

Next, address your diet by including anti-inflammatory foods. Leafy greens, turmeric, ginger, and amalaki (Indian gooseberry) can be very beneficial. Reduce intake of processed foods and heavy meats that could stress the liver and other digestive organs.

For liver detoxification, you might want to use herbs like Bhumi Amla, which is gentle yet supportive of liver function. You can take these as capsules after consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Support your kidneys and blood purification with Punarnava and Manjistha, respectively. These are excellent for enhancing renal function and circulation. Typically, these should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning, but precise doses will need a holistic assessment of your constitution.

To avoid mobilizing toxins excessively, enhance Agni (digestive fire) without overheating your system. Sip warm water throughout the day mixed with cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds.

For the mind, practice meditation or prana exercises — focusing on calming your thoughts and reducing stressors that led to this situation. Try to incorporate 15 minutes in the morning and evening.

Ensure your detox regimen is overseen by a professional who can adjust it to your personal Prakriti and Vikriti. This approach is holistic, aiming to balance doshas gradually, preventing disturbances such as mercury moving improperly within tissues.

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. 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. 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. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

Dr. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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?
