In Ayurveda, conception is viewed as a deeply holistic process that involves both the physical and emotional health of the parents. When it comes to conceiving with the help of medicine, such as fertility treatments or hormones, it’s important to understand that while these methods can support the body in achieving pregnancy, they may not always address the underlying balance of the doshas and overall vitality, which can influence the health of the child. In your case, having PCOD can affect hormonal balance, and fertility treatments may sometimes have side effects, potentially impacting the health of the mother or child if not carefully monitored.

On the other hand, Ayurvedic approaches to conception focus on balancing the body’s internal energies and creating an optimal environment for the embryo. Natural remedies, including cooling herbs and fertility-enhancing treatments, are believed to support both the health of the mother and the development of the child, including the mind. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of the mental and emotional state during conception, as well as the diet and lifestyle choices, which can nurture the physical and intellectual qualities of the child. Herbs like Shatavari, Ashwagandha, and Brahmi are traditionally used to enhance reproductive health and support overall vitality.

As for the concern regarding “cooling pills” and their impact on the child’s mind, it is not accurate to say that such treatments would hinder the development of the child’s intellect. Cooling herbs, such as Amla, and balanced approaches in Ayurveda aim to calm excess Pitta (heat) in the body, which can enhance fertility and the overall mental state of the mother. It’s important to recognize that Ayurveda takes a comprehensive view of conception, focusing on the health of both parents, the nourishment of the uterus, and the balance of the doshas, rather than just the method of conception itself. For personalized advice, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended to guide you through the most suitable and safe approach to conception.

Now, that’s an interesting concern you’ve got there. Some people believe that using medicine to assist conception can have effects on a child’s health, but let’s break it down a bit. From an Ayurvedic perspective, the approach is always to nurture the body and the mind for both parents before conception. This means focusing on a balanced lifestyle, eating right according to your dosha, and reducing stress. These are the basic building blocks for ensuring that both the parents are healthy and, as a result, the child too.

When it comes to “cooling pills,” it sounds a bit like you’re referring to something that pacifies Pitta—one of the three doshas. A medicine or remedy that cools or calms the body is beneficial to counteract any Pitta imbalance, which can lead to irritation, heat, or even digestion issues. This doesn’t mean that taking such remedies will hinder a child’s mental development.

For a child’s healthy development, before and during pregnancy, focus on a sattvic diet – which is rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy. Ghee, almonds, and walnuts, specifically, are excellent for brain health. Also, taking Ashwagandha and Brahmi may be helpful since they’re known for supporting mental clarity and reducing stress—but always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.

Incorporating yoga and meditation can also aide in nurturing a calm and balanced mind for both parents, which is crucial for a nurturing environment for the baby.

If there’s an underlying concern or serious condition affecting natural conception, it’s wise to consult both an Ayurvedic physician and a modern healthcare professional to get a well-rounded perspective. Balancing both approaches might give you the best of both worlds. Keep it holistic and kind to your body, and you’ll be doing the best you can for your little one.

Dr. Nikhil Zalaki
I am working with a mix of Ayurveda and allopathy knowledge, and sometimes I switch between both in my mind before deciding what actually fits the patient better. My base is always Ayurveda, but I don’t ignore the practical benifits of allopathic understanding, especially when I want a clearer clinical picture. I try to keep the approach simple: listen to the patient first, then choose the line of treatment they feel comfortable with, even though I gently lean them toward Ayurvedic care because I see more steady results there. I am particularly involved in spine-care cases, and over time I treated many pts with different kinds of back issues—some mild, some too stubborn—and honestly I learned a lot just by watching how their body respond day after day. Sometimes I adjust a therapy plan halfway because something feels not fully right, or I pause and rethink the whole routine if the improvement is slow. But in most cases I did notice good results, especially with therapies like abhyanga, basti, or even simple posture corrections backed by Ayurvedic principles. I like creating a treatment path that doesn’t force the patient into one strict system; instead I choose what aligns with their interest and condition. Though personally, I prefer Ayurveda because it works deeper and calmer, and I’ve seen how it helps the spine regain some strength and ease. And maybe I type a sentence twice when I explain all this, but the goal stays the same—give the person a healing plan that genuinely help them move pain-free and more confident in their own body.

Dr. Batu
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

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. Shweta
I am working across different setups in Ayurveda, and sometimes when I look back I feel like each place shaped one small part of how I treat today. I started at the Government Ayurveda Medical College, where I got hands-on exposure to the classical side of chikitsa, the kind we usually only read in texts but then suddenly you’re applying it on real patiants and noticing how small changes matter. I didn’t fully understand everything at first, honestly, but slowly my confidence grew in reading symptoms the Ayurvedic way. Then my work at "KCG Hospital, Malleswaram Bangalore" pushed me into a more structured clinical flow. There, the OPDs were fast, the cases were mixed, and I had to sharpen the way I decide things quickly, sometimes wishing I had few more minutes with each patient but still trying to give the best guidnce I could. That pace kind of trained my mind to hold multiple thoughts at once without losing the thread. Working at the "Epidemic Hospital" felt different and a bit intense… seeing conditions that spread fast, managing people who were scared or confused, it changed my approach toward community-level health. Ayurveda’s preventive concepts suddenly made more sense, not only as theory but like a living tool we can actually apply in crisis. Right now, my experience with the **NIMHANS Integrative Medicine Department** stays closest to me. It opened a new angle on how Ayurveda can work along with other systems, especially in cases that need gentler, long-term healing. I sometimes catch myself thinking deeper about mind-body links after a OPD day there, like trying to understand where exactly the imbalance started and how we can support the person without rushing or forcing things. These journeys togather gave me a wider, more grounded understanding of clinical ayurveda, and even though I still keep learning each day (some days more clumsily than I admit), I try to meet every patient with the same intention—to give authentic care, to listen properly, and to use the principles that actually help in their condition.

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. 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. 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. Harsh Khandelwal
I am a fresher doctor stepping into practice with lot of curiosity and some nervousness too if i’m honest. My training gave me a foundation in Ayurveda principles, where health is not just the absence of illness but a balance between doshas, agni, dhatu & mind. I might not carry decades of expereince yet, but I hold patience and dedication which sometimes matter more than numbers. During study years I worked through cases of common disorders, watching how small changes in ahara-vihara and simple herbal formulations could transform patient comfort. It showed me that ayurveda is not about complicate plans but about restoring rhythm of body. I keep strong interest in musculoskeletal disorders like joint pain, stiffness, backache, where lifestyle corrections plus treatments like abhyanga, swedana and panchakarma therapies show amazing recovery. Also conditions of women health—PCOD, infertility, menstrual irregularities—are areas I want to focus deeply, as these affect daily living so much yet often stay under-discussed. I also learned about auto-immune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, aamavata, psoriatic arthritis, how tricky they are, and I feel motivated to study and treat them further with careful, step by step methods. As a fresher, I know my journey just starting. I am still shaping my skills, still questioning which approach work best, sometimes even re-checking basic things twice. But I believe this stage is also strength, because I come with open mind, no rigid habits, and eagerness to listen. I do not rush into decisions, rather I take time to observe each case, to connect symptoms with underlying dosha imbalance. I feel each patient teach something new and every treatment outcome is like a page added in my learning. I may not be perfect yet, but I am commited to honesty in my care, keeping focus on natural healing, preventive health, and respecting both modern diagnostics and traditional ayurveda wisdom. For me it is about building trust slowly, showing patients that even a fresher can hold responsibility with sincerity, and growing together step by step.

Dr. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

Dr. Uday Khachar
I am fresh out of my BAMS and kind of still feeling my way through this big world of Ayurveda, and sometimes I catch myself digging too deep into new modes of therapy that our classical texts mention but we don’t always explore enough in daily practice. I am trying to understand how these concepts actually fit into real pts, real issues, not just theory on paper, and honestly that part excites me more than I thought. I am learning to look at health in a broader frame, seeing how dosha, agni, ama all play out together, and I keep noting small things that make big sense later. Some days I question if I am going too slow or missing something, but then I realise this phase of experimenting, reading, and observing the tiniest changes in people is important too. I am trying to blend these therapies gently into my approach, like testing how certain modalities respond better for digestion troubles or for stress patterns, and I feel like gradually I am shaping my own way of treating. Maybe it sounds a bit messy right now, but I want my practice to be grounded in authenticity and still open to new interpretations within Ayurveda. I am hoping that as I move ahead, these early experiences with new conceptual therapies sort of give me a stronger foundation, and even if the journey is not perfectly straight, I know I am working toward something meaningful for my future patients.

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.
