Connective Tissue Disorder - What Does Ayurveda Say? - #35009

Mackenzie Bailey

Following a complicated pregnancy my body literally ‘fell part.’ I was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder dispite negative genetic testing. I have accumulated many serious health conditions in the many years since. Bed bound mostly with several years unable to even hold body up. Sensitive type. Learned I have chronic infections and mold toxicity among other toxicities. From former college athlete to a near decade bed bound state with dysfunction in every system. Curious—what does Ayurveda say about connective tissue disorders/extreme tissue weakness. I was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (but negative genetic tests). I feel it is more than classical genetics. I tooks classes on Ayurveda when I was younger and it was suggested I may be Vata-Kapha dosha. Thanks for any insights. 🙏🏼

Hi Bailey, Sorry to hear that You have been diagnosed with so many conditions.

Basically if you want to understand what you are going through, in simple words I can say it as Ojo kashaya - the extreme debilitated feeling which you experiencing.

Along with Doshas there is Dhatu kshaya as well. To give you an exact term right now is not possible because of the brief explanation provided by you.

However you can consult any Ayurvedic doctor for a personalized treatment basically we identify the cause and plan treatment according.

Your picture resembles:

Vata vyadhi (chronic vata disorders with tissue degeneration).

Mamsa dhatu kshaya (muscle and connective tissue wasting/weakness).

Ojas kshaya (loss of deep immunity and vitality).

Sometimes grouped under “Sannipataja” complex disorders, where multiple doshas are involved. Rasayana (rejuvenatives):

Ashwagandha (with warm milk or ghee, if digestion permits).

Bala + milk decoctions.

Shatavari (cooling, nourishing).

Guduchi (immune-strengthening).

Medicated ghee (ghrita):

Brahmi ghrita, Ashwagandha ghrita, or plain cow ghee in very small amounts for lubrication and ojas.

2. Mild Detox (only once stronger)

Not aggressive panchakarma.

Gentle ama-pachana herbs: trikatu in micro-doses, ginger tea, coriander, fennel.

Mold toxicity is seen as ama + dushta kapha → requires slow, long-term balancing.

3. Diet

Warm, unctuous, grounding foods (soups, stews, khichdi). Avoid raw, cold, dry, or hard-to-digest foods. Favor ghee, sesame oil, well-cooked grains, root vegetables.

Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Hello, It is better to have one on one consultation, if possible face to face. By whatever you have mentioned the treatment called vasthi/basti will be very beneficial along with internal ayurveda medications. The type and duration of the therapy can be decided by the consulting ayurveda physician after a detailed history taking(including dosha vikruti-prakruti pariksha) followed by detail examination through nadi pariksha etc. Take care, Kind regards.

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.

Even without any genes involvement this is not a very curable diagnosis. But in ayurveda we can improve the quality of life with these genetic disorders. What i will suggest you is go to a nearest panchakarma center and start your treatment there 1. Abhyang with ksheer bala tail 2. Nadi savedana 3. Matra basti with ksheer bala tail. 4.

Connective tissue disorders, like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, can be quite challenging in Ayurveda due to their systemic impact on the dhatus, or tissues. In Ayurveda, tissues such as mamsa (muscle) and asthi (bone) are significant, and any “dhatu kshaya,” or loss of tissue strength, could be influenced by doshic imbalances. Given your situation, addressing Vata and Kapha imbalances may be crucial.

Vata dosha is central to movement and nervous system function, so excessive Vata might contribute to the instability and weakness in connective tissues, as well as heightened sensitivity. Kapha, on the other hand, governs structure and stability, and its imbalance can lead either to stagnation or exhaustion of these tissues.

First step, incorporating “Rasayana” practices could be beneficial for strengthening and rejuvenating tissues. “Amla” and “Ashwagandha” are often recommended, as they can help in boosting vitality, supporting the tissues, and balancing both Vata and Kapha. It’s advisable to take them with warm milk to enhance absorption, sipped in the morning.

Diet can play a pivotal role. Warm, cooked foods rich in healthy fats, like ghee and sesame oil, might nourish your dhatus and calm Vata. Avoid cold, dry, or stale foods. Incorporating spices like ginger and turmeric can stimulate Agni (digestive fire) and aid detoxification.

Lifestyle modifications are important too. Gentle, restorative practices like yoga, focusing on slow controlled movements, could support your body while avoiding excessive strain. Breathwork, particularly “Nadi Shodhana” (alternate nostril breathing), balances both body and mind, especially Vata and Kapha.

Given your condition, regular Panchakarma, particularly basti (medicated enema) could offer some rejuvenation by eliminating excess Vata. But these therapies require guidance a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

If any therapies cause discomfort, pause and consult with healthcare professionals. Safety should remain a top priority, and any drastic changes should be monitored by you healthcare team.

HELLO,

Your symptoms- extreme tisse fragility , multi organ weakness, chronic fatigue, pain, poor healing, heart rhythm issues, and nervous instability- suggest a deep depletion of body tissues with aggravation of Vata dosha

1) What is happening in the body -Vata dosha governs all movement- nerve impulses, circulation, joint mobility, elasticity, and repair -When vaya becomes excessive and unstable (due to trauma, stress, toxins, overexertion, fasting, chronic illess, childbirth complications or toxin exposure), it dries out and weakens tissues -The glue (kapha) that holds cells together becomes deficient- leading to hyperelasticity, instability,Subluxation,joint pain, skin fragility etc -Agni(digestive /metabolic fire) becomes erratic, forming AMA (toxic sludge) that blocks nutrition to deeper tissues Graduallt, Ojas (vital life- essence and immunity) gets depleted- explaining fatigue,hypersensitivity,infections, and autoimmunity So, your disorder isn’t just in the joints- it’s a systemic loss of nourishment and stability

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify and stabilise vata dosha - rebuild tissues especially muscle , connective and bone ligament - Strengthen metabolism to improve absorption and nourishment - remove toxins gently, without depleting energy - restore Ojas - calm the mind and nervous system to prevent further derangement

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily = builds muscle and nerve tissue, pacify vata, improves strength, sleep, and resilience

2) SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with milk in morning =rejuvenated tissues, supports hormones, reduces inflammation calms pitta vata

3) BALA ROOT POWDER= 1 tsp with warm milk and oil is applied externally ln massage = strengthen nerves and connective tissue, improve stamina

4) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =anti inflammatory, detoxifying, boosts immunity, balances all doshas

5) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily in morning = builds ojas, supports digestion , enhances tissue repair

6) MAHARASNADI KASHAYA= 15ml with warm water twice daily after meals = works on musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, nerve weakness

7) TRAYODASHNGA GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals = for joint stiffness, nerve pain, mild detox of toxin

8) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at night = calms mind, supports cognition, balances vata in brain

duration= usually 3 months

LIFESTYLE AND DAILY REGIMEN

KEEP WARM= avoid cold air, cold food, and cold bath REGULAR MEALS= Never skip meals, eat at same times daily ADEQUATE REST= but avoid total immobility- small, mindful movement is healing GENTLE OILING= before bath warm ksheerbala taila SLEEP = Early bedtime 10pm, avoid screens before sleep EMOTIONAL PEACE= soothing environment soft music aromatherapy

AVOID - fasting, raw salads, cold drinks, dry snacks, caffeine , alcohol - excess talking, loud sounds,stress, irregular routines -overstimulation or multi tasking vata gets aggravated

DIET -Warm, moist , mildly oily, freshly cooked, easy to digest - GRAINS= oats, rice, wheat, quninoa Avoid dry popcorn , crackers

PROTEINS= moong dal, red lentils, soft cooked beans, milk, ghee, nuts soaked

VEGETABLES= cooked root veggies, carrot, bean, yam, zucchini , pumpkin Avoid raw cruciferous veggies

FATS= ghee, sesame oil, olive oil- essential for tissue repair

SPICES= cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric , cardamom, cinnamon Avoid very spicy foods

BEVERAGES= Warm water, herbal teas ginger tulsi cinnamon tea Avoid cold, dry, fermented , processed , leftover fried foods

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -warm milk with 1/2 tsp ghee + pinch of turmeric - night tonic - ginger tea with tulsi- mild detox, boosts immunity -Massage feet with sesame oil before sleep- improves sleep and calm vata -soak 5 almonds overnight- eat peeled in morning with milk - small ghee and rice porridge when digestion is weak- restorative and grounding

YOHA ASANAS Since you’re often bed bound or low energy, focus on gentle, grounding non exertional practices - supta baddhakonasana = opens hip gently - balasana= calming for vata - viparita karani= restores circulation - shavasana= daily with breath awareness

avoid overstretching- joints are already hyper mobile

PRANAYAM - nadi sodhana = balances doshas stabilise nerves - bhramari = calms anxiety, supports sleep - deep diaphragmatic breathing - improves oxygenation and energy Avoid Kapalabhati or bhastrika

Ayurveda sees your condition not as a genetic curse, but as a reversible energetic imbalance - though slow and delicate The approach is not to fight the disease but to rebuild your inner strength, nourish your tissues, and stabilise your essence Healing will be gradual- often noticeable in months not weeks but deeply transformative when consistent

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHE BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Connective tissue disorders, like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, seen through the Ayurvedic lens, often involve an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement, space, and air elements in the body. The pathways that move energy, known as nadis, and the seven tissue layers (sapta dhatus) are crucial here in this context. Weakness in these tissues can result from an impaired digestive fire (agni), leading to accumulation of toxins (ama).

You mention being a Vata-Kapha constitution; hence, addressing Vata first will be key because it deals with movement and nervous system management. You might start by focusing on oil therapies, as they can be grounding. Abhyanga, a self-oil massage, using warm sesame or Ashwagandha oil, can nourish tissues. Do this gently, 2-3 times a week, preferably in the morning before bathing.

Dietary adjustments could also be beneficial. Warm, cooked foods, and spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic can support your digestive fire. Avoid raw salads, cold foods, and anything too dry or light. Eating at regular intervals and avoiding fasting or skipping meals is advisable.

Given the chronic infections and mold toxicity, strengthening your immune system will be pivotal. Herbs like Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) might help. They can be taken in powdered form, 1 tsp daily, mixed with warm water.

Lastly, therapy like Shirodhara, where warm oil is poured onto the forehead, could be calming for the nervous system. However, given your complex medical history, consult a local Siddha-Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide more in-depth support alongside your current medical care to tailor this accurately to your unique situation. It’s vital to coordinate this with your existing health team, especially since your condition is serious, involving multiple systems such as neurological and musculo-skeletal.

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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting).

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. 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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

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.
