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. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

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

Dr. 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. 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.

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

Dr. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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. 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. 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). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.
