GERD IBS issues, abdominal cramps - #35264

Deva

Hello team, My age is 44, and i am from Hyderabad, I am going to GERD issues since long time but realized very late. As soon as i eat i used to feel bloating, slow digestion. my stomach was always full of gas. Few mistakes what i did was taking heavy amla, wheat grass, and citric juices, and also ash guard juices. I has my Umbilical HERNIA open surgery operation in 2023. Now I lost weight from 69 to 64, and muscle & thighs loss, hormonal imbalance and become lean. I wasn't sure whether whether it was kidneys problems or liver or gall bladder or pancreas issues so I recently did my Master health check up and everything seems to be good but below are few highlights of the master check up. I also did Hpylori test: which is +ve T3 is 0.76ng/ML, T4 is 8.4 ug/dL and TSH is 0.17 uIU/ML S Creatine is 1.2 mg/dL HbA1C is 6.1% estimated average is 128 mg/DL LDL is 172 mg/DL Triglycerides 149 mg/dL LDL/HDL Ratio is 4.4 must be less than 3.5 NON HDL Cholesterol is 202 mg/dL Specific Gravitiy is urine(RUE) is 1.025 must be 1.010

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

Hi Deva,

I can understand your concern.Your symptoms — GERD (acid reflux), IBS, bloating, early fullness, constipation, weight loss, and hormonal imbalance — indicate a combination of weak digestive fire (Mandagni) but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

Since your Helicobacter pylori test is positive, it shows that your stomach lining is inflamed, which further weakens digestion and nutrient absorption.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

1️⃣ For GERD, acidity, and H. pylori

Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp before meals with warm water Sutshekhar Ras – 1-0-1 after food Kamdugdha Ras – 1-0-1 after food

2️⃣ For IBS, gas & bloating

Kutajarishta – 20 ml twice a day after food Hingvashtak Churna – ½ tsp with warm water just before lunch

3️⃣ For appetite, digestion & strength

Chitrakadi Vati – 1 tab twice a day before food Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp with milk at bedtime for strength and stress relief

✅ Dietary Guidance (Pathya-Apathya)

✅Include-

Warm, light, cooked food (khichdi, dal-rice, soups) Freshly prepared meals; avoid skipping meals Use cumin, ajwain, black pepper, and hing for digestion 1 tsp cow ghee daily helps pacify acidity Coconut water or warm jeera water between meals

❌Avoid

Cold drinks, tea/coffee, alcohol Fried, spicy, sour foods, tomato, pickles, curd at night Processed food and eating in a hurry Eating when stressed or angry

✅Lifestyle & Stress Management

Practice deep breathing (Anulom Vilom, Sheetali Pranayama) daily for 10–15 min.

Meditation or light yoga (Pawanmuktasana, Vajrasana after meals).

Sleep 7–8 hours and maintain a regular routine.

Try to manage stress gently — job loss stress can strongly aggravate gut symptoms, so focus on calmness and routine healing.

✅Home Remedies

Morning empty stomach: Drink warm water with a pinch of turmeric + 1 tsp honey. Chew 5–6 Tulsi leaves or drink tulsi-ginger tea.

Take ½ tsp licorice powder (Yashtimadhu) in warm milk for acidity. Take 1 tsp aloe vera juice + 1 tsp amla juice twice a day before meals to cool the stomach.

✅Note

Because H. pylori is positive, complete your antibiotic or triple therapy course if prescribed by your doctor.

This regimen will strengthen your Agni, heal gastric mucosa, improve bowel regularity, and balance stress hormones. 🌿

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Considering your symptoms with GERD and the positive H. pylori test, we need to address your digestive system’s imbalance while being mindful of your recent surgical history. GERD and IBS often relate to agni or digestive fire imbalances in Ayurveda, generally linked to a Pitta imbalance. Here’s a plan that would align with Ayurvedic principles:

Firstly, focus on your diet. Simplify and balance meals, avoid foods that aggravate Pitta like excessively spicy, sour, or salty items, and those you mentioned as rough on your system, like citrus and heavy juices. Instead, opt for easily digestible foods like oatmeal, rice, or well-cooked vegetables. Drinking warm water and consuming ginger tea can aid digestion and esophageal soothing. Try to have meals at regular intervals and avoid late-night eating; give ample time to digest before sleeping.

Given your thyroid levels, balancing hormones through diet and lifestyle could be beneficial. Triphala, an ayurvedic blend of three fruits, taken at night with warm water, might support digestion and detoxification without aggressive cleansing effects. It’s also generally mild enough not to disturb Pitta.

Regarding muscle and weight loss, incorporate high-quality plant proteins like lentils and legumes, and ensure adequate healthy fats from sources like ghee and sesame oil. These can help in nourishing the dhatus and improving overall vitality.

Focus on lifestyle adjustments too. Incorporate stress-reducing practices such as Pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can be beneficial in balancing doshas and improving gut health. Ensure adequate rest, and if possible, get gentle exercises like walking or yoga to foster a stronger metabolic state without exerting excess strain.

Your thyroid levels and cholesterol suggest the need for regulat monitoring. In severe or persistent symptoms, don’t delay to seek medical advice. A combination of Ayurveda and conventional medicine can be harmonized for best outcomes. Always check with your healthcare team, especially before starting new herbal supplements or major diet changes, to ensure compatibility with your unique health status.

HELLO DEVA,

1) DOSHA IMBALANCE= PITTA-VATA DOMINANCE -GERD, hyperacidity, bloating -> pitta aggravation -IBS, slow digestion, weight loss, muscle thining-> vata aggravation

KAPHA DERANGEMENT is mild but may contribute to sluggish digestion if present

2) DIGESTIVE FIRE -your agni is weak -> incomplete digestion, bloating, gas, and weight loss

3) AMA (toxins/undigested food) -accumulation in the stomach/intestine-> bloating, heaviness, slow digestion

4) DHATU DEPLETION -muscle and thigh loss-> mamsa dhatu (muscle tissue) and meda dhatu (fat tissue) depletion

TREATMENT GOALS -Digestive healing= improve digestive fire to reduce bloating, gas, and slow digestion -Gut detox and H. pylori management -Pitta vata balance= reduce acidity and calm vata reduce gas, cramps, and muscle loss -Tissue rejuvenation= rebuild muscle an fat tissue -Metabolic and hormonal balance- support thyroid health and lipid metabolism -Strengthen core and immnuity- especially important after hernia surgery -Prevent complication

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

HOME REMEDIES -warm water with 1/2 tsp rock salt in morning-> stimulate digestion -fennel or cumin seeds soaked in water-> reduces gas -licorice decoction-> soothes stomach lining -ginger in small amounts-> improves digestion

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -gentle walking after meals 10-15 mi -avoid lying down immediately after eating -avoid stress, use meditation and relaxation techiques -limit heavy exercise until core strength is restored post surgery

For your GERD issues and related symptoms, it seems a few areas need addressing from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective. Since GERD often relates to a pitta imbalance, especially in the digestive system, the first step is to manage your diet and lifestyle to pacify excess pitta. Avoid overly spicy, sour, or salty foods, and limit caffeinated beverages and alcohol. These can exacerbate GERD symptoms by increasing acidity.

Given your history with h-pylori and the imbalance in TSH levels, a close look at your thyroid function and metabolic rate is important. Try incorporating cooling, soothing foods like ripe bananas, boiled and cooled milk, and a tsp of ghee on an empty stomach. These can help balance agni (digestive fire). Daily intake of a blend of jeera (cumin) and dhania (coriander) powder could help reduce acid formation and offer digestive relief.

Loss of muscle mass and potential hormone imbalance may reflect disruptions in all three doshas leading to impaired dhatu formation. Ayurvedic rasayanas like Ashwagandha and Shatavari can support strength and hormonal balance, but it’s crucial to get the correct dosage after consulting a practitioner since you had surgery. Gradual inclusion of appelas (light exercises) such as yoga can aid digestive function and metabolism without straining your post-surgery body.

Given your triglyceride and cholesterol levels require attention too. Incorporate a handful of soaked almonds daily to elevate good cholesterol, alongside a sprinkle of methi (fenugreek) powder in your meals to help manage lipid levels.

With a positive Hpylori test and recent surgery, it’s critical to maintain regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider, particularly if symptoms persist or worsen. These suggestions should complement your current medical plan and not replace needed treatment. Restoring balance will be a gradual process, so immediate concerns should always be prioritized with conventional medical advice.

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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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.

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.

I am working in the space of Marma therapy since the past 5+ years, and honestly the deeper I go into it the more I realize how underrated this science is!! My work’s mostly centered around helping people reconnect with their body’s natural healing using marma chikitsa—not just as a treatment, but like a whole experience. These vital energy points, when stimulated right, can shift a lot—pain, stiffness, nerve issues, even stuff you didn’t think was linked, starts to shift. I work a lot with musculoskeletal conditions—like joint immobility, frozen shoulder, cervical stuff, backaches, and also sports injuries or slipped disc-type of nerve compressions. Sometimes just working the pressure point opens up movement, and you don’t always need pills or heavy treatment lines. I try to reduce dependance on medicines as much as possible unless really-really needed, cause Ayurveda always says, nidan parivarjan is the first step. My sessions always go beyond just the therapy table—I talk diet, daily routine, what their lifestyle actually looks like, and make tweaks that fit them. Like, no copy-paste plan, coz everyone’s prakriti is so different, right?? This root-cause approach helps not only with healing but also that long-term balance people are usually missing. I really believe Marma therapy has this ancient power to reset people, especially in times where stress and chronic fatigue is just everywhere. My aim is to revive it in a way that fits modern life—clean, simple, but rooted. And yeah, while I’ve seen results, I also keep learning from every case—some days you think you know the whole protocol and then boom, a patient shows you something new. That’s the beauty of this path.
