Hi Mehala, You have degenerative changes in lower back and neck. Most significant one is L5-S1 disc bulge. This can cause left leg pain and may change to numbness of leg.

Some internal medicines and back muscle strengthening exercises will relieve your symptoms with some extend. Panchakarma therapy is very effective.

1. Rasna saptakam kashayam 15 ml+ 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily, half an hour before food. 2. Trayodashanga guggulu 1 -0-1 with kashayam. 3. Sallaki forte 1-1-1 after food ( if pain is severe). 4. Sahacharadi tailam for external application especially over lower back and leg. 5. Warm water application before bath.

Warm water can be used for bath with some dhanyamlam in it.

If possible do panchakarma therapy in nearby ayurvedic centre.

Kati basti, vasti application can be done if pain is severe. Otherwise internal medicines will help to relieve pain.

Avoid forward bending, twisting, high impact exercises.

Do suryanamaskara. Start with 1/2 and increase the number day by day. If pain is increasing stop it.

Cobra pose, bridge pose etc are back strengthening exercises. If possible you can do it.

Take care. Follow up after 1 month. Dr. Shaniba

HELLO MEHALA,

Your MRI reveals: -Mild lumbar spondylosis → Mild degeneration and wear and tear of joints and bones in the lower back. -Facet arthropathy (L2–S1) → Small posterior joints of each spinal bone are inflamed and developing early arthritis. -L5–S1 large disc herniation with nerve compression (left side) → The soft disc between L5 and S1 has moved backwards, compressing the -adjacent nerve — this may lead to pain, pins and needles, numbness, or weakness, particularly down the left leg (sciatica). -Mild disc bulge at L3–L4, L4–L5 → Bulging early but not seriously compressing nerves. -Mild cervical spondylosis and C4–C5 bulge → Early degeneration in the neck area — can lead to stiffness in the neck, pain in the shoulders, or numbness in hands.

In simple words: -Your spine’s cushion-like discs and joints are deteriorating faster than usual because of posture, tension, or dryness in the body (“Vata imbalance” in Ayurveda). -The lumbar area of the lower back is more involved, with one disc compressing a nerve — leading to pain and stiffness. Early changes are noticed in the neck area as well.

Ayurvedic Perspective of Your Condition According to Ayurveda, this condition is primarily caused by vitiated Vata dosha (the energy in charge of movement, dryness, and control of the nervous system).

Progressively, because of factors such as: -Sitting for extended hours, abrupt movement, cold exposure, stress, late nights, or inconsistent food, -Vata gets provoked and begins to dry out and weaken the supporting tissues: –Asthi dhatu (bones and joints) –Majja dhatu (nerve and spinal tissue)

This leads to: -Kati graha → stiffness/pain in the lower back -Greeva graha → stiffness of the neck -Asthi-majja gata vata → degenerative disc/joint disease

Goal of Treatment -Soften provoked Vata – in order to prevent further degeneration and pain/stiffness. -Decrease inflammation and compression of nerves – through internal and external herbal remedies. -Nourish bones, discs, and nerves – Rasayana (rejuvenative) therapy. -Improve flexibility and posture – through Panchakarma and Yoga. -Prevent recurrence – by correcting diet and lifestyle habits.

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRAYODASHANG GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals with warm water for 3 months =relieves stiffness, reduces inflammation, and strength joints

2) RASNADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 2 months =anti inflammatory, relieves pain and swelling in back and neck

3) SIMHANADA GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 1 math =removes toxins and lubricates joints reduces stiffness

4) GANDHA TAILA CAPSULE= 1 cap twice daily after meals for3 months = strengthens bones, nourishes spinal tissues

5) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime = strengthens nerves, reduces stress, acts as rasayana

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASAGE= daily full body massage with warm Mahanarayan taila followed by warm bath =reduces vata, improves flexibility, nourishes nerves and skin

2) KATI AND GREEVA BASTI= pool of warm medicated oil retained on lower back and neck for 30 min =deeply nourishes discs and relieves nerve compression relieves stiffness and pain to shoulder

3) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Ksheerbala taila in each nostril daily after mild massage and steam in morning =nourishes head and neck nerves; help cervical symptoms

Home Remedies -Garlic milk: Boil 2–3 crushed garlic cloves in 1 cup milk + 1 cup water → reduce to 1 cup. Drink warm daily (unless you have gastric sensitivity). -Turmeric + black pepper in warm milk → reduces inflammation naturally. -Castor oil (1 tsp) with warm milk or water once weekly at bedtime → gentle detox for Vata. -Warm sesame oil massage to neck and lower back before bath daily. -Epsom salt bath (in warm mild water) for 15 minutes, 2–3 times a week – relaxes muscle tightness.

Lifestyle Changes

To Do -Maintain the spine warm; avoid sitting in air-conditioned draft for prolonged periods. -Correct posture — sit straight with back support, no soft couches. -Take regular breaks every 30–40 minutes if sitting long hours. -Sleep on a firm mattress, not soft or sagging. -Morning stretching, gentle. -Healthy weight to keep spine pressure at bay. -Manage stress (as anxiety increases Vata).

To Avoid -Prolonged sitting, jerky travel, or heavy weights. -Excess exposure to cold/dry winds. -Not eating meals, irregular eating/sleep habits. -Extremely spicy, fried, or processed foods.

Diet Recommendations Favourable Foods (Vata-pacifying): -Warm, soft, oily foods such as kichdi, rice with ghee, soups, boiled vegetables. -Ghee of cow (small amount daily). -Milk, almonds (soaked & skinned), dates (in small amounts). -Spices: cumin, ajwain, dry ginger, turmeric. -Fruits: ripe bananas, papaya, figs, pomegranate.

Avoid: -Cold, dry, raw salads, stale food. -Excess pulses (particularly chana, rajma), curd at night. -Fried foods, refined sugar, bakery food. -Excess tea, coffee, alcohol.

Yoga & Pranayama Yoga (slow and gentle): -Makarasana (Crocodile pose) – relaxes lower back. -Bhujangasana (Cobra pose) – develops spine. -Setu Bandhasana (Bridge pose). -Tadasana (Palm tree pose). -Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half spinal twist, if pain-free).

Avoid forward bending and jerky twisting poses during acute pain.

Pranayama: -Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) – quiets nerves. -Bhramari (humming bee) – reduces stress, enhances concentration. -Ujjayi – assists cervical strengthening. Practice daily for 15–20 minutes in peaceful environment.

Summary -Your condition is reversible to a great extent with appropriate holistic treatment. -Ayurveda addresses rebalancing Vata, nourishing the backbone, and reinforcing nerves — permanent cure, not temporary relief from pain. -Stick to routine: herbal medications, daily oil massage, wholesome diet, and gentle yoga. -Combining Ayurvedic treatment with contemporary follow-ups (repeat MRI or physiotherapy as needed) yields the best outcome.

When it comes to managing lumbar spondylosis and related conditions like disc bulges and herniation, a multi-faceted approach is truly necessary. Ayurveda can offer supportive remedies to help manage the condition and improve your overall well-being. First, understanding the possible dosha involvement is crucial; Vata dosha imbalance is often associated with degenerative spine conditions.

Incorporating dietary changes can assist with managing this Vata. Favor warm, moist foods and avoid cold, raw meals. Include sesame oil in your diet, as it pacifies Vata due to its warming qualities. Green leafy vegetables, cooked in ghee or sesame oil, provide nutrients that support joint health. A decoction of Dashamoola, a group of ten roots, can be supportive. Prepare as follows: Boil one teaspoon of Dashamoola powder in two cups of water, reduce to one cup, and consume twice daily.

Given the disc herniation causing nerve compression, gentle and specific Ayurvedic therapies such as Kati Basti and Pizichilli may be beneficial. Kati Basti involves placing warm medicated oil over the lower back, improving circulation and reducing pain. Ensure you consult with an experienced practitioner to perform these safely.

Lifestyle modifications are also essential. Maintain a balanced routine with adequate rest and avoid strenuous activities that may exacerbate your symptoms. Practice gentle yoga, focusing on postures that enhance spinal flexibility and strength; however, avoid forward bends or any pose causing discomfort.

It’s imperative to stay hydrated, supporting the discs and overall spinal health. Turmeric milk, consumed nightly, may help as it possesses anti-inflammatory properties. While Ayurvedic remedies can be beneficial, it’s essential to keep open communication with your healthcare provider regarding your condition and ensure you’re informed about all treatment options available. Consult an Ayurvedic physician before beginning any new regimen to tailor advice specifically to your individual constitution and health needs.

Your MRI findings suggest a combination of lumbar spondylosis, which involves wear and tear changes in the spine, as well as specific issues like a herniated disc and facet arthropathy. The root causes often lie in imbalances within the vata dosha, which influences movement and dryness within the body, affecting joint and disc health.

To address these issues, you’ll want to focus on pacifying vata dosha. Begin with dietary adjustments—favor warm, unctuous, and grounding foods. Incorporate ghee, cooked vegetables, and warm soups into your meals, while minimizing dry, raw, or cold foods. Eating at regular intervals helps maintain consistency, too.

Herbal support can be beneficial. Try taking Ashwagandha, both for its rejuvenating properties and vata-pacifying actions; usually, 1-2 teaspoons mixed with warm milk can be consumed nightly. Mahanarayan oil can be applied externally; a gentle massage to the affected areas can help reduce stiffness and pain, Do this oil application daily if possible.

Simple yoga postures, prioritizing gentle stretches and strengthening exercises, especially focused on core stability, might help. Always proceed with caution to avoid any worsen symptoms. Pay attention to your body’s response, avoiding postures that cause pain.

Heat therapy—in the form of warm compresses or pads applied to affected parts—could relieve discomfort, too. Do this especially during the evening, post-activity, when your body may need it most.

If you’re experiencing severe or worsening symptoms, it’s advisable to consult a medical specialist for further assessment and guidance. Integrating these steps with your current treatment plan offers a more holistic approach, aligning with both conventional and traditional healing principles.

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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. Fabin John Maliyeakkal
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.

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.
