Mukta Vati is a proprietary Ayurvedic formulation primarily used for: - High blood pressure (hypertension) - Stress-related disorders - Mild anxiety and insomnia - Heart palpitations and emotional restlessness It contains a blend of herbs including Sarpagandha (Rauvolfia serpentina), Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, and Mukta Pishti (pearl calcium) — making it both antihypertensive and mildly sedative

Mukta Vati has mild sedative effects, especially helpful for: - Sleep disturbances due to anxiety - Racing thoughts or emotional restlessness - High blood pressure with nervous tension However, it’s not a substitute for prescription sedatives and should be used under guidance if you have low blood pressure or are on other medications.

Can you take it with Hibiscus Tea? Yes, you can take Mukta Vati with Hibiscus Tea, but keep in mind: - Hibiscus tea also lowers blood pressure, so combining both may enhance hypotensive effects. - Best to monitor your BP and avoid taking both together if you already have low BP or feel dizzy. Suggested timing: - Take Mukta Vati after breakfast or dinner with water. - Enjoy hibiscus tea mid-morning or early evening, not immediately with the tablet.

Dr. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

1. What is Mukta Vati? Mukta Vati (by brands like Divya Pharmacy / Patanjali / Baidyanath) is a herbal formulation primarily for high blood pressure, stress, and anxiety. Key ingredients (may vary slightly by brand): Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis) Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Jyotishmati (Celastrus paniculatus) Mukta Pishti (Pearl Calcium) Sarpagandha (Rauwolfia serpentina) – sometimes included Vacha, Tagar, Jatamansi — mild sedative & nerve-calming herbs ⚖️ 2. Is Mukta Vati same as Sarpagandha? ❌ No. They are not the same — but Mukta Vati may contain Sarpagandha as one of its ingredients. Sarpagandha (Rauwolfia serpentina) is a single herb, known for: Reducing high BP Calming the nervous system Mild sedation and sleep support Used in psychiatric conditions (in controlled doses) Mukta Vati is a polyherbal combination, which includes other herbs to balance and reduce side effects of Sarpagandha. 😴 3. Can Mukta Vati be used as a sedative? ✔️ Yes — mildly. It is not a strong sedative, but it has a calming, anti-anxiety, and sleep-improving effect due to herbs like Brahmi, Jatamansi, and Sarpagandha. It’s best for: Stress-related hypertension Insomnia due to anxiety or restlessness Mild palpitations, irritability, or nervous tension ⚠️ However, it’s not meant for general or casual sleep aid — and should not be given to children, pregnant women, or people with low BP or hypothyroidism without supervision. 🍵 4. Can you drink it with Hibiscus Tea? ✅ Yes, generally safe — but with conditions: Hibiscus tea: Has mild blood-pressure-lowering and diuretic properties. If taken along with Mukta Vati, the BP-lowering effect can become stronger. 👉 So: If you already have low or normal BP, do not combine them daily. If you have high BP and are taking Mukta Vati regularly, take Hibiscus tea in a mild form (1 cup/day max) and monitor BP. ⚠️ 5. Precautions Avoid taking Mukta Vati if your BP is already low or if you’re on allopathic BP medicines — it may cause dizziness or hypotension. Avoid alcohol or strong sedatives along with it. Best taken after meals with lukewarm water. Would you like me to tell you the correct

Hi doc I had an accident two years ago and scattered my left ankle. After the operation I was transferred to our local hospital. The pins turned septic waiting for a bed. 8 months later they did the operation and had to fuse my ankle as the infection ate away my ankle joints. They put an x fix on in October 2024. The gadget was removed in February 2025. I was able to swagger. Then in July my ankle became inflammed again. I had to drink 520 antibiotic capsules in 28 days. Plus pain killets and such This was over and above my diabetic, high blood and cholesterol medication. I then decided to leave all pain killers and other medication except for the last three. Went to visit a hakim and he prescribed Moringa D3 & K2 Reosto Diatomaceous Earth powder Herbal joint pain caps Turmeric in walm milk 15 mint leaves and 1tbl fennel seeds boiled for 15min then steeped. 1 pears liquidized with a cup of water. The first month.

Reosto Diatomaceous Earth powder Herbal joint pain caps Turmeric in walm water Codliver soft gels Naushadri Sarpagandha L-threonati The second month.

I went into the herbal shop this month and bought all th stuff he prescibed plus Mukta Vati (replacing sarpagandha) Shuddha gugulu Vishtinduk vati. Hibiscus tea Please advise how, when and quantities to drink of all the medication.

In Mukta vati one of ingredient is sarpagandha both are used to lower blood pressure but has to take under medical supervision

HELLO FARADIEBA,

What is Mukta Vati? -Mukta Vati is a classical Ayurvedic formulation primarily used to manage: -High blood pressure (hypertension) -Anxiety and stress-induced palpitations -Sleep disturbances and insomnia -It is a blend of calming and heart-supportive ingredients, including:

Brahmi – improves mental clarity and reduces stress

Shankhapushpi – promotes relaxation and cognitive function

Sarpagandha (Rauvolfia serpentina) – known for sedative and blood pressure-lowering effects

Jatamansi – supports calmness and emotional balance

Ashwagandha – reduces stress and strengthens the nervous system

Mukta (pearl) bhasma – traditionally used to balance pitta and promote overall vitality

Is Mukta Vati the Same as Sarpagandha? No.

Sarpagandha is a single herb used for its sedative and blood pressure-lowering properties.

Mukta Vati is a compound formula that includes Sarpagandha along with other herbs and pearl bhasma, creating a synergistic effect.

This combination balances efficacy and safety, reducing the risk of over-sedation that pure Sarpagandha might cause.

Can Mukta Vati Be Used as a Sedative? Yes. Mukta Vati acts as a mild sedative due to its calming herbs like Sarpagandha, Brahmi, and Jatamansi.

It helps reduce anxiety, promotes relaxation, and improves sleep quality.

It is particularly useful for stress-related insomnia or nervous tension.

Can You Take Mukta Vati with Hibiscus Tea? Yes, it is generally safe to take Mukta Vati with warm water or herbal teas like hibiscus tea. Hibiscus tea may complement the cardiovascular and calming effects of Mukta Vati.

It is better to take it after meals or with warm liquids to improve absorption and prevent stomach discomfort.

Summary Mukta Vati: Ayurvedic formulation for high blood pressure, anxiety, and sleep issues. Not the same as Sarpagandha: Sarpagandha is an ingredient, not the whole formula. Sedative effect: Mild, supports relaxation and sleep. With hibiscus tea: Safe, and may enhance benefits, but avoid empty stomach.

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Mukta Vadi is a preparation in Ayurveda renowned for its calming effects. It’s primarily utilized for issues related to mental stress, anxiety, and issues with blood pressure. Its key components often include substances that can pacify excess Pitta and bring balance to mental faculties. While there may be variations in formulations, Mukta Vadi isn’t the same as Sarpagandha. Sarpagandha, or Rauwolfia serpentina, is a separate botanical renowned for its sedative properties, often used for hypertension and sleep disturbances.

While Mukta Vadi does not have the same potent sedative effects as Sarpagandha, it may aid relaxation and support mental wellness. When it comes to using it as a sedative, it’s advisable to consult with a trained Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the suitability based on your individual dosha and overall health condition. Comprehensive evaluation ensures that it’s addressing the root cause rather than merely the symptoms.

Drinking it with hibiscus tea is a curious combination. Hibiscus tea has properties that support cardiovascular health and can act as a gentle diuretic. There shouldn’t be any significant interaction between Mukta Vadi and hibiscus tea from traditional Ayurvedic perspective. But stay cautions with combinations, as the cumulative effect on blood pressure may be substantial, especially in cases of low blood pressure.

Before integrating these, it’s paramount to look at your health holistically. Consider any underlying conditions or medications being taken. Consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for tailored advice ensures safety and optimal therapeutic benefits. Additionally, they can provide specific guidance on dosage and preparation method which will be an important detail to get right.

Dr. Akshay Negi
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.

You have a history of DM and HTN Although ayurvedic drugs can help but there is no specific drugs that can replace allopathic medicine right now You have to continue with your current allopathic medicine. You can add Tab Abana 2BD A F Mamejava ghan vati 2BD A F . I suggest you to not look for ayurvedic alternative for these issues in medicine. There are basti therapy which can help you. Bit will need long term treatment and diet restriction also.

Mukta Vadi and Sarpagandha are not the same, so it’s important to understand their distinct uses. Mukta Vadi is primarily an Ayurvedic formulation that contains pearl ash or calcium, often used for its cooling and calming effects on the body. It’s generally prescribed for conditions linked to pitta and vata imbalances, like stomach acidity, gastritis, and even heartburn. This remedy works by soothing the body and reducing excessive heat.

On the other hand, Sarpagandha, which is known botanically as Rauwolfia serpentina, is a well-recognized herb for lower blood pressure and helping to manage anxiety and insomnia due to its sedative properties. It’s quite potent and needs to be used under the guidance of a qualified practitioner due to potential side effects like depression or nasal congestion.

Now, regarding your question about using Mukta Vadi as a sedative, it’s not primarily intended for this purpose although its cooling nature might provide some calming effects indirectly by pacifying aggravated pitta. Sarpagandha would be the herb more closely associated with sedative effects, but again, use it cautiously and ideally with medical supervision.

As for combining Mukta Vadi with hibiscus tea, there’s no known interaction that makes this unsafe. Hibiscus is also cooling and gentle, which might complement Mukta Vadi’s effects. However, always consider any underlying conditions or medications that may have interactions. Ideally, consult your practitioner to confirm suitability in your specific case.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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.
