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

HELLO MUHAMMAD,

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN HER BODY -The thyroid gland is a small butterfly- shaped organ in the neck that makes a hormone called Thyroxine (T4). -This hormone controls metabolism, meaning how fast the body uses energy, grows, and develops -In hyperthyroidism , the gland makes too much thyroxine or the body needs artificial thyroxine because her thyroid may not be be fully functional yet and doctors have to balance it

WHY TREATMENT IS IMPORTANT In babies and toddlers, the thyroid hormone affects -brain development -bone growth -heart rate and metabolism

That’s why taking thyroxine daily in the correct dose is essential and should never be stopped or adjusted without a paediatric endocrinologists advice

In Ayurveda, thyroid imbalance (both hypo and hyper) is linked to Agni (metabolic fire ) imbalance and vata- pitta disturbance

-Tejas (heat element) is overactive-> restlessness, sweating, fast metabolism, irritability GOAL= calm and stabilize metabolism, support growth, protect “Ojas” (immunity and vitality)

INTERNALLY- at 1 year, only mild natural preparations should be used

1) DRAKSHA WATER (raisin water)= soak 3-4 raisins overnight , give the strained water in morning =cooling, mild tonic, balances pitta daily

2) GHEE= cow ghee 1/4 tsp mixed in food once daily =nourishes brain, balances metabolism

3) JEERA WATER= boil a few cumin seeds in water, cool, give few spoons =aids digestion . mild antimicrobial

AVOID tulsi, mulethi, ashwagandha, or other herbs at this age = they may interfere with thyroid hormone or blood pressure

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS (safe and beneficial)

1) OIL MASSAGE -use lukewarm coconut or sesame oil -gentle full body massage 2-3 times a week before bath =improves sleep ,growth , immunity, calms vata

2) MILD STEAM THERAPY -Sit with baby in a warm bathroom filled with steam =helps clear nasal blockage

3) AJWAIN POTLI COMPRESS -dry roast a spoon od ajwain , wrap in cloth and place near chest not on skin =reduces congestion

DIET -Breast milk/ formula as primary food if still breastfeeding -soft khichdi (rice + moong dal ) with ghee -Mashed fruits= bananas apple, papaya -Vegetable soups= bottle gourd, pumpkin, carrot -Coconut water= cooling and hydrating -Hydration= small sips often if she has fever

AVOID -fried, spicy, or very sour foods -artificial juices or processed snacks -excess salt or pickled food

FOODS TO STRENGTHEN METABOLISM GENTLY -moong dal, rice, ghee, pumpkin, carrot, ash gourd, ripe fruits -Avoid goitorogenic foods- excess cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli ) if she’s on thyroid hormone

HOME REMEDIES FOR FLU

BLOCKED NOSE= saline drops, warm room air, nasal suction COUGH= steam from warm bathroom, ajwain potli near chest FEVER= paracetamol , sponge bath with lukewarm water MILD DIARRHEA= hydration, rice gruel, banana, avoid milk temporarily if intolerance suspected

Continue thyroid medicine daily- it’s life supporting for her normal growth Do not use stronger Ayurvedic herbs or decoction without paediatrician supervision Focus on diet, oil massage, hydration, and calm environment- these are the real Ayurvedic supports for infants

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Hello Muhammad, You are taking very good care of your daughter managing both her thyroid condition and the recent flu symptoms carefully. At this tender age, mild flu, fever, and loose motions due to weather changes are quite common, as the child’s Agni (digestive fire) and Ojas (immunity) are still developing.but don’t worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ Current Condition Summary

Age: 1 year Condition: Hyperthyroidism (on thyroxin – continue as prescribed) Symptoms: Mild fever, nasal congestion, watery stools twice, no weakness. Current medicines: Paracetamol syrup (for fever), nasal saline drops.

✅ Continue Current Treatment

Continue paracetamol syrup as per your doctor’s prescribed dose for fever.

Use saline nasal drops 3–4 times daily to clear nasal blockage.

Keep her hydrated with warm water or light soups.

You are already following correct measures. Avoid adding too many medicines together at this age.

✅Safe Home-Based Ayurvedic Support

✅ Tulsi Water (Mild Herbal Decoction)

Yes, you can give Tulsi water — but in a very light and diluted form. How to prepare Take 2–3 clean Tulsi leaves and boil them in 1 cup of water for 2–3 minutes. Strain and cool to lukewarm temperature. Give 1–2 teaspoons once or twice a day.

✅ Helps relieve cold, congestion, and supports immunity. ⚠️ Avoid strong decoction or frequent doses.

✅ Mulethi ( yasthimadhu)

Mulethi can soothe cough and throat irritation, but since your daughter is on thyroxin, use it only in very small amounts and for a short duration (1–2 days).

How to prepare:

Take a tiny pinch (less than ¼ inch piece) of Mulethi, boil it in 1 cup water for 2–3 minutes. Give 1 teaspoon of this light tea once a day if there is throat irritation.

✅ Dietary and Daily Care

Continue breastfeeding (if ongoing) – it supports natural immunity.

If she’s weaning, give warm, soft, and easily digestible food like rice gruel, moong dal soup, or thin vegetable broth.

Avoid cold, curd, banana, or heavy foods until recovery.

Maintain room warmth, and avoid sudden exposure to cold air

✅ Note Regarding Hyperthyroidism

Continue Thyroxin exactly as advised by her pediatric endocrinologist. Avoid any unprescribed herbal preparations for thyroid at this age — especially Ashwagandha, Kanchanar, or long-term Mulethi, as these can interfere with thyroid levels.

✅ Continue paracetamol and saline drops. ✅ Give mild Tulsi water and a tiny amount of Mulethi water once daily for 1–2 days if needed. ✅ Keep her diet warm, light, and hydrating. ✅ continue Thyroxin regularly.

warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

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.

About Tulsi and Mulethi (Malathi) For a 1-year-old, you must be very cautious with herbs — their digestive system and liver are still developing. ✅ Tulsi (Holy Basil) – Mild decoction can help in cold, cough, and immunity. ✅ Mulethi (Licorice) – Has soothing and antiviral properties, but should be used in very tiny quantity for infants. 🌿 Safe Home Remedy (Mild and Baby-Friendly) Tulsi–Mulethi Water (for 1-year-old) Ingredients: 3–4 fresh Tulsi leaves A tiny pinch (1–2 cm piece or 1/10th tsp powder) of Mulethi 1 cup water Preparation: Boil both in 1 cup of water until it reduces to about half. Let it cool to lukewarm. Give 1–2 teaspoons twice a day only. ⚠️ Avoid giving more quantity — too much Mulethi can cause sodium imbalance and affect potassium levels in small children. 💧 Additional Home Care Continue Paracetamol (as per doctor’s prescribed dose) for fever. Give lukewarm water frequently to keep her hydrated. Light diet: rice water, moong dal water, or mashed banana. Avoid cold or oily food. Continue nasal saline drops for congestion. 🩺 When to See a Doctor See her pediatrician immediately if: Fever > 101°F persists beyond 3 days Loose stools increase (>4–5/day) She becomes unusually drowsy, irritable, or stops feeding There’s vomiting or signs of dehydration (dry tongue, no tears, less urine) 🧘‍♀️ Ayurvedic Gentle Support (Optional) Sitopaladi churna or Balchaturbhadra churna – only if prescribed by a qualified Ayurvedic pediatrician. These can support immunity and digestion but must be properly dosed by weight and age.

For your baby daughter dealing with both hyperthyroidism and flu symptoms, it’s key to proceed cautiously. In Ayurveda, supporting her immune system will be beneficial. The Tulsi leaves you mentioned can indeed be helpful. Boil a few Tulsi leaves in a cup of water and let it cool to a lukewarm temperature. You can give her a few sips of this water throughout the day, making sure it’s not too hot. Tulsi has mild anti-viral properties and can support her natural defense.

Regarding Mulethi, or licorice root, its uses in Ayurveda can be beneficial for respiratory issues. However, use it with great caution in infants, as too much can be very stressful on their little bodies. A very diluted concoction, only when absolutely needed, might be considered, but it’s wise to consult your pediatrician or a professional trained in pediatric Ayurveda for this age group before regular use.

Since she has hyperthyroidism, continue with her prescribed thyroxin dose without any disruptions. Monitor her temperature and response to flu symptoms constantly. You mentioned she doesn’t have any significant weakness, but it’s important to watch for signs of dehydration due to watery stools. Encourage her to take breastmilk or formula, which can help keep her hydrated and provide support for her immune system.

Consider adding a gentle massage for her, using warm coconut oil. Gentle circular motions on her abdomen may be soothing, could help her digestion and support agni - the digestive fire, without being intrusive.

Also, maintaining a comfortable sleeping environment is vital. Ensure she’s well-rested, as sleep is a powerful healing tool. If symptoms persist or worsen, like increased fever, severe dehydration or persistent stools, urgently consult a healthcare professional to avoid complications.

Ensuring her comfort and easing the symptoms naturally can be good, but be vigilant and ensure any shift in her condition is addressed swiftly through professional healthcare.

For your daughter’s current symptoms, it’s crucial to address the root of her condition within the Ayurvedic framework while ensuring her ongoing thyroid management with thyroxin continues uninterrupted. Her flu symptoms with fever and mild watery stools suggest an imbalance typically associated with vata and pitta doshas. Tulsi (Holy Basil) is beneficial as it can aid in calming the respiratory issues due to its kapha-reducing properties. Brewing tulsi leaves in water can be given but ensure the mixture is lukewarm. Offer small quantities, a teaspoon or two several times a day to keep the body hydrated and help clear respiratory channels.

Mulethi (licorice root), or malthi as you call it, can soothe the throat and act as an anti-inflammatory. Make sure it’s in a very mild, diluted form appropriate for her age. One way to prepare it is to slightly warm water with a tiny piece of malthi and strain it well before use. Again, give in small, measured doses.

Focus on boosting her agni (digestive fire) gently; feeding her warm, easy-to-digest foods like rice gruel or moong dal soup can help sustain her dhatus (tissues) and maintain energy levels. Care should be taken to ensure she’s well-hydrated.

However, any signs of worsening symptoms, high-fever consistency, or gastrointestinal distress should lead to immediate medical attention. It’s vital to balance the effective integration of Ayurveda with conventional medicine practices like you’ve been doing with paracetamol and nasal saline drops in alignment with her prescribed allopathic care.

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.

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 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.
