HELLO RANI SUNIL,

ROOT CAUSES OF HAIR FALL In Ayurveda, hair fall is mainly due to -Aggravation of Pitta dosha- especially due to stress, heat, spicy diet, thyroid imbalance or blood impurities -Vata aggravation= due to irregular lifestyle , lack of sleep, or stress, leading to dryness and hair root weakness -Kapha imbalance= may cause scalp clogging, dandruff, or sluggish hair growth -Dhatu kshaya= especially of rakta (blood) and Asthi (bone) dhatus which nourish the hair

Since you have thyroid and diabetes, there’s a chronic metabolic disturbance , which weakens hair roots

INTERNAL MANAGEMENT

DIET Focus on balancing vata and pitta while keeping blood sugar stable

INCLUDE -warm, freshly cooked food- avoid leftovers -moong dal, methi seeds, curry leaves, and amla regularly -Vegetables= drumstick, spinach, ridge gourd, pumpkin, bottle gourd -Healthy fats =ghee 1 tsp/day, sesame oil -Protien= moong, toor dal, panner, soaked almond -Iron rich foods= dates in moderation, jaggery water occasionally -Hydration= lukewarm water, herbal teas like Tulsi + cinnamon

AVOID -fried, packaged or preserved foods -excess tea/coffee, refined sugar, cold drinks -late night meals and irregular eating patterns

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) BRINGARAJASAVA= 2 tsp with equal water after meals twice daily =improves hair growth, strengthens follicles

2) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily. in morning =rejuvinates, balances pitta, supports thyroid and diabetes

3) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =detoxifies, supports digestion, and balances metabolism

4) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 daily =reduces stress related hairfall , improves vitality

5) NISHA AMALAKI TABLETS= 1 twice daily before meals = excellent for diabetes and antioxidant support

EXTERNAL THERPIES

1) HAIR OIL Massage your scalp 3 times a week with warm oil for 10-15 min -Neelibringadi taila -warm the oil slightly, apply on scalp and hair length, leave for at least 1 hour, and wash with mild herbal shampoo

2) HAIR WASH -use herbal hair wash -shikakai + amla + reetha powder mix Or mild herbal shampoo with amla, bringaraj or hibiscus

3) WEEKLY HAIR MASK Mix and apply -2 tbsp hibiscus leaf paste + 1 tbsp aloe vera gel + few drops of coconut oil Leave for 20 minutes before washing

LIFESTYLE ADJUSTMENTS -Sleep= 7 hours of should sleep is crucial (hair regrowth hormones work at night) -Stress management= 10 minutes daily of deep breathing or meditation -Gentle yoga (15-20 min/day even at home) -sarvangasana -shrishasana -adho mukha svanasana -setu bandhasana -bhramari pranayam

If the time is tight, even 5 minutes of mindful breathing and neck rotations morning/ evening help regulate thyroid and stress

HOME HERBAL REMEDIES

1) METHI ANDD CURRY LEAF HAIR PACK -Soak 2 tbsp methi overnight-> grind with curry leaves-> apply for 30 mins-. wash

2) AMLA JUICE= 20 ml. daily in morning on empty stomach =improves hair and thyroid function

3) COCONUT OIL + CASTOR OIL + CURRY LEAVES= boil together ,cool, store, and use for massage

KEY TIPS FOR THYROID AND DIABETES -eat small frequent meals- don’t skip breakfast -avoid excessive goitorogenic foods- like raw cabbage, cauliflower -cinnamon turmeric and methi seeds helps regulate blood sugar and thyroid -stay hydrated , reduce stress- both trigger hair loss

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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

Hairfall can be distressing especially when linked with thyroid and diabetes. An Ayyrvedic approach would assess Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas, aiming to balance them for holistic wellness. Thyroid disorders often correlate with an aggravated Vata dosha, while diabetes typically connects to an imbalance in Kapha. This dual doshic imbalance could be contributing to your current hair concerns.

First, focus on your diet. Eating foods that pacify Vata and Kapha would help. Consume warm, cooked meals with spices such as ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon that support agni, or digestive fire. Include amla (Indian gooseberry) and curry leaves in your diet, as they nurture hair health and balance doshas. Avoid cold, dry, and overly processed foods and include good fats like ghee which nourishes the tissues, supporting growth from within.

Try to include at least few minutes of gentle exercise or yoga each day - it can be as short as 10 min but is immensely beneficial in circulating energy, removing blockages, and balancing Kapha dosha. Simple breathing exercises can also help you manage stress and maintain energy levels.

Consider a weekly session of warm oil scalp massages using sesame or coconut oil with a few drops Brahmi oil or Bhringraj oil that you can infuse in. This enhances circulation to scalp and strengthens hair roots.

Herbal supplements such as Triphala may support detoxification and regulate metabolism, but consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any regimen, particularly considering your conditions.

Lastly, a consistent sleep schedule is essential. Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep when possible. Establish a calming bedtime routine, refrain from screen use an hour before bed to maintain your body’s natural rhythms, also supporting the healing process.

Monitor Thyroid and glucose levels regularly, and keep in touch with your health practitioner for any adjustments needed to your medication or lifestyle approaches.

Hello Rani ji, I can understand your concern regarding hairfall.Hair fall in middle age, especially in women with thyroid dysfunction and diabetes, is very common today. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

Your healthy diet is already supportive, but due to long-standing metabolic imbalance and stress, the nutrients are not properly absorbed and utilized by the hair roots.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Bhringarajasava – 20 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner. ( Strengthens hair roots, stimulates new growth, improves scalp blood flow, and supports the liver.)

2. Amla Rasayana – 1 teaspoon after breakfast with warm milk or lukewarm water. (Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants; rejuvenates hair follicles and delays premature greying.)

3. Jeevamrutham – 1 tsp at bedtime followed by warm. Milk . ( Acts as a hair tonic and improves nutrient absorption.)

✅EXTERNAL HAIR AND SCALP CARE REGIMEN

✅Oil Therapy (Sneha Abhyanga)

Use Neelibhringadi Taila Warm slightly and massage gently into the scalp using fingertips for 10 minutes.

Leave it on for 1–2 hours (or overnight if convenient), then wash off with a mild herbal shampoo or Triphala decoction.

Do this 3 times per week.

➡️Herbal Hair Pack (Weekly Once)

Mix:

Amla powder – 2 tsp Hibiscus leaf powder – 1 tsp Bhringraj powder – 1 tsp Fenugreek (methi) powder – ½ tsp Add curd or aloe vera gel to make a paste. Apply for 30–40 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. This nourishes hair roots and adds volume and shine.

➡️Hair Wash Alternatives

Use a gentle herbal shampoo containing reetha, shikakai, and amla, or rinse occasionally with green-gram flour mixed in water. Avoid sulfate-based chemical shampoos.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Include-

✅ Fresh Amla, curry leaves, coconut, sesame seeds, soaked almonds (5 pcs), walnuts, black raisins (5–6), moong dal, and ghee (1 tsp/day). ✅ Protein-rich but easily digestible foods – khichadi, mung soup, green leafy vegetables. ✅ Warm water throughout the day for better digestion and toxin removal.

❌Avoid

Fried, spicy, and oily foods; excessive tea, coffee, and refined sugar. Cold water head baths and washing hair immediately after meals. Skipping meals or fasting for long durations, as it aggravates Vata.

✅ Lifestyle & Stress-Relief Practices

Anulom Vilom and Bhramari Pranayama – calm the nervous system and reduce stress hormones that trigger hair fall.

Ensure 7–8 hours of sound sleep and maintain a regular sleep schedule.

Manage stress through daily meditation or listening to calming music for 15 minutes.

✅ Additional Supportive Measures

Drink Amla Tulsi juice (10 ml each) every morning on an empty stomach with water.

Take Coconut water or Jeera water once daily to keep Pitta and sugar levels in check.

If constipation is present, use Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water.

Your condition is not only about hair fall — it reflects an internal imbalance of metabolism, stress, and hormonal function.

By gradually restoring Agni, purifying Rakta Dhatu, and nourishing Asthi and Majja Dhatu, the hair roots regain strength and vitality.

Consistency is the key follow the regimen patiently for at least three months.

Wishing you a good healh😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

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

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

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

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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.

I am someone who really got to learn *a lot* during my time as a resident at NIA Hospital. I was mostly handling general med cases—like, fevers, infections, respiratory flares, weird digestion stuff—and also got into skin & hair issues pretty deep too. Acne, pigmentation, dandruff, chronic eczema flare-ups, hair fall—things that seem basic but honestly can wreck a person’s confidence if you don’t treat them right (or explain ‘em properly). I spent a lotta time observing senior docs, especially when cases got tricky. And I tried to really get better at that thing where you're not just treating what's obvious—but actually going after why it’s happening. That meant paying attention to patient history, asking questions ppl sometimes didn’t even think were related—like stress or food habits—and then building a plan that wasn’t just "apply this cream" or "take this med." In a bunch of skin & hair conditions, it’s the chronicity that wears ppl down. I saw that up close. So I started focusing more on customising treatments... like figuring out not just the product or med, but also talking through skincare steps, diet shifts, triggers, maintenance plans that make sense for *that* person. Sometimes things work fast, but tbh sometimes it’s slow and frustrating—but if you keep adapting, ppl notice. Also learnt to explain stuff better—without too much jargon, just in plain words that help ppl trust their own recovery. Preventive care was a big thing too—telling someone how to avoid flare-ups before they start. Whether it’s sugar, stress, or skipping routine... it all adds up. That phase in NIA really pushed me to think wider—not just what's the diagnosis, but what’s the right mix of care that'll actually stick and heal. It made me want to practice in a way where I keep seeing the full person, not just the problem. Still trying to keep that going every single day.

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. 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. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.
