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. Dhanwantharam Gulika Main Uses: Traditionally used for vata-kapha disorders, especially digestive discomfort, gas, bloating, and abdominal pain. However: It can be slightly ushna (heating) in nature because of ingredients like ginger, pepper, long pepper, etc. 👉 How to take (for sensitive digestion / IBS): Dose: 1 tablet once daily after food (not on empty stomach). Timing: Preferably after lunch or dinner. With: 1–2 teaspoons of jeera water, warm water, or buttermilk (if not lactose-sensitive). Caution: If it causes burning, acidity, or loose motions, stop immediately — it may be too heating for your gut. 🌿 2. Brahmi Pearls (Kottakkal / AVP type) Main Uses: Support mental calmness, focus, and stress reduction. Helpful for IBS that worsens due to anxiety. 👉 How to take: Dose: 1 capsule once daily after breakfast or dinner. With: Lukewarm water or milk. Timing tip: Best taken in the evening or before bed if stress or insomnia are issues. 💊 3. Vizilac capsule This is a probiotic, and it’s perfectly fine to continue it along with both of the above Ayurvedic medicines. Just keep a 30-minute gap between Vizilac and any Ayurvedic medicine for best absorption. 🧘‍♀️ 4. Diet & lifestyle support for IBS To enhance the effect and prevent flare-ups: Prefer light, warm, freshly cooked meals (avoid reheated or fermented foods). Avoid raw salads, heavy milk products, excess coffee, and spicy fried foods. Sip ajwain + jeera + saunf water during the day to ease gas. Practice abdominal breathing or mild yoga like Pawanmuktasana or Vajrasana after meals. ⚠️ Important Notes Start one medicine at a time for 3–4 days before adding the next — so you can identify any intolerance. If you experience increased bloating, loose stool, or pain, stop Dhanwantharam Gulika first and review. Do not take these during acute IBS flare-ups or severe gastritis episodes.

I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

For individuals with sensitive digestion, incorporating Dhanwantharam Gulika and Brahmi pearls into your regimen should be done with cautious precision. Dhanwantharam Gulika is traditionally used for digestive issues, but it’s important to take it with a thorough understanding of your body’s tendencies. Start by taking one pill of Dhanwantharam Gulika twice daily, preferably after meals. This can help avoid any potential irritation to your sensitive digestive lining. It’s also beneficial to take it with warm water to aid absorption and enhance the digestive process. Given your IBS and gastric issues, start with a lower dose and observe how your body responds over the course of a few days.

As for the Brahmi pearls, these are typically recommended for enhancing mental clarity and calming the nervous system, which can indirectly support digestive health by reducing stress levels. For someone with IBS, stress management is crucial. Take one Brahmi pearl at bedtime with a cup of warm milk or water. It can provide a calming effect on your system overnight, aiding better rest and digestion.

It’s important to continue taking your Vizilac capsule as directed by your physician, as it supports gut flora balance, which is critical for anyone with IBS. Make sure there is at least a 1-hour gap between taking these different supplements and medications to avoid any interference in absorption or effectiveness.

Additionally, adhere to a Pitta-pacifying diet — avoid spicy, overly sour, and acidic foods that might exacerbate your symptoms. Have meals at regular intervals and stay hydrated with warm water throughout the day. Keeping track of any symptoms or changes and consulting with your healthcare provider periodically is vital. This approach ensures personalized adjustments can be made based on your unique response to these Ayurvedic solutions.

1. Dhanwantharam Gulika This classical tablet supports digestion, respiratory health, and nerve function. It contains warming herbs like ginger, cardamom, and haritaki. ✅ Suggested Use: - Dosage: Start with ½ tablet once daily, after breakfast or lunch. - Anupana (vehicle): Take with warm water or jeera (cumin) water to ease digestion. - Timing: Avoid taking it on an empty stomach.

HELLO JHILLY,

UNDERSTANDING THE MEDICINES

DHANWANTHARAM GULIKA -Traditional use= balances vata and kapha, useful in flatulence, colic, bloating, IBS- like symptoms, and nervous system disorders -Ingredients= mostly warming herbs (Chitrakadi, ajmoda, pippali etc) , which improve agni(digestive fire), but can irritate sensitive stomachs if taken in excess or without food

BRAHMI PEARLS -Use= calming and rejuvenating for the nervous system, reduce anxiety, improves sleep and concentration -Nature= generally cooling , mildly bitter, and safe even in sensitive digestion when used correctly

HOW TO TAKE THEN FOR SENSITIVE DIGESTION

DHANWANTARAM GULIKA -DOSE= 1 tab once daily, preferably after food. -WITH= warm water or few drops of cow’s ghee or jeera water -TIMING= after lunch or dinner (choose the meal after which you feel least bloated) -DURATION= 2-3 weeks initially , then review with an Ayurvedic physician

-CAUTION= avoid on en empty stomach -if you feel burning, heaviness, or increased acidity, stop and consul physician- it may need a milder digestive formula

BRAHMI PEARLS -DOSE= 1 capsule at bedtime or in the morning if you prefer calm alertness -WITH= warm milk or Lukewarm water -DURATION= 2-3 months for sustained benefits -EFFECT= helps calm the gut- brain axis, reducing stress- induced IBS flares

SUPPORTIVE AYURVEDIC REGIMEN FOR IBS AND SENSITIVE DIGESTION

DIET -warm, freshly cooked, soft foods (khichdi, thin dal, moong soup) -jeera, coriander, fennel, and ginger water - cow’s ghee= 1 tsp daily

AVOID -raw salads, curd at night, fried/spicy food -caffeine, refined sugar, and cold drinks -overeating or irregular meal times

LIFESTYLE -eat in peaceful environment, chew slowly -avoid lying down immediately after meals -maintain regular sleep= 10pm-6am - gentle yoga= pawanmuktasana, apanasana, setu bandhasana -daily 10-15 min deep breathing or Nadi Shodhana pranayam

HOME REMEDIES -jeera-ajwain-saunf water= boil 1 tsp each in 2 cups water, reduce to 1 cup sip warm through the day -Hing + ghee paste= a pinch of hing in 1 tsp warm ghee rubbed around the navel for gas relief -Pippali with honey= helps post meal bloating if tolerated small pinch

INTERATING WITH YOUR CURRENT MEDICINE (VIZILAC) -Continue Vizilacc capsule as prescribed (it helps maintain gut flora) -There is no direct conflict with dhanwanthaam gulika or brahmi pearls , provided you maintain at least a 1 hour gap between allopathic and ayurvedic medicines

WHE TO STOP OR MODIFY -If you experience acidity, nausea, or burning, stop Dhanwantaram Gulika temporarily -You can switch to Avipattikar churna (1/4 tsp with warm water) or Sukumaram ghrita (1/2 tsp at bedtime)- both are gentle for IBS with acidity

OPTIONAL AYURVEDIC ADD - ONs (after 2-3 weeks stability) If tolerated well -Kutajarishta= for loose stools, 10 ml after meals with equal water ) o -Takra siddha - buttermilk spiced with cumin and ajwain as a probiotic drink at lunch

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

Dr. Bhawna
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.

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. 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.
