HELLO RENAE,

You have -frequent loose motions = 10-20/day -mucosa and sometimes blood in stool -slimy texture , clear fluid, sometimes colored -poor appetite and weakness

These symptoms show that -Your intestines are inflamed and are secreting mucus due to irritation or infection -The liver is not functioning at its best, which affects digestion and bile flow -Because you have Hepatitis B and C, and a gallbladder removal with past liver crisis, your digestive and hepatic system are already sensitive

So, your body is trying to flush out toxins and undigested material, but at the same time, it’s losing vital fluids, electrolytes, and digestive power (agni)

Ayurveda calls this condition close to “pravahika” *dysentry) or “sangrahani” (chronic diarrhea with mucus and incomplete digestion0

ACCORDING TO DOSHAS -Pitta is disturbed because of liver dysfunction and past gallbladder issues -Vata is aggravated because of dehydration, anxiety, and frequent purging -Kapha is increased in the intestines causing slimy stools

So, this is a pitta- vata- kapha imbalance with Ama (toxins) in the gut

TREATMENT GOALS -stop infection/ inflammation in intestines -control mucus and bleeding -restore appetite and digestive fire -protect and support liver function - prevent dehydration and weakness -balance vata-pitta-kapha for long term stability

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KUTAJGHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals with water for 15 days or till stools normalize = it is best Ayurvedic antidiarrheal- clears Ama, reduces gut inflammation

2) BILVADI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily with warm water for20 days =reduces mucus, strengthens intestines

3)KUTAJARISHTA= 15ml + equal water twice daily after meals for 30 days = strengthens intestines, restores agni

4) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/4 tsp before meals for 15 days =reduces acidity. balances pitta

5) LIV 52 DS= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 1 month = supports liver detoxification and function

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) ABDOMINAL FOMENTATION with warm towel soaked in cumin + carom seed water- relaxes cramping, improves ciruclation

2) GENTLE OIL MASSAGE= with warm sesame oil on hands, feet and abdomen (avoid if feverish)- calms vata and supports recovery

HOME REMEDIES

1) POMEGRANATE RIND DECOCTION= boil 1 tsp dried rind in 2 cups water-> reduce to 1 cup–> drink warm twice daily =stops mucus and minor bleeding

2) CUMIN-CORIANDER-FENNEL TEA= reduces acidity, aids digestion, mild antispetic

3) RICE GRUEL = overcooked white rice in excess water with a pinch of rock salt = hydrating, easy to digest, balances vata

4) APPLE OR GUAVA BOILED PULP= natural pectin helps form stool

5) BUTTERMILK WITH ROASTED CUMIN= only when stools start to form =restores healthy gut bacteria

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -Rest= avoid physical exertion and stress until stools normalise -Sleep= go to bed early 10 pm, wake early; avoid daytime naps -Avoid cold exposure and cold foods -Avoid mental stress, arguments, or rushing; they aggravate vata -Keep abdomen warm= use soft clothing, avoid tight belts

YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana -pawanmuktasana -balasana -supta baddha konasana

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana -Sheetali

MEDITATION/MINDFULLNESS= 10 -15 min daily

DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -ricee, moong dal, thin khichdi -steamed vegetables like bottle gourd, ash gourd, ridge gourd -pomegranate, apple, guava, banana ripe -coconut water, rice water, herbal teas

AVOID -fried, spicy, oily food - raw salads, cold drinks, dairy, alcohol -red meat, fermented food, caffeine -excess sour and salty foods

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform with your Health journey

From what you have mentioned, your system is clearly under a lot of distress, the frequent mucus field water is tools with occasional blood tinge along with loss of appetite and weakness, indicate that your digestion fire is deeply disturbed In Ayurveda, this condition alliance with GRAHANI , state with the small intestine: lose their strength to hold and digest food properly

Given your background -B& C, post gallbladder removal, and history of very high liver enzymes and jaundice- your body has gone through intense metabolic imbalance… The liver which plays a vital role in digestion and bile regulation seems to still be inflamed and weak The present diarrhoea and mucus suggest pitta and kapha imbalance with toxin accumulation in the intestines

Right now the goal is not to give heavy herbs but to stabilise your digestion stop fluid loss and soothe the liver

Take ,small frequent sips of warm rice gruel made with a pinch of rock salt and a drop of ghee Avoid milk fruits raw vegetables cold drinks and spicy foods Take pumpkin soup with cumin powder Drink buttermilk Take Kutajaghan vati 1-0-1 Arogyavardini vati 1-0-1 Bilwadi churna 1/4 th tsp with warm water Amlaki rasayana-1 tsp with warm water Drink pomegranate juice Tender coconut If blood in stool increases, or yellow discolouration of eyes it’s essential to get immediate medical evaluation

Once stool gets normalize we can add rejuvenating herbs

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.

The symptoms you’re describing indicate an acute gastrointestinal issue, impacting your digestive balance significantly. The presence of mucus and blood suggests irritation or inflammation, likely due to a dosha imbalance. In Ayurveda, such symptoms may align with an imbalance in the Pitta dosha. Immediate action is crucial to address this.

Firstly, see a healthcare professional as soon as possible to rule out severe conditions like infections or inflammatory bowel disease. Blood in stool should be assessed urgently. Meanwhile, you can integrate some Ayurvedic practices to support your system.

Focus on a light, easily digestible diet. Prepare cooked, warm meals to support your agni (digestive fire) without overtaxing it. Khichdi, a simple dish of rice and mung dal, with minimal spices, is excellent. Avoid cold, oily, spicy, and heavy foods that can impair digestion.

Include cumin and coriander in your meals. These herbs have balancing properties for Pitta and can help restore digestive balance. You could also try drinking wine honey water. Mix a tablespoon of honey in lukewarm water works to soothe the digestive tract.

Stay hydrated, but sip water rather than consuming large amounts at once. Over-drinking cold water can aggravate the condition. Boiled and cooled water, sipped throughout day, offers better hydration.

Rest is vital. The body’s natural healing requires energy; prioritize sleep and gentle activity only. Yoga can support recovery—practices like gentle forward bends, or sitting postures (avoiding strenuous poses) can be soothing.

Observe your body’s signals. If symptoms persist or worsen, don’t hesitate to seek further medical care. While Ayurveda offers supportive measures, safety and professional medical guidance remains paramount.

Experiencing diarrhea with mucus and blood requires immediate attention, as it can signal a serious underlying condition. This situation could indicate infections, inflammatory bowel disease, or other gastrointestinal disorders. It is crucial to seek medical help promptly to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment.

From an Ayurveda perspective, such symptoms often point to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly an exacerbation of Pitta dosha (linked to heat and inflammation) and possibly Kapha (excess mucus). This turmoil might disturb the digestive fire, or “Agni,” leading to impaired digestion and assimilation.

In the interim, while waiting for a professional assessment, consider adhering to a bland diet to avoid further irritation to the digestive tract. Favor simple, cooked foods such as rice, soft-cooked lentils (mung dal), and stewed apples. Avoid spicy, oily, or processed foods, which can aggravate symptoms.

Additionally, drinking warm or hot water can assist in soothing the digestive system and help with hydration, which is crucial given the diarrhea. Avoid cold drinks and dairy products until symptoms improve.

Include mild spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel in your food, as these help enhance digestion and ease inflammation. Meanwhile, please reach out to a healthcare provider to address the situation seriously and avoid complications.

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. 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.

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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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. Apeksha Saxena
I am working as an Ayurvedic physician with a focus on practical, grounded care—I try to keep things as close to real-life healing as possible, not just theory. Most of the time, I deal with digestive issues, joint pains, hormonal shifts, lifestyle diseases—the kinds of problems that don’t just go away with one pill or one session. I look at the person’s prakriti first, what’s out of balance, where digestion’s breaking down or emotions are stuck, and then start building the treatment around that. Nothing cookie-cutter. My usual method blends classical Panchakarma therapies, simple diet fixes, some herbal meds, maybe routines that match the patient's nature—not always fancy, but it works. I'm not rigid with classical-only, though. If there's a modern wellness tool that fits the Ayurvedic logic, I don't mind adding it in. What matters is the *result*, right? I’ve done quite a bit of online consults too lately—guiding people remotely who didn’t know much about Ayurveda, and still managing to help them get their heads around what’s going wrong in their body. That’s honestly satisfying. Not everyone needs deep detox—sometimes just understanding their agni or daily habits does half the job. And yeah, I try to keep things clear, not preachy. I tend to go deep into patient stories. Not just the chart stuff—how they *feel* stuck or tired or anxious without knowing why. That part matters. Being able to connect and just listen without rushing, I guess that’s my nature. Ayurveda’s something I’m still growing with. I like to keep learning, not just from books but also from how real ppl respond to the treatments. It’s weird, but every case teaches me something new, makes me rethink my approach a bit. My goal’s simple: make Ayurveda easier to understand, and actually helpful for ppl who’re tired of masking symptoms and want long-term fix.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

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. 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. 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. 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.
