Hello Brighton,

I can understand your concern regarding Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head — in Ayurvedic view — correlates with Asthi-Majjagata Vata but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

Stage 2/3 indicates early to moderate damage, and Ayurveda aims to stop further degeneration, nourish bone tissue, and improve blood flow to the femoral head.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT-

✅ Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (for Bone Nourishment & Circulation)

1. Lakshadi Guggulu –1-0-1 after food strengthens bone, reduces degeneration, and helps healing of bone tissue.

2. Kaishora Guggulu – 1-0-1 after food reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation to the affected joint.

3. Ashwagandha Churna– 1 tsp churna with warm milk at bedtime excellent for Vata pacification, pain relief, and bone strengthening.

4. Abha Guggulu 1-0-1 after food – promotes regeneration of bone tissue (Asthi dhatu poshana).

✅Panchakarma Therapy – The Cornerstone of AVN Management ( Very important for you )

☑️Panchakarma is essential to arrest disease progression, rejuvenate bones, and restore movement. These therapies directly act on Asthi-Majja Dhatu and Vata dosha-

1. Abhyanga (Therapeutic oil massage): full-body massage with Ksheerabala Taila, or Dhanwantharam Taila improves blood flow and reduces stiffness.

2. Swedana (Steam therapy): Following abhyanga with gentle medicated steam helps reduce pain and enhances circulation in hip joints.

3. Basti (Medicated Enema): Most vital therapy for AVN — Dashmoola ksheera basti - l nourishes Asthi dhatu, relieves pain, and improves mobility. Duration: 8-14 days under Ayurvedic supervision

Benefit Deep tissue nourishment and reversal of early degeneration.

✅As from Previous consulation I came to know that you live in Africa, but plsease once look for any Ayurvedic panchakarma center o

☑️Incase you dont get any panchakarma center 👉you can do mild massage over your lower back and both femoral and lower limb region with ksheerbala taila for 15 mins 👉followed by warm water bath over the area 👉You can try Dashmool sitz bath - PREPARATION- take 30 gm of dashmoola choorna or panchanga, Add 3 litres of water and 3 litres of milk boil and reduce to 3 litres and use this decoction for sitz bath This will locally nourish the femoral head

✅DIETARY AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Include calcium-rich and nourishing foods: milk, ghee, sesame, almonds, dates, black gram soup, green leafy vegetables.

Avoid dry, spicy, and cold foods that aggravate Vata dosha.

Avoid long walking, running, and sudden jerky movements.

In AVN Stage 2/3, Ayurveda can significantly slow down or even halt progression by -Improving blood flow and bone nutrition -Reducing inflammation and pain -Strengthening Asthi Dhatu through Panchakarma and Rasayana

Among all, Basti therapy (oil-based enema) is considered the most important treatment — it directly nourishes and revitalizes the degenerated bone tissue and improves mobility naturally.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Thank you Dr Vidhate

Will try that. I appreciate.

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.

Hi Brighton, AVN can be managed with ayurveda. But to get effective results, you need to undergo Panchakarma therapy which includes Massage, steam and Basti treatment. Find a Panchakarma centre in your country if there’s one.

Procedures you need to undergo 1. Massage with Ksheerbala Oil followed by Sudation therapy

Basti Treatment 2. Panchatikt Ksheer Basti (In this medication decoction is prepared (400-450ml) and is administered through anorectal route with the help of catheter. 3. Anuvasan Basti with Sahcharadi Oil (70ml)

Medications- 1. Capsule Sahcharadi Tail, 1-0-1 2. Capsule Palsinuron 2-0-2 3. Tab Shallaki 1-0-1 4. Dashmool Kwatha 15ml-0-15ml before food with 15 ml lukewarm water

Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

Thanks for the prescription Doc

Avascular necrosis, particularly of the femoral head, requires careful management. In Ayurveda, this condition is seen as an imbalance in Vata dosha, affecting the asthi dhatu (bone tissue). Ayurvedic management focuses on Vata pacification and bone strengthening.

Firstly, consider making dietary changes to support bone health and balance Vata. Warm, nourishing foods like ghee, sesame oil, and bone broth are beneficial. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods which may aggravate Vata. Including cooked vegetables such as sweet potatoes and carrots can help.

Herbs that support bone health and Vata balance include Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), and Guggulu (Commiphora mukul). You can take 500 mg of Ashwagandha with warm milk twice daily, which also aids in reducing inflammation. Guggulu can be taken in the form of Yogaraj Guggulu; consult a practitioner for dosing based on severity.

Panchakarma, particularly Basti (medicated enema), can be considered for Vata balance and pain reduction. Seek a qualified Ayurveda practitioner for this therapeutic cleansing.

External applications such as Ksheerabala oil for local massage can help alleviate pain. Warm the oil slightly before applying it gently over the hip area twice a day.

Regular, mild exercise such as yoga, especially poses focusing on joint and hip mobility, can be beneficial. However, ensure you avoid weight-bearing activities that can increase pain or worsening your condition.

Monitor symptoms closely, and keep in touch with a healthcare provider to ensure that the condition does not worsen. Remember, Ayurveda works best as supportive care, and continuing any conventional treatments is crucial.

Thank you

HELLO BRIGHTON,

WHAT HAPPENS IN AVN -The femoral head gets its nourishment from small blood vessels -when blood flow decreases due to injury, steroids,alcohol or unknown reasons, bone cells start dying -overtime, this dead bone becomes weak-> cracks -> the smooth round surface callpase-> the hip joint becomes irregular and painful

STAGES

STAGE 1= blood supply reduced, pain mild, bone still looks normal on X-RAY STAGE2= bone begin to hardn or show cysts pain increases STAGE 3=bone starts collapsing, hip joint surface become uneven-> pain while walking, limping STAGE 4= complete collapse-> arthritis develops-> constant pain even at rest

So at stage 2-3 the goal is to stop further bone death, strengthen bone, reduce pain and stiffness and improve blood circulation

In Ayurveda, this condition is mainly due to “vata dosha aggravation” affecting the Asthi (bone) and Majja (bone marrow) This leads to -dryness and weakness in bones -poor nourishment -pain, cracking, stiffness, and reduced joint movement

TRETMENT GOALS -reduce inflammation and muscle tightness -stimulate new bone formation improve blood flow to femoral head -remove ama/toxins blocking channels -stop further necrosis

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KAISHOR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =cleanses blood, reduces inflamamtion, balances pitta vata

2) LAKSHADI GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =strengthens bone matrix, promotes fracture and bone repair

3) MAHARASNADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily before meals =improves joint circulation, reduces pain and stiffness

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime =increases strength, muscle mass, improves regeneration

5) SHALLKAI CAPSULES= 500mg twice daily after meals =reduces joint inflammation, and improves mobitltiy

6) ABHRAM BHASMA= 125mg once with honey =rejuventates bones and marrow tissues

7) BALA ARISHTA= 15ml twice daily after meals with warm water =balnces vata, improves nerve and jonit function

DURATION= Minimum 6 months, ideally continued or 12 months or more depending on response and related MRI to see improvement

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) DAILY OIL MASSAGE= daily massage with Ksheerbala taila =improves local circulation, nourishes joint tissues, reduces pain

2) STEAM= after oil massage mild steam =relieves stiffness and improves flexibility

DIET -freshly cooked rice, moong dal, ghee, milk and soups -sesame seeds, dates, soaked almonds, figs, raisins -vegetables= bottle gourd, ash gourd, pumpkin, spinach, beetroot -rasayana foods= milk with ghee, ashwagandha and shatavari, amla

AVOID -junk, fried, fermented or stale food -alcohol, smoking, major cause of AVN -cery spicy, sour, or dry foods -fastig, skipping meals, late night eating

HOME REMEDIES - warm milk with a pinch of turmeric+ ghee at night -bone broth or vegetable soup with sesame powder - apply warm sesame oil on hips before bath for daily pain relief

YOGA ASANAS-avoid if pain is more -tadaasana= improves posture -setu bandhasana= strengthens hips -supta padangusthasana= improves flexibility -vrikshasana= for balance and stability -pawanmuktasana= improves joint movement

AVOID = deep squats, sitting cross legged, high impact exercise

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom = balances vata -bhramari= relaxes nerves -ujjayi= improves oxygenation and circulation -nadi shuddhi= improves energy flow

LIFESTYLE TIPS -avoid running, jumping, or heavy weight lifting -use walking stick temporarily if pain severe - reduce stress onjoints -keep body warm-avoid cold exposure -maintain a consistent sleep routine -manage stress through meditation and slow breathing -regular oil massage before bath-extremely beneficial for vata balance

AVN is not reversible once collapse occurs, but Ayurveda can often halt or slow progression, reduce pain and delay prevent surgery if started early -The key is discipline and patience- it’s a 6-12 month program, combining internal medications, external therapies, proper diet, and lfiestyle modification

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Dr ACHARYA you have indeed taken your time and explained throughly. I appreciate and definitely try the remedies. Thanks

Avascular necrosis is a serious condition where blood flow to the femoral head is reduced, leading to bone damage. While Ayurveda can support the management of symptoms and improve overall wellbeing, it’s crucial to continue working with your healthcare provider as well. In Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, the issue may be related to aggravated Vata dosha affecting bone tissue (asthi dhatu) and circulating energy (nadi). Addressing the root cause involves balancing Vata, strengthening bones, and enhancing circulation.

Firstly, consider dietary adjustments to pacify Vata, such as warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest, emphasizing ghee, which can support bone health. Include herbs known in Ayurveda for their anti-inflammatory and bone-strengthening properties, such as Ashwagandha and Shilajit. These can be taken with warm milk or as part of a herbal formulation—aim for consistency, perhaps twice a day.

Warm oil massages with medicated oils like Mahanarayan Tailam can help mitigate pain and improve circulation. Focus on gentle application around the hip and thigh. Daily oil massage before warm baths can be beneficial. Additionally, engage in gentle exercises like yoga to enhance flexibility and circulation, but avoid any strain that might exacerbate pain.

Stay hydrated, as this helps maintain joint health. Triphala can be taken for detoxification and improving digestion, helping maintain overall balance.

If your pain significantly increases or mobility reduces, prompt medical intervention may be necessary, so do not delay consulting a medical professional when needed.

Dr. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

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

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. 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. Sumi. S
I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.

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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. 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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Shazia Amreen
I am Dr. Shazia Amreen, an Ayurvedic physcian with a little over 7 years of hands-on experience in clinical practice. I did my MD in Ayurveda from Government Ayurveda Medical College, Bangalore—and honestly, those years helped me go much deeper into the classical texts and the clinical ground. Not just theory... actual healing. Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with a diverse set of patients—from chronic gut problems to skin & hair concerns, musculoskeletal issues, hormonal imbalances, kidney stones, you name it. My core strength really lies in Panchakarma and gastrointestinal healing, where I don’t just jump into detox, but take time to see where the agni is, how deep the ama has gone, and whether the body’s ready to reset. I’m very rooted in classical assessment—looking at dosha imbalance, dhatu state, and prakriti before planning anything. But also, I keep it grounded in modern daily life. What’s the point of a great herbal blend if the person can’t sleep on time or digest their food properly, right? That’s why I focus big on Ahara-Vihara guidance. I don’t just hand over a diet list—I walk people through why those changes matter, and how to make them sustainable. In my practice, I often blend Rasayana chikitsa with basic lifestyle coaching, especially for cases like IBS, PCOS, eczema, migraines, or stress-triggered flareups. Each case is unique, and I don’t believe in repeating the same formula just because it worked for someone else. I also emphasize emotional reset, especially in long-standing chronic cases—sometimes people carry fear, shame, or frustration about their illness. I try to hold space for that too. Whether it’s someone coming in for general detox, a fertility consult, or just confused by their symptoms—I aim to build a plan that makes sense to them. It should feel doable. Balanced. And over time, it should make them feel like they’re coming back home to their own body. That’s the kind of Ayurvedic care I believe in—and try to deliver every single day.

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.
