Persistent Sore Throat and Cough with Dizziness and Gas Buildup - #36484

Ramachandran K R

I have had sore throat followed by cough for almost a week. Have taken Adulsa initially 5ml twice, but for the last 4 days it has been 7.5ml thrice daily. Also have had "Tusq" 3 to 4 times/ day for the last 2 days. I have also complemented this with salt water gargling twice + combo of milk + turmeric+ pepper concoction 3 times/ day. Cough has still not subsided. Additionally yesterday I missed my dosage around 4.30pm. To compensate I had a dose one at 9.30pm where I took around 7ml Adulsa followed by another around 12.15am (this was only 5ml). Today morning I woke up with feeling of dizziness +from yesterday evening, I have had gas buildup Can some one explain...

Hello mr Ramchandran Thank you for sharing the details You have mentioned that you had a sore throat, followed by a cough for about a week and taking adults and Tusq together The reason your cough has not reduced is most likely because your throat and Airways or irritated, even though the primary infection has subsided After a viral infection, the throat and bronchial tubes remain inflamed and post nasal drip or mild as it reflux can keep the cough persisting The dizziness and gas you felt after missing a dose and taking 2 close doses of adulsa later in the night or not surprising Adulsa can mainly lower blood pressure or cause lightness when taken in, especially when combined with another cough syrup like Tusq which often contains sedating ingredients Taking boat together can increase the sedation and dizzy effects Having them late at night after milk can also lead to reflex or gas buildup The combination of these factors that is excess close timing of those lying down soon after intake likely caused the dizziness and bloating Start on Lakshmivilasa rasa one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Sithophaladi churna 1/4 th thank you with honey twice daily Tulsi juice 5 ml daily

You do not need to worry too much but you should stop combining both syrup. Choose only one depending upon the type of cough. You have, if your coffee is dry and irritating take only Tusq 5ML3 times a day If it is associated with expectoration or if it is wet, then take aadulsa 5ML3 times a day Do not take both together at a time Continue wars water with salt gargling twice daily Warm water with a bit of ginger tulsi Avoid me at night If you feel bloated, take Ajamodadi churna -1/4 th warm water Keep meals light and avoid lying down immediately after taking food Once you correct the medicine schedule, keep yourself well hydrated and give your throat. Some rest. The dizziness and gas should settle within a day or two and your cough should start easing if the cough continuous for more than 10 days or if you feel breathlessness, feverish sensation or chest condition, then get chest. X-ray done. Once check your blood pressure and sugar levels also

Thank you Dr. Prasad. Very helpful especially clarification on the “dizziness & gas buildup”…

Today morning too had Adulsa with lower dosage - 5ml + 20 ml water, but again experienced “vayu buildup” especially in my back side. Just now took a hot water concoction of jeera, Ajwain & somf, which seems to have given some relief. Will be checking on my BP by today evening. Thanks once again for your inputs

Thank you Dr. Atul for the inputs

HELLO RAMCHANDRAN,

You are having sore throat, cough, gas formation, and dizziness

MAIN SYMPTOMS -persistent sore throat and cough 1 week -dizziness started today morning -gas/bloating since yesterday evening - you increased the frequency and dose of Adult recently

POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS -OVERUSE OF SYRUP= adulsa and Tusq both contains ingredients that I excess may upset digestion or cause mild toxicity - DIZZINESS= may result from mild dehydration, excess mucus drainage, disturbed sleep, or digestive disturbance (heavy for digestion when taken repeatedly) and irregular eating/sleeping can disturb agni (digestive dire) and cause ama (toxic undigested material buildup)

From an Ayurvedic standpoint, this picture suggests -Kaphaja kasa= cough due to kapha aggravation that has persisted -Ama formation and vata aggravation due to excessive sweet syrup, dairy, and irregular digestion-> leading to gas and dizziness - possibly a mild pitta involvement - burning throat, irritation

TREATMENT GOALS -Ama pachana= burn and remove undigested toxin -Agni deepana= rekindle digestion to prevent further Aam -Kapha shamana= liquefy and expel sticky mucus -Vata Niyantrana= calm erratic air movement (gas, dizziness) -Rasayana = restore strength and immunity once symptoms settle

INTERNAL TREATMENT

PHASE 1= CLEANSING AND BALANCING (5-7 days) Goal= reduce ama, clear mucus, restart digestion

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp + honey after meals, twice daily =stimulates digestion, melts kapha, clears throat

2) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals twice daily =removes gas, balances vata

3) TULSI-VASA-SUNTHI KASHAYA (home made decoction)= 100 ml after meals twice daily =expectorantion, throat soothing, kapha reduction

Prepare the decoction by boiling 2 cups water with -Tulsi 5 leaves + dry ginger 1/2 tsp + vasa leaves 1 tsp + black pepper 4-5 crushed-> reduce to 1 cup

PHASE 2= HEALING AND REJUVINATION (10-15 days after phase 1 ) Goal= restore mucosal strength and prevent

1) SHITOPALADI + YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp each + honey twice daily after meals =cough relief, throat coating mild rejuvination

2) KANTAKARI AVALEHA= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily =strengthens lungs, eases breathing

3) VASARISHTA= 15ml + equal water after meals =long term kapha balance, mild bronchodialators

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) GARGLING= warm salt water or triphala decoction twice daily =clears mucus disinfects throat

2) STEAM INHALATION= plain water or ajwain/tulsi once daily at night =liquifies kapha, relieves nasal and chest congestion

3) CHEST MASSAGE = warm sesame oil + pinch dry ginger powder before bath =balances vata, reducs tightness

4) FOOT MASSAGE= sesame oil nightly =imporves slep, grounds vata

LIFESTYLE ADJUSTMENTS -keep body warm; avoid cold weather, Ac, or chilled drinks -do not sleep in the day- increases kapha accumulation -maintain regular meal timings- eat when truly hungry -avoid over talking or loud speech while throat is inflamed -adequate rest but gentle movement (walks) to prevent mucus stagnation -sleep by 10 pm , rise by 6 am

DIET -warm, light, freshly cooked meals- moong dal khichdi , vegetables soups, rice gruel -spices that kindle agni= cumin, ajwain, hing, turmeric, black pepper, dry ginger -herbal drinks= warm water infused with jeera + fennel seeds, tulsi tea -small, frequent meals rather than heavy plates

AVOID -milk, curd, panner, cheese -sweets, bakery, items cold drinks -fried, or oily foods -excess raw fruits at night -late night meals or irregular eating

YOGA AND PRANAYAM Start after dizziness eases, always practice in a warm ventilated space

YOGA ASANAS -Sukhasana= calming posture for bath awareness -Bhujangasana= expands chest, aids breathing -Ardha matsyendrasana= massage digestive organs -pawanmuktasana= releases trapped gas -setu bandhasana= opens lungs, releievs fatigue

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata pitta kapha -bhramari= vibrations relaxes throat and nerves -gentle kapalbhati= clears nasal mucus -nadi sodhana for 5-7 min daily

HOME REMEDIES -Honey + black pepper pinch= twice daily for thraot coating -Ginger juice 1/4 tsp + honey 1/2 tsp- morning and evening -Warm water + lemon + dry ginger pinch- detox and soothe throat -Jeera-ajwain-saunf tea- releives gas and bloating -Steam with Tulsi water- clears nasal blockages -tulsi 5 leaves + 1 clove + 1 cardamom chewed after meals - natural expectorant

Improvement usually seen in 3-5 days, for gas and throat irritation ,cough reduction in 7-10 days if diet and rest are proper

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

The symptoms which you have mentioned seems that you had viral / upper respiratory infections recently Do not worry But avoid taking both syrups at a time If you even have missed also not to worry cover with next coming dose instead of compensating 2 doses Tusq syrups are mild sedative that might have lead to your lightheadedness or dizziness N related to your gas - consuming too much of black pepper might be the reason Take Mulethi tea - sip warm twice daily Warm soups warm water Turmeric milk

I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

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.

Sore throat and cough are common symptoms that can linger, especially with initial self-care strategies like Adulsa and Tusq. What you’re experiencing could be due to vata and kapha dosha imbalance, which can sometimes lead to aggravated symptoms like dizziness and gas. Your current regimen seems comprehensive, but there may be adjustments needed to align better with your dosha and digestive capability (agni).

First, considering the dizziness and gas buildup, it’s essential to check that you’re not overmedicating or taking frequent doses close together, which might overwhelm your system. Taking medications too late at night can sometimes affect digestion and sleep, leading to dizziness in the morning. If these issues persist or worsen, it’s crucial to seek professional medical advice.

For practical Ayurvedic remedies:

1. Focus on meal timings: Eating meals at regular intervals and avoid eating heavy, rich foods late at night is advisable.

2. Digestive teas: Try sipping warm ginger tea or cumin-coriander-fennel tea, which can help alleviate gas and support digestion.

3. Sipping warm water: Throughout the day, sipping on warm water may help soothe the throat and aid in balancing agni.

4. Tulsi leaves and honey: Chewing some fresh Tulsi leaves in the morning followed by a teaspoon of honey can pacify kapha, supporting respiratory function.

5. Manage your stress and routine: Ensure adequate rest, and engage in calming activities like yoga or meditation to balance vata dosha.

Remember to monitor your symptoms closely. If the dizziness continues, or if cough fails to subside, reach out to a healthcare professional. Chronic symptoms need a thorough review, potentially adjusting medications further under advisement.

Dr. Batu
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

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.

My work focuses on restoring balance and vitality by using time-tested Ayurvedic principles rather than quick fixes, which sometimes takes patience, for both of us. I spcialize in managing chronic health conditions, lifestyle-related disorders, and long-term wellness concerns, using individualized care instead of one-size plans. I am experienced in traditional Panchkarma therapies, herbal medicine, diet planning, and lifestyle guidance, all based on a patient’s unique Prakriti and present imbalances, or Vikriti as we say in Ayurveda. I spend a lot of time understanding digestion, stress patterns, sleep, joint pain, skin issues, and subtle symptoms that are often ignored. Sometimes patients expect fast results, and I have to slow things down, explain again, and that process matter. My approach is root-cause oriented, not symptom hiding. I focus on agni, dosha balance, and daily routines, even when it feels repetitive or uncomfortable at first. I believe healing works best when patients are involved, asking questions, adjusting habits, and yes, making mistakes along teh way. My clinic offers a calm, nurturing environment where traditional Ayurvedic healing meets modern understanding of chronic disease and preventive care. I try to create space where body and mind are treated together, not separately, even if that idea feels new to some. I am here to guide patients who seek relief, prevention, or simply better balance in life, using Ayurveda in a natural, holistic, and sustainable way!!

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. Shilpa Shijil
I am still learning how to describe myself without sounding too stiff, but I do feel that my personal and inter-personal skills shape a big part of how I work. I try to stay approachable and not make pts feel rushed, even on days when time is slipping fast. I listen first, maybe longer than needed sometimes, just to catch the small hints in their words or their silence. I end up absorbing a bit of their pain or worry too, and then I remind myself to stay focused so I can actually help them, not just feel it. I am seeing people as whole beings, not just their symptoms or test values, and that keeps my treatment more grounded. I explain things in simple ways, though I get tangled in my phrasing here and there, but I make sure they and their family know what we’re doing and why. I try to stay honest even when the truth is slow progess or a rough patch in the condition. I am pretty dedicated to ethical practice, sometimes to the point where I double-check a simple step, and I don’t mind spending extra time if it means the plan is right. I push myself to keep learning, reading, attending discussions, all without getting scared of criticism, though a harsh comment stings me for a bit. I enjoy public interaction too—talking to groups, answering doubts, explaining Ayurveda without overcomplicating it. I am still shaping these skills every day, but they guide me in giving care that feels human, steady and trustworthy, even on the messy days when I am juggling too many things at once.

Dr. Nayan Wale
I am working in medical field for total 7 years, out of which around 4 years was in hospital setup and 3 years in clinic practice. Hospital work gave me strong base, long duty hours, different type of cases, emergencies sometimes, and learning under pressure. Clinic work is different, slower but deeper, where I sit with patients, listen more, explain things again n again, and follow them over time. In hospital I handled day to day OPD cases, routine management, and also assisted seniors when things got complicated. That phase shaped my clinical thinking a lot, even now I sometimes catch myself thinking like hospital mode when a case looks serious. Clinic practice on the other hand taught me patience. Patients come with chronic issues, expectations, doubts, sometimes fear, and I had to adjust my approach accordingly. I focus on practical treatment planning, not just diagnosis on paper. Some days I feel I should have more time with each patient, but I try to balance it. My experience across hospital and clinic helps me understand both acute care and long term disease management. I still keep learning everyday, reading, observing patterns, correcting myself when needed, because medicine never stays same for long, and neither should the doctor.

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. 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. 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. Shalini Sreedharan
I am an Ayurvedic physician graduated from Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda College, Kerala, and sometimes I still feel that the years I spent learning there left a kind of rhythm in my mind—the way Kerala clinical traditions flow into every thought I have during a consult. I carry that depth of ayurvedic medicine into my practice, mixing it with a slightly modern lens whenever needed, though I admit my thoughts jump around a bit and I end up rewriting a sentence or two while explaining something. My main work sits at the intersection of musculoskeletal health and cosmetic aspects in Ayurveda. It sounds like two different worlds, but clinically they overlap a lot. A joint imbalance shows on the posture, a skin dullness links back to agni, and sometimes a patient tells me one tiny complaint that makes me rethink the whole plan. I pay attention to those small clues even when my notes look a bit scrambled or a comma goes missng somewhere. Panchakarma plays a big role in my approach—deep-acting therapies that work slowly but shift things from the inside. I like understanding why a particular procedure suits one person and not the next, and I sometimes pause midway through planning thinking *wait, that detail matters more than I thought*, then adjust the regimen with more care. Personalized wellness routines also matter a lot to me… diet tweaks, daily habits, simple corrections that people often underestimate. When it comes to cosmetic wellness—radiance, glow, natural rejuvenation—I focus on restoring balance rather than masking the issue. Ayurveda treats beauty as an outcome of internal harmony, and that idea guides most of my choices, even if my words come out a little tangled when trying to explain it fast. My intention is always to help you reach a place where your body feels stronger, lighter, more aligned, and yes, where your natural beauty shows without forcing it. I know healing takes patience, sometimes more than we expect, but I walk through it with you… step by step, with clarity, honesty, and a few typos here and there that sneak in when I’m typing too quick.
