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

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.

Mouth ulcers, constipation with bleeding piles, and symptoms of internal heat are signs of aggravated Pitta in Ayurveda. Your underweight status suggests Vata imbalance too. It’s essential to balance both.

For mouth ulcers, practice oil pulling with coconut oil, as it pacifies Pitta. After brushing your teeth in the morning, take a tablespoon of coconut oil and swish it in your mouth for about 10-15 minutes, then spit it out. Consuming Triphala powder before bed can also help. Mix half teaspoon with warm water — it aids digestion and avoids constipation, reducing heat. Regular consumption of cooling foods such as cucumber, melons, and coconut water, are beneficial.

Constipation and bleeding piles indicate disturbed Apana Vata. Ensure you’re drinking enough warm water throughout the day. Avoid cold and raw foods as they aggravate Vata. Ghee is excellent — have a teaspoon in warm milk at night. Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as cooked vegetables, and whole grains. Steamed leafy greens are ideal. Also, try taking Abhayarishta or a mild herbal laxative like Isabgol with warm water.

Establish a consistent sleep schedule. Go to bed by 10 p.m. and wake by 6 a.m. Avoid stimulants like caffeine, and embrace calming techniques before sleep, such as a warm bath or gentle yoga. Meditation can help reduce mental restlessness. Use Brahmi or Ashwagandha, for calming the mind and easing fatigue.

For internal heat, practice cooling pranayamas like Sheetali and Sheetkari. Do these breathing exercises early morning on empty stomach for effectiveness. Drinking aloe vera juice can also calm Pitta. Recommend you get checked by a healthcare professional to ensure no overlapping conditions like hormonal issues.

By addressing diet, lifestyle and stress, aligning with your Ayurvedic constitution, is optimal for managing your symptoms.

Thanks Doctor , for your in depth explain. I am taking brahmi churna and ashwagandha since months. what is the best time to take these ?

HELLO JIGNA,

You’ve been underweight since childhood (85 lbs), and have had a long history of mouth ulcers, constipation, and bleeding piles. These are recurring , not continuous - meaning your system tends to fluctuate between “too much heat” (mouth ulcers, burning, irritability, bleeding) and “too much dryness” (constipation, fatigue, insomnia)

This pattern tells us that your Pitta dosha (heat and metabolism) and Vata dosha (air and movement) are disturbed- they are not in harmony -Pitta gives digestion, warmth, and clarity- but when high, it causes inflammation, ulcers, acidity, burning, anger, and bleeding -Vata gives movement, creativity, and alertness- but when high, it causes dryness, constipation, sleeplessness and anxiety

Because you are naturally thin and delicate, vata is your basic constitution. over time, stress, irregular eating, spicy foods, and hormonal shifts (perimenopause) aggravated pitta too. Now both vata and pitta are disturbing each other- creating alternating symptoms

Ayurveda explains that -when Pitta increases, heats build up-> ulcers , burning, ager, sweating, irritability -When vata takes over , dryness and sluggish bowel occurs-> constipation, bloating, fatigue

Because your digestion is not balanced, the heat sometimes rises upward (causing mouth ulcers ) and sometimes gets blocked downward (causing constipation and piles)

Hormonal changes of perimenopause (around 40-50 years) also increase pitta and vata- that’s why you feel hot inside, tired, and have sleep disturbances

TREATMENT GOALS -cool down the excess internal heat to prevent ulcers and burning -lubricate and calm the intestines to relieve constipation - heal the rectal area and stop bleeding piles -nourish and strengthen your body since you are underweight - balance hormones and improve sleep during perimenopause -improve digestion and mind calmness for long term balance.

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water twice daily before meals for 3 months =reduces acidity, mouth ulcers, and pitta from stomach. Helps soft bowel movement

2) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 3 months =gentle laxative, cleans colon, balances all doshas

3) SOOTSEKHAR RAS= 1 tab after meals twice daily for 2 months =reduces burning, nausea, hyperacidity, and internal heat

4) ARSHOGINI VATI= 1 tab after meals twice daily till piles heals = stops bleeding, reduces inflamamtion, improves digestion

5) SHATAVARI GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily for 3 months =hormonal balance, cooling, nourishment, supports female system

6) ASHWAGANDHA AVALEHA= 1 tsp after breakfast with warm milk for 3 months = strengthens body, releives fatigue, improves sleep and weight

7) MANASMITRA VATAKAM= 1 tab at bedtime with milk for 2 months =calms mind, promotes sleep, relieves anxiety and restlessness

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1) OIL MASSAGE= warm sesame oil massage on full body 3-4 times/week before bath =calms vata, nourishes skin, improves sleep and strength

2) JATYADI TAILA (local application)= apply gently on piles area after washing with warm water =heals tissues and bleeding, reduces burning

3) MOUTH GARGLE= gargle with Yashtimadhu water twice daily =heals ulcers, cools mouth, prevents recurrence

4) OIL PULLING= swish 1 tsp coconut oil in mouth 5 min, spit out =strengthens gums, cools pitta, prevents ulcers

LIFESTYLE CHANES

SLEEP AND ROUTINE -sleep early 10 pm, wake up early by 6 am -avoid screens and stressful talks before bed -drink warm milk with pinch of nutmeg at night for sleep -avoid skipping meals or irregular eating times

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL RELAXATION -OIL MASSAGE before bath helps vata immensly -Spend time in nature or near greenery- pitta calms with cool surroundings -wear light cotton clothes, avoid heat exposure

YOGA ASANAS -supta baddha konasana -viparita karani -shashankasana -pawamuktasaa -setu badhasana

PRANAYAM -Sheetali/sheetkari= for cooling body heat -Anulom vilom= balances both vata and pitta , calms mind -Bhramari= improves sleep and reduces anxiety, do 10 min morning and 10 min evening

DIET -warm, freshly cooked soft meals -rice, moong dal, khichdi, ghee, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, beetroot, ash gourd -milk, ghee, butter in moderation -Fruits= banana, apple, pomegranate, pear, grapes, dates, soaked raisins -Drinks= coconut water, fennel water, buttermilk with cumin , aloe vera juice

AVOID -Spicy, sour, fermented, fried, pickled ,and very hot foods -coffee, tea, alcohol, vinegar, red chilli, tomatoes, onions -skipping meals or fasting for long periods

GENERAL TIPS -drink lukewarm water (avoid ice cold or boiling hot) -avoid eating when anger or stressed -end each meal with a little ghee to lubricate intestines

HOME REMEDIES -Aloe vera + honey paste= apply on mouth ulcers 2-3 times daily -ghee on tongue or lips= heals mouth drynes -soaked raisins 10-15 overnight- eat In morning empty stomach -warm water + 1 tsp ghee at bedtime- for smooth bowel movement - coconut water twice daily- natural cooling and hydration -licorice tea= soothes ulcers and supports digestion

Your condition is chronic but reversible. Ayurveda ca gradually restore balance by cooling the internal heat, nourishing your tissues, and calming the mind.

It will take around 3-4 months of consistent lifestyle and herbal support to feel deep improvement You are underweight so focus on nourishment and strength not fasting or detoxing Patience, regularity, and calmness are essence of your healing

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Thanks Doctor , Your thorough analysis of every problem was fantastic! Which specific foods should I add to my diet for optimal health?

The symptoms you describe suggest an imbalance, likely within the pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism. Mouth ulcers and a sensation of internal heat often signal excess pitta. Meanwhile, constipation and piles can also indicate vata imbalance. Managing these doshic disturbances requires a balanced approach.

For mouth ulcers, try applying a paste of licorice root (mulethi) and honey directly onto the ulcers. Do this twice a day. To cool pitta, drink coriander seed tea or have the juice of aloe vera (one tablespoon mixed in water) daily. Reduce intake of spicy, fried, and overly sour foods, as they can aggravate pitta.

To address constipation, include more fibrous foods like cooked vegetables and ripe fruits in meals. It’s crucial to stay hydrated; warm water might be more soothing. Taking a teaspoon of triphala powder with warm water before bed can help regulate bowel movements.

Your sensation of internal heat and constitutional challenges could indeed relate to hormonal shifts, though Ayurveda focuses more on doshic balance than specific hormonal diagnoses. Supporting vata with grounding routines, like a consistent sleep schedule, warm oil massages (abhyanga) using sesame oil, and gentle yoga or meditation, can alleviate fatigue and restlessness.

Fatty foods and heavy-to-digest items can increase your discomfort, so avoid them especially in the evening. If bleeding persists or symptoms worsen, seeking medical advice is vital to rule out more serious conditions. Balancing your doshas will not only relieve immediate symptoms but foster overall well-being.

HELLO JIGNA,

This is not perimenopausal primarily This was there 20+ years before. Perimeopasue may slightly amplify it now- but it is not root.

Root is your Prakriti + dhatukshaya + vata aggravation + pitta flare cycles

MOUTH ULCERS= PITTA FLARE Consitpatio/hard stool/ fissue/ piles= vata flare

Both share same root= mandagni + dhatukshaya + vata pradhanta sharir

When agni crashes-> constipation + vata ups When pitta tries to “burn through the ama”-> ulcers

1) MAKE AGNI STABLE FIRST -Jeera + ajwain + dry ginger churna pinch after each meal -warm water only- stop iced / cold/ smoothies

2) STOP triggers -tomatoes, tamarind, green chilli, citric drinks, coffee, packaged food, vinegar, fermented spicy chutney

3) MOUTH ULCER MANAGEMENT -Yashtimadhu Churna + ghee local apply -Sipping fresh home made tea twice daily= coriander +fennel + licorice

4) CONSTIPATION DAILY BASELINE =1 tsp ghee with warm milk at ight always -2 soaked raisins + 2 soaked figs daily morning -If still hard-> TRIPHALA 1 tsp at night regular

5) RASAYANA LONG TERM -Shatavari= 1 tsp with milk at night for 3 months -Guduchi Churna 1 tsp morning with warm water for 3 months -these two reduce chronic pitta inflammation + support perimenopause gently

6) FOOD STRUCTURE -soft warm dal + rice + ghee base -more khichdi, moong dal, pur, red rice, bottle gourd, ash gourd, ridge gourd -avoid raw salads

7) SLEEP SUPPORT- very important for vata -warm oil feet before sleep- sesame oil/ghee

THANK YOU

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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. 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. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

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

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.
