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.

Start with- 1. Varunadi Kashayam (for overall detox and iron support): Mix 15 ml with equal warm water, sip twice daily before meals. 2. Draksharishta (fermented tonic for B12/iron boost and digestion): 20 ml with equal warm water, twice daily after meals. 3. Triphala Tablets (gentle cleanser for better nutrient uptake): 1-2 tablets (500 mg each) at night before bed. 4. Amla Capsules (Vitamin C powerhouse to aid iron/Vit D absorption): 1 capsule (500 mg) twice daily after meals.

External application Rub these in gently – consistency is key for regrowth. 1. Bhringraj Oil Massage: Warm a bit, massage into scalp 3-4x/week, leave on overnight, shampoo off morning. 2. Amla-Brahmi Paste: Mix equal parts Amla and Brahmi powders with water, apply to scalp 2x/week for 20 mins, rinse.

Diet Advice - Your digestive issues mean we focus on easy-to-absorb foods – think warm, home-cooked stuff to fire up your Agni 1. Munch on sesame seeds (for iron), fermented yogurt or eggs (B12), and fatty fish if non-veg. Add Amla juice or spinach daily. 2. Start with ginger tea, have mung dal soup or khichdi for lunch, steamed veggies for dinner. Snack on nuts/seeds.

Skip These: Processed junk, cold drinks, excess caffeine – they worsen absorption.

Sun Time: 15-20 mins daily exposure for natural Vit D

Lifestyle Vibes (Keep It Simple and Steady) Move a Bit: Gentle yoga or walks 20 mins daily – helps digestion and stress (which can worsen hair loss). Chill Out: 10 mins deep breathing or meditation – your gut and hair will thank you. Sleep & Routine: Aim for 7-8 hours; eat at regular times to fix those bowel blues.

Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

Hello, Thank you for sharing your detailed report. I understand your concern—hair fall, receding hairline, and low vitamin levels can be very distressing, especially when they affect your confidence and energy. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

The Ayurvedic goal is to: 1. Improve digestion and absorption (Agni Deepana & Pachana) 2. Nourish depleted Dhatus (Dhatu Pushti) 3. Strengthen hair roots and prevent further loss (Kesha Sanvardhana)

✅ AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN

✅ Deepana–Pachana (Enhance Digestion & Nutrient Absorption)

Start with: 1 Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp with honey before lunch and dinner for 15 days. ( Improves absorption of iron and B12 by stimulating Agni.)

2 Draksharishta – 20 ml twice daily after meals with equal water. ( Enhances Rasa Dhatu formation and helps mild anaemia.)

✅ Dhatu Poshana & Rasayana (Rejuvenating Supplements)

1. Dhatri Rasayana – 1 tsp twice daily with warm water. ( Rich in natural vitamin C, improves iron absorption, strengthens hair follicles.)

2. Navayasa Lauha – 1 tablet twice daily after food. ( Classical iron formulation that improves iron levels without constipation.)

3. Saptamrit Lauha – 1 tablet twice daily after food. ( Beneficial for eye, hair, and skin health; supports blood tissue.)

4. Balarishta – 20 ml twice daily after food with equal water. ( Helps build stamina and improves vitamin B12 assimilation naturally.)

5. Kerala Ayurveda Brahma Rasayana – 1 tsp daily in the morning. ( Excellent general Rasayana that restores vitality and improves nutrient absorption.)

✅ Local Application for Hair Fall Control

Bhringraj Taila or Neelibhringadi Taila – Warm and apply gently on scalp thrice weekly. 👉 Stimulates hair follicles, improves blood circulation, prevents receding hairline.

Nalpamaradi Keram for scalp massage once a week for detoxifying scalp and balancing Pitta.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include in Diet:

Warm milk with ½ tsp Ghee + Amla powder daily. Dates, black raisins, sesame seeds, beetroot, jaggery, and leafy greens (for iron). Soaked almonds and walnuts (for B12 and healthy fats). Sun exposure (morning sunlight 20 min daily) to boost Vitamin D naturally.

❌ Avoid:

Tea, coffee immediately after meals (hinder iron absorption). Fried, spicy, junk food, and irregular eating habits. Sleeping late at night or stress (both aggravate Pitta–Vata and worsen hair fall).

Lifestyle Practice Shiro Abhyanga (head massage) twice a week.

Yoga Asanas: Adho Mukha Svanasana, Sarvangasana, Uttanasana – improve scalp blood flow.

Practice Bhramari and Nadi Shodhana Pranayama for stress balance.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

Your vitamin deficiencies — Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and Iron — are significant, and may indeed contribute to issues like hair fall, among other health problems. In Ayurveda, deficiencies can be tied to weak Agni (digestive fire) and imbalances in your doshas, particularly Pitta, which often relates to hair health.

For Vitamin D: Exposure to sunlight is vital. Aim for 15 to 20 minutes each day, preferably morning sun. Include dietary sources such as ghee, dairy, and sesame oil. You might consider an Ayurvedic supplement like Sitopaladi Churna, known to strengthen Agni, which can be taken with honey and ghee.

Vitamin B12 deficiency may be resolved with animal-based products like milk and cheese, as they are the natural Ayurvedic recommendation. If vegetarian, fermented foods like homemade pickles can be helpful.

For Iron, focus on eating Punnarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), Amla (Indian Gooseberry), and Jaggery with sesame seeds in your diet. Also, cooking in iron utensils might increase their levels gradually.

Hair Loss concern can be intensified by nutritional deficiencies but also by stress or unbalanced lifestyle. Keep your Pitta in check by managing tasks to avoid stress, and incorporate cooling foods such as cucumber, coconut, and brahmi (Bacopa monnieri).

Using Amla oil for your scalp with a gentle massage weekly is also beneficial. Amla powder can also be consumed with water to promote ojas (vital energy) and hair health. For a more intensive treatment, consider using Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) oil, which is renowned for supporting hair growth.

It’s essential to rectify deficiencies with a combined approach of diet, lifestyle, and sometimes supplements. If you experience severe symptoms or these remedies don’t help, consult an Ayurvedic specialist.

Adjustments in diet and routine can gradually contribute to better health and reduced symptoms. Avoid excessive heating substances, keep stress levels low, prioritize sleep, and practice yoga or meditation to balance your body and mind effectively.

Thanks a lot. Kindly suggest when and how to take these medicines i.e, exact quantity and routine.

HELLO,

You have 3 main vitamin deficiencies and noticeable hair loss, aloe with digestive issues.

LOW VITAMIN D (8.8) -This means your body isn’t absorbing enough calcium and sunlight energy. In Ayurveda, it indicates Asthi dhatu kshaya (weak bone and tissue metabolism) and Vata imbalance- leading to weak roots of hair and fatigue.

LOW VITAMIN B12 (159) -Suggests poor absorption of the intestines due to Mandagni (weak digestive fire). This causes poor tissue nourishment and affects nerves, blood and hair growth

LOW IRON (64) -Indicates weak blood tissue- causing dull skin, pale face, tiredness, and weak hair roots

DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS Ayurveda considers digestion the foundation of health. when digestion is weak, food doesnt convert properly into nutrients- this leads to Ama (toxins) , which block the channels and prevent nutrients from reaching the hair follicles

HAIRFALL AND RECEDING HAIRLINE -These are symptoms of the above internal imbalances- especially aggravated Pitta (heat, inflammation) and Vata (dryness and depletion). The hair follicles become undernourished and blood supply reduces , leading to thinning , loss and premature greying

TREATMENT GOALS -improve digestion and nutrients absorption -rebuild blood and tissue strength -nourish and rejuvenate hair follicles -calm pitta and vata dosha to prevent further hair loss -balance body, mind, and hormones through lifestyle and yoga

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey before meals for 6 weeks =improves digestion and absorption of nutrients

2) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water after meals for 2 months = reduces gas, bloating, strengthen agni

3) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 2 months = detoxifies liver, enhances metabolism supports B12 absorption

4) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months = builds blood and corrects iron deficiency

5) LOHASAVA= 15ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 3 months = iron rich tonic, improves haemoglobin

6) SHILAJIT CAPSULE= 1 cap daily mroning for 2 months =bossts energy , rejuvenates helps b12 level

7) BRINGARAJ CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily with warm water for 3months = hair rejuvenator, improves hair strength

8) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily in morning for 3 months = antioxidant vitamin C, supports hair growth

These medicines work together to restore digestion, rebuild blood, and nourish hair from inside

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) NEELIBRINGADI TAILA= massage scalp twice weekly leave 1 hr before bath = improves scalp ciruclation, strengthens roots, prevents hair fall

2) COCONUT OR SESAME OIL = full body massage 2-3 times/week = Balances Vata, improves skin and nutrient flow

3) HAIR WASH (amla+reeth+ sikakaiw)= 2-3 tiems/week = cleans scalp gently without stripping oils

4) ALOE VERA GEL (pure)= apply to scalp once a week =cools scalp, reduces inflammation

DIET -warm, cooked, light meals- khichri, vegetables soups, dal rice -cow’s ghee- 1 tsp daily, helps absorb vitamins and nourishes hair -cow’s milk preferably boiled and warm -fresh fruits= pomegranate, papaya, guava, amla, dates -Iron rich foods= black sesame seeds, jaggery, beetroot, spinach, drumstick leaves -Calcium and vitamin D foods= sesame seeds, ragi, milk, ghee and su exposure -Herbal teas= cumin-coriander-fenneltea for digestion

AVOID -fried, oily, junk foods -excess tea/coffee - blocks iron absorption -cold, stale food or leftover -curd at night -smoking, alcohol, late night eating

LIFESTYLE -Sleep= 10pm to 6 am- hair regeneration happens during sleep -Morning= drink 1 glass of warm water with few drops of lemon -Sunlight= morning sun exposure for 20-30 min daily without sunscreen -Avoid excessive mental stress and overthinknig -Oil massage before bath twice weekly -Stay hydrate- 2.5-3 L of warm water daily -use natural wooden comb; avoid tight hairstyles or hot water on scalp

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -adho mukha svanasana= improves blood flow to scalp -sarvangasana= stimulates thyroid and scalp circulation -vajrasana after meals= improves digestion -matsyasana= strengthens scalp and neck circulation -anulom vilom= balances body heat and stress -bhramari= calms mind and supports hormonal balance -shavasana= stress relief and better sleep

HOME REMEDIES -Amla juice= 20 ml daily morning empty stomach -Aloe vera + coconut oil hair pack= once a week -Fenugreekpaste= soak overnight grind apply to scalp for 20 min -curry leaf water= boil curry leaves, cool and rinse hair -jeera + ajwain water= for digestion, drink warm after meals

Your condition is reversible- but requires consistency. The main key is improving digestion and nutrient absorption Once your body starts absorbing vitamins properly, hair regrowth happens naturally Hair oils and external care only work the internal nutrition and metabolism are balanced

Think of it as three-way healing -Heal the gut-> nutrients absorbed -Build blood and tissue-> strength restored -Nourish scalp-> hair growths

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Thanks. Some medines are churna and some are tab so can be taken at a time or should be gap between them.

Like, loha sava + hingwasataka in water with other tab can be taken

OK COOL,

THEN INSTEAD OF BRINGARAJCHURNA YOU CAN TAKE BRINGARAJ CAPSULES= 1 CAP TWICE DAILY

INSTEAD OF TRIKATU CHURNA TAKE AGNITUDI VATI=1 TAB TWICE DAILY BEFORE MEALS

AND CAN REPLACE HINGWASATAKA WITH CHRITAKADI VATI- 1 TAB TWICE DAILY

BUT I SUGGEST YOU TO TAKE CHURNA FOR ATLEAST ONE TIME PREFERABBLY AFTER 5 YOU CAN TAKE AT DINNER TIME

THANK YOU

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

-AMALAKI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water in morning

-GUDUCHI GHANVATI= 2 tabs in morning

-SHATAVARI= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime

3) TAILA EXTERALLY

-Bringaraj Taila + neelibhringadi Taila alternate night =leave over night, wash next day or no harsh shampoo

4) DIET -avoid sour + spicy + deep fried for 8 weeks- -add black sesame , dates, jaggery , ghee -weekly bone broth improves collagen matrix, hair anchoring

5) VITAMIN SYNERGY BOOSTER -CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp morning empty stomach

TIME LINE EXPECTATION REALISTIC -Gut correction =energy changes= 2-4 week -sheeding reduction= 6-8 weeks -densiity improvement= 4-6 months hair line stop recession= possible stabilization= 3-6 months

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

Dr. 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.

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. 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. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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

Dr. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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. 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. 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. 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.
