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.

Hello I can understand your concern regarding long-standing hypersensitivity disorder involving both upper and lower respiratory tracts — Allergic Rhinitis with Bronchial Asthma overlap. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅PLAN OF TREATMENT

Main objectives of Treatment 1. Ama pachana – Detoxify and restore Agni 2. Kapha-Vata shamana – Clear airway blockages 3. Pranavaha srotas shodhana – Reopen respiratory channel4. Ojas vardhana – Build immunity and lung strength

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Haridra Khanda 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily (Antihistaminic, anti-inflammatory, reduces sneezing and IgE)

2 Sitopaladi Churna + Yashtimadhu ½ tsp mixture with honey twice daily (Relieves throat irritation and dry cough)

3 Dashmoola katutreya ks tab 2-0-2 after food (Kapha-Vata pacification, relieves wheezing)

4 Tribhuvan Kirti Ras 125 mg with honey once daily (For chronic cough, sinus congestion)

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include

Warm, freshly prepared light meals — moong dal khichdi, barley, lauki, red rice.

Spices that kindle Agni and reduce Kapha — turmeric, black pepper, dry ginger, cumin, ajwain, cinnamon.

1 tsp cow ghee daily – nourishes Ojas and lubricates airways.

Tulsi-Ginger tea or Cinnamon-Turmeric decoction twice daily.

Coriander-Jeera-Saunf water – helps detox and improves digestion.

Steamed vegetables, pomegranate, apples – easy to digest and non-mucogenic.

❌ Avoid

Cold, heavy, oily, or sweet foods (curd, banana, sweets, fried snacks). Milk at night, ice cream, cold water, carbonated drinks. Bakery items, refined sugar, cheese, and alcohol. Daytime sleep and exposure to cold air or fan directly after bath.

✅LIFESTYLE AND DAILY PRACTICES

Early rising (Brahma Muhurta) Calm and pure air aids Prana (Reduces congestion)

Steam inhalation With ajwain/tulsi leaves 2× daily Relieves nasal blockage

Daily Nasya 2 drops of Anu Taila each nostril in morning Prevents recurrence

Yoga & Pranayama Anulom Vilom, Bhastrika (mild), Bhramari, Kapalabhati (gentle) Strengthens lungs, clears channels

Avoid cold exposure Wear scarf/mask in cold weather Prevents flare-ups

Stress management Meditation, music, mild walks Reduces psychosomatic triggers

Clean environment Air purifier, dust-free surroundings Minimizes allergen load

✅ Rasayana (Rejuvenation Phase – After 3 months of Shamana therapy)

Once symptoms stabilize, use the following for long-term immunity and tissue rejuvenation:

Chyawanprash Avaleha 1 tsp morning Improves lung strength & Ojas

✅Supportive Modern Monitoring

Repeat IgE level every 6 months. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) to assess lung capacity. Monitor Vitamin D and Eosinophil count (usually high in allergy). Gradual tapering of allopathic bronchodilators under supervision when symptoms improve.

With strict adherence to Pathya, Panchakarma, and Rasayana therapy, symptoms reduce within 8–12 weeks, and relapse frequency decreases. Long-term regular Nasya and Agni maintenance prevent recurrence. IgE can normalize gradually over 9–12 months.

✅HOME REMEDIES

Haldi milk with a pinch of black pepper daily night.

Honey + Tulsi + Ginger juice (1 tsp each) every morning in mild asthma.

Ajwain potli steam inhalation for nasal congestion.

Chew 3–4 black raisins soaked overnight – helps dryness and wheezing.

By cleansing the channels (Shodhana), balancing doshas (Shamana), and building Ojas (Rasayana), your body can overcome this chronic cycle of allergies and breathlessness.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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.

Your IgE level is quiet high.

Use dust mite proof covers on pillows and mattress. Wash bedsheets in hot water weekly. Keep windows closed in early morning.

Always drink warm water.

1. Amruta rajanyadi kashaya 15 ml + 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food. 2. Mukkamukkudadi gutika 1-1-1 after food 3. Thaleesadi choornam frequently. 4. Anutailam 1 drop in each nostril at empty stomach after steam inhalation. 5. Dhoopana with haridra varti is also beneficial but under guidance.

Took these medicines for 2 weeks and follow up.

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.

You need to undergo Vaman procedure followed by Virechana at your nearby Panchakarma centre. The elimination of vitiated doshas from your body will help you in your condition. The internal medications would provide relief much better.

Thank you

Dr. Akshay Negi
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.

Addressing chronic allergies and asthma in Ayurveda involves a combination of dietary, lifestyle, and herbal interventions targeted toward balancing your dosha and strengthening your immune system. Considering your symptoms like sneezing, running or blocked nose, throat irritation, wheezing, and dry cough, it seems to be an imbalance of Kapha and Vata doshas. These doshas can create ama, or toxins, that further aggravate your condition.

Firstly, understanding your daily routine or dinacharya will be crucial. Start your day with a warm glass of water to boost your agni or digestive fire. Avoid cold foods and drinks, as they can imbalance Kapha. Favor warm, cooked meals enriched with spices like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper to aid digestion and clear mucus. Include Trikatu churna (a combination of ginger, long pepper, and black pepper) before meals to ignite metabolism and burn excess Kapha residue.

Incorporating neti kriya, a cleansing technique to flush the nasal passages with saline solution, performed in the morning might offer relief to nasal congestion and enhance breathing. However, learn this technique safely from a trained practitioner before attempting.

Breathing exercises or pranayama, especially Kapalbhati and Anulom Vilom, performed in a calm setting can strengthen your respiratory system if done regularly. Aim for a consistent practice of at least 15 minutes each day.

Herbs like Tulsi, Vasaka, and Yashtimadhu are known for their anti-inflammatory and soothe asthma symptoms. You might consider consuming them in the form of herbal tea or as per an Ayurvedic practitioner’s guidance.

Consider applying a warm sesame oil massage (abhyanga) as it can alleviate vata imbalances and relieve body aches. Warm showers may also ease respiratory discomfort and help relax the bronchi on cold mornings.

Since high IgE levels can pose serious allergic reactions, continue under regular medical observation to monitor this aspect. Quick response is crucial if your symptoms intensify suddenly. Combining these strategies of Ayurveda with lifestyle modifications can provide symptomatic relief over time, but do not abandon any ongoing medical treatments without consulting your healthcare providers assiduously.

You are suffering from a chronic allergic airway disease, which includes two main problems -ALLERGIC RHINITS= inflammation of the nasal passage causing sneezing, runny nose, blockage -ASTHMA= inflammation and narrowing of the bronchial tubes causing breathlessness wheezing and cough

Your IgE 2380 shows that your immune system is overheating to harmless substances like dust, pollen, and cold air This is not an infection- it’s a hypersensitivity reaction

According to Ayurveda, your symptoms indicate -Kapha dosha aggravation= causes excess mucus, congestion, heaviness -Vata dosha aggravation= causes dryness, cough, breathlessness, and wheezing -Ama (toxin accumulation)= due to poor digestion and metabolism, it blocks the respiratory channels -Low Ojas (immunity)= making you sensitive to triggers throughout the year So, Ayurveda treats the root imbalance of Kapha + vata+ama not just the symtpoms

TREATMENT GOALS -remove ama (toxins) from the body -balance kapha and vata dosha -open the blocked channels - nose, lungs, sinuses -strengthen agni(digestive fire) to prevent toxin buildup -improve immunity (Ojas’s) to reduce allergy tendency -rejuvenate lungs and sinuses for long term relief

INTENRAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey twice daily before meals =improves digestion, burns ama, reduces mucus

2) SHITOPALADI + TALISADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily after meals =reduces cough, clear phlegm, sneezing and throat irritation

3) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =immunomodulator, lower IgE , reduces allergy

4)HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk =anti allergic, anti inflammatory, improves skin and nasal immunity

5) MAHATIKTAKA KASHAYA= 15 ml + equal water twice daily before meals =cleanses toxins, reduces inflamamtion, in respiratory channels

6) SWASKUTHAR RAS= 1 tab twice daily after meals =strenghtens lungs, reduces wheezing

7) VASA AVALEHA= 1 tsp twice daily after meals =reduces cough and helps expectoration of mucus

DURATION= 3 months

AFTER 3 MONTHS START -BRAHMA RASYANA= 1 tsp daily after meals =rejuvenates immunity, and energy ,prevents recurrence

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) NASYA= after mild steam, instill 2 drops of Shadbindu taila in each nostril daily =it cleanses sinuses, strengthens nasal membranes , and prevents allergic rhinints

2) STEAM INHALATION= use hot water with a few leaves of tulsi or 1-2 drops of eucalyptus oil twice daily to clear mucus and open airways

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -wake up early do light breathing and stretching -take warm water frequently -keep home dust free use mask in cold/dust -maintain regular bowel movements -ensure 7-8 hrs of sound sleep

DON’TS -avoid day sleep increases kapha -avoid cold drinks, ice creams, curd, and refriegrated foods -avoid sudden exposure to cold air -avoid overeating, heavy oils food -avoid smoking, pollution, strong perfumes

DIET -warm,light, easily digestible meals -green gram old rice barley millets -warm soups, vegetables stews, herbal teas- ginger, tulsi, cinnamon -spices like cumin, turmeric, black pepper, ajwain,dry giger -Fruits= apples, pomegranate, guava (avoid citrus if allergic )

AVOID -cold,sour,and heavy foods- curd, banana, cheese, sweets, bakery -fermented foods and light eating -cold milk- if taking, make it warm and add turmeric

YOGA ASANAS- opens airways ad balances doshas -bhujangasana -dhanurasana -matsyasana -ardha matsyendrasana -setu bandhasana

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= improves nasal flow and oxygenation -bhastrika= clear mucus and improves lung power -bhramari= calms the nervous system and allergic reactivity -kapalbhati= cleanses sinuses

MEDITATION -reduces stress, which indirectly lowers allergic tendency

HOME REMEDIES -TULSI+HONEY + GINGER JUICE= 1 tsp mixture, 2-3 times daily =clears mucus, relieves cough, improves immunity

-TURMERIC MILK= at night= antiallergic, anti inflammatory

-STEAM WITH AJWAIN SEEDS= boil water with ajwain and inhale steam to reduce nasal cogestion

-WARM SALT WATER GARGLE= twice daily for throat mucus and irritation

-HONEY + BLACK PEPPER POWDER= 1/2 tsp daily to soothe throat and reduce sneezing

-Allergy is a long term imbalance, not a short disease- it requires patience ad consistent treatment -Ayurvedic therapy aims to reset your body’d immunity, not just suppress symptoms -Once kapha, vata, ad ama are balanced and digestion improves allergic responses will naturally decrease

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

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

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

Dr. Akshay Negi
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. 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. 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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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

Dr. 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.

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. 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.
