Hello Thank you for reaching out with your concern. Insomnia with restlessness is a very common issue in today’s lifestyle but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

You’ve mentioned that you are taking Nexito Plus (Escitalopram + Clonazepam), which acts as a sedative and anti-anxiety medicine.

Ayurveda offers gentle and natural alternatives that calm the nervous system, induce restful sleep, and gradually reduce dependency on such medicines (always under physician guidance).

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Manasmitra Vatakam – 0-1-2 after lunch take 1 tablet and at bed time take 2 tablet with milk. ( Excellent for anxiety, insomnia, and stress.)

2. Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily with water or milk. ( Improves sleep, memory, and reduces restlessness.)

3. Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water after dinner. ( Calms the mind and improves quality of sleep.)

4. Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp daily with warm milk. at bed time ( Acts as a natural adaptogen and stress reliever.)

✅PANCHAKARMA THERAPIES

If possible, undergo these treatments in an Ayurvedic center:

1. Shiro Abhyanga (Head Massage) with Brahmi Taila– (Relaxes mind and improves sleep quality.)

2. Shirodhara with Jatamansi Taila (Profoundly calms the mind and regulates sleep cycle.)

3. Nasya with Anu Taila (2 drops each nostril) ( Balances Prana Vata and clears mental stress.)

✅EXTERNAL TREATMEMT AT HOME

1. Shiro Abhyanga (Head Massage) with Brahmi Taila– (Relaxes mind and improves sleep quality.)

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE

✅Include

Warm, nourishing meals with ghee, milk, and moong dal. Bedtime drink: warm milk with ¼ tsp Ashwagandha or Nutmeg powder. Soaked almonds, dates, and figs in the morning for strength.

❌Avoid:

Caffeine, alcohol, or late-night meals. Excess screen time and emotional stimulation before bed. Skipping meals or fasting for long periods (increases Vata).

✔️Sleep Hygiene:

Maintain a fixed sleep–wake routine. Take a warm bath or foot massage with sesame oil before bed. Listen to calming instrumental or Vedic chants (like Shanti Mantra).

✅Yogic & Mind-Body Practices

Pranayama: Bhramari, Anulom Vilom for 10–15 mins daily. Yoga Asanas: Shavasana, Balasanabefore bed. Meditation: 10 minutes daily before sleep to quiet the mind.

With consistent Ayurvedic regimen and gentle mind–body practices, you can experience: Noticeable reduction in restlessness within 2–3 weeks

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO,

You are experiencing -severe anxiety -insomnia (difficulty sleeping, restless nights) -on nexito plus

AYURVEDIC VIEW -VATA DOSHA= has become aggravated-> causes restlessness, overthinking, insomnia, nervousness, ringing. in ears -PITTA DOSHA= is also disturbed due to stress-> causing irritability, tension. -Mind and nervous system are not balanced -Sleep is governed by Tarpaka kapha and calm vata. When these are disturbed-> insomnia, fear, anxiety arise

So, your condition is mainly vata-pitta imbalance, with associated rajas (mental hyperactivity) and tamas (disturbed sleep quality)

TREATMENT GOALS -Calm vata-> reduce fear, anxiety, nervousness -pacify pitta-> control stress, irritability -nourish nervous system and mind -improve sleep naturally -strengthen heart and circulation -build resilience-> so symptom dont keep coming back

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) BRAHMI VATI (with gold)= 1 tab morning with milk =improves memory, calms mind, reduces anxiety

2) SARASWATARISHTA= 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner =works as a nerve tonic, improves sleep and speech, reduces stress

3) ASHWAGANDHARISHTA= 15 ml with equal water at night after dinner =strenghtens nerves, reduces stress, helps with sleep

4) MANASMITRA VATAKAM= 1 tab at night with warm milk =potent for severe anxiety, fear, insomina

5) ARJUNARISHTA= 15ml with equal water after lunch =good for heart support

DURATION= minimum 2-3 months,

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) SHIRO ABHYANGA= head massage with chandanadi taila daily before bed

2) PADABHYANGA = oil massage of feet with ghee, very calming, promotes sleep

3) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning =strenghtens nerves , reduces anxiety

LIFESTYLE CHANGES ROUTINE= fixed sleep wake time, eat meals on time, avoid late nights

AVOID STIMULANTS= tea, coffee, alcohol, smoking

SCREEN DETOX= no phone/TV at least 1 hour before sleep

SOCIALIZING= start with gentle eposure- spend time with supportive family/friends

STRESS REDUCTION= write down worries before bed-> helps clear mind

YOGA ASANAS -Shavasana= for deep relaxation -Balasana -Viparita karani -vajrasana after meals = helps digestion and calms mind

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances mind -Bhramari= especially good for tinnitus and anxiety -Sheerali/sheetkari= to cool down pitta

MEDITATION -10 minutes of mantra chanting (Om or So-ham) daily

DIET -warm, soft, freshly cooked food -khichdi, mung dal soups, oats with milk, ghee -sweet fruits banana, papaya, grapes -cow’s ghee in moderation -milk with nutmeg or turmeric at night for sleep

AVOID -cold, dry, stale foods -excess spicy, sour, fired foods -tea, coffee, aerated drinks -heavy meals late at night

HOME REMEDIES -Nutmeg powder= 1 pinch with warm milk at night -Triphala= 1 tsp with warm water at night if constipation -Warm water bath with a few drops of lavender oil before bed

-Your condition is treatable with proper Ayurvedic support. Anxiety and sleeplessness are natural consequences of vata-pitta imbalance, not a sign of weakness. with combination of internal , external therapies , calming lifestyle , diet correction, yoga, and stress management you can gradually restore balance

kidly never abruptly stop Nexito plus along with that start ayurveda then taper under superivision

BE PATIENT= results come steadily not overnight but within 4-6 weeks most people see good improvement and within 3-6 months a lasting balance can be achieved

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

For managing anxiety and stress through Ayurveda, there are several focused approaches you can take. However, always consult your healthcare provider before stopping any prescribed medication.

Begin with assessing your primary doshas and any possible imbalances. Anxiety can often be related to vata dosha aggravation due to its qualities of mobility and change. You’ll find grounding and soothing practices may help. Ashwagandha, a well-known adaptogenic herb, is frequently recommended in Ayurveda for its calming effects. You might consider consuming 500-600 mg of standardized Ashwagandha extract twice a day after meals.

Brahmi is another herb traditionally used to enhance cognitive function and reduce anxiety symptoms. A dosage of 250 mg of Brahmi extract each morning and evening might be effective. Taking these herbs with warm milk can further enhance their calming qualities as it balances vata.

Diet also plays a crucial role. Focus on warm, cooked foods with lots of grounding spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric. Avoid raw foods as they can increase vata. Regular meals, emphasizing grains like basmati rice and oats, are preferred. Dairy products, especially warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or saffron, are soothing.

Daily routine is vitally important. Engage in a consistent, gentle exercise like yoga or tai chi to keep stress hormones balanced. Abhyanga, or self-massage with sesame or almond oil, can provide relaxation.

Pranayama (breathing exercises) like Anulom Vilom or Nadi Shodhana help in calming the mind. Spend 10-15 minutes daily practicing these techniques.

Finally, consider a consultation with an ayurvedic physician who can provide a personalized treatment plan, taking into account your specific prakriti and any allergies or sensitivities. The right approach to balance your life and health is detailed and holistic, and professional guidance can be invaluable.

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. 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. 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. 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. Apeksha Saxena
I am working as an Ayurvedic physician with a focus on practical, grounded care—I try to keep things as close to real-life healing as possible, not just theory. Most of the time, I deal with digestive issues, joint pains, hormonal shifts, lifestyle diseases—the kinds of problems that don’t just go away with one pill or one session. I look at the person’s prakriti first, what’s out of balance, where digestion’s breaking down or emotions are stuck, and then start building the treatment around that. Nothing cookie-cutter. My usual method blends classical Panchakarma therapies, simple diet fixes, some herbal meds, maybe routines that match the patient's nature—not always fancy, but it works. I'm not rigid with classical-only, though. If there's a modern wellness tool that fits the Ayurvedic logic, I don't mind adding it in. What matters is the *result*, right? I’ve done quite a bit of online consults too lately—guiding people remotely who didn’t know much about Ayurveda, and still managing to help them get their heads around what’s going wrong in their body. That’s honestly satisfying. Not everyone needs deep detox—sometimes just understanding their agni or daily habits does half the job. And yeah, I try to keep things clear, not preachy. I tend to go deep into patient stories. Not just the chart stuff—how they *feel* stuck or tired or anxious without knowing why. That part matters. Being able to connect and just listen without rushing, I guess that’s my nature. Ayurveda’s something I’m still growing with. I like to keep learning, not just from books but also from how real ppl respond to the treatments. It’s weird, but every case teaches me something new, makes me rethink my approach a bit. My goal’s simple: make Ayurveda easier to understand, and actually helpful for ppl who’re tired of masking symptoms and want long-term fix.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
