Struggling with Digestive Issues and Weight Loss - #38628

Client_1e588c

Good day! Since more than a year I am having digestive problems. They started after a very stressful period, and still continue while I live with anger and frustration every day. I have always in my life been eating a lot of sugar, baked food, heavy food. My problems started with feeling a nod in the throat, bitterness, white coating and red areas on the tongue, sometimes strong nausea. Afterwards even started oily stool and finally I got an intestinal inflammation for a period of 3 months. I lost a lot of weight. After a diet with no sugar, no gluten, no milk the intestine improved but to gain weight I was trying to eat more healthy fats, like nuts, avocados, olive oil, and not so healthy foods like croissants, coffee, and to eat more frequently, so I was getting again the bitterness in the mouth and diarrhoea sometimes. Finally now I have a very slow digestion,feel a nod in the throat and soon after starting to eat I feel full. Still keep loosing weight. If you have an idea, what could help me, I would so much appreciate. My constitution is Vata, I’m tall, blonde,skinny, blue eyes, fair skin. I get angry often, feel insecure and shy.

How long have you been experiencing these digestive problems?:

- More than 1 year

What triggers your symptoms the most?:

- Stress and anger

How would you describe your appetite?:

- Good, but I get full quickly

Hello Thank you for sharing your detailed history. I can understand how challenging it must be to face such prolonged digestive disturbances along with emotional stress and unwanted weight loss. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅SHODHANA (Detoxification / Cleansing)

A mild cleansing helps remove accumulated Ama and restore healthy digestion:

Mridu Virechana (Gentle Purgation) once under supervision — to clear excessive Pitta from the liver and intestines.

Followed by Deepana-Pachana Chikitsa for 3–4 weeks to restore normal Agni.

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Agnitundi Vati 1 tab twice daily before food (Enhances digestion, relieves fullness)

2 Avipattikara Churna ½ tsp with warm water at bedtime (Pacifies excess Pitta, relieves acidity)

3 Dadimadi Ghrita 1 tsp twice daily with warm water Morning empty stomach (Nourishes tissues, relieves Vata, supports weight gain)

4 Kutajarishta + Draksharishta 15 ml each with equal water after food (Improves digestion and bowel tone)

5 Chitrakadi Vati 1 tab twice daily after food (Stimulates sluggish digestion)

6 Ashwagandha Lehyam 1 tsp morning and night (Rasayana for nourishment, restores strength)

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅Include:

Warm, freshly cooked, lightly spiced food — moong dal khichdi, vegetable soups, rice gruel (peya), ghee, cumin-coriander tea A2 cow ghee, dates, amla, pomegranate, ash gourd juice for nourishment Small, frequent meals — eat slowly and avoid overeating Jeera water or Triphala decoction after meals for gentle detox

❌Avoid

Cold, stale, dry foods, raw salads Coffee, refined sugar, bakery items, heavy fried food Gluten and dairy until digestion stabilizes Anger, stress, and late-night meals (increase Pitta-Vata)

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Maintain fixed meal and sleep timings

Gentle Abhyanga (self-massage) daily with Ksheerabala Taila — reduces Vata and supports digestion

Avoid fasting or skipping meals

Practice Bhramari, Nadi Shodhana, and Sheetali Pranayama for calming the mind and balancing Pitta

Evening walk after food aids digestion and prevents heaviness

Since your problem started after emotional stress, integrating Manasika Chikitsa (mental healing) is essential-

Engage in meditation, journaling, or calming hobbies Try Brahmi Vati (1 tab at bedtime) for mood balance and better sleep Surround yourself with grounding influences — soothing music, nature walks, and supportive routine

Wishing you a good health😊

With Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO,

You are describing -difficulty digesting food -feeling full very quicky -bloating and slow digestion -bitterness in the mouth, nausea -oily stools or loose motions at times -weight loss despite trying to eat healthy -stress, anger, frustration and anxiety

In Ayurveda , these symptoms indicate that your digestive fire has become weak and irregular, and two energies- vata and pitta- are disturbed

WHAT’S HAPEENING INSIDE -Vata dosha (the energy of movement) controls the gut’s motion. when stressed or anxious, vata becomes irregular- causing gas, fullness, and quick satiety -Pitta dosha (the energy of digestion and heat) increases from anger and frustration, leading to acidity, bitter taste, inflammation, and intestinal irritation -Agni (digestive fire) becomes low and erratic- sometimes too strong (causing acidity) and sometimes too weak (causing slow digestion). -Ama (toxins) forms from undigested food, which coats the gut lining, causes the white tongue, foul taste, bloating, and loss of nutrient absorption

As a result, even though you eat, your body cannot digest and absorb nutrients properly, leading to weight loss and fatigue

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify vata and Pitta dosha- to calm the gut and nervous system -improve digestive powder- to digest and absorb food properly -remove ama (toxins)- to clear blockages and inflammation -nourish body tissues - to regain weight and strength -stabilize the mind and emotions- to reduce stress and anger that trigger your symptoms

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1)TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp with honey before meals for 3 weeks =stimulates weak digestion, removes mucus, increases agni

2) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals for 2 months = reduces acidity, bitterness and pitta heat in gut

3) KUTAJRARISHTA= 1 tsp after meals with warm water for 1 month =strenghtens intestines and stops loose motions

4) SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for 3 months =rebuilds strength, calms stress, improves weight

5) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months = anti-inflammatory, cleans toxins, supports immunity

6) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at bedtime =calms mind, reduces anger and anxiety

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= with ksheerbala taila daily =calms vata, improves circulation, reduces anxeity

2) STEAM THERAPY= mild steam over whole body after oil massage =opens pores, removes toxins

3) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila In each nostril daily morning =relieves stress, improves appetite and sleep

DIET -always eat warm, freshly cooked, light meals -avoid cold, raw, dry processed, and heavy foods -avoid coffee, sugar, refined flour, fried foods, and sour foods -eat small portions, 3-4 times/day -sit quietly and chew slowly, avoid eating when angry or rushed

RECOMMENDED FOODS -GRAINS= white rice, oats, quinoa, moong dal, khichdi -VEGETABLES= well cooked carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, spinach, beetroot -FATS = small amounts of ghee or sesame oil not excessive -FRUITS= stewed apple, banana, ripe mango, papaya, dates -SPICES= cumin, coriander, fennel , cardamom, turmeric mild and cooked -BEVERAGES= warm water, ginger tea, cumin-fennel-coriander tea

AVOID -raw salads, cold milk, yogurt at night, cheese, coffee, carbonated drinks , spicy food and alcohol

LIFESTYLE AND DAILY ROUTINE -SLEEP= go to bed by 10 pm, wake by 6 am, proper sleep repairs tissues -ROUTINE= eat meals at the same time daily to stabilize digestive fire -EXERCISE= gentle walks, light yoga- avoid intense workouts during weakness -OIL MASSAGE= daily before bath -EMOTIONAL CARE= journaling, calming music, self reflection, gratitude practice -AVOID= working late, excessive talking, overthinking, skipping meals, cold exposure

YOGA ASANAS -pawamuktasana = relieves gas -balasana= relaxes abdomen -marjari-bitilasana= improves digestion -bhujngasnaa= strengthens abdominal organs -vajrasana= improves digestion sit after meals for 5-10 min

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= Balances Vata-pitta -Bhramari= calms anger and anxiety -Sheetali/sheetkari= cools excess pitta

HOME REMEDIES -Cumin-fennel-coriander tea= sip warm through the day -Ginger infusion= 3 slices of fresh ginger boiled in water with a pinch of rock salt- before meals -Aloe vera juice 1 tbsp in morning= soothes gut inflammation -buttermilk with roasted cumin after lunch only if no loose motios -soaked raisins in morning- mild laxative and nourishing

Your condition is a functional gut disturbance triggered by stress and emotional strain, aggravated by wrong diet and irregular habits. Ayurveda teaches that the gut and mind are deeply connected. Healing happens when you restore balance- not just through food and medicine but through calmness, patience and routine

When the mind is calm, digestio becomes peaceful

BE gentle with yourself Eat simple, live calmly, and give your body time- recovery from such a chronic imbalance may take 3-4 months but the improvement will be lasting

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

What you have mentioned is a very classical example of a deep digestive fire imbalance that started from emotional stress and later become a physical digestive disorder In Ayurveda, the mind and gut or one continuous channel, emotional heat, like anger, and frustration directly, agrees, pitta while prolonged anxiety and insecurity weaken vata leading to irregular digestion, loss of appetite and weight loss. When both these forces are disturbed together, symptom like better, taste, nausea, white coating, loose tools and digestion become persistent

Initially, your active intake of sugar baked and fried food and coffee would have created ama (toxic undigested residue) and acid in the gut Stress further tighten the digestive channel, slowing down metabolism when you sweet to restrictive diet the inflammation calmed temporary, but your digestive fire remain week. Then when you introduced fats and foods, your body was not ready to digest them, so they started producing gas, bitterness and incomplete digestion again This is why even even healthy fats like nuts and our order feels heavy now because you’re Agni is not strong enough to process them The sensation of a note in the throat in Ayurveda is often due to udana vata and pitta moving apart. It happens when digestive heat rises instead of grounding down of an aggravated by emotions held in the chest. Annex expressed anger, fear, and expressed anxiety. You have also mentioned that you get angry, often feel shy or insecure. This emotional turbulence is continuously disturbing the gut brain access. So the first step is not only to treat digestion, but also to specify your mind and nervous system.

Start your morning with a small cup of warm water infused with a few drops of lemon and pinch of salt. Avoid cold water entirely before each meal. Take a small piece of fresh ginger with a few drops of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Abbe digestive fire naturally

After meals, take 1/4 teaspoon of trikatu churna with honey once daily, avoid if your tools are burning or lose If there is burning or acidity, then take Avipattikara churna half teaspoon with water before meals Take hingwastaka churna half teaspoon with warm water after food Drink, cumin, final, coriander tea daily Every evening, practice, gentle breathing Once your stools are regularl and digestion feels settled start slowly reintroducing light nourishing foods Mung dal Khichdi apples almond milk warm rice gruel with ghee and cooked vegetables Avoid dry raw heavy oily foods Even nuts and avocados should be introduced slowly For anger and frustration practice pranayama meditation regularly Start on Take ashwagandha capsule 1-0-1 Shankapuspi churna 1/2 tsp with warm water Avoid coffee tea chocolate sour fruits fermented foods deep fried items bakery foods raw salads excess dry nuts Over the next few weeks your goal is to restore calmness to your digestion not to push for weight gain immediately Once your Agni stabilise nourishment will naturally begin Healing from such chronic digestive burnout takes patience but with a grounded routine and consistent ayurvedic support your energy appetite and emotional stability will return

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. Raj Kalariya
I am Dr. Raj Kalariya, an Ayurvedic Doctor who believes real healing doesn’t come from quick fixes but from understanding how the body, mind & nature actually work together. I studied Ayurveda deeply — not just the texts but the meaning behind them — and over time I’ve come to see how ancient principles can still guide modern health care in powerful ways. Sometimes I mix a bit of modern medical insight too, because honestly, balance is what matters most. My focus is on helping people restore health naturally — through personalized Ayurvedic treatment, herbal formulations, diet correction, and daily lifestyle routines (Dinacharya) that actually fit into real life, not some ideal version of it. I look at root causes, not just the outward simptoms, because each person’s constitution (Prakriti) is unique. And that’s the thing I love most about Ayurveda — no two people are the same, even with the same illness. Sometimes patients come to me after trying many things, and I always remind them healing can be slow, it needs patience. Ayurveda isn’t about suppressing; it’s about aligning. I use classical diagnostic methods like Nadi Pariksha and detailed case observation to understand what’s going on beneath the surface. Then I design a plan that blends herbs, diet, detoxification (Panchakarma if needed), and daily mindfulness — a full, wholistic path toward better health. I’ve worked with cases ranging from chronic digestive problems and stress-related disorders to preventive care for immunity and vitality. I believe prevention is the real medicine — if you know how to live right according to your Dosha, half the diseases never start. Sometimes it feels like people forgot how natural healing can be, and that’s what I try to bring back, a bit at a time. If you’re looking for a natural, thoughtful, and honest approach to health — not just a prescription — then that’s what I try to offer everyday. (Sorry, maybe I wrote too long here!) But yes, Ayurveda isn’t just my work, it’s my way of seeing life, even when things don’t go perfectlly.

Your symptoms and experiences suggest a complex interplay of aggravated Pitta and Vata doshas. The stress, anger, and dietary habits contribute to this imbalance, impacting your agni, or digestive fire. Let’s address these issues with a balanced approach, keeping your Vata constitution in mind.

Given the history of stress, it’s crucial to manage mental stress alongside correcting diet. Practice daily relaxation techniques like pranayama or meditation for at least 15-20 minutes, as they can help calm your mind and balance Vata.

For digestion, focus on rekindling agni. Ginger tea, taken 15 minutes before meals, can stimulate digestion. Boil a small piece of fresh ginger in a cup of water, add a squeeze of lemon, and sip slowly. Avoid cold beverages; they can further slow down digestion. Instead, consume warm water throughout the day to assist your body’s metabolism.

Introduce light, easy-to-digest meals. Kitchari, a mixture of rice and mung dal (split mung beans), cooked with spices like cumin and turmeric, is nurturing yet gentle on the stomach. Eating smaller, more frequent meals will prevent overwhelming your digestive system.

Given your Vata constitution and current needs, emphasize grounding and nourishing foods. Root vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes, lightly cooked with warming spices like cinnamon and cumin, can stabilize Vata. For healthy weight gain, shift from heavy, greasy foods and focus on safe fats: ghee, almond butter, and cooked avocados are good options. Consume these in moderation.

Crucially, address your tendency toward anger and frustration, which points to aggravated Pitta. Incorporate daily routines that pacify both Pitta and Vata — avoid late meals and maintain regular sleep patterns. Also, consider priorities like yoga’s calming poses that help in grounding Vata and cooling Pitta.

Be cautious with stimulants like coffee; they can aggravate Pitta, and replace them with herbal teas like chamomile or fennel known for cooling and calming. This will help manage the bitter taste and prevent further weight loss.

If symptoms persist or worsen, consider visiting a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider. They can provide customized treatments like Panchakarma, which may be necessary for detoxifying and balancing your doshas.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

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

Dr. 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. 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.
