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.

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

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

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

Dr. 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.

I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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.
