Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
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.

1. Nisha Amalaki Churna 1 tsp twice daily with water 2.Diabecon Ds 2 tab twice daily with water 30 min before meals

Lifestyle & Diet Tips - Post-gallbladder diet: Avoid heavy fats, fried food, and dairy. Favor steamed vegetables, rice, moong dal, and bitter greens. - Meal timing: Eat early dinners, avoid snacking late. - Gentle movement: Try 15–20 minutes of walking after meals or chair yoga. - Spices to favor: Turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, and coriander.

What to Avoid - Harsh purgatives like Rheum emodi or Chitrakadi Vati (can aggravate Vata and weaken digestion). - Raw salads, cold drinks, and processed sugar. - Overuse of bitter herbs without nourishment—balance is key.

Hello I understand your concern — after gallbladder removal and with existing thyroid issues, managing blood sugar carefully becomes even more important. But don’t worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF MANAGEMENT

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Nisha Amalaki Churna – ½ tsp twice daily before food with warm water (This helps lower blood sugar and enhance insulin sensitivity.)

2. Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after food (Balances thyroid, improves urinary clearance, and regulates metabolism.)

3. Triphala Guggulu – 2 tablets at bedtime with warm water (Supports fat metabolism, clears Ama, and prevents insulin resistance.)

4. Giloy (Guduchi) Ghana Vati – 1 tablet twice daily (Immunity booster and powerful rejuvenator for liver and pancreas.)

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include:

Warm water with lemon + 1 tsp methi seeds soaked overnight. Whole grains (millets, barley, red rice). Vegetables: bitter gourd, bottle gourd, drumstick, spinach. Spices: turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, cumin. 1 tsp of cow ghee daily — improves metabolism and digestion.

❌ Avoid:

Refined sugar, bakery foods, deep-fried foods. Cold milk, banana, and curd at night. Long fasting — prefer small frequent meals.

✅LIFESTYLE AND EXERCISE

Morning walk (30 min daily) — even slow walking helps insulin sensitivity.

Yoga: Practice Surya Namaskar, Ardha Matsyendrasana, Pawanmuktasana, and Dhanurasana.

Pranayama: Bhastrika and Anulom Vilom — 5 mins each morning to balance metabolism and thyroid function.

Sleep early, wake up early, and maintain regular meal timings.

Note:

Since you’ve had recent gallbladder removal, avoid strong detox or heavy oils for now. Focus on gentle herbal support and light, easily digestible food.

With regular Ayurvedic care, lifestyle correction, and gentle exercise, you can maintain healthy blood sugar and prevent further complications.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

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.

HELLO,

In type 2 diabetes, your body still makes insulin, but your cells stop responding properly to it. This is called insulin resistance. Because of that, sugar from your food stays in your blood instead of going into your cells for energy.

Gradually, your pancreas gets tired ad produces less insulin, causing your blood sugar to rise even more.

In Ayurveda,diabetes is seen as “Madhumeha”, one of the 20 types of prameha- disorders related to metabolism and urinary system.

It occurs mainly due to -Kapha imbalance too much heaviness, sluggishness, mucus formation -Medo Dhatus dushti fat tissue dysfunction -agni mandya=weak digestive fire -ama formation- toxic waste due to improper digestion -vata aggravatio in advanced stages causing excessive urination ad weakness

TREATMENT GOALS -balance kapha and meda- to remove the root cause -kindle agni (digestive fire)- to improve digestion and metabolism -remove ama (toxins)- to clear channels and restore insulin sensitivity -rejuvenate tissue especially pancreas, liver -support mental and emotional health- because stress raises blood sugar - avoid complications

INVESTIGATIONS TO RULE OUT -Fasting blood sugar weekly -Postprandial 2 hrs after meals weekly -HbA1c every 3 months -Lipid profile -LFT, KFT -Urine routine and microalbumin -Eye and food check

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) NISHA AMALAKI CHURNA TABLET= 500mg twice daily after meals =improves insulin sensitivty, antioxidant, reduce inflammation

2) GUDMAR CAPSULES= 500mg once daily in morning =reduces sugar absorption, regenerate beta cells

3) VIJAYSAR= soak 1 piece in water overnight, drink that water in morning =natural hypoglycaemic, detoxifies blood

4) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =balances kapha, improves urianry function

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =detox, improves digestion, and liver function

6) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily =improves liver function and metabolism

duration= 3 months

DIET PLAN GRAINS= barley, millets, bajra, jowar, ragi, red rice in moderation PULSES= green gram, masoor dal, horse gram VEGETABLES= bitter gourd, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, drumstick, methi leaves, spinach, cabbage, cucumber FRUITS= amla, guava, papaya, pomegranate SPICES= turmeric, fenugreek, cinnamon, black pepper, cumin, mustard HEALTHY FATS= small amounts of cow ghee or sesame oil DRINKS= warm water, methi water, turmeric tea, guduchi decoction

AVOID STRICTLY -sugar, sweets, jaggery, honey -white rice, refined flour, maida, bread, bakery foods -fried or oily foods, cheese, butter, red meat -cold drinks, alcohol, and smoking -curd at night, or heavy dairy products

YOGA ASANAS -suryanamaskar= improves metabolism, burns fat -ardha matsyendrasana= massages pancreas -dhanurasana= strengthens pancreas -pawanmuktasana = helps digestion - vajrasana= sit in this pose for 10 mins after meals

PRANAYAM -Kapalbhati= 3 rounds of 30 strokes. stimulates pancreas -anulom vilom= 5-10 min for balance and calm -bhastrika= 1-2 min to activate metabolism - bhramari= 5 rounds for stress reduction

HOME REMEDIES -Methi seed water= soak 1 tsp overnight, drink in morning -amla juice + turmeric= 20 ml + pinch of turmeric on empty stomach -bitter gourd juice= 30 ml fresh juice in morning 3-4 times/week - cinnamon powder= 1/2 tsp in warm water daily

LIFESTYLE GUIDELINES -wake up early before sunrise -walk 30-40 min daily -do not sleep in daytime -eat at regular times, avoid overeating -maintain emotional balance- avoid stress and anger -go to bed early before 10 pm for hormone balance -stay socially active and positive- emotional well being is vital

DURATION OF TREATMENT -INITIAL STABILIZATION= 1-2 month blood sugar reduction -METABOLIC CORRECTION= 3-6 months weight, digestion, energy improve -MAINTENANCE/ REJUVENATION= 6-12 months

DIABETES REVERSAL DEPENDS ON -duration of disease (earlier=easier) -weight and lifestyle -consistency in following regimen

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Lowering blood sugar and enhancing insulin sensitivity can be managed through an integration of Ayurvedic principles, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes. Given your recent gall bladder surgery and underlying thyroid condition, tailored recommendations are essential.

First thing to focus on is diet. Incorporate foods that help in balancing your doshas and manage blood sugar levels efficiently. Include whole grains like barley and quinoa—easy-to-digest and won’t spike sugar levels. Opt for plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and broccoli that naturally enhance insulin sensitivity. Bitter gourds (karela) are known in Ayurveda for their sugar-lowering properties, though start with small amounts because of digestive considerations post-surgery. Avoid processed foods, refined sugars, and excessive carbohydrates which add stress to your system.

Herbs play a crucial role too. Fenugreek seeds soaked overnight in water and consumed in the morning can be beneficial in lowering blood sugar. Turmeric, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, aids in general metabolic balance; however, with considerations for the thyroid, use it mindfully and consult with a local practitioner. Neem leaves can moderate sugar levels—consider its juice if digestible post-surgery.

Physical activity is next. Find gentle exercises that suit your current energy and capability; yoga or light walking can be integrated slowly without exerting too much pressure. Since regularity is key, aim for consistency rather than duration initially. Pranayama, particularly ‘Kapalbhati’, can aid digestive fire or agni, indirectly supporting metabolic functions.

With thyroid cancer and recent surgery, regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are vital to ensure the recommendations harmonize with your conventional treatments. Always prioritize safety and consult with a practitioner before introducing new therapies especially in context of your current medical events.

To address your concerns about lowering blood sugar and improving insulin sensitivity, several Siddha-Ayurvedic practices can be beneficial. Given your recent gallbladder removal and thyroid cancer, it’s important to be cautious and watchful.

First, a focus on diet is vital. Favor foods that are light, easily digestible, and low on the glycemic index. Incorporate more vegetables like bitter gourd (karela), leafy greens, and beans that help in balancing blood sugar levels. Reduce intake of heavy, oily, and fried foods. Instead, opt for cooked over raw foods as they are easier on the digestive system post-surgery.

Incorporating certain spices can also provide benefits—try adding a pinch of turmeric, cinnamon, and fenugreek seeds to your meals. These spices have properties known to aid in glucose metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity. Fenugreek seeds can be soaked overnight and consumed on an empty stomach in the morning to assist with this.

Given your thyroid condition, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare professional before adding any herbal supplements, as interactions are possible. As for lifestyle, gentle exercise like walking or yoga can gradually be incorporated into daily routine, focusing on moderate, regular movement to enhance circulation and stimulate the digestive agni (fire).

In your case, it’s crucial to have a thorough consultation with your healthcare provider to tailor these recommendations to your precise condition. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels and ongoing communication with your healthcare team will ensure you stay on the right track. Adjustments may be necessary as your body’s response to these changes unfolds.

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

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. 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. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. 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. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

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

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Dr. 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.
