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

HELLO,

Your eyes have short sightedness meaning -distant objects appear blurry, while near vision is clear -the eyeball is slightly elongated, or the cornea/lens curvature causes light to focus in front of the retina instead of on it -Cylindrical powder means there’s astigmatism i.e= uneven corneal curvature causing distorted or blurred vision

In Ayurveda, vision is controlled by Alochaka pitta, a subtype of Pitta dosha located in the eyes When alochaka pitta is disturbed due to -excess screen use, late nights -poor eye hygiene -lack of nutrition -mentalstrain or emotional stress …It leads to visual disturbance, corresponding to conditions like myopia or astigmatism

Also, vata imbalance can cause dryness and weakness In the ocular nerves and kapha can cause heaviness or dullness in vision

TREATMENT GOALS -stabilize and strengthen the optic nerves and eye muscles -balace alochaka pitta, maintain ocular metabolism -prevent further progression of short sightedness -improve general vitality and metabolism

INTERNAL TREATMENT

1) TRIPHALA GHRITA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk for 3 months =nourishes eye tissues, balances pitta, acts as rasayana for eyes

2) SAPTAMRIT LAUHA= 250mg twice daily after meals with ghee for 3 months = improves vision, strengthens ocular nerves , reduces strain

3) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily in morning for 3 months = rich in natural vitamin c, rejuvenate optic tissues

4) PUNARNAVA MADUR= 1 tb twice daily after meals for 3 months =improves circulation, helps in reducing puffiness and kapha imbalance

5) YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp twice daily with milk for 2 months =calms pitta, supports eye and nerve health

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) NETRA TRAPANA -medicated ghee usually mahatriphala ghrita is retained over the eyes in a dough ring for 15-20 min -DURATION= 7-14 days course =deep nourishment of optic nerves, reduction in dryness, improved clarity

2) NASAYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily after face steamig =nourishes sensory organ, improves oxygenation to brain and eyes

3) EYE DROPS= triphala Akshaya or yahstimadu drops can be used once daily =relieves redness, strain and dryness

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -maintain regular sleep sleep by 10 pm, wake yp by 6 am -take short breaks during screen work (20-20-20 rule = every 20 min, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds) -avoid rubbing eyes -wash eyes with cool not cold water 2-3 times a day

AVOID -late night screen time or reading in dimlight -dry, spicy, and fermented foods -continuous air conditioning exposure causes dryness

DIET -ghee nourishes optic nerves -amla daily either raw or as juice -carrots, beetroot, spinach, moringa leaves rich in vitamin A and antioxidants -Milk= warm cows milk at night supports tissue repair, it does not cause weight Gain if taken in moderation and without adding sugar -Almods soaked and peeled , 5 daily= improve nerve strength -Black raisins, dates= natural iron and energy sources

AVOID -excess tea, coffee, spicy and oily foods -junk food, fried snacks, and cold carbonated drinks

YOGA AND PRANAYAM

FOR EYES -palming= rubs palms and cover closed eyes for 1-2 min -trataka = steady gazing at a candle flame or a black dot to improve focus -Blinking exercise= 10-15 rapid blinks followed by closing eyes

FOR MIND BODY BALANCE -Anulom vilom -bhramari -surya namaskar

HOME REMEDIES -Triphala eye wash= reduces strain and clear toxins -Amla juice= 20-30 ml fresh amla juice in moring on empty stomach -Cucumber slices or rose water soaked cotton pads= place on closed eyes for 10 min daily to soothe and relax eyes

If you are concerned about gaining weight with milk -use low fat milk and consume it warm, unsweetened possibly with a pinch of turmeric or cardamom -suppot digestion with light dinners and mild exercise- brisk walking, surya namaskar

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

When both spherical and cylindrical power are present. It means there is a combination of myopia and astigmatism which affects both clarity and focus in Ayurveda. Such conditions are seen as imbalances in pitta and vata Dosha affecting the optic nurse and tissues of the eyes, though complete reversal of spectacle power is not always guaranteed regular Ayurvedic practiceseye exercises like trataka Netra prakshalana can help in significant improvement or stabilisation especially if the Vision number has not been increasing rapidly and there is no structural retinal change by combining internal medicines, external eye therapy and lifestyle collection. Many people experience 25 to 60% improvement in clarity and comfort. Meanwhile you can start on Mahatriphaladi gritha 1 teaspoon with warm water at morning Saptamritha lauh one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Amlaki rasayana 1 teaspoon with warm water at morning Badam rogan one dropper to each nostril Do eye exercises like trataka

Hello I completely understand your concern — weak eyesight and worry about weight gain with milk are both common questions. But don’t worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water. (Detoxifies the eyes, improves vision, and clears subtle channels.)

2. Saptamrita Lauha – 1 tablet twice daily after food with honey and ghee. ( Excellent for myopia, strengthens optic nerves, and reduces eye strain.)

3. Yashtimadhu Churna (Licorice powder) – ¼ tsp with warm milk in the morning. ( Enhances Pitta balance and nourishes the eye tissues.)

4. Draksharishta – 10 ml twice daily after meals. ( Improves overall eye strength and acts as an antioxidant tonic.)

✅LOCAL EYE CARE

1. Netra Tarpana – Specialized Ayurvedic eye therapy where medicated ghee like Mahatriphala Ghrita is pooled around the eyes. ( Deeply nourishes optic tissues, relaxes eye muscles, and gradually improves vision) . ( To be done in nearby panchakarma therapy center for 7 days)

2. Regular Eye Wash – Use Triphala decoction (lukewarm) for gentle eye wash daily once before sleep. It clears toxins and relieves burning, itching, or dryness.

✅DIET & LIFESTYLE FOR EYE HEALTH

✅Include:

Ghee (1–2 tsp daily) – lubricates and strengthens eye tissues. Fresh Amla juice, carrot, beetroot, and spinach daily. Almonds soaked overnight (5–6), raisins, dates, and cow’s milk in moderation. Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or a few drops of ghee at night supports nourishment, not fat gain, when your digestion is good.

👉 You will not gain excess weight if you take small quantity (½–1 cup) of warm milk at night with light dinner.

❌Avoid: Excess screen exposure and late-night work. Junk, fried, and sour foods that vitiate Pitta. Sleeping immediately after heavy meals.

✅DAILY ROUTINE & YOGA FOR EYES

Eye Exercises:

Palming: Rubbing palms and gently covering eyes for 1–2 minutes. Trataka: Focusing on a candle flame to enhance focus and optic nerve tone. Eye rotations: Circular movements of eyes to relax ocular muscles.

Regular morning sunlight exposure (mild) and walking in greenery also help rejuvenate vision naturally.

✅ABOUT WEIGHT MANAGEMENT AND MILK

Warm milk taken at night is not fattening when: You drink it in moderate quantity (½–1 cup). You avoid adding sugar or heavy dry fruits. You maintain good physical activity during the day.

Instead, it helps nourish Ojas (vital energy), calms the mind, and promotes sound sleep. If you’re prone to weight gain, you can add a pinch of turmeric or cinnamon to balance Kapha.

With regular Ayurvedic care, healthy diet, and patience, you can enjoy clearer vision and balanced body weight naturally.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

Ayurveda aims to improve overall health by addressing imbalances in the body. For your eyesight, Ayurveda doesn’t promise a quantified reduction in spherical or cylindrical errors, but it does offer strategies that may contribute to overall eye health. Start with a routine of eye exercises like palming, eye rotation, and focus shifting to relax the eyes. Include Triphala in your diet - a powerful blend of three fruits which supports eye health. Take it internally, like 1 teaspoon mixed in a glass of warm water before bed, it might promote detoxification. You can also wash your eyes gently with Triphala-infused water in the mornings, however avoid harsh rubbbing.

Follow a diet balanced with your individual dosha, focusing on foods that nourish the eyes. Prominent ones include carrots, spinach, and berries. Ghee squinted on steamed veggies or in warm milk can be beneficial for eye care. A balanced aahar is crucial; not just for eyes but also to maintain a healthy and consistent weight profile.

Regarding your concern about weight gain, consuming warm milk at night can be part of a healthy lifestyle, but moderation is key. Milk nourishes, promoting good sleep, which is pivotal for bodily repair. It doesn’t necessarily lead directly to weight gain; rather the body’s metabolic state, and daily activity levels play a bigger role. Use warm milk mixed with a pinch of turmeric or a tsp. of ashwagandha to slow down unnecessary cravings.

Consistency in practice and patience are essential in Ayurveda. Changes won’t happen overnight; visible signs of improvement in eye health may take time and varies individually — several weeks to months depending on the disciple. Remember, consult eye and health care professionals alongside Ayurvedic practices to ensure a well-rounded approach to both your vision and weight.

I am a doctor who completed CCH and CGO from Wadia hospital, and that training gave me exposure not just in theory but also in handling patients with very diverse needs. Over time I have treated many cases of chronic skin conditions, gut related disorders and also anorectal issues like piles, fissure and similar complaints. Each case felt different, no two patients respond the same way, and I learnt how to adapt treatment according to prakriti, diet habits, stress levels. Skin problems always catch attention first — psoriasis, eczema, acne that stays for years — but I understood that they often start from inside, from digestion or blood impurities. Gut issues like acidity, constipation, IBS are also common in my practice, and here small corrections in food timing or herbs can change a lot. Anorectal cases, especially piles and fissure, are painful both physically and mentally for patients, so I try to bring a treatment plan that is safe, non-invasive when possible, and focused on long term relief not just temporary fixes. Working with such variety of disorders also taught me patience. Some patients want fast results, but Ayurveda needs time to clean the root cause. I explain them carefully, sometimes repeating many times, that slow healing is stronger healing. Building that trust is important. My approach is always to combine herbal formulations, diet advice, and lifestyle correction with procedures when required, to ensure balance is restored and maintained. For me, Ayurveda is not a set of ready remedies but a flexible science that adapts to each person. Whether it’s skin, gut or anorectal problems, my focus stays on listening, understanding and guiding patients with clarity, honesty and steady support.

I am a pediatrician working in Ayurveda since the last 8+ yrs. I did my masters in Kaumarbhritya (Ayurvedic pediatrics & neonatology) from MUHS Nasik, and honestly, that whole phase of study made me look at child health in a very diff way. I mean, kids are not just smaller adults... their agni, doshas, immunity (ojas) – all work diff and change super fast. And if we catch imbalances early, we can prevent sooo much future disease. That’s what keeps me drawn to this field again n again. I’ve been treating conditions like recurrent cough, digestive issues, low weight, delayed milestones, worm infestations, even stuff like hyperactive behaviour n sleep trouble. Some kids get better quickly, others need time n small course corrections. I like to work close with parents — answer all the “why’s” they bring, explain every step if I can. Sometimes they ask the same q’s multiple times, but I get it... they’re worried. I would be too. My core focus stays around strengthening immunity, gut health, and supporting proper development — both physical n mental. I use classical herbs, lehan, swarna prashan, and yes... lot of diet tweaking, too. I don’t believe in rushing or blindly copying textbook plans. Each child reacts diff. Ayurveda teaches you that if you listen well. I also work in rural setups sometimes, and tbh, the satisfaction there is just... something else. Fewer resources, more trust, more responsibility. Keeps me grounded. This work’s not flashy, but it’s real. And if the baby smiles, eats, sleeps, and the parents start sleeping again too... I know we’re on the right path.

I am still learning how to describe myself without sounding too stiff, but I do feel that my personal and inter-personal skills shape a big part of how I work. I try to stay approachable and not make pts feel rushed, even on days when time is slipping fast. I listen first, maybe longer than needed sometimes, just to catch the small hints in their words or their silence. I end up absorbing a bit of their pain or worry too, and then I remind myself to stay focused so I can actually help them, not just feel it. I am seeing people as whole beings, not just their symptoms or test values, and that keeps my treatment more grounded. I explain things in simple ways, though I get tangled in my phrasing here and there, but I make sure they and their family know what we’re doing and why. I try to stay honest even when the truth is slow progess or a rough patch in the condition. I am pretty dedicated to ethical practice, sometimes to the point where I double-check a simple step, and I don’t mind spending extra time if it means the plan is right. I push myself to keep learning, reading, attending discussions, all without getting scared of criticism, though a harsh comment stings me for a bit. I enjoy public interaction too—talking to groups, answering doubts, explaining Ayurveda without overcomplicating it. I am still shaping these skills every day, but they guide me in giving care that feels human, steady and trustworthy, even on the messy days when I am juggling too many things at once.

I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

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.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

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.

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. Sumit Tasgaonkar
I am Dr. Sumit S. Tasgaonkar — a BAMS doc who also went on to complete MS in Ayurveda surgery, along with CGO and PGDEMS. Kinda feels like I’m always learning. And maybe that’s what keeps me grounded — balancing classical Ayurvedic wisdom with real-time medical emergencies or even modern diagnostic tools. I don’t see these systems as opposites... for me, they compliment each other when you look closely enough. My work mostly revolves around chronic diseases, metabolic issues, lifestyle mess (and there’s plenty of it these days), and women’s health conditions — PCOS, hormonal imbalance, gynec stuff that needs long-term attention. I use Panchakarma, herbal meds, diet correction, sometimes just shifting someone’s daily habits does more than we expect. But it’s never one-size-fits-all. I take a lot of time getting to the root cause — dosha imbalance, agni disturbance, whatever is underneath the visible stuff. Patients dealing with arthritis, stress, skin flareups, digestion trouble — I’ve seen all of that and more. And every case teaches something new. I’m super keen on tracking progress too. Like we keep tweaking, adjusting as per prakriti and vikriti, not just protocol-for-all. And honestly, the most satisfying part? when patients tell me they feel like themselves again. I started Tasgaonkar Medical Foundation with a big dream of bringing authentic Ayurveda to more people, esp. rural areas where choices are limited. We still keep prices fair and try not to compromise on classical principles. Accessibility doesn’t mean diluting the science — that’s always been important to me. What I really want is to see more people actually understand their health. Not just pop pills or mask symptoms. I wanna give them the tools — through knowledge, through food, through breath — to live lighter and healthier. And ya, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes you doubt, sometimes you adjust everything mid-plan... but that's Ayurveda too. Listening, observing, and flowing with the body, not against it.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.
