Doctors' responses

That is a good sign. The Healing response shows your system has responded well to the combination of medicines and diet changes. Since the bleeding and pain completely stopped and bowel moment or slightly improved, it mean, the acute face has settled and your now entering the maintenance phase. You do not need to stop sudden suddenly continue the same 2-0-2 dose for another 10 to 14 days to consolidate healing of the figure tissue and to ensure internal pulse shrink completely. After that, you can safely taper the dose to 1-0-1 for another 3 to 4 weeks as maintenance, this gradual reduction helps prevent recurrence, especially if there is a tendency towards constipation or straining

Continue triphala churna at bedtime with warm water - it helps to keep the stools soft improves digestion and maintains colons tone Make sure your diet stays rich in warm lightly oiled fibre balanced foods moong dal ghee buttermilk Avoid spicy, dry, heavy to digest meals Drink enough for motor throughout the day

Thank you doctor. Will follow this.

Hello Bhavani I’m truly glad to hear that your pain and bleeding have completely subsided — that’s an excellent sign of healing and a positive response to your Ayurvedic treatment.

✅ CURRENT RECOMMENDATION

Since your condition has improved significantly:

1. Continue the same dose (2-0-2) for one more week (total 3 weeks). ( This helps ensure complete healing of the fissure and stabilizes the tissue strength.)

2. After 3 weeks, reduce to maintenance dose: 1 tablet twice daily (1-0-1) after meals for next 2 weeks.

3. Continue Triphala Churna at bedtime with warm water for 1–2 months to maintain soft bowel movements and prevent constipation. 4. Gradual tapering ensures no rebound irritation or recurrence.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE CONTINUATION

✅ Include:

Warm water throughout the day to aid digestion. Cooked vegetables, ghee, buttermilk, and fiber-rich foods (lauki, spinach, papaya). A teaspoon of ghee before lunch and dinner to lubricate the intestines. Continue Triphala Churna or Avipattikar Churna nightly if stools become hard.

❌ Avoid:

Spicy, sour, fried, or dry foods. Straining during defecation. Long sitting hours without movement. Alcohol, caffeine, or excessive bakery products.

✅ LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS

Regular morning walk or light yoga (Pavanmuktasana, Vajrasana after meals).

Warm sitz bath with Triphala decoction or plain warm water once daily for 10–15 mins to keep the anal region relaxed and clean.

Maintain regular sleep pattern and hydration.

✅ FOLLOW-UP PLAN

If no symptoms return after 4 weeks, gradually stop the tablets but continue Triphala for bowel maintenance.

If any discomfort, dryness, or occasional itching persists, continue 1 tablet at night (0-0-1) for another 2 weeks.

Yes, you can safely continue the same dose for one more week, then reduce to 1-0-1 for maintenance over the next 2 weeks. Your healing is progressing beautifully — just maintain regular diet, hydration, and Triphala at night for sustained results.

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.

HELLO,

CURRENT STATUS -pain and bleeding = resolved -bowel habits= improved -other symptoms= none

You are in the healing and maintenance phase

MEDICATIONS CONTINUATION If you’ve been taking 2 tablets twice daily (2-0-2) for 15days and are symptoms free -next2 weeks= you can safely reduce the dose to 1 tab twice daily (1-0-1)after meals -this helps maintain healnig while preventing recurrence and allows your body to gradually taper down the herbal intensity

if you feel absolutely symptoms-free and your digestion feels balanced, you can even reduce to 1 tab after dinner only in the 4th week- but only if stools remain soft and no strain is felt

2) TRIPHALA CHURNA Continue triphala churna with warm water at bedtime- it keeps bowels soft, prevents recurrence, and gently detoxifies the colon

-If stools become too loose, reduce to 1/2 tsp instead of 1 tsp

DIET AND LIFESTYLE Keep following pitta pacifying and fiber rich diet -warm, freshly cooked meals ; avoid spicy, fried, or very sour foods -include ghee in meals 1/2 tsp with rice or roti - it lubricates intestines -drink warm water throughout the day -avoid sitting for long hours, take shorts walks after meals

LOCAL CARE If you feel dryness or mild discomfort -Apply jatyadi taila or panchavalkala decoction before or after passing stool for local healing

After completing 4 weeks -If still symptom free, discontinue tablets but continue triphala for another month -If any strain, dryness or itching recurs- return to 1-0-1 dosage for 10 more days

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT HELPFUL

THANK YOU

You can continue the current dose (2-0-2) for another 2 weeks, making it a total of 4 weeks. After that, reduce to 1-0-1 for maintenance, provided symptoms remain resolved.

🌿 Supportive Ayurvedic Medicines (Optional Add-ons) If you wish to enhance healing and prevent recurrence, consider adding: - Triphala Churna – Continue at bedtime with warm water. - Abhayarishta – 15–20 ml after meals with equal water, if constipation persists. - Jatyadi Taila (external) – Apply locally if there’s residual discomfort or dryness. - Gandhaka Rasayana – 1 tab twice daily for 2–4 weeks (if itching or inflammation was present earlier).

🍽️ Diet & Lifestyle Tips - Avoid spicy, oily, and deep-fried foods. - Include ghee, boiled vegetables, and fiber-rich fruits. - Stay hydrated and avoid straining during bowel movements. - Warm sitz baths with Triphala decoction can be soothing.

Since you’ve noticed significant improvement with the current regimen, it indicates your body responded well to the treatment so far. Pain and bleeding stopping is a good sign. You can continue with the same dose (2-0-2) for another 2 weeks, making it a total of four weeks. This helps to consolidate the benefits you’ve gained and addresses any underlying imbalances. After four weeks, it’s generally advisable to taper down. Transitioning to a maintenance dose of 1-0-1 can prevent recurrence.

However, while continuing this treatment, ensure you keep following a balanced diet which you mentioned had positive effects. Include fiber-rich foods like fruits, whole grains, and vegetables, to help prevent further issues. Adequate hydration is crucial, particularly with the intake of Triphala Churna, which can be continued at night with warm water. This facilitates smoother digestion and promotes gut health.

Implementing certain lifestyle habits like not sitting for prolonged periods, gentle yoga, or walking daily could support circulatory health, particularly in your lower body.

It’s important to note that individual responses may vary. If any new symptoms occur, or if the pain or bleeding returns, reassessment would be necessary. In that case consulting with a healthcare provider is recommended. Since you’ve already had such improvements, sticking to the plan while monitoring closely should keep you on the right track.

Based on the remarkable progress you’ve experienced with the current regimen for your anal fissures and piles, it’s promising to hear that the pain and bleeding have subsided. The use of two tablets twice a day, alongside Triphala Churna at night, seems to be supporting your recovery well. This suggests a balance between your doshas and the diet adjustments has enhanced your body’s healing processes - a good sign that your agni or digestive fire is also stable.

Continuing this dosage for another two weeks could be beneficial, though it’s ideally best to slightly adjust the plan if you notice particular improvements or interactions. Normally, after 4 weeks, you may consider transitioning to a maintenance dose of one tablet twice a day (1-0-1), but this step is dependent on how your body continues to respond to the herbs.

Nonetheless, while Ayurvedic principles greatly emphasize gradual and sustained healing, you should also observe how your body feels and any subtle changes in symptoms. Monitor any variation in bowel movements, discomfort, or unusual symptoms, and make sure your diet remains rich in fiber, hydrating, and supportive of your ongoing recovery.

If after two more weeks on the current dosage you feel stabilized, transitioning to a reduced dose is reasonable. Always best to consult directly with your practitioner to address any specific needs or uncertainties, ensuring safety. If any new symptoms arise, it’s essential to get a clinical opinion immediately.

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. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

Dr. 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. Sneh Deep Pargi
I am someone who really ended up settling deep into the whole reversal space—chronic disorders, lifestyle chaos, all the long-haul stuff people usually carry around for years without much shift. Over the last 4+ years in clinical practice, I’ve worked a lot with type 2 diabetes, high BP, obesity cases, thyroid things (esp. subclinical or fluctuating TSH), PCOS, hormonal imbalances, and weird in-between patterns that don’t always fit textbook categories but clearly show metabolic distress. Most of my work revolves around getting to the *why* underneath—why is the sugar staying high despite meds, why is the weight stuck despite diets, why the cycle is irregular even when scans look "normal". Once we catch that core disruption, I use a combination of proper Ayurvedic detox (when required), internal herbal meds, food corrections, and small lifestyle shifts—nothing fancy but consistent stuff that’s aligned to that person’s nature and stage. I’ve seen many patients who came in frustrated, stuck in loops of test-repeat-dose-adjust and just kinda tired of being ‘managed’ rather than understood. Honestly, a lot of that changes when digestion gets strong again, sleep starts coming on time, or energy returns mid-morning without 2 coffees... those are the cues I track more than just lab values. My focus isn’t just removing meds fast—it’s about actually getting the body to *not need* them over time, which takes clear follow-ups, adjusting plans as things shift, and teaching people how to read their own signals. I don’t use one-size fits all panchakarma either—if detox makes sense, we do it right. If rebuilding is needed first, we wait. Gut healing, liver regulation, insulin sensitivity, cycle rhythm—all those have very specific Ayurvedic pathways that I like to apply carefully, not blindly. And yeah, some cases do surprise me with how fast they respond when the direction’s right. My work feels most real when a patient slowly starts feeling like *themselves* again... not just "treated". That’s what I aim for every time.

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.
