Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Hello, I understand the stress you are undergoing. Please get in touch with a counselling+psychotherapist and start taking regular sessions. Along with that the following will help you: 1. Tab Manomitram(avn) 1—0—1 after breakfast and dinner for 45 days. 2. Saraswatarishtam with gold 15ml—0—15ml by adding 20 ml of boiled cooled water for 30 days.

And also learn pranayama and start practicing 15 minutes at a stretch 2 to 3 times a day(anulamoa-vioma and bhramari)

Take care, Kind regards.

Hello I truly understand how painful and exhausting it can feel when intrusive thoughts about a past relationship keep returning — even after you’ve started feeling better. What you’re experiencing is completely natural; the mind takes time to heal after emotional loss. So please don’t worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Manas Mitra Vatakam – 1 tablet twice daily with warm milk (Calms anxiety, controls intrusive thoughts, and improves sleep.)

2. Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily with warm water ( Enhances concentration, memory, and emotional balance./

3. Saraswatarishta – 20 ml with equal water after food twice daily ( Nourishes the nervous system, improves mood, and strengthens mental stability.)

4. Ashwagandha Churna – 1 teaspoon with milk at bedtime ( Reduces stress, improves sleep, and restores emotional strength.)

✅MIND–BODY PRACTICES

Morning Routine

Start your day with Abhyanga (self-massage) using sesame or Brahmi oil on the scalp and soles — this pacifies Vata and relaxes the mind. Sit quietly for 10 minutes, close your eyes, and repeat the mantra: Om Shanti Om — it invokes mental peace and grounding.or any mantra you belive in

Yoga Asanas- Balasana , Setu Bandhasana ,Viparita Karani Pranayama- Anulom Vilom, Bhramari

✅ DIET & LIFESTYLE GUIDELINES

✅ Include

Warm, nourishing foods: ghee, milk, rice, moong dal, cooked vegetables. Include herbs like turmeric, cinnamon, and basil. Fresh fruits (especially banana, pomegranate, and apple) to uplift mood.

❌ Avoid: Excess caffeine, sugar, spicy or fried food — they disturb Vata and Rajas. Overuse of social media or movies that trigger emotional memories.

Sleep Routine:

Maintain regular bedtime before 10:30 PM. Avoid screens 1 hour before sleep — read something calming or listen to soft instrumental music.

✅ MENTAL HEALING PRACTICES Write a gratitude journal each morning — list 3 things you’re thankful for. Practice forgiveness meditation: close eyes and mentally say I release the past with happiness Surround yourself with positive people or spiritual reading (Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras, or inspirational books*). Spend 15 minutes in sunlight daily — it naturally elevates serotonin levels.

With calming herbs like Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Saraswatarishta, regular self-care, and a sattvic routine, your thoughts will gradually settle, and inner peace will return.

Healing the mind is like strengthening a muscle — gentle, consistent effort brings stability and joy back.

Wishing you a good health 😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Depression and other disorders related to the mind can only be treated when you make up ur mind to get rid of them.

❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts…

Just note the patterns n timings of the feeling and make yourself busy in that time… If you have nothing to do at that time simple do some physical activity or go for a walk or if it is possible for you concentrate on your breath(which most of the people find difficult to do)

🧘‍♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.

❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.

❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.

❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume… Let it be spiritual or positive…

✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.

✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.

✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.

✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.

💊 Medication: 💊

Panchendriya Vardhan Tailam 2 drops in each nostril early in the morning empty stomach.

Cap. Memorin(S.G.Phytopharma) 2 caps twice a day before food.

Syp. Prasham 4 tsp at bed time with lukewarm water. Tab. Manasmitra Vatak 2 tabs at bed time.

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,

After breakup, your mind is still trying to “process” painful memories. Even when you logically know the relationship wasn’t healthy, the emotional mind keeps replaying those scenes or thoughts These are called intrusive thoughts- unwanted mental images or memories that pop up repeatedly , causing sadness, anxiety, or guilt

In your case -depression symptoms low mood, energy, motivation show that your mental and physical energy are depleted -The constant replay of the past shows vata imbalance (restlessness, overthinking) and rajas tamas dominance (mental agitation and dullness)

ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA -The mind has three basic qualities -sattva (clarity, peace) -rajas (activity, passion, restless ness) -tamas (darkest, confusion , inertia)

-During emotional shock or breakup, rajas and tamas increase-> causing racing thoughts, sadness, withdrawal and self blame

AT THE PHYSICAL LEVEL -VATA DOSHA becomes disturbed -AGNI (mental and digestive fire) becomes weak-> leading to Ama (toxic residue) in both body and mind -This manasika ama clouds emotions, creating repetitive , obsessive, or sad thoughts

TREATMENT GOALS -stabilize and calm the nervous system balance vata -reduce intrusive thoughts -strengthen emotional resilence -improve sleep ,digestion and energy -restore confidence, clarity, and joy

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1)BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals with milk =enahnces memory, focus and mental calmness

2) ASHWGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedime =reduce cortisol (stress hormone), improves mood and energy

3) JATAMANSI CAPSULE= 1 cap at bedtime =sedative, helps with intrusive thoughts and sleep

4) MANASMITRA VATAKAM= 1 tab at bedtime with milk =comprehensive mind tonic, relieves anxiety and depression

5) SHANKHAPUSHPI SYRUP= 10 ml twice daily after meals =improves mood, memory and reduce overthinknig

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= massage whole body with KSHEERBALA TAILA leave 30 min then take warm bath = calms vata , relieves stress, improves sleep

2) HEAD MASSAGE= massage scalp and forehead with brahmi oil at night = reduces intrusive thoughts

3) NASYA= instill 2 drops of brahmi ghrita in each nostril daily morning =nourishes brain, relieves anxiety, clears negative thoughts

DURATION= 21 days

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -ROUTINE= keep regular sleep wake schedule, avoid late nights and oveerstimulation- social media, news -SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE= morning sun for 15 min- balances mood -AVOID ISOLATION= spend time in nature or with supportive friends/family -DIGITAL DETOX= keep mobile away 1 hour before bed -JOURNALING= write thoughts daily to release mental tension -MUSIC THERAPY= listen to classical , meditative or soft instrumental music

DIET -warm,lightly spiced, freshly cooked meals -cow’s milk with ghee, dates, almonds, and cardamom at bedtime -moong dal khichdi, soups, ad root vegetables (sweet potato, carrots) -fruits= banana, pomegranate, mango in moderation -herbs/spices= cumin, fennel ,turmeric, cardamom

AVOID -cold, stale , processed food -coffee, alcohol, refined sugar -skipping meals or fasting excessivley -raw salads at night increase vata

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Balasana= deep relaxation and grounding -Viparita karani= improves sleep and calms mind -bhujangasana= opens the heart chakra -paschimottanasana= releases emotional blockages -savasana= deep rest and awareness

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances left and right brain clears restlessness -bhramari= calming vibration through humming -ujjayi= improves oxygen flow and mindfullness

MEDITATION -guided or mantra based e.g Om shanti , 10-20 min daily

HOME REMEDIES -warm milk at bedtime= add 1 tsp ghee with pinch of nutmeg for sleep -herbal tea= mix brahmi, tulsi or liquorice drink twice daily -aromatherapy- lavender or sandalwood essential oil for relaxation -oil pulling= helps remove ama and refreshes mind body connection

Emotional wounds heal slowly- just like physical ones. Ayurveda teaches that mind healing is not suppression but transformation- by calming vata, cleansing the mind, and rebuilding inner strength

REMEMBER= you are not your thoughts. Thoughts come and go- your true self is calm, whole and powderful

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

What your experiencing is very normal during recovery from depression when you start feeling better after a depressive phase, your mind regains energy and along with that old emotional memories, especially painful ones often surface more vividly. This intrusive thoughts about your past relationship or notice that you still want to go back. There are a sign that your mind is still processing. The heart reduction and loss of respect your experienced. It is like your emotions are catching up to what You intellect already knows that you deserve peace and dignity. The best way to handle this is not by fighting the thoughts, but by acknowledging and redirecting them when a memory or image of that person appears tell yourself calmly. Yes, that was a part of my life, but it no longer defines my present, then gently shift your attention to what you’re doing at that moment. Repeatedly doing this trains, your brain to stop looping around the past Practically keep yourself grounded, go for morning walk do deep breathing inhale for four counts, hold it for 8 counts and exile for six Write down your thoughts before bed to release them from your mind In Ayurveda depression with constant thought, turning is linked to disturbed vata so warm stable routines help-eat on time, avoid skipping meals You can take Brahmi vati one tablet twice daily after food with warm milk Manasamitra vatikam one tablet at night with warm milk Shankapuspi churna half teaspoon with warm water after food It is also important to slowly rebuild, joy, and self-worth through small things. Connecting with people listening to soothing music. Practising gratitude. For how far you have come, Healing from emotional pain is not about forgetting someone. It is about remembering yourself again over time. Those intro thoughts will fade naturally as your mind realises it. No longer needs to hold onto that old pain

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.

Intrusive thoughts, especially after a breakup, are understandable and can be incredibly distressing. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these thoughts may be linked to an imbalance in the ‘Sadhaka Pitta,’ which governs emotions and the heart.

Firstly, focus on cooling and calming activities to balance Pitta. Avoid overly spicy, salty, sour foods as these can increase Pitta. Instead, eat more sweet, bitter, and astringent taste foods such as leafy greens, cucumber, and fruits like pears or melons. These help in soothing and calming the mind.

Incorporate practices like daily meditation or yoga, which can be particularly helpful in processing emotions and promoting mental clarity. Set aside a consistent time each day for just 10 minutes to practice a simple breathing exercise, such as ‘Nadi Shodhana’ (alternate nostril breathing), which help calm the mind and balances the doshas.

Herbal support can aid in this transition. Consider utilizing herbs like Brahmi or Ashwagandha, which are renowned for their adaptogenic properties, helping to manage stress and enhance cognitive function. You could prepare Brahmi tea by boiling the leaves and drinking it warm, ideally in the late afternoon.

Regular Abhyanga, self-massage with cool, grounding oils like coconut oil, done before a warm bath, can also be beneficial. This practice helps calm the nervous system and promote serenity. Applying Sandalwood oil on the forehead can be grounding and help with mental focus.

Ensure your Agni, or digestive fire, is strong and supports proper digestion of not just food, but emotions too. Avoid eating heavy or late meals, and keep meals regular. Sip warm water throughout the day to assist in detoxification and digestion.

Sleep is another crucial factor. Maintain a consistent sleep schedule, aiming for quality sleep between 10 pm and 6 am. Avoid screens at least an hour before bed, and create a relaxing bedtime routine that might include reading a calming book or listening to soothing music.

If these intrusive thoughts persist, consider seeing a professional Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide personalized care, reflecting your unique balance of the doshas, and guide you through this period.

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. 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. 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. Vijayalaxmi Teradahalli
I am an Ayurvedic physician with clinical experience in both integrative setups and more focused specialty roles—which honestly gave me a pretty wide-angle view of how Ayurveda fits into modern patient care. I worked as the Clinic Head at Madhavbaug in Bangalore, where I wasn’t just doing OPD rounds—I was planning full treatment flows, coordinating team work, following up lab trends, and helping ppl navigate chronic issues like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and early-stage cardiac concerns. That job made me think way more about how Ayurveda can support preventive cardiology, not just wait for something to go wrong. Then came a whole different space—my time as duty doctor at a maternal hospital. It was intense, but super valuable. I worked closely with mothers through their antenatal and postnatal phases, and learned how to weave Ayurvedic support into that space without overloading the system. Like, knowing when to use a herbal decoction vs when just timing a meal better might shift the outcome. There were also moments where I had to adjust protocols based on what was happening in real time—not everything follows the textbook. Across both places, one thing stayed common—I focused hard on root-cause thinking. Not just patching up numbers or covering symptoms. I try to build care that lasts beyond that one consult. Whether it’s tweaking an oil to match a dosha shift, or helping someone actually follow a sleep routine without making them feel guilty for missing it... I believe real care is flexible, but still rooted in the classics. I use Panchakarma selectively—like Virechana or Basti when truly called for—and combine that with solid dietary advice, patient-led journaling, and mind-body awareness. I don't force rigid changes. I work with the patient's rhythm. That way it sticks better. For me, it’s not just about prescribing herbs or quoting sutras. It’s about building trust, helping people reconnect with their bodies, and using Ayurveda in a way that fits their life—not in a way that overwhelms it. That’s the kind of work I’m trying to build, one step at a time.

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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

Dr. Anupriya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

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.

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. 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.
