It sounds like your body is going through several hormonal imbalance like regular periods, abdominal pain after eating air loss and history of a positive pregnancy test followed by taking medicine to induce spirits. After that your periods still not come this month even after a three day delay, this could be due to incomplete shedding of the uterine lining. Leftover or Monal imbalance us after that medicine or stress related disturbance in your cycle.

You should first repeat a Om pregnancy test after seven days from your expected date to be sure there is no ongoing pregnancy or retained tissue. If it is negative then it is mostly a post hormonal imbalance. In Ayurveda, this pattern is often due to vata pitta vitiation leading to disturbed menstrual flow The hair fall and abdominal discomfort after eating also suggest weak digestion and hormonal weakness You can take Asoka aristha Kumarasava 10 ML, each twice daily after meals with equal quantity of water Rajapravarthini vati one tablet twice daily after meals But you have to take the above medicine once your urine pregnancy test is negative Brahmi vati one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Include warm food ghee sesame seeds, jaggery, papaya, soaked, fenugreek, seeds in diet Avoid cold, shower, heavy food and reduce stress and late night Practice baddha konasana and Mala Sana daily If you are period doesn’t come even after 10 to 12 days, or if you feel pain, nausea, or weakness, please do a scan to rule out any products of conception or PCOS related disturbance

Hello I understand your concern — it can be quite worrying when your periods are delayed after taking medicines, especially with a previous positive pregnancy test, abdominal pain, and new symptoms like pimples and fatigue. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ Clinical Overview

You have mentioned: History of taking medicines for delayed periods last month A positive pregnancy test previously Currently no periods this month Complaints of abdominal pain, pimples, poor appetite, and fatigue

These symptoms may be due to hormonal imbalance, residual hormonal effect of the previous medicines, or continuing pregnancy if conception has occurred again.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

⚠️ First Step – Confirm Pregnancy Again Since you had a previous positive test, kindly repeat a urine pregnancy test or visit a local gynecologist for confirmation.

👉 Do not take any period-inducing medicine until pregnancy is ruled out. If pregnancy is negative and delay is due to hormonal or metabolic imbalance, follow this Ayurvedic plan:

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

(Start only after ruling out pregnancy)

1. Rajahpravartini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food with lukewarm water for 5–7 days ( Stimulates delayed menstruation, corrects hormonal rhythm.)

2. Ashokarishta – 20 ml with equal warm water after food twice daily (Balances female hormones, reduces abdominal pain, purifies blood, and clears skin.)

3. Kumaryasava – 15 ml twice daily after food ( Improves digestion, appetite, and supports uterine health.)

4. Manjishthadi Kahaya – 20 ml twice daily with equal water (Detoxifies blood, helps clear pimples and skin eruptions caused by hormonal imbalance.)

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include:

Warm, freshly cooked, light meals (moong dal, rice, ghee, cooked vegetables). Herbal teas made from jeera, ajwain, and saunf to improve digestion. A small piece of jaggery with ghee after meals helps regulate hormones naturally. Fruits like papaya, pomegranate, and black grapes support healthy menstrual flow.

❌ Avoid:

Cold, stale, or heavy foods. Excess spicy, sour, and fried items. Skipping meals or eating late at night. Emotional stress or irregular sleep.

✅Lifestyle & Yoga

Practice gentle yoga postures like Bhadrasana, Malasana, and Supta Baddha Konasana to enhance pelvic circulation. Pranayama like Anulom Vilom and Bhramari help calm hormonal stress. Ensure 7–8 hours of sound sleep daily.

First, repeat pregnancy test before starting any treatment. If negative, follow the above Ayurvedic plan for 1–2 cycles. If positive, stop all stimulating medicines and shift to nourishing care.

Balance of hormones and digestion will gradually restore natural cycle and skin clarity.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

Hello now a days many peoples had this issues . don`t worry. irregular periods with abdomen pain is common. pregnancy test is positive. better consult a gynecologist and if possible do usg abdomen. for you i will recommend some treatment which will benefit you .

initially you have to undergo deepana and pachana therapy

Deepana-Pachana therapy, which involves the oral administration of specific medicines, is a treatment modality aimed at enhancing and supporting the gastrointestinal tract’s functions. Deepana refers to medications that ignite Agni, the metabolic fire, without necessarily digesting Ama. Pachana drugs, classified as digestives, focus on the digestion of Ama without significantly intensifying Agni.

Ajmodadi choorna half spoon with warm water two times a day

Triphala choorna half spoon with warm water two times a day

Hinguvastaka churna half spoon with warm water before bed time

Aswagandha leham one spoon with warm milk two times a day

SIRODHARA WILL BE HELP FULL

Triphala oil for appliction in head

• Dietary Adjustments: Focus on fresh, whole, and seasonal foods that are easy to digest. A Kapha-pacifying diet is often recommended to reduce weight gain and insulin resistance. o Include: Organic fruits (pears, plums, figs), vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli), whole grains (ragi, millets), and spices (cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, cumin). o Avoid/Limit: Processed foods, refined sugars, excess salt, fried foods, and certain dairy products.

HELLO,

SYMPTOMS -irregularperiods less than 3 months -moderate abdominal pain after eating -hair loss due to stress -recent positive pregnancy test last month-> took medicine to induce periods-> this month, no periods again

Your body is currently showing imbalance in both hormones and digestion, which are deeply connected in Ayurveda .

In Ayurveda, menstruation (periods) depends mainly on the balance of vata and pitta doshas, and the nourishment of the rasa and rakta dhatus (nutritive and blood tissues). When your digestion (agni) weakens due to stress, improper diet, or medicines, the body produces “ama” (toxins) These toxins circulate in the body and disturb both -apana vata (which governs menstruation and lower abdomen function)and -Pitta dosha (which regulates blood flow and hormones)

Because of this -periods become irregular or delayed -pain occurs after eating because digestion and abdominal circulation are disturbed -Hair fall happens when nutrition doesn’t properly reach the hair roots

Since you had. a recent preganancy, it’s also possible that your uterus and hormones haven’t yet fully recovered, and the period inducing medicines might have further disturbed this balance

PROBABLE DIAGNOSIS -artava dushta= menstrual irregularity due to Doshic imbalance -weak digestion -hair fall due to stress and nutritional deficiency

DOMINANT DOSHA= vata-pitta DHATU INVOLVED= rasa, rakta and artava SROTAS AFFECTED= rasavaha, raktavaha, artavavaha

TREATMENT GOALS -regulate menstrual cycle naturally -balance vata and pitta to relieve pain and correct hormone rhythm -improve digestion and metabolism to remove ama and produce better nutrient absorption -rebuild and nourish reproductive and blood tissues -reduce stress to control hair loss and hormonal irregularity -enhance overall vitality and immunity

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1 gm with warm water before meals for 4 weeks =improves digestion ,clears ama, helps absorption of other medicines

2) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily after meals for 1 month with warm water =Balances Vata, reduces abdominal cramps and pain

3) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml twice daily after meals with equal water for 3 months = regulates hormones, stregthens uterine muscles, restores normal periods

4) SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with milk twice daily for 2 months =balances pitta, promotes fertility, nourishes female reproductive tissues

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = balances hormones, supports urianry and reproductive health

6) BRINGARAJ CAPSULE= 250mg twice daily after meals =reduces hair fall, improves liver function ,purifies blood

7) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp morning and evening = rasayana= improves immunity, nourishes all dhatus

DURATION= 2-3 menstrual cycles

DIET -eat warm, fresh, home cooked meals at regular times -avoid long gaps between meals or skipping breakfast -include foods that are sweetm oily, and grounding in nature to balance vata

INCLUDE -whole grains- wheat, rice, millets -milk, ghee, sesame oil -fresh fruits like pomegranate, dates, apple -vegetables like bottle gourd, pumpkin, spinach -iron rich foods= jaggery, beetroot, green leafy vegetables -herbal teas made with cumin-fennel-coriander seeds

AVOID -cold,stale, and packaged foods -excess spicy, sour, or fried items -caffiene, carbonated drinks, white sugar -late night eating and skipping meals

HYDRATION= warm water or herbal teas throughout the day help flush toxins

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -SLEEP= sleep by 10:30 pm, maintain 7-8 hrs of rest -STRESS MANAGEMENT= avoid overthinknig, practice self calming rituals -EXERCISE= gentle walks, yoga, stretching-avoid heavy workouts during periods day -AVOID COLD EXPOSURE= don’t sit on cold floors or bathe with cold water during menstruation -MENSTRUAL HYGIENE= use natural cotton pads, maintain cleanliness, avoid suppressing natural urges

YOGA ASANAS -baddha konasana= improves pelvic circulation -supta baddha konasana= relaxes uterus -bhujangasana= tones uterus and ovaries -setu bandhasana= regulates hormonal glands -marjariasana= balances pelvic and spinal movement

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances hormones -Bhramari= reduces stress -sheetali= cools pitta

HOME REMEDIES -GINGER TEA= boil 1 inch ginger in a cup of water; drink twice daily to relieve cramps and improve flow -ALOE VERA PULP WITH HONEY= 1 tsp on empty stomach avoid during active bleeding- balances hormones -SESAME SEEDS= 1 tsp roasted with jaggery daily for regular peirods -FENUGREEK WATER =soak overnight drink in morning ro reduce abdominal discomfort -AMLA JUICE= 15 ml daily for hair health

INVESTIGATIONS -Urine pregnancy test -thyroid profile -ultrasound pelvis -cbc hemoglobin

This condition is reversible with proper treatment and patience Because you recently had a positive pregnancy test, it’s important not to take strong period inducing herbs until pregnancy is completely ruled out

You should focus on -restroing balance, not forcing periods -rebuilding strength and nourishment through digestion and calm lifestyle -managing stress, as it’s a key trigger in your hair fall and hormonal irregularity

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

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

🩸 Possible Causes Hormonal imbalance after early pregnancy or miscarriage When a pregnancy ends (even very early), hormone levels like hCG, estrogen, and progesterone fluctuate, which can delay your next period. It can take 4–6 weeks after such an event for your cycle to normalize. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Can cause irregular periods, hair loss (especially scalp thinning), and bloating or abdominal discomfort after eating. Stress, weight changes, or hormonal medications may trigger or worsen symptoms. Thyroid imbalance Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism can cause all three: irregular cycles, hair loss, and digestion issues. Nutritional deficiency or stress Low iron, vitamin D, or B12 levels, and ongoing stress can worsen hormonal imbalance and cause hair fall. 🧪 Recommended Tests Please visit a gynecologist and request: Urine or blood hCG test (to confirm if pregnancy is completely resolved) Pelvic ultrasound (to check uterus and ovaries) Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4) Hormonal panel: LH, FSH, Prolactin, Estrogen, Progesterone CBC + Iron + Vitamin D/B12 levels 🌿 Ayurvedic Supportive Care (after confirming no pregnancy) Once your doctor confirms that pregnancy is cleared and no retained tissue remains: For irregular periods: Ashokarishta – 2 tsp with equal water after meals, twice daily. Kumaryasava – 2 tsp with equal water after meals. Rajapravartini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily for 5 days before expected periods (only after confirming not pregnant). For hair fall: Bhringraj oil massage 2–3 times a week. Amla powder or juice daily. Triphala churna at bedtime with lukewarm water. For abdominal pain after eating: Take Avipattikar churna (1 tsp before meals) if burning or heaviness after meals. Eat light, warm, easy-to-digest foods. Avoid cold drinks and heavy oily food. ⚠️ Important Do not take any more period-inducing medicines until a doctor confirms via ultrasound or hCG test that you are not still pregnant. Sometimes, incomplete early pregnancy (chemical pregnancy or missed abortion) can delay periods even after taking medicine.

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.

Irregular periods, abdominal pain after eating, and hair loss are concerns that could indicate underlying imbalances. The pregnancy test being positive previously suggests you were pregnant then, but taking medication to induce periods can have impacts on your body that need careful understanding.

First, about the medcine for inducing periods—the precise knowledge of what this medication was is important as it may have implications on your cycles and current symptoms. You should contact a medical professional for an accurate review of this treatment. Irregular periods can be linked with imbalances in Vata dosha, particularly if accompanied by stress, irregular lifestyle, or improper diet. It’s critical to assess your lifestyle, dietary habits, and stress levels.

For abdominal pain after eating, consider aspects of digestion. In Ayurveda, this is linked to the function of the digestive fire, or Agni. Eating in calm environments, chewing thoroughly, and avoiding cold or heavy meals can help enhance Agni. Try having warm, light meals with spices like ginger and cumin—these assist digestion.

Hair loss can be affected by nutritional imbalances or stress. Ensure a regular intake of iron-rich foods such as spinach and amalaki (Indian gooseberry), which are beneficial for hair.

It’s key to identify and stabilize any health imbalances. Regular menstrual cycles are essential indicators of women’s health in Ayurveda. Consider practices to balance hormones; Abhyanga (oil massage), yoga postures, and breathing exercises can be very helpful. Consider also consulting with a qualified practitioner who can provide a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan. As your previous pregnancy test was positive, further evaluation by a healthcare provider to rule out ongoing or incomplete pregnancy-related issues is recommended. Immediate medical consultation is the best course of action if you suspect significant concerns.

Dr. Nayan Wale
I am working in medical field for total 7 years, out of which around 4 years was in hospital setup and 3 years in clinic practice. Hospital work gave me strong base, long duty hours, different type of cases, emergencies sometimes, and learning under pressure. Clinic work is different, slower but deeper, where I sit with patients, listen more, explain things again n again, and follow them over time. In hospital I handled day to day OPD cases, routine management, and also assisted seniors when things got complicated. That phase shaped my clinical thinking a lot, even now I sometimes catch myself thinking like hospital mode when a case looks serious. Clinic practice on the other hand taught me patience. Patients come with chronic issues, expectations, doubts, sometimes fear, and I had to adjust my approach accordingly. I focus on practical treatment planning, not just diagnosis on paper. Some days I feel I should have more time with each patient, but I try to balance it. My experience across hospital and clinic helps me understand both acute care and long term disease management. I still keep learning everyday, reading, observing patterns, correcting myself when needed, because medicine never stays same for long, and neither should the doctor.

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

Dr. 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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. 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. S. Susitha Lekshmi
I am honestly trying to sum up my 10+ years in Ayurveda, and sometimes I feel like the words don’t fully catch what those years really meant. I worked across different setups, a mix of opd days, longer case followups and those moments where I had to rethink a treatment plan because the patient wasn’t responding the way I first expectd. Those things shaped me more than any textbook page honestly. I focus a lot on understanding how a person’s routine n habits shape their health, and I use classical Ayurvedic principles to guide most decisions… though there are days when I go back and recheck the basics again to make sure I am doing it right. My work in these years has made me comfortable handling a wide range of cases, from common digestive trbls to joint issues and skin concerns, and sometimes the more slow-moving lifestyle disorders where patience becomes a kind of treatment too. I try to keep my consultasions more like a conversation than a prescription-giving moment. I’ve seen how patients open up when they realise I’m looking for the root cause, not just the symptom. Diet correction, daily routine fixes, small mind-body adjustments—these things are simple but they shift a lot when done properly, and I’ve watched that happen dozens of times. I also keep learning, even now, sometimes going through old notes or attending quick sessions to refresh things I might have overlooked. And somewhere in these years, I think I developed a steady kind of confidence—not loud, just practical—that comes from seeing what works again and again. I’m still refining my approach, still figuring better ways to guide people, but my aim stayed same through all these years: offer care that feels real, personal, rooted in Ayurveda and still adaptable to the way people live today.

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

Dr. Batu
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 !!
