From what you have described, your system has gone through too many treatments in a short time Panchakarma, repeated vermox/albendazole/ ivermectin cycles to big vastis back to back and continuous Triphala Fever, bloating, becoming soft after vasti shows that the abdomen had long standing vata kapha trapping, but they cleansing was repeated without restoring strength. Your gut lining and skin immunity have become more sensitive. That is why the hitching around the anal area, especially after bathing, keeps returning, even after anti paracytic medicines

In Ayurveda, this pattern fits with stubborn vata kapha imbalance along with low Agni and irritated colon mucosa … After repeated antihelmintics the parasites maybe weekend, but this skin around the anus becomes hypersensitive dry, and the microbiome becomes disturbed. This creates forced by teaching, even if worms are almost cleared. You need to stabilise the colon now, not cleanse again What is likely happening? The big vastis softneed your bloating because vata mood temporary, but your Agni did not rebuild Triphala every day after panchakarma continues to keep the colon in mild cleansing mode, which irritates an anal skin for some people Repeated worm medicine, disturb local Flora when you bathe warm water increases blood flow and irritated nerve endings, create itching, even if worms are minimum The hitching cycle continuous because the meko is dry and inflamed, not because of active, heavy infestation

What you can do now for 20 to 25 days, Stop Triphala for now give your colon a break Start gandharvahatitaki avaleha-1 teaspoon at night with warm water It reduces bloating without scrapping the colon harshly For the itching- pat dry completely Apply Jatyadi tailam-around the annual region This removes the irritation cycle and restore the skin barrier To rebuild gut,immunity start in Bilvadi lehya-1 teaspoon twice daily after meals For parasites (last cycle, only do not repeat this repeatedly Take vidanga churna -of teaspoon with warm water at morning for five days, then stop it This is safer forever, then repeated chemical antihelminthics Diet for next 30 days Warm, fresh, simple food Avoid raw salads fruits at night cold drink, bread, oats, excessive triphala Bring Carom- cumin - fennel water If bloating increases, then you can take Hingwastaka churna of teaspoon with water before means It will reduce within 5 to 7 days once the skin barrier is restored Bloating should settle within 10 to 14 days Stability will return within 3 to 4 weeks if no more cleansing is done

From what you have mentioned, the bloating, improving after two large enemas show your intestine were holding a lot of stagnation, but the recurring anal itching after bath point strongly toward ongoing parasite irritation plus an irritated sensitive lining, so continuing multiple anti were medicines back to back and actually in flame, the anal skin and worsen vata in the colon at this state, the best approach is to stop all deworming for now calm the gut take a gentle bubble regulation like small dose of triphala only at night Apply oil like coconut oil or castor oil around the anal area. After bathing, keep the area completely dry drink, warm water. Avoid raw foods and after one week of settling down, you can repeat a single short course of one anti parasite, medicine do not mix many together, like you can take vidangasava 20 ML with equal water after meals for 10 days

Hello I completely understand your concern. Chronic bloating and recurring skin itching after treatment can be distressing — especially when you’ve already tried multiple therapies. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PROTOCOL

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tab twice daily after food with warm water – improves liver function, enhances digestion, and removes Ama toxins.

2. Krimighna Vati – 1 tab twice daily after food – acts as an Ayurvedic antiparasitic and relieves itching and perianal discomfort.

3. Triphala Guggulu – 1 tab twice daily after food – reduces bloating, relieves intestinal inflammation, and supports detoxification.

4. Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with lukewarm water before meals twice daily – helps balance excess Pitta and relieves hyperacidity and bloating.

5. Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tab twice daily after meals – purifies blood, reduces itching, and enhances skin immunity.

✅ EXTERNAL APPLICATION & HYGIENE CARE

1. Bathing – Use lukewarm water with 1 tsp neem powder or a few neem leaves boiled in it. Avoid hot water baths.

2. Post-bath care – Apply paste of neem + turmeric + aloe vera gel over the itchy area; this soothes irritation and prevents microbial growth.

3. If itching persists – Use Nalpamaradi Taila or Manjisthadi Taila for local application before bath (15–20 min) daily to purify skin.

4. Clothing hygiene – Use mild, non-synthetic undergarments; wash with neem-based detergent or a few drops of tea tree oil in rinse water.

5. Avoid scratching – it worsens irritation; instead, apply cold aloe gel for instant soothing.

✅ HOME REMEDIES

✅ For Bloating:

Boil 1 tsp ajwain + 1 tsp jeera + pinch of hing in 2 cups water; reduce to 1 cup, drink warm after meals.

Eat 1 tsp trikatu churna (sunthi + maricha + pippali) with honey once daily to enhance digestion.

Avoid drinking water immediately after meals.

✅ For Itching / Worm Infestation:

Drink 1 glass of warm water with 1 tsp neem leaf juice or ½ tsp turmeric powder empty stomach daily for 7 days.

Have papaya seeds (1 tsp crushed) with honey on an empty stomach once weekly — natural dewormer.

Include garlic and black pepper in daily diet — both act as natural Krimighna dravyas.

✅ DIET & LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS

Include:

Warm, freshly cooked, light foods (moong dal, rice gruel, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, carrots). Buttermilk with roasted cumin after meals to aid digestion. Herbal teas of fennel, ajwain, or coriander.

Avoid:

Cold drinks, fermented foods, refined flour, sugar, and dairy. Late-night eating, sleeping immediately after meals, and daytime sleep.

Lifestyle Tips:

Practice Laghu Udvartana (powder massage) once weekly to improve lymphatic flow and remove toxins. Gentle Anulom Vilom & Agnisar Kriya early morning improve digestion and gut motility.

With regular Ayurvedic therapy, you can expect relief in bloating and heaviness within 3–4 weeks.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO,

You’ve had -persistent bloating for more than 6 months -itchy skin ,especially around the anal area after bathing -History of intestinal parasites, treated with several allpopathicmediicnes -Recently completed a 19 day Ayurvedic Panchakarma with vast ad are still taking triphala

According to Ayurveda, your symptoms show an imbalance mainly of -Vata dosha= causing gas, bloating, irregular bowel movements -Kapha dosha= causing heaviness, mucus, sluggish digestion -Pitta involvement= causing itching, burning or skin irritation

Additionally, due to long standing digestion issues and possible residual parasites, your system has built up ama- a kind of sticky toxin formed when food isn’t fully digested. This Ama, along with disturbed vata and kapha, creates gas, bloating, and irritation in the colon and skin

WHY THE ITCHINESS AFTER BATH? When parasites or residual toxins irritate the colon and anal region, warm water or soap during bathing can increase circulation and aggravate itching Sometimes after repeated anti parasitic use, the delicate skin and gut flora become irritated, leading to secondary fungal or bacterial itching

TREATMENT GOALS -cleanse the digestive tract gently- remove ama and residual parasites -restore strong digestion so that food digests completely -soothe and heal the intestinal mucosa after harsh medications -reduce local irritation and itching naturally -balance vata and kapha to prevent gas and bloating -rebuild gut flora and immunity to avoid recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1)VIDANGA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water in morning empty stomach for 10 days =natural anti parasitic herb, kills intestinal worms and reduces itching from krimi

2) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp before meals with warm water for 3 weeks = improves digestion, reduces gas, relieves bloating, pacifies vata

3) CHITRAKADI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 weeks =increases digestive fire, burns ama, clears toxins

4) TRIPHALA CHURA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water for 2 months =mild laxative, cleanses colon, improves absorptio

5) BUTTERMILK WITH CUMIN= half glass after lunch daily =helps digest fats, removes kapha, restores gut balance

IF BURNING OR ACIDITY DEVELOPS, REPLACE CHITRAKADI VATI WITH AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily after meals

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS AND SKIN CARE

1) NEEM - COCONUT OIL MIX -mix equal parts neem oil and coconut oil -apply lightly to itchy area after drying post bath -PURPOSE= antibacterial, antifungal, soothing

2) NEEM WATER WASH -boil a handful of neem leaves in 2 L of water for 10 mi -cool until lukewarm and wash all area after bath or before bed =prevet secondary infection and reduce inflamation

3) BATHIN ROUTINE -avoid strong soaps. use green gram flour or neem-turmeric herbal powder to cleanse body -dry the area throughly ; moisture worsen itching -wear loose, cotton undergarments

DIET -prefer warm, freshly cooked, light meals -include jeera, ajwain, hing, ginger, and turmeric only -use cow’s ghee in moderation- soothes vata and heals intestinal lining - drink warm water or cumin seed water throughout the day

AVOID -cold foods, and drinks -heavy dairy cheese, yogurt at night -fried, fermented or processed foods -excess sweets and white flour -raw salads and uncooked vegetables

LIFESTYLE ADJUSTMENTS -maintain regular meal timing, avoid skipping meals -avoid eating when stressed or before old food digests -sleep by 10:30 pm to balace hormonal cycels -avoid sitting long hours post meal- take short walks -reduce excessive sexual activity or stress during treatment phase, as they disturb apana vata

YOGA ASANAS -pawanmuktasana -vajrasana -trikonasana -setu bandhasana

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom= Balances Vata and pitta -bhramari= calms mind, reduces internal heat -kapalbhati= improves digestion

HOME REMEDIES -Ajwain tea= drink warm after meals -Cumin coriander fennel water= sip through day -Lemon-honey warm water in morning supports mild detox -triphala body scrub weekly to reduce skin irritation

Your body is recovering from both the effects of parasites and the deep cleansing panchakarma. some temporary imbalance and skin irritation are normal during this stage The key now is gentle rebalancing- not more aggressive cleansing

FOCUS ON -strengthening digestion -claming vata -healing the intestinal mucosa -keeping the anal region clean and dry - following a light, warm, nourishing diet

Within 6-8 weeks, bloating should reduce, bowel regularity improve, and itching subside

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Persistent bloating and itchy skin can relate to an imbalance in the doshas, potentially involving Vata and Pitta. After completing your treatment, it seems like you experienced some relief with Vasti, likely helping to pacify aggravated Vata. Triphala, a beneficial herbal formulation typically helps maintain digestive health and knows to clear ama, or toxins. However, in your case, the presence of parasites seems to be a complicating factor.

In terms of Ayurveda, it’s critical to look at strengthening your digestive fire, or Agni, which can be compromised by parasites and medication. Consider drinking warm water throughout the day, adding spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel to your diet, which can gently enhance Agni. Simple meals, like a warm vegetable soup or kichadi, might be helpful, as they aid in smoother digestion without adding load to your system.

Regarding the itchiness, especially post-bath, this could align with heightened Pitta, needing cooling and soothing. Applying coconut oil before your shower can help protect the skin. Further, using an oatmeal water bath, mixing a handful of ground oatmeal in your bath water, can be soothing and reduce itchiness.

When managing parasites, it’s important that you complete the medication courses as prescribed and follow up with a healthcare practitioner to ensure full resolution. Additionally, garlic and neem, both recognized for their anti-parasitic properties, can be introduced cautiously under professional guidance.

Given the redundancy of strong medications in a short period, I advise to monitor your symptoms closely and see a physician specializing in parasitic infections to confirm the right treatment plan and dosages is maintained and your condition thoroughly assessed.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

Your persistent bloating and itchiness indicate an underlying imbalance that needs meticulous attention. Bloating often results from agni (digestive fire) disturbances, particularly aggravated by improper diet or digestion-related dosha imbalances. Itchy skin post-vermox could signal your body’s detox effort or a deeper pitta imbalance due to heat localization.

To address bloating, focus on settling your agni. Try taking ginger tea before meals to stimulate digestion. Grate fresh ginger and boil it in water for about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, a mix of a pinch of salt with ginger juice right before eating can also invigorate agni. Manage meals with warm, cooked foods; avoid raw or cold meals to stabilize digestion.

The itchiness near the anal area indicates potential ama (toxins) buildup or a kapha excess. Dry brushing your skin before baths can invigorate circulation and reduce kapha. Use a natural, soft-bristle brush, making gentle strokes toward the heart. This practice assists the lymphatic system in clearing stagnation.

For parasites, remember these treatments can stress your body. A decoction of neem leaves once a day could continue to help purify and restore balance, but be cautious not to overdo internal antiparasitics without consulting a professional directly.

Despite these practices, if itchiness or bloating persist or worsen, consult a physician. They are key to ruling out more severe underlying conditions. Avoid self-prescribing multiple medications as it can risk adverse effects. Keep hydrated, rest, and support your system with calming routines.

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.

Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. 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. 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. 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. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

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

Dr. Shivanshu Sharma
I am Dr. Shivanshu Sharma, an Ayurveda physician with main focus on preventive cardiology and lifestyle related disorders, which slowly became the center of my clinical interest. I completed my BAMS from Vaidya Yagya Dutt Sharma Ayurvedic Mahavidyalaya, Khurja, affiliated to CCS University, where I build a solid base in classical Ayurveda along with practical clinical exposure to many medical conditions. Those early years shaped how I look at chronic disease today, sometimes in simple ways, sometimes more complex. To strengthen my work in heart health, I completed a Certificate Course in Preventive Cardiology from the National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur. This training helped me understand cardiovascular risk assesment, early detection of high risk individuals, and holistic management of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity and metabolic syndrome using Ayurvedic principles mixed with modern preventive cardiology ideas. The balance is not always easy, but it feels necessary. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Max Society of Medical Academics Innovation and Research (MSMAIR), which adds a broader public health and evidence informed angle to my clinical thinking. I try to look beyond symptoms, focusing on long term prevention, lifestyle correction and patient awareness. Learning still feels ongoing, sometimes slow, but it keeps my practice grounded and real.
