Hello I understand your concern about the dark spot (eye freckle or Nevus) on the iris. While it is usually benign, Ayurvedically it may indicate Pitta dosha vitiation and accumulation of Rakta dhatu dushti (impurity in the blood).but don’t worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Saptamrita Lauha. 1 tab twice daily (Strengthens optic nerve and cools eyes)

2. Punarnavadi Kashayam 15 ml twice daily with warm water (Detoxifies liver and improves blood quality)

3 Arogyavardhini Vati 1 tab twice daily after food (Balances Pitta, improves liver function)

4 Triphala Ghritham 1 tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water (Gentle detox and eye rejuvenation)

✅ EXTERNAL EYE CARE

1 Triphala Netra Jal (Eye wash)- Wash eyes with cooled Triphala decoction daily morning (Reduces Pitta and strengthens vision)

2 Itone eye drop 2 drops in each eye (pure rose water only) once a day (Soothes and cools irritated eyes)

3 Padabhyanga (Foot massage with ghee) Nightly before sleep Calms Pitta, supports better eye health

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

Include: Amla, ghee, cucumber, coriander, leafy greens, pomegranate, raisins.

Avoid: Excess spicy, sour, salty, and fried foods; alcohol; and direct sun exposure.

Drink: Coriander-cumin-fennel water daily to balance Pitta.

✅Lifestyle:

Avoid excessive screen exposure or direct bright light. Wear UV-protection sunglasses outdoors. Sleep early and maintain good hydration. Practice Trataka (gentle eye focusing exercise) under guidance.

✅HOME REMEDIES

1. Amla juice (10–15 ml) daily morning with water — strengthens optic tissue.

2. Aloe vera juice (10 ml) with water — purifies blood and cools Pitta.

3. Coriander seed water — soak overnight, strain, and drink to maintain eye health.

✅When to Seek Medical Evaluation

If the dark spot Increases in size or changes shape Causes pain, redness, or vision changes

Then, an ayurvedic ophthalmologic evaluation is important to rule out pathological causes.

HELLO,

A freckle on the eyes, medically called an iris nevus, is a small, usually harmless dark spot on the coloured part of your eyes (iris) It’s somewhat like a “mole” on the skin, but it forms in the pigment layer of the iris

You’ve mentioned -it appeared less than a month ago -there’s light sensitity -no other skin spots

This means the pigment cells (melanocytes) in the iris have localised overactivity, causing a small dark patch. Most are benign, but new or changing freckles need observation by an ophthalmologist, because in rare case they can develop into a type of eye melanoma

In Ayurveda the eyes are the seat of Pitta dosha, especially alochaka pitta, which governs clarity of vision, light perception, and pigmentation

When Pitta dosha becomes aggravated- due to hear, stress, spicy food, late nights, or eye strain- it affects the eye tissues leading to -pigment deposits (freckles or dark spots) -light sensitivity (photophobia) -burning, redness, or irritation if chronic

So, this condition is seen as a pitta rakta vitiation disorder of the Netra mandala

TREATMENT GOALS -balance pitta dosha -purify blood -strengthen ocular tissues -support liver and metabolism -rejuvneate vision and prevent degeneration

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at. bedtime for 3 months = detoxifies eyes, improves microcirculation, supports retina and pigment balance

2) SAPTAMRIT LAUHA= 250 mg twice daily with honey and ghee after meals for 3 months =classical eye tonic, iron based strengthen optic tissues, reduces light sensitivity

3) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 2 months =improves blood purification and liver function, reduces pitta and inflamation

4) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily in morning for 3 months =antioxidant, rejuvenates eye tissue, pacifies pitta

5) ALOE VERA JUICE= 30 ml with equal water empty stomach for 1 month =cools and detoxifies liver, regulates pigment metabolism

6) TRIPHALA GHRITA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk after meals =rejuvenation for eyes, soothes and strengthens optic nerves

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) TRIPHALA EYE WASH= boil 1 tsp triphala in 1cup water-> cool->strain-> rinse eyes gently 2-3 times weekly =cleanses, reduces inflammation, brightens eyes

2) COLD ROSE WATER COMPRESS= use pure organic rose water on cotton pads place on eyes 10-15 min daily = cooling, relaxes eyes, redues strain

3) COW’S GHEE LUBRICATION= apply a drop on the lower eyelid at night 1-2 times/week =soothes dryness, balances pitta

DIET -sweet,cooling, and mildly oily foods= ghee, milk, rice, moong dal, cucumber, coriander, fennel, coconut, aloe vera, amla -Fresh fruits=grapes,pomegranate,pear, watermelon, apples -Vegetables= bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, leafygreens -Drinks= coconut water,buttermilk with cumin, coriander fennel tea -Use ghee instead of oil- it nourishes ocular tissues

AVOID -spicy, sour, salty, fried or very hot foods -caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco -overexposure to sulinght and blue light (screens) -skipping meals, fasting excessively, or irregular sleep

LIFESTYLE AND ROUTINE -SCREENUSE= follow 20-20-20 rule (every 20 min ,look 20 feet away for 20 sec) -SLEEP= maintain 7-8 hours, avoid late nights -HYDRATION= drink room temp water, avoid chilled or carbonated drinks -SUNLIGHT= wear UV-protection sunglasses outdoors -STRESS MANAGEMENT=avoid anger, overwork, and heat exposure- all increase pitta

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -PALMING= rub palms and cup over eyes)= relaxes ocular muscles, reduces light sensitivty -TRATAKA= (candle gazing)- strengthens eye focus (do only when eyes feel cool, not irritated) -SHEETALI AND SHETKARI= balances pitta -NADI SODHANA= calms the mind, improves circulation -NETRA ABHYANGA= gentle massage around the eyes with castor oil or ghee before sleep

HOME REMEDIES -Amla juice= 15ml daily- rich in vitamin C and antioxidants -Cucumber slices on eyes= 10 min daily- cooling and soothing -Soaked coriander seeds water= strain and drink in morning- helps cool pitta -Aloe vera gel = for natural cooling and detox effect -Ghee eye drops= 1 drop occasionally at night

An eye freckle (iris nevus) is usually harmless and can often be managed by -balancnig pitta dosha -cooling, nourishing diet and lifestyle -regular eye care practices

Ayurveda focuses not only on removing the symptoms (spots) but correcting the root imbalance that causes pigmentation and heat in the system

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

Iris nevus is a benign pigment spot (often congenital), but new onset requires immediate ophthalmologist evaluation to rule out melanoma or other issues. Ayurveda offers supportive remedies for eye health, pigmentation balance (Pitta/Rakta Dushti), and light sensitivity—not a cure. Use under Vaidya guidance; monitor vision changes.

Internal herbs & Supplements 1. Triphala Churna: 1 tsp in warm water nightly (detoxifies, nourishes eyes, reduces Pitta). 2.Amla Churna: 2 gm twice daily after meals with water (antioxidant, supports eye tissue). 3. Daruharidra Churna: 1 gm morning with warm water (purifies blood, aids pigmentation). 4. Guduchi Churna: 2 gm morning with water (immune boost, eye rejuvenation). 5. Yashtimadhu (Licorice) Powder: 1 gm twice daily after meals (soothes inflammation, cools eyes).

External Remedies Triphala Eye Wash: Boil 1 tsp Triphala in 200 ml water → cool → strain → wash eyes 2x daily (reduces sensitivity, cleanses). Rose Water Compress: Soak cotton in pure rose water → place on closed eyes 10 min nightly (cools Pitta, relieves light sensitivity). Anu Tailam Nasya: 2 drops each nostril morning (clears head channels, supports eye health).

Diet Give only: Cooling foods: Cucumber, pomegranate, coconut water (1 glass daily). Ghee 1 tsp in warm milk nightly. Warm water sip every 30 min (2 L total). Avoid completely: Spicy, sour, salty food; caffeine. Direct sunlight (wear sunglasses).

Lifestyle Netra Vyayama: Palming (rub palms, cup over eyes) 5 min 2x daily. Pranayama: Sheetali (cooling breath) 10 min morning. Sleep 10 PM–6 AM; dim lights.

Monitoring Spot size/light sensitivity: Weekly note. Ophthalmologist follow-up in 2 weeks.

Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

In Ayurveda, eye health is often linked to the balance of Pitta dosha, which governs heat and transformation in the body. Addressing an eye freckle or nevus may involve calming Pitta and ensuring overall eye care. First, it’s vital to understand that any changes to the eye should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist to rule out serious conditions that require medical intervention.

Ayurvedic care can complement medical treatments, focusing on reducing internal heat and promoting eye health. One can incorporate specific herbal remedies known for their cooling and soothing properties. Triphala, a blend of three fruits (Amalaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki), is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy for eye health. It can be used as a daily supplement, aiding digestion and removing toxins. For eye application, Triphala churna can be mixed in water, boiled, strained, and then used as a gentle eye wash once cooled.

The use of rose water, known as a natural coolant, may be beneficial. A few drops of pure rose water can soothe the eyes, applied directly if doctor’s agreed. Applying castor oil around the eyes (not in them) before bed can also be nourishing.

For diet, emphasize foods that pacify Pitta. Think cooling, hydrating foods: fresh fruits, especially those high in water content like cucumbers and melons. Avoid spicy, oily, or heat-inducing foods and beverages like caffeinated ones as much as possible. Almonds and walnuts offer essential fatty acids that support overall health, including the eyes.

Practicing Trataka, a meditative eye exercise that involves gazing at a fixed point like a candle flame, can enhance concentration and calm the mind. It should be done with care and a preference for natural light conditions.

Managing stress through regular yoga and meditation can support eye health indirectly by balancing doshas and circulating prana effectively. Ensuring you have proper sleep hygiene and safeguarding the eyes from excessive screen time is also crucial. These lifestyle changes coupled with the herbal remedies align with ayurvedic practices to foster eye health.

When dealing with a nevus or eye freckle, especially on the iris, it’s important to first understand that any changes in the eye should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out serious conditions. Ayurveda can complement conventional care but not replace crucial medical interventions. Assuming you’ve had this checked and it’s benign, Ayurveda can offer some supportive care.

From a Siddha-Ayurvedic point of view, an imbalance in the doshas, particularly pitta dosha, might be a contributing factor to skin pigmentations, even in cases like eye freckles. Regulation of pitta through diet and lifestyle could potentially help manage symptoms. You may want to include cooling and pacifying herbs and dietary choices.

1. Triphala is a revered herbal formulation which supports eye health due to its pitta-balancing properties. You can use triphala powder washed in water as an eyewash, though do ensure the solution is sterile and prepared under hygienic conditions. Simply soak one teaspoon of triphala powder in a cup of water overnight, strain and use the liquid the next morning.

2. Consuming Amla (Indian gooseberry) can be beneficial. Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, it supports eye health and helps balance all three doshas, particularly pitta. Amla can be taken in juice form or as a supplement.

3. Ghee, particularly when medicated with Triphala, known as Triphala Ghrita, is traditionally believed to support eye health. A common practice is consuming it on an empty stomach — start with a small amount, about a half teaspoon.

Incorporate foods that are cooling and pitta-pacifying, like cucumbers, melons, and cilantro. Avoiding spicy and fermented foods that might aggravate pitta could be beneficial as well.

Develop a routine that reduces stress and fosters relaxation, as stress can aggravate pitta. Consider practices like Shirodhara or gentle yoga and meditation.

Remember, while these are traditional recommendations, emphasis should always be placed on professional medical advice when dealing with eye conditions.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

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

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

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

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

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. 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 !!

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

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