Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
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.

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

Hello I truly understand the depth of your concern. Facing cancer while worrying about the side effects of conventional treatments—especially on your heart—is emotionally and physically overwhelming. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅Ayurvedic Understanding

From the Ayurvedic perspective, Arbuda (tumor/cancer) arises due to Tridosha imbalance—particularly aggravated Kapha and Vata, along with Agnimandya (low digestive fire) and accumulation of Ama (toxic metabolic waste). Chemotherapy and radiation often disturb Ojas (vital immunity and life essence), leading to fatigue, poor heart function, and lowered resistance.

The goal of Ayurveda here is not to replace your medical care but to enhance vitality, detoxify gently, and nourish the tissues (Dhatu Poshan) to improve quality of life and recovery.

✅FOCUS OF TREATMENT

-Prevent further cancerous growth -help you to give to strength physically and mentally for chemotherapy -prevent side effects of chemotherapy

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

To restore strength, rebuild immunity, and protect the heart:

1 Chemoyog 1 sachet + varundai ghrita 1 tsp mix and take in morning empty stomach – antioxidant-rich, prevents further spread

2 Ashwagandha Lehyam 1 tsp in morning – improves energy, reduces anxiety, and helps tissue recovery.

3 Guduchi cap 1-0-1 aft– acts as an immune modulator, detoxifies chemotherapy residues.

4 Shatavari kalpa 1 tsp with warm milk – nourish mucosa, support recovery after harsh treatments.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include:

Warm, fresh, lightly spiced foods—khichdi, mung dal soup, vegetable stews. Cow ghee (1–2 tsp/day) – a Rasayana that nourishes Ojas and protects tissues. Fruits like pomegranate, papaya, and ripe bananas for natural antioxidants. Herbal teas: Tulsi–Ginger–Cinnamon or Guduchi–Turmeric.

❌Avoid

Canned, reheated, or leftover foods. Cold, raw, or dry foods. White sugar and refined oils.

✅LIFETSYLE MODIFICATION

Practice deep breathing (Anulom Vilom, Nadi Shuddhi) for oxygenation and stress relief. Gentle restorative yoga postures under supervision. Ensure sound sleep, early bedtime (before 10 PM). Maintain a calm mind — guided meditation or mantra chanting (Mahamrityunjaya Mantra) can provide emotional strength.

✅ Home Remedies for Gentle Healing

Morning drink: Warm water with 1 tsp Amla juice + few drops of honey. Night drink: 1 cup warm milk with Ashwagandha powder (½ tsp) if digestion allows. For strength: Mix 1 tsp each of Chyawanprash and ghee daily.

✅ Important Guidance

Do not discontinue modern cancer treatments without oncologist approval. Ayurveda can be safely integrated alongside them to reduce toxicity, improve heart resilience, and enhance recovery.

Regular monitoring of heart function and hemoglobin is essential.

With time, faith, and the right blend of holistic and medical care, your body can regain strength, and your mind can find peace again.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

For people with solid tumor and heart issues the safest and most successful approach is usually Modified medical treatment + strong, supportive, holistic care Can adjust- Chemo dose Drug selection Schedule Supportive medication Heart, protecting medication This is common in heart issue related patients so conventional treatment does not always mean full force chemo that your heart cannot handle

HELLO,

Understanding Your Condition — The Modern & Ayurvedic Lens PHASE 1: Modern Medicine View A solid tumor, such as breast, colon, lung, or prostate cancer, involves: Uncontrolled cellular growth, Inflammation and genetic mutations,

And in your case, cardiac vulnerability limits the tolerance of some chemotherapies-such as anthracyclines, trastuzumab, or high-dose radiation near the chest.

Goal-a modern view:

Prevent metastasis. Minimize heart and systemic damage.

Ayurvedic View (Arbuda / Granthi) Ayurveda interprets cancer as “Arbuda”, a deep-seated growth caused by:

Low Agni (digestive/metabolic fire) means impaired cellular intelligence.

Support body-mind-spirit harmony. PHASE 2: Integrated Medical & Ayurvedic Assessment Before beginning, a collaborative assessment should include: Modern diagnostics: Imaging studies (CT/MRI/PET) Nutritional status and inflammatory markers: CRP, vitamin D, etc.

Ayurvedic assessment:

Vikriti- current imbalance Agni level: strong, weak, irregular Ojas level: robust versus depleted Nadi Pariksha (pulse analysis)

A. Modern / Conventional Medical Side

Targeted therapy or immunotherapy, rather than aggressive chemo.

Dexrazoxane (cardioprotectant) ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, or CoQ10 for heart support. Regular cardiac monitoring.

B. Ayurvedic Therapy Framework 1. Langhana & Ama Nivritti (Detoxification & Clearing Toxins)

Dietary Detox: Light, warm, freshly cooked meals. Avoid sugar, red meat, processed foods, cold, or stale items.

Drinks: Warm water with lemon or trikatu (ginger-black pepper-long pepper). Herbal teas: Guduchi + Tulsi + Neem-for immune cleansing. Herbs: Guduchi Ghan vati= 2 tab twice daily after meals : Enhances immunity and reduces chemo toxicity.

Triphala-1 tsp with warm water at bedtime smooth detoxification, antioxidant effect, normalization of bowel movements.

Khichdi with ghee, cooked vegetables, mung dal. Warm milk with turmeric and a pinch of cardamom, if tolerated.

Herbal Rasayanas:

Arjuna churna 1 tsp with warm water twice daily – cardiac tonic and also strengthens cardiac muscle. Amalaki Churna 1 tsp with warm water morning empty stoamch- antioxidant, anti-cancer Rasayana.

3. Manasika Chikitsa (Mind & Emotional Healing)

Pranayama: Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) - balances doshas, calms heart rhythm.

Guided visualization of light in the heart or tumor area.

Emotions can be deeply changed by regular chanting with devotion.

Write, speak, or process grief, fear, anger-emotional stagnation is seen as a subtle form of “Ama.” 4. Sattvic Lifestyle (Dinacharya & Ritucharya) Up before the sun; gentle morning walk in nature. Daily Abhyanga: self-massage with warm sesame or medicated oil improves lymphatic flow, calms the nerves. Early, light dinner. Rest by 10 PM; that’s when regeneration peaks. Avoid too much screen time, news, and stress.

PHASE 4: Cardiac Care Within the Integrative Model

Ayurvedic Heart Tonics: Arjuna, ashwaganda= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily after meals

Modern Cardioprotective Nutrients: CoQ10 (100–200 mg daily) – supports cardiac mitochondria.

Magnesium & L-carnitine: heart rhythm and energy support. Mild exercise as tolerated (yoga, slow walking).

PHASE 5: Spiritual Healing and Inner Work

Sattva cultivation: Seek peace, compassion, forgiveness, self-acceptance.

service: Helping others brings back one’s purpose and spiritual vitality. Silence and meditation allow deep cellular rest.

If you specify your problem in detail than we can plan treatment accordingly

this is just a normal protocol

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

Internal Remedies 1. Kanchnaar Guggulu: 2 tablets twice daily after meals with warm water (reduces tumor inflammation). 2. Guduchi Churna: 3 gm morning with warm water (immune booster, safe for heart). 3. Ashwagandha Churna: 2 gm at night with milk (gentle adaptogen for energy, low thyroid/heart risk). 4. Triphala Churna: 1 tsp nightly with warm water (detox, mild laxative for post-chemo gut). 5. Arjuna Capsule: 500 mg twice daily after meals (heart tonic, supports cardiac function).

External Therapies Abhyanga: Daily 15-min warm Bala Taila massage on body (calms Vata, reduces stress). Shirodhara: Weekly 30-min warm sesame oil on forehead (eases anxiety, improves sleep). Diet (Sattvic, Anti-Inflammatory)

Give only: Warm, cooked foods: Moong dal khichdi + 1 tsp ghee + turmeric daily. Anti-cancer veggies: Bitter gourd, lauki, pomegranate (1 bowl daily). Heart-friendly: Oatmeal with almonds (4 soaked) for breakfast. Hydration: 2–2.5 L warm water/herbal tea (ginger-tulsi) daily. Avoid: Processed/sugary foods, red meat, caffeine (worsens inflammation). Raw/cold foods (weakens Agni post-chemo).

Lifestyle Practices Yoga/Pranayama: 10 min gentle poses (e.g., child’s pose) + Anulom Vilom breathing daily (reduces stress, supports heart/lungs). Mindfulness: 15 min meditation or journaling nightly (addresses fear, boosts emotional resilience). Rest: Sleep 10 PM–6 AM; short walks (10 min) if energy allows.

Panchakarma: Consider mild detox (e.g., Basti) after oncologist approval for toxin clearance.

Monitoring & Next Steps Track Weekly symptom journal (energy, pain, heart symptoms 0–10); monthly bloods (tumor markers, cardiac enzymes).

Seek a cardio-oncology program for heart-safe treatment plan; explore clinical trials for low-toxicity options. Caution: Never delay conventional care—holistic enhances, doesn’t replace it. If symptoms worsen (e.g., chest pain, breathlessness), seek ER. Healing is possible with balanced, informed steps and focus on empowerment and support. You’re not alone.

When dealing with a serious condition like cancer, balancing traditional and holistic approaches can be quite challenging. It’s essential to prioritize safety first, and for serious cancers, conventional treatments often play a critical role. Some cancer treatments might pose risk, especially to the heart, it’s important to talk with your oncologist about the risks and benefits of each option.

Ayurveda can supplement conventional treatments by addressing your body’s overall health and resilience. Integration of both approaches is vital. Initially, incorporate Ayurvedic dietary and lifestyle modifications to support your body. A diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and fresh fruits can be very beneficial. Focus on foods that align with your dosha, emphasizing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant rich options like turmeric and amla.

Maintain your agni (digestive fire) by consuming warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest. Avoid heavy, processed, or oily foods which can dampen your agni and lead to ama (toxins). Drink warm water throughout the day to aid digestion and detoxification.

Daily practices like yoga and pranayama can help reduce stress and improve circulation, supporting both your mind and body. Gentle asanas and breathing exercises, like Nadi Shodhana, can enhance your recovery, but it’s essential to adjust intensity to your current energy levels.

Herbal treatments such as ashwagandha and brahmi may assist in boosting your immune system and managing stress. Consult an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor these recommendations specifically for you, considering your present treatment plan and symptoms.

Listening to your body and making necessary adaptations over time is key. And, close coordination with your healthcare team ensures that any integrative approach enhances rather than hinders your main treatments. Overall, a cautious and balanced approach combining both allopathic and Ayurvedic strategies will be most effective for managing cancer.

Considering that you have a serious case of cancer, immediate focus on life-saving treatment is crucial. Conventional treatments, while potentially damaging, are often necessary to control and remove cancer cells. It would be wise to work with your oncologist to determine a plan that emphasizes both effectiveness and safety for your heart health. Siddha-Ayurveda can play a supportive role to complement these methods by addressing your body’s overall balance and helping manage side effects.

We can start by supporting your digestive fire, or agni, which could become weakened from stress and illness. Sip on warm ginger water throughout the day to help invigorate agni, aid digestion, and help palliate nausea—a common side effect of treatments. Adding a few fennel seeds may provide additional digestive benefits.

Diet holds key importance, yet it needs to align with your chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Opt for a simple, freshly prepared diet lukewarm temperature, avoiding excessively oily or spicy foods, since they could imbalance the pitta dosha further. Incorporating soothing foods like cooked veggies, mung dal soups, and rice can strengthen ojas, the core vitality needed for recovery.

Herbal formulations such as ashwagandha may provide adapatogenic support, helping manage stress and boosting energy. However, due to potential interactions with medications, it’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider before use.

Remember, regarging oncological situations, nothing replaces immediate medical treatment. Harnessing Siddha-Ayurvedic principles alongside modern medicine will optimize balance and potentially reduce side effects without compromising the primary treatment’s efficacy.

Dr. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

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 !!

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.

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.

I am a doctor who has worked as an intern in a Government hospital in Mysore, and that time shaped a lot of my basic clinical thinking. During that period I was exposed to many real life cases, from OPD work to emergency situations, and it helped me understand how different patients respond in real settings. I also spent time working in rural hospitals, where resources were limited but learning was deep and practical. Along with hospital work, I volunteered in many medical camps, where I got to interact with patients from different backgrounds and health conditions. These experiences taught me how important clear communication and patience really is. Sometimes things did not go as planned, but that is how learning happens. Working in these setups helped me build confidence, responsibility and a better understanding of patient care at ground level. I still carry those lessons with me in daily practice, and they continue to shape how I approach treatment and decision making.

I am a doctor with hands on experience in managing skin disorders, spinal problems and long standing joint conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Over the years I have worked with many patients who come with daily pain, stiffness, nerve related discomfort and skin issues that slowly affect their routine. My focus stays on understanding how these problems develop over time, not just treating the surface symptoms. I spend a lot of time looking at posture, movement patterns, daily habits and how the body reacts to stress and workload. Many cases involve back pain, neck stiffness, joint swelling or chronic skin concerns, and each one behaves little different. Sometimes improvement is quick, sometimes it takes patience, but I try to guide the process carefully. I believe treatment should be practical and realistic, not rushed. I pay close attention to history, lifestyle and body response before deciding next steps. Over time this approach has helped me manage long term conditions in a steady way, even when progress feels slow or uneven.

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. 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. 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.

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

Dr. 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?
