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 Thank you for reaching out. I understand how distressing it can feel to experience numbness and weakness in your legs and feet without a clear cause (idiopathic neuropathy). But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

To nourish and rejuvenate nerve tissues:

1 Ashwagandha Capsule – 1-0-1 twice daily with warm milk.(enhances nerve regeneration and strength.)

2 Balaristham 30ml-0-30ml after food (supports muscular tone and reduces weakness.)

3 Dashamoola Kashaya – 20 ml twice daily after meals; (balances Vata and relieves stiffness.)

4 Brahmi Vati (Gold or Plain) 1-0-1 after food ( improves neural communication and mental calmness.)

5 Palsineuron 1-0-1 after food
( for chronic Vata disorders involving nerves.)

✅PANCHAKARMA THERPY (if accessible)

Highly beneficial for neuropathy:

👉Abhyanga (Warm Medicated Oil Massage) – daily with Ksheerabala Taila to stimulate circulation.

👉Swedana (Steam Therapy) – after Abhyanga, to open microchannels.

👉Basti (Medicated Enema) – the most powerful therapy for Vata disorders. Matra Basti with Dhanwantaram Taila or Balashwagandhadi Taila nourishes nerve roots and improves leg strength.

👉Shirodhara or Shiro Abhyanga – enhances relaxation and nervous system balance.

✅HOME REMEDIES

Warm sesame oil massage on legs and feet before bath daily. After massage, soak feet in warm water with a pinch of salt and a few drops of eucalyptus oil.

Drink warm water with a pinch of dry ginger and turmeric – to improve circulation and reduce Ama.

1 tsp cow ghee with warm milk at night – helps nourish the nervous system and calm Vata.

Morning drink: Mix 1 tsp Amla juice + ½ tsp honey in warm water for antioxidant support.

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include:

Warm, unctuous, nourishing foods—soups, khichdi, mung dal, and boiled vegetables. Healthy fats like ghee, sesame oil, and avocado to strengthen nerves. Fruits like banana, dates, and pomegranate to restore energy.

❌ Avoid:

Cold, dry, and raw foods (salads, crackers). Excess caffeine and processed sugar. Late-night eating and skipping meals.

✅ Lifestyle & Yoga (Vihara)

Gentle yoga: Pawanmuktasana, Bhujangasana, and Tadasana to improve circulation.

Foot stimulation: Roll a warm bottle or soft ball under feet daily to activate nerve endings.

Meditation and breathing exercises (Anulom Vilom) to calm Vata and improve oxygenation.

Sleep early and wake early—rest is vital for nerve regeneration

With patience, regular practice, and the right Ayurvedic approach, nerve awakening and strength improvement are possible over time.

Wishing you a good health 😊

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

When you are describing is the kind of neuropathy where the nerves are not irritated, but or actually underactive, that is why there is numbness and weakness without pain. In this situation, the goal is to gently wake up the nervous by improving circulation, warm and regular stimulation. Nothing works instantly, but consistent, small steps, make a real difference.

Start with warm cold, contrast for the feed Delhi. Keep one mug of warm water and one of cool water dip your feet in warm for one minute, and then cool for 22nd. Repeat this five times. This small routine improves micro circulation and helps dormant nurses response better. Warm Dhanwantaram taila and massage from toward for five minutes every night. This improves Neuro conduction and produces the dead feeling. Internally, you can use Ashwagandha capsule one capsule twice daily after meals with warm milk Do small ankle moments and two moment three times a day, even if the moment is tiny, they repeated signalling from the brain to helps them wake up, Slowly

Avoid sitting in one position for long hours. Avoid cold exposure to the feet for long and try to keep your blood sugar, BP and stress under control since all three affect nerve healing

HELLO,

“IDIOPATHIC” means cause unknown and “NEUROPATHY” means nerve weakness or damage The nerves in your legs and feet are not sending proper signals that’s why you feel numbness, tingling, or weakness even without pain

In modern science, this may happen because of -reduced blood flow to nerves -nutritional deficiencies especially vitamin B12 -autoimmune changes -toxins,metabolic issues or aging

Ayurveda describes this as a vata vyadhi (vata disorder)- where the vata dosha (responsible for movement, sensation, and nerve function) becomes imbalanced and depleted

Vata governs the body’s neurological and muscular activities When it becomes dry , cold, or unstable it leads to -Manda gati= slow nerve conduction -sparsha hani= loss of touch or numbness -daurbalya= muscle weakness -shosha= tissue depletion

This state is called snayugata vata or mamsa kshaya manya vata vyadhi

TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata dosha -rejuvenate nerve tissue -remove blockages -enhances coordination and vitality -prevent further degeneration

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk for 3 months = rasayana, nourishes nerves and muscles, reduces fatigue

2) BALA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with milk after lunch for 3 months =strengthens muscles, supports nerve conduction

3) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml + equal water twice daily after meals for 2 months =vata shamak, anti inflamatory, improves circulation

4) EKANGAVEER RAS= 1 tab twice daily after meals with honey for 2 months = potent neuro rejuvenator, used in paralysis, neuropathy

5) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =nerve tonic, improves nerve impulse transmission

6) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp morning empty stomach =rasayana, boosts tissue regeneration

7) SWARNA MAKSHIKA BHASMA= 125 mg once daily with honey before breakfast for 1 month =rejuvenates majja dhatu, improves vitality

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= WITH MAHANARAYAN TAILA -massage gently from thighs to toes for 15-20 min daily =improves nerve conduction, increases blood supply, removes stiffness and numbness

2) MILD FOMENTATION -after oil massage mild steam on legs =opens blocked channels, relieves heaviness, activates dormant nerve endings

HOME REMEDIES -warm sesame oil massage= daily on legs and feet, followed by warm water bath -Garlic milk= boil 2-3 cloves of garlic in milk, drink once daily- improves circulation -Turmeric + black pepper= 1/2 tsp turmeric + pinch of pepper in warm milk- supports nerve repair -Fenugreek seeds= soak overnight, chew in morning- helps blood flow and nerve tone -Regular foot soaking= in warm water with a pinch of rock salt- stimulates nerves

DIET -warm, unctous , nourishing foods -ghee, sesame oil, milk, dates, soaked almonds, cooked grains- rice, wheat -soups made of moong dal, vegetables, and mild spices- ginger, cumin, turmeric -herbal teas with cinnamon, cardamom, or licorice

AVOID -dry, cold, raw foods, excessive salads -fasting or skipping meals -excess caffeine, alcohol or smoking -stress,cold exposure, and irregular routins

YOGA ASANAS -tadasana= improves balance -vrikshasana= enhances nerve control -bhujangasana= strengthens spine and nerves -pawanmuktasana= activates eve endings -vajrasana= improves lower limb circulation

PRANAYAM -Nadisodhana= balances both hemisphere of brain -bhramari= calms the mind and improves nerve tone -ujjayi= increases oxygenation, relieves fatigue

Idiopathic neuropathy without pain but with numbness and weakness is primarily a Vata-related degenerative nerve disorder Ayurveda’s strength lies in rejuvenating and rebalancing- not just symptom control.

Recovery is gradual but real- consistency for 3 months is key Your legs and feet can regain sensation and energy if you stay regular with massage, medications and diet

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.

For idiopathic neuropathy with numbness and weakness, Ayurveda can offer supportive measures that might aid in stimulating circulation and nerve function. Identifying imbalances in the doshas, particularly Vata, could help. Vata imbalance often manifests as neuropathy, and calming Vata may provide some relief.

Firstly, dietary adjustments are essential. Favor warm, moist foods that are easy to digest, such as soups or stews. Add spices like ginger, turmeric, and garlic, which are known to enhance circulation and reduce inflammation. Avoid cold, dry, or raw foods as they aggravate Vata dosha - aim for regular meal times to maintain a stable metabolic clock.

Massage with warm oils can be particularly beneficial. Sesame oil is traditionally recommended for Vata disorders. Gentle self-massage (abhyanga) of the legs and feet, focusing on areas with numbness, can promote circulation and awaken dormant nerve endings. Perform this daily before showering for the best effect.

Yoga and pranayama could also support improved circulation and nerve function. Practices such as gentle stretches for the legs and feet, along with deep breathing exercises, may enhance the flow of prana (life-force energy). Simple postures like Pawanmuktasana (wind-relieving pose) can help release trapped Vata from the lower body.

Herbal supplements may be found beneficial, but it’s vital to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before taking them. Herbs like Ashwagandha offer nervous system support and may reduce stress, leading to improved nerve function. Guduchi can also be considered for its rejuvenative properties.

Keep in mind, following these remedies consistently is crucial, as Ayurveda focuses on gradual but sustainable improvement. Meanwhile, monitor any changes in symptoms and do not hesitate to reach out for conventional medical support if conditions do not improve. Safety and balanced approach should always be prioritized in managing health issues.

When dealing with idiopathic neuropathy, especially with symptoms like numbness and weakness, we think of addressing vata imbalance which often underlies these symptoms. In Siddha-Ayurveda, vata disturbances can lead to constrictions or weakened nerve function, which might be the case here. Let’s talk about what you might do to alleviate these issues practically.

Start with incorporating regular oil massage (abhyanga) with warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil. Focus on the legs and feet—apply in gentle, circular motions and then along the length of the muscles. You can do this daily, preferably in the morning before bath, as it can help stimulate circulation in the nerves and tissues, invigorating them.

Next, think about your diet—it’s crucial to pacify vata. Emphasize warm, grounding foods: think cooked whole grains like rice or quinoa, root vegetables like sweet potatoes or carrots, with plenty of spices like ginger, turmeric, or asafetida. Ensure a nourishing intake of healthy fats like ghee, which supports nerve tissue (majja dhatu).

Herbally, consider a daily dose of Ashwagandha or Shatavari, either in powder form (1/2 teaspoon with warm milk) or as a standardized extract. These herbs support nerve function and vitality.

Practice simple mindful exercises like gentle yoga or tai chi—focusing on gradually building strength and balance. Even short, daily walks can be beneficial to keep energy flowing through your nadis or energy channels.

Do consult a healthcare professional if numbness or weakness becomes more severe or does not improve, as these symptoms should be carefully monitored if there might be underlying causes that need further investigation.

I am Dr Soukhya, completed my BAMS degree under Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science, and sometimes I still can’t believe how fast that year of full-time practice went by… feels like I m still figuring small things while already handling so many female disorders and skin related conditions every day. I work mostly with Ayurveda treatments for gynic cases, hormonal ups-and-downs, chronic skin troubles and a few other things that always need more gentle hands than people expect. I am practicing for a year now, but honestly the learning kind of never stop, each patient shows something new… sometimes I even pause thinking “wait, did I explain that right” and then go again with more clarity. My focus stays on understanding the root-cause, balancing doshas properly, and giving care that feel practical not over complicated. I treated many gynic issues, from irregular cycles to pregnency related discomforts, and a lot of cosmetology concerns too (acne, pigmentation and stuff that people get worried about really quickly!). I am also running offline yoga classes for pregnant women and others too… it started simple but grew into this small supportive space where I see how much differnce breathing and mindful movement makes. Sometimes the schedule gets messy, or I m not sure if the batch timing was perfect, but the sessions still turn meaningful. Ayurveda, yoga, routine corrections — all these tie together in my approach. I try to keep things straighforward, even if my notes get a bit scattered here and there or a comma miss somewhere, but the intention stays steady: help people feel better with methods that respect body’s natural healing.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

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

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. Shazia Amreen
I am Dr. Shazia Amreen, an Ayurvedic physcian with a little over 7 years of hands-on experience in clinical practice. I did my MD in Ayurveda from Government Ayurveda Medical College, Bangalore—and honestly, those years helped me go much deeper into the classical texts and the clinical ground. Not just theory... actual healing. Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with a diverse set of patients—from chronic gut problems to skin & hair concerns, musculoskeletal issues, hormonal imbalances, kidney stones, you name it. My core strength really lies in Panchakarma and gastrointestinal healing, where I don’t just jump into detox, but take time to see where the agni is, how deep the ama has gone, and whether the body’s ready to reset. I’m very rooted in classical assessment—looking at dosha imbalance, dhatu state, and prakriti before planning anything. But also, I keep it grounded in modern daily life. What’s the point of a great herbal blend if the person can’t sleep on time or digest their food properly, right? That’s why I focus big on Ahara-Vihara guidance. I don’t just hand over a diet list—I walk people through why those changes matter, and how to make them sustainable. In my practice, I often blend Rasayana chikitsa with basic lifestyle coaching, especially for cases like IBS, PCOS, eczema, migraines, or stress-triggered flareups. Each case is unique, and I don’t believe in repeating the same formula just because it worked for someone else. I also emphasize emotional reset, especially in long-standing chronic cases—sometimes people carry fear, shame, or frustration about their illness. I try to hold space for that too. Whether it’s someone coming in for general detox, a fertility consult, or just confused by their symptoms—I aim to build a plan that makes sense to them. It should feel doable. Balanced. And over time, it should make them feel like they’re coming back home to their own body. That’s the kind of Ayurvedic care I believe in—and try to deliver every single day.

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

Dr. 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. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.
