Doctors' responses

Hello Tania, I understand your anxiety completely particularly when a CT Scan depicts lymph node enlargement in the paratracheal region. Coupled with a sore throat , it is understandable that you would be worried. I want to assure you that a non necrotic paratracheal lymph nodes is most often a case of simple inflammation or ingestion and not a scary situation. Nearly all of them get rid of the problem completely with the right treatment in time.

👉Why Paratracheal Lymph Node becomes Enlarged:

Infected throat Viral attack Reflux of stomach acid/dryness Allergy irritation Postnasal drip

A non-necrotic lymph node is one that: – Does not contain pus – Has no tissue destruction – Has no severe diseases – Only reactive, reversible swelling

✅ TREATMENT PLAN

Given that your symptoms are acute (< 1 week), Ayurvedic anti-inflammatory + antimicrobial + lymph-draining drugs would be the best choice.

You may implement this full regimen for 14 days:

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Sitopaladi Churna – 1/4 tsp + Honey – twice daily Reduces inflammation of the throat Lightens kapha Relieves burning & irritation

2. Yashtimadhu Churna (Licorice) – 1/2 tsp in warm water – once daily Heals the lining of the throat Reduces dryness Improves voice

3. Mahasudarshan Ghanavati 1-0-1 after food Single-dose broad-spectrum anti-infective Greatly helpful in viral/bacterial infection of the tonsils

4. Tribhuvan Kirti Ras – 1 tablet twice daily Targets acute throat infections Removes lymph shortage

5. Kanth Sudharak Vati – 1 tablet every 3–4 hours Quickest symptom relief Helps swallowing when difficult and painful

✅LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE MEASURES

1. Warm Salt Water Gargles – 3 times/day Reduces pressure on lymph nodes Neutralizes infection Soothes the inflamed area

2. Steam Inhalation (only steam without additives) 5 minutes twice daily Supports lymph drainage

3. Hot Fomentation on Neck (Optional) Warm cloth or hot water bag, 5 minutes Softens the inflamed lymph tissue

4. Herbal Decoction (Kadha Recipe) Boil: Tulsi leaves (5) Ginger 1 inch Black pepper (4–5) Haldi 1/4 tsp Mulethi ½ tsp Drink 2 times a day.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Foods to Include Water should be warm only Soups (moong, tomato, vegetable) Light khichdi Ginger tea Turmeric milk Warm cooked vegetables Steamed rice

❌ Completely Avoid

Cold water, cold drinks Curd, lassi Foods that are deep-fried Sour foods (lemon, pickle, tomatoes in excess) Ice cream Talking excessively or shouting Dust/smoke exposure

✅ Lifestyle

Voice rest is very essential Be sure the neck is covered Do not let fan or AC blow directly on your throat Drink more water Follow proper sleeping habits Don’t eat late at night Don’t fast or skip your meals

✅ Follow-Up & Imaging Advice

Why NOT to worry: Most of the reactive lymph nodes disappear within 2–6 weeks after the infection gets resolved. There is no need for a repeat CT/X-ray immediately.

Repeat‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Scan is required IF: Lymph node is not getting smaller after 6 weeks New symptoms develop Cough lasting more than 3 weeks Unexplained weight loss Fever Node becoming even larger

However, based on your clinical history and sudden onset, it is most likely that you have a simple infection.

Your CT result (“non-necrotic paratracheal lymph node”) is generally a benign and reversible condition, especially if it is secondary to a recent viral infection of the throat.

Within 5-7 days, throat pain will be relieved. Within 2-3 weeks, lymph node size is generally decreased.

Wishing you the best of health,

Warm Regards Dr Snehal ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌Vidhate

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.

HELLO,

A sore throat usually happens when the lining of your throat becomes irritated due to -cold exposure -viral infection common cold -bacterial infection -pollution -excess talking -reduced immunity -acid reflux sometimes

The soreness inflamed the soft tissues of the throat

WHAT DOES “NON-NECRO Paratracheal lymph node” means? This phrase sounds scary, but it is usually not dangerous

-Your body has many lymph nodes, which acts like checkpoints of your immune system -when there is irritation or infection in the throat, nose, or upper chest, nearby nodes become a little enlarged -Non-necrotic means the inside of the lymph node is healthy- it is NOT infected severely, NOT filled with pus, and NOT showing signs of cancer -Paratracheal simply meals the lymph nodes is located beside the windpipe

This is most likely a reactive lymph node- your body’s normal response to irritation or infection. It often returns to normal within 2-6 weeks once inflammation settles

TREATMENT GOALS

PRIMARY GOALS -reduce throat inflamamtion -supprot immunity -reduce lymph node swelling -prevent secondary bacterial infection -soothe the throat and support faster healing -detoxify the lymphatic system -balance kapha (mucus), pitta (inflamamtion) and vata (irritation)

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SITOPALADI CHURNA + TALISADI CHURNA + YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1 tsp with honey twice daily after meals FOR 15 DAYS = reduces sore throat, cough, and irritation, breaks thick mucus, helps throat dryness and congestion, natural throat soother, good for ry cough, painful throat

2) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 30 days -powderful immuity booster, reduces lymph node swelling, antiinflamamtory

3) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 6 weeks =reduces inflamamtion in glands, supports lymphatic drainage

4) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 14 days =helps body fight infections purifies blood and lymph

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1) WARM OIL MASSAGE ON NECK = KSHEERBALA TAILA -gentle massage for 5-7 minutes followed by warm compress =improves lymphatic drainage, reduces mild swelling, relaxes throat muscles

2) SALT + TURMERIC GARGLE -gargle 3-4 times a day =kills germs , reduces throat inflammation, helps lmphatic congestion

3) STEAM INHALATION -5 min once daily =relieves dryness, dilates throat passages, clears mild congestion

HOME REMEDIES

1) TURMERIC MILK= at night anti inflamatory, healing

2) TULSI GINGER TEA= boil in water= reduces infections risk, soothes throat

3) HONEY+ GINGER JUICE= twice daily =natural antimicrobial and soothing

4) WARM WATER SIPPING= sip throughout the day -avoid cold or room temperature water =helps lymph drainage and reduces throat irritation

DIET - warm water -khichdi -light vegetable soups -steamed veggies -herbal teas- ginger, tulsi, mulethi -turmeric milk -warm rice porridge

AVOID -cold drinks, ice cream -curd, panner, cheese -bananas -tomato, citrus juices if throat is very painful -oily/fried foods -too spicy foods smoking and alcohol

LIFESTYLE -keep throat warm with a scarf -stay away from cold wind -reduce talking -maintain sleep for 7-8 hours -drink warm fluids -take meal on time

AVOID -sudden temperature changes -stress -loud speaking -skipping meals -exposure to dust, smoke

YOGA ASANAS -ujjayi= improves throat circulation -simhasana= relaeases throat tension -bhujangasana= opens chest and eases breathing -marjariasana= enhances lymph flow

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= 57 min -Bhramari= soothes throat -Avoid kapalbhati or bhastrika until throat is fully healed

You most likely have a simple sore throat with a reactive lymph node This is common and usually not harmful

The CT finding “Non necrotic lymph node” is a GOOD sign not bad

Ayurveda can help reduce inflammation, support immunity, and promote lymphatic healing

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

HI Tanya,

U must go through Biopsy

A non-necrotic paratracheal lymph node is a lymph node near the windpipe (trachea) that shows signs of being active but without tissue death (necrosis). These lymph nodes can become enlarged due to various reasons, such as infections, sarcoidosis, or cancer.

so must go through BIOPSY and visit offline to a specialist.

Treatment- 1) Guduchi (Giloy) Satva: 500 mg twice daily for immune modulation and inflammation reduction. 2) Triphala Kwath: 20 ml twice daily to cleanse and detoxify. 3) Kanchnar guguulu 2 tab after crush twice a day with luke warm water 4) Sitopladi churn 1 tsf with honey in morning

Herbal Teas and Decoctions:-

Turmeric milk (Golden Milk):-Mix 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder and a pinch of black pepper into a cup of warm milk and drink before bed for anti-inflammatory and antiseptic benefits.

Ginger, Honey, and Tulsi (Holy Basil) Tea: Boil a few slices of fresh ginger and some tulsi leaves in water, steep, strain, and add honey. This helps reduce inflammation and boost immunity.

Licorice Root (Yashtimadhu): Chew on a small piece of the dried root or boil it in water to make a soothing tea that coats the throat and reduces irritation.

Gargling: Salt Water Gargle: Dissolve 1/2 tsp of salt in a glass of warm water and gargle several times a day to reduce swelling and clear mucus. Turmeric and Salt Gargle: Add 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder and a pinch of salt to warm water for enhanced anti-inflammatory and disinfectant properties.

Dr. Apeksha Saxena
I am working as an Ayurvedic physician with a focus on practical, grounded care—I try to keep things as close to real-life healing as possible, not just theory. Most of the time, I deal with digestive issues, joint pains, hormonal shifts, lifestyle diseases—the kinds of problems that don’t just go away with one pill or one session. I look at the person’s prakriti first, what’s out of balance, where digestion’s breaking down or emotions are stuck, and then start building the treatment around that. Nothing cookie-cutter. My usual method blends classical Panchakarma therapies, simple diet fixes, some herbal meds, maybe routines that match the patient's nature—not always fancy, but it works. I'm not rigid with classical-only, though. If there's a modern wellness tool that fits the Ayurvedic logic, I don't mind adding it in. What matters is the *result*, right? I’ve done quite a bit of online consults too lately—guiding people remotely who didn’t know much about Ayurveda, and still managing to help them get their heads around what’s going wrong in their body. That’s honestly satisfying. Not everyone needs deep detox—sometimes just understanding their agni or daily habits does half the job. And yeah, I try to keep things clear, not preachy. I tend to go deep into patient stories. Not just the chart stuff—how they *feel* stuck or tired or anxious without knowing why. That part matters. Being able to connect and just listen without rushing, I guess that’s my nature. Ayurveda’s something I’m still growing with. I like to keep learning, not just from books but also from how real ppl respond to the treatments. It’s weird, but every case teaches me something new, makes me rethink my approach a bit. My goal’s simple: make Ayurveda easier to understand, and actually helpful for ppl who’re tired of masking symptoms and want long-term fix.

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.

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. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

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

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

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. Manjusha Vikrant Pate
I am practicing Ayurveda since 18+ years now, and honestly... it still surprises me how much I keep learning especially when it comes to skin and hair. My focus—if I had to sum it up—is deeply rooted in Panchakarma, but more specifically in *Upakarma* therapies. These smaller, supportive steps within the Panchakarma frame can be powerful if you adjust them exactly right to a person’s *prakriti*. That’s actually where my attention goes first—understanding their natural constitution. Because once that’s clear, everything else sort of falls in place. I work a lot with chronic and tricky skin issues like pigmentation, hair fall, premature ageing, even stubborn acne that just doesn’t respond to regular creams and pills. And no—I don’t use shortcuts. I rely on traditional protocols, yes, but also create my own Ayurvedic blends—like facemasks, oils, even hair packs. These aren’t random—they're planned, adjusted, dosha-specific, and meant to *actually* support the skin's natural cycle. I’ve spent years refining these formulations, keeping them close to classical wisdom but tweaking them slightly when needed for a person’s lifestyle or condition. Ayurvedic facials in my clinic aren't just glow-up routines. They’re built to go deep—cleanse the layers, calm pitta excess or vata dryness, stimulate sluggish kapha skin... whatever’s needed. And I find that when these treatments are given at the right time, in the right sequence—results show up clearly, not just externally but also in the way ppl feel about themselves. There's a calmness, a reset almost. I don’t push chemical-based stuff, even when patients ask for it. Instead, I educate—like how proper *abhyanga* or a dosha-correct oil can do far more than a synthetic serum. My aim is to blend the core of Ayurveda with practical, everyday guidance. I don't just want patients to come for sessions—I want them to *understand* what's going on in their skin or hair and how to maintain it naturally. Things don’t always go perfect, sometimes I still need to rethink protocols mid-way, but I guess that’s what makes the process human... and real.

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. 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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.
