Hello It‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ is understandable that you are worried about the management of your hypothyroidism along with fatty liver, but do not worry, we will help you out 😊

Your condition reveals two significant points: 1. You cannot discontinue Thyroxin at this moment As: Your TSH is 12 when you stop - this indicates that your thyroid gland is not producing hormones by itself yet. Therefore, 👉 Keep taking Thyroxin 100 mcg daily. 👉 Ayurveda will be a good support for the thyroid function, it will help to subside the inflammation, elevate liver health and eventually dependency will be reduced but the tablet should never be stopped abruptly.

2 Why does your TSH increase so much when you stop Thyroxin Your thyroid gland still has a low functional reserve The gland needs a slow recovery through diet + lifestyle + certain herbs If you stop suddenly, your pituitary will be forced to push TSH very high

Ayurveda works on Agni, liver metabolism & thyroid tissue, however, the decrease of Thyroxin can only be done gradually after successive blood tests.

✅CURRENT MEDICATIONS

Continue these 1. Punarnava It is very good for fatty liver, water retention, and digestion.

2. Varanadi Kashayam Very good for Kapha-type hypothyroidism & fatty liver.

3. Kanchanar Guggulu Keep—helps the thyroid gland & lymphatic system.

Change this: 4. Ashwagandha Churna Good for thyroid (raises T3/T4 slightly) However, in the case of fatty liver, take only ½ tsp at night Or better → change to Ashwagandha tablet for a more consistent dosage

✅ADDITIONAL MEDICATION (very effective)

1 Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food Helps with: Fatty liver (awesome) Metabolism activation Thyroid hormone conversion T4 → T3 Use it for 3 months and then do LFT + TSH again.

2. Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp with warm water before lunch Enhances: Metabolism Thyroxin absorption Liver detoxification Very helpful to patients whose metabolism is still slow even though they are on medication.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅Include Warm, cooked foods Moong dal Millets Vegetables (bottle gourd, ridge gourd, carrot, beetroot) 1 teaspoon ghee daily Lemon water morning Herbal teas: ginger + cinnamon

❌Strictly avoid:

Wheat bread, maida Sugar Deep fried foods Potato Curd at night Coconut milk, cheese Alcohol (very important for fatty liver)

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION 30–40 min brisk walk daily 10 min Anulom–Vilom pranayama Sleep by 10.30 pm Do not nap during the day

✅ Is it possible for you to reduce Thyroxin later? YES — but only gradually & in a scientific manner After 8–12 weeks of following this plan:

👉Repeat tests: TSH T3 T4 Liver function test (LFT) Ultrasound (if fatty liver condition continues)

If TSH level is maintained between 1 and 3, your doctor may lower Thyroxin dose from 100 mcg to 75 mcg but will never stop it completely until the gland gets stable.

Ayurveda is a good way to help this process naturally but it is quite time-consuming.

Do not stop Thyroxin abruptly Keep up with Punarnava, Varanadi, Kanchanar Modify Ashwagandha dose For fatty liver and thyroid metabolism, ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌add arogyavardhini and Trikatu

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

1.Kanchanara Guggulu 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Ashwagandha Churna 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk after meals 3.Shilajit Rasayana 1 capsule daily with warm milk once daily 4.Varanadi Kashayam 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 5.Kalmegh Churna 500 mg twice daily with honey or warm water after meals

🧘‍♀️ Lifestyle & Diet Tips - Continue thyroxine as prescribed; Ayurveda supports but doesn’t replace it - Avoid dairy, fried foods, and sugar; favor steamed vegetables, moong dal, and whole grains - Include turmeric, garlic, flaxseeds, and triphala in your diet - Practice yoga and pranayama daily—especially Surya Namaskar and Bhramari

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.

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,

WHAT IS HYPOTHYROIDISM? Your thyroid gland a small butterfly shaped gland in the neck produces hormones called T4 and T3 These hormones control -energy levels -weight -digestion -mood -menstrual cycles -liver metabolism

In hypothyroidism , the thyroid does not produce, enough hormones-> your brain tries to push it hrder-> TSH increases

WHY YOUR TSH BECOMES 12 WHEN YOU STOP ELTROXIN? Because your thyroid is not producing enough hormone by itself Eltroxin is replacement therapy-> it gives your body the hormone it cannot make

Stopping it= hormone deficiency returns-> TSH rises-> symtpoms comes back

This means you have true hypothyroidism , usually requires lifelong hormone support

WHAT IS FATTY LIVER GRADE 1? Your liver normally contains a little fat In fatty liver extra fat starts collecting inside liver cells

GRADE 1 MEANS -mild fat increase -reversible with lifestyle + medicines -no permenent damage yet

why it happens -hypothyroidism slows metabolism-> fat deposition increases -sedentary lifestyle -high carbohydrates, sweets -stress -overeating -being overweight GOOD NEWS= grade 1 fatty liver for fully reversible

TREATMENT GOALS

FOR HYPOTHYROIDISM -keep TSH between 1-2 -improve metabolism -reduce inflammation -support liver so the hormone works properly -improve digestion -prevent weight gain

FOR FATTY LIVER -reduce fat inside the liver -improve digestion and fat metabolism -reduce overall inflammation -prevent future complications-Grade 2, grade3, fibrosis

In Ayurveda, hypothyroidism resembles -kapha vata imbalance -slow digestive fire -toxin accumulation (ama) -srotorodha - channel blockage

Fatty Liver -kapha + pitta imbalance -accumulation of fat in liver channels -sluggish metabolism

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months = clears glandular swelling, improves lymphatic circulation, helps kapha accumulation in thyroid

2) VARUNDAI KASHAAYA= 20 ml + equal wtaer twice daily after meals for 12 weeks =useful In fatty liver, helps sluggish thyroid, reduces abdominal fat

3) PUNARNAVA GUGGULU= 2 Tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =excellent for liver, rimproes liver enzymes, reduces bloating, helps fatty liver

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily for 3 months = reduces stress, supports T4->T3 conversion, improves energy

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night =detoxification, improves digestion, helps natural weight correction

6) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =one of the best liver cleansing medicines, improves bile secretion, reduces fat in liver

DIET -moong dal -bitter vegtables- karela, methi -bottle gourd, ridge gourd, snake gourd -leafy greens -buttermilk with jeera -ginger, garlic in food -turmeric daily -ragi, millets, oats -papaya, apple, pears

AVOID -sugar, sweets -bakery items -pizza, pasta, refined flour -white rice -cold drinks -fried food -heavy curd at night -alcohol -excess potatoes

PRACTICAL EATING HABITS -eat warm, fresh food -avoid overeating -avoid late night meals -drink warm water

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION -wake up early- supports hormonal balance -30 min brisk walk daily- improves liver fat metabolism -avoid daytime sleeping- increases kapha, worsen fats liver -reduce stress- stress affects thyroid hormones -avoid cold food and drinks- they slow down agni

YOGA FOR HYPOTHYROIDISM AND FATTY LIVER -surya namaskar -bhujangasana -dhanurasana -matsyasaa - setu bandhasana -ardha matsyendrasana These stimulate thyroid gland and improve liver function

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana -bhramari -ujjayi -kapalbhati

HOME REMEDIES -Ginger + lemon water= improves metabolism -Jeera-ajwain - methi water boiled= helps digestion and liver function -Turmeric +black pepper in warm water = reduces inflammation - 1 tsp flax seeds daily= good for fatty liver -1/2 tsp cinnamon in warm water= helps metabolism

-Do not stop thyroxine- your thyroid needs lifelong support -Ayurveda can support, not replace, thyroid hormone -Fatty liver is 100% reversible with diet + lifestyle changes -Keep 2-3 hour gap between thyroxine and Ayurvedic mediicnes -Do yoga + walking daily- more powerful than medicines -Aim for slow and steady lifestyle improvement, not quick fixes -Recheck your blood tests regularly to stay in the safe range

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Managing hypothyroidism alongside a fatty liver requires an integrative approach without abruptly discontinuing thyroxine, unless advised by your healthcare professional. Your practice incorporating Ayurveda is valuable; here’s how you can optimize it:

1. Continue with Punarnava for its hepatoprotective properties, which helps in alleviating excess kapha and promoting liver function. Dosage should be as per the prescription.

2. Varanadi Kashayam effectively assists in reducing meda dhatu (body fat) and supporting metabolism. Taken typically before meals enhances its effect. Confirm the dosage with your Ayurvedic practitioner.

3. Ashwagandha is excellent for reducing stress, supporting the thyroid, and boosting energy levels. However, monitor how it interacts with thyroxine. If you experience any discomfort, consult your doctor to adjust it accordingly.

4. Kanchanara Guggulu is beneficial for balancing kapha disorders and preventing lymphatic congestion, which can be helpful in case of hypothyroidism. Continune it as prescribed.

5. Diet plays a critical role; reduce intake of refined sugars, heavy, oily, and processed foods to ease liver function. Incorporate tri-doshic meals with warming spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric to enhance digestion.

6. Exercise regularly with activities like yoga or brisk walking to stimulate metabolism and aid liver detoxification. Practicing pranayama like Nadi Shodhana can also help in balancing prana and reducing stress.

7. Avoid sudden stopping of thyroxine. Adjustments should only be under medical supervision due to potential imbalances reflected by your TSH level rising when stopped.

Blend these Ayurvedic practices with your current medication regimen. Always consult with your healthcare provider before making substantial changes to ensure safe management of both your conditions.

Hypothyroidism, especially when combined with fatty liver, requires a nuanced approach. While a TSH level of 2 is generally favorable with the thyroxin, the rise when stopping suggests dependency, indicating the thyroid needs support. In Ayurveda, we focus on balancing kapha and agni, crucial in managing both thyroid function and liver health.

First, continue with your prescribed medication, as abrupt discontinuation can destabilize your condition. Integrating Ayurvedic approaches should complement, not replace, conventional treatments. Kanchanara guggulu is beneficial for thyroid function, supporting metabolism, yet must be dosed correctly—usually 1-2 tablets after meals twice a day. Consult your practitioner for precise adjustments.

Punarnava helps in reducing liver inflammation but should be in tandem with dietary moderation. To aid liver health, avoid heavy, fried, or oily foods; favor steamed or boiled preparations. Varanadi kashayam and Ashwagandha are supportive but ensure they’re from a reliable source and taken as per guidance.

Diet and lifestyle are pivotal. Incorporate light exercises, like yoga or brisk walking, to stimulate metabolism and alleviate liver congestion. Ensure regularity in sleep and meals to maintain equilibrium in your bodily rhythms.

A personalized consultation is advised to fine-tune supplement combinations and dosages. It’s crucial to periodically check thyroid levels to adjust thyroxin dose safely, preventing any disruptions in thyroid function. Consult a healthcare provider before making changes to your medication as safety is paramout, especially with synthetic hormones involved.

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. 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. Sumi. S
I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. 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. 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. 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. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. 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.
