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.

You are 100 % safe – no need to worry at all. Creatinine 0.70 → excellent kidney function Potassium 4.9 → perfectly normal (safe range 3.5.0–5.2)

Daily 1 glass mosambi juice for >6 months is completely harmless and actually protective for kidneys and past stone history because: It gives natural citrate → prevents new stones Very low oxalate → no stone risk Does not raise potassium dangerously at your levels below 5.5–6.0

You can safely continue 1–2 glasses daily (mosambi, lemon water, orange, coconut water – all are good for you). Just keep drinking 3–4 L total fluids/day and low salt – your kidneys are in great shape!

As your creatinine is normal you can consume regularly but currently your potassium is 4.9 which is borderline so avoid any fruit juice for few days like to say for 3 days including banana once recheck it if it’s normal then yu can consume but instead of taking regularly make it weekly twice or thrice Now it’s just a borderline so need not to worry If yu drink now again it may rise so hold for few days

Hello I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ get what you are saying but we are here to answer all your questions 😊

✅ Short Answer: Yes, mosambi juice is generally safe

One glass of mosambi juice daily will NOT cause kidney failure, and your potassium level 4.9 is still within the normal range. However… since you have a history of kidney stones, you should definitely know some important points.

✅Mosambi Juice & Kidney Stones – Safe or Not? Safe for most people Mosambi (sweet lime) is very nutritious with: Vitamin C Potassium Natural citrate (which helps in preventing the formation of stones!)

In fact, citrate is the one that prevents calcium stones, so if anything mosambi is often quite helpful.

✅When Mosambi May Not Be Safe Imagine that you are in one of the following situations: High potassium (Hyperkalemia) Chronic kidney disease (CKD) GFR < 60

Then you need to put an end to high-potassium fruits. Your potassium = 4.9 Normal range = 3.5–5.0 Your value is a little bit high, but it is still normal

Hence one glass daily is not harmful.

✅Can Mosambi Cause Kidney Failure?

❌ Certainly NO. Mosambi is not the culprit for kidney failure and does not in any way contribute to such a condition. What mainly leads to kidney failure are: Diabetes High BP Chronic dehydration Recurrent stones Kidney infections

None of the above can be caused by mosambi.

✅ Best Way for You to Drink Mosambi Juice –1 glass per day is okay – Consume fresh, not packaged –Do not put additional sugar in your juice – Consuming 2–3 liters water daily will keep you stone-free

❌ Do not Consume Mosambi if… Should you stop mosambi only if: Potassium goes over 5.3 You get CKD

✅ Diet Tips to Avoid Future Kidney Stones

Make sure to consume 2.5–3L water on a daily basis Put lemon in water (very high in citrate) Cut salt

❌ Don’t: Over eat spinach Eat tomato seeds Chocolate Cola Over consume tea Too much casual nuts

✅ Your RFT is normal = No need to worry about your kidneys at the moment Because: No symptoms Potassium = normal Stone passed RFT normal

👉 Mosambi juice is good for you on a ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌daily basis

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Creatinine with 0.7 indicates that your kidney function is filtrating well and a potassium level of 4.9 is on higher side of normal but not at a point where you need to worry What matters is keeping your hydration diet and mineral balance steady so that stone doesn’t form again And potassium doesn’t drift further Drinking one glass of mosambi juice is generally safe but in some people too much sugary foods can irritate kidney

If you are extracting at home not adding sugars not taking small glass is fine

HELLO,

You previously had kidney stones, and the stone has now passed Your current kidney reports show -Creatinine= 0.70 mg/dL-> normal -Potassium= 4.9 mEq/L-> Upper normal but still safe -Urine output= Normal -Symptoms= None -Daily water intake= 2-3 L-> good

This means -your kidneys are working normally -Noactive stone problem right now -No signs of kidney damage -You are generally safe, but must prevent stones from coming back

Kidney stones tend to recur in many people, so prevention is extremely important.

WHY KIDNEY STONES FORM Kidney stones are like small crystals of salt that slowly combine and grow inside your kidney because -NOT ENOUGH WATER-> urine becomes thick -TOO MUCH SALT IN DIET -LOW CITRATE- a natural stone preventing chemical -CERTAIN FOODS= spinach, beetroot, nuts, tea etc -HIGH URIC ACID OR CALCIUM OXALATE in urine -GENETIC TENDENCYY Just like sugar crystallises at the bottom of a glass when there is less water, kidney salts crystallise when there is less urine.

In Ayurveda, kidney stones are called “Mutrashmari” which means hard formations in the urinary tract

REASONS ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA

1) POOR DIGESTION -creates undigested particles-> increase In toxins (ama)

2) IMBALANCE OF VATA AND PITTA -VATA=> causes dryness + stone movement pain -PITTA=> increase heat-> concentrate urine-> leads to stone formation -KAPHA=>provides the sticky base on which the stone forms

3) DEHYDRATION= insufficient urine makes crystals combine

4) DIETARY CAUSES= heavy, sour, salty foods

TREATMENT GOALS -prevent new stones from forming -remove small crystals / early stone formation -keep kidneys functioning well -reduce heat from urinary system -improve digestion and metabolism -reduce stone forming foods

INTERNAL PLAN

1) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU = 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months = clears urinary tract, improves kidney strength, anti-inflammatory

2) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 2 months = balances metabolism, prevents crystal formation, works as a urinary antiseptic

3) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 20 ml+ equal water twice daily before meals for 3 months = stone breaking properties, prevents recurrence, clears toxins

4) PUNARNAVA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after meals for 2 months =reduces swelling, improves kidney filtration, helps flush toxins

5) PASHANBHEDA CAPSULES= 500mg twice daily after meals for 2 months = literally meals stone breaker, dissolves early stage crystals

DIET

HIGH CITRATE FOODS -lemon -mosambi (safe for you)- Mosambi juice is safe for most people, It provides citrate which helps prevent kidney stone formation, It does not cause kidney damage, 1 GLASS / Day is safe -Orange -pineapple -amla

SAFE VEGETABLES -lauki -cucumber -carrot -pumpkin -ash gourd - beans

HYDRATING DRINKS -coconut water -buttermilk -lemo water -cumin coriander water

SAFE PROTEINS -dal -chickpeas in small amount -panner (limited)

AVOID These increase calcium,oxalate stones

HIGH OXALATE FOODS -spinach -beetroot -tomato seeds -nuts almonds, cashews, peanuts -soy products -chocolate -excess tea/coffee

HIGH-SALT FOODS -pickles -chips -bakery products -ready made snacks

HIGH ANIMAL PROTEIN FOODS -red meat -organ meat -highprotein gym powders

HOME REMEDIES -Lemon + warm water= drink 1-2 lemons daily =increases urine citrate-> prevents stone formation

-Coriander + cumin water= reduces heat, helps kidney filtration drink warm

-Barley water= excellent diuretic, helps prevent stone recurrence

-Kulthi dal soup= horse gram classical remedy for stones, helps breaks down crystals use 2-3 times per week NOT DAILY, avoid if too thin

YOGA FOR KIDNEY HEALTH -pawanmuktasana= helps abdominal organs -bhujangasana= increases kidneys blood flow -ardha matsyendrasana= improves urinary system -vajrasana= improves digestion -dhanurasana= relieves urinary congestion

Do not perform during active stone pain

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances kidneys -sheetali/sheetkari= reduces urinaryheat -bhastrika= only if no abdominal pain

Do for 10-15min daily

Your kidneys are healthy right now Mosambi juice is SAFE and even beneficial Your potassium is slightly high-normal but not dangerous The biggest risk for you is stone recurrence, not kidney damage -Ayurveda can help keep your kidneys strong and prevent new stones -Follow diet + hydration + medications + lifestyle consistently

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

You’re safe: Drinking one glass of mosambi juice daily is generally not harmful to kidney function or potassium levels if your potassium is 4.9 and creatinine is 0.70, and you have no symptoms. However, mild past kidney issues warrant gentle monitoring.

- Since you’ve had mild kidney issues in the past, it’s wise to: - Avoid excessive citrus intake (more than 2 glasses/day). - Monitor potassium-rich foods like bananas, coconut water, and tomatoes. - Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet.

If your potassium level 4.9 is near normal, it is best to avoid taking daily. You can take twice a week., Your s. Creatinine levels are good, no need to worry about kidney damage or failure.

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.

Drinking mosambi juice daily is generally safe for most people, but it’s important to consider your individual health condition. Considering your reported potassium level of 4.9 and creatinine level of 0.70, these values are typically within the normal range and don’t immediately suggest kidney distress. However, moderation is key.

In Ayurveda, mosambi, also known as sweet lime, is a cooling citrus fruit that supports digestion and can balance Pitta dosha. The key here is balance rather than overindulgence. Excessive consumption of citrus juices hmay slightly elevate potassium levels, important for individuals with kidney issues. But your current levels don’t raise immediate alarms.

If you choose to drink mosambi juice daily, monitor any bodily signals. Dizziness, swelling, or irregular heartbeats can hint at an imbalance. Usually, a glass a day doesn’t pose significant risks, but regular checks are prudent. In Ayurveda, the principle of “sama” — balance — is stressed, so incorporate variety: fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, ensuring a well-rounded intake.

Enhancing your digestive fire or “agni” could help in metabolizing nutrients without overwhelming your system. You might consider adding a pinch of organic cumin powder or fennel to aid in digestion. Consumption during mid-morning or as an evenign snack aligns with natural body rhythms, avoiding early mornings.

If you have specific concerns or partcular symptoms, consulting a healthcare provider is advisable. Especially if clincial conditions have altered since your last check-up. Proper hydration, exercise, and diverse diet also contribute to overall well-being. While Ayurveda provides insights into holistic health, it works best when integrated with modern medical advice, ensuring patient safety always.

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. 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. 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. 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. S. Susitha Lekshmi
I am honestly trying to sum up my 10+ years in Ayurveda, and sometimes I feel like the words don’t fully catch what those years really meant. I worked across different setups, a mix of opd days, longer case followups and those moments where I had to rethink a treatment plan because the patient wasn’t responding the way I first expectd. Those things shaped me more than any textbook page honestly. I focus a lot on understanding how a person’s routine n habits shape their health, and I use classical Ayurvedic principles to guide most decisions… though there are days when I go back and recheck the basics again to make sure I am doing it right. My work in these years has made me comfortable handling a wide range of cases, from common digestive trbls to joint issues and skin concerns, and sometimes the more slow-moving lifestyle disorders where patience becomes a kind of treatment too. I try to keep my consultasions more like a conversation than a prescription-giving moment. I’ve seen how patients open up when they realise I’m looking for the root cause, not just the symptom. Diet correction, daily routine fixes, small mind-body adjustments—these things are simple but they shift a lot when done properly, and I’ve watched that happen dozens of times. I also keep learning, even now, sometimes going through old notes or attending quick sessions to refresh things I might have overlooked. And somewhere in these years, I think I developed a steady kind of confidence—not loud, just practical—that comes from seeing what works again and again. I’m still refining my approach, still figuring better ways to guide people, but my aim stayed same through all these years: offer care that feels real, personal, rooted in Ayurveda and still adaptable to the way people live today.

Dr. Nayan Wale
I am working in medical field for total 7 years, out of which around 4 years was in hospital setup and 3 years in clinic practice. Hospital work gave me strong base, long duty hours, different type of cases, emergencies sometimes, and learning under pressure. Clinic work is different, slower but deeper, where I sit with patients, listen more, explain things again n again, and follow them over time. In hospital I handled day to day OPD cases, routine management, and also assisted seniors when things got complicated. That phase shaped my clinical thinking a lot, even now I sometimes catch myself thinking like hospital mode when a case looks serious. Clinic practice on the other hand taught me patience. Patients come with chronic issues, expectations, doubts, sometimes fear, and I had to adjust my approach accordingly. I focus on practical treatment planning, not just diagnosis on paper. Some days I feel I should have more time with each patient, but I try to balance it. My experience across hospital and clinic helps me understand both acute care and long term disease management. I still keep learning everyday, reading, observing patterns, correcting myself when needed, because medicine never stays same for long, and neither should the doctor.

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. 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.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

Dr. 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. Vrushali Vaidya
I am currently in my 2nd year of postgrad residency in Prasuti Tantra evam Stree Roga (M.S. in Obstetrics & Gynaecology) at a reputed ayurveda institute in Pune. Right now, my whole day pretty much revolves around clinicals, OPD rounds, IPD work, deliveries, and understanding how Ayurved looks at women's health—not just disease by disease but as a full, connected system. It’s intense but also kind of amazing how much we can do with the right combination of classical knowledge n present-day tools. My focus is on menstrual disorders, infertility, PCOD, antenatal/postnatal care and basically all things that come under hormonal balance n reproductive care. Whether it’s irregular periods or low back pain in 9th month, I try to see the root, not just the label. I’m also involved in Panchakarma protocols—mainly tailored for stree roga—and yeah, sometimes even simple procedures like yoni pichu or basti when done right can make a big shift. That’s something I’ve seen in real time. I work closely with seniors on both clinical diagnosis and designing personalized treatment plans—always thinking about prakriti, vikriti, and also the woman’s mental n emotional space. No one’s just a “PCOD patient” to me—each one has her own story, her own rhythm, and I respect that. I like combining shodhan therapy, aahar advice, rasayana, and sometimes just small daily tweaks. Yoga and breathing practices also play a big part in how I support my patients. Doesn’t matter if they’re 16 or 46—every stage brings its own set of changes, n we need to adapt with care. I also learn to correlate modern diagnostics when needed—blood reports, scans—bcz integration matters. My aim isn’t to pick between Ayurved or modern—it’s to choose what helps her the most in that moment. My goal is to create a space where women feel heard, guided and supported—whether they’re trying to conceive, dealing with pain or just wanting to feel more in sync with their own body again.
