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

My urea report 15

Your reports are normal only including urea You can have mosambi juice alternate day or once in 2-3 days its ok

If you want to improve and also maintain kidney health You can take Chandrapraba vati 1-0-1 It is Rasayana ( acts as a rejuvinator for kidneys) It will maintain your kidney health

Or if you want only home remedies Then you can use Gokshura powder 1/2 tap of gokshura in 1 glass of water once daily

Or barley water Boil 1 tbsp barley in 1 litre water for 10-15 min Sip throughout the day

Madam my urea level is 15 it is also normal or not madam my kidneys are well or I need to be concerned about.

See Your Urea 15 (normal range is between 7 to 20 ) = it is absolutely normal Creatinine is 0.7 ( normal value 0.6 to 1.2) = this is also normal Potassium is 4.9 ( normal range is 3.5 to 5.0) = this is also ok borderline but no issues

So all major kidney parameter are normal within range

Just potassium is on borderline but we can reduce it just by diet

✅ Foods to TAKE (Low Potassium) Apple, grapes, papaya, pineapple, watermelon Lauki, tinda, cabbage, cauliflower, beans, carrot, pumpkin Rice, wheat chapati Lemon water (small), jeera water, barley water

❌ Foods to AVOID (High Potassium) Banana, kiwi, avocado, coconut water Tomato, potato, sweet potato, spinach, beetroot, mushrooms Fruit juices, vegetable juices, ORS/electrolyte drinks

You can repeat your KFT after 30 days to be assured that all parameters are normal

There is no any need to be concerned.

Mosambi juice will not affect the kidney but also it is not suggested for electrolyte imbalance situation so instead of mosambi juice u can take only plane water to resolve kidney stone and also in ur condition avoid extra fluid intake take only 1 liter of water per day

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.

Creatinine 0.70 mg/dL — PERFECTLY NORMAL

This means your kidneys are functioning well. No kidney damage. Potassium 4.9 mmol/L — Slightly on the higher side of normal

Normal range: 3.5 – 5.0 Your value is at the upper limit but not dangerous.

Not a problem unless it continues to rise above 5.3–5.5.

So yes, overall everything seems okay, but you should be a little cautious with high-potassium foods.

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

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.

Daily 1 glass mosambi (sweet lime) juice is 100 % safe & actually beneficial for someone with past calcium oxalate stones because: It is rich in citrate → prevents new stone formation Low in oxalate → does not increase stone risk Will not harm kidneys at your current creatinine level You can safely continue or even slightly increase citrus intake

Best choices (1–2 glasses total daily): Mosambi Lemon water (with little salt + mishri) Orange Coconut water

Just follow these 3 rules to never get stones again Total fluid 3–4 litres/day (water + citrus) Reduce salt <5 gm/day, avoid packaged namkeen/chips Daily 30–40 min brisk walk

Your kidneys are in top condition, keep doing exactly what you are doing!

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

If your creatinine is normal then drink weekly twice instead daily In case of potassium with 4.9 it’s better to avoid for few days - especially avoid high potassium diet like fruit juices coconut water coconut It’s just border line it’s should be below 5.2 maintain the same way

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with specialized expertise in Shalakya Tantra, focusing on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the Netra (eyes), Karna (ears), Nasa (nose), Mukha (oral cavity), Danta (teeth), and Shira (head and ENT region). My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your health details clearly.** You have a past history of kidney stones, and currently your creatinine (0.70) and potassium (4.9) are well within the safe range. Since you have no urinary pain or discomfort, your kidneys are functioning normally. The aim of treatment now will be preventing recurrence of stones, supporting kidney filtration, and maintaining electrolyte balance.

🔎 Recommended Investigations (Once every 6–12 months for safety) 1. Renal Function Test (RFT) – to monitor creatinine, urea, electrolytes. 2. Urine Routine & Microscopy – to check crystals or microscopic infection. 3. Ultrasound KUB – to ensure no new tiny stones forming. 4. Serum Uric Acid & Calcium – helps understand stone risk.

💊 Internal Medicines (Kidney stone prevention & safe for your current values)

Phase 1 – 15 days (Detox + Stone prevention) 1. Punarnavadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 30 ml warm water twice daily before food. 2. Gokshuradi Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after meals. 3. Cystone (Himalaya) – 1 tablet twice daily (prevents stone formation).

Phase 2 – 45 days (Kidney strengthening + Electrolyte balance) 1. Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 30 ml warm water twice daily. 2. Punarnavasava – 20 ml with equal water twice daily after food. 3. Chandraprabha Vati – 1 tablet at night (supports healthy urination).

🌿 External & Supportive Therapies 1. Warm water hydration – 2.5–3 liters/day. 2. Jeera + dhania water – sip through the day for crystal prevention. 3. Sitz bath (if burning ever occurs) – warm water with pinch of rock salt.

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle (Very Important) ❌ Avoid: 1. Tomato seeds, spinach (daily), beetroot (excess). 2. Tea/coffee more than 1 cup. 3. Cola drinks / soda. 4. Too much salty, fried, or packaged foods. 5. Excess milk + paneer + cheese (if stones were calcium oxalate). ⚠️ About Mosambi juice: * Drinking 1 glass daily is safe. * Does NOT cause kidney damage. * Helps in hydration and prevents stone formation. * Just avoid adding sugar. ✅ Include: 1. Barley water 2. Coconut water (2–3 times/week, not daily because of potassium) 3. Lemon water 4. Fruits: papaya, apple, mosambi, watermelon 5. Vegetables: lauki, tinda, cucumber, beans, carrots

🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga & Pranayama 1. Pavanamuktasana – improves kidney health 2. Bhujangasana 3. Anulom Vilom – 10 minutes daily 4. Mild walking – 20–30 minutes

🕉️ Follow-up & Duration * Continue medicines for 2 months. * Repeat RFT + Ultrasound after 3 months. * Prevention is lifelong, but improvement in bladder/kidney comfort starts in 2–3 weeks.

✨ With proper hydration, simple diet corrections, and these kidney-safe medicines, you can fully prevent recurrence of stones and maintain excellent kidney function. Your current reports are normal, and nothing is alarming — you’re on the safe side.

Warm regards, Dr.Sumi

Mosambi juice is good to remove kidney stones. But since your potassium is 4.9 you should avoid taking mosambi juice daily. One glass of mosambi juice contains 2-3 mosambi as per size , instead having one mosambi as a whole fruit is more safer than juice, as it will not increase potassium level.

Considering your prior experience with kidney stones, it is understandable to be cautious about your dietary choices. Mosambi juice, or sweet lime juice, can be beneficial due to its vitamin C content and hydration properties, which may support kidney health. However, it is essential to keep a few factors in mind. First, moderation is key. Consuming one glass a day should be safe, but overconsumption of citrus juices can potentially increase the risk of calcium oxalate stones, especially if you have a history of them.

Your creatinine level of 0.70 mg/dL appears to be within the normal range, indicating normal kidney function. Similarly, a potassium level of 4.9 mmol/L is generally considered normal, albeit close to the upper limit. It suggests you don’t have immediate electrolyte imbalance issues, but it’s essential to monitor these levels occasionally, especially if you change your diet or lifestyle.

In Ayurveda, preventing kidney stones can involve dietary and lifestyle modifications. Aim to have a balanced diet that avoids excessive intake of oxalate-rich foods such as spinach, rhubarb, and nuts. Consume plenty of water throughout the day to flush out the kidneys and maintain healthy urine flow. It’s also good to incorporate Ayurvedic herbs like Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) which helps in maintaining renal health. Ayurvedic tradition also emphasizes maintaining the health of the digestive fire, or “Agni.” Ensure this by eating meals at regular intervals and avoiding heavy, cold, and oily foods which can disturb the digestion.

If you’re considering altering your juices or any other aspect of your diet significantly, it may be wise to consult with a healthcare provider familiar with both Ayurvedic and conventional medical principles to tailor advice to your specific prakriti, or body constitution. If any symptoms like pain in flanks or difficulty urinating arise, seek medical attention promptly.

I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

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. 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. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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. Anupriya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

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.
