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.

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

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 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.

I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

Dr. Sumit Verma
I am Dr. Sumit Verma, a BAMS practitioner who has spent years working with patients dealing with a wide range of chronic diseases — sometimes simple, sometimes deeply complex. My focus is on evidence-based Ayurvedic treatment and holistic care, because I genuinely belive healing isn’t just about fixing one symptom, it’s about understanding the entire system behind it. Over time, I’ve treated conditions linked to metabolism, helped people manage long-term issues like PCOD and diabetes, and worked with many gastrointestinal problems — things like chronic hyperacidity, bloating, irregular digestion, and even hyper tension which often hides deeper imbalances. Skin health is another area I care about a lot. Cases of psoriasis, eczema, acne — they’re not just skin-deep, they usually tell a bigger story about what’s happening inside the body. My approach always starts with a detailed diagnosis (I can’t rush that part even if I wanted to), followed by root-cause treatment, and then lifestyle modifications that make the results last. Sometimes it means slow progress, but real healing takes time and consistency — I tell this to almost every patient. One thing I hold onto strongly is a patient-first way of working. Every person who walks in has a different body, different patterns, and different challenges, so treatment should be just as individual. I try to listen carefully, even to the things patients think are “not important,” because they often hold the key to figuring out what’s really going on. I’m still learning, always refining how I blend classical Ayurvedic knowledge with practical, modern needs. It’s not always perfect — sometimes I question if I’m doing enough — but my goal is to guide each patient toward better balance, not just quick relief. That’s what makes this work meaningful to me.

Dr. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

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

Dr. Mohit Kakkar
I am a BAMS-qualified Ayurvedic physician from Jalandhar, Punjab, and I work with a deep interest in blending classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern telemedicine care. My practice is largely consultation based, reaching patients across the country through online platforms, which still feels new sometimes but works well. Till now I have served more than 500 patients through teleconsultations, mostly chronic cases where consistency really matters more than quick fixes. I focus on understanding each patient through dosha assessment, mainly balancing Vata, Pitta, Kapha using individualized treatment plans and nutrition guidance. Around 85% symptom relief has been seen in chronic conditions, though outcomes vary and need patience. I rely on personalised diet, daily routine correction, and classical Ayurvedic medicines. Some days are challenging, but seeing people feel lighter, sleep better, or regain control over health keeps me going. My aim stays simple,, long term wellness through practical Ayurveda, not rushed solutions.

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. 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. Posam Siva Priyanka
I am working in the field of Ayurveda with special focus on surgical and para-surgical management, something that many people don’t usually expect Ayurveda to handle. Over the past 3 years and 7 months I gained clinical experience especially in anorectal disorders like piles, fissures and fistula, which often trouble patients silently until they become unbearable. These are conditions where Ayurveda offers very effective approaches, not only through medicines but also through para-surgical procedures. One such method is Ksharasutra therapy, a technique I practiced regularly, where medicated thread is used to treat fistula-in-ano and other chronic conditions. It is minimally invasive but require patience, regular follow up, and careful application. Similarly, I trained in Agnikarma, which uses controlled thermal cauterization for pain relief and management of small surgical conditions. Both of these methods are rooted in classical Ayurveda but highly relevant in modern surgical practice too. Alongside that, I also worked with various Panchakarma procedures—oleation, sudation, basti, virechana etc.—that support recovery, reduce inflammation and restore balance in patients undergoing surgical or para-surgical care. Many times, Panchakarma is not just therapy by itself but a preparatory or supportive process that makes outcomes more effective. Currently I am pursuing postgraduation in Shalya Tantra, the Ayurvedic branch of surgery. This allows me to deepen my understanding of both operative and para-operative techniques, while also staying rooted in the holistic principles of Ayurveda. It’s demanding, balancing study and practice, but it keeps me constantly improving. For me surgery in Ayurveda is not only about removing disease but about restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life without unnecessary complications. Each patient is different, and the treatment plan always need adjustment—it is never copy paste medicine. That is something I keep learning again and agian.

Thanks for breaking it down so clearly! I hadn't realized how long curd-rice could end up being risky. Definitely helpful to know.
