Hi Anil,

1.Simhnada guggulu 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Brahmi Ghrita 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime 3.Ashwagandha capsules 2 cap twice daily with warm milk after meals 4.Saraswatarishta 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 5.Shadbindu taila-2 drops in each nostril in the morning

🥗 Diet Tips - Warm, cooked foods: Favor soups, stews, khichdi, and lightly spiced vegetables. Avoid raw/cold foods. - Healthy fats: Ghee, sesame oil, and olive oil nourish nerves and reduce dryness. - Spices for circulation: Ginger, turmeric, cumin, and black pepper in moderation. - Avoid stimulants: Limit coffee, excess tea, and processed foods that aggravate Vata. - Hydration: Warm water or herbal teas (tulsi, ginger) throughout the day. - Regular meals: Eat at consistent times; skipping meals worsens Vata imbalance.

🧘 Lifestyle & Routine - Daily Abhyanga (oil massage): Warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan Taila applied to neck, shoulders, and scalp before a warm shower. - Stress management: Practice meditation, yoga nidra, or pranayama (especially Anulom Vilom and Bhramari). - Gentle yoga: Neck stretches, Shavasana, Balasana (child’s pose), and Setu Bandhasana (bridge pose) to release stiffness. - Sleep hygiene: Go to bed by 10 pm; deep, regular sleep calms Vata. - Avoid overexertion: Reduce long hours at screens; take breaks to stretch and relax eyes/neck. - Warm environment: Protect yourself from cold drafts; Vata aggravates in cold/dry climates.

Warm Regards Dr.Anjali Sehrawat

Hello​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Anil ji, I absolutely comprehend how unsettling and frightening a one-sided head and neck feeling of tightness can be especially when it causes your eye alignment to change and makes your daily activities difficult. However, don’t worry, we are here to assist you 😊

✅ AYURVEDIC VIEW AND PROBABLE CAUSES

Your symptoms sound like a mixture of: 👉Vata Vyadhi (chronic Vata aggravation) Due to: Long stress Overthinking Irregular routine Poor sleep Vata becomes aggravated and migrates to the right side of Shirah (head) and Greeva (neck).

This results in: –Tightness / stiffness – Heaviness around the eye –Trapezius and mastoid muscle tension – Difficulty in proper eye focus/alignment –Occasional nerve-like pulling pain

👉Cervical Spondylosis

The tightness that is spreading to: Right side of the neck Behind the ear indicates that the occipital nerve + cervical muscles are involved.

👉 Stress + Eye Strain

Stress, which is the main cause of Vata, leads to: –Eye strain – Pulsating stiffness – Difficulty in relaxing the eye muscles

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

1 Ekangveer Ras – 1-0-1 After food (One of the best medicines for one-sided nerve stiffness, cervical nerve involvement.)

2 Brahmi Capsule 1 capsule each, at night (Calms the mind, relieves stress Vata, helps the head and neck muscles to relax.)

3 Yograj Guggul – 1-0-1 After lunch and dinner (Muscular stiffness and nerve compression are the main causes of the pain, the medicine takes the pain away.)

4 Ksheerabala 101 capsule 1 capsule at night with warm water (Among the best Ayurvedic medicines for chronic Vata of the head and neck.)

✅ EXTERNAL CARE

Your condition will greatly improve with these methods rather than with tablets.

👉Mahanarayan Taila Hot Massage Daily apply the warm oil on: Neck Behind the ear Shoulder joint Massage gently for 10 minutes follow with hot fomentation.

👉 Shiro Abhyanga (Head massage) Use: Ksheerabala Taila Every night before sleep. ( Helps to relieve tightness in the scalp and eye strain.)

👉Eye strain relief

Soak cotton in rose water + cold water Put it on the eyes for 10 minutes Right eye muscles get relaxed.

✅HOME REMEDIES

1. Warm Ghee + Milk at Night 1 cup warm milk + 1 tsp ghee Vata balancing Better sleep Soothes brain and neck nerves.

2. Ginger + Ajwain Hot Water Take sips throughout the day Helps in the reduction of stiffness and dryness inside the nerves.

3. Hot compress with rock salt Put rock salt in a cloth, heat it slightly, and apply on the area that is stiff. Great for muscle relaxation.

4. Breathing Exercise (Most Important) Anulom-Vilom 10 minutes morning + evening Very effective in relieving the right-sided tension.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

✔️Eat more Warm cooked food Ghee Soups, khichdi Almonds (soaked) Dates milk Turmeric Garlic

❌Avoid: Cold foods & drinks Excess tea/coffee Long screen time Sleeping late Mentally stressing working without breaks

Your symptoms are typical of a Vata-related disorder of the head and neck, which is very treatable with Ayurveda.

With regular treatment for 6–8 weeks, you will be significantly ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌relieved from this stiffness

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Hello Anil

From what you have mentioned the constant tightness on the right side of the head, the pulling sensation around the right eye, this stiffness behind the year, and this pattern usually comes from a long-standing imbalance in the nurse and muscles over the head neck When the nerve is on one side, stay irritated for months or years. The muscles around that area become dry tight and contracted. Slowly. The entire side starts feeling heavy, pulled and stiff from inside and many patient describe it exactly, Asif right brain itself feels tight, even the difficulty in aligning the right eye can happen because the tiny muscle around the eye gets trained when there is constant tension along the neck and the area behind the ear

This happens, mostly when the upper neck joined the base of the skill and it tissues behind the ear lose their normal flexibility The circulation on that side becomes slightly reduced with use a deep dull man side tightness.stress, Long hours of screen use , sleeping on one side or past injury can make it worse This is a treatable condition, but it responds best when the muscle and nerves are softened lubricated And warmed regularly rather than only through tablets You can start on Maharasnadi guggulu Rasnasaprakam 1 tablet twice daily after food Dashamoola aristha 4 teaspoon with equal amount of water twice daily after meals Ashwagandha churna 1/2 of teaspoon with warm milk at night Brahmi gritha 1 tsp at morning Mahanarayana taila-gentle Massage to be done After oil application, use mild steam only on the right neck and behind the ear area Avoid sleeping on the right side Do eye exercise exercises Do not get overstrain Avoid exposure to cold Do mild neck exercises If you’re getting dizziness or weakness, then better to get MRI cervical spine and brain

Namaste Anil ji

Thank you for sharing detailed description of your symptoms Right side stiffness involving the head, neck area around the eye and the region behind the ear , and sometimes affecting the eye alignment. Ayurveda, this pattern is typically understood as an aggravation of. Vata Dosha which governs movement and the nervous system, when vata becomes excessive or trapped, it can produce dryness, restriction, and localised tension The fact that the discomfort is one-sided, suggest a localised accumulation of vata possibly exacerbated by cold exposure, irregular routine or mental strain To address the current symptoms and to restore balance, the following approach combines external application and internal Ayurvedic support, dietary guidance and lifestyle adjustment . first of all, you can take warm, sesame oil, and gently massage into right side of the neck, shoulders, scalp, and the area behind the ear using slow clockwise/for 5 to 7 minutes, follow the massage with a warm compress ( towel soaked in hot water)-keep it for 3 to 5 minutes-do it twice daily Do nasya with anu taila -one drop to each nostril Internally start on Ashwagandha capsule Brahmi vati Trayodashanga guggulu Each tablets two times in a day after food with warm water Jatamamsi churna-1/4 th teaspoon with warm water with once daily Triphala churna-1 teaspoon with warm water at night If you find the stiffness intensifies after exposure to cold wind or after prolonged mental work, a weekly shirodhara session-( where medicated oil is poured over forehead) will provide some benefit For a more targeted vata balance-Panchakarma procedure is beneficial

In diet, take warm, cooked meals, easy to digest food soups stews cooked vegetables Avoid cold beverages raw salads, excessive cafe, especially in the evening as they can agrevate vata Keep yourself hydrated and drink warm water throughout the day Sleep before 10:30 PM Yoga posters like cat cow , forward, banks, and simple neck rotation will be beneficial Practice Nadi Shodana for 5 to 10 minutes,

After 2 to 3 weeks of consistent practice, evaluate any changes in the intensity or frequency of these stiffness If there is little improvement or if new visual disturbances, develop, please see a face to face consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a more individualised assessment and possible adjustment of the regimen

Dr. Soukhya Hiremath
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.

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.

Hello Anil,

Thank you for describing your symptoms so clearly. Your chronic right-sided head stiffness, neck tightness, periorbital strain, and difficulty aligning the right eye — especially worsening with stress — suggest a Vata-Pitta imbalance, along with Mamsa Dhatu (muscle) stiffness and Urdhwajatrugata Vata (head & neck Vata disturbance). The treatment aim will be to reduce Vata, relax neck–cranial muscles, improve nerve conduction, reduce eye strain, and calm stress-induced flare-ups.

🔎 Recommended Investigations 1. Cervical spine X-ray (or MRI if symptoms are severe) – to check for spondylosis, nerve compression. 2. Vitamin D3 & B12 levels – deficiencies commonly cause muscle tightness and nerve issues. 3. Thyroid profile – thyroid imbalance can worsen muscle tension. 4. Eye evaluation (refraction + muscle balance test) – to rule out convergence insufficiency or extraocular muscle strain. 5. Blood pressure check – stress-related stiffness can correlate with fluctuations.

💊 Internal Medicines Phase 1 – 15 days (Vata–Pitta Shamana & Muscle Relaxation) 1. Ksheerabala 101 (Capsule or drops) – 1 capsule or 10 drops at bedtime with warm water. Excellent for nerve and head–neck Vata calming. 2. Gandharvahastadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 30 ml of warm water twice daily before food. Reduces stiffness, improves circulation, relieves trapped Vata. 3. Sukumar Ghritam – 1 tsp early morning empty stomach. Lubricates nerves, reduces dryness, relieves head tightness.

Phase 2 – 45 days (Nadi-Pushti & Muscle Strengthening) 1. Brahmi Vati (Plain) – 1 tablet twice daily. Calms overactive stress pathways & supports eye coordination. 2. Ashwagandha Arishta – 15 ml with equal warm water after meals. Relieves muscle tension + stress. 3. Dhanwantharam Gulika – 1 tablet twice daily after meals. Classic formulation for neck–shoulder stiffness & nerve strength. 4. Saptamrita Lauha – 1 tablet twice daily after food. Excellent for eye strain, dryness, and periorbital stiffness. 🌿 External & Supportive Therapies 1. Abhyanga (Oil Massage) – warm Mahanarayana taila or Ksheerabala taila Apply over neck, shoulders, behind the ear, and right side of head 4 times per week before warm bath Deeply relieves nerve tension.

2. Nadi Swedana (Localized steam) Steam only on right neck, behind ear, and side of head After oil massage Releases stiffness instantly.

3. Shiroabhyanga (Head massage) With Brahmi oil or Neelibhringadi before sleep Improves brain-muscle coordination. 4. Netra Tarpana (Only under supervision) For chronic eye strain & alignment issues

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations ❌ Avoid: 1. Cold foods, refrigerated water 2. Long screen time without breaks 3. Sleeping late (increases Vata) 4. Skipping meals 5. Excess spicy or sour foods (triggers Pitta near eyes)

✅ Include: 1. Warm, fresh meals with ghee 2. Spices: ginger, cumin, ajwain, turmeric 3. Warm water throughout the day 4. A cup of Brahmi tea or ashwagandha milk at night 5. Regular meals, early dinner (before 8 pm)

🧘🏻‍♂️ Yoga & Pranayama * Gentle Asanas (Daily) * Supta Baddha Konasana * Shashankasana * Viparita Karani (10 minutes) * Neck rotation & isometric neck exercises Helps release cervical nerve and eye-muscle tension. * Pranayama * Anulom–Vilom – 10 min * Bhramari – 10 rounds (fantastic for head pressure) * Nadi Shuddhi – reduces eye & head strain

🕉️ Follow-up & Duration * Expect gradual relief in 4–6 weeks * Significant improvement in alignment & stiffness in 8–12 weeks * Continue nerve-strengthening medicines for 3 months

With consistent therapy, neck–cranial tension and right-sided eye strain usually settle well. Healing the Vata pathway takes patience, but results are steady and long-lasting.

With kind regards, Dr. Sumi

HELLO,

Your symptoms include -stiffness on right side of the head/brain region -tightness around the right eye -stiffness behind the right ear -neck pain and stiffness on the same side -symptoms worsen during stress -difficulty aligning of focusing the right eye sometimes

Ayurveda views this as a disturbance in the vata dosha, particularly 1)Prana vata= controls the brain, eyes, head , concentration

2)Vyana vata= controls muscle movement, circulation

3)Udana vata= controls neck, head and coordination

4) Kapha accumulation= causing heaviness and congested feeling behind ear/eye

When vata becomes imbalanced (due to stress, irregular lifestyle, excessive screen use, lack of sleep, anxiety) , it causes -tightening of scalp and neck muscles -reduced blood flow to one side of the head -eye strain and difficulty focusing -A pulling or stiff sensation -Increased sensitivity to stress

You are essentially experiencing -chronic vata imbalance in the right side of head-neck-eye complex, along with mild kapha blockage -This leads to muscle guarding, nerve strain, eye muscle fatigue, and asymmetrical tension

This is not uncommon but the chronic duration makes it important to treat thoroughly

TREATMENT GOALS -balance aggravated vata -relax and heal head and neck muscles -improve nerve nourishment in the right side -improve blood circulation to the eye, head, and neck -reduce stress- induced tightening -remove kapha blockage behind ear/eye -enhance eye muscle coordination -remove toxins (ama) from muscle tissue

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =classic formula for chronic neck stiffness, breaks vata-kapha blockage, relieves muscle knots and nerve compression

2) KSHEERNALA 101 CAPSULE= 1 cap at bedtime for 2 months =nourishes cranial nerves, very effective for one sided head tension

3) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp daily after food with warm milk for 12 weeks = calms prana vata, reduces stress-triggered muscle tightening, strengthens nerves and improves sleep

4) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =improves brain circulation, reduces head pressure, supports eye brain coordination, clears fogginess

5) TAGAR CAPSULE= 250mg at night for 4 weeks =relaxes deep head and neck muscles, improves sleep quality (which is important for vata)

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE= DHAMWANTARAM TAILA -daily or 4-5 times/week -focus on neck,behind ear, temples, side of head, shoulder =reduces vata in neck and scalp, relaxes tensed muscles, opens blood flow to the right side, reduces nerve irritation

Chronic tightness, especially around the head, neck, and eye areas may indicate an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and neural functions. To address these symptoms, you might consider a multi-faceted approached grounded in ayurvedic wisdom.

First, start with Abhyanga, a daily self-massage using warm sesame oil. Focus on gently massaging the scalp, neck, and behind the ears. This process aids in pacifying Vata and relaxing tense muscles. Allocate about 15 minutes for the massage, then bathe or shower to remove the excess oil afterward. If allergic to sesame oil, try almond oil as an alternative.

Dietary adjustments can also play a pivotal role. Include warm, cooked meals with a focus on oily, soft, and nourishing foods – like kitchari, soups, and stews. Favor spices such as ginger, turmeric, and asafoetida to promote circulation and digestion, which supports Vata balance. Ensure regular meals, avoiding excess cold, raw or dry foods.

Incorporate breathing exercises such as Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) to calm the nervous system. Spend at least 10 minutes in the morning and another 10 in the evening on this pranayama for effective results. Deep, slow breathing helps alleviate stress and tension, which often exacerbate Vata disturbances.

For more localized relief, apply a warm compress to the affected areas around the eye and neck. A cloth dipped in warm water, squeezed out, and placed on the stiff regions for 5-10 minutes can ease discomfort. Avoid ice or cold packs as they can increase Vata imbalance.

Avoid excessive screen time and engage in gentle activities such as yoga or Tai Chi, which focus on fluid movements without strain. Lastly, it would be wise to consult a healthcare professional immediately to rule out any serious underlying conditions, as persistent head and neck tightness could signify critical issues requiring medical attention.

Chronic tightness in the right brain extending to the neck, eye, and area behind the ear may be associated with vata and pitta imbalance in the Siddha-Ayurvedic context. Firstly, it’s crucial to ensure this condition isn’t related to any serious neurological issues. Consultation with a neurologist is advised to rule out any critical concerns.

In terms of Ayurvedic approaches, start with a focus on balancing vata. Incorporate warm, nourishing foods into your diet that are grounding—think warm soups and stews with spices like ginger and turmeric which help in reducing inflammation and vata disturbance. Try minimizing cold, dry, and raw foods which can aggravate vata.

Daily self-massage (abhyanga) using warm sesame oil can aid in relieving tension. Focus on the right neck side, servicing the area around the shoulder and base of the skull to the extent possible. Follow this with a warm bath to relax muscles further.

Nasya treatment might be beneficial; apply a couple of drops of Anu taila in each nostril in the morning. This fosters sinus clarity and helps in pacifying vata in the head region.

Incorporating stress-reducing practices like meditation or pranayama (alternate nostril breathing) will help soothe your mind and calm the doshas. Shirodhara, if accessible, offers profound relaxation and balances vata and pitta in the mind.

Prioritize sufficient rest and steady sleep patterns, as destabilized sleep can exacerbate vata imbalance. Ensure the sleep environment is calming without disruptions.

If symptoms persist, consider visiting an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor a regimen specific to your prakriti, recognizing the root imbalance underlying the symptoms. This personalized approach can further refine dietary and lifestyle interventions for lasting relief.

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. 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. 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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

Dr. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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.
