Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

hello !

Your body is showing signs of deep tiredness for a long time weight gain, severe body pain, high uric acid, and not sleeping at night. This means your digestion, metabolism, and sleep cycle have become disturbed, and the body is holding inflammation. When this happens for months, even small activities feel heavy.

The good news is that with proper Ayurvedic treatment, we can reduce your uric acid, lighten your body, improve sleep, and slowly bring down the pain.

1. Ama Pachana – FIRST 7 days

To remove heaviness, toxins, indigestion, and gas.

Amapachana Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after food with warm water for 7 days.

This will reduce gas, bloating, heaviness, and stiffness.

2. Internal Medicines (from Day 8 onwards – for 1–2 months)

Punarnavadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal warm water twice daily before food.

Gokshuradi Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after meals.

For Weight Loss & Metabolism:

Triphala Churna – ½ teaspoon with warm water at night.

Brahmi Vati (plain) – 1 tablet at bedtime with warm milk or warm water.

. 3. External Care Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil or Dhanwantharam Taila 3–4 times/week.

Warm water bath after massage.

4. Diet Advice :

Avoid food triggers for uric acid: red meat, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, bakery foods, dal fry, junk food, alcohol. More warm water, moong dal, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, boiled vegetables. Early dinner before 8 PM. No cold drinks, no curd at night.

5. Investigations (very important) Uric acid level Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4) Vitamin D Vitamin B12 Fasting blood sugar

These show why your sleep, weight, and pain are worsening.

Your symptoms are connected, and they can be reversed step by step. Once digestion improves, uric acid reduces and pain comes down. Then sleep becomes better and your energy slowly returns. With regular treatment, you will feel lighter, more active, and pain-free again.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

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 You​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ have been grappling with weight problems, excruciating pain, uric acid issues, and have not had a proper sleep for over 6 months which is a lot for any person to handle. I totally get how draining this can be. Wait a minute, we will get through this step-by-step with a safe and effective Ayurvedic plan to control the pain, bring the uric acid level down, make sleep better, and help you lose weight naturally.

✅ AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

Your signs and symptoms point to the mixture of: Kapha Vruddhi → Results in weight gain, heaviness, slow digestion.

Vata Prakopa → Gives rise to body pains, sleep interruptions, and the feeling of being stiff.

Aama Accumulation → Raises uric acid level, causes joint inflammation, pain, and swelling.

Recent diet/lifestyle changes of yours must have disturbed your Agni (digestive fire) thus resulting in toxins and worsening of pain.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Deepana-Pachana (Remove Ama) – 7 Days Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp before lunch & dinner Chitrakadi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily

2. Lekhana (Fat-Reducing) Medohar Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily Punarnavadi Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily (reduces uric acid and swelling)

3. Pain Management Yograj Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily Dashmoolaristha – 30ml twice daily

4.For sleep Tagar tablet 1 at bed time

✅DIET MODIFICATION

❌Foods to Avoid Immediately Tomatoes Brinjal Chana / chole Red meat Alcohol Bakery foods Curd at night Pickles, spicy masala Cold water / fridge items

☑️Foods to Include

Warm water through the day Moong dal, lauki, tinda, torai Ragi, jowar roti Ghee ½ tsp daily Cooked vegetables (no raw salads for now) Barley water twice daily 1–2 garlic pods daily

✅HOME REMEDIES

1. Uric Acid Remedy Warm water + 1 tsp cumin (jeera) brought to boil → drink daily

2. Body Pain Relief Warm castor oil rubbing in the area of painful joints Then, put on a hot water bag

3. Weight Loss Remedy At the start of the day before eating anything: 1 glass of warm water + 1 tsp honey + ½ tsp cinnamon

Night: 1 tsp of Triphala powder mixed in warm water

4. Sleep Remedy

Warm milk + a small pinch of nutmeg + ½ tsp ghee Before going to bed, put sesame oil on the soles of the feet One hour before going to sleep, keep away from using mobile phone

✅Lifestyle Advice

For Weight & Pain Walk 30 minutes every day Do not sleep during the daytime Have your dinner before 8 PM Do some gentle stretching (cat-cow, child pose)

For Sleep Make sure the room is dark and cool Keep a regular sleep time Do not take tea or coffee after 4 PM

You are definitely able to come out of this situation — your pain can get alleviated within 2–3 weeks, sleep will get better in 10–14 days, and weight loss will initiate gradually as soon as Aama is reduced.

Warm regards, Dr Snehal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Vidhate

The symptoms which you have mentioned all points towards axis toxin in the body, inflammation in the joints and disturbed vata kapha imbalance… when uric acid stays high. The body becomes stiff, heavy, and painful, and poor sleep makes the pain and weight gain even worse. The treatment has to reduce inflammation, bring uric acid down. Improve digestion and help fever body relax at night, you can start on. T.

HELLO,

You have four combined isues -weight gain/ difficulty losing weight -high uric acid -severe body pains -poor sleep These problems are connected and not separate. Ayurveda looks at these as

A) KAPHA IMBALACE causes -weight gain -slow metabolism -water retention -feeling heavy, dull, tired

B) VATA IMBALANCE causes -body pains -stiffness -poor sleep -anxiety or restlessness

C) “AMA” (toxins from poor digestion) occurs when digestion is weak and food doesn’t get processed properly

EFFECTS -increases uric acid -settles in jonits-> pain, swelling -blocks metabolic fire-> more weight -causes fatigue, poor sleep, bloating

So the root cause is -weak digestion -imbalance of vata + kapha -toxin buildup -sleep disturbance -> worsens everything

TREATMENT GOALS -remove ama (toxins)= this will reduce uric acid and body pains -balance vata and kapha= helps pain, weight, sleep, digestion -improve digestion= without fixing digestion, nothing else works -reduce inflammation from high uric acid -improve sleep

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

A) FOR TOXIN REMOVAL AND URIC ACID REDUCTION

1) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 12 weeks =removes swelling, water retention, reduces uric acid, cleanses blood

2) GUDUCHI CAPSULES= 500mg cap twice daily after meals with warm water for 3 months = natural anti inflammatory, reduces uric acid, improves immuity

3) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 15ml + equal water twice daily before meals for 8 weeks = breaks down uric acid, improves kidney filtration

B) FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION AND METABOLISM

4) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =burns fat, improves digestion, reduces cholesterol

5) MEDOHAR VATI= 1 tab twice daily before meals for 12 weeks = specifically targets stubborn fat and kapha

C) FOR BODY PAIN

6) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 15ml + equal water twice daily before meals for 6 weeks =deep pain relief , reduces stiffness and inflammation

D) FOR SLEP AND STRESS

7) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULE= 1 cap at nigh with warm milk for 3 months =calms mind, improves sleep, reduces stress hormones, reduces vata

8) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab in evening for 6 weeks =mind calming, improves sleep quality and mental clarity

EXTERNAL MEDICINES

1) OIL MASSAGE= WITH MAHANARAYAN TAILA -warm oil -> apply whole body -> massage 10-15 mins-> warm shower daily for 4 weeks =relieves Pain, reduces vata, improves sleep , improves circulation

2) LOCAL STEAM =after massage, helps dissolve uric acid crystals, reduces stiffness

AVOID = FOODS THAT INCREASE URIC ACID AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED -red meat, chicken skin -organ meat -sea food, shellfish -alcohol -white sugar and sweets -carbonated drinks -bakery items -deep fried food -heavy dal- urad, chana -peanuts -spinach,tomatoes, cauliflower (increase uric acid)

FOODS THAT HELP WITH URIC ACID AND WEIGHT -barley , oats, millet -moong dal -lauki, tinda, parwal, ashgourd, pumpkin - warm water - lemon water twice daily -turmeric + black pepper - garlic, ginger -pomegranate, apple, papaya -cumin + coriander +fennel water

FOODS TO CORRECT DIGESTION -warm fresh meals -add ginger in cooking -avoid lefover/refrigerated foods -stop cold drinks -stop heavy dinner atnight

LIFESTYLE GUIDELINES

SLEEP ROUTINE -sleep between 10-10:30 pm -avoid screes 1 hour before bed -warm milk with nutmeg or ashwagandha at night

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up before 7 am -warm water immediately after waking -30-40 min walking -no sleeping during daytime -avoid cold exposure

YOGA ASANAS -pawanmuktasana=best for uric acid -trikonasana= improves diigestion -vrikshasana= improves balance, reduces kapha -setubandhasana= good for metabolism -bhujangasana= opens chest, improves circulation -tadasana= posture improvement DURATION= 20-25min daily

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom=balances vata -Bhramari= best for sleep -Chandra bhedana= cooling, calming -sheetali/sheetkari=avoid in witer

HOME REMEDIES -Jeera-dhaniya-saunf water= sip throughout the day, improves digestion, reduces swelling

-Turmeric + black Pepper in warm water= night or morning

-Lemon water twice daily= helps dissolve uric acid

-Garlic empty stomach= 1-2 cloves chewed- helps weight loss and inflammation

-Warm water bottle on joints = relieves uric acid pain

Your condition is fully manageable but It requires a combined approach -diet correction -daily lifestyle discipline -regular yoga and pranayam -ayurvedic internal medicines -external therapies

You will start noticing improvement In -2-3 weeks= better sleep, less pain -4-6 weeks= digestion improves -8-12 weeks= uric acid reduces, weight starts coming down Ayurveda works gradually but deeply, treating the root cause, to just the symptoms

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Balancing weight, reducing body pains, and addressing uric acid alongside improved sleep can be interrelated concerns in Ayurveda. Each symptom may connect to an imbalance in your doshas (vata, pitta, kapha), impacting your agni, or digestive fire. Let’s address these systematically.

For weight loss, focus on balancing kapha dosha. Avoid heavy, oily, and dense foods. Favor light, spicy, and bitter flavors. Include foods like barley, millet, and green leafy vegetables. Regular exercise like brisk walking or yoga can stimulate metabolism and help reduce weight. Always ensure to drink warm water throughout the day to aid digestion and metabolism.

Body pains, and elevated uric acid often relate to aggravation of vata and pitta doshas. Limit intake of high-purine foods such as red meats, shellfish, and certain legumes. Favor cooling and alkalizing foods like cucumber, cherries, and celery. Applying warm sesame oil to painful areas can soothe vata-related pains.

For better sleep, establish a calming night routine to balance vata dosha. Avoid stimulants like caffeine or electronic screens at least an hour before bed. Drinking a cup of warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or turmeric before sleeping can help induce sleep. Ensure your bedroom environment is quiet and dark, enhancing your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.

Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala can help detoxify the system and balance doshas, supporting weight loss and liver function, which in turn can aid in uric acid management. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbs, especially if you’re on other medications.

Lastly, consider stress reduction techniques — meditation or pranayama daily can calm the mind, balance doshas, and improve overall health. Should any of these symptoms worsen, seeking professional medical advice promptly is highly advised. Always prioritize safety alongside Ayurveda.

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

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

Dr. 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. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
