Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

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.

Let me be completely honest here. For the beart if 2d echo shows efficiency less then 40% or around that you need to have panchakarma therapy specifically basti treatment. If you can go in madhav bhag panchakarma centre they have the treatment for the same. For the asthmatic trigger. 1. Tab shaddharan 2BD A F 2. Shitopladi churna 1tsp TID with honey 3. Harindradi dhoom varti for inhalation. You can see dhoompana procedure on YouTube For diabeties we can’t totally rely on the ayurveda as it is necessary to continue with the allopathic medicine. But we can decrease the dosage. Start with 1. Chandraprabha vati 2BD AF 2. Parpathadi kwatha 20 ml with same amount of luke warm water These will take care of your issues.

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 I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ really appreciate you opening up to me about your health issues. I know that handling diabetes, asthma, and heart failure all at the same time is hard, and I bet it makes you feel very confused and stressed. But please don’t be troubled because we’ve got you covered.

✅AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

Your case is a mixture of: –Madhumeha (Diabetes) –Pranavaha Srotodushti / Tamaka Shwasa (Asthma) –Hrdya Vikaras (Heart Failure)

Ayurveda centers its attention on the mechanisms of the body such as digestion, respiration, and blood flow, and at the same time, it keeps away from giving heavy, hot, or heart-overloading articles to the patient.

✅ AYURVEDIC TREATMENT STRATEGY

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

👉For Diabetes (Safe in Heart Failure)

1. Nishamalaki ½ tsp twice daily after meals It supports sugar to balance and also strengthens resistance.

2. Gudmar (Gymnema) Tablets- 1 tablet twice daily after meals It lessens sweet intake necessity and stabilizes glucose.

3. Chandraprabha Vati- 1 tablet twice daily It helps the body to utilize the nutrients efficiently without putting the heart at risk.

👉 For Asthma & Breathing Difficulties

1. Dashmoolaktutreya ks tab 2-0-2 after food For chest congestion and heaviness in the throat.

2. Agasthya Rasyana ½ tsp at night Supports respiratory system and reduces mucus production.

👉 For Heart Health (Supportive & Safe)

1. Arjuna Ksheerapaka (Arjuna boiled in milk-water mixture) 50 ml once daily It strengthens the heart muscle and improves blood flow. Definitely safe & good for the body.

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

👉 Breathing & Lung Strengthening - Anulom-Vilom - Chandra Bhedana - Bhramari

Do not practice: Kapalabhati Bhastrika Vigorous pranayama

Asthma due to cold is relieved greatly with warm humidified breathing.

Wear warm clothes on your chest and neck: protects against asthma triggers.

A slow 10–15 min walk after meals works wonders for glucose & heart function.

Turn off your gadgets at least 1 hr before going to bed; sleep early.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✔️Eat More Warm, cooked foods Moong dal, green vegetables Millets like ragi, bajra, jowar Bitter foods (methi, karela, neem water) 1 tsp ghee per day (supports lung Kapha without overloading heart)

❌Avoid Completely Cold foods, cold ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌drinks Banana, curd Oily and fried foods Bakery items Excess salt Milk at night

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

When you have heart failure, the lungs also get affected because the heart and lungs work as a team. That’s why asthma and breathlessness can feel worse. Diabetes for more than 10 years also slows healing and weakens the system. Your body needs gentle support something that doesn’t stress your heart, doesn’t raise sugar levels, and quietly calms the lungs and improves breathing. Ayurveda can help, but only with safe herbs that do not interfere with your heart medicines.

Ayurvedic Support (SAFE ALONG WITH HEART MEDICINES)

These are mild but effective and safe with heart failure medicines:

Sitopaladi Churna – ½ teaspoon with warm water twice daily after meals

Yashtimadhu (Licorice) tablet – 1 tablet twice daily

Vasavaleha – 1 teaspoon at night with warm water

(These help with cold-triggered asthma and chest tightness without affecting the heart.)

2. For Diabetes (Safe won’t drop sugar dangerously)

Guduchi Ghan Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food Amla powder – 1 teaspoon in warm water on empty stomach in the morning Triphala Churna – ½ teaspoon at night with warm water

(These support sugar control, immunity, and digestion without interacting with diabetic or heart medications.)

3. Gentle Lung Support

Steam inhalation with plain water (no oils) once a day Warm water sipping through the day Avoid cold air exposure; cover nose and mouth in cold wind

4. Investigations (important for safe long-term management)

Please check every 3–6 months: HbA1c (diabetes control) Kidney function (due to diabetes + heart medicines) Vitamin D and B12 Echo + NT-proBNP (for heart failure monitoring) Peak flow test (for asthma)

You are managing three major conditions at the same time, so it’s normal to feel breathless, tired, or worried. You can improve your breathing and sugar levels with very safe herbal support—but heart failure medicines must continue exactly as prescribed. With steady habits, warm food, strict sugar control, and daily gentle breathing care, your lungs will feel lighter and your energy will slowly improve. Whenever you need support, I’m here to help you navigate this safely.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

When diabetes, asthma and art failure occurred together, the body becomes sensitive and easily trained, so the focus is on gently supporting Sugar balance improving lung capacity and strengthening the Heart without causing heaviness.

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

Hello… That’s a lot for your body to handle at the same time — heart failure, long-standing diabetes, and asthma together make everything feel heavier than it should. And when breathing itself becomes tricky, it can make you anxious on top of everything else. I’ve got you — let’s go step by step in a way that’s safe, gentle, and compatible with heart failure + diabetes + asthma. (I’ll avoid anything that can overload the heart or spike blood sugar.)

Safe Ayurvedic Support for Diabetes + Asthma (with Heart Failure) 🌿 The main goals will be: * Keep blood sugar stable without stressing the heart * Reduce airway inflammation + improve breathing capacity * Strengthen digestion (very important for both diabetes & asthma) * Avoid herbs that cause water retention (not safe in heart failure)

🔎 Check-up / Monitoring If possible, keep track of: 1.Fasting blood sugar 2.Post-meal sugar 3.HbA1c (every 3 months) 4.Peak flow (if available, for asthma) 5.Any swelling in legs (important for heart failure)

💊 Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (Safe with HF/Asthma/Diabetes) For Diabetes (Safe & Non-heating options) 1. Nishamalaki Churna – ½ tsp twice daily after food 2. Gudmar (Gymnema) Capsule – 1 capsule twice daily before meals 3. Chandraprabha Vati – 1 tablet once daily (not twice)

✨ Avoid bitter herbs like Neem in high doses — they can lower sugar too fast when you’re on HF medicines.

For Asthma (Cold-air trigger) You need warming but lung-friendly herbs: 1. Sitopaladi Churna + Talisadi Churna – ½ tsp with honey twice daily 2. Dashamoola Kashayam 15 ml with 30 ml of warm water twice daily before food.

🌬️ Immediate Relief for Cold-Air Triggered Asthma 1. Warm steam inhalation with just water (no eucalyptus for HF patients) 2–3 times weekly 2. Keep a scarf around nose/mouth in cold environments 3. Golden Rule: Never expose your chest to sudden cold air after bathing.

🥗 Diet Recommendations (Diabetes + Asthma + Heart Failure Safe) ❌ Avoid: *Cold foods, cold water *Yogurt/curd at night *Bananas *Heavy wheat-based meals *Fried food *Sugar, jaggery *Large meals (pressure on heart + lungs)

✅ Include: *Warm foods only *Moong dal, vegetable soups *Ragi or jowar instead of rice *Steamed veggies $Ginger tea (very mild) for breathing *1 tsp flaxseed daily *Warm water between meals

🧘 Gentle Breathing Exercises (Safe for Heart Failure) Avoid any breath retention or forceful pranayama (dangerous for HF).

✔️ Safe: 1. Anulom-Vilom (slow) – 5 minutes 2. Bhramari – 5 rounds 3. Pursed-lip breathing – excellent for breathlessness 4. Chest-opening stretches Shoulder rolls Gentle arm lifts

❌ Avoid: *Kapalbhati *Bhastrika *Breath-holding techniques These can strain the heart.

✨ Extra Helpful Tips -Keep feet elevated while resting → reduces heart load -Small walks indoors (2–5 minutes) help sugar + lungs -Never lie down immediately after meals -Sleep with a slight incline if breathing feels heavy at night

When to Seek Immediate Help

Please get checked immediately if you experience:

Sudden increase in breathlessness

Swelling in feet getting worse

Chest pain

Very low sugar symptoms

Your combination of conditions needs respect, but you can absolutely feel better with the right gentle approach.

If you want, I can make a full daily routine (morning–night) or a diabetic meal plan suited for someone with asthma + heart failure. Just tell me — I’m right here.

Warm regards Dr.Sumi.S MS(Ayu)

HELLO,

You are dealing with three chronic condition that influence each other

HEART FAILURE (HF) Heart failure means your heart is not pumping blood as strongly or efficiently as it sound. Because of this -fluid may build up in your lungs-> causing breathlessness -fluid may collect in legs-> swelling -you may feel tired, weak -heart failure medicines help remove excess fluid and support heart function

IMPORTANT= anything that increases fluid in your body, raises blood pressure, or strains the heart can worsen heart failure. Ayurveda must be used very gently here

DIABETES (TYPE 2, CHRONIC) Diabetes means your body has difficulty managing blood sugar. over time, this affects -blood vessels -nerves -kidneys -heart Diabetes also increases the workload on your already weak heart

ASTHMA Asthma means the airways are sensitive and inflamed, becoming arrow when triggered (like with cold air) This causes -wheezing -chest tightness -cough -difficulty breathing During heart failure, the lungs already had fluid buildup, making asthma symptoms worse.

Ayurveda sees your condition as -Kapha imbalance->mucus, heaviness, fluid retention -vata imbalance-> breathlessness, fatigue -pitta imbalance-> high blood sugar, inflammation -agni (digestion/metabolism) weakness-> slow metabolism, poor circulation -Ojas depletion-> low energy, weak immunity

TREATMENT GOALS -support heart function naturally and gently -improve breathing and reduce asthma flares -support healthy blood sugar levels -strengthen overall energy

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) AMLA CAPSULE= 1 cap daily In morning =supports pancreas, improves immunity, supports lung health

2) GUDMAR CAPSULE= 1 cap twice daily before meals for 3 months = supports sugar control, helps reduce sweet cravings

3) PUNARNAVA CAPSULE= 250mg once daily after lunch for 3months =reduces swelling and water retention, supports kidney function, which helps heart failure

4) TULSI TEA OR 3-4 LEAVES DAILY =improves breathing, reduces cough, mucus,natural anti inflammatory

5) SHITOPALADI CHURNA = 1/2 tsp with honey twice daily after meals =reduces chest mucus, helps breathing

6) ARJUNA CAPSULE= 500mg cap once daily = traditionally stregthens heart muscles

AVOID THESE HERBS STRICTLY -Licorice= cause water retention -Heavy tonics (ashwagandha, shatavari) -strong detox cleanses -castor oil preparatios

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) WARM CHEST COMPRESS WITH AJWAIN WATER -helps reduce congestion -soothes breathing

2) MILD SELF MASSAGE WITH WARM SESAME OIL -helps circulation -avoid on days of swelling or fluid retention

3) STEAM INHALATION -with tulsi or ajwain =helps open blocked airways

DIET

FOR HEART FAILURE -low salt -warm, light foods -moong dal -lauki -steamed vegetables

FOR ASTHMA -warm water throughout the day -ginger tea -tulsi tea -garlic in cooking

FOR DIABETES -millets (foxtail, kodo, barnyard) -bitter vegetables (karela, methi, neem flowers) -high fiber vegetables

AVOID -salted snacks -deep fried food -cold, refrigerated foods -curd -bananas -sweets -white rice -wheatbased heavy foods -red meat -bakery items

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -anulom vilom -bhramari -ujjayi -vajrasana after meals -slow walking

AVOID -kapalbhati -bhastrika -strong breath holding -intense yoga

HOME REMEDIES -Ginger tulsi tea= improves breathing + digestion -Methi seeds soaked overnight= helps reduce blood sugar -Warm water with 1 tsp honey = reduces throat irritation -warm turmeric milk = reduces inflamamtion

Your condition must be managed together, not separately Ayurveda can support but not replace your cardiac and diabetes medicatios Gentle Ayurvedic methods are safest for you Avoid detox programs, Panchakarma, and heavy herbs Regular monitoring of heart and sugar is essential You can live well with careful lifestyle changes and consistent treatment

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Integrating Ayurveda alongside conventional treatments can be helpful, but it’s essential to align with your current medical care. Dealing with diabetes and asthma, while also managing heart failure, requires a tailored approach. In Ayurveda, managing blood sugar involves balancing kapha and vata dosha. Avoid foods that increase kapha, like dairy, excessive sweet, and oily foods. Instead, focus on consuming bitter and astringent tasting foods—like neem leaves or turmeric. Incorporate herbs like Gymnema (Gurmar), which is known for its ability to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Ingesting these herbs as part of your regular routine, perhaps in powdered form with warm water, may be beneficial.

For breathing issues associated with asthma, aligning with vata and kapha management is crucial. You could try gentle steam inhalation with holy basil (Tulsi) leaves—these help soothe the respiratory tract. Performing pranayama (breathing exercises) for 5-10 minutes daily, such as Anulom Vilom or Bhramari, can enhance lung capacity and reduce stress, which are beneficial for heart and asthma conditions as well. Always ensure you do this under guidance if you’re unfamiliar with the techniques.

Moreover, a critical focus should be on a healthy lifestyle and diet—eat small meals to aid digestion and avoid heavy, late dinners that disturb your agni, or digestive fire. Keeping active within your physical limits, even light walking, enhances circulation and can assist in managing both diabetes and heart health.

Ensure to drink warm water rather than cold, as it can signal your body’s internal balance and support managing asthma. However, it’s really important to keep your primary healthcare provider in the loop about these practices to ensure they’re safe and appropriate for your specific condition. Always prioritize urgent medical attention if your symptoms become acute or worsen.

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. 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. 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.
