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.

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, You are a 29-year-old experiencing head pain around the temples and brain region, neck & spine (backbone) pain, ear discomfort, dizziness, sudden palpitations, chest heaviness, and occasional breathing difficulty for 1–6 months, clearly worsened by stress.

In Ayurveda, this pattern indicates Vata–Pitta imbalance with Manovaha Srotas involvement, commonly seen in stress-induced disorders, cervical strain, anxiety spectrum, and aggravated Prana–Vyana Vata. Minor lifestyle changes, irregular routine, or mental strain can trigger these symptoms.

Your treatment will focus on calming the nervous system, reducing stress-Vata, relieving head–neck tension, and stabilising heart rhythm and breathing.

🔎 Recommended Investigations (If not done in the last 6 months) 1. BP monitoring (morning & evening) 2. ECG (to rule out rhythm issues) 3. Hemoglobin (Hb) 4. Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D3 5. Thyroid profile (TSH)

💊 Internal Medicines Phase 1 – 14 days (Stress calming + head & chest symptom relief) 1. Brahmi Vati (plain) – 1 tablet twice daily after meals 2. Sarpagandha Ghana Vati (low dose) – 1 tablet at bedtime only 3. Praval Pishti – 125 mg once daily with honey or water 4. Dashamoola Kwatha – 15 ml with equal warm water at night

Phase 2 – 30 days (Nervous system strength + recurrence prevention) 1. Ashwagandha (low dose) – 1 tablet at bedtime 2. Arjuna Capsule / Churna – 1 capsule or ½ tsp twice daily after meals

🌿 External & Supportive Therapies 1. Head & neck oil massage – 3× weekly – Use Brahmi Taila or Ksheerabala Taila – Gentle massage for 10 minutes 2. Hot water fomentation to neck & upper back – daily 3. Foot massage at night with sesame oil

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations ❌ Avoid 1. Tea/coffee excess 2. Spicy, fried, junk foods 3. Late nights 4. Mobile/laptop overuse 5. Skipping meals ✅ Include 1. Warm, freshly cooked food 2. Ghee – 1 tsp daily 3. Fruits like apple, pomegranate 4. Warm water sipping 5. Fixed sleep routine (sleep by 10:30 pm)

Helpful drink (daily): Coriander + fennel boiled water (cool slightly before drinking)

🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga & Pranayama (Very important for your symptoms) 1. Anulom Vilom – 10 minutes 2. Bhramari – 5 minutes 3. Deep slow breathing – 5 minutes 4. Shavasana – before sleep

🚫 Avoid Kapalbhati or forceful pranayama for now.

🕉️ Follow-up & Warning Signs

• Head pain, dizziness & palpitations usually reduce in 7–10 days • Chest heaviness and breathing comfort improve in 2–3 weeks • Continue treatment for 6–8 weeks for stability

🚨 Seek immediate medical help if: • Severe chest pain • Fainting • Persistent breathlessness • Sudden worsening palpitations

✨ Your symptoms are stress-related and reversible with proper nervous-system calming, routine correction, and gentle care.

With care, Dr. Sumi MS (Ayu)

Dhanyawad Aap jo lakshan bata rahe hai sir ke paas dard aur bhari pan, gardan aur backbone ka dard, kaan mein jalan ya pakna, chakkar, achanak dil ki dhadkan badhna, chest mein bhaaripan aur saans lene mein dikkat – yeh zyada tar lambe samay ke stress, tension, gardan ki stiffness aur nervous system ki weakness ki wajah se hote hain. Is age mein yeh zyada tar functional problem hoti hai, koi serious heart ya brain disease nahi, khaaskar jab stress se symptoms badhte hain.

Brahmi capsule 1 subah-shaam khane ke baad Ashwagandha churna 3 gram raat ko garam doodh ke saath Saraswatarishta 15 ml barabar pani ke saath din mein 2 baar Maha Narayan tail ya Ksheerabala tail se gardan aur upper back ka roz halka massage

Der raat tak jagna, zyada mobile use, chai-coffee aur cold food kam karein. Samay par bhojan aur neend zaroori hai.

Roz halki walk, gardan ke gentle stretching exercise, aur gehri saans lene ka abhyas karein.

Stress aur darr ko dabane ke bajay baat karna, routine banana aur man ko shaant rakhna bahut zaroori hai. Theek tarah se follow karne par dheere dheere sab lakshan control mein aa jaate hain.

Hello, I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ definitely understand your concern. how the situation of the symptoms might upset you and even disturb your sleep, especially since you are so young. I would like to ask you not to be terribly worried as these symptoms are very common, they can be controlled, and besides this, they are reversible to a large extent with proper management.

YOUR CONCERN

From your description, I would say that you’ve got the following symptoms:

- Pain around the head and brain region - Backbone pain - Burning sensation in ears - Dizziness (giddiness) - Sudden increase in heartbeat - Heaviness in chest - Occasional difficulty in breathing

Age: 29 years Duration: 1–6 months Main trigger: Stress Recent lifestyle/diet changes

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

According to Ayurveda, this problem is basically caused by:

- Vata–Pitta imbalance - Prana Vata + Vyana Vata disturbance (affects heart, breathing, nervous system) - Manasika nidana (mental stress, anxiety) - Mild Ama (toxin) accumulation affecting circulation and nerves

This frequently manifests as: –Anxiety-related palpitations –Stress-induced breathlessness –Cervical/back muscle stiffness –Head pressure and dizziness

⚠️ This does NOT mark any heart condition at your age unless other factors are detected, but a correction is certainly necessary.

INTERNAL MEDICATION (For nervous system calming, pain relief, and breath regulation)

1. Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food (Calms brain, reduces dizziness & stress)

2. Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp at night with warm milk or water (Balances Vata, reduces palpitations & weakness)

3. Arjuna Churna – ½ tsp twice daily with warm water (Supports heart rhythm & chest heaviness)

4. Dashmoolaristha 30ml-0-30ml after food (Back pain & nerve inflammation is dealt with very effectively by this one)

👉 Relief that can be felt is brought about by continuing the treatment for 6–8 weeks.

DETOX (AMA-PACHANA & VATA-SHAMANA)(Very gentle detox – safe for daily life)

Detox Drink for MorningWarm water + ½ tsp Triphala churna (at bedtime) Improves digestion Reduces toxin load Helps the nervous system to balance

Weekly Detox Practice

Once a week light diet day: Warm khichdi Vegetable soups No heavy, fried food

EXTERNAL THERAPY

1. Head & Spine Oil Application (2–3 times/week)Oil: Ksheerabala Taila Gently massage:Scalp Neck Upper spine

Allow it to work for 30 to 60 minutes, then wash with lukewarm water

On its own, this can lessen: Head pressure Neck & back pain Ear burning Anxiety symptoms

DIET GUIDELINES

INCLUDE

Warm, freshly cooked food Ghee (1–2 tsp/day) Bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd Rice, moong dal Soaked almonds (5 daily)

AVOID

Tea/coffee Cold drinks Junk & packaged food Skipping meals Late-night eating

LIFESTYLE & BREATHING PRACTICES(Very important for your symptoms)

Daily (Morning or Evening) Anulom Vilom – 10 minutes Bhramari Pranayama – 7 rounds(Best for palpitations

Additional Tips Sleep before 10:30 pm Avoid using a mobile phone before sleeping Take short breaks if you sit for long hours

INVESTIGATIONS (Only if symptoms persist)

To rule out deficiencies or stress impact: - Hemoglobin - Vitamin B12 - Vitamin D - Thyroid profile (TSH) - ECG (for reassurance)

✔ Your symptoms are stress-related and functional, not dangerous ✔ With treatment, 60–70% relief is seen within 3–4 weeks ✔ Complete recovery is very much possible at your age

You are not alone—your body is asking for balance, not fear

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

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.

Medicines 1 Sariwadi Vati: 2 tablets twice daily with warm water (after food). 2 Gandhak Rasayan: 2 tablets twice daily with warm water (after food). 3 Arjunarishta: 20ml mixed with 20ml water, twice daily (after food). 4 Yograj Guggulu: 2 tablets twice daily with warm water.

External Therapy Bilwadi Tailam (Ear Drops): Put 2 drops in the infected ear twice a day.

Neem Paste (For Head Boils): Crush fresh Neem leaves (or use Neem powder) with water to make a paste. Apply it on the boils on the back of your head for 20 minutes before bathing.

Dietary & Lifestyle Advice Strictly Avoid: Sour foods (Pickles, Curd, Lemons) and Fermented foods (Idli, Dosa, Bread). Drink only Warm Water. Avoid cold drinks entirely.

Ensure you get adequate sleep; late nights will aggravate the dizziness and palpitations.

Medical Warning: Since you have boils on the head veins combined with ear discharge and chest issues, if you do not see improvement in 5 days, please visit an ENT specialist physically. This could be a deeper infection (Mastoiditis) requiring urgent care.

Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

Aapke jo lakshan hain unhein dekhte hue, yeh samabhavna hain ki aapke sharir mein vata dosha ki vriddhi ho sakti hai, jo sar, peeth aur sanchaari swabhav mein dard, dizzy feeling, aur dil ki dhadkan ke liye zimmedar hoti hai. Peet aur mastisk mein dard dhatu ke heenata aur vata ke prakop ke nishani hai. Saans ki dikkat aur chhati bhari bhari lagna kapha ka asantulan ho sakta hai jo agni mein utprerak kaaran banta hai.

1. Aahar aur Bhojan Vidhan: Aapke bhojan mein garam, aur vata nasak padarth shamil karen jaise ghee, til ka tel, aur adaarak (ginger). Sheeta aur ruksha padarth se bachna chahiye jaise ki salad aur sukhi sabziyan.

2. Dinacharya (Daily Routine): Rozana thoda thoda karke, khana khana achha hota hai. Bhai wa post-shayee man (mind) ko thanda aur sookshm rakhe, shushil aur himmat bhari kahaniyan ya sangeet sunna laabhkaree ho sakta hai.

3. Nasya (Nasal Therapy): Aap bhari kapha aur saans lene mein dikkat ko kam karne ke liye nasya ka avashkar kar sakte hain. Ek-chamak til tel ko garam karke dimagni karmi me shahayak hovta hai.

4. **Try to maintain a regular sleep schedule, listen to your body’s natural rhythms, and avoid overly stimulating activities right before bed. A light yoga or meditative routine before bedtime can also be assessed beneficial.

5. Pranayam aur Yoga: Anulom Vilom aur Bhramari pranayam benefits rogan karenge jo vata ko shaant karne aur chhati se usprahav se raahat milni hogi. Bharadvajasana aur Shavasana jaise aasan daainik talaba mein karen.

Agar aapki symptoms severe hain ya koi sudhar nahi dekh rahe, to turant praveshdharak ya chikitshak se salah karni chahiye. Medicine ka upchaar bhi zaroorat padne par avashyak hai. Take care in implementing and consult a healthcare provider for tailored guidance.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

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

Dr. 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.

I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

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