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.

Yes, start now (as 5 weeks completed). Give warm milk 100 ml + 3–5 gm Haridrakhand night only , its excellent for remaining cough & immunity. Start boiled/mashed potato small quantity. Plain soft paratha (no stuffing) ok – avoid fried/oily for another 2 weeks. Cow Ghee can be started now – ½–1 tsp ghee in khichdi/sabzi/roti daily Tulsi + Mulethi + Ginger water – Continue twice daily for another 4–6 weeks – very good for clearing residual cold/cough.

Resume Normal diet gradually. Add ghee in sabzi & on roti from today – start small quantity. Full normal vegetarian diet ok in 1–2 weeks. Continue Giloy ghanvati (½ tab) for another 1–2 months – boosts immunity & prevents recurrence.

Continue steam + Sitopaladi/Talisadi + Laxmivilas Ras for cough till completely gone. She is recovering well – these additions will clear remaining cough & make lungs strong.

she will be 100 % fine very soon.

Sorry for the delay response. Take these medicines for 3 weeks and Nasya for 2 months. Repeat X-Ray after 3 months. But if symptoms are relieved more than 90% than no need.

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 totally get why you’re worried. When a little one keeps having a stuffy nose, gets colds all the time, and breathes through their mouth after having pneumonia, it’s really tough for parents. But don’t worry – we are here to help you out 😊

YOUR CONCERN Your daughter: –Age: 5 years old –Past: Pneumonia on Nov 16th (all clear on X-ray now) –Latest X-ray says: –A bit of adenoid swelling –Some soft tissue making her nasal passage a bit narrow

What she’s dealing with now: –Always a stuffy nose –Lots of coughs and colds –A cough that just won’t quit –Breathing through her mouth Other stuff: –Sensitive to certain foods –Digestion isn’t great, frequent tummy troubles –How long: Over 6 months

AYURVEDIC VIEW In Ayurveda, we see this as:

–Pratishyaya + Kasa (long-term cold and cough) –Lots of Kapha → snot, blocked nose, big adenoids –Mandagni (weak digestion) → getting sick often –Ama formation → weak immune system and constant breathing issues –Her lungs are still a bit delicate after pneumonia

👉 Swollen adenoids in kids usually get better on their own. Especially if they’re not too big and we fix the Kapha and digestion early.

TREATMENT GOAL –Shrink those adenoids naturally –Clear up her nose so she can breathe –Cut down on the coughs and colds –Help her digestion and immune system –Keep her from needing surgery later

AYURVEDIC PLAN

INTERNAL MEDICATION (KID-FRIENDLY)

1. Sitopaladi Churna ¼ tsp with honey, twice a day Good for: cough, phlegm, scratchy throat

2. Talisadi Churna¼ tsp with honey, once a day Good for: less Kapha and fewer colds

3. Guduchi (Giloy) Syrup 5 ml once a day Good for: strong immune system and fewer infections

No strong pills or adult medicine.

2. NASAL CARE (SUPER IMPORTANT FOR ADENOIDS) 1 Shadbindu Taila (a gentle nose oil) 1 drop in each nostril, once a day When: mornings are best Only do it if she doesn’t have a fever

👉 This helps: Shrink adenoids Help her breathe through her nose Break the mouth-breathing habit (A doctor should show you how to do this the first time)

DIET – THIS IS KEY

❌AVOID Cold food drinks Ice cream, chocolate Baked goods Too much milk, cheese Curd at night Bananas Packaged foods These make Kapha worse and adenoids swell.

☑️EAT (EVERY DAY) Warm, fresh home-cooked food Moong dal, rice, khichdi Veggie soups A little bit of garlic in food Turmeric + ghee in food Warm water all day 👉 Good digestion means better immunity means smaller adenoids.

HOME REMEDIES
–Steam (just plain steam) 1–2 minutes Once daily

–Turmeric milk (if she’ll drink it) A tiny bit of turmeric in warm milk, only during the day

LIFESTYLE TIPS –Stay away from cold air & dust –Keep her head & chest warm –Avoid AC blowing right on her –Make sure she sleeps well –Deal with every cold quickly

👉 Being consistent is more important than just the medicine.

ABOUT SURGERY They only think about adenoid surgery if: –She has bad sleep apnea –Gets ear infections all the time –Has trouble with speech or hearing –Medicine hasn’t worked 👉 Right now, your daughter’s adenoids are only a little swollen, so trying medicine first is the best route.

Your child’s condition isn’t dangerous, and you’re catching it at the right time. With: –The right food –Gentle Ayurvedic medicine –Nose care –Fixing her digestion 👉 Most kids get better without surgery.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

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

Hello 🙂 Thanks for sharing the report and symptoms in detail. Based on your description, your 5-year-old daughter has mild adenoid hypertrophy, which explains: Constant nose block Mouth breathing Recurrent cough & cold Post-infection cough persisting after pneumonia Poor digestion → immunity link This is very common in children and usually manageable without surgery if treated early and consistently. 🫁 Understanding the condition (simple words) Adenoids are lymphoid tissues behind the nose. When repeatedly infected (cold, cough, pneumonia), they become chronically enlarged, causing: Blocked nasal airflow Mucus drip → chronic cough Mouth breathing → disturbed sleep & immunity 🌿 Ayurvedic Treatment Plan (Safe for 5-year-old) 1️⃣ To reduce adenoid size & nasal blockage Anu Tailam (Children dose) 1 drop in each nostril Morning, empty stomach Child lying down, head tilted back 👉 Do daily for 30–45 days ⚠️ Skip during active fever or severe cold 2️⃣ To reduce recurrent cold, cough & improve immunity Sitopaladi Churna ¼ tsp + honey Twice daily after food OR Talisadi Churna (if cough is more) Same dose & method 3️⃣ For chronic cough after pneumonia Vasavaleha ½ tsp Night after food 4️⃣ To correct digestion & food sensitivity Poor digestion worsens adenoids. Drakshasava 5 ml + equal water After lunch OR Balachaturbhadra Churna ¼ tsp + honey Once daily morning 🍲 Diet – VERY IMPORTANT ✅ Foods to INCLUDE Warm, freshly cooked food Rice gruel, moong dal, khichdi Garlic-cooked vegetables Turmeric milk (pinch turmeric + warm milk, night) Pomegranate, apple (stewed) Tulsi water (lukewarm) ❌ Foods to AVOID (big triggers for adenoids) 🚫 Cold milk / curd / cheese 🚫 Ice cream, cold drinks 🚫 Banana at night 🚫 Bakery, chocolates, junk food 🚫 Fried & oily food 🚫 Packaged juices ⚠️ If she has known food allergies, strictly avoid those — they directly worsen adenoids. 🌬️ Home Care Steam inhalation (plain water) 3–4 times/week Keep chest & neck covered Avoid exposure to dust, smoke, cold air Encourage nasal breathing practice gently

’m Dr. Sumit S. Tasgaonkar, a dedicated Ayurvedic physician (BAMS) with advanced training in surgery (MS), Certified Gynecological Oncology (CGO), and Postgraduate Diploma in Emergency Medical Services (PGDEMS). With a strong foundation in both classical Ayurveda and modern medical science, I strive to bridge these systems to offer patients safe, holistic, and evidence-based care. My clinical expertise lies in managing chronic diseases, lifestyle disorders, metabolic imbalances, and gynecological conditions through a combination of Ayurvedic therapies, Panchakarma, herbal medicine, and individualized dietary and lifestyle modifications. I believe true healing occurs when we focus not just on suppressing symptoms, but on correcting imbalances at the root level—restoring harmony between the body, mind, and spirit. Over the years, I’ve seen meaningful outcomes in patients with conditions ranging from digestive disorders and arthritis to PCOS, skin diseases, stress, and hormonal imbalances. I follow a patient-centric, dosha-based approach that is deeply personalized and designed to sustain long-term health. As the founder of Tasgaonkar Medical Foundation, I’ve also focused on extending the benefits of Ayurveda to rural and underserved communities. I am committed to making high-quality Ayurvedic healthcare both accessible and affordable, while preserving the classical principles that form the core of authentic practice. My goal is to empower patients with knowledge, guide them through holistic healing journeys, and support their wellness beyond conventional treatments. With every consultation, I aim to honor the science and spirit of Ayurveda while adapting it thoughtfully to modern needs.

Namaskar…

Based on your daughter’s history and X-ray findings, this condition is called Adenoid hypertrophy. In Ayurveda, it is mainly related to Kapha dominance, weak digestion (Agnimandya), and repeated respiratory infections.

The good news is that mild adenoid hypertrophy CAN be managed well with Ayurvedic treatment, especially at this age, without surgery in many cases.

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN Internal Medicines (to reduce adenoids & improve immunity)

Sitopaladi Churna – with honey 1 tsp three times a day

Talisadi Churna / Vyaghri-based syrup 1 tsp three times a day

Baal-friendly immunity syrup (Guduchi + Yashtimadhu) 1 tsp three times a day

Digestive medicine (Agnideepak syrup/churna) 1 tsp three times a day

Nasal & Local Therapy (Very Important)

Anu Taila / Shadbindu Taila (Pratimarsha Nasya) → 1 drop in each nostril daily in the morning

External Measures

Gentle chest & back massage with warm sesame oil

Mild steam inhalation only if tolerated

DIET ADVICE (MOST IMPORTANT PART)

Foods to GIVE: Warm, freshly cooked food Rice, moong dal, vegetable soup Turmeric milk (small quantity, night) Stewed apple, pomegranate

Warm water frequently

Foods to AVOID (Strictly):

Cold foods & drinks Ice cream, chocolate Bakery items, biscuits Curd (especially at night) Banana, grapes (if allergy prone)

Food allergies must be strictly avoided, as they directly worsen adenoids.

LIFESTYLE ADVICE

Avoid cold exposure Do not allow mouth breathing habit (gentle reminders) Ensure proper sleep Keep nose clean, avoid dust exposure

Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform with your child’s health.

chest X ray is showing resolution confirms that the pneumonia has healed. This is a positive sign. The neck lateral X ray findings of mild adenoid hypertrophy shows that the ongoing symptoms such as nasal blockage, mouth breathing, recurrent cough, and frequent cold episodes.

Adenoids are lymphoid tissues located behind the nose in children. After respiratory infections, like pneumonia, these tissues become enlarged. When adenoids swell airflow becomes partially obstructed which leads to mouth breathing, mucus accumulation, post nasal drip, and persistent cough even after lung infection has resolved. Antibiotics usually do not help much at this stage because the problem is no longer an active bacterial infection.

According to ayurveda,this condition is due to Kapha dosha aggravation in the upper respiratory tract along with weak digestive fire. When digestion is not strong, mucus formation increases and repeatedly affects the nose, throat, and adenoid tissue. Children are usually Kapha dominant, so this imbalance develops easily after illness.

At this stage, surgery is usually not required . With proper medical support, immunity correction, and dietary regulation, significant improvement is commonly seen.

Ayurvedic medicines- can start on Sitopaladi churna 1/4 th tsp with honey twice daily after food Giloy juice 2.5 ml -0-2.5 ml Chyawanprash 1/2 tsp in the morning Anu taila 1 drop in each nostril once daily

These medicines will help reduce mucus production, nasal congestion, cough, and support immunity .

Give warm, light, and freshly prepared food like Rice gruel , khichdi,Vegetable soups,Moong dal Steamed vegetables Warm water through the day Warm milk with turmeric

Avoid Ice creams and cold drinks Curd, cheese, paneer Bakery items and biscuits Chocolates and packaged snacks Fried foods Banana and grapes at night Avoid direct fan or air conditioning on the face exposure to cold air Do chest and back massage with sesame oil at night Ensure adequate sleep and regular meal timings

If symptoms do not reduce after consistent care for 2 to 3 months or if ear problems, or disturbed sleep with loud snoring develops, then an ENT evaluation is required .

With proper dietary control, immune support, and nasal care, nasal blockage, cough, and mouth breathing usually improve gradually in children with mild adenoid hypertrophy.

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

Dr. Kirankumari Rathod
I am someone who kinda grew into Panchakarma without planning it much at first... just knew I wanted to understand the deeper layers of Ayurveda, not just the surface stuff. I did both my graduation and post-grad from Govt. Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital in Bangalore — honestly that place shaped a lot of how I think about healing, especially long-term healing. After my PG, I started working right away as an Assistant Professor & consultant in the Panchakarma dept at a private Ayurveda college. Teaching kinda made me realise how much we ourselves learn by explaining things to others... and watching patients go through their detox journeys—real raw healing—was where I got hooked. Now, with around 6 years of clinical exp in Panchakarma practice, I'm working as an Associate Professor, still in the same dept., still learning, still teaching. I focus a lot on individualised protocols—Ayurveda isn't one-size-fits-all and honestly, that’s what makes it tricky but also beautiful. Right now I’m also doing my PhD, it’s on female infertility—a topic I feel not just academically drawn to but personally invested in, cause I see how complex and layered it gets for many women. Managing that along with academics and patient care isn’t super easy, I won’t lie, but it kinda fuels each other. The classroom work helps my clinical thinking, and my clinical work makes me question things in research more sharply. There's a lot I still wanna explore—especially in how we explain Panchakarma better to newer patients. Many people still think it's just oil massage or some spa thing but the depth is wayyy beyond that. I guess I keep hoping to make that clarity come through—whether it’s in class or during a consult or even during a quick OPD chat.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

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

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

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

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