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.

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.

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.

Namaste Shri RP Sharma ji, Thank you for sharing detailed information. Based on your age (68 years), long-standing psoriasis (since 2005), moderate severity with weather-related flare-ups, vegetarian diet, and high BP on Concor AM 5, below is a safe Ayurvedic understanding and treatment approach. 🌿 (Advice is conservative and compatible with BP medicines.)

Ayurvedic Understanding - Psoriasis is described under Ekakushtha / Kitibha Kushtha, caused mainly by: - Vata–Kapha dominance with Rakta (blood) and Twak (skin) dushti - Long-standing toxins (Ama) lodged in skin tissues - Cold & dry weather aggravates Vata, hence winter flares - Since the disease is chronic, the aim is control, remission, and quality of life, not overnight cure.

Ayurvedic Treatment Plan (Safe for BP patients) 🔹 Internal Medicines (start low dose) - Arogyavardhini Vati 👉 1 tablet once daily after lunch ✔ Improves liver function, blood purification ⚠ Avoid high dose due to age & BP

- Gandhak Rasayan 👉 1 tablet twice daily after food ✔ Reduces scaling, itching, chronic inflammation ✔ Very safe for long-term use

- Mahamanjisthadi Kwath 👉 10–15 ml with equal warm water 👉 Once daily in the morning ✔ Best blood purifier for psoriasis ✔ Does NOT raise BP

- Avipattikar Churna 👉 ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water ✔ Prevents acidity & constipation (very important in psoriasis)

🔹 External Application - Karanja Taila + Coconut oil (1:1 mix) 👉 Apply once daily after bath on plaques ✔ Reduces scaling, dryness & itching

For scalp: 👉 Neelibhringadi oil twice weekly 👉 Wash with mild herbal shampoo (avoid medicated coal tar now)

Diet & Lifestyle (VERY IMPORTANT) ❌ Strictly Avoid Curd at night Pickles, papad, fried food Excess tea/coffee Bakery items, biscuits Tomatoes, brinjal (for 6 weeks trial) Daytime sleeping

✅ Include Moong dal, lauki, tori, pumpkin Old rice or wheat chapati Cow ghee (1 tsp daily) Warm water sipping Light morning walk + sunlight Seasonal Care (Weather Trigger) Winter: Apply oil daily, avoid cold exposure Do not scratch lesions Keep skin always moisturized

Regarding BP Medicine ✔ Continue Concor AM 5 as prescribed

❌ Avoid self-medicating herbs like: Guggulu in high doses Strong detox without supervision

Expected Results - Itching & scaling ↓ in 4–6 weeks - Patch thickness ↓ in 2–3 months

Long-term remission possible with regularity Important Note Because of your age + BP, Panchakarma (Virechan/Basti) should be done ONLY under supervision, not at home.

Hello Sharma ji I really admire your patience and how strong you’ve been. Dealing with psoriasis since 2005, trying everything, and still having daily discomfort is tough, especially at 68. First off, know this: you can get your psoriasis much better, even after all these years. But it needs a deep, consistent Ayurvedic approach, not just creams.

YOUR CONCERN

– Name: RP Sharma – Age: 68 – Psoriasis since 2005 (that’s 20 years!) – It’s on your: Scalp, ears, elbows, back of your hands, butt, thighs, legs – How bad it is: Medium, with patches coming and going – What makes it worse: Weather changes – What you eat: Mostly veggies – Something else: High blood pressure – Your medicine: Concor AM 5 (since 2011)

What you’re worried about: – Is there any hope for treatment after so long? – Can Ayurveda help without messing with your BP meds?

HOW AYURVEDA SEES IT (EASY TO UNDERSTAND) Psoriasis, in Ayurveda, is like a type of Kushta and mostly involves: – Too much Pitta + Kapha – that’s why you get redness, inflammation, and those thick, dry patches.

– Rakta Dhatu Dushti (think of it as impure blood) – this makes it long-lasting and causes flare-ups.

– Vata getting involved (because of your age and how long you’ve had it) – this brings the dryness, cracking, and why it spreads.

Since you’ve had this for a while, just treating the surface won’t cut it. You need a full plan: cleansing (Shodhana), medicines (Shamana), and a strict diet.

BIG SAFETY WARNING ⚠️ – DO NOT stop your Concor AM 5. – The Ayurvedic medicines I’m suggesting are safe for BP, but you should still keep an eye on your blood pressure. – Any Panchakarma treatments must be done with a doctor watching over you.

YOUR AYURVEDIC PLAN

PHASE 1 : Getting Your Digestion Right (First 2-3 weeks)

1. Arogyavardhini Vati – Take 1 tablet after lunch – Helps your liver and how your body uses food (super important for skin issues)

2. Triphala Churna – Have half a teaspoon with warm water before bed – Gently cleanses and keeps your bowels regular

PHASE 2 : Cleaning Your Blood & Healing Your Skin (3-6 months)

3. Mahamanjisthadi Kashayam – Mix 15 ml with the same amount of warm water – Take it twice a day before meals

4. Gandhak Rasayan – Take 1 tablet twice a day after meals – Very helpful for psoriasis that’s been around for a while

5. Guduchi Ghana Vati – Take 1 tablet twice a day after meals – Boosts your immune system and reduces flare-ups

FOR YOUR SKIN (TO HELP THINGS ALONG)

–777 Oil – Rub a thin layer on once a day after your bath. –For your scalp: Malatyadi taila – Use 2-3 times a week before washing your hair. –Stay away from steroid creams for long-term use.

PANCHAKARMA (I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THIS)

For something you’ve had for 20 years, medicines alone will be slow. The best options (always with a doctor’s guidance): – Virechana – to cleanse Pitta and blood. – Basti therapy – to help with Vata and the long-term nature of it. These often make the condition go away for a good long time.

YOUR DIET – YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THIS

✅ WHAT YOU CAN EAT: – Rice, wheat (not too much) – Moong dal – Lauki, tori, pumpkin – Only homemade food – Ghee (a little bit)

❌ ABSOLUTELY AVOID: – Curd (especially at night) – Sour stuff – Pickles – Fermented foods – Bakery items – Too much salt – Brinjal, tomato (at first)

Seriously, just changing your diet can make your flare-ups 40-50% better!

DAILY HABITS – Don’t get too cold – Massage your body with oil (sesame or coconut) before your bath – Try to reduce stress – Get enough sleep – A little sunlight is good (but not harsh sun)

Psoriasis can be managed, but it’s not a quick fix.

Sharma ji, your age and how long you’ve had this don’t mean you can’t get better. Many people with 15-25 years of psoriasis improve a lot when: * They’ve done proper cleansing. * They stick to their diet. * They take their medicines regularly.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Hello, RP sharmaji,

I understand how exhausting it is to live with psoriasis for so many years, especially when it involves multiple areas like scalp years, elbows, palms, buttocks, thighs, Lex, and when you have already tried many systems without blasting relief, long standing psoriasis usually becomes a chronic internal imbalance rather than just skin problem and weather sensitivity. Further confirms this external application alone cannot control it fully.

From an Ayurvedic point of view, this condition needs internal purification, gentle correction of digestion and blood quality along with calming of inflammation. While keeping your age and blood pressure medicine in mind, the treatment must be safe, steady and non-aggressive.

You can start with

Gandhak rasayana one tablet twice daily after food Arogyavardini vati one tablet twice daily after food Giloy sat to pinch with warm water Neem capsule one capsule twice daily after food

Mahamanjistadi aristha 4 teaspoon with equal amount of water twice daily after meals Triphala churna 1 teaspoon with warm water at night

This medicines are generally compatible with BP medicines, but still monitoring BP regularly is advised, but keep a gap of between half an hour between Ayurveda and Alapati medicines

Apply Neem or 777 oil over the affected areas

Avoid curd at night, spicy sour, fermented, fried food Limit bakery items, sugar, and packaged food Include simple, warm, vegetarian, food, vegetables, guard, carrot, green, leafy vegetables Avoid day, sleep, and excessive cold exposure Protect skin from extreme cold and dryness

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?

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.

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. Iravathi Adepu
I am working in Ayurveda with a kind of steady focus on really seeing what each patient needs, and I usually start from the classical principles—trying to understand the dosha shifts, the nidana behind their troubles, and why the body reacting in that particular way. From there I put together indivdualised plans, mixing Panchakarma when needed, diet changes, herbal meds, lifestyle modifications… sometimes all together if the case feels layered or chronic. I manage a wide mix of issues—like acute digestive flares, long-standing arthritis pains, different types of skin problems, and these growing lifestyle disorders that so many ppl struggle with. A lot of time goes into explaining things too, helping them follow small steps like Dinacharya or Ritucharya without feeling pressured. I kinda feel that education is half of the treatment in Ayurveda, honestly. I also consult for clients from other countries, where the main work becomes guiding them towards practical Ayurvedic routines they can actually do where they live. And at times I design whole rejuvenation or lifestyle programs, trying to align diet, yoga, daily habits, stress-handling strategies… the whole picture, not just the medicine part. Some days it flows easily, some days I tweak the plans three times until they makes sense. There’s also the follow-up part, which I try to take seriously because holistic healing isn’t instant. I keep track of how their sleep, digestion or mental ease is shifting, and if something not working, I change it without waiting too long. I like staying involved that way, supporting them through the process rather than handing a plan and stepping back. Maybe I overdo it a bit, but to me it feels right. And somewhere in all this, I keep reminding myself that Ayurveda works best when treatment is personal and humane, even if the days get a little chaotic or the schedule runs longer than I excpect.

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. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

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. 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. Pawan Kumar
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician trying to blend traditional healing wisdom with the practical side of modern medical principles, and honestly some days I feel like I’m juggling two mindsets at once. I stay strongly committed to preventive healthcare and holistic wellness, because most patients come in with things that started long before the symptoms showed up, even if they don’t realise it. Sometimes I pause mid-consult thinking *wait, did I explain that right…?* but then I go on because clarity matters more than perfect phrasing. My work focuses on managing both chronic and acute conditions with a patient-centered approach that’s compassionate but still evidence-informed. I look closely at digestion patterns, sleep cycles, emotional load, those tiny habits that people forget to mention until the very end of the conversation. A missed comma in my notes or a slightly messy sentence happens,, yet the intention stays steady—to understand the root of the issue, not just list symptoms. I try to integrate classical Ayurvedic diagnostics with updated clinical reasoning, adjusting treatment plans when a patient’s routine doesn’t quite match the textbook flow. Sometimes I rethink a plan halfway because a stray detail suddenly makes sense, and yes that back-and-forth feels a bit chaotic but it actually makes the care more personal. Preventive guidance forms a big part of my consultations: diet changes, lifestyle tuning, simple daily routines that reduce long-term risk. People often expect complicated solutions, but I remind them that small shifts work better—though I might stumble over a word or two while explaining! My aim is always to create a space where healing feels approachable and real. Not polished, not rushed, just thoughtful Ayurveda blended with practical understanding of modern healthcare… even if a typo sneaks in or a thought drifts sideways for a moment.

Dr. Soukhya Hiremath
I am Dr Soukhya, completed my BAMS degree under Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science, and sometimes I still can’t believe how fast that year of full-time practice went by… feels like I m still figuring small things while already handling so many female disorders and skin related conditions every day. I work mostly with Ayurveda treatments for gynic cases, hormonal ups-and-downs, chronic skin troubles and a few other things that always need more gentle hands than people expect. I am practicing for a year now, but honestly the learning kind of never stop, each patient shows something new… sometimes I even pause thinking “wait, did I explain that right” and then go again with more clarity. My focus stays on understanding the root-cause, balancing doshas properly, and giving care that feel practical not over complicated. I treated many gynic issues, from irregular cycles to pregnency related discomforts, and a lot of cosmetology concerns too (acne, pigmentation and stuff that people get worried about really quickly!). I am also running offline yoga classes for pregnant women and others too… it started simple but grew into this small supportive space where I see how much differnce breathing and mindful movement makes. Sometimes the schedule gets messy, or I m not sure if the batch timing was perfect, but the sessions still turn meaningful. Ayurveda, yoga, routine corrections — all these tie together in my approach. I try to keep things straighforward, even if my notes get a bit scattered here and there or a comma miss somewhere, but the intention stays steady: help people feel better with methods that respect body’s natural healing.

Dr. Sumit Tasgaonkar
I am Dr. Sumit S. Tasgaonkar — a BAMS doc who also went on to complete MS in Ayurveda surgery, along with CGO and PGDEMS. Kinda feels like I’m always learning. And maybe that’s what keeps me grounded — balancing classical Ayurvedic wisdom with real-time medical emergencies or even modern diagnostic tools. I don’t see these systems as opposites... for me, they compliment each other when you look closely enough. My work mostly revolves around chronic diseases, metabolic issues, lifestyle mess (and there’s plenty of it these days), and women’s health conditions — PCOS, hormonal imbalance, gynec stuff that needs long-term attention. I use Panchakarma, herbal meds, diet correction, sometimes just shifting someone’s daily habits does more than we expect. But it’s never one-size-fits-all. I take a lot of time getting to the root cause — dosha imbalance, agni disturbance, whatever is underneath the visible stuff. Patients dealing with arthritis, stress, skin flareups, digestion trouble — I’ve seen all of that and more. And every case teaches something new. I’m super keen on tracking progress too. Like we keep tweaking, adjusting as per prakriti and vikriti, not just protocol-for-all. And honestly, the most satisfying part? when patients tell me they feel like themselves again. I started Tasgaonkar Medical Foundation with a big dream of bringing authentic Ayurveda to more people, esp. rural areas where choices are limited. We still keep prices fair and try not to compromise on classical principles. Accessibility doesn’t mean diluting the science — that’s always been important to me. What I really want is to see more people actually understand their health. Not just pop pills or mask symptoms. I wanna give them the tools — through knowledge, through food, through breath — to live lighter and healthier. And ya, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes you doubt, sometimes you adjust everything mid-plan... but that's Ayurveda too. Listening, observing, and flowing with the body, not against it.
