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.

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.

Hlo,

I understand your situation 🙏 — pre-diabetes plus pain and limited mobility is challenging, but it is possible to improve blood sugar and lose weight mainly through food, routine, and gentle practices, even without heavy exercise.

1️⃣ First, a reassuring truth Pre-diabetes is reversible in many people Weight loss of even 5–7 kg can significantly improve insulin sensitivity Exercise helps, but diet is the biggest factor (≈70–80%) Your limited mobility does not mean you are stuck.

2️⃣ Core principles for reversing pre-diabetes (Ayurveda + modern science)

A. Stabilize blood sugar Eat low-glycemic, high-fiber foods Avoid sugar spikes (refined carbs, frequent snacking)

B. Reduce inflammation Important for pudendal neuralgia & back pain Avoid foods that increase Ama (toxins)

C. Improve digestion (Agni) Poor digestion worsens insulin resistance

3️⃣ What to EAT (most important section) 🌿 Morning (on waking) Warm water + ½ tsp soaked methi seeds (chew & swallow) Helps insulin sensitivity

🍽️ Breakfast (choose ONE) Vegetable upma / poha (millets preferred) 2 eggs + sautéed vegetables Moong dal chilla (no rice flour) Plain curd (½ cup) + seeds (only if digestion tolerates curd)

❌ Avoid: Bread, white oats, cornflakes Fruit juice Sugar / jaggery / honey in morning

🍛 Lunch (main meal) Plate method: ½ plate vegetables (lauki, tori, bhindi, beans, cabbage) ¼ plate protein ¼ plate carbs

Good carb choices (small quantity): Brown rice (½ cup cooked) Jowar / bajra / ragi roti (1 medium)

Protein options: Dal Paneer (see paneer section below) Tofu Fish / eggs (if non-veg)

☕ Evening (if hungry) Herbal tea (cinnamon, ginger, tulsi) Handful soaked nuts (5 almonds + 2 walnuts) ❌ No biscuits, namkeen, fruits, tea with sugar

🍲 Dinner (very light) Vegetable soup + protein Stir-fried vegetables + paneer/tofu Moong dal + vegetables ⏰ Finish dinner before 7:30–8 pm

4️⃣ Foods to AVOID strictly (very important) 🚫 Sugar in any form 🚫 White rice, maida, bread, noodles 🚫 Potatoes, sweet potato (for now) 🚫 Packaged snacks, bakery items 🚫 Fruit juices, mango, chikoo, banana 🚫 Fried foods 🚫 Eating every 2 hours (constant insulin spikes)

5️⃣ Is paneer good? 🧀 Yes — but with rules ✔ Paneer is: High protein Low glycemic Helps satiety & weight loss ⚠ But: Heavy to digest Can worsen inflammation if overused ✅ Best way to eat paneer: Every other day is PERFECT Quantity: 80–100 g Cooked lightly (bhurji / sautéed), not raw Combine with vegetables Avoid at night if digestion is weak

❌ Avoid: Paneer with cream Paneer at late night Paneer daily in large quantity

6️⃣ Gentle movement (safe for limited mobility) You don’t need intense exercise. ✔ Options: Lying leg movements Pelvic floor relaxation (not strengthening) Gentle spinal stretches 10–15 min slow walking if tolerable Even 5–10 minutes after meals helps sugar control.

Ayurvedic medicines for pre-diabetes 1️⃣ Nishamalaki churna Dose: ½ tsp twice daily With: Warm water Time: Before meals Benefit: Improves insulin sensitivity

2️⃣ Gudmar (Meshashringi) churna or tablet Dose: Churna: ¼–½ tsp twice daily Tablet: 1 tablet twice daily After meals Known as “sugar destroyer”

3️⃣ Triphala churna Dose: ½ tsp at night With warm water Helps digestion, weight loss, inflammation

4️⃣ Ashwagandha (only if stress & sleep issues) Dose: 250 mg at night Avoid if you feel heaviness or sugar rises 🌿 For nerve pain & inflammation (general guidance)

Yograj Guggulu or Mahayograj Guggulu Usually 1 tablet twice daily ⚠ Must be prescribed — guggulu may not suit everyone

8️⃣ Sleep & routine (often ignored) Sleep before 10:30 pm No screens after dinner Poor sleep = higher blood sugar

9️⃣ What results to expect (if consistent) 2–3 weeks: Less cravings, better energy 4–6 weeks: Weight reduction begins 3 months: Blood sugar markers improve

I understand your concern and you are absolutely right to focus on reversing pre diabetes early especially when mobility is limited due to pudendal neuralgia and back pain This situation needs a very practical gentle and sustainable approach not extreme dieting or exercise

First reassurance pre diabetes is reversible even with low mobility if food timing food quality and insulin load are corrected consistently

Weight and sugar are mainly driven by insulin spikes not only by movement so diet becomes the main tool in your case

What to eat regularly Focus on simple home food that keeps sugar stable

Breakfast Vegetable based options are best Moong dal chilla vegetable omelette oats with vegetables or a small portion of millet porridge Avoid heavy carb breakfast

Mid meal One fruit only low glycemic like apple pear berries guava or papaya in small quantity

Lunch This should be your main meal Half plate cooked vegetables One portion protein dal curd paneer tofu or eggs One small portion carbs rice roti or millet not more than one serving Always eat vegetables first then protein then carbs

Dinner Very light and early Vegetable soup sautéed vegetables paneer tofu dal or curd Avoid rice at night

About paneer Yes paneer is good for you and safe to take every other day But quantity matters 100 to 120 grams is enough Choose fresh homemade or good quality paneer Avoid frying it

What to strictly avoid or limit Sugar sweets jaggery honey Bakery items biscuits cakes Fruit juices White rice in large quantity Potatoes refined flour fried food Late night eating

With low mobility Even gentle movement helps Short slow walks inside the house Light stretching while sitting Deep breathing helps insulin sensitivity and nerve pain

Avoid long sitting on hard surfaces Use a soft cushion Warm compress on lower back and pelvic area helps circulation

Sleep and stress control are very important Poor sleep raises sugar even without food

Hello I totally get what you’re going through. Getting that pre-diabetes diagnosis, plus dealing with weight issues and that awful pudendal neuralgia and back pain – it’s a lot to take in. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

YOUR CONCERN

* New pre-diabetes * Weight around 80 kg * Very limited movement because of nerve pain and back pain * You want to beat pre-diabetes and lose weight safely * You’re not sure about eating paneer

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

From an Ayurvedic point of view, what you’re experiencing is like the first signs of Prameha (pre-diabetes).

This means: –Your Kapha and Meda (think fat and metabolism) are a bit out of whack. –Your digestion (Agni) is a bit slow. –And because of the nerve pain, Vata is also involved.

Here’s the thing: since your Vata is already causing nerve,super strict diets, fasting, or too much exercise will just make your pain worse, even if your sugar levels drop a little. So, we need to be gentle and focus on correcting your metabolism while still giving your body what it needs.

CAN YOU FIX PRE DIABETICS WITHOUT EXERCISE?

Absolutely!

–Around 80% of the control comes from what you eat, how you digest it, and when you eat, not just from exercise.

–Even with very little movement, your blood sugar and weight can get better if we get your Agni and Kapha back on track.

AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

INTERNAL MEDICATION (To help your body use insulin better and boost metabolism)

1.Nisha Amalaki Churna:½ teaspoon twice a day before food with warm water. It helps your body handle sugar and naturally fights pre-diabetes.

2.Gudmar Capsule:500 mg twice a day after food. This helps reduce how much sugar your body soaks up and cuts down on cravings.

3.Triphala Churna: ½ teaspoon at night with warm water. Good for your gut and helps with gentle weight loss without making your Vata pain worse.

FOOD RULES

✅WHAT TO EAT

–Morning: - Warm water (maybe with soaked fenugreek seeds) –Breakfast: Veggie poha or veggie oats, moong dal chilla, stewed vegetables. –Lunch (Your main meal): A small portion of rice or millet (like foxtail or little millet), lots of cooked veggies, moong dal or masoor dal, buttermilk (only during the day, diluted, with roasted cumin). –Dinner (Keep it light!): Veggie soup, steamed vegetables. Eat early (before 7:30 pm).

IS PANEER OKAY?

Yes, but there are rules. Paneer is heavy and can increase Kapha. * Have it only once or twice a week. * Just 50–60 grams. * Best at lunch. * Don’t fry it. * Skip it at night. * ❌ Don’t eat it every other day if you have pre-diabetes and are trying to lose weight.

❌AVOID * Sugar, jaggery, honey * Bakery items, biscuits * White bread, refined flour (maida) * Fried foods * Cheese, too much paneer * Cold drinks * Eating late at night

LIFESTYLE CHANGE

* Don’t sleep during the day. * Sit for 5–10 minutes after meals (don’t lie down). * Try gentle breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom and Bhramari. * Give your lower back and pelvic area a warm oil massage (with Mahanarayana Taila) to calm your Vata.

QUICK NOTE ON EXERCISE

Because of your nerve pain:

–Don’t do intense walking or crazy gym workouts. –Even 5–10 minutes of gentle movement is a good start. –Most of your weight loss will come from fixing your metabolism, not from pushing yourself too hard physically.

What to Keep an Eye On (Tests) * Fasting blood sugar * HbA1c (every 3-6 months) * Lipid profile * Vitamin D & B12 (these are big for nerve pain)

Being consistent is way more important than being intense.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN AND YES PREDIABETES CAN BE REVERSED EVEN WITH LIMITED MOBILITY YOUR WEIGHT GAIN AND SUGAR RISE ARE MORE DUE TO INSULIN RESISTANCE AND SLOW METABOLISM THAN FOOD ALONE PANEER CAN BE TAKEN BUT ONLY IN SMALL QUANTITY AND NOT DAILY BEST TAKEN AT LUNCH TIME AND AVOID AT NIGHT FOCUS SHOULD BE ON STABILIZING SUGAR AND REDUCING ABDOMINAL FAT WITH SIMPLE CONSISTENT CARE

NISHAMALAKI CHURNA HALF TEASPOON MORNING AND EVENING BEFORE FOOD WITH WARM WATER

GUDUCHI TABLET ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD

DASHMOOLARISHTA FIFTEEN ML WITH EQUAL WATER AFTER DINNER IT ALSO HELPS NERVE PAIN AND INFLAMMATION

ASHWAGANDHA ONE TABLET AT NIGHT IF IT SUITS YOU FOR NERVE STRENGTH AND STRESS

EVEN WITH PAIN DO SHORT FREQUENT MOVEMENTS AND AVOID SITTING CONTINUOUSLY THIS IMPROVES SUGAR CONTROL WITH REGULAR USE AND DIET CONTROL SUGAR LEVELS CAN IMPROVE IN TWO TO THREE MONTHS AND WEIGHT WILL REDUCE GRADUALLY CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY

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. 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. 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. 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.

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

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. 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. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Dr. 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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.
