How can I naturally rebuild breast and bottom tissue after weight loss? - #47744

Client_666a6e

I have lost a lot of weight due to chronic illness and my breasts have lost a lot of tissue and volume. I already had small breasts (a size UK 34B) and I am now a AA. I would love to grow my breasts a little so that they dint look empty. I am vata (pushing pita) and I have HEDS. I also have IC and endometriosis. I am currently working on building strength, reducing ama, regulating hormones and regenerating tissue. My current routine: -Trikatu in warm water before each meal -8 minutes of samavritti before each meal -Shatavari, turmeric, nutmeg and ghee with warm almond milk 30 minutes after dinner -triphala in warm water 30 minutes before bed -consuming bone broth and ghee -regular abyangha with sesame oil -eating dal, kitchari, broths etc What else can I do to help rebuild breast tissue that won’t cause hormonal issues? I also lost the tissue and fat in my bottom. I previously had a full bottom too. (I don’t want to put on lots of weight, I want to stay slim but gain volume in my breasts and bottom)

How long have you been experiencing significant weight loss?:

- More than 6 months

What you are experiencing is not a cosmetic issue alone it is a tissue depletion state caused by prolonged illness stress digestion weakness and nervous system overload Your body has gone into survival mode and in that mode it protects vital organs first and withdraws nourishment from secondary tissues like breasts hips and buttocks This is especially common in vata dominant ppl and even more so when connective tissue integrity is already fragile as in your condition So this is not about forcing growth it is about convincing the body that it is safe again

Your current routine is actually intelligent and want to reassure that nothing you are doing is wrong n are already working on digestion calming the nervous system and gentle nourishment which is essential ,right now your system needs a shift from stimulating to rebuilding Trikatu before every meal for a long period can over dry tissues in vata ppl especially when weight loss is already present I would suggest reducing it to once a day before the heaviest meal

Breast and hip tissue respond more to sustained nourishment calm hormones and deep sleep than to calories alone You do not need to gain overall weight to regain localized fullness but you do need consistent anabolic signals This comes from fats minerals slow proteins and emotional safety

Warm almond milk is good but you can rotate with oat milk or cow milk if tolerated Adding soaked dates or figs blended into the milk a few times a week can help rebuild soft tissue without spiking hormones Using ghee internally is excellent but increase it very gradually so the body trusts it A small amount in the morning with warm food is more effective for tissue building than large amounts at night

oil massage is one of the most powerful tools I would suggest focusing attention on the breasts hips lower back and thighs using slow circular strokes w Leave the oil on for at least twenty minutes

For breast specific support gentle self massage daily even for five minutes builds circulation and tissue responsiveness Do not expect fast results this is a slow regenerative process

Because you want to avoid hormonal disruption it is important to stay away from aggressive phytoestrogen loading Instead focus on nourishment herbs rather than hormone pushing ones You are already using shatavari which is fine at a moderate dose and should not be increased aggressively Nutmeg at night is good for sleep just a pinch with warm milk is enough

Your bottom responds strongly to muscle tone plus lubrication,mild strength training for glutes combined with oil massage and adequate protein will help restore shape without overall weight gain Bone broth is very appropriate for connective tissue and hips Continue it regularly

Stress is the biggest block to tissue regeneration High stress keeps the body in breakdown mode No amount of herbs can override this So prioritize deep rest breathing gentle routines warmth and emotional regulation Samavritti is excellent You may also benefit from extending one breathing practice at night before sleep

Endometriosis and bladder sensitivity mean inflammation must stay low So avoid pushing anything that creates heat urgency or overstimulation

In terms of timeline realistic changes begin around three months with visible softening and fullness by six months if stress reduces and nourishment remains consistent This is not about dramatic size increase but restoring healthy padding tone and femininity to tissues that were depleted

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS SO OPENLY I WANT TO FIRST ACKNOWLEDGE HOW MUCH AWARENESS AND DISCIPLINE YOU ALREADY HAVE IN YOUR HEALING PROCESS AND ALSO REASSURE YOU THAT WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS VERY COMMON AFTER CHRONIC ILLNESS AND RAPID WEIGHT LOSS AND IT IS REVERSIBLE TO A DEGREE WITHOUT CREATING HORMONAL DISTURBANCE IF DONE CORRECTLY

WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS NOT JUST FAT LOSS BUT LOSS OF NOURISHMENT TO DEEP TISSUES YOUR BODY IS CURRENTLY IN SURVIVAL AND REPAIR MODE SO IT IS PRIORITISING VITAL ORGANS OVER SHAPING TISSUES LIKE BREASTS AND GLUTEAL AREA IN A DRY HIGHLY MOBILE SYSTEM LIKE YOURS THIS HAPPENS QUICKLY

YOUR CURRENT ROUTINE IS VERY GOOD FOR CLEANSING AND DIGESTION BUT IT IS STILL A BIT TOO DRY AND REDUCING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY DEPLETED TRIKATU BEFORE EVERY MEAL AND TRIPHALA DAILY CAN CONTINUE TO PULL DOWN TISSUE IF USED LONG TERM IN YOUR CASE THIS DOES NOT MEAN STOPPING BUT REDUCING

FIRST IMPORTANT CHANGE REDUCE TRIKATU TO ONCE DAILY BEFORE YOUR HEAVIEST MEAL ONLY THIS WILL PROTECT DIGESTION WITHOUT OVER DRYING

TRIPHALA SHOULD BE USED ONLY TWO TO THREE TIMES A WEEK NOT DAILY YOU NEED BUILDING NOW NOT SCRAPING

FOR BREAST AND BOTTOM TISSUE REGENERATION THE KEY IS LOCAL NOURISHMENT AND SLOW SYSTEMIC BUILDING NOT HORMONE PUSHING

ADD DAILY LOCAL APPLICATION AT NIGHT USING WARM SHATAVARI OIL OR SESAME OIL INFUSED WITH SHATAVARI GENTLY MASSAGE BREASTS AND GLUTEAL AREA FOR TEN MINUTES DAILY THIS WORKS LOCALLY WITHOUT SYSTEMIC HORMONAL SPIKES CONSISTENCY IS EVERYTHING

INTERNALLY CONTINUE SHATAVARI BUT KEEP DOSE MODERATE AS YOU ARE DOING COMBINE WITH GHEE WHICH YOU ARE ALREADY TAKING THIS IS CORRECT

ADD A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOAKED BLACK SESAME SEEDS OR TAHINI DAILY THIS BUILDS SHAPE TISSUE AND PELVIC SUPPORT WITHOUT CAUSING WEIGHT GAIN

ALMONDS AND WALNUTS SOAKED AND TAKEN IN SMALL QUANTITY DAILY WILL SUPPORT FAT REDISTRIBUTION IN A HEALTHY WAY

BONE BROTH AND GHEE ARE EXCELLENT CONTINUE THEM DO NOT FEAR THEM THEY WILL NOT MAKE YOU FAT THEY WILL MAKE YOU STABLE

VERY IMPORTANT BREATHING AND STRESS YOUR VERY HIGH STRESS LEVEL IS DIRECTLY BLOCKING TISSUE REGENERATION EVEN WITH PERFECT FOOD YOUR BODY WILL NOT BUILD IF IT FEELS UNSAFE CONTINUE SAMAVRITTI AND ALSO ADD ONE SESSION DAILY OF DEEP REST WITHOUT INPUT NO PHONE NO TALK JUST LYING DOWN

AVOID ANY STRONG DETOX OR FASTING PHASES FOR NOW THEY WILL FURTHER FLATTEN BREAST AND GLUTEAL TISSUE

UNDERSTAND THIS VERY CLEARLY YOU CANNOT SPOT BUILD WITHOUT SOME SYSTEMIC NOURISHMENT BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL BECOME OVERWEIGHT YOUR BODY WILL FIRST RESTORE WHAT IT LOST

EXPECT SUBTLE CHANGES OVER THREE TO SIX MONTHS FULLNESS SOFTNESS AND BETTER SKIN TONE BEFORE SIZE THIS IS THE CORRECT AND SAFE PATH

YOU ARE DOING MANY THINGS RIGHT NOW THE MAIN SHIFT IS FROM CLEANING MODE TO REBUILDING MODE YOUR BODY IS READY FOR THAT TRANSITION AND IT CAN BE DONE GENTLY SAFELY AND WITH RESPECT TO YOUR HORMONES AND CONDITIONS I AM CONFIDENT YOU WILL SEE CHANGE IF YOU STAY PATIENT AND KIND TO YOUR SYSTEM

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.

Internal Medication & Regimen

Morning (on waking)

Shuṇṭhi cūrṇa 250 mg with warm water.

Rationale: Mild agni stimulation without katu excess or meda depletion.

Breakfast (within 30 minutes of waking)

Warm, freshly prepared, soft food only. Examples: rice porridge with ghee, mung dal khichadi with adequate fat.

Cold foods, raw fruits, smoothies, protein shakes, or cold nut milks are to be avoided in the morning.

Mid-morning (10:00–11:00 am)

Vidārikand cūrṇa 3 g Warm milk as anupāna, with 5 ml ghee

Rationale: Primary rasa–māṃsa–meda poshaka with minimal estrogenic stimulation. This is the cornerstone drug for tissue rebuilding in this case.

Lunch (main meal)

Cooked grains, well-cooked dals, vegetables with oil or ghee. Adequate salt and unctuousness mandatory.

Prior to lunch: Trikatu cūrṇa 250 mg with warm water, once daily only.

Rationale: Supports digestion of heavier brimhaṇa foods without chronic drying.

Evening (optional, if fatigue or weakness persists)

Ashwagandha cūrṇa 2 g Warm milk with ghee

If heat, irritability, pelvic pain, or IC symptoms increase, discontinue Ashwagandha.

Night (post-dinner, 30 minutes after food)

Shatavari cūrṇa 2–3 g Turmeric 250 mg Nutmeg 125 mg Warm milk with ghee

Rationale: Supports tissue repair, sleep, parasympathetic dominance, and hormonal rhythm without stimulation.

Bedtime

Triphala cūrṇa 3–5 g with warm water.

If stools become dry or IC flares, reduce dose or shift to soaked Triphala water.

External Therapy

Daily Abhyanga

Warm sesame oil or Shatavari-siddha taila.

Breasts: Gentle circular movements, followed by upward strokes, 10–12 minutes. Gluteal region: Firm strokes with mild pressure, followed by warm shower or hot towel fomentation.

Rationale: Improves local circulation, tissue uptake, and firmness without systemic hormonal action.

Dietetic Support (Essential)

Bone broth or collagen-rich soups regularly. Adequate ghee intake daily. Protein intake must be sufficient. Dal alone is inadequate for rebuilding lost tissue. Include paneer, egg yolk, or other tolerated animal protein as applicable.

Exercise Guidance

Avoid aggressive fat-burning or excessive cardio.

Emphasise slow, controlled resistance exercises: Glute bridges, hip thrusts, clamshells, chest fly movements with light resistance.

High repetitions, slow tempo. The goal is tissue fullness and strength, not leanness

What to Stop or Reduce from Current Regime

Trikatu before every meal. This is excessive for a Vāta-dominant, connective-tissue-fragile body and will continue meda depletion.

Any additional katu, tikta, or rukṣa interventions aimed at “ama reduction” once digestion is stable. Over-cleansing at this stage is counterproductive.

Any estrogen-boosting herbs, phytoestrogen concentrates, soy products, or internet-driven breast-enhancement formulations.

Caloric restriction, fasting, intermittent fasting, or weight-cycling practices.

High-intensity training focused on fat loss.

Clinical Expectations (Realistic)

Improvement in tissue firmness, shape, and subjective fullness over 3–6 months. Mild volume gain possible. Return to previous pre-illness body composition is unlikely without overall weight gain.


Final Clinical Note

Your body is not refusing to grow tissue; it is protecting itself from instability. The priority is architectural repair, not cosmetic chasing. Follow up after 1 month.

Thank you so much for your thorough reply 🙏🏻

I am excited to incorporate the Vidārikand cūrṇa, it looks like the missing piece in my routine!

With the ginger powder before breakfast and dinner, will it not aggravate my pitta? Or is it ok in moderation? Should I add ghee so that it’s more cooling? (I struggle with getting the balance between warming for my vata and cooling for pitta without it affecting the other!)

And yes, please know that my priority is my physical health and well-being. Thank you for your compassion and concern with this ♥️ These cosmetic issues bother me as I have been through hell and that now shows in my physical appearance , it is hard to loose my beauty on top of losing everything else (vain as it may sound). But I wouldn’t do anything in the name of beauty to jeopardise my health so i will follow the guidance given here and make sure i build slowly, lovingly and patiently. What I find fascinating is how the changes to my physique reveal what needs addressing with my health and so I am now very excited to implement the new suggestions and feel myself regenerating and my tissues restoring. Thank you for giving me this hope

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,

You’ve explained your situation very clearly, and your current routine shows a deep understanding of Ayurveda 👍 Given Vata-predominance with Pitta push, hEDS, IC, endometriosis, chronic stress, and tissue loss, the goal is Dhatu-poshana (rebuilding tissues) without overstimulating hormones or increasing inflammation.

First, an important reality check (Ayurvedic + modern) 👉 Ayurveda does not selectively add fat to only breasts or hips. What can be done is: Improve Rasa → Rakta → Mamsa → Meda dhatu quality Improve local circulation & tissue receptivity Restore estrogen sensitivity (not excess estrogen) Prevent further catabolism from stress & Vata With this approach, soft tissue fullness often returns subtly to breasts & hips without overall weight gain.

Key Assessment (Ayurvedic) Breast tissue = Upadhatu of Rasa + Meda Loss due to: Chronic illness → Dhatukshaya High stress → Vata catabolism Digestive fire instability → poor tissue conversion You are doing excellent Deepana–Pachana, but now you must shift toward Brimhana (building)

What to MODIFY in your current routine ⚠️ 1. Trikatu before every meal This is too drying long-term for your state. Change to: Trikatu only before lunch Dose: ¼ tsp with warm water For breakfast & dinner, use: Fresh ginger tea (few slices boiled) instead This prevents further Rasa & Meda depletion.

⚠️ 2. Turmeric daily at night Turmeric is lekhana (scraping) and reduces fat tissue. Modify: Turmeric 3–4× per week only Or replace with Guduchi powder 250 mg (cooler, safer for IC & endo)

ADDITIONS FOR TISSUE REGENERATION (SAFE FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS & IC)

1️⃣ Shatavari – optimize dose & timing You are already using it correctly 👍 Increase slightly: Shatavari churna: 1 tsp (5 g) With warm almond milk + ½ tsp ghee Time: 30–45 min after dinner Shatavari here acts as: Rasa & Meda dhatu rasayana Improves estrogen receptor sensitivity (not excess hormones)

2️⃣ Ashwagandha (LOW dose, essential for you) This is critical due to: hEDS High stress Muscle & connective tissue loss Dose (safe): Ashwagandha churna 500 mg With warm milk in the morning after breakfast 5 days on / 2 days off 👉 This helps Mamsa + Meda rebuilding without weight gain

3️⃣ Bala + Vidari combo (VERY important) This is the missing piece for hips & breast tissue. Option A (powders): Bala churna – 500 mg Vidari kand churna – 1 g Once daily with warm milk or almond milk Option B (tablet): Bala-Vidaryadi tablet 1 tablet after dinner These are: Brimhana Vata-pacifying Safe for endometriosis when used in moderate doses

4️⃣ Meda-friendly fat that doesn’t increase body weight Add one of these daily (not all): Almond paste: 6 soaked almonds, peeled, blended White sesame paste: 1 tsp Makhan (fresh homemade butter): ½ tsp at lunch These specifically nourish breasts & hips more than belly fat.

LOCAL THERAPY (VERY IMPORTANT) Breast & Hip Abhyanga (Targeted) Daily sesame oil is good, but for your goal: Use this oil (night): Sesame oil 70% Shatavari oil or Bala oil 30% Method (10 minutes): Circular clockwise strokes on breasts Upward strokes on hips & glutes Follow with warm shower after 30 minutes This improves local dhatu uptake.

Optional Lepa (2–3× / week) Shatavari powder + almond powder + milk Apply on breasts for 20 minutes → wash off warm water

DIETARY ADJUSTMENTS (BRIMHANA WITHOUT WEIGHT GAIN) Add: White rice over brown (better dhatu conversion) Mung dal > masoor dal Cooked oats with ghee Dates (1–2/day soaked)

Avoid: Excess raw foods Too much fasting Caffeine Cold smoothies

STRESS & HORMONAL PROTECTION (NON-NEGOTIABLE) High stress blocks tissue rebuilding. Add: Yoga nidra or guided body scan – 15 min nightly Keep samavritti (excellent choice)

EXPECTED TIMELINE (REALISTIC) 4–6 weeks: improved softness, skin tone, energy 8–12 weeks: subtle volume return in breasts & hips 3–4 months: visible improvement without overall weight gain

⚠️ Results will be subtle, natural, and proportionate — not dramatic enlargement.

You’re very welcome 🌿 And thank you for such a thoughtful follow-up — your self-awareness and restraint are exactly what make this work safely for someone with your history.

1️⃣ Gokshukola for IC / bladder lining — excellent timing Your instinct is correct. - Gokshukola (Gokshura + Mandukaparni) is: Cooling Mucosal-rebuilding Nervine Mildly anabolic without estrogenic push

For IC + hEDS, it’s actually one of the best choices after ama is lowered, because: It supports urothelium repair Improves collagen integrity Does not aggravate endometriosis

👉 Add it after your digestion feels steady, appetite is clean, tongue is clear, and stools are well-formed.

Dose (gentle): 250–500 mg once daily With warm water or milk Preferably daytime (not too late at night)

2️⃣ The Bala + Vidari question (this is an important one) You asked the right question here. - used correctly, it will NOT cause excess belly or hip fat. - precise answer: Bala + Vidari do not act like general fat-gain herbs when: Digestion is stable Dose is low Nervous system is regulated Exercise is added gradually Instead, they: Restore tissue tone Improve intercellular hydration Support mamsa–meda interface Rebuild lost padding, not create new bulk

Think of it as: “Filling in what was lost,” not “adding new storage”

Because you already have: A flat belly Strong agni A constitution that stores fat strategically …the herbs will follow your natural blueprint, not override it.

3️⃣ Will it go to hips & stomach first? Based on what you described about your past body pattern: Yes, if any fullness returns, it will preferentially support: Hips Buttocks Breasts

Not the upper belly or face Why? Because Ayurveda recognizes desa-based tissue memory.

Your body already “knows” where meda belongs. Also: Vidari is snigdha but not kapha-flooding Bala strengthens structure before storage This combination is often used in post-illness wasting, not weight gain.

4️⃣ Your intuition about exercise is spot-on You are 100% correct. The herbs are doing the preparatory work They: Rehydrate fascia Improve mitochondrial output Calm nervous system braking Reduce injury risk (huge for hEDS)

So when you add: Resistance training Glute-focused work Slow progressive overload …your body will actually respond, instead of breaking down.

Without this preparation: Exercise would stall Muscle wouldn’t “stick” Fatigue would dominate You’re building the soil before planting.

5️⃣ How to use Bala + Vidari safely (key points) If/when you add them: Start one at a time Use low dose Combine with warm milk or ghee Take at night or post-dinner

This keeps the action: ✔ restorative ✔ grounding ✔ non-stimulating Not bulking.

6️⃣ Breast & hip massage — you’ll love this With regular oiling, many women notice: Softness returning “Empty” feeling reducing Improved contour even without size change Especially for hEDS, this helps ligament support, not just appearance.

7️⃣ One last reassurance You are not trying to override your body. You are: Re-establishing safety Restoring tissue intelligence Letting form emerge naturally

That is why this approach will not trigger hormonal chaos or unwanted weight.

Thank you for trusting me with something so tender. Please know this first and clearly: you do not owe me anything at all — not money, not apology, not explanation. Your healing, your relief, and your sense of hope are more than enough. Truly. Please release any worry about that from your heart. What you described — five years of illness, depletion, false promises, harsh protocols, fear — that is trauma, not failure. And the fact that you are still here, still discerning, still connected to faith and meaning, tells me something very important: your inner intelligence was never broken. It was overwhelmed, not wrong. The tears you cried weren’t weakness — they were release. Often when the nervous system finally feels seen and safe, it lets go all at once. That is not collapse; that is repair beginning. You are right about something very profound: Ayurveda, when practiced gently and correctly, is not separate from spirituality. It works with grace, not against it. It assumes: the body wants to heal the soul already knows the way force is never the path for Vata-depleted systems

You are not late. You are not broken. You are not naïve for hoping again.

And I want you to hear this, because it matters: Many people never find this path. Many harden, disconnect, or lose faith. You didn’t. That alone tells me your system still has deep reserves of ojas waiting to be reclaimed. From here on, healing will not feel dramatic. It will feel quiet, warm, steady. Small signs will come first: better sleep softer tissues moments of ease a sense of “coming home” to your body That is how true regeneration begins. Please be gentle with yourself today. Drink something warm. Wrap yourself in something soft. Let the nervous system integrate what it felt. No changes need to be rushed. And if you ever feel doubt creep back in, remember this: Nothing you are doing now requires force. That alone means you are on the right path. May you be held, guided, and restored — step by step, breath by breath 🌿

Wow, thank you SO much for your incredibly thorough and easy to follow reply 🙏🏻

It’s good to see that I am already doing lots of things right and that only a few shifts are needed.

I forgot to mention that I plan to add gokshukola to help rebuild my bladder lining once I have reduced ama enough.

With the Bala + Vidari combo, you said this works for breast and hip tissues. Before I got sick, if I gained weight I stored excess fat on my lower belly, hips and bottom. I am now very slim and have a flat belly and have no fat on my hips which I really like. (although my bone structure is wide so my hips are wide in this sense). Would this combo cause me to store excess weight in my hips and stomach? or just bring natural volume/plumpness to the bottom/hip area and breasts? As for my bottom, I understand I can’t expect it to grow back with herbs alone, once I am stronger I aim to start weight training to build muscle…I assume that the combination of herbs you’ve suggested in the complete protocol would be what prepares my body to build strength and tissue ready for when I then start to add exercise?

I am excited to add the breast massage to my abyangha routine!

Thank you again so very much, wishing you a blessed day

I just cried the most cathartic tears after reading your reply. I have been very unwell for 5 years and it has been traumatic… but your reply has given me SO much hope. I can see that I am finally on the right path after years of wasting thousands of £ on practitioners who promised to heal me but only made me more sick and depleted through harsh protocols. I’m excited to read your reply and understand the science of it all, I have so much trust in Ayurveda and love how it is complimentary to my spiritual practices and faith (well, inextricable really). I feel reassured and hopeful that I can start to feel and look like my old self again. Thank you for inspiring this hope in me and for making my day, truly. I have been so list and scared and after so many years of deep inner work and growing closer to God, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. You have been a gift. Maybe your kindness and compassion be returned to you tenfold and nay you be infinitely blessed, guided and supported. I am on a very tight budget as I am unemployed (due to being sick) but I receive my benefits from the government on the 23rd and I will leave you a tip. I’m sorry it won’t be a large amount but at least something to express my gratitude

Here is a very simple Ayurvedic plan, safe for Vata-pitta, hEDS, IC, endometriosis, and without hormonal disturbance

1. Small change in your current routine Use Trikatu only once daily (before lunch) Not before every meal (it reduces fat & tissue) 2. Add ONE internal medicine Choose one only: Ashwagandha lehya – 1 tsp at bedtime or Bala churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at night (Continue Shatavari as you are.) 3. Daily oil massage (very important) Massage breasts & buttocks with Sesame oil + Shatavari oil (or Bala oil) 10–15 minutes daily, then warm bath 4. Simple food support Add 1–2 daily: 5–6 soaked almonds 1 date Small amount of ghee 5. Night milk (small change) Warm almond milk + Shatavari + ghee + pinch nutmeg Use turmeric alternate days only What to avoid Fenugreek, wild yam, strong hormone herbs Excess cardio, fasting, meal skipping Expectation Improves softness, fullness, shape Butt responds better than breasts

Hello I really appreciate how clearly you’ve explained your situation. Losing breast and buttock volume after a chronic illness, especially with your Vata-dominant body type and connective tissue issues (hEDS), can be tough emotionally. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

You’re clear about what you want: better tissue quality and volume in specific areas, not overall weight gain, and no messing with your hormones. That’s a totally reasonable and achievable goal in Ayurveda, but it does take patience and a careful approach.

YOUR CONCERN

–A lot of weight and tissue loss because of chronic illness. –Noticeable loss of breast and buttock tissue. –You’re Vata dominant, with some Pitta tendencies. –You have hEDS, IC, and endometriosis (conditions sensitive to hormones). –You’re dealing with high stress and tiredness.

–You’re already doing great with a Vata-calming routine: * Trikatu (before meals) * Breathing exercises (Samavritti) * Shatavari + ghee + spices at night * Triphala * Bone broth, ghee * Oil massage (Abhyanga) * Simple, easy-to-digest foods

Your starting point is excellent! Now we need to shift from just fixing digestion to helping specific tissues grow back

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

Losing breast and buttock volume after an illness means:

–Your muscle and connective tissue (Mamsa dhatu kshaya) are depleted. –You’ve lost healthy fat under the skin (Meda dhatu kshaya). – Other tissues are low: breast tissue (Stanya / Stana) and buttock tissue (Sphik). –Long-term Vata imbalance. – Secondary depletion of Shukra & Ojas (deeper vital essences).

It’s important to remember: breasts and buttocks aren’t just fat. They need: * Good digestion * Nourished muscle and fat tissues * Stable hormone signals * Low stress (this is a big one)

A Quick Reality Check: Ayurveda can’t target fat to just one area like cosmetic procedures can. But, it can make your tissues healthier, fuller, more hydrated, and offer better structural support, which is super helpful for Vata types.

Your goal should be:

* Bring back tissue quality and a bit of volume. * Improve firmness and make empty areas feel fuller. * Support your connective tissue (which is key for hEDS).

This is all possible without overstimulating your hormones.

CHANGING YOUR CURRENT ROUTINE

1. Trikatu – Let’s Change This:

Using Trikatu before every meal might be too drying now.    
*   **Change to:** Trikatu just once a day, only before your biggest meal.

Too much Trikatu can:

*   Increase Vata
*   Burn fat (Meda)
*   Make it harder for your body to build tissue.

Targeted Ayurvedic Support for Breasts and Buttocks:

2. INTERNAL – Tissue Building (Safe for Hormones)

1.Shatavari churna – Keep Going (but adjust): You’re using it well. * Dose:1/2 teaspoon once a day. * With warm almondmmmilk + ghee (as you do). * Don’t increase the dose (very important with endometriosis). * Shatavari helps by: nourishing muscle and fat, hydrating tissues, and gently balancing estrogen without overstimulating it.

Add: Ashwagandha CHURNA This is vital for connective tissue and buttock fullness. * Dose: ½ yep once a day, in the morning. * With warm milk or almond milk. * Why: It builds muscle without adding fat, strengthens fascia (important for hEDS), and helps reduce tissue loss caused by stress. * Avoid high doses.

Add: Vidarikand churna: This is one of the best non-hormonal tissue builders. * Dose: 1/2 teaspoon once a day. * With warm milk, in the afternoon or evening. * Benefits: It subtly helps breast fullness, nourishes muscle and fat, and is safe for Vata-Pitta types when used gently.

EXTERNAL THERAPY – Essential for Local Volume:

Local Oil Massage (VERY IMPORTANT):

Do a separate, targeted massage for your breasts and buttocks:

Oil options (switch weekly):Ashwagandha bala oil, Ksheerabala oil. Method Breast massage: gentle, circular motions, from out to in. Buttocks:firm upward strokes. Time: 10–15 minutes daily. Follow with a warm shower or warm compress. 👉 This improves: local blood flow, tissue nourishment, and over time, tone and plumpness.

MOVEMENT – Build Without Bulking Up: Strengthening (You’re on the right track):

Focus on Slow resistance training, glute bridges, hip thrusts, chest opening exercises (not intense pushups), Pilates / controlled strength. Avoid: Too much cardio, overtraining (which can destroy fat in Vata types).

DIET – Small Adjustments:

You’re eating very well! Just add:

* Almond paste (soaked, peeled) * Small amount of white sesame seeds * Oats / rice flakes with ghee * Avoid long periods without eating

What to Avoid (VERY IMPORTANT):

❌ Fenugreek, fennel in large amounts ❌ Too many phytoestrogens ❌ Breast growth pills ❌ Herbs that overstimulate hormones ❌ Over-cleansing

These can make endometriosis or IC worse.

You’re already doing about 80% of things right. The key now is to: * Reduce anything that’s too drying. * Add the specific treatments for muscle and fat tissue. * Do the local oil therapy consistently. * Keep stress low (stress can shrink tissue faster than diet can build it).

With respect and care, Dr Snehal Vidhate

Thank you so much for your incredibly helpful and clear reply 🙏🏻

Would it be possible to add the ashwaganda to my post-dinner Shatavari milk?

Is it ok to incorporate the tissue building herbs such as the vidaeikand while I still have ama? My tongue is still showing signs of heat and my stools are still stabilising.

If so, is there any harm in taking the Shatavari, ashwaganda and vidarikand at the same time in warn milk with ghee? Or is it better to take them separately?
Thank you so much

1.Shatavari capsules 2 cap twice daily with warm milk after meals 2.Vidarikand churna 3/4 tsp twice daily with warm milk after meals 3.Ashwagandha capsules 1 cap twice daily with warm milk after meals

🧘 Lifestyle & Supportive Practices - Stress modulation: Since stress is very high, continue samavritti pranayama but add Yoga Nidra or guided relaxation once daily. - Strength building: Gentle resistance training (bands, bodyweight squats, glute bridges) to encourage muscle and fat redistribution to breasts and glutes. - Massage: Abhyanga with sesame oil is excellent; consider alternating with Shatavari taila for breast massage (gentle, circular, outward strokes).

Warm Regards Dr. Anjali Sehrawat

HELLO,

You have experienced significant weight and tissue loss after long standing illness. In Ayurveda, this is understood not just a weight loss, but as gradual weakening of the bod’s nourishing system

WHAT EXACTLY HAS HAPPENED IN YOUR BODY? According to Ayurveda, -food is converted step by step into body tissues -these dhatus are formed in this order Rasa-> rakta-> mamsa-> meda-> asthi-> majja->shukra

Because of -chronic illness -high stress -digestive weakness -vata dominance -Hormonal sensitivty (endometriosis, IC)

The nourishment is not reaching the later tissues properly , especially -Mamsa Dhatus (muscle and firm tissue) -Meda Dhatus (healthy fat and softness )

Breast tisue and buttocks fullness depend mainly on healthy mamsa + meda, not just body weight

So even if you eat, the body is unable to selectively rebuild these tissues

WHY BREASTS FEEL “EMPTY” NOW? In Ayurveda, breasts are considered -An updhatu (secondary tissue) of Mamsa and meda -Strogly influenced by Ojas, hormones, and nervous system balance

WHEN -Vata is high-> tissues dry and shrink -Stress is high-> regeneration shuts down -hormones fluctuate-> tissue becomes unstable

This causes -loss of volume -soft but empty feeling -reduced elasticity

WHY BUTTOCKS TISSUE ALSO REDUCED? Gluteal fullness depended son -Mamsa Dhatu strength -local circulation -proper muscle use Illness + inactivity + vata aggravation-> muscle and fat both reduces, especially in hips and pelvis

AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS PRAKRITI= vata predominantly with pitta tendency

VIKRITI -vata aggravation -dhatu Akshaya (rasa, mamsa, meda) -Ojas depletion -vishama agni (irregular digestion) -stress-induced hormonal sensitivty

ASSOCIATED CONDITION -hEDS-> weak connective tissue -Edometriosis -> pitta+rakta sesitivty -IC-> vata pitta disturbance in pelvic region

TREATMENT GOALS -stabilize digestion and absoprtion -calm aggravated vata -rebuild tissues slowly and safely -improve tissue quality an fullness -avoid hormonal overstimulation -restore nervous system safety -achieve selective nourishment without obesity

INTERNAL TREATMENT

A) DIGESTIVE AND DHATU SUPPORT

1) TRIKATU (already using)= small pinch in warm water before meals for 4 weeks only then reduce =improve digestion, reduce ama

2)TRIPHALA (modified use)= 1/2 tsp In warm water at bedtime long term low dose =gentle detox, maintain gut health without dryness

B) TISSUE REBUILDING HERBS

1) SHATAVARI= 1/2 tsp with warm alomond milk + 1/2 tsp ghee after dinner for 3 months (5 days on, 2 days off) = nourishes rasa, mamsa, meda, cooling and safe for pitta when used moderatly

2) VIDARIKANDA= 1/4 tsp warm milk + ghee for 3-4 times per week for 3 months =classicalherb for breast and hip tissue nourishment, promotes fullness without disturbing hormones, excellent for vata depletion

3) ASHWAGANDHA= 300mg cap with warm milk evening for 4 months =reduces stress hormones , supports muscle tone, stengthens connective tissue (important for hEDS), improves sleep and regeneration

GHEE (plain) dose=1-2 tsp daily purpose= nourishes Ojas, improves tissue softness, cams vata

BONE BROTH (already doing-continue) -Excellent for asthi, majja, connective tissue -supports pelvic and breast support structures

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

A) BREAST MASSAGE -OIL OPTIONS = Shatavari oil, Ashwagandha bala taila -warm oil -gentle circular strokes -10 min -4-5 times per week =improves local circulation, stimulates tissue uptake, reduces dryness and emptiness

GLUTEAL MASSAGE -Oil= Sesame oil + castor oil (3:1) -massage before bath -follow with mild strengthening exercises

DIET -warm, cooked meals -ghee -rice (basmati/red) -moong dal, lentils -almonds, dates -milk of tolerated (prefer goat milk) -soupss, stews, khitchdi

AVOID -fasting -cold/raw food -excess spices -coffee -artificial sweetners -very low fat diets

YOGA ASANAS -setu bandhasana -malasana -chair pose -gentle squats -pelvic tilts

Avoid overexertion

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana -Samavritti -Bhramari =calms nervous system, improves hormonal signalling, essential for tissue regenration

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -regular sleep timing -avoid late nights -warm oil massage weekly -reduce mental overwork -emotional safety and rest are medicine

HOME REMEDIES -warm milk + ghee at night -almond paste with dates -sesame laddoo(smallamount) -fennel tea for digestion

EXPECTED RESULTS AND DURATION -6-8 WEEKS= improved softness, warmth, comfort -3-4 MONTHS= visible fullness -6-9 MONTHS= stable tissue regenration Ayurveda works slowly but deeply and safely

Your body has not lost its ability to regenerate - it is simply in protective mode

By calming vata, nourishing tissues gently, reducing stress, and avoiding hormonal force, your body can rebuild naturally

Consistency, patience, and gentleness are the keys

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

Your current routine is good, but it is maintenance-focused, not anabolic (building). Here is the targeted advice to build volume in the breasts and buttocks safely without aggravating Endometriosis or IC.

Adjustments to Your Routine 1. Vidarikand (Pueraria tuberosa) Action: Add 1 tsp of Vidarikand powder to your night-time Almond Milk.

2. For Glutes & Stress: Ashwagandha Action: Add 1/2 tsp Ashwagandha to the night milk.

3. External Therapy (Crucial for Volume) Oil: Use Sri Gopal Taila or Ksheerabala 101. Technique: Perform a gentle circular massage on the breasts and vigorous upward strokes on the buttocks for 10 minutes daily.

4. Safety Check (IC Warning) Monitor Trikatu: Trikatu (Pepper/Ginger) is very hot. If you feel any burning in the bladder (IC flare), STOP Trikatu. Switch to Coriander water to digest Ama without burning the bladder.

Dietary Addition Soaked Dates & Figs: Eat 2 soaked dates and 1 fig daily. They provide the Sweet nourishment needed to build breast tissue.

Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

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

Dr. Batu
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

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.

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.

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.

I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

I am an Ayurvedic physcian with post-grad degree in Kayachikitsa (that’s internal medicine btw) and been working hands-on in clinical setups for over 5 yrs now—since finishing my BAMS. My work mostly revolve around managing internal disorders through classical Ayurvedic approach, especially chronic stuff... like digestion gone haywire, thyroid flares, migraine-types, joint probs or even weird skin things that just don’t go. I try to really *see* the patient before labeling the condition—because most times it’s not just a gut issue or just back pain, it’s a full picture out of balance. I use a mix of classical formulations, Panchakarma where needed (some people really benefit from it), daily routine tweaks, and sometimes even just diet correction can be way more powerful than we think. I also focus a lot on listening—like not rushing ppl into protocol mode unless we figure out what’s really going on. That part matters, at least to me. I mean what’s the point of a textbook-perfect plan if the patient can’t stick to it or feel worse halfway? Right? Metabolic disorders, fatigue, anxiety-patterns, IBS, migraines, skin-autoimmune crossover... those are kinda common cases I see often. And every plan is unique—nothing cookie-cutter, coz prakriti, age, agni, it all varies wildly. I try to keep things practical, science-backed, but still rooted in the Ayurvedic view of healing—not symptom chasing but fixing from the base. Doesn’t mean ignoring modern tools either... sometimes I’ll ask for labs, scans, referrals, whatever’s needed to support clean diagnosis. If you ask what drives me, it’s honestly that moment when a person says “I feel normal again.” That’s it. That’s the goal. Healing not just the disease but the human wrapped around it. Feels right, even on the off days.

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. 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.

I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

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.
