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,

1. What your reports suggest (important context) Good news first - Kidney function is normal (eGFR >90, normal creatinine) - Urine albumin/creatinine ratio is normal (A1) → no diabetic kidney damage - Blood counts and liver tests are normal

Contributing factors to night urination (nocturia) in your case - Diabetes-related bladder irritation (even if sugars are “okay” during the day) - Past urethral stricture → intermittent obstruction causes incomplete emptying - Stress/anxiety → increases bladder sensitivity (very common) - Possible bladder overactivity, not kidney failure - Borderline TSH (4.92) may also contribute to fatigue and sleep disruption This pattern is not kidney failure and not infection based on your labs.

2. Ayurvedic understanding of your condition From an Ayurvedic perspective, this fits mainly with: - Vata–Kapha imbalance in Mutravaha Srotas - Features of Prameha (diabetes-related urinary disturbance) - Basti dushti (bladder dysfunction) - Aggravated Vata at night, worsened by stress and poor sleep

3. Ayurvedic treatment plan

A. Core medicines for night urination & bladder control

1️⃣ Chandraprabha Vati Dose: 👉 2 tablets twice daily 👉 After meals with lukewarm water Benefits: Improves bladder tone Reduces frequent urination Helpful in diabetes-related urinary symptoms Useful in post-urethral issues ✅ This is the most important medicine for you.

2️⃣ Gokshuradi Guggulu Dose: 👉 2 tablets twice daily 👉 After meals Benefits: Strengthens urinary tract Reduces residual urine Supports normal urine flow B. Medicines specifically for nocturia & sleep disruption

3️⃣ Varunadi Kashayam (or Varunadi Kwath) Dose: 👉 15 ml + 15 ml warm water 👉 Once daily in the evening (around 6–7 pm) Benefits: Reduces nighttime urinary frequency Improves bladder emptying

4️⃣ Ashwagandha churna (for stress-related nocturia) Dose: 👉 3 grams (½ teaspoon) 👉 At bedtime with warm milk or water Benefits: Calms nervous system Reduces stress-induced bladder urgency Improves sleep quality C. If urine flow becomes weak or interrupted again

5️⃣ Trikantakadi Churna Dose: 👉 3 grams once daily after dinner Benefits: Helpful in urethral narrowing tendencies Improves urinary stream 4. Diet & lifestyle changes (CRITICAL for results)

Evening rules (very important)

🚫 No fluids 2.5–3 hours before bedtime 🚫 Avoid tea, coffee, alcohol after 4 pm 🚫 Avoid spicy, sour, and salty dinner Recommended at night Light dinner before 7:30 pm Warm, cooked food only Avoid curd at night

Simple Ayurvedic practice Warm oil massage (sesame oil) on: Lower abdomen Lower back 👉 5 minutes before bath or sleep (3–4 times/week)

5. How long before you see improvement? 7–10 days: reduced urgency 3–4 weeks: fewer night awakenings 6–8 weeks: stable improvement if followed strictly

6. When NOT to rely only on Ayurveda (very important) Please consult a urologist urgently if: Urine stream becomes very weak or stops Burning, fever, or blood in urine appears Night urination suddenly worsens You feel bladder never empties fully

Thank you for your prompt response . I has a few more queries :

1) Is Trikantakadi Churna the same as Trikatu Churna . Also can I take Trikatu tablets rather than churna .

2) I forgot to mention I am also taking the following supplements : B12 , Berberine , Vitamin D3+K2, Omega 3 and Magnesium.

3) The Shilajit capsule is available in 500mg and wanted to check if that is ok . I am currently in UK and trying to get these here for now

1️⃣ Trikantakadi Churna and Trikatu Churna are NOT the same 🔴 Trikatu Churna Ingredients: Dry ginger (Shunthi), Black pepper (Maricha), Long pepper (Pippali) Action: Increases heat (Ushna) Stimulates digestion and metabolism ❌ NOT recommended for you - Can irritate the bladder - Can worsen nocturia - May aggravate urinary urgency and burning 👉 Please do NOT use Trikatu (tablet or churna) for your condition. 🟢 Trikantakadi Churna (correct one) Key herb: Gokshura and urinary-supporting herbs Action: - Supports urine flow - Helps post-urethral stricture symptoms - Calms bladder irritation ✅ Appropriate for your case If churna is NOT available in the UK: You can safely skip this medicine for now 👉 Chandraprabha Vati + Gokshuradi Guggulu are sufficient initially.

2️⃣ Your current supplements — are safe together You mentioned: Vitamin B12 Berberine Vitamin D3 + K2 Omega-3 Magnesium ✅ Overall: SAFE to continue No dangerous interactions with the Ayurvedic medicines suggested.

A few important notes:

🔹 Berberine Helps blood sugar and lipids Can lower glucose along with metformin 👉 Monitor fasting sugars to avoid low readings 🔹 Magnesium Can slightly relax bladder muscles Take it after dinner, not late night 🔹 B12 Very important with long-term metformin Your holotranscobalamin is adequate, so continue maintenance dose

👉 Spacing (important): Take supplements at least 1 hour apart from Ayurvedic tablets for best absorption

3️⃣ About Shilajit 500 mg capsules ⚠️ I did NOT prescribe Shilajit for you And I do NOT recommend adding it right now Why? Shilajit can: - Increase urine output in some people - Increase heat (Ushna) - Aggravate bladder irritation - In diabetics with nocturia, it can worsen night urination - If you still consider it later: - Only purified, lab-tested Shilajit - Dose would be 250 mg once daily in the morning ❌ Never at night But again — not needed for your current problem 👉 Please do NOT start Shilajit now

✅ Revised plan (UK-friendly) Core medicines (priority) - Chandraprabha Vati 2 tablets twice daily after meals - Gokshuradi Guggulu 2 tablets twice daily after meals - Ashwagandha (capsule or powder) 300–500 mg capsule OR 3 g powder - At bedtime

🔔 One very important non-medicine point Because of your past urethral stricture, if nocturia does not improve by 4–6 weeks, please get:

- Ultrasound bladder with post-void residual Or uroflowmetry

Ayurveda helps bladder function, but mechanical narrowing must be ruled out.

Thanks for your prompt response and I want to add a few points that you must know :

1) My urithral stricture symptoms have recurred now which I realize in my urine flow however this is not as severe as before which needed to be dilated under anesthesia .

2) I am also struggling with some digestive/gut issues during daytime . I need to go to the toilet to open my bowels at least twice in the morning .once when I get up and once around 11am only then I feel my bowels have cleared. Also after I have lunch I feel the urge to go to toilet and open my bowels and also after I have tea ( within 30 minutes ) . So going to the toilet frequently is very frustrating and I have recently stopped tea. Also due to urithral narrowing I refer to sit in the toilet rather than stand to pee and end up opening my bowels as its natural tendency . Should I add Probiotic supplement or would you recommend any additional medication.

3)I am overweight ( 120 kgs) and currently working hard on my diet and exercise and stress management as I really want to achieve my optimal weight .

4) I have generally struggled with erectile dysfunction issues however never taken help and not sure if my symptoms are causing this .

5) Anything you recommend to improve my Thyroid and Cholesterol parameters

👉 No oral Ayurvedic or allopathic medicine can reverse a true urethral stricture Medicines can: - Reduce inflammation - Improve bladder function - Reduce urgency and nocturia But they cannot remove scar tissue if it is progressing.

What Ayurveda can help with right now - Reduce bladder irritation - Improve flow as much as anatomy allows - Delay worsening while you work on weight, sugar, and stress

What you should still plan (non-urgent but important) - Uroflowmetry - Ultrasound bladder with post-void residual This does not mean immediate surgery — it’s to avoid silent worsening.

2️⃣ Frequent bowel movements / gut urgency (very important insight) What you describe fits functional gut hyper-reactivity, not infection: - Morning bowel twice - Urge after lunch - Urge within 30 minutes of tea (now stopped) - Worse when sitting to urinate (gastro-colic reflex) - Frustrating but not painful This is NOT IBS-D, and NOT infection.

Ayurvedic explanation - Vata–Pitta imbalance - Hyperactive Apana Vata - Weak digestive regulation (Samana Vata dysregulation) This same imbalance is also affecting: - Bladder urgency - Erectile function - Sleep So this is one root problem, not separate diseases.

🔵 Should you take a probiotic? Yes — but choose carefully Best option for you (UK-available): - Multi-strain probiotic At least 10–20 billion CFU Contains Lactobacillus + Bifidobacterium Take once daily after breakfast 👉 Avoid very high-dose (>50 billion) probiotics initially — they can worsen urgency.

🟢 Ayurvedic medicine to ADD for gut + bladder coordination - Bilva Churna Dose: 2–3 g (½ tsp) Timing: After breakfast with warm water Benefits: Reduces bowel urgency Improves stool formation Calms Apana Vata Indirectly helps bladder control This is very suitable for you.

3️⃣ Overweight (120 kg) — this is a MAJOR root cause Excess weight worsens: Nocturia Bladder pressure Erectile dysfunction Insulin resistance Cholesterol Sleep quality You’re absolutely right to work on this — and even 8–10% weight loss can dramatically improve symptoms.

Ayurvedic support (SAFE with diabetes) - Triphala Churna Dose: 3 g at bedtime with warm water Benefits: Improves bowel regulation (not laxative at this dose) Helps metabolism Supports weight loss gently ⚠️ If stools become loose → reduce to 2 g.

4️⃣ Erectile dysfunction (very important, and very common) This is multifactorial, not “psychological only”: Contributing factors in your case: Diabetes Overweight Chronic stress Poor sleep from nocturia Pelvic floor dysfunction from stricture Reduced confidence due to symptoms 👉 This is reversible to a good extent, but it requires addressing the system, not just one pill.

Ayurvedic approach

- Ashwagandha (continue) 300–500 mg at night - Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens) Dose: 250 mg once daily in the morning Benefits: Improves libido Supports erectile quality Helps dopamine balance Safe with diabetes at this dose ⚠️ Do NOT take at night.

5️⃣ Thyroid (borderline high TSH) & Cholesterol Thyroid Your TSH is borderline, not overt hypothyroidism Weight loss and stress reduction can normalize it

Ayurvedic support: - Kanchanar Guggulu 2 tablets twice daily After meals Helps thyroid metabolism and lipid profile Cholesterol (this is important) You have: High total cholesterol High LDL High triglycerides Low HDL This needs attention, especially with diabetes.

Ayurvedic support

- Arjuna Churna 3 g once daily after dinner With warm water Continue: Omega-3 Berberine (monitor sugars)

✨✨✨✨ 🔵 REFINED DAILY PLAN Morning - Probiotic (after breakfast) - Bilva churna 2–3 g - Kapikacchu 250 mg After meals (lunch & dinner) - Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tabs - Gokshuradi Guggulu – 2 tabs - Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tabs Evening - Varunadi Kashayam (if available) Bedtime - Ashwagandha - Triphala 2–3 g

For proper treatment plan tell the complete symptoms to assess one plan for your condition bcz doses differ according to condition

That’s perfectly fine — and thank you for checking before starting anything. Yes, Gokshura tablets are absolutely appropriate, and you do NOT need Trikantakadi churna if it isn’t available.

I really appreciate all your recommendations and do apologise for not mentioning all my symptoms in one go as I was fed up with my night urination and sleep disruption issues . Also my bladder getting emptied when I urinate and I do understand the sensation if it does not fully empty from the days of the urithrical stricture . Due to this I prefer to sit in the toilet rather than stand for urinating .I wanted to finally also mention that due to the weather in UK, I dont drink as much water as compared to India and trying to improve on this . Drinking too much water makes me urinate multiple times and gets painful and I am now only sipping water slowly however not able to drink what is recommended to support my weight loss plans. Thanks again for your valuable recommendations

Please don’t apologise at all — what you’ve shared now actually completes the picture, and it’s very clear you’ve been listening carefully to your body. That awareness is a strength, not a problem. I’ll address your points calmly and practically, because right now the goal is relief + confidence, not overload.

1️⃣ Sitting to urinate & bladder emptying — you are doing the RIGHT thing This is important to say clearly: 👉 Sitting to urinate is absolutely appropriate in your situation Given: - Past urethral stricture - Mild recurrence - Better awareness of bladder emptying - No current feeling of residual urine Sitting: - Allows pelvic floor relaxation - Reduces straining - Improves flow consistency - Reduces post-void urgency Many urologists actively recommend this for men with flow issues. So please do not feel this is “wrong” or worsening things — it is a protective habit.

2️⃣ Your hydration dilemma — this is VERY common You’ve described it perfectly: - Cold UK weather → less thirst - Drinking more → frequent & sometimes painful urination - Drinking less → worry about weight loss, kidneys, health - So you’re sipping slowly → which is actually a good instinct

Key truth (very important): 👉 Hydration for YOU should be bladder-friendly, not textbook litres Those “2.5–3 litres” rules do not apply to people with: Nocturia Bladder sensitivity Urethral narrowing history

3️⃣ The RIGHT way for you to hydrate (this is crucial) ✅ Target (realistic & safe) 1.8 – 2.2 litres total per day Not more, not less Quality & timing matter more than volume 🕒 Timing rules (more important than amount) 70% of fluids before 4 pm Minimal fluids after 7 pm Small sips, not large glasses (you’re already doing this well)

🌡️ Temperature Warm or room-temperature water only Cold water increases bladder urgency (especially in UK climate)

4️⃣ “But won’t less water affect weight loss?” This is an excellent question — and the answer will reassure you. 👉 Weight loss is NOT limited by moderate fluid restriction in your case Your weight loss will come mainly from: - Insulin sensitivity (berberine, metformin) - Reduced late-night cortisol (better sleep) - Gut regulation (Bilva, Triphala) - Reduced inflammation - Consistency In fact: - Overhydration → poor sleep → higher cortisol → slower weight loss - Better sleep → improved hormones → better fat loss So protecting sleep comes first.

5️⃣ A bladder-friendly hydration strategy (Ayurvedic + practical) - Morning (best time to hydrate) 1 glass warm water on waking 1–2 cups spread over morning

Afternoon - Sip every 30–40 minutes Add a pinch of rock salt once daily if feeling dehydrated

Evening - Only sips if mouth is dry - Avoid “catching up” fluids

Optional (very helpful) - Coriander seed water (light, cooling, bladder-friendly) - ½ tsp crushed seeds soaked overnight - Sip during morning

6️⃣ Why drinking “too much” makes urination painful for you This is NOT imagination. With: - Mild urethral narrowing - Sensitive bladder wall - Repeated stretching - Excess urine volume can cause: Detrusor muscle spasm Increased urgency Post-void discomfort So your body is correctly telling you: “Slow down” Listening to that is wise.

7️⃣ One very reassuring point (important for peace of mind) You said: - “My bladder gets emptied when I urinate and I understand the sensation if it does not fully empty” This tells me: Your bladder sensation is intact You are NOT in silent retention Your nocturia is functional, not dangerous That’s a good prognostic sign.

8️⃣ Putting it all together — what matters most now Priorities for you (in order): - Protect sleep - Reduce night urination - Maintain gentle hydration - Gradual weight loss - Monitor (not panic about) urine flow You are already doing many things right: - Stopped tea - Managing stress - Adjusting posture - Being cautious with fluids - Seeking guidance early

Feel free to talk for any doubt

YOUR BLOOD AND URINE INVESTIGATIONS SHOW A VERY IMPORTANT AND POSITIVE POINT THAT YOUR KIDNEY FUNCTION IS PRESERVED AND SAFE YOUR EGFR IS ABOVE 90 SERUM CREATININE AND UREA ARE WELL WITHIN NORMAL RANGE ELECTROLYTES ARE STABLE AND URINE ALBUMIN CREATININE RATIO IS IN A1 CATEGORY WHICH CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THERE IS NO DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY OR STRUCTURAL KIDNEY DAMAGE AT PRESENT THIS MEANS THE FREQUENT NIGHT URINATION YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM IS NOT DUE TO KIDNEY FAILURE OR LOSS OF FILTRATION BUT DUE TO FUNCTIONAL DISTURBANCE OF THE URINARY SYSTEM AND NERVOUS REGULATION

FROM AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE THIS CONDITION IS MAINLY RELATED TO MUTRAVAHA SROTAS DUSHTI APANA VATA PRAKOPA AND EARLY MADHUMEHA EFFECT ON THE BLADDER EVEN WHEN BLOOD SUGAR IS CONTROLLED DIABETES WEAKENS THE NERVE CONTROL OF THE BLADDER LEADING TO POOR SENSATION OF COMPLETE EMPTYING AND INCREASED NIGHT TIME URGE ESPECIALLY DURING VATA KALA WHICH IS NIGHT TIME THIS IS WHY YOU ARE WAKING UP EVERY TWO HOURS

YOUR PAST HISTORY OF URETHRAL STRICTURE AND DILATATION IS A VERY IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTING FACTOR BECAUSE ANY OLD OBSTRUCTION OR PROCEDURE MAKES THE BLADDER AND URETHRA HYPERSENSITIVE AND FUNCTIONALLY WEAK WHICH CAUSES RESIDUAL URINE AND FREQUENT SIGNALS TO PASS URINE EVEN WHEN THE QUANTITY IS LESS THIS IS A COMMON LONG TERM EFFECT SEEN YEARS AFTER STRICTURE DILATATION

STRESS AND ANXIETY FURTHER AGGRAVATE THIS CONDITION BECAUSE THEY DIRECTLY DISTURB PRANA VATA AND APANA VATA LEADING TO OVERACTIVITY OF BLADDER NERVES WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVE CLEARLY NOTICED THAT STRESS WORSENS YOUR NIGHT URINATION AND SLEEP DISTURBANCE

Frequent night urination in your condition is happening due to chronic vata imbalance affecting the bladder nerves and sphincter control along with prameha tendency caused by diabetes and old injury weakness of the urinary passage from past stricture dilation this makes the bladder overly sensitive during night hours when vata naturally increases stress anxiety and disturbed sleep further aggravate vata causing repeated urge even when urine quantity is less your reports clearly show kidney function is stable and urine albumin is within safe limits so this problem is not kidney damage but functional weakness of mutravaha srotas and bladder control mechanism

The treatment focus should be on calming vata strengthening bladder muscles improving nerve control and supporting prameha without disturbing allopathic medicines you can start chandraprabha vati 2 tablets twice daily after food with lukewarm water as it is the best formulation for bladder tone urgency frequency and nocturia take gokshuradi guggulu 2 tablets twice daily after meals to support urinary tract strength reduce irritation and improve flow add varunadi kwath 15 ml mixed with equal warm water once in the evening before dinner to reduce bladder irritation and support urinary passage health

For diabetes related bladder sensitivity and nerve weakness take shilajit capsule 250 mg once daily in the morning after breakfast this helps prameha fatigue nerve stability and bladder control without interfering with metformin at night to calm anxiety and improve sleep take brahmi vati 1 tablet or saraswatarishta 15 ml with equal water after dinner this will reduce stress induced vata spikes that worsen night urination

Daily routine is equally important stop fluid intake after 7 pm avoid tea coffee alcohol and cold drinks in the evening avoid spicy salty and dry foods at night gently massage lower abdomen pelvic area and soles of feet with warm sesame oil before sleep and keep the body warm during night practice slow deep breathing or anulom vilom for 5 minutes before bed to relax bladder nerves empty bladder fully before sleeping and again just before lying down

With regular use of these medicines and lifestyle correction improvement usually starts within 2 to 3 weeks with reduced night frequency deeper sleep and better bladder control but consistency is essential and medicines should be continued for at least 6 to 8 weeks for stable results

HELLO,

WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING -passing urine every 1-2 hours at night -disturbed sleep for more than 6 months -history of type 2 diabetes -past urethral stricture and dilation -symptoms worse with stress/anxeity

Your reports suggest This is NOT kidney failure or kidney damage

WHY THIS IS HAPPENING

IN MODERM TERMS Your night urination is due to three combined factors

1) Diabetes effect on bladder nerves -diabetes irritates bladder nerves -bladder sends “false signals” that is full -leads to frequent night urination

2) OIL URTETHRAL STRICTURE -Even after dilation, bladder may not empty fully -small amount of urine remains -> frequent urge

3) STRESS AND POOR SLEEP -Stress increases sympathetic nervous system activt -nightime bladder control becomes weak

In Ayurvedic This condition is called a combination of -prameha (diabetes- related urinary disorder) -Mutrakrichra(difficulty/frequent urinartion) -basti daurbalya (weak bladder control

WHICH DOSHA ARE DISTURBED? Apana vata (main culprit) -> controls uriine, stool ,pelvic organs -> when disturbed->frequent urge, incomplete emptying

KAPHA -> causes heaviness, obstruction, sluggishbladdr

MILD PITTA -> causes irritation and urgency

At night, vata naturally increases, so symptoms worsen at night

TREATMENT GOALS -strengthen the bladder -calm irritated bladder nerves -improve complete emptying -balance apana vata -support diabetes control -improve sleep quality

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI = 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water for 12 weeks =strengthen bladder muscles, improves urinary controls, useful in diabetes- related urinary issues , helps urethral narrowing symptoms ,Reduced night urination, better urine holding capacity

2) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 10 weeks =improves urine flow, reduces bladder irritation, supports urinary tract tone, prevents residual urine

3) VARUNADI KASHAYA = 15ml + equal warm water twice daily before meals for 8 weeks =clears obstruction, improves bladder emptying, strengthens urinary channels

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for 3 months =calms nervous system, controls stressrelated urinatio, improves sleep, balances vata

5) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 8 weeks -improves bladder efficiency, reduces urinary stagnation, supports metabolism

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= WARM SESAME OIL -Massage= lower abdomen, lower back, soles of feet -daily or at least 5 times/week =calms apana vata, strengthens bladder nerves, improve sleep

2) WARM SITZ BATH -sit in warm water no salt -10 min in evenig -3-4 times/week =relaxes bladder muscles, reduce urgency

DIET -bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin -cooked vegetables -moong dal -barley, oats daytime -warm, freshly cooked meals

AVOID -curd at night -excess salt -spicy fried foods -alcohol -artificial sweeteners

LIQUIDS -sip warm water during day -avoid excessive fluids in evening

YOGA ASANAS -Malasana= improves bladder emptying -pawanmuktasana -supta baddha konasana 5-10 min daily is sufficient

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana -Slow deep breathing= inhale 4 sec, exhale 6 sec -10 min before sleep

HOME REMEDIES 1) soaked coriander seeds -1 tsp soaked overnight -drink water in morning -3-4 times/week

2) Pumpkin seeds -small handful daily -strengthns bladder

You are not suffering from kidney failure. This is a functional bladder-nerve imbalance caused by diabetes, old stricture, and stress

Ayurveda works very well for this condition of followed consistently . Most patients improve significantly within 6-8 weeks, and night urination reduces to 1-2 times or less

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Hello Thanks for sharing your reports. I can see how tough this has been for you. Going to the bathroom every couple of hours really mess with your sleep and daily life. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

YOUR CONCERN

Your main issue: You’re getting up to pee every two hours at night, and it’s been going on for more than six months.

Other problems: - Type 2 Diabetes (you’re taking Metformin) - Past urethral stricture, so sometimes your urine flow isn’t great - Stress and anxiety - Severe sleep disruption (7–9 out of 10)

YOUR REPORTS

The good news: - Your kidneys are working fine: Creatinine is 80, eGFR is over 90 - Urine ACR is 1.5 (that’s normal) - No signs of anemia or infection - B12, thyroid, and liver tests all look good

WHAT MAKING THINGS WORSE - Diabetes is making you pee more - High LDL and triglycerides point to a metabolic imbalance - The past stricture still irritates your bladder and keeps it from emptying fully - Your TSH is borderline high, so your metabolism’s a bit slow - Stress makes your bladder nerves extra sensitive

So, bottom line: this isn’t kidney failure. Your main issues are diabetic bladder problems, Apana Vata imbalance, and a sensitive bladder.

AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE

In Ayurveda, this falls under: - Prameha janya Mutra Atipravritti - Apana Vata vikriti - Basti dhatu kshaya

What does that mean?

Diabetes dries out your tissues, so your bladder can’t “hold” urine like it should. The bladder nerves get jumpy. Old damage to the urinary channel weakens things further. End result: you feel the urge a lot, and your sleep suffers.

What We Want to Achieve

- Cut down how often you pee at night - Strengthen your bladder nerves - Help your bladder hold more urine - Control how diabetes affects your bladder - Ease the stress and anxiety that make this worse

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN

INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Chandraprabha Vati
Take 2 tablets twice a day after food.
This is a classic for bladder issues. It tightens up the urinary sphincter, helps heal old damage, and calms jittery nerves in the bladder.
What you will notice: decreased urine frequency better flow, less urgency

2. Gokshuradi Guggulu
Take 2 tablets twice a day.
It tones the bladder muscles, helps you empty the bladder more fully, and soothes the urinary tract.
What you will notice- Less sudden urge, stronger stream, fewer nighttime frequency

3. Varunadi Kashayam Take 15 ml (mixed with the same amount of warm water) twice a day before meals.
It clears the urinary channels and reduces leftover urine. Especially good after stricture issues.
What you will notice: Fewer night urine, better bladder capacity.

4. Ashwagandha Capsule
Take 1 capsule at night after food.
It calms your nerves, helps you sleep deeper, and dials down anxiety-driven urgency.
What you will notice: Better sleep, less stress, fewer urgent bathroom visits.

5. Shilajit Capsule (pure)
Take 1 capsule in the morning.
It strengthens Apana Vata and the bladder tissues. Helps with diabetic bladder weakness.
What you will notice: You’ll be able to hold urine longer, nerves in the pelvis get stronger.

DIET TIPS

Skip these after 6 PM: - Tea or coffee - Fruits - Cold drinks - Soup or lots of water

Try this instead: - Eat dinner before 7 PM - Stick to light, dry foods (like roti, sabzi, and dal) - Drink only warm water

LIFESTYLE ADVICE - Always empty your bladder fully before bed - Put away your phone or screen after 9 PM - Practice: Moola Bandha, Anulom Vilom, and Bhramari Pranayama (these help strengthen bladder nerves directly)

Important Note
All these medicines work fine with Metformin, are safe for your kidneys, and won’t mess with your other treatments.

Your problem is functional, not structural. This is a reversible bladder issue from diabetes—not kidney disease. With the right medicines and diet, most people get back to normal sleep without needing long-term treatment.

Wishing you deep, peaceful sleep again

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

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

1.Bahumutrantaka ras 1 tab twice daily with warm water or honey after meals 2.Chandraprabha vati 2 tab twice daily with water after meals

Ahara (Diet): - Reduce evening fluid intake, especially caffeine and alcohol. - Favor warm, light meals at night. - Include Bilva fruit, Amla, and barley water for urinary health.

Vihara (Lifestyle): - Stress management (since anxiety worsens nocturia). - Gentle yoga: Bhujangasana, Matsyasana for urinary tract support.

Shodhana (Detox/Panchakarma): - Basti therapy (medicated enema) is sometimes recommended for chronic urinary issues.

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

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

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

Dr. 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. Shalini Sreedharan
I am an Ayurvedic physician graduated from Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda College, Kerala, and sometimes I still feel that the years I spent learning there left a kind of rhythm in my mind—the way Kerala clinical traditions flow into every thought I have during a consult. I carry that depth of ayurvedic medicine into my practice, mixing it with a slightly modern lens whenever needed, though I admit my thoughts jump around a bit and I end up rewriting a sentence or two while explaining something. My main work sits at the intersection of musculoskeletal health and cosmetic aspects in Ayurveda. It sounds like two different worlds, but clinically they overlap a lot. A joint imbalance shows on the posture, a skin dullness links back to agni, and sometimes a patient tells me one tiny complaint that makes me rethink the whole plan. I pay attention to those small clues even when my notes look a bit scrambled or a comma goes missng somewhere. Panchakarma plays a big role in my approach—deep-acting therapies that work slowly but shift things from the inside. I like understanding why a particular procedure suits one person and not the next, and I sometimes pause midway through planning thinking *wait, that detail matters more than I thought*, then adjust the regimen with more care. Personalized wellness routines also matter a lot to me… diet tweaks, daily habits, simple corrections that people often underestimate. When it comes to cosmetic wellness—radiance, glow, natural rejuvenation—I focus on restoring balance rather than masking the issue. Ayurveda treats beauty as an outcome of internal harmony, and that idea guides most of my choices, even if my words come out a little tangled when trying to explain it fast. My intention is always to help you reach a place where your body feels stronger, lighter, more aligned, and yes, where your natural beauty shows without forcing it. I know healing takes patience, sometimes more than we expect, but I walk through it with you… step by step, with clarity, honesty, and a few typos here and there that sneak in when I’m typing too quick.

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

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. 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. Ankit Rathore
I am someone who really got to feel the weight of actual practice during my one year internship at the civil hospital. It wasn’t just routine—it was a daily crash course in reality, where textbook cases didn’t always match what walked through the door. I spent long hours rotating through departments—OPD, emergency, minor OT, even labor rooms—and yeah, each one taught me something I couldn’t’ve learned sitting in lectures. There were days I saw over 40–50 patients in OPD, most with multilayered complaints—gastritis mixed with anxiety, or skin rashes that flared worse in stressy situations. I had to listen sharp, note quick, and still not miss anything. Like, once I forgot to double-check a sugar reading and the case shifted entirely, and that messed with me a bit. You learn from these things tho. I did. Civil hospital life means working with all types of ppl—those with chronic issues like joint pain, those rushing in with acute fevers, and sometimes those who just need someone to explain their condition calmly. I handled case sheets, helped in rounds, observed surgeries (some minor, some I couldn’t stop thinking about later tbh), managed herbal prescriptions under supervision, and did a lotta counseling, which is underrated honestly. One thing that stood out to me was how often symptoms were being treated but not the pattern behind them. Like repeat migraines? Usually it was more about sleep or stress than just pain. That shifted how I approached things. Made me dig deeper, not just ask "what hurts" but also "since when and what else changed?" The internship taught me to act quick but also pause when needed, speak confidently but also shut up and learn when I didn’t know something—trust me, those moments happened too. It gave me the ground reality of how Ayurvedic support can sit side-by-side with hospital protocols. Not everything went smooth—forgot a file once, mixed two doses (minor issue but still), and yeah, sometimes I was too cautious when I shoud've acted faster. But that year shaped me... more than anything else. And I carry all that messiness and learning into my practice now, everyday.

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