Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

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.

Hlo,

Based on your description Chronic severe headache + eye irritation (>6 months) - Stress-triggered - Thyroid imbalance - Back pain radiating to left leg (likely Vata involvement / nerve irritation) This picture fits Vata–Pitta aggravation with Manovaha srotas + Majja dhatu involvement in Ayurveda.

Ayurvedic Prescription 1. Shirah (Head & Eyes)

Brahmi Vati Dose: 1 tablet twice daily after food With: lukewarm water Benefit: Reduces headache, stress, eye strain, improves nervous balance

Saptamrita Lauha Dose: 1 tablet twice daily after food With: honey or ghee Benefit: Eye irritation, burning, headache linked with Pitta

2. Stress & Nervous System 3. Ashwagandha Churna Dose: ½ teaspoon at night With: warm milk Benefit: Stress control, thyroid support, nerve strengthening

3. Back pain with left leg radiation

Yograj Guggulu Dose: 1 tablet twice daily after food With: warm water Benefit: Vata balance, back pain, sciatica-type symptoms

4. External Therapy (Very Important) Brahmi Taila or Ksheerabala Taila Apply 2–3 drops in each nostril (Nasya) Time: Morning on empty stomach, lie down 2–3 minutes Duration: 7–14 days Benefit: Chronic headache, eye irritation, nervous calm

Diet & Lifestyle (Brief) ✔ Avoid: coffee, excess tea, spicy food, late nights ✔ Increase: warm food, ghee, soaked almonds (2–3/day) ✔ Daily: 10 minutes Anulom–Vilom + Bhramari pranayama ✔ Sleep before 10:30 pm

⚠️ Important Safety Notes Continue thyroid medication if already prescribed (do not stop) If headache worsens, vision blurs, vomiting occurs → neurologist evaluation needed Avoid self-medication

Your symptoms indicate a long standing imbalance of vata and pitta caused mainly by continuous stress thyroid dysfunction and nervous system overload This is why you are experiencing severe headache eye irritation and a constant sense of pressure in the head along with back pain radiating to the left leg These are not separate problems but part of one internal imbalance affecting nerves hormones muscles and circulation

Stress dries and aggravates vata leading to nerve pain headache stiffness and radiating back pain Thyroid imbalance disturbs metabolic fire and increases pitta which causes burning irritation in eyes heaviness in head and mental fatigue Over months this combination settles deeply into the system and produces chronic discomfort

For this condition ayurvedic treatment must calm vata nourish nerves balance pitta and support the thyroid

Brahmi vati one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Sutashekhara rasa one tablet twice daily after food Saraswatarishta fifteen ml with equal warm water twice daily after meals Ashwagandha churna half teaspoon at night with warm milk Yogaraja guggulu one tablet twice daily after meals for back and leg pain Dashamoola kashaya fifteen ml with equal warm water morning and evening

If possible apply mahanarayana taila gently over head neck lower back and legs daily followed by warm bath This helps calm nerve irritation and muscle tightness

Diet and routine are very important Avoid tea coffee spicy sour fried food cold food and late night eating Eat warm freshly cooked meals include small amount of ghee daily Sleep before eleven at night Reduce mobile and screen use especially at night Practice gentle breathing like anulom vilom and bhramari daily

Relief will come gradually over six to eight weeks because this is a chronic condition With regular treatment disciplined routine and stress control the headache eye irritation and back pain can be reduced significantly and stability can be achieved

Hello Thanks for reaching out. I can see you’re dealing with a lot—severe headaches, burning eyes, thyroid issues, back pain shooting down your leg. It feels like everything’s coming at you at once, right? In Ayurveda, all these symptoms actually tie back to the same root: an imbalance of Vata and Pitta, with your nervous system getting caught in the crossfire.

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

You’ve got: - Shirah Shoola/Shiroroga – that’s your stubborn, chronic headache - Netra Daha/Netra Shosha – burning and irritated eyes - Vata Vyadhi – back pain radiating into your leg (think sciatica) - Plus, some digestive slowdown and stress stirring the pot

Here’s which doshas are running the show: - Vata drives nerve pain, radiating discomfort, and why this all drags on - Pitta fuels the burning eyes, head pain, and irritation - Kapha comes into play with the thyroid—think hormones and sluggishness

If we put this in modern terms, you’re looking at chronic tension headaches or maybe a migraine variant, some nerve compression in your neck or lower back, dry eyes, and hypothyroidism making everything feel worse.

So, what’s the plan? Ayurveda goes at this from three angles: 1. Internal medicines (Shamana) 2. External therapies (super important) 3. Diet and lifestyle tweaks

INTERNAL MEDICATION

- Pathyadi Kwath: 20 ml with equal warm water, twice daily before meals (works wonders for headaches and eye issues)

- Shirashooladi Vajra Ras: 1 tab twice daily after food (hits hard on severe headaches and nerve pain)

- Yogaraj Guggulu: 2 tabs twice daily after food (for your back and leg pain, classic Vata stuff)

- Kanchanar Guggulu: 2 tabs twice daily after food (helps the thyroid get back in line)

- Saptamrit Lauh: 1 tab twice daily after food (top choice for irritated, burning eyes)

EXTERNAL CARE

- Head & Neck: Massage daily with Brahmi Taila or Ksheerabala Taila—work it into your scalp, neck, and shoulders before your bath.

- Eyes: Rinse your eyes with Triphala water every day. Seriously, cut down on screen time.

- Back & Leg: Massage your lower back and leg with Mahanarayan Taila or Sahacharadi Taila.

DIET PLAN

AVOID

- Tea and coffee - Spicy and fried foods - Late nights - Too much screen time - Cold drinks

These all fire up Pitta and throw Vata off balance.

INCLUDE

- Ghee and warm milk - Rice, wheat - Cooked veggies - Dates, almonds - Plenty of water

Lifestyle Tips - Get to bed before 11 pm - Don’t overwork your mind - Gentle yoga and pranayama help - Don’t skip meals - Daily oil massage (Abhyanga) is a game-changer

Why does stress light up all these problems? Ayurveda says stress throws Vata out of whack—and Vata goes straight for your weak spots: head, eyes, spine. If you don’t tackle stress, even the best medicines won’t do enough.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

🧘 Supportive Measures

Lifestyle (Vihara): - Daily Anulom Vilom and Bhramari Pranayama for stress and headache. - Gentle yoga: Bhujangasana, Shavasana for back pain. - Regular sleep routine, avoid late nights.

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

HELLO,

Your body works on balance According to Ayurveda this balance is maintained by three energies (Doshas) -Vata – controls nerves, movement, pain -Pitta – controls heat, hormones, digestion, eyes -Kapha – controls structure, stability, glands

In your case, Vata and Pitta are disturbed together

How This Disturbance Is Affecting You -Severe Headache
→ Due to aggravated Vata, nerves become sensitive and over-reactive
→ Due to aggravated Pitta, heat builds up in the head

-Eye Irritation & Burning
→ Eyes are a Pitta-dominant organ
→ Excess heat + stress leads to dryness, irritation, strain

-Thyroid Disorder
→ Thyroid is linked to metabolism (Agni) and glandular tissue
→ Stress disturbs hormonal rhythm → leads to imbalance

-Back Pain with Left Leg Pain
→ This is a classic sign of Vata disorder in the spine
→ Nerves are irritated → pain travels down the leg (similar to sciatica)

-Stress as a Trigger
→ Stress dries the nervous system (Vata INCREASED)
→ Stress also creates internal heat (Pitta INCREASED)
→ This combination worsens headache, hormones, and pain

In short=Your symptoms are not separate problems. They are different expressions of the same internal imbalance.

Treatment Goals -Calm the nervous system -Reduce excess heat in head and eyes -Support thyroid function naturally -Relieve spinal nerve irritation -Improve stress tolerance -Prevent recurrence Ayurveda focuses on root correction not just pain suppression.

Internal Medicines

A) For Headache & Stress Regulation

1) Brahmi Vati= 1 tablet twice daily after food =Calms brain over-activity, Reduces stress induced headache Improves sleep and concentration

2) Saraswatarishta= 15 ml with equal water after meals twice daily =Nourishes nerves, Reduces mental fatigue, Helpful in chronic stress disorders

B) For Eye Irritation & Head Heat 3) Saptamrita Lauha= 1 tablet twice daily =Classical eye tonic, Reduces burning, strain, drynesS, Supports blood and Pitta balance

4) Triphala Ghrita= ½ teaspoon at bedtime with warm milk =Cools excess heat, Nourishes eyes and nervous system

C) For Thyroid & Metabolic Balance 5) Kanchanar Guggulu= 2 tablets twice daily before food =Supports glandular balance, Helps lymphatic clearance, Widely used in thyroid disorders

D) For Back Pain & Leg Radiation 6) Yograj Guggulu= 2 tablets twice daily after meals =Pacifies aggravated Vata, Reduces nerve inflammation, Improves joint and spine mobility 7) Dashamoola Kashaya = 20ml twice daily before meals =Strong anti-Vata formulation, Reduces pain, stiffness, inflammation

External Therapies A) Head & Stress Therapies 1) head oil massage= Brahmi Taila / Ksheerabala Taila -Frequency: 2–3 times per week

B) Eye Care -Rose water eye wash daily -Triphala decoction (filtered & cooled) – weekly -Avoid excessive screen exposure

Diet -Warm, freshly cooked meals -Ghee (small amounts) -Moong dal, rice, vegetables -Coconut water -Coriander or fennel water

Avoid -Tea, coffee excess -Fried, spicy, sour foods -Cold foods and drinks -Late dinners -Skipping meals

Yoga -Bhujangasana -Setu Bandhasana -Makarasana -Shavasana

Pranayama -Anulom Vilom – balances nervous system -Bhramari – excellent for headache and stress -Deep abdominal breathing

Home Remedies -Warm sesame oil scalp massage -Triphala water at night -Coriander seed water for cooling -Foot massage before sleep

Expected Improvement Timeline -2–3 weeks= Reduced headache intensity -1 month= Improved sleep, eye comfort -2–3 months= Better stress tolerance & spinal pain relief -Long-term= Stabilization of thyroid symptoms

This is a chronic functional disorder not a dangerous one but it requires consistent care. Ayurveda works best when -Medicines are taken regularly -Lifestyle changes are followed -Stress is actively managed With proper treatment long-term relief and stability are achievable

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

I am working in medical field for total 7 years, out of which around 4 years was in hospital setup and 3 years in clinic practice. Hospital work gave me strong base, long duty hours, different type of cases, emergencies sometimes, and learning under pressure. Clinic work is different, slower but deeper, where I sit with patients, listen more, explain things again n again, and follow them over time. In hospital I handled day to day OPD cases, routine management, and also assisted seniors when things got complicated. That phase shaped my clinical thinking a lot, even now I sometimes catch myself thinking like hospital mode when a case looks serious. Clinic practice on the other hand taught me patience. Patients come with chronic issues, expectations, doubts, sometimes fear, and I had to adjust my approach accordingly. I focus on practical treatment planning, not just diagnosis on paper. Some days I feel I should have more time with each patient, but I try to balance it. My experience across hospital and clinic helps me understand both acute care and long term disease management. I still keep learning everyday, reading, observing patterns, correcting myself when needed, because medicine never stays same for long, and neither should the doctor.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

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

Dr. Mandeep Sharma
I am a doctor with about 22 years of experience working closely with chronic patients, and also with special children, and that long time in practice has shaped how I see medicine day to day. My work is focused on long-term care, chronic disease management, and supporting children with special needs, which is demanding and sometimes a bit heavy, but also very grounding. Over the years I have learned that treating chronic conditions is rarely straight line progress, and patients dont always fit into neat plans or textbook descriptions. I am deeply involved in ongoing care rather than quick fixes, following patients over time and adjusting treatment as their needs change, sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once. Working with special children has required patience, flexibility, and attention to small details that others might miss, and honestly I am still learning from them even after two decades. My approach is practical and calm, with a strong focus on continuity of care, symptom control, and improving daily function, not just lab numbers or reports. I am careful to listen, even when the story comes out messy or incomplete, because chronic illness rarely shows up clearly on first try. Some days the work feels straightforward, other days less clear, but I stay committed to providing consistent medical support that families can rely on. I try to balance clinical judgement with human understanding, though I get it wrong sometimes, and then I adjust. After 22 years in this field, I still believe steady care, clear communication, and realistic planning matter more then promises that sound good!!

Dr. Basavarajeshwari B
I am a holistic Ayurvedic physician focused on healing that connects the body, mind, and day to day life in a practical way. My academic journey started at DGMAMC, where I completed my graduation in Ayurveda, followed by a Master’s degree in Roganidana from SDM College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan, which shaped how I look at disease from the root level rather than just symptoms. During my training, I received extensive clinical exposure in both OPD and IPD settings, learning directly through patient care at these institutions. Later, I worked for over 2 years at Shri Jagadguru Gavisiddeswara Ayurvedic Medical College, Koppal, managing a wide range of clinical cases. Those years taught me patience, clinical clarity, and also how unpredictable real healing can be sometimes. My practice is based on personalized, evidence-based Ayurvedic medicine, with strong focus on diagnosis, preventive healthcare, and long-term sustainable healing. I spend time understanding prakriti, lifestyle patterns, and underlying imbalances, even when it takes longer than expected or feels repetitive. Ayurveda, for me, works best when care is individualised and realistic, not rushed. I believe true healing happens through the alchemy of mind and body, though I am still learning how deeply connected they really are. I try to offer care that is attentive, compassionate and accessible, and I stay available to my patients on call when they need guidance, even outside regular hours. Some days are intense, some quieter, but the commitment stays the same—supporting health in a way that feels grounded, honest, and human..

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. 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.
