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. 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.

Hello I get how annoying it must be dealing with a lung thing and a cough that won’t quit, especially at night, for the past couple of months. Coughing that won’t stop, mainly when you’re trying to sleep, not only messes up your rest but can make your lungs and your immune system weak. Don’t stress too much! With the right Ayurveda stuff and a few changes to how you live, things can get better, like, a lot.

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

Based on what you’re saying, it sounds like it could be: * A long-lasting cough * Some kind of breathing worry * Too much Kapha and Vata Dosha, with gunk (toxins) building up in your breathing pipes.

The fact that you have a lung thing hints that Kapha is all thick and gunky, stopping air from flowing properly and causing swelling.

AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

INTERNAL MEDICATION

Sitopaladi Churna – ½ tsp twice a day with honey Talisadi Churna – ½ tsp twice a day Vasavaleha – 1 tsp twice a day after you eat Chyawanprash – 1 tsp in the morning

For the lung itself:

Kanakasava – 15 ml with the same amount of water, twice a day Maha Sudarshan Ghan Vati 1-0-1 after food – for a cough that just won’t go away

2. HOME REMEDIES –Turmeric milk before bed –Steam with eucalyptus –Ginger + honey paste before you sleep –Sip warm water all day long

DIET AND LIFESTYLE

AVOID –cold stuff or have ice cream – Eat fried, greasy grub –Eat curd at night or snack on baked stuff –Smoke or be around smoke

INCLUDE – Eat warm, light meals – Have soup – Eat dinner early – Sleep with your head propped up a bit – Do some easy breathing exercises

Since the CT scan shows a lung infection and you’ve been having symptoms for 2 months, you should follow the treatment consistently

Ayurveda will: * Make you cough less * Get rid of the gunk * Help your lungs heal * Stop it from happening again

If you stick with the plan, your lungs should bounce back.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

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.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR REPORT AND SYMPTOMS I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW DISTURBING IT IS TO SUFFER FROM CONTINUOUS NIGHT COUGH FOR TWO MONTHS ESPECIALLY WHEN CT SCAN HAS SHOWN LUNG INFECTION THIS CONDITION NEEDS CAREFUL ATTENTION AND PROPER HEALING BECAUSE LONG STANDING COUGH WEAKENS THE LUNGS AND OVERALL IMMUNITY

FROM AN AYURVEDIC POINT OF VIEW THIS IS MAINLY A CONDITION OF KAPHA DOSHA ASSOCIATED WITH PITTA AND VATA INVOLVEMENT THE INFECTION AND HEAT IN LUNGS IS DUE TO PITTA WHILE THICK MUCUS AND NIGHT COUGH IS DUE TO KAPHA AND THE PERSISTENCE DRYNESS AND IRRITATION IS DUE TO VATA THIS IS WHY COUGH IS MORE AT NIGHT WHEN KAPHA AND VATA DOMINATE

FIRST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT NIGHT COUGH INDICATES POSTURAL MUCUS COLLECTION AND LUNG WEAKNESS SO DO NOT IGNORE IT

FOR INTERNAL AYURVEDIC MEDICINES YOU CAN TAKE SITOPALADI CHURNA HALF TEASPOON THREE TIMES DAILY MIXED WITH HONEY THIS WILL SOOTHE THROAT REDUCE COUGH AND HELP IN LUNG HEALING TALISADI CHURNA HALF TEASPOON TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD WITH HONEY IF PHLEGM IS PRESENT VASAKASAVA FIFTEEN ML TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD WITH EQUAL WATER THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR LUNG INFECTION AND NIGHT COUGH IF COUGH IS DRY AND IRRITATING ADD YASHTIMADHU CHURNA HALF TEASPOON TWICE DAILY WITH WARM MILK OR WATER

AT NIGHT BEFORE SLEEP TAKE TURMERIC HALF TEASPOON WITH WARM MILK IF MILK SUITS YOU OTHERWISE WITH WARM WATER THIS WILL REDUCE INFLAMMATION AND NIGHT COUGH

FOR EXTERNAL SUPPORT DAILY STEAM INHALATION WITH PLAIN WATER OR WITH A PINCH OF AJWAIN OR EUCALYPTUS OIL ONCE DAILY DO NOT OVERDO

DIET IS VERY IMPORTANT TAKE WARM FRESHLY COOKED FOOD AVOID CURD BANANA COLD WATER ICE CREAM FRIED FOOD BAKERY ITEMS AND LATE NIGHT DINNER DO NOT SLEEP IMMEDIATELY AFTER EATING KEEP HEAD SLIGHTLY ELEVATED AT NIGHT

AVOID COLD AIR DUST SMOKE AND STRONG PERFUMES KEEP CHEST AND THROAT WARM

VERY IMPORTANT IF CT SCAN SHOWED SIGNIFICANT INFECTION AND IF YOU HAVE FEVER WEIGHT LOSS BLOOD IN SPUTUM OR BREATHLESSNESS THEN MODERN MEDICAL FOLLOW UP IS ALSO NECESSARY AYURVEDA WORKS BEST AS SUPPORT AND RECOVERY IN SUCH CASES

WITH PROPER MEDICINE DIET AND REST NIGHT COUGH REDUCES GRADUALLY AND LUNGS START HEALING PLEASE BE CONSISTENT AND DO NOT STOP MEDICINES EARLY

HELLO, You have been suffering from: -Lung infection confirmed by CT scan -Persistent cough for more than 2 months -Cough worse at night This means the disease has become chronic, not acute.

How Ayurveda Understands This Problem

1. What is happening inside your body? According to Ayurveda: -Your lungs (Pranavaha Srotas) are affected -Kapha Dosha (phlegm, mucus) has accumulated deeply in the lungs -Vata Dosha (air movement) is disturbed, causing repeated coughing -Due to long duration, body immunity is weakened -Infection indicates Ama (toxins) + Pitta involvement

This condition is commonly described as: -Jirna Kasa (chronic cough) -With features of Kaphaja Kasa -Sometimes overlapping with Tamaka Shwasa (asthma-like condition)

Why Cough Is Worse at Night At night: -Kapha naturally increases -Lying down causes mucus to settle in lungs -Airways become narrow -This triggers repeated coughing fits That is why night cough is an important warning sign.

TREATMENT GOALS -Clear infection and toxins from lungs -Liquefy and expel thick mucus -Heal damaged lung tissue -Reduce night cough -Improve lung strength and immunity -Prevent recurrence

Internal medications

A. Sitopaladi Churna=1/2 tsp with honey twice dailyy after meals for 8 weeks =Reduces cough frequency, Clears Kapha from lungs, Acts as mild antimicrobial, Soothes throat and bronchial lining

B. Abhrak Bhasma (100 Puti)= 125 mg with honey can be mixed with sitopaladi for 2-3 months twice daily after meals =Best Ayurvedic medicine for lungs, Repairs lung tissue, Improves oxygen exchange, Useful in chronic lung infections

C. Godanti Bhasma= 250 mg twice daily after meals for 2 months =Reduces inflammation, Helps in infection-related weakness, Controls night cough and feverish feeling

D. Talisadi Churna= 1/2 tsp with warm water twice daily after meals for 2 months =Melts thick sputum, Improves breathing, Reduces chest heaviness

E. Guduchi Ghan Vati= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 2 months with warm water =Boosts immunity, Fights infection naturally, Prevents recurrence

F. Kankasava (if chest congestion is heavy)= 15ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 1 month =Strong expectorant, Clears deep-seated Kapha, Helpful in chronic bronchitis-like conditions

2. EXTERNAL & SUPPORTIVE THERAPIES

-Steam Inhalation (Daily) -Hot water + Ajwain OR eucalyptus oil (2 drops) -Once or twice daily =Opens airways, loosens mucus, reduces night cough

-Chest Oil Massage -Use karpuradi oil -Gentle massage before bath =Improves circulation and lung comfort

3. PANCHAKARMA (When Condition Stabilizes)

Nasya Therapy -Anu Taila -2 drops each nostril in morning =Clears Kapha from head and lungs
Reduces post-nasal drip and night cough

DIET STRICTLY AVOID - Cold water - Ice cream
- Curd at night
- Banana
- Fried and oily foods - Bakery items
- Smoking or passive smoke

INCLUDE - Warm water throughout day
- Vegetable soups
- Moong dal
- Garlic (cooked)
- Ginger, black pepper, turmeric
- Old rice, wheat

HOME REMEDIES (Very Effective) Night Cough Remedy Before bed: -½ tsp turmeric -½ tsp ghee -1 tsp honey Lick slowly - Soothes lungs
- Reduces night cough
- Improves sleep

Ginger Decoction -Ginger + black pepper boiled in water -Drink warm once daily

YOGA & PRANAYAM Recommended - Anulom Vilom
- Bhramari - Light stretching

Avoid - Kapalbhati
- Bhastrika
- Forceful breathing

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Sleep with head elevated -Avoid day sleep -Keep chest and neck warm -Avoid cold air exposure -Avoid talking loudly or continuously

-Chronic lung infection needs patience and consistency -Ayurvedic medicines heal slowly but deeply -Never stop modern medicines suddenly if already prescribed -Combine Ayurveda with modern care safely

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.

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

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

Dr. 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.

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.
