Being a first-generation Ayurvedic doctor with no family legacy, no glamorous clinic, and no ancestral name to back me is hard.
But you know what’s harder?
→ Watching someone with hypothyroidism take thyroid pills for 10 years straight without ever being told why their body stopped functioning naturally in the first place.
→ Seeing young women with severe hair fall invest in 10+ chemical shampoos and serums
— But never address their gut health, sleep, or mental stress.
→ Getting tagged in posts that say “Take ashwagandha for thyroid” like it’s a magical fix
— without any personalization, prakriti analysis, or food correction.
→ Hearing “My TSH is normal, but I still feel tired, bloated, and hair is falling like crazy” — and knowing they’re trapped in symptom management, not root healing.
→ Watching influencers do “hair care routines” with exotic oils, while skipping breakfast, sleeping past midnight, and surviving on coffee and salads.
→ People thinking a hair pack will solve chronic hair fall when the root issue is a sluggish liver, low iron, or unprocessed emotional stress.
→ Getting told “Ayurveda is slow” by someone who tried one herbal pill for a week and expected magic
— While ignoring years of imbalance and lifestyle damage.
→ Being asked to “send a quick herb” for complex autoimmune issues or hormonal imbalances like thyroid
— As if ancient wisdom is now a shortcut service.
→ Seeing women lose their hair, confidence, and energy after childbirth
— And being told it’s “normal” and nothing can be done. (When Ayurveda has entire postpartum protocols for nourishment and repair.)
→ Fighting the image that real Ayurveda is only for retreats, detoxes, and pretty reels
— When it’s actually deep, layered, and rooted in real life.
Because today, being an Ayurvedic doctor isn’t just about healing.
It’s about defending a science that’s been misused, misunderstood, and marketed into oblivion.
We’re not selling overnight glow-ups.
We’re restoring balance — one patient, one protocol, one honest conversation at a time.
