How to Identify a Doctor vs. a Health Coach Influencer?

 How to Identify a Doctor vs. a Health Coach Influencer? I used to wonder—why do I spend two hours on a single consultation? Is it really worth it? But over time, I realized something important. Many of my patients are truly committed to their healing journey. They follow the guidance I provide, and within a few months, they experience significant improvements. Many even achieve a medicine-free life. Their trust and transformation lead them to recommend me to their friends and family. But is every patient obedient? No. Some test our patience, questioning everything unnecessarily or believing they know more than the doctor. These individuals often struggle to see results, not because the treatment is ineffective, but because they refuse to follow it sincerely. Regardless, as Ayurveda teaches, when we do our duty with integrity, karma takes care of the rest. Lately, I’ve noticed a growing trend—self-proclaimed "health influencers" promoting Westernized wellness ideas while cons...

Bloating, Brain Fog & Bad Vibes—Thanks, Stubborn Stools!"

Vibandha (Constipation) is Not Just Discomfort—It’s a Disruption of Your Doshas! When Apana Vata (the downward-moving energy) gets imbalanced due to wrong food, stress, and irregular routines, the body struggles to eliminate waste.  When mala (toxins) accumulate in the colon, it leads to: 🌿 Manodourbalya (Mental Fatigue & Brain Fog) – A sluggish gut disrupts prana flow to the mind. 🌿 Twak Roga (Skin Issues like Acne & Eczema) – Toxins (ama) overflow into the bloodstream, manifesting on the skin. 🌿 Nidra Vikara (Disturbed Sleep) – An aggravated Vata causes restless nights. 🌿 Rajonivritti Vikara (Hormonal Imbalances) – When digestion is weak, reproductive health also suffers. 🌿 Adhmana & Anaha (Bloating & Gas) – Trapped Vata in the intestines leads to discomfort. Healing constipation is not just about temporary relief—it’s about balancing your doshas for long-term wellness. Follow Ayurvedic wisdom with: ✅ Ushnodaka (Warm Water) in the morning to activate Agni. ✅ ...

Joint Pain, Gas, & Hypothyroidism: Ayurveda’s Take on Raw Salads"

  Joint Pain, Gas, & Hypothyroidism: Ayurveda’s Take on Raw Salads" Ayurveda emphasizes that food should be easily digestible, support Agni (digestive fire), and be compatible with an individual’s prakriti (body constitution). Raw salads, though rich in nutrients, are often cold (Sheeta), rough (Khara), dry (Ruksha), and heavy (Guru), which can disturb digestion and lead to various imbalances in the body. When consumed excessively or inappropriately, raw salads can lead to the following health issues: 1. Weak Digestion & Indigestion (Mandagni and Ajirna) Raw vegetables are heavy to digest (Guru) and require strong Agni. People with weak digestion (low Pitta) experience bloating, heaviness, and incomplete digestion. Raw salads can lead to undigested food residue (Ama), which blocks body channels (srotas). 2. Toxin Accumulation (Ama Roga) When raw food is not properly digested, it produces Ama (metabolic toxins), leading to lethargy, sluggish digestion, and a coated...

Broken Crayons Still Color: A Lesson in Parenting & Healing

  Broken Crayons Still Color: A Lesson in Parenting & Healing The Power of Broken Crayons: A Journey from Self-Doubt to Healing I still remember the day my mother yelled at me. “You are good for nothing!” she said. It hurt, but deep inside, I knew she was partially right. Coming from a family of actors, I struggled to express emotions during a fancy dress competition. My mother repeatedly demonstrated the lines, her expressions perfect, yet my focus remained on the words, not the emotions. I don’t blame her—she wanted me to be my best. But years later, I realized that broken crayons still color. Now, when I hear words like: “You are a blessing to my life.” “My child is healthy because of you.” “Dr. Priya is pregnant.” I see how my journey, once marked by self-doubt, became one of healing and transformation. As parents, let’s minimize yelling. Let’s nurture, not judge, our children based on grades or achievements. Every child is a blessing, waiting for the right moment to shine....

Stop Overworking Your Stomach: The Dangers of Frequent Meals"

 Stop Overworking Your Stomach: The Dangers of Frequent Meals" Is Eating 6-7 Meals a Day Healthy? 🌿Ayurveda’s View on Frequent Meals👇 Modern nutrition often recommends frequent meals to boost metabolism.  However, Ayurveda holds a different perspective.  Eating multiple meals a day doesn’t stoke your digestive fire (Agni); it dampens it. Your Agni is central to your overall health, longevity, and immunity.  A weakened Agni can lead to undigested food residues, which produce toxins (Ama) and disturb gut health. Most gastrointestinal issues arise when food habits become overly complex. Understanding the Digestive Process 🌿Digestion occurs in four stages: 1. Eating 2. Digesting 3. Absorbing 4. Eliminating This cycle should be smooth and uninterrupted.  When you eat another meal before the previous one is fully digested, it disrupts the entire process.  The result?  Indigestion, bloating, and other gut issues!!! 🌿Signs of Complete Digestion Before eati...
