I visited Dr. M. Chandra Sekhar at Charaka, on a recommendation from my uncle, a retired Ayurvedic doctor.
I did not knew what my issue was, i was having hip joint pain, a couple of Orthopadecians did not diagnose well and gave me a wrong diagnosis and it was becoming more problematic and by the time I approached Chandra Sekhar garu and the real symptoms just started to surface, but still in very early phase of disease.
So, the Chandra Sekhar garu has ruled out a suspicion beyond doubt and got one more test done and he clearly diagnosed what my ailment was back then.
He prescribed, intense panchakarma therapy for 45 days, to resolve this issue and other lower disc bulge issues, combined into a single treatment plan.
Doctor supported me intensely during the entire panchakarma therapy phase and thereafter.
He not only, treated me physically, but also moulded me psychologically, but proper counselling and thus correcting the thought process and attitude towards life when facing an autoimmune issue like rheumatism involving both joints and nerves, along the spine and also hip.
I also, underwent, functional medicine tests from AIG hospital too, amounting to around 40K in costs, but they did not tell me anything, and doctor said, it is autoimmunity and can’t be cured and I must consult a Rheumatologist and should be on medicines lifelong for.
Chandrasekhar, garu mentioned my problem as inflammation and he did all what a good doctor would to ease the patient’s pain and tension (I used to get panic attacks as the initial diagnosis took a lot of time, i was having pain, as no allopathy doctor, no orthopadecian was diagnosing me properly.)
So, the doctor helped me overcoming anti-anxiety medications too quite faster.
He explained the problem clearly, the cause, the treatment and timeline. I used to pester him non-stop on the diseases cause in more detail after understanding the issues. He calmly explained the root cause and treated me wonderfully.
I strongly recommend anyone consulting Chandra sekhar garu at Charaka, to strictly follow and stick to the diet that he prescribes.
He knows the cause of illness, and he has expert knowledge on Pathya and Apathya (what to eat and what not to eat for a specific health condition), to my utter shock some experienced ayurvedic doctors said autoimmune issues can’t be cured and I can eat all except non-veg.
So, out of my personal experience with the doctor and Rheumatism, I can strongly say “Please trust ayurveda & doctor and his advice”.
He doesn’t over prescribe either medicines or panchakarma therapy. They help a lot in recovering diseases, especially the serious ones.
Panchakarma therapy rooms are maintained very cleanly.
Above all Dr.M. Chandra sekhar garu practices ayurveda with ethics, his expertise, brings a lot of wonderful experience.
Trust ayurveda and eat healthy, stay healthy. Don’t believe in nay sayers about ayurveda. Its not just science but also the expertise and experience of the doctor that matters too in ayurveda.
