Why are the fingernails wavy and the skin is very dry - #158

I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Graduating with an MD in Ayurvedic Medicine from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in 2008, he brings over 15 years of expertise in integrative healthcare.

A sought-after speaker at wellness conferences, he practices at a reputable Ayurvedic wellness center, dedicated to advancing Ayurveda’s role in holistic health and preventive care.

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with 1 year of hands-on clinical experience, committed to providing effective and holistic healthcare solutions. I began my professional journey as a VOPD (Virtual Outpatient Department) doctor at Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited, where I served for 6 months. During this time, I gained valuable experience in patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning while managing a variety of acute and chronic health conditions through Ayurvedic principles. My role involved virtual consultations, customized treatment protocols, and continuous patient follow-ups, allowing me to sharpen my diagnostic and counseling skills in both preventive and curative aspects of Ayurveda. Following this, I worked as a Resident Doctor at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur, where I further strengthened my clinical expertise. Here, I was actively involved in the management of patients undergoing traditional Panchakarma therapies, Ayurvedic detoxification procedures, and personalized treatment regimens. My responsibilities included in-depth patient consultations, planning and executing Panchakarma therapies, and collaborating closely with senior Ayurvedic consultants to ensure safe and effective patient care. This role enhanced my understanding of classical Ayurvedic therapies, lifestyle modifications, and integrative approaches tailored to individual patient needs. With experience in both OPD and Panchakarma settings, I approach each patient with empathy, attentiveness, and a commitment to delivering authentic Ayurvedic care. My goal is to help patients achieve long-term wellness through natural healing methods rooted in traditional Ayurvedic knowledge.

I’m Dr. Maitri, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Dravyaguna (Ayurvedic Pharmacology), with a strong foundation in classical Ayurvedic herbs and their therapeutic applications. I currently run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli, where I have been practicing for the past two years, offering personalized treatment plans rooted in the principles of Ayurveda. My clinical focus includes the management of PCOD, skin and hair disorders, and joint-related conditions such as arthritis, stiffness, and back pain. By integrating my academic training with hands-on experience, I strive to provide treatments that are both effective and sustainable. I place a strong emphasis on understanding each patient’s prakriti (individual constitution) and tailor therapies using medicinal herbs, dietary corrections (ahara), and lifestyle guidance (vihara) to restore balance and long-term health. Having a background in Dravyaguna allows me to apply the power of plant-based medicine with precision. I deeply study the rasa, guna, virya, vipaka, and prabhava of each herb before selecting them for my formulations. This ensures that my prescriptions are not just symptomatic but deeply curative, targeting the root causes of disease. In my practice, I have seen encouraging results in cases of hormonal imbalance, acne, pigmentation, premature hair fall, and chronic joint pain. I also guide patients through seasonal detox plans and rejuvenation therapies to enhance vitality and prevent recurrence of illness. I am passionate about making Ayurveda understandable and practical for today’s lifestyle. Whether it’s managing modern-day metabolic issues or offering natural beauty solutions, my goal is to empower patients with holistic tools for long-term well-being. As I continue my postgraduate journey, I remain committed to deepening my knowledge in medicinal plants and applying that wisdom to help patients heal naturally and completely.

I am Dr Misba Gaded and ya, I'm an Ayurvedic physician with a BAMS degree—Ayurveda isn’t just my profession, it kinda became the way I see health, honestly. I mainly focus on general wellness n women’s health.. both areas really close to me for different reasons. Over time, I’ve got used to seeing a wide range of stuff like skin problems (those chronic ones that keep bouncing back), obesity, digestion that just won’t stay calm, joint pain that lingers, and typical things like constant fatigue or that never-ending cough & mild fevers. Sometimes it's more about untangling what's not obvious, right? One of my deeper areas of interest is women’s wellness.. I deal a lot with hormonal mess-ups—like PCOS, irregular periods, ovarian cysts, or issues around garbhashaya (womb care). Most women I meet are juggling so much, and it's like, they forget their own balance in all that. I try to bring that back through a mix of Ayurvedic herbs, food tweaks, daily routine shifts and even simple yoga flows if they’re open to that. Not like some magic fix in a bottle kinda thing.. it’s more patient, more layered. Sometimes we go all classical—formulations from the granthas, tailor-made to the person's prakriti and vikruti. Other times it’s just about cleaning up gut stuff and giving digestion some peace. That helps a lot more than people expect. I don't usually rush through consults, coz I need to really listen—sometimes what a person’s not saying tells you more than what they are. Anyway, I’m not into overcomplicating treatment or going all flashy about Ayurveda. I like keeping it rooted. I just want to help people feel more “at ease” in their own body again, whether it’s through a ghee-prep or a lifestyle reset or calming an aggravated pitta that's burning them from inside out. That's kinda the space I work in. Every person comes in with their own story.. I just try to meet them where they are and walk with them from there.

I am a passionate and responsible Ayurvedic doctor, having completed my internship at the renowned VPSV Ayurveda College, Kottakkal, Kerala. My clinical journey has been shaped by the rich traditions of Kerala Ayurveda, where I gained extensive hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating patients with authentic Ayurvedic therapies. I am dedicated to delivering personalized and holistic healthcare, with a focus on preventive medicine and positive lifestyle modification. I actively counsel my patients on achieving optimal health through balanced diet, daily regimen, stress management, and natural therapies. Additionally, I am a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from the Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence, which allows me to integrate meditation and mindfulness techniques into my treatment protocols, promoting mental well-being along with physical health. My approach is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a commitment to empowering patients on their journey towards complete wellness.

I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I have accumulated over 20 years of experience working across multiple medical specialties, including General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, and Cardiology. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to diagnose and manage a wide range of health conditions, helping patients navigate both acute and chronic medical challenges. My exposure to these diverse fields has given me a comprehensive understanding of the human body and its interconnected systems. Whether it is managing general medical conditions, neurological disorders, skin diseases, or heart-related issues, I approach every case with careful attention to detail and evidence-based practices. I believe in providing accurate diagnosis, patient education, and treatment that is both effective and tailored to the individual’s specific needs. I place great emphasis on patient-centered care, where listening, understanding, and clear communication play a vital role. Over the years, I have seen how combining clinical knowledge with empathy can significantly improve treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. With two decades of continuous learning and hands-on experience, I am committed to staying updated with the latest medical advancements and integrating them into my daily practice. My goal has always been to deliver high-quality, ethical, and compassionate medical care that addresses not just the illness but the overall well-being of my patients.

I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

I have been practicing as a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician since 1990, with over three decades of clinical experience in treating a wide range of chronic and lifestyle-related health conditions. My core areas of focus include hair disorders, skin diseases, and lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, and stress-related imbalances. Over the years, I have developed a patient-centric approach that emphasizes deep-rooted healing through authentic Ayurvedic principles. My treatment philosophy is based on understanding the unique constitution (prakriti) and imbalance (vikriti) of each patient, allowing me to craft individualized care plans using classical formulations, diet corrections, detox therapies (shodhana), and lifestyle modifications. Whether it’s persistent hair fall, recurring skin allergies, or long-term metabolic disorders, I aim to address the root cause rather than just suppress symptoms. In the management of lifestyle disorders like diabetes and arthritis, I integrate Ayurvedic medicines with structured dinacharya (daily routines) and ahar (dietary guidance), focusing on sustainable results and long-term wellness. I also work extensively with stress-related concerns, offering holistic strategies that incorporate mind-body practices, including meditation, herbal support, and counseling rooted in Ayurveda. With a strong foundation in traditional Ayurvedic texts and decades of hands-on experience, I remain committed to providing safe, natural, and effective healthcare solutions.
