Dr. Manjusha Vikrant Pate
With over 18 years of dedicated Ayurvedic practice, I have focused extensively on treating skin and hair disorders, integrating classical Panchakarma therapies with individualized care. A major aspect of my clinical approach involves Upakarma procedures—supportive therapies within Panchakarma—which I customize based on each patient’s Prakriti (constitutional type). I believe true healing begins when treatments are aligned with the body’s natural balance, and this philosophy guides every aspect of my work. My specialization includes the preparation and use of Ayurvedic formulations that I personally design, including face packs, hair packs, body oils, and facial oils—each one carefully selected and recommended according to the patient’s specific dosha and skin/hair condition. These formulations are result-oriented and rooted in time-tested Ayurvedic principles, ensuring safe, natural, and sustainable outcomes. In my practice, Ayurvedic facials are more than just cosmetic procedures; they are therapeutic treatments tailored to the unique constitution of each individual, aiming to restore inner and outer harmony. By incorporating dosha-based skincare routines and traditional beauty therapies, I help patients achieve visible improvement in conditions like pigmentation, acne, hair fall, and premature aging—without relying on chemical-based solutions. My goal is to blend classical Ayurveda with a practical, patient-focused approach. Whether managing chronic skin concerns, offering customized herbal solutions, or delivering rejuvenative Panchakarma therapies, I ensure each treatment is deeply personalized, holistic, and rooted in authentic Ayurvedic wisdom.

Lip cheilitis can be quite bothersome but applying principles from Ayurveda can help. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this condition may relate to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs dryness and mobility, and perhaps Pitta dosha due to the burning sensation. It's essential to address these imbalances to soothe the symptoms effectively. Firstly, focus on hydration - both internally and externally. Drink plenty o' warm water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated and maintain your Agni, or digestive fire. You can enhance this with herbal teas like ginger tea, adding a pinch of turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties. Now, for external care, applying ghee or coconut oil can be very nourishing for dry lips. Do this several times a day, especially after meals and before bed. Make sure the ghee used is pure and organic. You might also want to try using a mixture of honey and rose water, applying it gently to the lips to bring a bit of moisture and cooling effect from the rose. Your diet plays a significant role, too. Emphasize eating warm, cooked foods avoiding excessively spicy or salty contents which can aggravate Pitta. Think about including more sweet, juicy fruits like apples and pears, and favor warm smoothies or soups that provide both nourishment and hydration. Be mindful of your environment and personal habits. Avoid licking your lios as this will promote more dryness. Use a humidifier in your living space if the air feels dry, especially during colder months. If you feel your condition is persisting or getting worse despite trying these strategies, or if you notice any signs like severe pain, open sores, or blistering, see a healthcare professional. While Ayurveda supports many gentle and nurturing treatments, some situations need closer medical attention.
