Dr. Meenakshi

I am currently working as an Associate Professor and Ayurvedic Consultant at a reputed Ayurvedic medical college in Karnataka. My dual role in academics and clinical practice allows me to stay deeply connected with both the foundational principles of Ayurveda and their real-world application in patient care. With years of experience in teaching and treating patients, I have developed a strong grounding in classical Ayurvedic texts as well as hands-on expertise in managing a wide spectrum of health conditions. In my academic role, I am involved in mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students, guiding them through theoretical understanding, clinical training, and practical application of Ayurvedic medicine. I actively participate in departmental research, workshops, and case discussions, fostering a learning environment that emphasizes both scientific inquiry and traditional wisdom. As a consultant, I provide holistic Ayurvedic care for chronic lifestyle disorders, musculoskeletal problems, women’s health issues, gastrointestinal diseases, and skin disorders. My treatment plans are deeply personalized, based on a thorough assessment of Prakriti (body constitution) and Vikriti (imbalance), integrating herbal medicine, Panchakarma therapies, dietary advice, and preventive health strategies. I strongly believe in the importance of patient education and preventive care. Whether I am managing a complex condition or offering day-to-day wellness support, my aim is always to treat the root cause and promote long-term healing. I also collaborate with fellow practitioners and students to stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic research and contribute meaningfully to the field. My commitment lies in offering authentic, evidence-based, and compassionate Ayurvedic care while nurturing the next generation of Ayurveda professionals with the same values.

Acne that's sticking around despite treatments like chemical peels and leech therapy can be pretty frustrating. In Ayurveda, acne might be tied to an imbalance in the doshas, especially *pitta* and sometimes *kapha*. Let's see how we can adjust things to potentially help improve your situation.

The redness, inflammation, and itching you mention are classic signs of *pitta* aggravation. This can be impacted by diet, lifestyle, or stress. *Kapha* might also have a say, causing blockages and the persistence of acne.

Since your cycle is regular, it's less likely a hormonal disruption, though still nopt impossible. Focus on calming and balancing *pitta*: 

- **Diet Adjustments**: Try cooling foods while avoiding spicy, oily, or very sugary foods. You might include more fresh vegetables and fruits like cucumbers and melons. Drinking aloe vera juice might also be soothing—about 10-20ml once daily.

- **Daily Habits**: Consider practicing relaxation techniques, such as gentle yoga or pranayama. Leech therapy is well-regarded for its pitta-reducing potential, so its duration might need reassessment by your practitioner.

- **Local Application**: A paste made from sandalwood powder and rose water can calm inflamed acne areas. Make a paste and apply to the affected area for about 15 minutes daily before washing off.

- **Additional Supplements**: While Kaishore Guggulu and Arogyavardhini Vati are great, you might also consider adding *Manjishtha*, known for its blood-purification properties. Consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner would offer a rightly dosed routine.

- **Hygiene & Skin Care**: Use gentle, non-comedogenic skincare.  Avoid harsh scrubbing or over-washing. A mild, herbal cleanser could be less irritating.

It's wise to regularly monitor changes and consult both Ayurvedic practices along with dermatological guidance if results are not improving. Acne can occasionally be a signal of underlying imbalance, so an integrated approach is often best.
