According to ayurveda, these are caused by kapha pitta imbalance in the body. Itchy flakes on scalp due to active seborrheic dermatitis. Possibly aggravated by excess oil production and fungal overgrowth.

This dermatitis can worsen androgenetic alopecia. Don’t need to worry about this. Stay calm. Because stress will again worsen your condition. We can consume some medicines and do some external therapies. It will relieve your symptoms.

1. Apply neelibhringadi oil + neem oil over the head regularly. You can use mild shampoo to wash off the oil. Use shampoos having shikakai and Amla.

2. Triphala choornam 1 tsp with ghee at night.

3. Manjishtadi kashaya choornam 2tsp with 500 ml of boiled water can be taken as drinking water.

4. Intake of 2 Amla ( emblica officinalis) everyday.

5. You can do shirodhara in the nearest panchakarma centre.

6. Anutaila 2 drops in each nostril every morning in empty stomach.

Thank you, Sandeep for opening about your condition. I understand how frustrating and is turning. It can be to deal with continuous scalp,itching, flaking, redness and hair loss, especially when you have already tried Alapati treatment for a long time without much improvement at the age of 24 experiencing ongoing hair. Fall and meditation can really affect your confidence and peace of mind, but let me assure you that there is. Hope your body is not broken. it just needs a different kind of support something that works deeper than temporary separation of symptoms

What you are dealing with sebborrheic dermatitis along with Anthro. Genetic alopecia is not just a skin or skull problem. This issues reflect a disturbance in your inner balance, especially in the areas of digestion, stress handling oil metabolism, and overall skin nourishment pathways when this call becomes itchy flaky red, and inflamed. It shows that the heat moisture and oil in your body or not in balance years. Carpe say that becoming too dry in patches or two in others, and your skin is reacting by producing flakes, irritation and redness. This leads to constant information at the route level, which weakens is the hair follicles causes hate to fall before it’s fully growth style Along with this Anthro, genetic alopecia has a hormonal background. In some people. Air follicles become more sensitive to certain natural hormones in the body which causes gradual thinning and reciting of hair over time. Now when both these issues that is hormonal and inflammatory are present together, we need to trade this locally, but also support the whole system from within that is where Ayurvedic and natural healing can help. By working on digestion, skin, health, stress, balance, and deep tissue nourishment.

Let us first start with your diet and digestion because whatever you eat becomes the raw material for your skin and hair. You should avoid very oily, spicy fermented or deep fried foods as the version Carpe and oil imbalance cut down on red Chilli, sure, pickles, curd, cheese, bakery products, and any packed foods, Instead, it freshly cooked warm meals with a lot of vegetables, rights or millets, Green Moon, Dal and small amount of GHEE. Avoid cold drinks, soft drinks and too much caffeine. As they also triggers inflammation drink warm water throughout the day by sip to help flush out toxins, and cooler system. From within.

Start your morning with a glass of warm water with a little soaked fenugreek seed, water or a pinch of turmeric. This healthier skin and liver. Stay clear and calm breakfast should be light and warm try Mukta Chilla vegetablepoha lightly spiced oats … Avoid milk and fruit combination and never take care in the evening if you eat non-mate Food, keep It Limited to once or twice a week and avoid red meat altogether

No, let’s focus on local Carpe care you need something that is both cooling and anti-inflammatory for this scalp. Do not use shampoo or medicated products daily. They often strip natural oil and trigger more flaking. Use a mild herbal or baby shampoo twice a week on another days, just years scalp with plain warm water or decoration of Neem leaves once or twice a week, warm oil two years. Leave it for at least one hour before washing, use coconut oil or a mixture of Coconut and sesame oil infused with a Little camper, this helps reduce in inflammation, itching and flaking massage gently using your fingers, don’t rub hard, a gentle oil massage, increases blood flow to the roots and improve follicle strength

You can also prepare a simple air pack at home using dry powder, rosewater, and a pinch of turmeric. Apply it to this for 30 minutes before washing it. This reduces redness and prevents fungal over growth for hair fall. You can also soak fenugreek seeds overnight. Make a paste in the morning and apply. It has a mask Gandhi once we tell Nou, the roots and reduce dandruff naturally.

Now about internal support, your Carpe is also reacting to internal stress. You may not always feel it, but you’re nervous system. Sleep cycle or emotional balance may be disturbed which shows in your skin and air. Make sure you’re sleeping by 10 PM every night. Avoid using your phone in bed, try listening to calm music or doing 10 minutes of deep breathing before sleep. Also take 15 to 20 minutes of walk daily in fresh air without headphones. This gives your mind and body a chance to calm down.

Avoid constipation at all cost. If your bubbles are not clear daily, it leads to heat and talks in buildup, which shows upon the skin and scalp. You can take so warm water with G Time or a little natural fibre if needed, keep your directions, smooth and your stomach light light

Hair scalp and scalp inflammation are stubborn but respond well to regular care. Patient care. I suggest you stay away from frequent switching of products or treatments. Follow a simple consistent routine for at least 8 to 12 weeks before expecting Medi. Change your body needs time to respond and repair. You are still young, and your air follicle still have life in themwith the right internal cleanseing scarp coaching and dental nourishment. The condition can definitely improve.

Many people with sevorrhic dermatitis and androgenitic hair loss have found and hair growth with regular care, not through strong medicines, but by making the body and scalp healthy calm place for her to grow again, your body is not fighting you. It is asking for balance reason to it with Patience and it will reward you.

I am here to guide you through the ceiling process. Please don’t give up and don’t lose heart. Your hair and skin can recover naturally and slowly, but surely if you give them consistent, caring support.

Let me know if you would like to include a specific Ayurvedic prescription oil formulation or internal supplement plan. Surely, I will help you regarding prescribing medicines, which will further help you in your issue. Thank you. Take care.

HELLO SANDEEP,

A)SEBORRHIEC DERMATITIS(KAPHA-PITTA DUSTI) -in ayurveda, seborrheic dermatitis is understood as a Kapha-pitta skin disorder affecting the scalp(twak-vaha srotas vikar) -Kapha dosha increases oiliness, stickiness, and promotes fungal overgrowth. -pitta dosha adds redness, itching,and burning due to ushna(heat) quality. -the imbalance originates in rakta dhatu(blood) and media dhatu(fat tissues),creating toxin metabolic waste(ama) that blocks scalp pores.

your symptoms that match -greasy,flaky scales-kasha dominance -itching,redness-pitta aggravation -recurrence even after washing- poor metabolism of skin tissues and blockage in scalp channels

B)ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA -in ayurveda , this is classified under KHALITYA-PALITYA(balding+early greying) -it is a beeja dosha(genetic factor) combined with -pitta vitiation->damages romakoop(hair follicles) -kapha blockage->coats hair root, prevents fresh hair growth -vata imbalance(in chronic stage)->shrinks follicles, causes hair to thin.

*COMMON REASONS- -stress,spicy-junk food, night awakening, improper scalp care, prolonged infections, overuse of chemical hair products.

#tTREATMENT IS DIVIDED INTO PHASE WISE PHASE 1- DETOXIFICATION AND DOSHA SHAMANA(1-4 WEEKS) FOCUS- removing toxins, cooling pitta and unblocking kapha

5)KHADIRARISTA- 20 ml with equal water after meals- for 1 month= combats chronic dandruff and fungal scalp infection

*DANDRUFF AND HAIROSS ARE WORSENED BY POOR DIGESTION AND TOXIN ACCUMULATION IN BLOOD.THESE MEDICINES PURIFY THE RAKTA AND MEDA DHATU,RESTORE SROTAS,AND SUPPORT HAIR ROOT HEALTH.

#PHASE 2- HAIR ROOT STRENGTHENING AND REGROWTH PHASE(WEEK 4-12) FOCUS-nourish scalp, enhance circulation,stimulate hair growth

1)BHRINGARAJ CAPSULE- 2 cap after meals-for 2-3 months= strengthen follicles, promotes natural regrowth

2)CHYAWANPRASH(sugar free)-1 tsp in morning-daily=rasayana for long term hair and immunity

3)NARIKELA LAVANA- 125mg morning only with honey- 2 weeks=kapha absorbing relieves scalp coating.

4)TABLET HAIRICH/HAIRZONE CAPSULES- 1 cap thrice daily after food-2 months=multi herb hair growth support

#LOCAL SCALP CARE MEDICATED OIL BLEND- 3-4 TIMES/WEEK -neem oil(anti-fungal) -bhringaraj oil(hair root stimulant) -dashmoola taila(scalp inflammation relief) add 2-3 drops of camphor for itch control =warm slightly, apply to scalp, leave for 30-60 minutes before washing

#CLEANSING ROUTINE(MILD BUT EFFECTIVE) use herbal wash powder or gentle ayurvedic shampoo -triphala churna+hibiscus powder OR -khadi neem and aloevera shampoo/patanjali anti-dandrff

avoid regular shampoos that contain SLS/PARABENS/FRAGRANCE- they worsen inflammation

#POST WASH TONIC spray cooled Manjistha+rosewater decoction on scalp to soothe skin and reduce inflammation

PRANAYAM- -bhramari-relieves stress=10 min -anulom vilom- balances pitta and vata=10 min -sheetali/sheetakari- cools body, reduces scalp heat

LIFESTYLE sleep- 7-8 hours/night.avoid late nights screen time- limit phone/computer use, especially at night sun exposure- mid morning sun helps scalp and vit D avoid- excess tea,coffee,spicy oily junk, alcohol and dairy stress- do bhramari and anulom vilom pranayam daily

#DIET PLAN

can also go for RAKTAMOKSHANA at panchakarma clinic- if seborrhoea is stubborn and thick scalp boils are present

-BE PATIENT-visible improvement in scalp and hair density may take 6-8 weeks -avoid switching between ayurvedic and allopathic creams as it disturbs the skin barrier -hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia is gradual and requires minimum 3-6 months of consistent care -avoid frequent hair washing,2-3 times a week is ideal -try to wash hair with lukewarm or cool water ONLY.

do follow consistently 100% hair growth and cure from dermatitis you will get

thank you

For seborrheic dermatitis along with androgenetic alopecia, let’s look at the root causes according to Ayurveda. This condition generally relates to an imbalance of Pitta and Kapha doshas. What happens is, the excess Pitta can contributes to inflammation and redness, while Kapha leads to oiliness and flaking on the scalp.

To start managing this condition, consider first looking at your diet. Inclue foods which pacify both Pitta and Kapha. Cooked vegetables, legumes, and whole grains are beneficial; try to avoid oily, spicy food, alcohol, caffeine, and overly sour or salty food as they can aggravate Pitta. Try adding some fresh ginger in your meals to support digestion and overall balance.

For your scalp, a gentle oil massage using a combination of coconut oil and tea tree oil can be quite effective. Do this 2-3 times a weeks, applying the oil at night and washing it off in the morning with a mild ayurvedic shampoo that might contain ingredients like neem or aloe vera. A calming herbal tea like chamomile or mint in the evening helps soothe Pitta.

Exercise also plays an important role. A routine with calming activities like yoga or short daily walks can help reduce stress, which may influence Pitta. Practicing pranayama, such as nadi shodhana, may be beneficial for balancing doshas and calming the mind.

If you are finding that the skin inflammation is severe, you might try an Ayurvedic herbal remedy like triphala or guduchi. These herbs are known to support detoxification and enhance skin health. Make sure to consult with a local Ayurvedic practitioner before taking these to ensure they are appropriate for you.

Creating a regular sleep schedule, aiming for 7-8 hours of good sleep each night, is also crucial as it aids in overall reparación of the body tissues.

It’s crucial this be addressed holistically, so seeing both an Ayurvedic practitioner and your regular healthcare provider can provide the best insight, especially when you’re not seeing results from medications already tried.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Nayan Wale
I am working in medical field for total 7 years, out of which around 4 years was in hospital setup and 3 years in clinic practice. Hospital work gave me strong base, long duty hours, different type of cases, emergencies sometimes, and learning under pressure. Clinic work is different, slower but deeper, where I sit with patients, listen more, explain things again n again, and follow them over time. In hospital I handled day to day OPD cases, routine management, and also assisted seniors when things got complicated. That phase shaped my clinical thinking a lot, even now I sometimes catch myself thinking like hospital mode when a case looks serious. Clinic practice on the other hand taught me patience. Patients come with chronic issues, expectations, doubts, sometimes fear, and I had to adjust my approach accordingly. I focus on practical treatment planning, not just diagnosis on paper. Some days I feel I should have more time with each patient, but I try to balance it. My experience across hospital and clinic helps me understand both acute care and long term disease management. I still keep learning everyday, reading, observing patterns, correcting myself when needed, because medicine never stays same for long, and neither should the doctor.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Ankit Rathore
I am someone who really got to feel the weight of actual practice during my one year internship at the civil hospital. It wasn’t just routine—it was a daily crash course in reality, where textbook cases didn’t always match what walked through the door. I spent long hours rotating through departments—OPD, emergency, minor OT, even labor rooms—and yeah, each one taught me something I couldn’t’ve learned sitting in lectures. There were days I saw over 40–50 patients in OPD, most with multilayered complaints—gastritis mixed with anxiety, or skin rashes that flared worse in stressy situations. I had to listen sharp, note quick, and still not miss anything. Like, once I forgot to double-check a sugar reading and the case shifted entirely, and that messed with me a bit. You learn from these things tho. I did. Civil hospital life means working with all types of ppl—those with chronic issues like joint pain, those rushing in with acute fevers, and sometimes those who just need someone to explain their condition calmly. I handled case sheets, helped in rounds, observed surgeries (some minor, some I couldn’t stop thinking about later tbh), managed herbal prescriptions under supervision, and did a lotta counseling, which is underrated honestly. One thing that stood out to me was how often symptoms were being treated but not the pattern behind them. Like repeat migraines? Usually it was more about sleep or stress than just pain. That shifted how I approached things. Made me dig deeper, not just ask "what hurts" but also "since when and what else changed?" The internship taught me to act quick but also pause when needed, speak confidently but also shut up and learn when I didn’t know something—trust me, those moments happened too. It gave me the ground reality of how Ayurvedic support can sit side-by-side with hospital protocols. Not everything went smooth—forgot a file once, mixed two doses (minor issue but still), and yeah, sometimes I was too cautious when I shoud've acted faster. But that year shaped me... more than anything else. And I carry all that messiness and learning into my practice now, everyday.

I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

Dr. Mandeep Sharma
I am a doctor with about 22 years of experience working closely with chronic patients, and also with special children, and that long time in practice has shaped how I see medicine day to day. My work is focused on long-term care, chronic disease management, and supporting children with special needs, which is demanding and sometimes a bit heavy, but also very grounding. Over the years I have learned that treating chronic conditions is rarely straight line progress, and patients dont always fit into neat plans or textbook descriptions. I am deeply involved in ongoing care rather than quick fixes, following patients over time and adjusting treatment as their needs change, sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once. Working with special children has required patience, flexibility, and attention to small details that others might miss, and honestly I am still learning from them even after two decades. My approach is practical and calm, with a strong focus on continuity of care, symptom control, and improving daily function, not just lab numbers or reports. I am careful to listen, even when the story comes out messy or incomplete, because chronic illness rarely shows up clearly on first try. Some days the work feels straightforward, other days less clear, but I stay committed to providing consistent medical support that families can rely on. I try to balance clinical judgement with human understanding, though I get it wrong sometimes, and then I adjust. After 22 years in this field, I still believe steady care, clear communication, and realistic planning matter more then promises that sound good!!

Dr. Basavarajeshwari B
I am a holistic Ayurvedic physician focused on healing that connects the body, mind, and day to day life in a practical way. My academic journey started at DGMAMC, where I completed my graduation in Ayurveda, followed by a Master’s degree in Roganidana from SDM College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan, which shaped how I look at disease from the root level rather than just symptoms. During my training, I received extensive clinical exposure in both OPD and IPD settings, learning directly through patient care at these institutions. Later, I worked for over 2 years at Shri Jagadguru Gavisiddeswara Ayurvedic Medical College, Koppal, managing a wide range of clinical cases. Those years taught me patience, clinical clarity, and also how unpredictable real healing can be sometimes. My practice is based on personalized, evidence-based Ayurvedic medicine, with strong focus on diagnosis, preventive healthcare, and long-term sustainable healing. I spend time understanding prakriti, lifestyle patterns, and underlying imbalances, even when it takes longer than expected or feels repetitive. Ayurveda, for me, works best when care is individualised and realistic, not rushed. I believe true healing happens through the alchemy of mind and body, though I am still learning how deeply connected they really are. I try to offer care that is attentive, compassionate and accessible, and I stay available to my patients on call when they need guidance, even outside regular hours. Some days are intense, some quieter, but the commitment stays the same—supporting health in a way that feels grounded, honest, and human..

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.
