Dr. Rukkam Sharma
With over 7 years of dedicated clinical experience, I have been committed to practicing authentic Ayurvedic medicine with a patient-centered and root-cause-based approach. My journey as an Ayurvedic physician has allowed me to work with a wide range of patients suffering from chronic and lifestyle-related conditions. I have developed a strong foundation in diagnosing dosha imbalances and tailoring treatment protocols that include classical Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, personalized diet, and lifestyle modifications. Throughout my career, I have focused on combining traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a clear understanding of each patient’s unique constitution (prakriti) and health history. My areas of interest include managing metabolic disorders, joint and musculoskeletal issues, skin diseases, digestive problems, and gynecological conditions through time-tested Ayurvedic formulations and therapies. I am especially passionate about preventive healthcare and believe in educating patients on seasonal routines (ritucharya), daily regimens (dinacharya), and holistic wellness practices. I emphasize open communication and empathetic consultation, ensuring that each patient feels heard, supported, and motivated throughout their healing journey. My clinical background, combined with continuous learning, has helped me maintain a high standard of care and build lasting trust with my patients. I believe true healing comes not only from treating symptoms but by restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit—the core philosophy of Ayurveda.

Hello Aman kumar

I can understand your concern and insecurities you must be facing due to your vitiligo which is on your upper lips and also about your low hair density. I can understand both this skin and hair related issues must be hampering your confidence. But dont worry we are here to help you out!!!

YOUR CONCERN You have one vitiligo patch on your upper lips which becomes red in sunlight. Your hair related concern - Receding hair line , low hair volume, low hair density.

Additional info needed to plan your treatment accordingly ( you can reply me about the questions on this answer i will further guide you or if necessary i can make changes in your treatment)

SInce when you are suffering with this problem ? Is the patch only on your upper lips , any other place if it is started? Is it increasing rapidly ? Have you any genetic history of vitiligo in your family ? Are you taking any allopathy medication or ointment?

Considering you have one patch and it is slowly progressing i will recommend following treatment combination

INTERNAL MEDICATION EXTERNAL TREATMENT DIET MODIFICATION

All the above three segment of treatment is very important i will suggest to stick to each one very rigorously to see significant changes.

I have treated many patients of vitiligo , this vitiligo take a great troll on their mental health and any skin disorder is very sensitive to smallest factor affecting your mental health. Vitiligo takes time to heal completely

Course of your healing journey After starting your treatment first progression of the patch will stop - size will remain constant and no new patches After this the size will start to shrink After this we will change treatment as to bring back your normal color of skin

So i will advise you to take a photo of your patch before starting your treatment.

DIET MODIFICATION

I am mentioning first diet modification because skin is reflection of your gut health, so any thing which will aggravate your condition should be strictly avoided.

What to take ?? Antioxidant rich foods like Berries, pomegranate, grapes , apples, broccoli, red cabbage , green tea , turmeric Take more of lentils , sunflower seeds , ,mushrooms , chickpeas, nuts in your diet Take nuts , dry fruits

What to avoid ?? Processed food , junk food - this increases inflammation in the body Sugar and refined carbs Gluten Alcohol and caffeine

INTERNAL MEDICATION Pigmento tab 2-0-2 (before breakfast and dinner ) Manjisthadi ks tab 2-0-2 (after breakfast and diner ) Groo 1-0-1 (after food ) (for hair density ) Markava rasayanam 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water .

Take the above medication for regular 2 months This will help your skin internally

EXTERNAL TREATMENT Markava taila - warm a oil little bit and apply on you lips after bath Pigmento ointment- apply the ointment on the lips at bed time

FOR HAIR ISSUES Nilibhringadi thaila - warm oil apply on head half hour before bath ‘’ Zuame hair powder- for hair wash

If you are going to office , keep a light coating of oil on the area Avoid being in sun for too long

BONUS TIPS Use board spectrum sunscreen Wear hats, cover your face before going out in sunlight. Try yoga, meditation, breathing exercises . Practice mindfulness and get adequate sleep Start journaling

HOPE YOU FOUND THIS HELPFUL!! WISH YOU A GOOD HAIR AND SKIN !! If any queries be free to message me.

Addressing your concerns about vitiligo and hair issues involves considering a few Ayurvedic principles that focus on balancing your body’s doshas and nourishing your dhatus or tissues.

Vitiligo, known as “Shwitra” in Ayurveda, is primarily linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, often exacerbated by stress and wrong dietary habits. To help manage this, cooling your system and reducing Pitta aggravation is crucial. Start by incorporating cooling foods such as cucumber, sweet fruits, and leafy greens into your diet, but avoid sour and spicy items as they can aggravate the condition. Exposure to sunlight should be moderate; try to limit it during peak hours.

Rubbing a neem leaf paste on the affected areas before washing it off after half an hour could help, as neem is known for balancing Pitta and has antiseptic properties. An external application of Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) oil mixed with coconut oil might provide some relief. Ensure to do a small patch test on a healthy skin area first to avoid any adverse reactions.

For hair concerns, it may be tied to Vata dosha imbalances and deficiencies in nutrients. Ensuring a diet rich in iron and protein, like sesame seeds, almonds, and pulses, can enhance those hair qualities. Regular head massage with oils like Bhringraj oil or Brahmi oil can improve circulation to the scalp and strengthen the roots. Try doing this twice a week.

Practicing yoga and meditation can help manage stress, which in turn may reduce hair fall and skin issues. Consider, exercises like forward bends and Pranayama to improve circulation and balance the body’s doshas.

Consistency with these practices is important. If there is no improvement or the conditions worsen, consulting with a healthcare provider is necessary to rule out other underlying conditions such as thyroid issues or nutritional deficiencies.

Vitiligo is loss of pigment melanin in patches of your skin. Melanin protects the skin from UV radiation. The redness is likely sunburn in those areas.

Use sunscreen (SPF 50+) everyday. You can wear hats, long sleeves etc. Sunglasses can help to protect the areas around eye.

For hair, Massage scalp area regularly with medicated oil You can wash off excess oil with mid shampoo.

Took Amla regularly. Triphala wash can be used weakly once. Aswagandha choornam 1 tsp with warm milk regularly to boost your body.

HELLO AMAN KUMAR,

1)VITILIGO ON UPPER LIPS (BECOMES RED IN SUNLIGHT) In ayurveda , vitiligo is often due to an imbalance in pitta and kapha doshas, and impaired digestion leading to accumulation of toxins in the skin

WHY IT TURNS RED IN SUNLIGHT -sensitive depigmentation skin lacks melanin and gets easily inflammed -UV rays can worsen inflammation- this is photosensitivity , common in vitiligo areas

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

2)HAIR LOSS, RECEDING HAIRLINE, LOW DENSITY this is commonly linked to pitta aggravation and stress

AYURVEDIC REMEDIES -HAIR OIL 1)NEELIBRINGADI TAILA- stimulates follicles 2)BRAHMI OIL- for stress induced hairloss 3)COCONUT OIL+CURRY LEAVES- promotes black, strong hair

massage 3 times a week, leave overnight if possible

3)AMALAKI RASAYNA- 1 tsp daily in morning= antioxidant rich for hair and skin

4)ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp daily with warm milk at night= reduces stress, support hair roots

DIET SUGGESTIONS -increase intake of sesame seeds, soaked almonds, amla, curry leaves, ghee, moong dal, leafy grreens

AVOID- fried foods, excess tea/coffee,spicy and processed food

LIFESTYLE- -adequate sleep is crucial -manage stress with pranayam(nadi sodhana, bhramari) and yoga gentle

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
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.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: 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. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.
