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.

Circular patches with intense itching around private parts can be indicative of a fungal infection, often caused by imbalances in the body’s inner state, according to Ayurvedic principles. A recurrence suggests that the root cause has not been fully addressed. Here’s an effective approach rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom to help combat this persistently.

Firstly, maintaining a dry and clean environment is vital as moisture can worsen fungal growth. Regularly wash the affected area with cool water and gently pat it dry rather than rubbing. Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to aid ventilation.

Next, look into your diet, as it plays a crucial role in managing dosha imbalances. Reduce intake of sugar and processed food which can aggravate fungal conditions. Instead, opt for a diet balancing Vata and Kapha, including more fresh vegetables and whole grains. Use turmeric, both externally and internally, for its antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. A paste of turmeric mixed with a little neem oil can be applied topically for relief.

Digestive health is fundamental, so ensure your Agni or digestive fire is strong. Try warming spices like ginger and cumin in your meals, and sip on warm water throughout the day. Consuming Triphala powder at bedtime, mixed in lukewarm water, can help detoxify and balance the doshas.

Consistency in lifestyle also matters. Regular sleep, reduced stress and regular movement like walking or yoga can support your body’s natural healing processes. Pranayama and meditation can help reduce stress which, when unmanaged, could contribute to recurring infections.

Finally, in recurrent cases, it’s essential to have guidance from a practitioner to assess and manage your Doshas specifically. Each person is unique, so if symptoms don’t improve, consider seeing an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized consultation. While Ayurveda provides holistic approaches, always be cautious and prompt in seeking professional medical advice for persistent or worsening symptoms.

Hello, Maintaining hygeine is the key for the cure. 1. Wash the private parts with neem decoction/triphala decoction followed by drying the part well after each use. Once you feel fine switch to warm water wash followed by drying well. 2. Apply mahathikthakam lepam once you dry. 3. Mahanajishtasdi kashayam 20ml----0----20ml with 80ml of boiled warm water. 4. Nimba twak ghanavati 2—0—2 after food. For 90 days. Take care. Kind regards.

HELLO RAHUL,

You’re dealing with a recurring fungal infections, most likely tines curries(also called ringworm or jock itch) which causes -round or circular patches on your skin, especially around your private parts-inner thighs, groin area -severe itching, redness, and sometimes peeling or darkening of the skin -it may go away for a while but keeps coming back again and again

WHY IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN? Fungal infections are caused by microscopic fungi(not bacteria), which thrive in warm, moist, sweaty areas- like the groin, underarms, or feet

In your case, this keeps coming back because 1)INCOMPLETE TREATMENT- the fungus may seems gone on the outside , but small spores stay inside the skin

2)SWEAT AND HUMIDITY- tight clothes or not drying the skin well can make it worse

3)USING STEROID CREAMS- these only hide the symptoms temporarily but allow fungus to grow deeper and stronger

4)WEAKENED IMMUNITY- due o fatty liver, stress, or poor digestion, your body isn’t fully fighting the infection

5)RE-INFECTION- using the same clothes towels, or bed sheets without hot water washing can bring t back.

Ayurveda says this condition is called Dadru, cause by an imbalance of the pitta (heat) and kapha(moisture/slime) doshas in your body. -your skin and blood get contaminated with toxins due to poor digestion, heat and dampness -this creates a perfect ground for fungus to grow and spread -steroid creams suppress the surface issues, but the root cause inside your body stays untreated- that’s why it keeps returning

INSTEAD OF JUST KILLING THE FUNGUS TEMPORARILY, AYURVEDA FOCUSES ON 3 THINGS 1)clean the blood and skin from inside- using herbal medicines and proper digestion

2)strengthen your immunity and liver- so that fungus doesn’t return

3)keep the skin dry and clean from outside- using natural anti fungal oils and powders

INTERNALLY START WITH DURATION- 6 to 12 weeks

1)GANDHAK RASAYANA- 2 tabs after meals morning and evening =potent anti- fungal, detoxifier

2)KAISHOR GUGGULU- 2 tabs after meals =blood purifier, balances pitta

3)AROGYAVARDHINI VATI- 2 tabs after meals =liver detox, supports fatty liver

4)TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =gut cleanser, improves immunity

5)AVIPATIKAR CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm water at night =acid balance, reduces pitta

6)PANCHATIKTA GRITA GUGGUU- 2 tabs twice daily =treats deep-seated skin conditions

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1)NEEM OIL+ COCONUT OIL(1:1)= apply over clean dry skin twice daily =anti fungal, cooling

2)JATYADI TAILA- apply before bed night only =repairs skin, reduces inflammation

3)TRIPHALA DECOCTION WASH- use as cleansing liquid- once/twic a day =anti bacterial skin toning

4)LODHRA+NEEM+HAIRDRA POWDER - make a paste with rose water for 30 mins once daily =reduces itching and infection

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS

AVOID -sugar, jaggery, sweets -fermented foods-idli, dosa,vinegar -dairy- especially curd , panner -fried oily food -meat, especially red meat -aclohol and carbonated drinks

IINCLUDE -bitter veggies- neem leaves, karela, methi etc -spices= turmeric , cumin, coriander, fennel -warm wtaer infused with turmeric or tripahala -fresh fruits- pomegranate, apply, papaya -herbaleteas= guduchi, manjistha, neem

DAILY PRCTICES -bathe with tripahala or neem water-boiled and cooled -keep groin area dry and clean -wear loose fitting cotton underwear -change clothes twice a day -sleep before 10 pm -practice pranayam- esp sheetali, anulom vilim -engae in light exercise or walking

AVOID -sharing towels, bedsheets, or cloths -sitting in sweaty clothes -excessive screen time late -increases pitta -mentral stresss(tiggers recurrence via immunity supresion)

timeline to healing

week 1-2= detox week 3-6 = skin healing, immune strengthening week 6-12 = maintenance and recurrence prevention

try medicated neem-based soaps- nimbadi soap, himalaya neem soap

THANK YOU

My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

NAMASTE RAHUL JI,

Recurrent fungal infections, especially in warm and moist areas like groin can be persistent and frustrating. It’s common for people to use anti fungal creams and steroids which might give temporary relief but often lead to recurrence if not used correctly.

Recurrent fungal infections like this are often classified as -DADRU- in ayurveda= a type of kushta (skin disorder), characterised by red, circular, itchy patches.

It’s primarily caused by an imbalance of pitta and kapha doshas along with impurities in the blood(rakta dushti)

ROOT CASUES -excessive consumption of curd, fermented foods, sweets, non veg, or alcohol -poor hygiene or excess sweating -steroid use, which suppresses the symptom but worsens the root -weak digestion, leading to toxin buildup -impaired liver function

ENSURE THAT YOU ARE NO DEALING WITH -fungal resistance-common with over use of creams -poorly managed blood sugar -fungal infection spreading via clothes/towels -incorrect application of steroids-which can worsen fungal infection.

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) PANCHATIKTA GHRITA GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals =powerful. skin purifier, acts on chronic skin infections

2) SARIVADYASAVA- 15ml twice daily after meals with equal water =blood purifier, liver supportive, reduces itching and inflammation

3) HARIDRA KHANDA- 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk =excellent for skin disease, itching, urticaria

4) CHANDANASAVA- 15 ml with equal water twice daily =cooling, anti inflammatory, useful in itching worsens with sweating or heat

TOPICAL APPLICATIONS

1) NALPAMARADI TAILA -apply on clean , dry skin 2 times daily =heals skin lesions, prevent secondary infections, anti fungal properties

2) SUDARSHAN CHURNA PASTE -mix with rose water or neem decoction and apply as a paste for 20-30 min daily =antimicrobial, clears infection faster

HOME REMEDIES

1) BATHE WITH NEEM LEAF DECCOTION -boilneem leaves in water

2) Mix equal part of neem powder + turmeric powder and talcum= in groin area

3) SLEEP HYGIENE= changes bed sheets weekly use breathable cotton fabric

4) Sun dry under garments and clothes

AVOID -milk+ fish, curd, sweets, and bakery foods -heavy, fried foods, or foods that aggravate liver conditions -bathing in cold water if sweating

TREATMENT DURATION -expect visible relief in 2-4 weeks but continue at least 2-3 months for full eradication -liver cleansing and blood purification is essential for permanent cure.

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. Sara Garg
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. 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.

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.

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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. Arpita Bhaskar
I am an Ayurvedia practioner who’s kinda always drawn to healing things the natural way... herbs, lifestyle shifts, that deeper root-cause thing—ya that’s where I feel connected. I’ve done my graduation in BAMS from Government Ayurveda College, Jabalpur, MP. Those years were tough and full of grind but it gave me this solid, like really solid, foundation in classical Ayurvedic sciences. And yeah, not just bookish... real world side of it too. Now my focus honestly is to keep learning while helping real people—who come in with digestion problems or hormonal mess or mental stress or even chronic fatigue they can’t explain. Every case is diff, even if symptoms look same outside. That part makes me stop and look closer—what is vitiated? What system is overworking or under? My mind instantly shifts into that mode, trying to trace the imbalance and realign it without suppressin anything. Right now I’m still early in the field, but every patient, every prakriti I see adds a layer to how I understand dis-ease. I don’t rush, mostly just try to listen first... ppl are usually surprised when you sit n listen without cutting them off mid sentence. I don’t claim to fix everything but I do keep that long-term goal in mind—healing that lasts beyond just medicine course. My interest stays rooted in ahar, vihar, and herbal chikitsa. Working with traditional herbs in customized way, not some one-size-fits-all type. I feel Ayurveda demands patience, and yeah, I’m okay with that. Cuz body speaks when we slow down. And that’s what I try to bring in my work—space to slow down, observe, correct gently. Of course I mess up sometimes or miss smth small.. but I reflect and adjust. It’s all part of the practice. I wanna grow steady, keep that fire for real healing alive. This path’s not loud, but it’s deep. And I’m here for it.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

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. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.
