HELLO OSHEA,

The symptoms you’ve described- acne, severe hairfall, and ovarian cysts- are often associated with an imbalance in hormones, primarily linked to kapha and vata dosha imbalances and possibly suggestive of conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome.

1) OVARIAN CYSTS In ayurveda , ovarian cysts are seen as a manifestation of -Kapha accumulation- thick, sticky qualities leading to cyst formation -Vata imbalance- irregular cycles, disrupted flow -Rasa and Artava dhatu dushti- disturbance in reproductive tissues -improper digestive fire, leading to toxins accumulation

SYMPTOMS -irregular periods or scanty flow -weight gain or difficulty losing weight -hormonal acne -hair thing or male pattern hair growth

2)ACNE-MUKHADUSHIKA Caused by- aggravated pitta-> causes heat, inflammation, red/pustular acne -kapha involvement->oily skin, pus filled pimples -poor digestion->formation of toxins that block channels of the skin.

3)HAIRFALL-KHALITYA Attributed to- Pitta aggravation in scalp->burns hair roots -vata drying up nourishment to hair follicles -rakta dhatu dushti(impure blood)+ stress/hormonal issues

TREATMENT GOAL IS -Balance doshas- primarily kapha, vata and excess pitta -Dissolve ovarian cyst -regulate hormones and menstrual cycle -purify blood and skin -strengthen hair root and prevent hairfall -correct digestion and eliminate toxins -support long term reproductive and skin health

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

FOR OVARIAN CYST/PCOS

1)KANCHANAR GUGGULU- (baidyanath/dootpapeshwar brand)= 2 tabs twice a day after food for 3 months =reduces cysts, dissolves growths, detoxifies lymph

2)ASHOKARISHTA(dabur/sandu/baidyanath)= 2 tbsp + equal water after meals twice daily for 3 months =balances hormones, regulates menses

3)CHANDRAPRABHA VATI(baidyanth brand)= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =corrects hormonal, urinary, reproductive imbalance

FOR ACNE

1)AROGYAVARDHINI VATI(dootpapeshwar/baidyanth)- 1 tab twice daily after food for 6-8 weeks =liver detox , clears skin, reduces pimple

2)GANDHAK RASAYANA- (dootpapeshwar)= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 6-8 weeks =antibacterial, purifies blood, heals acne

3)MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA- (arya Vaidya sala/AVN)- 20 ml+ equal water twice daily before meals for 2-3 months =blood purifier, clear pigmentation

FOR HAIRFALL

1)BHRINGARAJ CAPSULES- (himalaya/organic india)= 1 cap twice daily after food for 3 months =improves hair growth, strengthen roots

2)TRIPHALA CHURNA- (zandu/dabur)= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 2-3 months =digestive aid, detoxifier, improves absorption

3)AMALAKI RASAYANA- (baidyanth)= 1 tsp twice daily with warm water for 3 months =rich in vitamin c, rejuvenates hair, and skin

*FOR EXTERNAL APPLICATION FOR ACNE -Kumkumdadi taila(kottakal/kama ayurveda)= at night 2-3 drops on face =reduces acne, scars, pigmentation

HAIR- neelibringadi taila(kottakal)= apply 2-3 times/week, leave overnight =strengthens follicles, stop hair fall

FACE WASH- neem tulsi face wash(himalaya/patanjali)= twice daily =reduces oil, acne bacteria

DIET PLAN -warm , fresh, light meals -cooked vegetables- bottle gourd, ridge gourd, spinach, pumpkin -green gram- easily digestible protein -barley and millets-low glycemic -flax seeds, sesame seeds- for hormonal balance -Amla, aloe vera juice- daily in morning

AVOID -deep-fired , stale, packaged food -cold beverages, ice creams -heavy dairy like cheese, panner in excess -excess wheat and sugar -red meat -curd at night

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up before 6:30 AM -drink lukewarm water with lemon+honey or triphala water -exercise or yoga for 30 mins -bathe with neem water for acne-prone skin

ASANAS- 5times/week -bhujangasana- cobra pose -setu bandhasana- bridge pose -ustrasana- camel pose -suryanamaskar- 5-8 rounds -nadi sodhana and bhramari pranayam= daily 10 mins

WALK 6000-10000 STEPS DAILY

SLEEP HYGIENE -sleep by 10 pm -avoid screen time post 9 pm -oil massage to scalp once/twice a week before sleep to get deep relaxing sleep

SOME INVESTIGATIONS RECOMMENDED LH/FSH= hormonal balance, pcos screening SERUM TESTOSTERONE= check for androgen excess AMH= assess ovarian reserve FASTING INSULIN+BLOOD GLUCOSE= detect insulin resistance THYROID PROFILE(TSH,T3,T4)= rule out thyroid issues PELVIC ULTRASOUND= track cyst progression

EXPECTED TIMELINE FOR RESULTS

ACNE= initial reduction in 2-3 weeks HAIRFALL= noticeable reduction in 4-6 weeks OVARIAN CYSTS= visible shrinkage in 2-3 months HORMONAL BALANCE= 3-6 months with consistent treatment

DO FOLLOW CONISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Based on the symptoms you’ve described—acne, hair fall, and ovarian cysts—it suggests an imbalance primarily in the Pitta and Kapha doshas. In Ayurveda, these can manifest due to improper dietary habits, stress, or lifestyle factors, affecting your hormones and metabolism.

For the acne and hair fall: including more cooling and Pitta-pacifying foods should be beneficial. Focus on eating fresh vegetables, especially greens like spinach and bitter gourd. Avoid spicy, oily, and heavily processed or junk foods as they aggravate Pitta. Incorporate cooling herbs like aloe vera—applying fresh aloe gel to your face might help calm the skin. In addition, bhringraj or amla powder can be consumed to strengthen hair and prevent further fall; aim for one teaspoon daily in warm water.

Managing stress through practices like yoga and meditation can also help, lowering cortisol levels that may otherwise contribute to acne and hair fall. Abhyanga, or daily oil massage using coconut or sesame oil, is also known for nourishing the hair roots and improving blood circulation, thus reducing hair fall.

Regarding the ovarian cysts, Ayurvedic herbs such as ashwagandha and shatavari can be supportive. Three to four grams of shatavari powder in warm milk taken before sleep may also support hormonal balance. Triphala powder, taken nightly with a glass of warm water, aids in proper digestion and detoxification, indirectly helping manage cysts.

Always maintaining a regular sleep cycle is crucial; anomalies here can further disturb hormonal balance.

Moderate exercise daily will help improve circulation and balance your metabolism; aim for 30 minutes of a brisk walk or yoga. It’s important to note that while Ayurveda offers supportive care, always keep in touch with your physician for monitoring the cysts. In case they’re causing pain or other symptoms, they should evaluate if surgical treatment is required.

Consulting with an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized guidance is recommended to ensure you’re addressing your unique constitution and conditions effectively.

HELLO OSHEA,

Based on your symptoms- acne, severe hair fall, and ovarian cysts- it’s possible you may be dealing with a hormonal imbalance , such as PCOS. This is quite common and manageable with the right approach.

SYMPTOMS -acne and hairfall - often due to increased androgens(male hormones) -ovarian cysts- small, fluid filled sacs in the ovaries, often related PCOS -cyst size- 1.9 cm(generally considered small).

In Ayurveda, your symptoms relate to kapha- vata imbalance and possible rasa dhatu and shukra dhatu dushti(disorder of reproductive tissues and metabolism).ovarian cysts are often described as granthi or artavakshaya conditions

HERBAL MEDICATIONS these help regulate hormones, cleanse the body, and reduce cysts

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after food =reduces cysts and tumors

2) ASHOKARISHTA- 2 tsp with water twice daily after meals = balance female hormones

3) TRIPHALA- 1 tsp at night with warm water = detox and digestion

4) SHATAVARI- 1 tsp powder with milk in morning =tones reproductive system

5) ALOE VERA JUICE= 2 tbsp empty stomach daily = hormonal balance

DIET RECOMENDATIONS

INCLUDE- warm, light, fresh foods, green leafy vegetables, fruits pomegranate, apple

SPICES- turmeric, cinnamon , ginger, cumin

AVOID- dairy(excess), deep fried food, sweets, red meat, soy, processed foods

LIFESTYLE YOGA AND PRANAYAM- especially surya namaskar, baddha konasana , ustrasana, and kapalbhati- 15mins daily -30-45 mins brisk walk daily -sleep before 10 pm , avoid screen time at night -stress management- meditation and grounding practices

IF ACCESSIBLE GO FOR PANCHAKARMA -VIRECHANA- to detox the liver and regulate hormones -BASTI- especially Niruha and anuvasana basti for pcos/pcod -UDWARTANA- dry powder massage for kapha balance and weight reduction

-Monitor your menstrual cycle and repeat ultrasound after 2-3 months of consistent treatment -if cysts increase in size or cause pain kindly go for further management

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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. 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. 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. 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. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

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. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Nancy Malani
I am still early in my journey as an Ayurveda doctor, just completed my one year of rotatory internship and now practicing since about 3 months. Honestly it feels both exciting and heavy sometimes, because you want to do your best but also realize how much more there is to learn. During internship I got exposure to different departments, inpatient and OPD, hands-on with case history taking, basic Panchakarma observation, and seeing how diagnosis by dosh imbalance actually plays out in real life and not just in books. Right now along with my clinical practice, I also work as an Ayurveda consultant (remote) with Caremeez. That role is interesting in its own way — you don’t have the direct physical presence with patient, but still you guide them through symptoms, food patterns, stress issues, minor illnesses, and help them adapt Ayurvedic lifestyle solutions. Sometimes the limitation of not being able to touch pulse or do physical exam makes it tricky, but you also learn how much can be understood just by listening carefully and asking the right questions. In practice I try to keep things simple, clear and practical. No unnecessary complication for the patient. Even if it’s diet advice, I avoid long lists and instead focus on what they can actually follow. For medicines too, I stick to what is relevant, safe and time tested. I know I’m at the beginning stage, still shaping my way of treatment, sometimes correcting myself, sometimes second guessing. But I see value in that too — it makes me cautious, makes me double check before prescribing. My goal is to slowly build a practice that is balanced, where Ayurveda is not just seen as herbal medicine but as a full approach involving diet, daily routine, stress balance, detox when needed. Even in these 3 months of practice, I already see small changes in patients when they follow consistently. That’s what keeps me moving, even on days when I feel unsure or stuck.

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. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: 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.
