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

THANK YOU

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

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.

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.

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.

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. 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. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

Dr. Eesha
I am an Ayurvedic physcian who trained pretty hands-on at both District Hospital and Patanjali Ayurved Hospital, each for around six months. Honestly, those two internships kinda reshaped the way I look at real-life Ayurvedic care. I didn’t just sit back—I got involved in actual OPD and IPD work, taking patient histories, discussing treatment plans, doing diagnosis the Ayurvedic way, you knw, the real ground-level stuff. At the District Hospital, things were more intense than I expected. You see patients come in with fevers, digestion issues, menstrual troubles, breathing problems—all kinds. And you don’t get to just watch, you do the thinking part too—how to connect doshas to symptoms, how to tweak pathya-apathya in their daily habits. Working closely with the seniors there helped me see how Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs—it’s the whole lens through which we view health and imbalances. Then at Patanjali, I got to dive deeper into therapies, like actually do them, not just study. Stuff like Basti, Shirodhara, Abhyanga—they’re more nuanced than they seem in textbooks. You have to think about prakriti, vikriti, kala, even season—every little thing changes the line of treatment. And prepping the medicines ourselves? That was surprisingly grounding. Made me respect the formulations a lot more than I did before. All that said, these experiences really pushed me to focus more on root-cause healing, not symptom chasing. I feel way more confident now when counseling people—especially those dealing with chronic lifestyle stuff. I try and simplify things for them, but without losing the Ayurvedic depth. I just want people to feel like their care is personal and not, you know, cookie-cutter. Ayurveda’s not one-size-fits-all. And neither is my approach.

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.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.
