Fungal infection on head area , - #24433

Rajesh

I have been suffering from a fungal skin infection for the past one year. Initially, I took allopathic treatment for 3–4 months, which gave temporary relief. However, as soon as I stopped the medicines, the infection and itching—especially on the scalp—returned. Since the last 2 months, I’ve been taking Ayurvedic treatment from a local practitioner (Dadu), including medicines like Saptamrit Lauh, Panchnimb Churna, Manjistha Churna, Amalaki Rasayan, and Arogyavardhini Vati & nili bhrinhraj oil, but have not seen satisfactory improvements. How much time it takes to see result.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. 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.

HELLO RAJESH,

LIKELY DIAGNOSIS -TINEA CAPITIS(scalp ringworm)- a fungal infection of the scalp caused by dermatophytes SYMPTOMS- itching, flaking, patchy hairless, inflamed scalp, or black dots -often recurs when internal fungal load is high or treatment is incomplete.

START INTERNALLY WITH

1) NIMBADI GUGGULU - 2 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months = liver detox, support skin healing

2) GUDUCHI SATVA - 3 gm with warm water twice daily =antifungal, antibacterial, blood purifier, antifungal, immunomodulatory

3) KHADIRARISHTA- 20 ml with lukewarm water twice daily =rakta sodrana, anti inflammatory, blood purifier

4) SARIVADI VATI- 2 tab twice daily for 3 months =strengthen hair roots, improves vision and skin

5) AMALAKI RASAYANA- 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily =rejuvination, antioxidant, improves immunity

6) DURVADI TAILA - massage on scalp leave overnight 3 times/week =reduces hair fall, strengthen follicles, antifungal effect

OPTIONAL CAN GO FOR PANCHAKARMA -raktamokshana -virechana -takradhara

DIET -light, digestible food= moong dal, red rice, barley -bitter vegetables -fresh fruits= amla, pomegranate, guava -herbal teas= neem, turmeric, ginger -ghee in moderation- supports rasayana herbs

AVOID -curd, panner, cheese -excess oil, fried food -sugars,jaggery-promotes fungal Growths -fermented food- dosa idli, pickles -non veg during active infection -avoid milk and salty foods together

maintain good digestion- no overeating, no stale food

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA RECOOMENDATIONS

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up before sunrise -self massage with neem or coconut oil -use antifungal shampoo twice a week -wash clothes, towel, and pillow covers in hot water

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -kapalbhati- detoxifies, strengthens immunity -anulm vilom= balances doshas -shirsasana= promotes hair health - uttanasana, adhomukha svasanasana= increase scalp blood flow

AVOID STRESS, as it worsens fungal and autoimmune scalp issues . meditation helps reduce cortisol improving healing

thank you

HELLO RAJESH,

Tinea capitis îs a fungal infection of the scalp, caused by dermatophytes like Trichophyton or Microsporum species, symptoms include -itching -scaly patches -hairfall/bald spots -dandruff- like flaking or oozing -dead skin

It often recurs if- -fungi survive pillows, combs, towels -oiling is done while infection is active -immunity or gut flora is weak

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING scalp fungi infections are kaphaja- kasha with involvement if pitta and rakta, and bahudosha dushti. It is a type of dadru or even charmakeela when associated with hairfall

DOSHAS INVOLVED KAPHA- moisture, fungus thrives in it. PITTA- inflammation, redness, burning, itching RAKTA DUSHTI - blood impurity-chronicity MANDAGNI/ AMA- weak digestion, toxin accumulation

TREATMENT GOAL -eradicate fungal growth -detoxify blood and skin -strengthen immunity and gut -repair scalp and hair follices -prevent recurrence -cleanse channels, improve digestion/metabolism, and nourish tissue for permanent relief.

Many ayurvedic medicines like Arogyavardhini vati, Panchnimb churnna, Manjistha, amalaki rasayana did not respond well, we need a stronger, deeper, and perhaps more integrative approach using more potent formulations, while also shifting the focus from just skin purification to systemic detox, gut healing and immune modulation.

1) SARIVADYASAVA- 20 ml twice daily with equal water after meals duration= 3 months =works powerfully in kapha pitta blood disorders, skin allergies and auto immune pattern skin diseases. it helps with detoxification and pacifies chronic inflammation

2)MAHA MANNJISTHADI KASHAYA- 15 ml + equal water twice daily before meals DURATION= 2-3 months =much stronger than plain manjishta churna. it acts on raktavaha srotas, helps cleanse deep inflammatory toxins and support skin rejuvination.

3)HARIDRA KHANDAM- 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime DURATION= 1-2 months =strong immunomodulatory and blood purifier. contains turmeric, which is anti fungal ,but combined with sugar, ghee, and pippali for better digestion and systemic absorption

4)SHUDDHA TUVARAKA CAPSULE- 1 cap once daily in morning =classical internal use for kushta . tuvaraka is extremely anti fungal used in leprosy and chronic infections DURATION- 15 days

AUSHADI PROCESSED AYURVEDIC PROBIOTICS AND GUT REPAIR

research supports the idea that fungal infections worsens with gut dysbiosis

-KUTAJARISHTA- 20 ml + equal water twice daily =for loose stools or gut inflammation

-TAKRA SIDDHA HAIRTAKI- 1 tsp hairtaki mixed with medicated buttermilk daily

-PANCHAMRUT PARPATI- 1 tab once daily This systemic approach repairs digestive fire, improves gut flora , reduces systemic inflammation that supports fungal growth

ONCE INFECTION IS ACTIVELY REDUCED, START TAKING -CHYAWANPRASHA(sugar free)- 1 tsp daily in morning for rebuilding skin tissue and hair

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1)TUVARAKA TAILA(CHAULMOOGRA OIL) -mix with equal coconut oil, apply 1 hour before bath on patches =very strong anti fungal and keratolytic. traditionally used in kushta and resistant skin conditions

2)KARANJADI TAILA -used specifically for dadru, itching, and fungal like skin conditions apply 3 times/week

3)ELADI KERAM/ DHURDHURAPATRADI TAILA -used for itching+scaling+discoloration

LOCAL APPLICATION- neem powder+aloe vera gel= apply twice/week =reduces itching, kills fungus

Triphala+bakuchi paste= strong anti fungal-patch test first

ALOE VERA juice daily 15ml internal cooling, improves gut and skin =mild detox and skin healing

DIET PLAN -bitter vegetables- neem, Karel, methi -bottle gourd, ridge gourd, ash gourd -warm water with turmeric daily -moong dal , khichdi, green leafy veggies- -old rice, barley, millet -cows ghee in small quantity

AVOID -dairy+salt together -curd, cheese, panner -deep fired and junk food -excess sugar, sweets -non veg -cold stale and fermented food -heavy late night meals -wheat based junks- cookies, bread with preservatives

LIFESTYLE DO’S -bathe with neem leaf water once or twice weekly -change pillow cases and towels daily -wash clothes and bedding in hot water with detail or antispetic -get 15 mins sunlight on scalp daily -practice deep breathing and light exercise to reduce stress -maintain a regular sleep cycle(10pm-6am)

AVOID -oiling when scalp is infected sleeping with wet/oily hair -sharing combs, hats, towels -stying in damp environment -wearing tight caps or synthetic head coverings for long hours

TIMELINE FOR RECOVERY

1-2 WEEK= reduced itching, mild drying of lesion

4-6 WEEK= noticeable reduction In scaling and hairfall

8-12 WEEK= reappearance of healthy scalp skin, less recurrance

3-6 WEEK = stable remission, improved immunity, new hair growth

Chronic cases often take time. the fungus is deep rooted and recurs immunity and hygiene are addressed

Avoid all corticosteroid and anti fungal creams with steroids- they give temporary relief but worsen long term

continue treatment for at least 6 months even if symptoms reduce in 1-2 months

BE CONSISTENT

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

The persistence of a fungal infection, especially on the scalp, can indeed be frustrating. From an Ayurvedic perspective, fungal infections are often linked to an imbalance of the pitta and kapha doshas, and sometimes, poor digestion and accumulation of toxins (ama) can contribute to the problem. Each individual response to Ayurvedic treatments can vary significantly, depending on your unique prakriti, and imbalances.

The herbal remedies you’re using - Saptamrit Lauh, Panchnimb, Manjistha, Amalaki, and Arogyavardhini Vati - are typically well-suited for addressing skin conditions and purifying blood. However, seeing tangible results may take more time. Ayurveda works gradually by addressing the root cause rather than just symptoms, and this healing process could take from several weeks to months. It’s essential to consistently use these medications and closely follow your practitioner’s dosing instructions.

Ensure that your diet aids in maintaining a balance of pitta. Avoid spicy, oily foods and sour products, and try to incorporate cooling foods such as cucumber, melon, and coconut water. Turmeric and neem (Azadirachta indica) are known for their strong antifungal and detoxifying properties, consider discussing their incorporation into your diet with your practitioner.

Good hygiene practices are crucial too. Wash your hair and scalp regularly with mild, natural shampoos. Keep your scalp dry and clean to prevent fungal growth, and avoid sharing personal items like brushes or caps. Sometimes, a specific compress of neem leaf paste applied to the scalp might help manage symptoms more effectively.

Ensure a strong digestive fire (agni) by eating ginger or taking trikatu churna (a herbal blend) to enhance digestion, which can help in flushing out toxins. Eliminating ama could be crucial here; so a gentle detox under professional guidance might be beneficial.

Should symptoms persist or worsen, consulting your practitioner again – or even seeking a second opinion – might provide further tailored insights. If you ever feel the condition is deteriorating, don’t hesitate to seek immediate medical attention, as prompt care is always crucial when necessary.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

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.

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. 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.

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.
