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 SKI ,

Your skin is producing excess oil, and that oil is getting trapped in your pores especially on your face, around the mouth, cheeks, chin, and even on the scalp. When this builds up, it leads to blockages, whiteheads, and then pigmentation. The back and thigh acne shows that Pitta (heat) and Kapha (oil) are both high, and your skin is struggling to stay clean and balanced. Your pores are open because your skin is trying to “breathe,” but that also invites more dirt in. Pigmentation means your skin is inflamed underneath. Stretch marks this early mean we should support your dhatu strength (tissues) and hydration from inside.

But don’t worry — this can be treated beautifully with a consistent, cooling and detoxifying routine.

Treatment Plan 1. Internal Ayurvedic Medicines

Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after meals Manjisthadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal warm water before food Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water Sarivadyasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner Shatavari Gulam – 1 tsp at night with warm milk (for stretch marks + hydration) 2. External Care (Face + Body)

Face wash: Green gram powder + a pinch of turmeric + rose water Scrub: Multani mitti + neem + sandalwood + lemon juice weekly 2 times Pigmentation paste: Kumkumadi taila + turmeric + licorice paste near mouth Body acne: Apply neem decoction or Triphala water on back and thighs 3x/week Stretch marks: Apply pure coconut oil + castor oil + a pinch of camphor every night

3. Diet and Lifestyle

Avoid oily, spicy, deep-fried foods, chocolates, bakery, and curd Drink 1 glass of warm jeera or coriander water daily Eat more of: moong dal, ash gourd, carrots, beetroot, boiled vegetables Avoid screen-time late at night — sleep by 10:30 PM Clean scalp with gentle herbal shampoo (reetha + amla-based)

Optional Investigations (if acne is severe)

Vitamin D, B12 Zinc level Fasting insulin Hormone profile (if periods are irregular or signs of PCOS) If you stay on this plan for 3–4 months, your pores will shrink, skin will clear, and pigmentation will reduce naturally. Skin healing is slow but consistent when you give your body the right tools.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, regards, DR.Karthika

HELLO SKI,

You’re experiencing -widespread whiteheads and clogged pores-face, chin, nose, head -open, enlarged pores filled with debris -pigmentation-especially around the mouth -back and thigh acne -stretch marks at 16 years old

DOSHA INVOLVEMENT

1) KAPHA DOSHA -heavy, oily, slow cold -excess kapha causes= oily skin, clogged pores, white heads(pus-filled pores), lymphatic stagnation(skin can’t detoxify)

2) PITTA DOSHA -hot, sharp, acidic -excess pitta causes= inflammation(red acne, pigmentation), skin sensitivity, tendency to scarring, hormonal breakouts

3) RAKTA DHATU DUSHTI(Impure blood) - acne, boils, pigmentation, and rashes are signs of impurities in blood

4) MEDA DHATU(fat tissue) -accumulation or weakness here can lead to stretch marks and poor skin elasticity

5) AGNI(digestive fire) IMBALANCE -poor digestion leads to ama(toxins) formation -> blocks skin channels(srotas)

LINE OF TREATMENT we will work on 5 level treatment

1) shodhana-internal cleansing 2) shamana- pacification with medications 3) ahara- correct diet 4) vihara- lifestyle 5) bahya chikitsa- external care

1) SHODHANA-DETOXIFICATION this is most important step for best results

a) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water at bedtime -detoxifies colon and improves skin -removes ama(toxins) and supports healthy digestion

b) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp half n hour before meals for 2 weeks =pacifies pitta and clears acidity that can manifest as facial pigmentation and acne

c) KAISHOR GUGGULU= 1 tab after meals, twice daily = cleanses blood, treats acne and pigmentation from the root - removes deep seated toxins in the skin and joints

d) MANJISTHA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after food =one of the best ayurvedic medicine for blood purification and pigmentation

2) SHAMANA= PACIFICATION DOSHAS WITH MEDICINES this step is for daily balancing of doshas after detox

a) NEEM CAPSULES- 1 cap afternoon after breakfast =clears acne, anti-inflammatory

b) ALOE VERA JUICE= 20 ml on empty stomach daily to balance pitta

c) GUDUCHI CAPSULES= 1 capsules twice daily =boosts immunity and detox

d) SPHATIK BHASMA= external application with water or rose water -excellent for whiteheads, use externally in face packs

DIET your skin is a reflection of your gut health. correcting food habits will correct 50% of your problem

FOODS TO AVOID -milk+fruits/ milk+ salty foods= blockage, toxin formation - cold drinks, cold water= slows digestion - oily/fried food= increases kapha, clogs pores -spicy, sour chutneys, tamarind= increases pitta, leads to pigmentation - maida, white bread, noodles= heavily mucus-forming

FOOD TO EAT -warm,home cooked meals= supports digestion - moong dal khichdi= detoxifying, light - cumin-coriander-fennel tea= improves digestion, flushes toxins - turmeric milk with cow milk= anti inflammatory - ghee In small amounts= improves digestion, heals tissues -fruits: papaya, pomegranate, amla= helps skin, rich in antioxidants

LIFESTYLE HABITS FOR HEALTHY SKIN skin is not just about what you apply but also how you live

-wake before 6am= avoids sluggishhness - avoid afternoon naps= prevents kapha accumulation -20-30 min brisk walk daily= stimulates lymph and detoxification - clean pillowcases and towel every 2-3 days= prevents bacterial infection - YOGA= sarvangasana, bhujangasana, uttanasana= improves flow to skin -sleep by 10 pm= repair skin naturally at night

EXTERNAL CARE DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE

MORNING -wash face with besan+ neem+turmeric powder -apply toner= rose water+ aloe vera + 2 drops of tea tree oil -use light non comedogenic moisturiser like aloevera gel +kumkumadi taila

EVENING -double cleanse if you wear sunscreen - apply face pack=3 times/day 1 tsp multani mitti + 1/2 tssp neem powder + 1 pinch turmeric+ rose water or cucumber juice

PIGMENTATION TREATMENT -apply kumkumadi taila at night, 3-4 drops only -weekly face pack= sandalwood+turmeric+milk

FOR BACK AND THIGH ACNE -neem bath= add neem leaves to boiling water, let cool and bathe with it apply= turmeric+ aloe vera + tea tree oil paste before bath

FOR STRETCH MARKS -daily massage= nalpamradi taila after bath, apply virgin coconut oil

Don’t expect overnight resutls= ayurvedic healing takes 4-12 weeks depending on severity Follow diet+lifestyle+medicines+ skin routine together Do a blood test if acne is severe= check vitamin D, b12, iron, hormonal profile

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

For stubborn skin concerns like yours, it’s essential to look into the root cause from an Ayurvedic perspective. Often, such issues can be linked to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Kapha and Pitta, which can cause toxicity in the blood (rakta dhatu) and improper digestion or Agni.

First, focus on your diet, as it plays a crucial role. Incorporate foods that balance Kapha and Pitta. Reduce intake of very oily, spicy, or heavy foods. Favor bitter, astringent, and pungent tastes - vegetables like bitter gourd, leafy greens, and spices like turmeric and cumin can be helpful. Hydration is also pivotal; herbal tea like neem, holy basil, and turmeric may help detoxify your system.

For skincare, consider a natural cleansing routine. Use a paste of sandalwood powder mixed with rose water for your face. It soothes inflammation and helps with pigmentation. Apply gently, leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse. A facial steam with neem leaves once a week can help unclog pores naturally.

Externally for acne on back and thighs, a paste made of triphala powder and water can be applied twice a week. Leave for 15 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water; triphala balances all three doshas and helps detoxify.

Addressing pigmentation, you might try the application of fresh aloe vera gel mixed with a pinch of turmeric on the affected areas before going to bed.

Lifestyle changes can significantly impact skin health. Incorporate regular physical activity like yoga or walking to boost circulation and aid in detoxification. Ensure adequate sleep and manage stress with simple pranayama exercises.

Consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner in person to delve more into personalized treatment, especially for stretch marks which may be linked to rapid growth changes at your age. Topical application of oils like almond oil or a paste of ashwagandha powder with milk might be suggested, but tailored recommendations would ensure better efficacy.

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. 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. Deepali Goswami
I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. 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.

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.

I am practicing Ayurveda since 3 years now, and tbh even though that number looks small on paper—it sure feels way more intense when you think of the daily exposure to different conditions, people, energies. I focus mainly on holistic wellness, with a strong bend toward balancing the body-mind equation. Sometimes ppl ask if I only give herbs but truthfully it’s more about understanding the why behind the illness... not just the what. My work usually involve personalized treatment planning, where I mix classical Ayurvedic concepts—like dosha analysis, ahara-vihara (diet & lifestyle), and detox via Panchakarma—based on how the person is living right now. That dynamic bit matters. One patient with acidity might need total food overhaul. Another? Just better sleep and breath practices. I learnt to not jump into “fixing” unless I’m hearing fully. The past 3 years taught me to observe subtle signs more deeply. Like the small fatigue before full-blown fatigue. I don’t claim big breakthroughs, but I’ve seen lives shift—chronic migraines fading, IBS calming down, periods regularising, skin healing slowly from inside-out. And that feels huge. Every day kinda grows me. Whether it’s a simple consultation, or longer therapies, I try to keep things real, rooted, and not rushed. And yes there’s still lot to explore. But I’m in this for the long run and I want ppl to know that healing doesn’t mean perfection—it just means balance, awareness, and the willingness to start.

Dr. Arun Desai
I am Dr. Arun Desai, working in Ayurveda for 19+ years now, both online and offline. My clinic, Ayur Sanjivani, is at #44 B 1, Opp Adarsh Laundry, beside Tej Residency, near Kavalemath Somwaar Peth Cross in Tilakwadi, Belgaum – bit of a long address but patients seem to find it just fine. Over time I’ve learned that people today want relief fast but still safe and lasting. That’s where I mix the depth of classical Ayurveda with practical tweaks to suit this fast moving lifestyle. I don’t like giving something that just masks a symptom – I want to get to the root cause whenever possible. At the clinic, I try to keep things warm and easy to talk, not a stiff doctor’s table vibe. Whether it’s diagnosis, a Panchakarma session, or simple counseling, I want patients to feel they can ask anything, even small doubts. Education matters too – when someone understands why a certain diet or lifestyle change is needed, they actually follow it better. Treatments may include herbal formulations, diet charts, yoga routines, exercise plans, detox, anti-stress work – all depending on their prakruti and condition. Over the years, I’ve treated people from many walks of life – each case different, which keeps me learning. Some come for joint pain, some for skin problems, others for lifestyle disorders like diabetes or high BP. I still follow authentic Ayurvedic principles but adapt them so they work in today’s reality. And yes, I’m always updating my knowledge, making sure the practice stays ethical and effective, because for me, Ayurveda isn’t just treatment – it’s a way to help someone rebuild their health from inside out.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with over 28 years of clinical experience dedicated to the principles and practice of authentic Ayurvedic medicine. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of treating more than 100,000 patients through both in-person consultations and online platforms. My approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic diagnostics—such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), Roga-Rogi Pariksha (patient and disease evaluation), and a personalized assessment of prakriti (body constitution). Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of health conditions across all age groups—from acute infections and digestive issues to chronic and lifestyle disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. I place strong emphasis on individualized care, combining herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox therapies, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to ensure long-term healing and disease prevention. My extensive experience also includes addressing complex, chronic illnesses that require a deep understanding of both the pathology and the patient’s overall constitution. I have worked with patients who had previously struggled with little success in other systems of medicine, and have guided many toward sustainable recovery and improved quality of life. Whether treating elderly patients with degenerative disorders or young adults facing hormonal or metabolic challenges, I strive to offer care that is compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-informed. My goal is to empower patients with Ayurvedic wisdom so they can take an active role in their healing journey. I continue to remain updated with the evolving landscape of integrative health and value the importance of patient education, ethical practice, and consistent follow-up. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession, but a lifelong commitment to restoring balance and promoting well-being, one patient at a time.
