Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
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 BALAJI, corns on the feet can be extremely painful, especially when they become thick or press on nerves. AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT FOR CORN 1) AGNI KARMA -indicated in chronic, painful corn -done by Ayurvedic practitioner using a heated metal rod to burn the corn and destroy the abnormal tissue -provides immediate relief from pain and long-term resolution -requires post-procedure wound care and follow up 2) TOPICAL REMEDIES *CHITRAKADI LEPA - these are alkali based herbal pastes applied directly on the corn to chemically destroy it. -applied for a few hours and washed off; repeated as needed *CASTOR OIL + TURMERIC PASTE -apply overnight to soften the corn and reduce inflammation *GARLIC PASTE -traditional remedy applied to corn to exfoliate and fight infection GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS 1) FOOT SOAK -warm water+ rock salt soak for 20 minutes daily to soften the corn -helps in reducing pain and inflammation 2) PUMICE STONE RUB -gently rub the softened corn(after soak) with a pumice stone to gradually reduce the thickness -do not overdo it- avoid bleeding or raw skin 3) FOOTWEAR CORRECTION -use soft , padded footwear and corn pads to reduce pressure - avoid tight shoes and high heels 4) PAIN RELIEF -nrigundi taila massage TO GET RID OF PAINFUL CORN 1) consult for agnikarma 2) use topical pastes 3) soak and gently file the corn daily 4) use protective footwear to prevent recurrence THANK YOU DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

You should consult physician for this ,by that time- Emergency Pain Relief 1. Soak Your Foot – 15–20 minutes Use warm water + 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt or rock salt Soak to soften the corn and reduce inflammation 2. Apply Corn-Soothing Paste (Home Remedy) After soaking and drying: Mix castor oil + turmeric into a paste and apply on the corn Cover with cotton and a clean bandage Do this 2–3 times a day Don't cut or peel the corn — it can cause infection and worsen pain. 3. Protect the Area While Walking Use a corn pad or donut cushion pad (available at any pharmacy) Wear soft, open footwear or sandals Avoid pressure on that area completely for 2–3 days if possible

Dr. Manjusha Vikrant Pate
With over 18 years of dedicated Ayurvedic practice, I have focused extensively on treating skin and hair disorders, integrating classical Panchakarma therapies with individualized care. A major aspect of my clinical approach involves Upakarma procedures—supportive therapies within Panchakarma—which I customize based on each patient’s Prakriti (constitutional type). I believe true healing begins when treatments are aligned with the body’s natural balance, and this philosophy guides every aspect of my work. My specialization includes the preparation and use of Ayurvedic formulations that I personally design, including face packs, hair packs, body oils, and facial oils—each one carefully selected and recommended according to the patient’s specific dosha and skin/hair condition. These formulations are result-oriented and rooted in time-tested Ayurvedic principles, ensuring safe, natural, and sustainable outcomes. In my practice, Ayurvedic facials are more than just cosmetic procedures; they are therapeutic treatments tailored to the unique constitution of each individual, aiming to restore inner and outer harmony. By incorporating dosha-based skincare routines and traditional beauty therapies, I help patients achieve visible improvement in conditions like pigmentation, acne, hair fall, and premature aging—without relying on chemical-based solutions. My goal is to blend classical Ayurveda with a practical, patient-focused approach. Whether managing chronic skin concerns, offering customized herbal solutions, or delivering rejuvenative Panchakarma therapies, I ensure each treatment is deeply personalized, holistic, and rooted in authentic Ayurvedic wisdom.

HELLO BALAJI, Corns are thickened, hardened layers of skin, usually due to friction or pressure.

With over five years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my practice to helping patients manage chronic health conditions, lifestyle disorders, and long-standing imbalances through a holistic lens. My treatment approach integrates the timeless principles of Ayurveda with modern clinical sensibilities. I focus on addressing the root cause of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms. Over the years, I have supported patients suffering from joint and musculoskeletal pain, chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, hormonal imbalances including PCOS and thyroid dysfunction, and neurological concerns like paralysis and post-stroke rehabilitation. Each case is treated with individualized Ayurvedic therapies that may include herbal medicine, Panchakarma detoxification, lifestyle restructuring, and personalized diet plans tailored to the patient's prakriti (body constitution) and vikriti (current imbalance). I provide both in-person and online consultations to make Ayurvedic care accessible and convenient for everyone. My goal in every interaction is to listen with empathy, guide with clarity, and offer treatments rooted in authenticity and clinical evidence. I firmly believe that true healing is a collaborative journey—where the patient and practitioner work in harmony to bring the body, mind, and spirit back into equilibrium.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing so much pain — foot corns can be quite uncomfortable, especially when they begin to interfere with walking and daily movement. For effective and long-term relief, I would recommend that you consult a nearby qualified Ayurvedic physician. In such cases, an Ayurvedic procedure known as Agnikarma Chikitsa (therapeutic heat application) is often suggested. It is a well-established treatment in Ayurveda for localized growths like corns, and when done by a trained expert, it can provide significant relief and help prevent recurrence. Please do not delay, as early intervention can ease your pain and speed up healing. Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery!

hello Balaji , A corn happens when the skin gets thickened due to pressure or friction usually from tight footwear or standing too long. In Ayurveda, we call this Padadari or Charmakeela, often related to Vata and Kapha imbalance. It leads to hard skin, dryness, and deep-seated pain. The aim is to soften the skin, reduce thickening, and clear the root layer slowly without surgery. Ayurvedic Treatment Plan (Continue for 3–6 weeks) 1. External Application (Daily Night) Apply warm castor oil or Karanja taila over the corn at night, cover with soft cotton After 5–10 minutes, apply Dashanga Lepa or Triphala churna paste (make paste with warm water or honey) Cover with cotton gauze and wear a loose sock 2. Foot Care Once Weekly Soak feet in warm water with rock salt and turmeric for 15 minutes Gently scrub corn with pumice stone — don’t force it Dry well and repeat oil + paste treatment 3. Internal Medicines Guggulu Tiktaka Ghritam – 1 tsp with warm water in morning Triphala Guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily after food 4. Avoid Tight or hard footwear Prolonged standing on hard floor barefoot Excess dry or sour food (they increase Vata and worsen corns) With this approach, the corn softens naturally and sheds off layer by layer. If it’s very old, it may take 4–6 weeks. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, regards, dr.Karthika

Corn on the foot can be painful indeed, impacting your daily activities. In Ayurveda, it's understood as an imbalance that can forcefully affect the skin tissue. Focusing on both external treatment and internal balancing can provide relief. Externally, applying a herbal paste can be helpful. Mix turmeric powder with coconut oil to make a thick paste and gently apply it to the affected area. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and coconut oil is both soothing and moisturizing. Do this before bedtime and cover it with a soft bandage to let it work overnight. Internally, try addressing any underlying dosha imbalances. Corns can often relate to Kapha imbalance, leading to excess thickness and growth. A Kapha-pacifying diet enhances the healing process. Consider warm, light meals, and avoid heavy, oily, and cold foods. Incorporate foods like green leafy vegetables, ginger, and turmeric in your diet. For pain relief, soaking your feet in warm water mixed with Epsom salt and a few drops of eucalyptus oil can provide soothing comfort. This should ideally be done twice daily for about 15 minutes, as it helps to soften the corn and reduce pressure. Maintaining good foot hygiene is also crucial. Wear comfortable shoes that do not apply excessive pressure on the corn. Tight shoes can worsen the condition, so ensure your footwear allows room for your toes to breathe and move. If corn persists or becomes significantly painful, it is essential to seek professional medical advice to explore options like surgical removal. While treating at home can be comforting, persistent symptoms need a health practitioner's evaluation to prevent further complications. And remember, consistent daily care is key in managing and reducing the corn effectively.
