HELLO PARTH,

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.

Based on your detailed description — which includes pimples and acne over the face, neck, shoulders (front & back), oily T-zone, scars, black marks, patchy beard, and hair fall — it’s clear that the imbalance is not just superficial. Ayurveda sees such conditions as a manifestation of deeper doshic imbalances, particularly involving Pitta and Kapha, along with Rakta (blood) and Meda (fat tissue) dushti.

This Might Be Happening (According to Ayurveda) Pitta Imbalance: Pitta governs heat, metabolism, and inflammatory processes. Its aggravation (due to spicy food, stress, or poor sleep) often leads to acne, redness, and scars. Kapha Accumulation: Excess Kapha contributes to oiliness, clogged pores, and slow healing, especially in the T-zone and upper back. Rakta Dushti (Impure Blood): Leads to chronic skin breakouts, pigmentation, and scarring. Weak Digestion & Toxin Build-Up (Ama): Poor gut health can cause internal toxins, which reflect through the skin and hair — worsening acne, marks, and hair loss. Asthi & Majja Dhatu Imbalance: Patchy beard and hair thinning often arise from imbalance in deeper tissues — bone (Asthi) and nervous (Majja) — both nourished by a strong digestive system.

External Treatments: 1. Herbal Ubtan (for Acne, Pigmentation & Oil Control)

Ingredients: Manjishtha + Daruharidra + Lodhra

Mix with fresh Aloe vera (juice) to form a smooth paste

Apply on face, neck, and shoulders 2–3x/week

Leave for 15–20 mins (don’t over-dry), then wash with lukewarm water 2. Post-Ubtan Application (for Scars & Marks)

Use Shatadhouta Ghrita (100x washed ghee) or Kumkumadi Taila

Apply lightly over scars and dark spots daily at night Internal Support (To be taken under Ayurvedic supervision) 1. Herbal Decoction – 40 ml twice daily Prepare using Bhringraj, Bibhitaki, Amalaki, Shikakai, Ashwagandha, manjishtha 2. Neem Vati – 2 tablets twice daily 3. Avipatikar Churna – 3 gm at bedtime with lukewarm water

Pathya (Diet) Recommendations ✅ Favour:

Warm, home-cooked food with ghee

Green leafy vegetables (esp. bitter), moong dal, barley

Amla (Indian gooseberry), turmeric, fennel, coriander

Herbal teas (jeera, tulsi, or neem)

❌ Avoid:

Spicy, fermented, fried, or oily foods

Cold drinks, curd, cheese, or packaged snacks

Incompatible food combinations (milk + salt, fruits + dairy, etc.)

Late-night meals, irregular eating, and screen exposure at night

Lifestyle Tips Practice Pranayama (especially Anulom Vilom & Sheetali) daily

Avoid touching/scrubbing acne-prone skin

Maintain regular sleep-wake cycles

Wash face 2–3x daily with lukewarm water only

Avoid chemical-based cosmetics and harsh scrubs

While acne, hair fall, and pigmentation can feel persistent and frustrating, Ayurveda views these as signs of internal imbalance that can be corrected with time, care, and consistency. Your skin and hair can return to balance — but the key lies in addressing the root cause, not just the surface.

I strongly recommend consulting an Ayurvedic physician for personalized guidance, as individual Prakriti, diet, and lifestyle play a big role in response to treatment.

Wishing you glowing skin, healthy hair, and lasting confidence ahead.

Your symptoms appear to be primarily due to raktha dushti. So internal purification is essential. Ayurvedic medicines can be helpful, along with specific dietary and lifestyle modification to prevent further vitiation of Raktha.

1. Manjishtadi kashayam 15 ml+ 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food. 2. Kaisora guggulu 1-0-1 with kashayam. 3. Khadirarishtam 15 ml twice daily after food. 4. Arogyavardhini vati 1 after food.

5. Eladi choornam with warm water for external application over face. 6. Nalpamaram boiled water can be used for bath. 7. For hair fall - regular head massage with ksheerabala tailam for 15 minutes.

Include green leafy vegetables 🌿 and cooling fruits like pomegranate, 🍇 grapes, watermelon🍉, Amla etc.

Avoid excess salty and spicy 🔥 foods, fermented foods, alcohol, carbonated drinks, etc

hello Parth Mehta, on looking at everything — the acne, oily skin, black marks, full-face breakouts, back and shoulder acne, patchy beard, and hair fall — this clearly shows a Pitta-Kapha imbalance. In Ayurveda, we call this a condition of Rakta Dushti + Mamsa Dhatu dusthi, which means your blood is overheated and carrying toxins (Pitta) while your skin and oil channels (Kapha) are clogged. When digestion isn’t clear and Agni (fire) becomes irregular, it leads to Ama formation (toxic build-up) which tries to exit through your skin. That’s why you’re seeing pimples with pus, oiliness, and dark marks left behind. Also, hair fall and patchy beard show your Rasa-Rakta-Mamsa dhatus are weak — so tissues aren’t getting proper nourishment. This is reversible — but you need to treat the root cause inside, not just creams. Once your blood is cooled, digestion corrected, and skin channels cleared, you’ll notice visible relief from acne and hair problems.

Prescription (Shodhana + Shamana Chikitsa)

Manjishta capsule – 1 capsule twice daily after food Neem tablet – 1 tablet in morning empty stomach Avipattikar churna – 1 tsp with warm water at night Sarivadyasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after food Kumkumadi lepam – Apply on marks every night and rinse in morning Neelibhringadi taila – Apply on scalp and beard daily, leave overnight

Diet Guidelines

Avoid curd, fried food, bakery items, cheese, sour fruits, and excess non-veg Strictly no sugar-loaded items like chocolates, pastries, carbonated drinks Avoid tea/coffee for 4 weeks — instead take coriander seed water or jeera water Eat warm, fresh food: moong dal, lauki, pumpkin, ridge gourd, thin rice kanji Add turmeric, coriander, and cumin regularly to food Drink warm water only — avoid fridge water, juices, and milk at night Have dinner by 7:30 pm, sleep by 10:30 pm daily Weekly 1 day light fasting or fruit-only day if comfortable

Investigations (if not done recently)

CBC FBS/PPBS (to rule out insulin resistance if acne is severe) Serum DHEAS and Testosterone (if beard is patchy and acne is hormonal) Vitamin D3, B12 USG Abdomen (to check if PCOD or fatty liver is linked)

This condition needs 6–8 weeks of focused care and you will start seeing a real change within 2–3 weeks if followed properly.

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

It sounds like you’re dealing with quite a range of skin and hair concerns. Let’s address them considering Ayurveda’s time-tested principles.

For acne and pimples on oily areas like your face, neck, and shoulders, ayurveda points toward a Pitta and Kapha imbalance. To balance Pitta, reduce oily, spicy, and fermented foods while focusing on a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and cooling herbs like coriander and fennel. You can apply a paste of sandalwood and rose water to the affected areas to soothe inflammation and cool the skin. Wash your face twice daily with lukewarm water and avoid harsh soaps that can strip natural oils or increase Pitta aggravation.

To deal with acne scars and black marks, use a paste of turmeric and honey. Turmeric, known for its antiseptic properties, aids in reducing pigmentation and speeding up skin healing. Apply this mixture to the scars, leave it for about 15 minutes, then rinse. Consistency is key here, apply it daily or at least thrice a week.

Hair fall and patchy beard issues may signal a Vata imbalance. A regular scalp massage using coconut or sesame oil enriched with Amla or Bringraj can help strengthen hair roots and stimulate growth. Do this 2-3 times a week. Also, consume a diet high in proteins, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. Meditation and stress-reduction techniques such as daily yoga or pranayama can also balance Vata, benefiting hair health.

Lifestyle factors such as irregular sleep patterns, excessive stress, and poor diet can exacerbate these conditions. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep and maintain a balanced diet that supports your dosha constitution. Hydration is fundamental too, ensuring you drink adequate water helps maintain skin health.

If these concerns persist or worsen, it might be prudent to consult a dermatologist or a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance. They can offer targeted therapies and more specific guidance tailored to your unique constitution and condition. Remember, changes in diet and lifestyle take time to manifest improvements, so patience and consistency are key.

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. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

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. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

Dr. Anupriya
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. 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.
