Dr. Neha Saini
I’m Vaidya Neha Saini, an Ayurvedic Physician with a strong foundation in classical Ayurveda and a passion for restoring health through natural and individualized care. I hold a BAMS degree from Shree Krishna Government Ayurvedic College, Kurukshetra, and completed my MD in Ayurveda from the esteemed Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune. 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. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession—it is a way of life, a science of understanding human nature, and a philosophy of living in sync with the rhythms of nature. I am committed to walking this path with you, offering my knowledge, experience, and care at every step of your healing journey.

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.

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

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

I have been practicing as a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician since 1990, with over three decades of clinical experience in treating a wide range of chronic and lifestyle-related health conditions. My core areas of focus include hair disorders, skin diseases, and lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, and stress-related imbalances. Over the years, I have developed a patient-centric approach that emphasizes deep-rooted healing through authentic Ayurvedic principles. My treatment philosophy is based on understanding the unique constitution (prakriti) and imbalance (vikriti) of each patient, allowing me to craft individualized care plans using classical formulations, diet corrections, detox therapies (shodhana), and lifestyle modifications. Whether it’s persistent hair fall, recurring skin allergies, or long-term metabolic disorders, I aim to address the root cause rather than just suppress symptoms. In the management of lifestyle disorders like diabetes and arthritis, I integrate Ayurvedic medicines with structured dinacharya (daily routines) and ahar (dietary guidance), focusing on sustainable results and long-term wellness. I also work extensively with stress-related concerns, offering holistic strategies that incorporate mind-body practices, including meditation, herbal support, and counseling rooted in Ayurveda. With a strong foundation in traditional Ayurvedic texts and decades of hands-on experience, I remain committed to providing safe, natural, and effective healthcare solutions. My goal is to guide patients toward a balanced life, free from chronic ailments, through personalized treatment protocols that restore harmony to both body and mind.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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.
