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 concern—persistent pigmentation for the past 5 years, no significant relief from dermatological treatments, and increasing dullness and dark patches—it’s very likely that long-term sun exposure has played a major role. This type of pigmentation often falls under melasma or photo-induced hyperpigmentation, which can be stubborn and slow to heal. Daily Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable: You must apply sunscreen daily, even when you're indoors, as UV rays can penetrate through windows and artificial lights. Ensure you apply a thick layer—about 1 mm of coverage across the skin for full protection. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Recommended options: La Shield Sunscreen Sunheal Sunscreen Along with sunscreen, you can try a natural method to gently detox and brighten the skin: Mix Arjuna Churna (powdered bark) with a few drops of raw honey Apply as a thin layer on the face Leave it on for 5 minutes, then gently scrub and rinse This helps to boost circulation, reduce pigmentation, and improve skin tone over time. Tips: Avoid stepping out during peak sunlight hours (10 AM – 4 PM) Use wide-brimmed hats or umbrellas for extra protection. Stay hydrated and include antioxidant-rich foods like amla, pomegranate, and green leafy vegetables. I hope this information helps you, and for more personalized care, please consult a nearby Ayurvedic practitioner in person.
