Hello rishab , Thank you for sharing. Based on what you’ve described, your symptoms strongly resemble Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP) with clear photosensitivity and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This condition is stubborn and chronic, but Ayurveda can help by addressing the deeper imbalance — Pitta-Vata dushti, Rakta dhatu vitiation, and poor tissue detox leading to pigmentation not fading.

Ayurvedic Explanation (in simple tone for patient):

LPP in Ayurveda is similar to a condition called “Neelika” or “Vyanga”, where Pitta (heat) in the skin is aggravated and mixes with vitiated Vata, causing dryness, dark pigmentation, and itching. Sunlight further increases Pitta and causes your Rakta (blood) to overreact, leading to long-lasting black patches and burning/itching sensation.

Since you’ve had this for 10 years, it shows deep-seated Rakta Dushti (toxic blood state), Bhrajaka Pitta imbalance (skin-level Pitta), and Rasa-Rakta Kshaya (poor nourishment and detox of first two tissues). Creams alone can’t correct this — internal detox and Pitta-Vata pacification is needed.

Ayurvedic Treatment Plan

Internal Medicines: 1. Sarivadyasava – 15 ml + equal water after lunch and dinner 2. Kaishora Guggulu – 2 tablets twice a day after food 3. Manjisthadi Kashayam – 15 ml + water twice a day before meals 4. Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water

External Applications: 1. Eladi Taila – for daily body application (apply and leave for 30 min before bath) 2. Kunkumadi Taila – apply a thin layer on affected areas at night (don’t use in day) 3. Aloe vera pulp (fresh) + Sandalwood powder pack on face or darkened areas – twice a week 4. Do not use steroid-based creams or harsh exfoliators

Shodhana (Detox) Advice: • Raktamokshana (bloodletting) and Virechana (purgation) are highly recommended for long-standing LPP, especially in dushti of Rakta-Pitta. Please consult a qualified Ayurvedic doctor for this nearby.

Diet Guidelines: • Avoid sour, spicy, fermented, and oily foods • Completely avoid: curd, tomatoes, green chilli, pickles, fried food • Include: amla, ghee, moong dal, old rice, bottle gourd, turmeric, neem juice (in moderation) • Drink coriander + vetiver (usheer) infused water

Lifestyle Tips: • Always apply physical sunscreen or cover yourself with cotton clothing when in sun • Do not scrub or rub affected areas • Avoid hot water bath and sweating in sun • Night sleep before 10:30 PM, avoid screen exposure late night

Optional Investigations: • Vitamin D3 • Serum IgE (to rule out allergic tendency) • Liver function test (since Pitta and Rakta are related)

This condition needs patience but can improve with internal correction and gentle skin support. Don’t depend on fairness creams. With consistent care, the patches will gradually lighten and your skin will regain balance.

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

HELLO RISHAB,

WHAT IS LPP? Lichen Plans pigmentation is a chronic, progressive dermatological condition characterised by: -Dark brown to grey black pigmentation on sun-exposed or flexural areas - often triggered or worsened by sunlight, heat or inflammation - itching or burning on sun exposure -resistant to fading, even with treatment

AYURVEDIC PATHOGENESIS

PITTA DOSHA= heat, inflammation, and pigmentation RAKTA DHATU DUSHTI= impaired blood tissue function- responsible for skin color KUSHTA(skin disorder)= LPP can be categorised under minor Kshudra kushtha VYANGA= localised pigmentation due to pitta-raita vitiation AMA= toxin accumulation due to weakness digestion BHRAJAKA PITTA DUSHTI= disruption in skin pigmentation metabolism(skin pitta sub-type)

So, the root of the disease lies in- -vitiated pitta and rakta dhatu - ama(toxic byproducts of improper digestion) - sun exposure and stress aggravating bhrajak pitta

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF LPP

1) DETOXIFICATION

AT HOME

FOR 1ST 3 DAYS

- TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before food 30 mins before twice daily

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water after food twice daily

on 3rd day eat light food like khichdi at night

on 4th day VIRECHANA PROCEDURE - TRIVRIT LEHA= 50 gm with warm milk early morning after that don’t eat anything just have warm water -you will observe loose motions 5-10 times

this will detoxifies your body

after motions stops have light food for that day

THIS PROCESS WILL ELIMINATE EXCESS PITTA AND TOXINS

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS(start from day 5) these are meant to purify blood, cool down the body, balance pitta and improve skin tone

1) BLOOD PURIFIERS

-MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 30 ml twice daily before meals with water = reduces pigmentation, detoxifies blood

-SARIDVADYASAVA= 20 ml twice daily after meals with water = pitta pacifier, reduces itching and heat

-GUDUCHI CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily in morning and night = immunity and pitta regulation

2) LIVER AND PITTA REGULATORS

1) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =liver detox , skin health

2) AVIPAATIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water = improves digestion, reduces pitta

3) ANTI-PIGMENTATION LEPA AND RASAYANA -yastimadhu+haridra+chandan+ rose water paste = 3 times/week - 1 tsp sandalwood powder+ 1 tsp mulethi powder + 1 tsp manjistha powder+cucumber huice= 20 min leave and then wash

TOPICAL AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

NIGHT OIL APPLICATIONS

1) KUMKUMADI TAILA= 5 drops on affected area =reduces pigmentation, even tones

2) ELADI TAILA= whole body application before bath =prevents darkening, calms skin

3) NALPAMRADI TAILA= for facial pigmentation =brigthens dull skin

SUNPROTECTION(very imp for LPP) -Apply sunscreen with SPF 30-50 -use natural sun blockers= aloevera, cucumber juice , turmeric paste -cover skin with cotton clothes, hats, umbreallas -avoid sun exposure between 10 AM- 4PM

DIET AND LIFESTYLE

AVOID PITTA AGGRAVTING FOODS -spicy, sour, fermented, fried, junk food -red meat, alcohol, vinegar, excess salt - pickles, tamarind, tomatoes, brinjal

PREFER -bitter vegetables= kerala, neem, methi - amla, pomegranate, coconut water, buttermilk - turmeric milk with ghee - mung dal, barley, ghee, bottle gourd

LIFESTYLE TIPS -practice cooling pranayam= sheetali, sheetakari, anulom vilom -sleep early and avoid screen exposure before bed -reduce stres- LPP often worsens with emotional strain -bath with cool or lukewarm water not hot

EXPECTED OUTCOMES -1-3 MONTHS= reduced itching, fewer new pigmentation lesion -3-6 MONTHS= gradual fading of superficial pigmentation LONF TERM= if sun protection+ ayurvedic regime is followed, Pigmentation stabilises and skin tone evens out slowly

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP) can be quite persistent, especially because exposure to sunlight often exacerbate it. Ayurveda offers several approaches to manage this condition, primarily aiming to balance the skin health and reduce hyperpigmentation by addressing the root causes.

Firstly, consider dietary changes to balance your Pitta dosha, as it may be aggravated. Incorporate more cooling foods such as cucumber, cilantro, and ghee, and reduce spicy, sour, or salty items which might increase Pitta. Stay hydrated with water and herbal teas like chamomile to keep the skin nourished.

For topical treatments, you can prepare a paste using sandalwood powder and rose water. Apply this paste to the affected areas twice a day, it can provide soothing relief and help lighten pigmentation over time. Another useful remedy is the application of a turmeric and milk mixture; however, ensure you do a patch test, as some skin types might react to turmeric.

To support healing, take Triphala churna daily—usually one teaspoon with warm water before bedtime. It aids in detoxifying the body and promoting skin health. Consider using aloe vera gel directly from the plant on your skin, as it can cool and heal.

Sunscreen is crucial due to your sensitivity to sunlight, one that offers broad-spectrum protection without harmful chemicals, such as those containing zinc oxide, can shield your skin and prevent further pigmentation.

In terms of lifestyle, please make sure to cover exposed skin when outdoors with clothing or hats, and try to limit sun exposure during peak hours. Practicing Pranayama (breathing exercises) can also help to reduce stress and balance the body’s energies.

If you notice your symptoms are not improving, or if the itching is severe, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a more tailored treatment plan, potentially involving internal herbal formulations or Panchakarma therapies.

Though these natural approaches often require patience and consistency, they focus on bringing balance to the entire body, which can gradually manifest in radiant and healthy skin.

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 RISHAB,

Lichen Plans pigmentosus(LPP) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition, typically presenting as dark brown to greyish black patches , mostly on sun-exposed area. what you’re describing- worsening pigmentation and itching with sun exposure-is common in LPP. conventional treatments are limited in fully reversing pigmentation, and recurrence is frequent.

However Ayurvedic management can help reduce inflammation, support pigmentation reversal, and minimise recurrences when followed consistently

In Ayurveda, LPP resembles " VICHARCHIKA" or “VYANGA”, a condition involving vitiation of pitta and rakta dhatus, sometimes with kapha involvement.

The key triggers like sun exposure, stress, hot/spicy foods, and chemical exposure aggravate pitta and rakta, leading to pigmentation and skin sensitivity

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) CHANDANADI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with coconut water

2) PITTARI AVALEHA= 1 tsp twice daily after meals with warm water

3) RAKTASODHAK VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with water

4) USHEERASAVA= 20 ml twice daily with equal quantity of water after meals

5) TIKTAKA GHRITA = 1 tsp with warm water in morning empty stomach

6) PATOLKATUROHANYADI KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily before meals with equal water

EXTERNAL OILS AND LEPA

1) JATYADI TAILA= apply on pigmented areas once daily leave on or rinse after 1 hour

2) VETPALAI TAILAM= apply at night every alternate days, wash off in morning

3) SIDDHARTHA TAILAM= apply before bath 45 mins , best used in morning

4) MULTANIMITTI + RAKTA CHANDAN + ROSE WATER PASTE =face/body pack 2-3 times/week apply for 20 mins, wash off gently

NATURAL REMEDIES

-ALOE VERA JUICE= 20-30 ml empty stomach in morning

-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water for gentle detox

DIET

AVOID -spicy,sour,salty, fermented foods -non vegetarian food - tea, coffee, alcohol - excessive heat producing foods like tomatoes, pickles, red chillies

INCLUDE -cooling foods= cucumber , amla, coriander, buttermilk -bitter vegetables= neem, bitter gourd -Aloe vera juive

LIFESTYLE -always apply natural sun protection. sandalwood + turmeric paste or a cotton scarf when outside -avoid harsh soaps, use Multani mitti instead -practice yoga and pranayam- stress is a strong trigger for autoimmune skin conditions

SUN PROTECTION since you are sensitive to sunlight -apply sunscreen with physical blockers like zinc oxide or herbal alternatives before stepping out -use cotton clothing, full sleeves, and a wide-brimmed hat to limit exposure -cleanse skin with cold water after returning from outside

Ayurvedictreatment is deep acting 2-3 months to reduce itching and new pigmentation -6+ months to fade older marks

consistency and patience are key

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA

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.

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.

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. 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.

ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
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.

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 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. Chaitrali Rajendra Tambe
I am someone who really believes that Ayurveda isn’t just about giving herbs and oils—it's more like a whole way of looking at the body, the habits, the food, and how everything connects together. I got solid training in Ayurvedic clinical practice and feel most confident when I'm using therapies like Panchakarma or planning proper Shodhana for someone who's stuck in a cycle of chronic illness or stress-related issues. There’s just something powerful about seeing how classical cleansing can bring that shift in energy and clarity for ppl who've tried everything else. I work a lot on dosha assessment—sometimes it takes a bit of digging cause symptoms don’t always line up in a textbook way. But once I figure out what’s really going off-balance, I try to make treatment super personalized. It’s not just about giving a kashayam or lepa... I spend time explaining diet changes, routines, sleep timing, and even emotional triggers when needed. Many people don’t realise how big a role lifestyle play in their conditions. Right now, I’m mostly focused on lifestyle disorders and detox-based therapies. Things like PCOS, fatty liver, skin allergies, joint stiffness, IBS, anxiety-linked issues… those come up a lot. I try not to rush. I’d rather go slow n consistent, combining classical concepts with modern diagnostics if needed. Blood tests, reports, scans—they help me track things while still keeping the treatment Ayurvedic in core. I’m also pretty organized about documenting my cases—not just for reference but to understand patterns better. I guess every case teaches you something new, even after hundreds of patients. And I do keep learning, whether it’s updating protocols or trying to refine a virechana schedule that didn’t go as planned. In the end, for me it’s really about finding that balance for each person... not just patching the symptom. I think that’s where Ayurveda really shines.

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.
