HELLO KARTHIK,

Lichen Planopilarish is a rare autoimmune condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles , especially in the scalp. The inflammation destroys the hair follicle permanently- leading to scarring and irreversible hair loss.

KEY FEATURES -patchy hair loss with redness, itching, burning or pain - follicular plugging- scalp looks like small dots or bumps -shiny patches of scalp with no hair follicles- sign of permanent scarring

It’s considered a type of scarring alopecia and a variant if Lichen planus, which can also affect the skin or mucous membranes

In Ayurveda, LPP is viewed as a complex disease involving -vitiation of pitta and vata doshas - involvement of Rakta dhatu (blood tissue) and Mamsa dhatu (muscle tissue) -A condition called Khalitya + Raktadushti + Darunaka + Indralupta aspects

It is chronic and Tridoshaja , especially dominated by Pitta (Inflammation) and Vata (Destruction, dryness, degeneration)

SYMPTOMS YOU ARE EXPERIENCING -patchy hair loss on scalp - redness or inflamed areas -burning or painful sensation in scalp - itchy or tender scalp - no regrowth in some areas(scarring

INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -Scalp biopsy= most important to confirms LPP diagnosis -Trichoscopy(dermoscopy)- magnified look at scalp -Blood test -ANA (anti-nuclear antibodies) -ESR, CRP (inflammation markers) - Thyroid profile (autoimmune thyroiditis) - Vitamin D, B12 - Iron studies

TREATMENT GOAL -stops or slow down progression of scarring -control inflammation-reduce burning, itching, redness - purify blood and reduce autoimmune response - promote regrowth in non scarred areas - rejuvinate and nourish scalp tissues - prevent recurrence

DETOX THERAPY- if feasible go for panchakarma= best results in cases like yours

-VIRECHANA= purgation =clears excess pitta from liver ,blood and skin. very effective for LPP

-BASTI= especially effective for chronic autoimmune conditions. vata- pacifying basis rejuvinate scalp tissues

-RAKTAMOKSHANA(leech therapy)= useful in active, inflamed patches, reduces burning , pain, and promotes healing

INTERNAL MEDICINES= to be taken for at least 3-6 months

1) KAISHOR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =reduces inflammation, purifies blood

2) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals with water = supports liver detox and skin health

3) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily with warm water before meals = excellent blood purifier, acts on skin and scalp inflammation

4) GUDUCHI CAPSULES= 1 cap. twice daily after meals =immunomodulatory, helps correct autoimmunity

5) BRINGARAJ CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily in morning and at night = hair tonic, supports regrowth in early stages

6) TRIPHALA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =gentle detox, and digestive support

7) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at bedtime = reduces stress, calms autoimmune flare ups

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

-NEELIBRINGADI TAILA= apply warm oil to scalp, leave for 1 hour then wash = 3 times/week= use for long term

-DURVADI TAILA= good for active inflammation, alternate days until redness reduces

-KUMKUMADI TAILA= for pigmentation, inflammation only at night, few drops to patches

HERBAL HAIR WASH

BOIL AND COOL -AMLA+ REETHA+SHIKAKAI powder(1 tsp each in 1-2 cups water) -strian and use as a mild cleanser

ALSO= ALOEVERA GEL + NEEM WATER RINSE

LEPA -Manjistha+ neem + sandalwood with cow milk or rose water =leave for 45 min then wash use 2-3 times/week

-JATYADI LEPA= for inflamed skin, ulcerated patches

-SIDDHA TAILA + RASOTHAMADI LEPA= once in 10 days

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -fresh fruits=pomegranate , sweet grapes, amla - Vegetables= bottle gourd, ridge gourd, ash gourd, leafy greens - mung dal -light and etoxifying - rice, whole wheat - cow ghee-small amount, especially medicated ghee - coconut water - turmeric, coriander, fennel, cumin in cooking

AVOID -spicy, sour, fermented foods- pickles , vinegar - deep fired, oily, heavy-to-digest food - over consumption of salt - tea, coffee, alcohol, smoking - excess curd, cheese, panner - non veg food (esp red meat), at least during treatment

LIFESTYLE + YOGA + PRANAYAM

YOGA( 5-20 minutes daily) helps regulate immunity and nervous system. focus on gentle, cooling, and anti stress practices -balasana -shashankasana -viparita karani - supta baddha konasana

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana -sheetali/sheetakari -bhramari

AVOID -over exertion - over heating - excessive sun exposure - irregular sleep

LONG TERM MANAGEMENT

-BE PATIENT= hair loss due to LPP is often irreversible in scarred areas. but progression can be slowed and some regrowth is possible in early, non scarred follicles

-Early intervention is crucial

-Stress is a major trigger-managing it is as important as medications

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

THANK YOU

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Lichen planopilaris is a challenging condition as it’s an autoimmune and scarring form of alopecia. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, addressing the imbalance in your doshas, particularly focusing on pacifying Pitta and Vata doshas, is essential. To begin with, diet plays a crucial role. Favor foods that are cooling and nourishing, like ghee, warm milk, and fresh fruits such as pears and apples, while reducing spicy, oily, and processed foods which aggravate Pitta. Incorporate turmeric and neem as they have potent anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties; you can drink turmeric milk with a pinch of black pepper twice daily.

Apply a topical paste of aloe vera gel mixed with a small amount of bhringraj powder directly onto the scalp to soothe inflammation and promote hair regeneration. Leave it on for about 20-30 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Massaging the scalp gently with coconut oil infusions, perhaps with Brahmi or Amla, can help enhance blood flow and nourish the hair roots. Do this twice a week ideally in the evening before bed.

Focus on regular relaxation techniques to manage stress, which can exacerbate autoimmune responses, such as practicing yoga nidra or meditation for at least 20 minutes daily. While these measures target symptoms and underlying causes, it’s crucial to closely monitor changes or if conditions worsen. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner directly can further tailor these suggestions to suit your specific constitutional needs and ensure safety and appropriateness, especially alongside any current treatments you may be receiving.

Hello Karthick , what you’re facing lichen planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune scalp condition where your body’s own immune system is attacking the hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss, redness, itching, and burning. In Ayurveda, this is seen as a combination of Pitta aggravation (causing inflammation), Rakta dushti (impure blood), and Vata blockage (preventing hair regrowth). Because it’s autoimmune, the root is deeper than just the scalp your immune system, blood, and skin metabolism are all out of sync. That’s why even after modern treatments, you didn’t get lasting results. The goal in Ayurveda is to cool the blood, detox the liver, reduce inflammation, and slowly bring the scalp back to balance so follicles stop shrinking. It takes patience, but it is treatable especially if the hair follicles aren’t yet fully scarred.

Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (8 weeks):

Panchtikta Ghrita Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food Manjishtadi Kwatham – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water twice daily before meals Mahamanjishtadi Kwatham (if inflammation is high) – can alternate with above Saraswata Ghrita – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water or milk Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at night with warm water (for regular detox)

External Treatment (3 times/week minimum):

Scalp lepa (paste): Mix Triphala churna + Yashtimadhu + Neem powder with rose water and apply on scalp patches for 20 mins before washing Oil application: Use Neelibhringadi taila + few drops Khadir taila – apply on scalp at night 2–3 times/week Hair wash: Use herbal hair wash with Triphala decoction or gentle reetha/shikakai powder Avoid chemical shampoos and hair dyes

Pathya (What You Should Eat & Follow):

Start day with warm water + 1 tsp ghee Eat cooling, blood-purifying foods: beetroot, pomegranate, moong dal, methi, spinach Soaked almonds (5) + raisins (7) + 2 dates in morning Add turmeric, manjistha, and guduchi powder in food if possible Practice Sheetali pranayama + Nadi shodhana for 10–15 mins daily Ensure early dinner and early sleep

Apathya (Strictly Avoid):

Spicy, sour, fermented, oily foods Tea/coffee, pickles, curd, vinegar Hair products with chemicals, dyes, heat treatments Stress, late nights, overthinking Fried snacks and dry fasting

Investigations (If not recently done):

Vitamin D3, B12, Ferritin ANA test (autoimmune screen) CBC + ESR + CRP (for inflammation levels) Thyroid profile

This condition will require at least 3–4 months of steady treatment, but with internal cooling, regular detox, and scalp healing, the hair loss can be arrested, and the scalp will begin to calm down. You’re still early in the condition which means you can absolutely reverse it naturally.

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

1 Bhringamalakadi Taila - extly apply and massage for 10 min. 2 times

2 Jeevamrita Leha or Chyavanaprasha Leha-1 tsf after food 2 times with milk

3.Shuddha Shilajatu-250mg+ Saptamrita Loha - 500mg+ bhringaraja Churna -3gm after food 2 times with honey and ghee Diet and Lifestyle Pathya: Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nutritious food, adequate sleep Apathya: Avoid salt, sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. Overconsumption of salt and sugar increases dandruff and hairloss. Avoid large amounts of vitamin A Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp.

Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry.

HELLO KATHICK,

Lichen palnopilarish(LPP) is a form of scarring alopecia, an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks the hair follicles, leading to permanent hair loss and scalp inflammation. Modern treatments often focus on suppressing the immune system and controlling inflammation, but Ayurveda offers to manage the root cause , reduce inflammation and promotes scalp healing

LPP leads to permanent scarring, so early intervention is key. Ayurveda cannot reverse scarring, but it may help slow or stop progression and improve scalp health

In Ayurveda, LPP can be considered a tridoshic imbalance, primarily involving

PITTA DOSHA= inflammation, redness VATA DOSHA= dryness, hair loss RAKTA DUSHTI = impurity in blood KHA VAIGUNYA= damage to hair follicle channels

MANAGEMENT PLAN

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SARIVADYASAVA= 25 ml with equal water after meals twice daily =useful in chronic inflammation and autoimmune skin conditions with redness

2) MAHATIKTAKA GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk on empty stomach =deep acting, excellent for chronic skin and hair root damage

3) SOOTSEKHARA RASA= 250 mg with ghee twice daily after meals =actis as a Rasayana, for inflammatory autoimmune conditions

4) PANCHANIMBA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =specifically useful for pitta-raita aggravation seen in LPP

5) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =detox, anti inflammatory balances kapha vata

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

1) DURVADI TAILA =apply lukewarm on scalp at night =ideal for burning, redness, oozing lesions

2) KARANJA TAILA =antifungal, anti bacterial, often used in chronic dermatoses with scarring

HERBAL PACK -aloe vera + neem paste -hibiscus leaf paste -manjistha+rose water+multani mitti =apply 1-2 times a week for 30 minutes and wash off with herbal shampoo(amla reetha shikakai )

PANCHAKARMA THERAPY if condition is not responding to basic treatment panchakarma is highly beneficial

-VIRECHANA= for pitta detox -RAKTAMOKSHANA= leech therapy for scalp in chronic inflammation -SHIRODHARA= helps calm mind and head doshas

DIET

AVOID= spicy, sour, fried, fermented food

INCLUDE= cooling foods- coconut water, coriander, cucumber, ghee

Drink TRIPHALA WATER or TURMERIC MILK at night

LIFESTYLE -manage stress= meditation, yoga, bhramari pranayam

AVOID= excess sun exposure , heat. alcohol or stress

Maintain regular sleep= before 10 pm

Ayurvedic treatment needs patience and consistency

It cannot reverse hair loss from scarring but arrest progression

THANK YOU

Lichen planopilaris (LPP) can indeed be challenging. In Ayurveda, conditions like these are primarily associated with an imbalance in Pitta dosha leading to inflammation, which manifests as redness and discomfort. You’ll wanna work on pacifying Pitta to support your healing process.

Lets start with your diet. Aim to include cooling and anti-inflammatory foods. Aloe vera juice, coconut water, and pomegranate are good options. Include Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) because it’s nomally used for promoting hair health. You can find it in powder form; take around 1 teaspoon with water daily.

Your lifestyle matters too—stress reduction is crucial since stress can exacerbate autoimmune conditions. Try practicing yoga, especially poses like Bhujangasana (cobra pose) and Shavasana (corpse pose), these can be calming. Regular meditation can also help stabilize your mind.

For external application, use a cooling herbal oil too, such as Brahmi oil, massaged gently on the scalp. You might find relief using a warm infusion of neem leaves to wash your scalp. Boil the leaves in water, strain, and let it cool before applying. Neem is known for its cooling and antiviral properties.

Remember to keep your scalp clean, avoid chemical-laden products, and stay hydrated. Consistant hydration supports detoxification and helps in maintaining healthy skin.

It’s worth discussing these options with your Ayurvedic practitioner, particularly if you’re already taking medications, to ensure there’s no interference. And, because LPP can lead to scarring, you might wanna always keep in touch with your dermatologist or healthcare provider to monitor your condition. They might offer more targeted treatments if the scarring progresses. Take care of yourself!

I am working as an Ayurvedic doctor since 2 yrs now, and honestly the more I work with patients, the more I realise how vast Ayurveda actually is—like it’s not just herbs n oils, it’s a whole mindset shift too. What I try to do daily is bring the traditional knowledge into actual usable treatment plans that ppl today can follow without feeling overwhelmed. Because yeah, modern life is fast, messy, complicated—and Ayurveda has to adapt, not stay frozen in texts. My focus is always to go beyond the symptom, like okay you’ve got acidity or hairfall or anxiety... but why? where is it sitting in the body? That’s where I do prakriti-vikriti analysis, diet breakdowns, gut evaluations—some ppl don’t even know their sleep patterns are messing up their hormones till we sit and talk it out. I don’t just push medicine. I explain why your food matters, why your bowel timings affect your skin, or how skipping breakfast can worsen PCOD. I keep it simple but sharp. Patients feel heard I think, coz I don’t rush. Even for lifestyle disorders like diabties, thyroid, IBS or stress burnouts—I try combining classical herbs with practical daily changes that they can actually do. And yeah, I constantly update myself—reading, workshops, CME’s, sometimes even just asking senior docs. Ayurveda is ancient, sure—but if you don’t bring it into present day logic, what’s the point right? Every person I treat kinda teaches me something new. No case is “small”, whether it's hairfall or constipation or sleep trouble... each one needs its own lens. I believe in being honest, open, and okay to say “I don’t know yet” till I study more. That’s how I grow, that’s how I care.

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 Senior Ayurveda Physician with over 28 years of clinical experience dedicated to the principles and practice of authentic Ayurvedic medicine. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of treating more than 100,000 patients through both in-person consultations and online platforms. My approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic diagnostics—such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), Roga-Rogi Pariksha (patient and disease evaluation), and a personalized assessment of prakriti (body constitution). Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of health conditions across all age groups—from acute infections and digestive issues to chronic and lifestyle disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. I place strong emphasis on individualized care, combining herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox therapies, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to ensure long-term healing and disease prevention. My extensive experience also includes addressing complex, chronic illnesses that require a deep understanding of both the pathology and the patient’s overall constitution. I have worked with patients who had previously struggled with little success in other systems of medicine, and have guided many toward sustainable recovery and improved quality of life. Whether treating elderly patients with degenerative disorders or young adults facing hormonal or metabolic challenges, I strive to offer care that is compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-informed. My goal is to empower patients with Ayurvedic wisdom so they can take an active role in their healing journey. I continue to remain updated with the evolving landscape of integrative health and value the importance of patient education, ethical practice, and consistent follow-up. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession, but a lifelong commitment to restoring balance and promoting well-being, one patient at a time.

I am someone who got into Ayurveda not just for treating diseases but cuz I always felt drawn to understanding why things go out of balance in the first place. My work’s rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—I’ve spent years studying them, not just memorizing shlokas but really figuring out what they mean in today’s context. At the same time, I also use modern diagnostic stuff where needed, just to get a fuller picture. Pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) is something I rely on a lot—it’s not easy to master but with practice, it kinda tells you what the body’s hiding, even before symptoms scream out loud. I focus mostly on chronic issues… like gut problems, fatigue, hormonal mess, skin disorders, and stress stuff that just doesn’t go away with tablets. I use herbal formulations (mostly customized), Panchakarma when needed—not in a one-size way but actually based on the person’s Prakriti and Vikriti. I also spend a good chunk of time explaining things to patients. Like why you should eat this in winter, or skip curd at night or not mix fruits with milk—little stuff people think doesn’t matter, but actually does in Ayurveda. Over time, I’ve realized people don’t just want relief, they want to understand how their body works again. That’s kinda where I feel most useful. I help patients reconnect with natural rhythms, daily routines, sleep cycles, digestion, seasons—all of it. And ya, it’s slow sometimes. But once things shift internally, you see it show up on the outside too. That’s what keeps me going honestly. Whether it’s stress or sluggish metabolism or just someone feeling “not right” without knowing why—I try to listen deep, go to the root n create a treatment path that’s realistic and sustainable. Not just ideal on paper. Healing, for me, is something we do together, not something I just hand over. I want people to feel heard n understood… and to believe their bodies can heal, with the right support. That’s what Ayurveda is to me—real, ancient, and still totally alive.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I’m Dr. Maitri, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Dravyaguna (Ayurvedic Pharmacology), with a strong foundation in classical Ayurvedic herbs and their therapeutic applications. I currently run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli, where I have been practicing for the past two years, offering personalized treatment plans rooted in the principles of Ayurveda. My clinical focus includes the management of PCOD, skin and hair disorders, and joint-related conditions such as arthritis, stiffness, and back pain. By integrating my academic training with hands-on experience, I strive to provide treatments that are both effective and sustainable. I place a strong emphasis on understanding each patient’s prakriti (individual constitution) and tailor therapies using medicinal herbs, dietary corrections (ahara), and lifestyle guidance (vihara) to restore balance and long-term health. Having a background in Dravyaguna allows me to apply the power of plant-based medicine with precision. I deeply study the rasa, guna, virya, vipaka, and prabhava of each herb before selecting them for my formulations. This ensures that my prescriptions are not just symptomatic but deeply curative, targeting the root causes of disease. In my practice, I have seen encouraging results in cases of hormonal imbalance, acne, pigmentation, premature hair fall, and chronic joint pain. I also guide patients through seasonal detox plans and rejuvenation therapies to enhance vitality and prevent recurrence of illness. I am passionate about making Ayurveda understandable and practical for today’s lifestyle. Whether it’s managing modern-day metabolic issues or offering natural beauty solutions, my goal is to empower patients with holistic tools for long-term well-being. As I continue my postgraduate journey, I remain committed to deepening my knowledge in medicinal plants and applying that wisdom to help patients heal naturally and completely.

Dr. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with 1 year of hands-on clinical experience, committed to providing effective and holistic healthcare solutions. I began my professional journey as a VOPD (Virtual Outpatient Department) doctor at Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited, where I served for 6 months. During this time, I gained valuable experience in patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning while managing a variety of acute and chronic health conditions through Ayurvedic principles. My role involved virtual consultations, customized treatment protocols, and continuous patient follow-ups, allowing me to sharpen my diagnostic and counseling skills in both preventive and curative aspects of Ayurveda. Following this, I worked as a Resident Doctor at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur, where I further strengthened my clinical expertise. Here, I was actively involved in the management of patients undergoing traditional Panchakarma therapies, Ayurvedic detoxification procedures, and personalized treatment regimens. My responsibilities included in-depth patient consultations, planning and executing Panchakarma therapies, and collaborating closely with senior Ayurvedic consultants to ensure safe and effective patient care. This role enhanced my understanding of classical Ayurvedic therapies, lifestyle modifications, and integrative approaches tailored to individual patient needs. With experience in both OPD and Panchakarma settings, I approach each patient with empathy, attentiveness, and a commitment to delivering authentic Ayurvedic care. My goal is to help patients achieve long-term wellness through natural healing methods rooted in traditional Ayurvedic knowledge.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
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.
