Hello Zainab, You’re just 20, and your skin is clearly reacting to internal imbalance not just surface issues. What you’re facing now cheek acne, red breakouts, open pores, dark circles, and patchy uneven tone all point to Pitta overload with toxin (Ama) accumulation, poor lymphatic drainage, and hormonal stress, likely worsened by diet, sleep pattern, or emotional triggers.Earlier in your teens, the acne was limited to your forehead this usually suggests heat rising from digestion or early hormonal shifts. But now, the deeper involvement of cheeks, discoloration, and open pores shows rasa dhatu dushti (depleted skin nourishment), rakta dushti (blood impurities), and possibly a weakened digestive fire. The skin remembers everything poor food, late nights, stress, even past medications and eventually shows it.

Don’t worry with regular care and internal cleansing, the skin can regain its tone and clarity.

Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks minimum):

Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (to clear Pitta and toxins) Manjisthadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before meals, twice daily Sarivadyasava – 15 ml + 15 ml water after meals Nimbadi Guggulu – 2 tablets after lunch and dinner Raktachandanadi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily for pigmentation

External Care:

Face wash: Use mild turmeric + green gram flour paste or a natural neem-based cleanser Steam with neem or Triphala decoction once a week Aloe vera gel (pure) or Kumkumadi Taila at night for dark patches and scars Sandalwood paste + rosewater 3 times a week helps lighten marks

Pathya :

Start your day with warm water + 1 tsp cow ghee Eat light meals: moong dal, lauki, drumstick, neem leaves (in cooked form) Add turmeric, jeera, methi, dhania in daily food Take soaked 5 almonds + 7 raisins every morning Bedtime: 1 tsp Triphala powder in warm water Avoid Completely (Apathya): Cold drinks, curd, chocolate, cheese Bakery food, sugar, fried snacks, coffee Late nights, oversleeping in the day Heavy makeup or harsh face washes

Blood Tests (if not done):

CBC Vitamin D3 Vitamin B12 TSH Fasting sugar and insulin

Your skin is trying to tell you it’s overloaded inside. But the good part is it can absolutely be healed. Your glow isn’t gone it’s just buried under heat, toxins, and imbalance. Ayurveda can bring it back gently, steadily, and permanently with internal purification and simple lifestyle discipline.

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

You are young, and your skin has a strong capacity to regenerate. Let your inner health reflect as outer glow- this is the ayurvedic way

For your acne and skin concerns, Ayurveda considers this primarily as an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism in your body. When Pitta is aggravated, it results in inflammatory conditions like acne. Over time, imbalanced Pitta can also lead to skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation.

To address this, start with your diet. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods as they increase Pitta. Instead, emphasize cooling foods such as cucumbers, watermelon, and leafy greens. Incorporate oatmeal and barley, which can help absorb excess oil. Drink plenty of water, infused with a few mint leaves or fennel seeds, to naturally cool your system.

Start your day with a glass of warm water boiled with 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder. Turmeric is great for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Use it in moderation, though, as too much can aggravate Pitta.

Externally, you might apply a paste made from sandalwood powder and rose water to your face. Sandalwood has been known in Ayurveda to have a cooling and soothing effect on the skin. Leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. Repeat this 2-3 times a week.

Addressing open pores may include using neem, which has cleansing properties. You can create a neem leaf paste and apply it weekly.

For your dark circles, consider using almond oil. Gently massage a few drops around your eyes before bed, which can help lighten the area over time.

Ensure you maintain a regular sleep cycle; lack of sleep can increase stress, further aggravating Pitta and causing skin issues. Practicing yoga or meditation regularly will also aid in balancing your dosha.

If symptoms persist, consider consulting an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized advice. It’s essential not to delay medical consultation if any signs worsen, especially with potential underlying health implications.

To address ongoing skin problems like acne, open pores, and changes in skin tone from the perspective of Siddha-Ayurveda, it’s important to consider the underlying dosha imbalances. Acne and related skin issues could be linked to an imbalance in your pitta dosha, which is often connected to heat and inflammation in the body. Here’s a plan that may help:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Minimize spicy, oily, and processed foods which can aggravate pitta. Incorporate cooling foods like melons, cucumber, and coconut water. Aloe vera juice taken on an empty stomach can help reduce body heat.

2. Herbal Support: Herbs like neem, turmeric, and a paste of sandalwood can be useful. A regular face mask made from sandalwood powder mixed with rose water may help soothe inflammation and reduce dark patches.

3. Detoxification: Consider a gentle detox or panchakarma treatment under the guidance of a qualified Ayurveda practitioner to reduce pitta from your system.

4. Oil Massage (Abhyanga): Use coconut oil or herbal oils designed to balance pitta, like bhringaraj oil, to perform self-massage before bathing.

5. Sleep & Relaxation: Quality sleep is crucial. Avoid screens before bed, and try practices like yoga or meditation which can help balance pitta.

6. Regular Skincare Routine: Use mild, natural cleansers and avoid harsh chemicals that can worsen irritation. Be gentle with exfoliation and avoid over-washing that can strip the skin of natural oils.

7. Consultation: If symptoms persist or worsen, seek consultation with an Ayurvedic specialist who can provide a personalized treatment based on your prakriti.

Lastly, if you experience severe symptoms or sudden changes, promptly consult a healthcare professional. These suggestions aim to balance and nurture, respecting the wisdom of one’s own body, without replacing needed medical interventions.

HELLO ZAINAB,

Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like your skin has gone through significant changes over the years. Chronic acne, open pores, pigmentation, and skin dullness can result from internal imbalances, especially when they persist over a long period. Ayurveda treats such conditions by balancing the doshas(vata, pitta, kapha), detoxifying the system, and rejuvenating the skin from within.

Your symptoms suggest a pitta-kapha imbalance, which is common in chronic acne and skin discolouration. Here’s a breakdown -Pitta imbalance leads to inflammation, redness, acne and sensitivity -Kapha imbalance contributes to oiliness, clogged pores, and dull complexion -Vata involvement if any may cause dark circles, dryness or patchy skin tone.

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT

1) INTERNAL DETOXIFICATION If symptoms are chronic (singe age 13), a gentle internal detox is essential.

PANCHAKARMA -VIRECHANA(purgation therapy )= removes excess pitta; clears liver and blood -NASYA(nasal drops)= clears toxins from the head region- great for forehead acne and dark circles. -RAKTAMOKSHANA(bloodletting)= in some cases, done for severe acne

2) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS FOR SKIN ACNE, DISCOLORATION, AND OPEN PORES

-NEEM CHURNA= 1 tsp powder with warm water for 3-6 months =strong blood purifier, antibacterial, anti inflammatory- targets acne and infections

-MANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily before meals = improves blood circulation, reduces pigmentation and inflammation, supports liver detox

-SARIVADI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =soothes pitta, detoxifies blood, enhances complexion

-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp powder at night with warm water = cleanses colon, regulates digestion, supports natural detox

-KHADIRARISHTA= 20 ml with warm water after meals twice daily = used for chronic skin diseases- purifies blood, reduces itching, and controls acne

-AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tabs twice daily after meals =liver support, reduces excess oil, balances pitta, improves digestion

-GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals = Antimicrobial, improves skin immunity, controls acne pus forming lesions

3) TOPICAL AYURVEDIC REMEDIES

A) FACE PACKS -multani mitti + neem powder + rose water (for oil control and acne) -sandalwood powder + turmeric + milk = for pigmentation and cooling

B) STEAM -neem or tulsi leaf steam once a week opens pores and reduces oiliness

C) FACE OILS -Kumkumadi taila=helps reduce pigmentation , dark circles and uneven tone(apply at night) -Jatyadi taila= if acne is inflamed and needs healing

4) DIET AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES

AVOID -spicy, oily, fried foods -dairy- milk, cheese = increases kapha -sugar,soft drinks - late nights and high stress

INCLUDE -warm water with lemon in morning= clears toxins -green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits -whole grains=barley, wheat -herbal teas= cumin-coriander- fennel -aloe vera juice= pitta balance

5) YOGA AND LIFESTYLE

PRANAYAM= especially sheetali and nadi sodhana

YOGA -sarvangasana -halasana -bhujangasaana= all improves blood flow to face

Get enough Sleep and reduce screen time

IMPORTANTLY -always use non-comedogenic and natural skin care products -Ayurvedic treatment works gradually but deeply

THANK YOU

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

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

Dr. 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. Isha Bhardwaj
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.

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.
