I believe in treating the individual as a whole, not just the symptoms they present. My approach to healthcare is rooted in the Ayurvedic philosophy that the body, mind, and lifestyle are deeply interconnected. When you come to me for care, I don’t just focus on the surface-level issue—whether it's a headache, skin irritation, or digestive discomfort—I aim to understand the root cause behind it. For example, a recurring headache is never "just" a headache. I take the time to assess your digestion, sleep quality, emotional well-being, and daily habits. I believe that true healing begins when all systems of the body are brought into harmony. That’s why my treatment plans are always personalized—carefully tailored to your constitution, lifestyle, and current health status. I emphasize the importance of diet and routine in maintaining long-term wellness. I often guide my patients through sustainable lifestyle modifications, practical dietary advice, and herbal interventions that are safe, effective, and accessible. My goal is not only to relieve your present discomfort but to improve your overall quality of life—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I value building a trusting and open doctor-patient relationship where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're seeking support for chronic issues or looking to enhance your vitality through preventive care, I offer a compassionate, holistic, and evidence-informed approach that aligns with the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda.

It's happening mainly due to increase in pitta and vata in the body. Application of madhuyastyadi taila to entire body before bath in empty stomach (not even water). Mahamanjistadi kadha 2-2-2 tsp after food. Sarivadi vati 1-1-1 after food. *Have food on time when you are hungry. *Drink when you are thirsty. *Add ghee with hot food only. *Avoid spicy ,salty ,sour food. * milkshakes *Eat fresh food. Have a proper sleep. This will help. If the toxins are more and old , you may need a proper classic purgation therapy.

hello Arpita Paul, You're 26, and what you’re describing is a classic case of extremely sensitive, reactive skin with a tendency toward Pitta-Vata imbalance. In Ayurveda, this kind of skin is Teekshna + Rooksha + Rajas-dominant, meaning your skin is highly reactive to heat, friction, chemicals, and any synthetic product even if mild.Your skin barrier is thin and disturbed, which is why everything burns or irritates you and later leaves marks that are difficult to fade. The skin’s deep layers (Rasa-Rakta dhatu) are inflamed, dry, and undernourished. The key is not to use anything aggressive and instead heal the skin from within and outside using very gentle, natural approaches that reduce inflammation and rebuild skin resilience. Internal Medicines (for 6–8 weeks): Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp at night with warm water (to cool Pitta and prevent acidity) Sarivadyasava – 15 ml + 15 ml water after lunch and dinner Manjishtadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before food Haridra Khanda – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime (anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic) Ghee – 1 tsp with warm water on empty stomach daily (natural internal moisturizer) External Care (Minimal but Effective): Face & Body Wash Mix chandan powder + rose water + manjistha powder → apply gently, rinse with cool water. Never use soap, scrubs, or hot water. Spot Care / Dark Mark Fading Dab Kumkumadi Taila or Jatyadi Taila very lightly only at night on marks. Avoid this if you have any current rash or burning. Face Pack (once a week only) Mix masoor dal powder + aloe vera gel + pinch of haldi with cold milk → apply for 10 min, then wash with cool water. Pathya (Daily Practices): Drink coriander water (1 tsp dhania seeds soaked overnight, boil in morning and drink) Add ghee, turmeric, amla, beetroot, lauki to your diet Keep bowel movements regular — very important for skin clarity Sleep before 10.30 PM and avoid late night screen exposure Wear cotton clothing only. Avoid synthetic, wool, and tight clothes. Apathya (Avoid These): Curd, tomato, brinjal, coffee, spicy food Scrubbing, massaging, harsh face packs Over-washing your face or applying too many products Stress, anger, excessive sun exposure Investigations (if not done recently): Vitamin D3 Vitamin B12 LFT (Liver function test) Allergy Profile (optional) Hormone Profile (if hair fall/acne also present) This condition is treatable, but you have to go extremely gentle and minimal. Let your skin breathe, detox from inside, and rebuild its immunity. Once internal fire (Pitta) cools and dryness reduces, your skin will stop reacting and regain its natural calmness. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Dr. Karthika

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

My journey in the field began as a Medical Officer at Gareja PHC in Porbandar, Gujarat (2006–2008), where I gained valuable grassroots-level clinical experience. In 2008, I expanded my perspective by working as an Ayurvedic Consultant in Berlin, Germany, which enriched my understanding of global wellness expectations and integrative approaches. Since 2010, I have been serving as a Senior Ayurvedic Consultant at Aarsh Ayurveda Health Care in Porbandar. My core areas of expertise include classical Panchakarma therapies, Ayurvedic weight management, nutrition counseling, and Ayurvedic cosmetology. I have been managing Ayurvedic weight and lifestyle interventions since 2012 and have been practicing Ayurvedic cosmetology, including herbal skin and hair therapies, since 2015.

I believe that healing starts with being understood, and my consultative approach reflects this principle. My practice integrates traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a personalized plan that suits the unique prakriti (constitution) and needs of each individual. Currently, I am in the process of launching a dedicated Garbh Sanskar Centre, where expectant mothers can benefit from Ayurvedic prenatal care, emotional well-being programs, and classical rituals designed to support healthy conception, pregnancy, and fetal development. With over a decade of diverse Ayurvedic practice, I strive to offer authentic, evidence-rooted care in a modern context.

HELLO ARPITA PAUL, You have very sensitive skin. This means your skin reacts too quickly to things- face washes, creams, even natural products. This causes redness, itching, burning, and sometimes rashes. These reactions damage your skin and leave behind dark marks or spots. In Ayurveda, this is seen as a sign that your Pitta Dosha is high(pitta= heat and metabolism in the body). sometimes,vata dosh(dryness and sensitivity) is also involved. Your rakta dhatu (blood tissue) and twacha(skin) get inflamed and out of balance. TREATMENT GOALS 1) Calm your skin sensitivity by reducing inflammation and reactivity 2) Balance pitta and vata dosha in the skin and blood 3) Detox the blood and liver so that skin can heal better 4) Reduce and fade dark spots- hyperpigmentation and post inflammatory marks 5) Strengthen the skin's natural barrier so it can tolerate natural care 6) Prevent future flare ups by following long term diet and lifestyle changes INTERNALLY START WITH 1) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 15 ml with warm water twice daily before meals =purifies blood, reduces pigmentation 2) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =supports liver detoxx, clears skin toxins 3) SARIVADYASAVA= 15ml after meals twice daily mixed with water =pitta balance and blood purification 4) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =controls acid, improves digestion, reduces pitta 5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime every alternate days =detox for intestines, gentle bowel cleanser 6) GUDUCHI + NEEM CAPSULES= 1 each daily =boosts immunity, controls skin inflammation DURATION= Minimum 2-3 months EXTERNAL TREATMENT Multani mitti + rose water mask= apply for 10 min thrice weekly =soothes, cools, dries excess oil Sandalwood powder+raw milk mask= twice/week =lightens dark spots and calms skin Aloevera + turmeric gel= apply at night 2-3 times/week =healing and anti-inflammatory Kumkumadi taila(pure only)= 2-3 drops at night with light massage =improves glow, reduces pigmentation AVOID= commercial scrubs, soaps, foaming face washes, toners with alcohol DIET your diet plays a huge role in skin healing. Follow these food principles EAT -cooling foods= coconut water, cucumbers, melons, leafy greens -Pitta balancing fruits= pomegranate ,sweet apples, figs -Grains= rice, oats, wheat=avoid processed -Spices= coriander, fennel , turmeric -healthy fats= desi ghee(1 tsp daily), soaked almonds(4-5) AVOID -spicy, oily and deep fried foods -curd- especially at night, cheese, and heavy dairy -fermented food -pickles, vinegar - sour fruits- oranges, tomatoes, tamrinf -excess tea/coffee and white sugar LIFESTYLE CHANGES Daily routine= wake up early, have regular meals , sleep by 10 pm =balances hormones, improves digestion Oil massage= use coconut or sesame oil twice/weekk before bath =calms vata, nourishes skin Avoid overheating= hot showers, saunas, sunlight =aggravates pitta and skin flare ups Switch to cotton clothes= Avoid tight synthetic wear =prevents rashes, allows skin to breathe Stress management= do calming activities- walk, art, prayers, hobbies =reduces internal inflammation YOGA AND PRANAYAM (15-30 min/day) -Sheetali/Sheetakari= 10 min daily =cools the body, reduces pitta -Anulom vilom- 10 min =balances mind and doshas ASANAS -vajrasana -balasana -sukhasana -suryanamskar -facial exercises =10 minutes =calms nerves, good for digestion HOME REMEDIES 1) coconut oil + sandalwood powder= apply for 15 min to dark areas 2) Cucumber juice+ aloe vera gel= cooling, reduces inflammation 3) Soaked saffron in milk (1-2 strands overnight)= drink in the morning for skin brightness 4) Apply besan + turmeric + rose water mask once weekly 5) Drink warm water with a pinch of turmeric daily to cleanse blood gently You are experiencing a condition where your skin is too reactive and damaged easily, leaving behind marks that don't fade. This is due to imbalance internal pitta and weak skin immunity, instead of using many products, focus on cooling, healing, and blood purifying methods from within -Be gentle with your skin- less is more -focus on diet and detox to heal from inside -use natural external care that calms your skin, not irritates it -give it at least 2-3 months to see improvement SKIN HEALING TAKES TIME DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
