Comedogenic acne, often aggravated by popping, can be a sign of an imbalance in your doshas, particularly involving pitta and kapha. The initial step is to address the aggravated Pitta, which often manifests as inflammation and irritation. Consider incorporating a diet that pacifies pitta, such as avoiding excessively spicy, oily, or fried foods and reducing your intake of sour items. Instead, encourage the consumption of cooling and astringent foods like cucumbers, melons, and pomegranate.

To directly address your skin, you can apply a paste made of sandalwood powder mixed with rose water. This not only soothes irritation but also reduces excess oil. You may apply this paste thinly over affected areas and leave it on for about 15 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. Perform this routine every alternate day. Additionally, consuming neem or amla (Indian gooseberry) can support detoxification. These herbs can be taken as a drink or in powdered form, once a day, in the morning preferably.

Hydration is key – maintain adequate water intake throughout the day. However, keep your skin clean but do not over-wash as it could turn make things worse. Use a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser no more than twice a day.

Lastly, if these strategies don’t show improvement or if your acne worsens, you might want to see a professional for a personal evaluation. The underlying causes can sometimes be more complex, requiring a tailored approach. Balancing the doshas holistically, by means of yoga and regular meditative practices, plays a crucial role in the overall healing process.

Simple Remedies

1. Apply aloe vera jelly and honey to face and leave it for 20 min. then wash with warm water added with 50ml of decoction of triphala.

2. Apply powders of coriander, turmeric, sandalwood with coarse powder of rice or Chana Dal.

3. For oily skin wash with decoction of Triphala & Azadirachta indica.

Classical Formulations

Manjishthadi kasahya-2-3 tsf with water thrice a day.

Patoladi Kashaya-2-3 tsf with water thrice a day.

Diet and Lifestyle

Pathya

Keep the skin clean. Beware of certain cosmetics; they aggravate a problem which might not otherwise exist.

Wash twice a day with soap; it was made to remove oil. Hot soapy water is even better. Ivory soap is a more drying soap than many others. Scrub the skin with soap and water.

Apathya

Avoid smoking; it increases the size of your skin pores and weakens the skin generally.

hello Megha lakhera, You’re 19, and having comedogenic acne with painful pustules for almost a year now and your skin feels irritated and inflamed. This means your Pitta is aggravated along with Kapha blockage in the skin channels (Rakta + Medo dhatu). The habit of popping acne likely aggravated inflammation, but luckily you don’t have scars that’s a good sign and tells us your Rakta dhatu (blood tissue) is still strong and can recover well with care.

Let’s work on cleansing the blood, cooling the Pitta, and clearing the blocked skin channels.

Internal Medicines (Minimum 6 weeks) Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp at night with warm water (to clear gut heat) Sarivadyasava – 15 ml + 15 ml water after meals twice a day Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after food (acts as anti-inflammatory and detoxifying) Manjishtadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before meals Yashtimadhu Churna – ½ tsp with warm water in morning (for irritated skin)

External Care Face Wash: Use Triphala decoction or herbal face wash with neem + manjistha Face Pack (3x/week): Mix Multani mitti + Neem powder + Sandalwood + Rose water – apply for 10–15 mins, rinse with cool water Steam: Take Neem leaf steam once a week – don’t scrub Toner: Dab rose water + vetiver water mix after cleansing

Pathya (What You Should Eat & Do) Start your day with soaked 5 raisins + 2 figs + 5 almonds (peeled) Include beetroot, lauki, bitter gourd, moong dal, turmeric in diet Drink coriander seed water or fennel water daily Sleep before 10.30 pm – avoid phone screen 1 hr before Do Chandra Bhedana pranayama, Bhramari in morning (cooling breathwork)

Apathya (What to Strictly Avoid) Curd, milkshakes, cheese, chocolate Oily, spicy, fried or junk food Cold drinks and fridge water Daytime naps and staying up late at night Touching or popping acne

Investigations (if problem persists) CBC TSH Serum Vitamin D3, B12 Fasting Insulin (to rule out hidden PCOD) Gut health check (stool routine, if bloating or constipation)

Your acne is definitely treatable with proper internal cleansing and Pitta-Kapha balance. You’re young, and if you start now with discipline, your skin can clear up without scars and regain its glow. The irritation you’re feeling is your skin asking for internal cooling and external gentleness not scrubbing or popping.

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

Comedogenic acne and pustules can be stubborn, especially with sensitive skin. In Ayurveda, we focus on balancing the doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha, which might be contributing to your symptoms. The irritation you’re experiencing can stem from excessive heat (Pitta) and stagnation (Kapha) in the skin channels.

1. Dietary changes: Begin with a Pitta-pacifying diet. Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods. Incorporate cooling foods such as cucumber, sweet fruits (like apples and pears), and leafy greens. Drink plenty of water, but avoid cold beverages. Herbal teas like coriander and fennel can help to cool the body.

2. Herbal remedies: Neem is highly recommended for acne due to its blood purifying and cooling properties. You can take neem capsules as directed or apply a neem paste topically. Turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory effects, can also be applied as a mask. Mix turmeric powder with water or rose water to apply over affected areas.

3. Skin care routine: Keep it simple. Clean your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser suitable for sensitive skin and follow it up with a non-comedogenic, oil-free moisturizer. Use products that are free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. A weekly face mask made from multani mitti (fuller’s earth) mixed with rose water can help absorb excess oil and soothe irritation.

4. Lifestyle adjustments: Ensure you get enough sleep and manage stressors, as both can exacerbate skin conditions. Yoga and meditation can be beneficial in reducing stress levels.

5. Avoid popping acne: This can increase irritation and inflammation. If necessary, consult with a dermatologist for safe extraction methods or treatments.

6. Medical attention: If acne remains persistent or worsens, it might be best to consult a healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions or consider medical treatments that can complement Ayurvedic care.

Remember, consistency is key, and while changes may not be immediate, gradually you’ll see your skin start to improve.

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 MEGHA,

Based on your description= comedogenic acne, pustules with pain, sensitive and irritated skin, and a history of popping acne

Your skin issue seems to be a combination of -Comedones(blocked pores- whiteheads and blackheads -Inflammatory acne- pustules with pain -sensitive skin, worsened by touching/ popping acne.

In Ayurveda, this typically relates to an imbalance in pitta and kapha doshas -pitta aggravation-> inflammation, redness,irritation -Kapha aggravation-> oiliness, clogged pores

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals =purifies blood , reduces inflammation

2) NEEM CAPSULES= 2 cap daily in morning =detoxifies blood and skin

3) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =helps regulate liver and skin health

4) MANJISTHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with honey after meals =reduces pigmentation and pitta

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= at bedtime 1 tsp with warm water =detox and digestion support

TOPICAL CARE- FOR SENSITIVE, ACNE-PRONE SKIN

CLEANSING(twice daily) -mild herbal cleanser with neem, tulsi or aloe vera =avoid foaming, drying cleansers

TONING(very helpful) -rose water or diluted apple cider vinegar(few drops in water) =dab lightly using cotton- reduces inflammation

MOISTURIZING -aloe vera gel(Pure) or kumkumadi taila(non comedogenic versions) at night in very small quantity =avoid heavy creams or oils

SPOT TREATMENT -paste of neem + turmeric + sandalwood with rosewater- apply on acne spots only

DIET AND LIFESTYLE(very important)

AVOID -fried, oily, spicy, and fermented foods -milk and dairy esp. cold milk or panner -excess sugar or junk foods -heavy night meals or late eating

INCLUDE -warm water sipping through the day. -fresh fruits- pomegranate, papaya ,amla -light, digestible meals -turmeric in food or golden milk at night if tolerated

MIND AND DIGESTION CONNECTION -stress increases acne. Try pranayam(anulom-vilom, sheetali) daily -Maintain bowel regularity with triphala or fibrous food (flaxseeds, warm water with lemon in morning)

SIMPLE HOME AYURVEDIC MASK -1 tsp multani mitti -1/4 tsp turmeric -1/2 tsp sandalwood powder -rose water to make a paste apply gently, avoid scrubbing, leave for 10-15 minutes and rinse with cool water. Follow with aloe vera.

WHAT TO AVOID -scrubbing or over washing -picking or popping acne(can trigger more irritation even if no scarring now) -overuse of cosmetic products or facials -using hot water on face

THANK YOU

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
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. Hemanshu Mehta
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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
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. 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.
