I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with specialized training in Marma therapy, Ayurvedic cosmetology, and anorectal treatments. My clinical focus lies in combining traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with practical, evidence-based techniques to offer patients natural and sustainable healing solutions. With hands-on expertise in Marma Chikitsa, I work on vital energy points to promote pain relief, enhance circulation, and restore balance across physical and emotional dimensions. In the field of Ayurvedic cosmetology, I address a variety of skin and hair concerns through individualized care that includes herbal applications, detox protocols, and dietary guidance aligned with one’s Dosha constitution. I believe true beauty radiates from inner wellness, and my treatments are designed to rejuvenate the skin, hair, and overall vitality without the use of harsh chemicals. My approach to anorectal disorders such as piles, fistula, and fissures is rooted in classical treatments, with an emphasis on Ksharasutra therapy and herbal formulations that minimize recurrence and improve patient comfort. My focus is not just on symptomatic relief, but on addressing the root cause through comprehensive care plans involving diet, lifestyle, internal medicines, and supportive therapies. I am deeply committed to personalized care, tailoring each treatment plan according to a detailed Ayurvedic assessment of the patient’s Prakruti (constitution) and Vikruti (imbalance). My goal is to help patients regain their optimal health and confidence through natural, time-tested healing methods that treat the individual as a whole—body, mind, and spirit.

1) castor oil for head massage 2) Wash hair in water boiled with amla (gooseberr) powder after cooling and filtering it. 3) Himalayas anti dandruff gel for application after drying the hair If possible better go for shaving your head and give head massage. So the hair will grow thick like before

hello puspendu ghosh, You're 25 and facing severe dandruff, hair fall, and visible scalp, which indicates that the problem is no longer superficial. When dandruff gets stuck and chronic, and hair begins thinning at the roots, Ayurveda sees this as a dual aggravation of Kapha (scalp congestion, oiliness, stuck flakes) and Vata (hair loss, thinning, dryness at roots). This condition is referred to as “Darunaka” and “Khalitya” in Ayurveda. When left untreated, it affects both Rasa and Asthi dhatus, leading to premature hair thinning and even receding hairlines. Let’s correct this from both internal and external sides. Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks): Gandhak Rasayan – 2 tablets twice a day after food (deep scalp cleansing & antifungal) Triphala Guggulu – 2 tablets twice a day after meals (to cleanse skin toxins and gut) Mahatikta Ghritam – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (to improve skin and scalp health) Bhringrajasava – 20 ml + 20 ml water after meals (to nourish hair roots) Khadirarishta – 20 ml + 20 ml water after lunch (clears dandruff, scalp itching) These are safe and effective classical combinations to address dandruff, follicle health, and hair nutrition. 2. External Care (Oil + Shampoo): Hair Oil: Use Bringamalakadi Taila or Sesa Ayurvedic Hair Oil (Brand: Sesa) Apply warm oil to scalp at night, 3 times/week. Gently massage and leave overnight or at least for 1 hour. Shampoo: Trichup Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (Brand: Vasu) – twice a week or Kesh King Anti-Dandruff Shampoo or Biotique Margosa Shampoo (for very sensitive scalp) Scalp Mask (weekly): Mix 1 tsp neem powder + amla powder + curd, apply to scalp, leave for 30 minutes, wash with lukewarm water. Avoid curd, cheese, sugary items, fried food, cold drinks – they increase dandruff Take warm water daily on waking with 1 tsp Triphala powder at night for gut cleaning Add methi seeds, curry leaves, black sesame, and ghee in diet Drink turmeric water or Triphala decoction every day Sleep before 11 PM and avoid stress – both worsen hair loss Investigations: Vitamin D3 Vitamin B12 Serum Ferritin TSH CBC Your condition is reversible if addressed early. With 6–8 weeks of regular internal cleansing and external hair root nourishment, you can stop the hair loss, remove dandruff, and restore hair volume and scalp strength. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Dr. Karthika

Dr. Khushboo
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.

Prevention Oatstraw and horsetail tea are rich in silicon and trace minerals. Rosemary helps prevent premature baldness and stimulate head circulation. Sage is an astringent, and helps stimulate growth. Yarrow helps liver activity.It is said that you must faithfully do your selected hair treatment for three months before you will see results. 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. 1) Bhringamalakadi Taila - extly apply and massage for 10 min. - 2 time 2) Jeevamrita Leha or Chyavanaprasha Leha-1 tsf 2 times with milk after food 3) Shuddha Shilajatu-250mg + Saptamrita Loha - 500mg + bhringaraja Churna -3gm - after food with honey and ghee 2 times For dandruff Apply Scurfol lotion leave it for 30 min and take bath Diet and Lifestyle Pathya A little sunlight is good for your scalp and hair. Keep calm and relaxed. It will help your hair. A short fast is a good way to begin the program. Then begin eating only nutritious foods. Anti-microbial shampoos are often recommended, but there is no evidence that this germkilling factor lessens the dandruff. To help control appearance, cleanse with a shampoo, designed to help control dandruff. Wash the hair in vinegar, to remove all the loose scales. Apathya Shampoos containing selenium sulfide can cause eye damage and hairloss. Plain water alone is also good. Reduce intake of fats, grease, and all fried foods from the diet. Stop the use of alcohol. Check to see if you have food allergies (wheat, dairy products, citrus, or something else). Avoid stress and poor elimination. Do not use strong, irritant shampoos or hair treatments. Avoid chocolate, sugar, white flour, and seafood.
