Dr. Veena Vijayan
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.

Hope your problem confined to the scalp. Initially you need some medicine which helps to heal the lesions with oozing. Use Water boiled with neem or nalpamara or asanadi kashaya powder in luke warm condition. Wash the scalp by pouring this water mix in plenty. Once the oozing stops, give head massage with nalpamaradi coconut oil Internally you should take Kaishora guggulu tab 1-1-1 after food Mahamanjishtadi kashaya 3tsp bd before food Arogyavardhini vati 1-1-1 after food

HELLO DINO,

Scalp psoriasis is a chronic skin condition caused by a misdirected immune response that makes skin cells grow too fast and accumulate in the scalp. This leads to -itchy, red, inflamed skin -thick , white or silvery scales -sticky discharge (in severe or infected cases) -burning or stinging sensation -hairfall due to constant itching and inflammation

IS IT CONTAGIOUS? No, psoriasis is not contagious- it does not spread from one person to another

In Ayurveda, this condition resembles Eka Kushtha, a type of chronic skin disease involving -vata and Kapha dosha imbalance -rakta dhatu duushti (blood impurity) -accumulation of ama(toxins)

ROOT CAUSES IN AYURVEDA -improper digestion-> toxins(ama) -excessive oily/salty/ sour foods -mental stress -suppression of natural urges -irregular eating and sleeping patterns

TREATMENT GOAL -reduce inflammation and itching -eliminate toxins (ama) and purify the blood -balance vata and kapha doshas -rejuvinate skin and hair follicles -prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS These works from within to purify blood, remove toxins, and improve skin health

1) KAISHOR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =blood purifier, anti-inflammatory, balances pitta-kapha

2) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =liver detox, improves digestion, clears skin eruptions

3) MAHATIKTAKA GHRITA= 1 tsp in warm water in morning empty stomach =corrects deep tissue impurities . enhances skin immunity

4) GANDHAKA RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals =natural sulphur, heals skin and reduces itching and infection

5) PANCHATIKTA KASHAYA= 40 ml twice daily before meals with water =bitter decoction to purify blood, reduce plaques

TYPICALLY CONTINUE THIS FOR 6-12 WEEKS

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS these help to soften scales, reduce infection and relieve itching

OILS(apply 30-60 minutes before bath) -NEELIBRINGADI TAILA= strengthens hair, reduces itching -DURVADI TAILA= especially helpful if there’s sticky fluid or oozing

-Warm a little oil, apply on scalp, massage gently. leave for 30-60 mins, then wash off with herbal shampoo

HERBAL SHAMPOOS

1) SASLIC DS= removes thick flakes 2) SCALPE + SHAMPOO= antifungal, reduces infection 3) TRICHUP HERBAL ANTI-DANDRUFF SHAMPOO= gentle daily use- option

Use medicated shampoos twice weekly. herbal shampoo on other days if needed

HOME REMEDIES

1) ALOE VERA GEL= fresh aloe applied directly to the scalp soothes and cool

2) NEEM PASTE= mix neem powder with water, apply for 30 mins before washing

3) TURMERIC MILK= 1/2 tsp turmeric + warm milk at bedtime improves skin from within

4) COCONUT OIL + CAMPHOR= soothes severe itching for dry scalp only don’t use if sticky or discharge is present

DIET SHOULD BE FOLLOWED diet is half the treatment in Ayurveda,

AVOID -sour curd, pickles, cheese -fermented foods- idli,dosa -seafood especially shellfish -tomato, brinjal, spinach-heating in nature -cold drinks, ice creams -excess salt, jaggery, refined sugar -reheating food

EAT MORE -warm, freshly cooked meals -moong dal, rice, bottle gourd, pumpkin -bitter vegetables= neem, karela, methi -whole wheat or millet based rotis -ghee in small amounts- improves digestion and skin

YOGA AND PRANAYAM These help balance stress, which worsens psoriasis

YOGA ASANA -shashankasana -bhujangasana -sarvangasana -paschimottanasana

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana -sheetali pranayam -bhramari

PRACTICE 20-30 MINS DAILY, especially in morning

INVESTIGATIONS TO RULE OUT UNDERLYING ISSUES

1) CBC, ESR= check for signs of inflammation 2) VITAMIN D,B12= deficiency may worsen symptoms 3) LIVER FUNCTION TEST= if long term medications is planned 4) SKIN BIPSY= if diagnosis is ulclear 5) FUNGAL CULTURE= if discharge is yellow/green(possible infection)

PANCHAKARMA THERAPIES(In clinic-detox) for chronic or resistant cases, consider -VIRECHANA= purgation to cleans pitta and toxins -TAKRADHARA= buttermilk poured on scalp-soothes itching -RAKTAMOKSHANA= bloodletting (leech therapy) for stubborn plaques -SHIROLEPAM= medicated paste applied to scalp

FINALLY 1) CONSISTENCY IS KEY= ayurvedic treatment takes time but it cures deeply

2) DON’T SUPPRESS NATURAL URGES= like bowel movement, urination or tears

3) STAY AWAY FROM STRESS= emotional triggers can worsen skin conditions

4) STICK TO EARLY DINNERS, REGULAR SLEEP, and minimal mobile use before bedtime

5) AVOID CHEMICAL HAIR PRODUCTS= use herbal/natural alternativs

6) TRIM NAILS- to avoid damage from scratching

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY FOR 6-12 WEEKS

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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.

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.

1) Dhatupatradi oil ext apply on scalp and massage for 10 min 2 times a day

2) madhusnuhi rasayana 1 tsf after food 2 times a day with water 3) scurfol lotion apply and leave for 30 min and then 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.

Scalp psoriasis indeed creates discomfort, characterized by itching, patches, and sometimes fluid discharge. In Ayurveda, this condition is often associated with an imbalance in doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha. Here’s how to manage this condition with an Ayurvedic approach.

First, tackle the itching and inflammation with a medicated scalp oil. Neem oil works well due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Mix equal parts of neem oil and coconut oil and apply this preparation onto your scalp. Let it sit for an hour before washing it out. Perform this routine two to three times per week to help soothe and manage the existing symptoms.

Consider your diet as well—Ayurveda strongly emphasizes food’s impact on health. Avoid heating, spicy foods, and fried snacks that can aggravate Pitta dosha. Instead, prefer a diet rich in fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, and cooling herbs like coriander and fennel. Drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated and help detoxify.

In terms of shampoo, opt for one containing Aloe Vera and Tulsi extracts. These natural ingredients are known for their soothing properties. Ensure it is free from harsh chemicals, which can further irritate the scalp.

An important element of Ayurvedic treatment is digestion. Use triphala powder—take half a teaspoon with warm water before bedtime to improve digestion, which aids in balancing doshas.

Lifestyle changes also play an essential role. Regular oil massage, yoga, and meditation can profoundly affect your stress levels, which can exacerbate psoriasis. Focus on managing stress through practices like deep breathing or yoga, especially in the early morning when the air is fresh and invigorating.

However, if the symptoms are severe or persistent, always consult with a healthcare professional for further diagnosis and tailored treatment plan. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following the above measures can significantly alleviate symptoms and promote overall scalp health.

Scalp psoriasis is a condition often marked by itching, patches, and sometimes fluid oozing which indicates skin inflammation and an imbalance in doshas, mainly pitta and vata. In Ayurveda, it’s vital to approach this both internally and externally for effective relief and to target the underlying causes.

First, focusing on a suitable diet can help reduce pitta and vata. Try to avoid spicy, fried, and hot foods. Opt for a cooling diet that includes fruits like melons and pomegranates, and vegetables like cucumbers and bitter gourd. Adequate hydration is also crucial; drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Externally, for your scalp, consider using a medicated oil like Neeli Bringadi or Kachayam prepared with herbs. These have cooling properties and can soothe the itching. Apply the oil gently onto the scalp and leave it on for at least an hour before washing it off with a mild, herbal shampoo. A shikkakai-based shampoo can be a good choice as it’s gentle and doesn’t strip the scalp of natural oils unnecessarily.

Additionally, a paste made with neem leaves and turmeric can be applied to the affected areas. Just grind fresh neem leaves with a pinch of turmeric and apply it on the patches; leave it for about 30 minutes before rinsing off. This helps in reducing the inflammatory signs and aids in detoxifying the skin.

Internally, Ayurvedic formulations like Mahatikta Ghrita or Guggul-based compounds can be beneficial. These work on purifying the blood and reducing inflammation. However, do consult with a qualified practitioner to find suitable formulations and dosages tailored to your unique constitution and symptoms.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s imperative to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any complications. Balancing the body’s doshas through tailored advice and consistent practice can help manage and reduce scalp psoriasis effectively.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. 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 DINO,

Scalp psoriasis can be persistent and uncomfortable , especially when there’s intense itching, scaling, and fluid discharge, as you mentioned. While its a chronic autoimmune condition

SYMPTOMS YOU MENTIONED -severe itching -patches on scalp -sticky fluid discharge - possibly sign of infection oozing psoriasis -AGE= 52 years -No other chronic illness

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) AROGYVARDHINI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =supports liver detox, skin healing, reduces excess pitta

2) PANCHATIKTA GHRITA = 1 tsp daily twice in morning and night with warm water =balances kapha- pitta , deeply purifies and rejuvinates skin tisues

3) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily with warm water before meals =blood purification, reduces inflammation and itching

4) SARIVADYASAVA= 15 ml with water twice daily after meals =reduces burning sensation, itching, cleanses blood

TOPICAL OILS AND SHAMPOOS

1) KARANJA TAILA= for oozing scalp/sticky scalp patches -apply oil on scalp at night or 30-60 min before bath

2) NEELIBRINGADI TAILA -alternate days when oozing reduces 1 hour before washing apply

3) TRIPHALA SHAMPOO= after oiling, clean scalp gently

Boil Neem leaves in water cool and use as last rinse for scalp

5) PSOROLIN CREAM= local application on scalp daily

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS -eat light, easily digestible meals -increase bitter, astringent, and pungent tastes -drink neem water or turmeric water in morning -avoid curd, dairy, red meat, seafood, alcohol -avoid fried, fermented, overly spicy food -no sour fruits like tamrind, citrus in excess

PANCHAKARMA (if condition is severely chronic) -virechana -takradhara -raktamokshana

IMPORTANT -If sticky fluid continues or worsens you may have a secondary bacterial infection which might need antibiotic or antifungal treatments along with ayurveda -do no scratch- it worsens lesions and increases the risk of infection -regular oil massage followed by a mild herbal shampoo can help -scalp psoriasis is manageable, but it requires consistency and patience.

THANK YOU

Dr. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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. Snehal Vidhate
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.

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. Prasad Pentakota
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. 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.

I am a doctor who completed CCH and CGO from Wadia hospital, and that training gave me exposure not just in theory but also in handling patients with very diverse needs. Over time I have treated many cases of chronic skin conditions, gut related disorders and also anorectal issues like piles, fissure and similar complaints. Each case felt different, no two patients respond the same way, and I learnt how to adapt treatment according to prakriti, diet habits, stress levels. Skin problems always catch attention first — psoriasis, eczema, acne that stays for years — but I understood that they often start from inside, from digestion or blood impurities. Gut issues like acidity, constipation, IBS are also common in my practice, and here small corrections in food timing or herbs can change a lot. Anorectal cases, especially piles and fissure, are painful both physically and mentally for patients, so I try to bring a treatment plan that is safe, non-invasive when possible, and focused on long term relief not just temporary fixes. Working with such variety of disorders also taught me patience. Some patients want fast results, but Ayurveda needs time to clean the root cause. I explain them carefully, sometimes repeating many times, that slow healing is stronger healing. Building that trust is important. My approach is always to combine herbal formulations, diet advice, and lifestyle correction with procedures when required, to ensure balance is restored and maintained. For me, Ayurveda is not a set of ready remedies but a flexible science that adapts to each person. Whether it’s skin, gut or anorectal problems, my focus stays on listening, understanding and guiding patients with clarity, honesty and steady support.

Dr. Sumit Tasgaonkar
I am Dr. Sumit S. Tasgaonkar — a BAMS doc who also went on to complete MS in Ayurveda surgery, along with CGO and PGDEMS. Kinda feels like I’m always learning. And maybe that’s what keeps me grounded — balancing classical Ayurvedic wisdom with real-time medical emergencies or even modern diagnostic tools. I don’t see these systems as opposites... for me, they compliment each other when you look closely enough. My work mostly revolves around chronic diseases, metabolic issues, lifestyle mess (and there’s plenty of it these days), and women’s health conditions — PCOS, hormonal imbalance, gynec stuff that needs long-term attention. I use Panchakarma, herbal meds, diet correction, sometimes just shifting someone’s daily habits does more than we expect. But it’s never one-size-fits-all. I take a lot of time getting to the root cause — dosha imbalance, agni disturbance, whatever is underneath the visible stuff. Patients dealing with arthritis, stress, skin flareups, digestion trouble — I’ve seen all of that and more. And every case teaches something new. I’m super keen on tracking progress too. Like we keep tweaking, adjusting as per prakriti and vikriti, not just protocol-for-all. And honestly, the most satisfying part? when patients tell me they feel like themselves again. I started Tasgaonkar Medical Foundation with a big dream of bringing authentic Ayurveda to more people, esp. rural areas where choices are limited. We still keep prices fair and try not to compromise on classical principles. Accessibility doesn’t mean diluting the science — that’s always been important to me. What I really want is to see more people actually understand their health. Not just pop pills or mask symptoms. I wanna give them the tools — through knowledge, through food, through breath — to live lighter and healthier. And ya, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes you doubt, sometimes you adjust everything mid-plan... but that's Ayurveda too. Listening, observing, and flowing with the body, not against it.

Dr. Chetana Yaramala
I am Dr. Chetana, an Ayurveda Consultant and MD (Ayurveda) with a little over 5 years of working closely with patients in authentic Ayurvedic practice. Even now, each consultation makes me pause at some point, trying to piece together the tiny clues—sleep changes, emotional weight, digestion shifts—that shape a person’s whole health story. Sometimes I catch myself thinking *wait, that small thing matters more than I thought,* and then I adjust the plan right there even if my notes look a bit scramblled. My specialization includes PCOS, infertility, thyroid disorders, skin & hair problems, joint disorders, autoimmune conditions and classical Panchakarma. These aren’t just separate topics for me—they often blend into each other. A hormonal imbalance shows up on the skin, an autoimmune flare connects with poor gut rhythm, or a thyroid disturbance shifts mood in quiet ways. I try to map these connections gently, though a mismatched comma or a mispelt word sneaks into my writing when I’m thinking faster than I type!! Working with women’s health concerns like PCOS and infertility taught me to slow down and listen deeper. Many patients hold their real worries until the end of the conversation, and that last-minute detail changes everything. Skin and hair issues require equal patience, watching the effect of agni, stress cycles, and seasonal patterns. Joint disorders and autoimmune issues push me to think more layered, creating treatment plans that don’t rush but rebuild stability bit by bit. Panchakarma is a core part of my practice. These therapies act quietly but deeply, resetting the body’s internal pathways over time. I plan them carefully—observing strength, digestive capacity, and mental steadiness—sometimes rewriting my own plan twice because something felt slightly off. Even if that looks messy on paper, it feels right when applied thoughtfully. My approach is to blend ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with a grounded modern understanding, not in a flashy way but in a steady, sustainable manner. I want patients to feel that healing doesn’t need to be overwhelming; it needs to be honest, consistent, and respectful of their own pace. I guide them through that process with clarity, empathy, and yes a few imperfect lines here and there, but always with a strong intention to bring real, long-lasting wellness.

Dr. Prajakta Kulkarni
I am Dr. Prajakta Kulkarni, an Ayurvedic physician and diet consultant with 15+ years into this field, and honestly—every year just keeps reminding me that food and healing aren’t separate things. My core focus is integrating Ayurvedic nutrition with actual modern dietary needs, like not everyone can live on kitchari and ghee alone, right? My goal’s always been to make Ayurveda feel doable, not distant. I run a global online Ayurvedic diet program—it’s now reached over 100 cities worldwide and still growing. The plan is simple but not basic: it’s tailored for each person’s constitution, goals, and health issues. Whether it’s weight issues, metabolism imbalance, IBS-type digestion drama, hormonal chaos, or even general fatigue—this program works by bringing the body back to balance through food that matches your dosha + condition. The 95% success rate? Not just marketing fluff. That’s real people writing back saying “hey I feel different now.” And that matters. Apart from diet work, I also offer home-based Panchakarma therapy—with Kerala-trained therapists, btw. Which means people can get authentic detox care (like abhyanga, virechana, nasya etc) without going into a clinic they’re not comfy in. I oversee the plan, make sure it suits their needs, and monitor the progress myself. Because I honestly don’t believe healing should come with discomfort or dread. My approach’s always about finding a midpoint between traditional Ayurvedic healing and practical daily life. I don’t tell people to do what isn’t possible for them. Instead, I build around what they can sustain, gently nudging them toward vitality, better digestion, stable energy, and a real sense of balance. It’s not about chasing perfection. It’s about feeling well and knowing how to stay there. At the heart of all this? Just one thing—making Ayurvedic wellness personal, effective, & actually livable in the modern world.
