Dr. Vineet Prajapati
I am currently practicing at Pranav Ayurveda Clinic in Saharanpur, since Jan 2025, where I’m mainly into chronic conditions—like joint probs, gut issues, hormonal disbalance and ya lots of skin stuff too. I usually go deep into patient history, n then plan out stuff like classical formulations or detoxes (Panchkarma mostly), sometimes Rasayan therapy if it’s really needed. I’m pretty comfortable with Nadi pariksha & Prakriti typing, but tbh I do check modern reports too when necessary—just to get full picture. I also handle most of the Panchkarma therapies here, Vamana, Basti, Virechan etc., and kinda pay lot of attn to hygiene & patient comfort during those. We keep things traditional but also, like, safe & realistic. There’s this part I really enjoy—teaming up with yoga folks n dietitians, we try to build seasonal or Dosha-specific healing routines. Makes a lot more sense than doing just meds right? Like it becomes a whole thing. I also follow up quite close on my cases—checking how things are moving, tweaking the meds or therapies if required. Outside consults, I get involved in awareness events—sharing stuff on Ritucharya, Dincharya, or daily Ayurvedic hacks that ppl actually find useful. And yah, I also help with product ideas in clinic's herb lab...making sure we don’t lose the authentic touch in formulas, which matters lot these days. Working here really taught me how different every case can be—even when the symptoms sound same. And that's kinda what keeps me grounded in Ayurveda.

Many people face the concern of dark patches around the armpits, neck, and knees, even if the rest of their skin is fair. This usually happens due to accumulated toxins (Ama), friction, lack of exfoliation, hormonal imbalance, or even use of harsh chemical deodorants and soaps. Here is the prescription - 1. Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime 2. Manjishthadi Kwath – 20 ml twice daily after meals with equal water 3. Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at night 4. Local application daily before bath Mix - besan (2tsp) + haldi (1/4tsp)+ ystimadhu powder(1tsp) with raw milk or rose water make a paste apply for 15min scrub gently while washing off 5. Lemon + honey equal parts for 10 min 2-3 times a week 6. Kumkumadi taila massage at night daily

Drink plenty of water with lemon to detoxify, include green vegetables, amla, beetroot to diet. Avoid scrubing to hard or wearing any chain or ornament or necklash

Dr. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

HELLO HARSH,

In Ayurveda, skin discolouration is often linked to -imbalanced pitta and kapha doshas -accumulation of ama(toxins) due to improper diet and lifestyle -friction of blocked sweat glands causing localised discolouration

STEP BY STEP MANAGEMENT

1) DAILY CLEANSING AND EXFOLIATION Use mild ayurvedic ubtans 3-4 times a week to remove dead skin and toxins

mix the following -2 tsp besan(gram flour) - 1 tsp turmeric powder(raw turmeric or Kasturi manual preferred) -1 tsp sandalwood powder-cooling and lightening -2 tsp milk or rose water to make a paste add a few drops of lemon juice- 2-3 drops

-apply to underarms, knees, and neck -leave for 15-20 minutes -gently scrub while washing off

2) NATURAL DE- TANNING REMEDIES

KUMKUMADI TAILAM -apply 2-3 drops on dark areas at night. massage gently -coontains sandalwood, saffron, manjistha= all excellent for pigmentation and brigthening

ALOE VERA AND LEMON PASTE -mix fresh aloe vera gel with few drops os lemon juice -apply leave for 15 minutes, then rise -use 2-3 times/week

3) INTERNAL DETOXIFICATION To eliminate ama and balance pitta/kapha

-MANJISHTA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after meals =detoxifying and skin purification

-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =mild laxatives, clears toxins from the gut

-NEEM CAPSULES= 1 cap after lunch =anti bacterial and helps clear skin

4) EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS -lodra Churna- 1 tsp -manjistha churna- 1 tsp -sariva churna- 1 tsp =mix with rose water or honey for topical applications 2-3 times/week

5) BATHING -bathe using multani mitti + sandalwood powder+ rose water -avoid harsh soaps and chemical deodrants -use alum stone post bath for underarms-natural deodoriser and skin tonner

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -warm, freshly cooked meals -bitter, astringent, and light foods -leafy greens, turmeric, lentils -stay hydrated= 8-10 glasses water / day -exercise moderately to promote circulation

AVOID -spicy,fermented and oily foods -caffeine and alcohol -synthentic deodorants can cause pigmentation over time

AYUREDIC FORMULATIONS(OPTIONAL USE) -vicco tuemric cream= herbal, helps with pigmentation -Kumkumadi taila= buy only kottakal, kama ayurveda or kerala ayurveda brand -chandanadi taila= for cooling and brightening the skin

Result take consistent application over 4-6 weeks especially with natural therapies.

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

To address the darkness in your underarm, neck, and knees, Ayurvedic principles can offer some practical solutions. In Ayurveda, discolaration often connects to aggravated doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha. Let’s work on balancing your internal and external environment.

One cause may be excess friction or sweat; wearing loose, cotton clothing can help reduce irritation. When it comes to detanning, natural exfoliation is key. Create a gentle scrub using chickpea flour (besan) mixed with a pinch of turmeric and curd. Apply this paste to the affected areas, leave it for about 10-15 minutes, and then wash off with warm water. This routine, when done 2-3 times a_week, can help lighten the skin tone gradually.

Additionally, oil massage can be very beneficial. Use coconut or sesame oil with a few drops of sandalwood oil. Massage gently before a shower, allowing the oils to penetrate the skin. You can leave the oil on for about 20 minutes before rinsing it off. Regular oil massage helps in reducing skin dryness and maintaining optimal moisture — a recommendation straight out of sutras.

Pay attention to your diet, as well. Include foods that balance Pitta and Kapha, like bitter gourd, leafy greens, and pumpkin. Avoiding processesed foods, excess sugar, and hot and spicy items can help reduce skin issues related to Pitta imbalance.

To enhance metabolism and aid detoxification, drink warm water with lemon and honey in the morning. This can aid your digestion and improve skin complexion over time.

Lastly, do ensure good hydration and adequate rest, which are often overlooked but critical for balanced skin health. By addressing these areas holistically, utilizing the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, you may notice gradual improvement in the skin color of underarms, neck, and knees.

Darkening of areas like the armpits, behind the neck, and knees often indicates an imbalance in the body’s doshas, especially an uneven distribution of vata and kapha. Accumulation of sweat, friction, poor circulation, and even dietary factors like excessive intake of salty or spicy food could contribute to this issue. Let’s look at some Siddha-Ayurvedic ways to address this.

First, focus on improving local circulation and exfoliation. Use a gentle paste made from chickpea flour (besan), a pinch of turmeric, and milk. Mix these into a paste and apply to the affected areas. Leave it on for 15 minutes before gently scrubbing and rinsing off. This should be done 2-3 times per week. Turmeric helps to even out skin tone, while chickpea flour acts as a natural exfoliant.

Incorporate certain herbal oils that can balance excessive vata and kapha and rejuvenate the skin. A daily massage using kumkumadi oil can improve skin texture and hue over time. Warm a few drops and massage it gently onto darkened areas, leaving it on overnight whenever possible.

Additionally, aim to include more skin-friendly foods in your diet. Increase intake of fresh fruits, leafy greens, and hydrating foods to nourish the dhatus and enhance circulation. Reduce heavy, oily, or very spicy foods that could aggravate kapha.

Hydration also plays a key role. Sip on water infused with herbs like coriander or fennel seeds throughout the day to not only hydrate the skin but also to aid detoxification.

If these methods do not lead to improvement, or if you notice the areas becoming more aggressive or experiencing symptoms like itching or discomfort, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying health condition like acanthosis nigricans, which might require more specific medical intervention.

Remember, these remedies should harmonize with your daily routine, without inducing any distress. Avoid harsh chemicals and synthetic products, focusing on gentle, consistent care instead.

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. Raghuveer SN
I am someone who kinda took the long road into Ayurveda, and maybe that’s why it feels personal everytime I talk to a patient. I started my clinical life as a duty doc at VBR Multispeciality Hospital—those shifts were long, and the learning curve was wild. But it taught me how to listen, really listen... and to not panic when ten things are going wrong at once. I dealt with all sorts of cases, some routine, some totally unexpected. That early exposure really shaped how I approach patient care today—head clear, eyes open, heart in it. Then in 2021, I set up Prakriti Healthcare. That was a big move. I wanted to build a space that was quiet but also healing—not flashy, just solid care. I started working more with chronic lifestyle conditions—people with sugar issues, stress burnout, PCOD, digestive messups. Using Ayurvedic tools but adjusting them to fit actual modern lives—like helping someone do a basic Dinacharya routine even if they had back-to-back meetings on Zoom. I’m not into textbook preaching. It has to fit into your life or what’s the point? In 2023, I joined Wellness by Heartfulness. That role honestly stretched me. Suddenly I was doing more community work, grounding my practice in mindfulness, Sattvik lifestyle principles, and supporting people who were looking for preventive answers, not just symptom relief. It made me realize how much people crave balance, not bandaids. Then Feb 2025, I started working as a medical reviewer with PharmEasy. That was different. I wasn’t treating patients directly, but I was helping people make better health decisions just by writing clearly, checking facts, simplifying confusing terms. It mattered, even if nobody knew my name on those articles. My goal? Keep learning, stay real, and always make sure whatever I’m doing actually helps someone—whether that's in person, on a call, or through a screen. Healing shouldn’t feel complicated. It should feel possible.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
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. 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. Ayush Varma
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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
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. 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. 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. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Suchin M
I am someone who’s honestly just really drawn to how deep Ayurveda goes—like really deep—not just treating what’s showing on the surface but getting into what’s actually causing it underneath. I really believe that even those complicated lifestyle diseases, stuff like diabetes or BP or obesity that people think they’ll just have to live with forever, can totally be managed with Ayurvedic principles. Not magically or overnight, but through proper diagnosis, diet tweaks, daily habits, and herbs that actually work if you use them right. That’s the part I focus on—making Ayurveda work practically, not just in theory. After finishing my BAMS, I’ve worked with chronic conditions for over a year now in clinical setups. Mostly patients dealing with long-term stuff that doesn’t go away with one pill—usually the kind of disorders rooted in stress, wrong food choices or too much sitting. I’ve seen that if you really listen first, like actually listen—hear their story, feel where they’re coming from—half the work’s already done. Then when you assess their Prakriti, figure out where the doshas are out of balance, and connect that with their history (plus any modern test reports they might bring), it gives you this full picture that’s so valuable. My treatment plans aren't one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s about bringing agni back into balance. Sometimes just clearing aam helps. Most people are shocked that things like bloating or even periods issues can shift just by aligning food and herbs with their constitution. And if the case is acute or there’s a red flag, I have no problem referring for emergency allopathic care. Integrative care makes sense—Ayurveda doesn’t have to be isolated from modern medicine. My aim? It's not just to fix a symptom. I want people to feel at ease in their own body again. To build habits they don’t need to break later. To know their own rhythm, not just follow some generic health trend. That’s what Ayurvedic healing means to me... not perfect, but real.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.
