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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Deepthi P
I am a practicing Ayurvedic physician with around 13 years now in this field—somewhere between hardcore clinical work and academic stuff too. My primary focus is Kaumarabhritya, which means I mostly work in Ayurvedic pediatrics, but I also treat adults across a pretty wide range of conditions. I’ve worked as an Assistant Professor in Ayurvedic colleges, mentored students, and collaborated with a few reputed institutions... not for name-dropping but just to say I’ve seen this system work in both classrooms and clinics. What really pulls me in is working with kids who have neurodevelopmental and behavioral challenges—things like autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, learning difficulties, and cerebral palsy. These are complicated conditions, and Ayurveda—when applied with care and consistency—can do more than people realize. I handle newborn care too, from basic immunity support to digestion or colic or sleep troubles, and that part of the job is oddly grounding. For adult patients, my work includes long-term management of chronic issues. I treat Vatavyadhi conditions (basically all the vata-based disorders), joint diseases like arthritis, neuromuscular stuff, skin problems—especially recurring ones like eczema, and lots of gut-related troubles, from IBS to grahani complaints. I don’t try to ‘fix’ everyone instantly or pretend like Ayurveda is magic—there’s real effort involved. I believe in deep diagnosis, using both classical methods and modern understanding of health behavior. Whether it’s through herbal protocols, diet correction, or lifestyle routines, I try to make each treatment plan doable—not just beautiful on paper. Results matter to people, and honestly they matter to me too. I still keep refining how I work with each prakriti, each family setup, each situation... because no two kids or adults are ever alike.

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. 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.

If I feel like the patient’s routine or prakriti needs a tweak, I also suggest an exercise plan. It’s not gym talk, I mean stuff that suits their doshas and energy. And I ask them to stick with it not out of pressure but bcoz consistency is kinda everything if you want real healing and not just temp relief. I do believe discipline matters. Like not the harsh kinda discipline, but the slow, quiet kind where ppl just stay true to their healing plan. That’s when body starts to change, symptoms slow down, and confidence builds. Also I try to keep the vibe human...not every condition is curable maybe, but every person is treatable, that’s the line I keep in mind. Every case teaches me something new too...and I don’t mind admitting I still pause before complicated diagnoses sometimes, not bcoz of doubt but because Ayurveda has layers, and it makes you think deeper if you're doing it honestly. I aim to bring that level of care to whoever walks in.
