HELLO DEB,

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

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

Hlw Deb ji

Scalp psoriasis in Ayurveda is considered a manifestation of Kustha Roga (skin disease) with a dominant Kapha and Vata imbalance, often involving deep tissue toxins (Rakta Dushti).

Internal Medicines: 1. Gandhaka Rasayana Dose: 250–500 mg twice daily with warm water or milk 2. Arogya Vardhini Vati Dose: 250 mg–500 mg twice daily after meals 3. Patolakaturohinyadi Kashayam Dose: 15–30 ml twice daily before meals 4. Mahamanjistadi Kwath (or Kashayam) Dose: 15–30 ml twice daily with equal water 5. Haridra Khanda Dose: 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk or water

External (Topical) Applications:

1.Neelibhringadi Taila or Karanja Taila (for oiling the scalp) Apply: Warm oil gently on scalp 30–60 minutes before bathing, 3–4 times/week

2. Jatyadi Taila (if scalp has open lesions or bleeding) Action: Heals wounds, antiseptic, reduces burning

3. Psora Oil (herbal blend used in Ayurvedic practice) May be used at night and washed in the morning

4. Ayurvedic Anti-Dandruff Powders (like Triphala + Neem + Manjistha) – as a scalp pack. Mix with water or aloe gel, apply weekly.

Diet & Lifestyle Tips: Avoid (very important in psoriasis):

Fermented foods (curd, vinegar, cheese) Excess salt, sour, and spicy foods Fish and milk together (strictly avoid) Cold, refrigerated food, junk food Non-vegetarian foods (during flare-ups especially)

Favour: Warm, light, easily digestible foods Bitter vegetables (karela, neem, methi, dandelion greens) Moong dal, steamed vegetables, gluten-free grains if sensitive Turmeric, coriander, black cumin (kalonji)

Lifestyle & Panchakarma: Virechana (therapeutic purgation) – Excellent for chronic skin diseases. Should be done under supervision.

Takradhara (buttermilk pouring on scalp) – Soothes itching and reduces flare-ups

🧴Natural Remedies (supportive, not curative) Aloe vera gel (pure) – Apply on scalp to reduce itching

Neem water rinse – Boil neem leaves, cool the water, rinse scalp after shampoo.

Thank you!

Scalp psoriasis can be particularly troublesome, and given your situation, it’s important to approach it with a multifaceted strategy according to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. Typically, psoriasis is associated with an imbalance in vata and pitta doshas. To address this, let’s explore a few practical approaches you can take.

Firstly, internal medicine that helps with detoxification can be beneficial. For instance, taking Triphala churna – an ancient formulation consisting of three fruits – can help balance your doshas. Take about one teaspoon of Triphala churna with warm water before bed.

Next, consider Kutki powder (Picrorhiza kurroa) for its liver-cleansing properties. Mix half a teaspoon in warm water and consume it before meals. This traditional herb supports detoxifying processes and helps reduce pitta influence on the skin.

For external application, try neem oil due to its cooling and purifying nature. Apply it gently on the scalp and leave it for 30-60 minutes before washing it off with gentle herbal shampoo. Do this a couple of times a week, but test first to ensure no skin irritation.

On the dietary front, minimize spicy, salty, and oily foods as they can aggravate pitta. Since you mentioned you’re a non-vegetarian, try shifting focus toward more vegetarian meals, incorporating cooling foods, such as cucumber and watermelon. Avoid red meat as it is heat-inducing and can worsen symptoms.

Lifestyle changes are significant. Smoking can disrupt your body’s balance, so reducing or quitting smoking might prove beneficial over time. Regular practices like yoga and pranayama can help keep stress levels down and maintain balance.

If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional experienced in Ayurvedic treatments. It’s crucial to ensure the methods implemented suit your prakriti and condition. Remember, it’s a gradual process and requires patience and consistency.

To address scalp psoriasis effectively using Ayurveda, it’s essential to consider a comprehensive approach that includes dietary, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies. Psoriasis in Ayurveda is typically related to imbalances in the doshas, usually involving Kapha and Pitta. This requires managing excess heat and toxins in the body. Smoking can exacerbate this as it can increase Pitta, so reducing or quitting smoking is advisable.

Begin by incorporating specific herbs known for their effectiveness in chronic skin conditions. Turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, can help reduce the inflammation associated with psoriasis. Take turmeric in powdered form, about half a teaspoon, mixed with warm milk or water, once a day.

Reducing Pitta requires cooling therapies. Neem is an excellent herb with pitta-reducing properties. Take neem capsules (500 mg) once daily or boil a few neem leaves in water and use the decoction to rinse your scalp.

Triphala is useful for detoxification and maintaining bowel health, aiding in the elimination of toxins that exacerbate psoriasis. You can take Triphala churna at night before bed with warm water to regulate digestion.

For oils, use virgin coconut or sarsaparilla (Anantmool) oil, which can be gently massaged into the scalp to help soothe the skin. Apply it either at night and wash off in the morning or leave it for a minimum of 2 hours before washing it off.

Dietary changes are also crucial. Try to reduce your intake of spicy, oily, and salty food that may aggravate pitta. Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those rich in antioxidants. Hydration is vital: drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Focus on maintaining stress levels as stress can trigger or worsen psoriasis. Practice yoga and meditation to help manage stress and support your overall wellbeing.

Though these suggestions aim to support managing symptoms, it’s essential to consult a qualified Ayurvedic practioner for a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to your individual needs and constitution. It would be beneficial to have a deeper assessment to address the root cause effectively.

HELLO DEB,

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 -severe itching -patches on scalp -sticky fluid discharge - possibly sign of infection oozing psoriasis -AGE= 32 -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. 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. 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. 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. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Karthika
I am currently a PG 2nd yr student in the dept of Shalakya Tantra at Parul Institute of Ayurveda and Research, batch 2024. I joined right after UG—no break—straight into PG (regular batch). I did my undergrad from Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (2017 batch, CCRAS syllabus under Pondicherry Univ). Somehow managed to secure 2nd rank university-wide back then, which I didn’t totally expect. Right now, my core interest lies in the Ayurvedic and integrative management of eye disorders. I’ve got decent exposure to both classical texts and clinical practice. From anatomy to pathology, I try to stay grounded in both the traditional Ayurvedic view and also the modern opthalmic understanding, especially with conditions related to the cornea, retina, and anterior segment. During PG deputation in 2nd year, I handled like 200+ OPD patients daily within 1–2 hrs (felt crazy at first but got used to the pace). I’m also trained hands-on in cataract and cornea surgeries under supervision. Not calling myself a surgeon yet, but I did get a good amout of surgical exposure in the PG postings. In terms of academics, I got 82% in the first-year PG exams—distinction score—secured department 1st and university topper at Parul Institute. Sometimes I do wonder if all this speed actually lets me go deep into each case but I’m learning to balance efficiency with proper patient care. Honestly I think that’s the biggest challenge in clinical ayurveda today—staying rooted in shastra while also being practically useful in today's overloaded OPDs. Anyway, still got a lot to learn, but I try to show up with clarity, humility and the will to keep improving every day.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. 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. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. 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.
