hello Priyanka singh,

The dark spots on your face that have been spreading for 3 years are most likely a condition called melasma, which is often linked to hormonal changes, sun exposure, stress, or certain food habits. In Ayurveda, this is known as Vyanga, and it happens due to an imbalance of Pitta (heat) and Vata (dryness and sensitivity) in the skin. Your skin is sensitive, which is why modern creams may not have helped much and could have even worsened the condition over time.

In Ayurvedic understanding, before we treat pigmentation, we first correct digestion and clear toxins (called āma) from the system. Once the body is balanced internally, the skin naturally starts to regain its tone and clarity.

Treatment Plan:

Step 1: Āma Pachana (for 5 days)

Avipattikar Churna – 1 teaspoon with warm water before breakfast and dinner Manjisthadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 45 ml warm water twice a day before food Step 2: Internal Treatment (from Day 6 onwards) 3. Khadirarishta – 20 ml with equal warm water after lunch and dinner 4. Rakta Chandan Churna – ½ teaspoon with honey, morning and night 5. Sarivadi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food

External Application: 6. Kumkumadi Taila – Apply 3–4 drops at night on the affected area, massage gently, leave overnight 7. Face pack: Mix Lodhra + Yashtimadhu + Rakta Chandan powders with rose water and apply 3 times a week

Investigations to consider (if not already done):

Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4) Serum Vitamin D Female hormone profile (especially if irregular periods, weight gain, or PCOD symptoms are present)

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Karthika

HELLO PRIYANKA,

Hyperpigmentation refers to dark patches or spots on the skin. It can be due to -hormonal changes(during pregnancy, or due to contraceptives etc) -sun exposure -use of strong skin products -stress -liver dysfunction -poor digestion(ama) -heat accumulation in blood

ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA -“VYANGA” is a condition where dark patches appear on face without pain -It occurs due to vitiation of pitta and vata dosha, mainly -rakta Dhatus (blood) and Mamsa dhatu (skin/muscle tissue) get disturbed. -stress, sun exposure, oily/spicy food, and hormonal imbalances worsens it

TREATMENT GOAL -balance aggravated doshas- mainly pitta and vata -purify the blood -improves skin health and complexion -repair liver function as skin reflects liver toxins -prevent further spread -nourish deeper tissues -protect sensitive skin without harsh chemicals

TREATMENT PLAN

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS These help detox the blood, liver, and calm the doshas

2)AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily with warm water for 3 months =liver support, improves digestion and metabolism

3) SARIVADYASAVA= 15ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 3 months =cools the blood, detoxifies skin

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS(lepa and oils) gentle and nourishing for sensitive skin

1) KUMKUMADI TAILA= NIGHT APPLICATION -improves skin tone and heals spots =use 2-3 drops after cleansing. Massage gently. leave overnight

2) HERBAL PACK= THRICE WEEKLY APPLY -mix equal parts of Manjistha powder-blood cleanser -Sandalwood powder- coolant -licorice powder- natural melanin reducer -add rose water or fresh aloe vera gel(avoid plain water) Apply for 20 minutes. rinse with cool water

3) ALOE VERA + TURMERIC GEL (daytime use) -mix fresh aloe pulp with a pinch of turmeric -apply during the day for anti inflammatory and brightening effect -especially good for sensitive ,hot, and dry skin

DIET AND NUTRITION

AVOID -fried, spicy, salty, sour foods -fermented foods (pickles, vinegar, curd at night) -excess tea, coffee, alcohol -non vegetarian, especially red meat -cold drinks, ice cream -eating late at night

INCLUDE -Amla= rich in vitamin c -pomegranate, apple, papaya, cucumber -bitter vegetables- neem, karela, methi -whole grains- rice, wheat, oats -cow’s ghee- in moderation (nourishes skin and calms pitta) -warm water with turmeric- in morning -coconut water- excellent coolant -moong dal khichri-gentle detox and digestion-friendly

LIFESTYLE

DO’S -wake up early by 7 am -drink warm water in morning -use soft, herbal face washes (not harsh soaps) -cover your face when in the sun -use natural sunscreen like aloevera+sandalwood paste -get 7-8 hours of quality sleep -stay mentally calm

IF PIGMENTATION IS SEVERE, INCREASING OR HORMONAL THEN GO FOR THESE INVESTIGATIONS -Thyroid profile -liver function test -vitamin b12 and vitamin d -hormonal test- estrogen, progesterone -complete blood count -skin allergy test

-Treating pigmentation takes time and consistency -Ayurvedic healing works deeply- not just symptom removal, but system balance -Senstive skin demands natural, gentle care- avoid harsh chemical creams -Stress and digestion play major roles- calm mind and clean gut=clear skin

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

नमस्ते प्रियंका,

हाइपरपिग्मेंटेशन त्वचा पर काले धब्बे या दाग-धब्बों को कहते हैं। यह निम्न कारणों से हो सकता है: - हार्मोनल परिवर्तन (गर्भावस्था के दौरान, या गर्भनिरोधक आदि के कारण) - धूप में रहना - तेज़ त्वचा उत्पादों का उपयोग - तनाव - यकृत की खराबी - खराब पाचन (अमा) - रक्त में ऊष्मा का संचय

आयुर्वेद के अनुसार - “व्यंग्य” एक ऐसी स्थिति है जिसमें चेहरे पर बिना दर्द के काले धब्बे दिखाई देते हैं - यह पित्त और वात दोष के बिगड़ने के कारण होता है, मुख्यतः - रक्त धातु (रक्त) और मांस धातु (त्वचा/मांसपेशी ऊतक) में गड़बड़ी। -तनाव, धूप में रहना, तैलीय/मसालेदार भोजन और हार्मोनल असंतुलन इसे और बिगाड़ देते हैं

उपचार का लक्ष्य -बढ़े हुए दोषों को संतुलित करना - मुख्यतः पित्त और वात -रक्त शुद्ध करना -त्वचा के स्वास्थ्य और रंगत में सुधार -यकृत के कार्य को दुरुस्त करना क्योंकि त्वचा यकृत के विषाक्त पदार्थों को परावर्तित करती है -आगे फैलने से रोकना -गहरे ऊतकों को पोषण देना -कठोर रसायनों के बिना संवेदनशील त्वचा की रक्षा करना

उपचार योजना

आंतरिक औषधियाँ ये रक्त, यकृत को विषमुक्त करने और दोषों को शांत करने में मदद करती हैं

1) महामंजिष्ठादि कषाय = 15 मिलीलीटर पानी के साथ दिन में दो बार भोजन के बाद 12 सप्ताह तक =रक्त शोधक, रंजकता कम करता है

2) आरोग्यवर्धिनी वटी = 3 महीने तक दिन में दो बार गर्म पानी के साथ 1 गोली =यकृत को सहारा देता है, पाचन और चयापचय में सुधार करता है

3) सारिवाद्यासव = 15 मिलीलीटर बराबर मात्रा में पानी के साथ दिन में दो बार भोजन के बाद 3 महीने तक =रक्त को ठंडा करता है, विषहरण करता है त्वचा

4) अविपत्तिकर चूर्ण = 1 छोटा चम्मच रात को गर्म पानी के साथ =पित्त को संतुलित करता है और पाचन में सुधार करता है

5) चंदनवा = 15 मिलीलीटर भोजन के बाद गर्म पानी के साथ 8 सप्ताह तक =शीतल और सूजन-रोधी प्रभाव

बाहरी उपचार (लेप और तेल) संवेदनशील त्वचा के लिए कोमल और पौष्टिक

1) कुमकुमादि तैल = रात में लगाने के लिए -त्वचा की रंगत निखारता है और दाग-धब्बों को ठीक करता है =सफाई के बाद 2-3 बूँदें डालें। हल्के हाथों से मालिश करें। रात भर लगा रहने दें

2) हर्बल पैक = हफ्ते में तीन बार लगाएँ -मंजिष्ठा चूर्ण को बराबर मात्रा में मिलाएँ - रक्त शोधक -चंदन चूर्ण - शीतलक -मुलेठी चूर्ण - प्राकृतिक मेलेनिन कम करने वाला -गुलाब जल या ताज़ा एलोवेरा जेल मिलाएँ (सादा पानी न डालें) 20 मिनट तक लगाएँ। ठंडे पानी से धो लें

3) एलोवेरा + हल्दी जेल (दिन में इस्तेमाल करें) -ताज़ा एलोवेरा के गूदे में एक चुटकी हल्दी मिलाएँ -सूजनरोधी और चमकदार प्रभाव के लिए दिन में लगाएँ -संवेदनशील, गर्म और रूखी त्वचा के लिए विशेष रूप से अच्छा

आहार और पोषण

इनसे बचें -तले हुए, मसालेदार, नमकीन, खट्टे खाद्य पदार्थ -किण्वित खाद्य पदार्थ (अचार, सिरका, रात में दही) -अधिक चाय, कॉफ़ी, शराब -मांसाहार, खासकर लाल मांस -ठंडे पेय, आइसक्रीम -देर रात खाना

शामिल करें -आंवला = विटामिन सी से भरपूर -अनार, सेब, पपीता, खीरा -कड़वी सब्ज़ियाँ - नीम, करेला, मेथी -साबुत अनाज - चावल, गेहूँ, ओट्स -गाय का घी - सीमित मात्रा में (त्वचा को पोषण देता है और पित्त को शांत करता है) -हल्दी वाला गर्म पानी - सुबह -नारियल पानी - उत्कृष्ट शीतलक -मूंग दाल खिचड़ी - सौम्य डिटॉक्स और पाचन-अनुकूल

जीवनशैली

क्या करें -सुबह 7 बजे तक जल्दी उठें -सुबह गर्म पानी पिएं -हल्के, हर्बल फेस वॉश का इस्तेमाल करें (कठोर साबुन नहीं) -धूप में अपना चेहरा ढकें -एलोवेरा+चंदन पेस्ट जैसे प्राकृतिक सनस्क्रीन का इस्तेमाल करें -7-8 घंटे अच्छी नींद लें -मानसिक रूप से शांत रहें

इनसे बचें -अत्यधिक तनाव, क्रोध या चिंता -रात में देर तक सोना -भोजन छोड़ना -रासायनिक सौंदर्य प्रसाधनों का उपयोग

योग, प्राणायाम और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य सहायता

योग -सर्वांगासन- त्वचा की चमक बढ़ाता है -पश्चिमोत्तानासन- पाचन क्रिया को बढ़ाता है -भुजंगासन- यकृत को सक्रिय करता है

प्राणायाम -शीतली- ठंडी साँसें -नाड़ी शोधन- हार्मोन और मन को संतुलित करता है -भ्रामरी- मानसिक तनाव को शांत करता है

ध्यान -10 मिनट तनाव कम करने के लिए रोज़ाना ध्यान या ॐ या सो-हम् जैसे मंत्रों का जाप करें।

सरल और प्रभावी घरेलू उपचार

1) आलू का रस = हल्का ब्लीचिंग एंजाइम (कैटेकोलेज़)। 10 मिनट तक लगाएँ और धो लें

2) मुलेठी + एलोवेरा जेल = मेलेनिन उत्पादन को कम करने में मदद करता है

3) शहद + हल्दी का पेस्ट = जीवाणुरोधी और उपचारात्मक

4) पपीते का गूदा = इसमें ऐसे एंजाइम होते हैं जो त्वचा को धीरे से एक्सफोलिएट और निखारते हैं

5) मुल्तानी मिट्टी + चंदन पाउडर + गुलाब जल = तैलीय त्वचा के लिए सप्ताह में एक बार

6) खीरे का रस = चिड़चिड़ी त्वचा को आराम और नमी प्रदान करता है

अगर पिगमेंटेशन गंभीर, बढ़ रहा है या हार्मोनल है, तो ये जाँच करवाएँ -थायरॉइड प्रोफ़ाइल -लिवर फ़ंक्शन टेस्ट -विटामिन बी12 और विटामिन डी -हार्मोनल टेस्ट - एस्ट्रोजन, प्रोजेस्टेरोन -पूर्ण रक्त गणना -त्वचा एलर्जी टेस्ट

-पिगमेंटेशन का इलाज समय और निरंतरता लेता है -आयुर्वेदिक उपचार गहराई से काम करता है - न केवल लक्षणों को दूर करता है, बल्कि शरीर की संतुलन -संवेदनशील त्वचा प्राकृतिक, कोमल देखभाल की मांग करती है- कठोर रासायनिक क्रीम से बचें -तनाव और पाचन प्रमुख भूमिका निभाते हैं- शांत मन और साफ़ आंत = साफ़ त्वचा

लगातार अनुसरण करें

उम्मीद है यह मददगार होगा

धन्यवाद

Hyperpigmentation, like melasma, can be quite tenacious, especially on sensitive skin. In Ayurveda, it is often seen as an imbalance in pitta dosha, aggravated by factors like stress, heat exposure, and diet. First things first, focus on cooling your system down. Start by integrating pitta-pacifying foods such as cucumber, sweet fruits, and leafy greens. Cut down on spicy, greasy foods and alcohol as they can inflame pitta.

A natural and effective remedy involves using aloe vera. Fresh aloe vera gel, when applied overnight, can soothe and lighten spots over time. This might take patience though. Besides, make rose water part of your daily routine; splash it over your face everyday to cool and calm your skin.

Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) can be beneficial for you. This potent blood purifier reduces pigmentation. You could consume manjistha powder with warm water daily but, it’s wise to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for dose specific to you.

Try making a herbal face pack with turmeric, sandalwood powder, and rose water applied once or twice a week. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties that help in reducing pigmentation.

Stress can also aggravate melasma, so ensure you’re getting enough rest and incorporate yoga or meditation into your routine. Awareness and managing stress is really crucial.

Keep also in mind sun protection; use a natural, broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin. Avoid staying out during peak sun hours and always wear a hat or carry an umbrella when going out.

Lastly, drinking plenty of water daily is crucial for flushing out toxins. It’s not just about externally treating the skin but purifying from the inside out as well. If symptoms persist, or you notice any deterioration, please consult a healthcare provider or dermatologist for further professional evaluation.

Melasma and hyperpigmentation can be quite tricky, especially with sensitive skin. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic approach, we first look at the balance of doshas and how they might be affecting the skin. Melasma often relates to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism. When Pitta is exacerbated, it can lead to skin issues, including pigmentation disorders.

A good starting point is managing heat both internally and externally. Focus on a Pitta-balancing diet by reducing spicy, oily, and acidic foods. Increase intake of cooling foods like cucumbers, fresh coriander juice, and aloe vera. Drinking lukewarm water upon waking up with a slice of lemon can also help detoxify and balance the body’s pH.

For external application, consider applying sandalwood paste. Mix sandalwood powder with rose water to form a paste, applying gently to the affected areas. This can soothe the skin and gradually reduce pigmentation. Do this regularly, perhaps three times a week, and observe any changes.

Because your skin is sensitive, it’s crucial to test any topical application on a small area first. Also, minimize sun exposure, as UV rays can worsen melasma. If you must go out, use protective clothing and a natural sunscreen.

Also, I’ll recommend reviewing your cosmetic and skincare products to ensure they’re suitable for sensitive skin, free from harsh chemicals. Opt for products with natural ingredients. Lastly, stress can contribute to Pitta imbalance – practices like yoga and meditation may help.

Though these suggestions are rooted in traditional practices, if symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner directly for personalized care. Sometimes, a detailed pulse diagnosis becomes necessary to create a precise treatment plan. Take care!

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

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.

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.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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. 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. 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. 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. Akshay Negi
I am currently pursuing my MD in Panchakarma, and by now I carry 3 yrs of steady clinical experience. Panchakarma for me is not just detox or some fancy retreat thing — it’s the core of how Ayurveda actually works to reset the system. During my journey I’ve handled patients with arthritis flares, chronic back pain, migraine, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalance, even skin and stress-related disorders... and in almost every case Panchakarma gave space for deeper healing than medicines alone. Working hands-on with procedures like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana gave me a lot of practical insight. It's not just about performing the therapy, but understanding timing, patient strength, diet before and after, and how their mind-body reacts to cleansing. Some respond quick, others struggle with initial discomfort, and that’s where real patient support matters. I learnt to watch closely, adjust small details, and guide them through the whole process safely. My approach is always patient-centric. I don’t believe in pushing the same package to everyone. I first assess prakriti, agni, mental state, lifestyle, then decide what works best. Sometimes full Panchakarma isn’t even needed — simple modifications, herbs, or limited therapy sessions can bring results. And when full shodhana is required, I plan it in detail with proper purvakarma & aftercare, cause that’s what makes outcomes sustainable. The last few years made me more confident not just in procedures but in the philosophy behind them. Panchakarma isn’t a quick fix — it demands patience, discipline, trust. But when done right, it gives relief that lasts, and that’s why I keep refining how I practice it.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

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. 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. 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.
