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

1) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 15 ml with water twice daily after meals for 12 weeks =blood purifier, reduces pigmentation

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

4) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water =balances pitta and improves digestion

5) CHANDANASAVA= 15ml with warm water after meals for 8 weeks =cooling and anti-inflammatory effect

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

AVOID -excessive stress, anger or anxiety -sleeping late at night -skipping meals -using chemical cosmetics

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

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

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 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 a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Whether it’s persistent hair fall, recurring skin allergies, or long-term metabolic disorders, I aim to address the root cause rather than just suppress symptoms. In the management of lifestyle disorders like diabetes and arthritis, I integrate Ayurvedic medicines with structured dinacharya (daily routines) and ahar (dietary guidance), focusing on sustainable results and long-term wellness. I also work extensively with stress-related concerns, offering holistic strategies that incorporate mind-body practices, including meditation, herbal support, and counseling rooted in Ayurveda. With a strong foundation in traditional Ayurvedic texts and decades of hands-on experience, I remain committed to providing safe, natural, and effective healthcare solutions. My goal is to guide patients toward a balanced life, free from chronic ailments, through personalized treatment protocols that restore harmony to both body and mind.

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. Nisha Bisht
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.

Dr. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

Dr. Deepali Goswami
I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done 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.

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.
