Don’t worry,

First of all avoid excessive pittavardhak ahar vihar like too spicy, sour,salty food,oily food,sesame seeds etc…

And start taking these medications, 1.Narsimha rasayana 1tsf with lukewarm milk at bed time only. 2.Amalki choorna 1tsf with lukewarm water twice in a day. 3.Gandhak rasayana 1-1-1 4.Khadirarishta 20ml with equal amount of Lukewarm water just after having meal twice in a day.

*Apply paste of Neem’s BARK over your face and then wash it off with cold water.

*Massage your scalp with castor oil 4 times in aweek. *Massage your scalp with Nilibhringrajadi oil thrice in a week…

Follow up after 45 days…

Namaste Mrs. Kamdar ji, Post-dengue hair fall and reduced hair thickness along with acne, especially around the chin, indicate that your body is still recovering from the viral infection. Dengue often causes depletion of Ojas (vital energy) and temporary imbalance of Pitta and Kapha doshas, leading to hair loss and skin issues like acne.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

☑️INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Narasimha Rasyana 1 tsp morning empty stomach follwed by warm water 2 Groo 1-0-1 After breakfast and Dinner 3 Thickshoot A 1-0-1 After breakfast and Dinner 4 Jeevamrutham 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water

☑️EXTERNAL CARE- 👉Neelibhringadi taila- Warm oil apply on head half hour before bath and massage for 15 min 👉 shikkayi powder +Amla powder For Hair wash 👉For Acne - Apply Raktachandan choorna paste with raw milk 👉light massage with KUMKUMADI taila on face

✅DIET MODIFICATION 👉Focus on nourishing, easily digestable food 👉Include fresh fruits like pomegranate, watermelon, and coconut water to hydrate and cool the body. 👉Consume whole grains like brown rice and millets. 👉Include leafy greens and vegetables rich in antioxidants (spinach, fenugreek, coriander).

❌Avoid- Avoid spicy, oily, fried, and processed foods which aggravate Pitta and worsen acne.

With consistent Ayurvedic care and patience, your hair thickness and skin condition will improve gradually as your body regains balance and strength.

Wish you a good healthy Hair and Skin😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

​In Ayurveda, hairfall, reduced hair thickness, and acne are often seen as signs of an imbalance in the body’s doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata. Dengue fever, a powerful inflammatory condition, can significantly disrupt these doshas, leading to post-illness symptoms.
​Understanding the Imbalance

​Pitta Dosha: Pitta is associated with fire and water elements and governs metabolism, digestion, and heat in the body. Dengue can cause a significant increase in Pitta, which manifests as inflammation and heat. This can affect the scalp and hair follicles, leading to hairfall. Acne, especially around the chin, can also be a sign of imbalanced Pitta affecting the liver and digestive system.

​Vata Dosha: Vata is associated with air and space and governs movement and circulation. The stress and physical toll of dengue can increase Vata, leading to dryness, depletion of tissues (dhatus), and a lack of nourishment to the hair and skin. ​Ayurvedic Approach for Your Concerns ​The goal is to pacify the aggravated Pitta and Vata, nourish the dhatus (body tissues), and detoxify the system.

​1. Diet (Ahar) ​Pitta-Pacifying Diet: Focus on foods that are cooling, moist, and grounding. ​Include: Ghee, coconut oil, coconut water, fresh fruits (like sweet apples, pears, melons), vegetables (cucumber, leafy greens, squash), whole grains (rice, oats), and legumes. ​Avoid/Reduce: Spicy, fried, and fermented foods, sour fruits, and excessive caffeine and alcohol. These can further increase Pitta.

​Vata-Pacifying Diet: Ensure you are getting enough healthy fats and warm, cooked foods. ​Include: Root vegetables, soups, stews, and warm milk with spices like turmeric. ​Avoid/Reduce: Dry, crunchy, and cold foods like crackers, chips, and salads. ​For Acne: Focus on foods that support liver function. ​Include: Leafy greens, bitter vegetables like kale and bitter gourd, and foods rich in fiber.

​Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day to flush out toxins.

​2. Lifestyle and Daily Routine (Dinacharya) ​Stress Management: Post-dengue recovery can be stressful. Incorporate practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises (pranayama), and gentle yoga to calm the nervous system and balance Vata.

​Regular Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep to allow the body to heal and regenerate.

​Oil Massage (Abhyanga): ​For Hair: Massage your scalp with a cooling oil like Bhringraj or Amla oil 2-3 times a week. This nourishes the hair roots, improves circulation, and calms Pitta.

​For Body: A full body oil massage (Abhyanga) with sesame or coconut oil can help to ground Vata and nourish the skin.

​Exercise: Continue with your regular workout, but ensure it’s not overly strenuous. Overexertion can increase Pitta and Vata. Listen to your body and prefer gentle exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga.

​3. Ayurvedic Herbs and Remedies ​For Hairfall: ​Bhringraj: Known as the “king of hair,” it’s excellent for promoting hair growth and preventing hairfall. It can be taken internally as a supplement (under a practitioner’s guidance) or used externally as an oil.

​Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, Amla strengthens hair follicles and prevents premature graying. Amla powder can be mixed with water and applied to the scalp.

​Brahmi: Calms the nervous system and nourishes the scalp.

​For Acne: ​Neem: A powerful blood purifier and detoxifier. Neem oil or a paste made from neem leaves can be applied topically.

​Manjistha: An excellent herb for purifying the blood and improving skin complexion. It’s often taken internally.

​Turmeric: Its anti-inflammatory properties can help with acne.

​For Overall Detoxification: ​Triphala: A combination of three fruits (Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki) that helps to gently cleanse the digestive tract and detoxify the body. It can be taken before bed. ​

​Adjust Your Diet: Prioritize cooling, moist, and cooked foods. Reduce spicy, fried, and fermented items.

​Incorporate Scalp Massage: Use Bhringraj or Amla oil 2-3 times a week.

​Manage Stress: Practice meditation, deep breathing, or gentle yoga.

Experiencing hairfall after recovering from dengue is not uncommon, as the body is recuperating from stress and may be deficient in essential nutrients. Hair health in Ayurveda is closely linked to the nourishment of the scalp and the strength of the hair follicles. Addressing this, begin by focusing on restoring your scalp’s health with a daily routine. Consider applying a gentle scalp massage using warm coconut or sesame oil mixed with a few drops of bhringraj oil. Do this before sleeping at night, allowing the oil to penetrate and nourish overnight, and wash it off in the morning with a mild, herbal shampoo.

Internally, support your recovery by incorporating nourishing herbs like ashwagandha and amla, both known for their rejuvenating properties. Aim to take half a teaspoon of ashwagandha powder with warm milk in the evening, and eat fresh amla or consume it as a juice in the morning. This practices will help revitalize the hair follicles and improve overall health.

Regarding acne, particularly around the chin, it’s often associated with hormonal imbalances and digestive issues in Ayurveda. To combate this, start your day with a glass of warm lemon water to support clear digestion. Focus on a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and leafy greens, avoiding processed and sugary foods that can aggravate Pitta dosha. Consuming 1 teaspoon of neem juice in the morning could also be beneficial, thanks to its detoxifying properties.

Stay hydrated, drinking plenty of warm water through the day with a pinch of turmeric as an anti-inflammatory. Practicing yoga and meditation can aid in stress management, which is a key factor in restoring balance and supporting hormone regulation. Be consistent with these remedies and notice the gradual changes; your body made need time to adjust and respond. If conditions persist, consulting with a local Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized assessment.

Experiencing hairfall and acne in the post-dengue recovery phase is not uncommon. In Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, such symptoms often arise due to imbalances in the doshas, especially an aggravated pitta and vata, as these can disrupt normal skin and hair function.

For hairfall, consider incorporating herbs like Bhringraj and Amla into your routine. Bhringraj can be prepared as an oil and massaged into the scalp twice a week, ideally in the evening, leaving it overnight for best results. Amla can be consumed daily as a powder with a glass of warm water or added to your meals—this helps nourish the pitta. Increasing your intake of foods rich in iron and zinc may also support hair health.

To address acne, it’s crucial to pacify the pitta dosha. Applying a paste made from turmeric and neem on the affected areas can reduce inflammation and fight bacteria. Prepare a paste with equal parts turmeric powder and neem powder using water or rose water, apply it to your chin and leave it on for about 20 minutes before washing off. Include cooling pitta-pacifying foods in your diet, such as cucumbers, melons, and green leafy vegetables.

Ensure you’re maintaining regular bowels, crucial for vata balance. Triphala churna taken at bedtime with warm water can aid digestion and detoxify the body. Drink enough water, particularly warm water throughout the day, to flush out toxins.

Since post-viral recovery can vary, give your body time, but remain attentive to any persistent or worsening symptoms. If hairfall or acne becomes severe, consider consultation with a healthcare provider to avoid underlying issues. Make sure any change you do fits well with your current lifestyle and doesn’t cause additional stress, as stress can exacerbate vata disturbances.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

Hello Mrs. Kamdar ji, The condition of hair and skin are indicators of our overall health. Changes in hair texture, appearance, or growth rate, as well as skin’s color, texture, and presence of rashes or lesions, can reflect underlying health issues. So, internal medicine and external treatment both are needed. Treatment - 1. Neem ghanvati 1-0-1 after meal 2. Mahamanjisthadi kwath 30ml with 30 ml water twice a day after meal 3. Amalaki rasayan+ Black sesame seed powder - 1 tsp with water twice a day before meal 4. Rogan Badam oil -2-2 drops in each nostril either in the morning empty stomach or at bedtime. 5. Apply Aloe vera gel after cleaning the face with rosewater 6. Apply kumkumadi tel before bedtime

Follow these - 1. Adequate amount of water 2. Eat antioxidant rich food like amla, beans, green tea, spinach etc 3. Clean your towel and pillowcase every week 4. Avoid using makeup or some chemical product especially before sleeping. 5. Boil 1 spoon of triphla powder in 2 glasses of water,let it cool then use this for hairwash once a week. 6. Stress management -Through meditation, walking, journaling etc.

Yoga - 1. Anulom vilom 2. Sheetali 3. Sheetkari 4. Adhomukhashavasan 5. Uttanasan

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.

Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

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

Dr. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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.
