Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. 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.

Harish ji, apake nail root ke paas lalima (redness), kaalapan (black discolouration ), halka sujan(sweeling ), nail growth mein rukawat, aur “jaan nahi lagti” jaise lakshan fungal infection ke spath nail bed damage, ya circulation disorder ka sanket de rate hai. Aap pehlse se kai lotions , creams aur lacquers try kar chuke hain, lekin lab tests mein koi bada issue nahi aaya hai.

POSSIBLE CAUSES -Kapha vata dushti= nail bed mein sanchit aama , poor blood circulation, aur fungal growth -Rakta dushti= blood impurity se nail root damage aur discoloration -Mandagni= poor digestion se body toxins (ama) Jama ho rhe hai -Dhatu kshaya (rasa, rakta, mamsa)- jis wajhse ungliyo mein “jaan” nahi lagti

MANAGEMENT

1) DETOXIFICATION= INTERNAL CLEANSING

-Triphala churna= 1 tsp raat ko garam pani ke sath daily

-Avipattikar churna= agar acidity/sujan ho toh 1 tsp din mein 2 baar khane se pehle garam pani k sath

-Kaishor guggulu= 2 tabs din mein 2 baar, after food =anti inflammatory, detoxifies blood

2) PACIFICATION THERAPY

-Gandhak rasayana= 2 tabs, din mein 2 baar =anti fungal and blood purifier

-Manjistha capsules= 1 cap din mein 2 Baar =rakta suddhi + skin healing

-Neem tablet= 1 tab 2 baar din mein =anti fungal , anti inflamamtroy

3) EXTERNAL THERAPY

-Dashang lepa + neem oil mix karke nail base par daily lagayein

-Tea tree oil diluted form mein (carrier oil ke swath) nail bed par use Karein

-Turmeric+ coconut oil paste bhi infection area pe lagaye ja sakta hai natural antiseptic

4) DIET AND LIFESTYLE

AVOID= dahi, junk food, sugary items, non-veg, alcohol-yeh kapha badhate hain

INCLUDE= warm water, green leafy vegetables, turmeric milk, sprouts, amla juice

YOGA/PRANAYAM= improve blood flow to extremities- try Bhastrika and Anulom vilom

DURATION Minimum 6-8 weeks for noticeable nail regrowth and infection control. patience is important in nail-related issues

Agar nail puri tarah se damage ho gaya hai ya fungal infection chronic ho gaya hai, to. KSHARA Application ya minor surgical debridement phi required ho sakta hai (Ayurvedic surgeon dwara)

THANK YOU

Aapke nail root infection / sujan ke liye kuch simple ghar ke upaay bata raha hoon jo aap Ayurvedic principle ke hisaab se kar sakte ho. Ye aapke blood ko shuddh karne, sujan kam karne aur nail regrowth me madad karenge.


1️⃣ Herbal Soak (Din me 1–2 baar)

Neem patta (10–12) + Triphala powder (1 tsp) ko 2 cup paani me 5 min boil karein.

Thoda thanda karke ungli ko isme 5–7 min soak karein.

Soak ke baad gently dry karein, jor se ragadna nahi. (Neem & Triphala anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory aur blood purifier hote hain)


2️⃣ Haldi-Coconut Oil Paste

½ tsp haldi + 1 tsp coconut oil mila ke paste banayein.

Sirf sujan/lalima wale root par 15 min lagayein, phir wipe kar dein. (Haldi infection kam karegi, coconut oil moisture & healing dega)


3️⃣ Herbal Oil Massage (Raat ko)

Til ka tel (sesame oil) + thoda coconut oil mila ke halka garam karein.

Nail root aur puri ungli par 5 min halka massage karein.

Massage ke baad cotton gloves pehen ke soyein. (Circulation badhega, nail growth improve hogi)


4️⃣ Diet Support

Roz 1 amla (kaccha ya juice) lein – Vitamin C nail regrowth ke liye important hai.

Beetroot, anar, papaya, green leafy sabziyan zyada lein – yeh blood ko shuddh karke nail health improve karte hain.

4–5 bhige badam + 1 akhrot subah khali pet lein – biotin & omega-3 nail ko majboot karte hain.


5️⃣ Protection

Kapde dhote, bartan saaf karte ya paani/detergent ka kaam karte waqt cotton ke upar rubber gloves use karein.

Ungliyon ko bar-bar paani me bhigo ke na rakhein. Agar apko koi farak na dikhaai de to nazdeeki ayirvedic chikitsak se treatment lein.

hello Harish ,

I understand how concerning it must feel to see your nails not growing properly, with redness, darkening, slight swelling, and a sense of weakness in your fingers, especially after trying so many treatments without relief. Let’s calmly go through what might be happening and what Ayurveda can do to help you. From what you describe, it seems like there is an imbalance in your body’s Dhatus especially Rakta (blood) and Majja (nervous tissue/marrow), which nourish your nails and fingers. Weak nails, slow growth, and changes in color can also happen due to chronic fungal infections that are stubborn, repeated infections, or Ama (toxins) accumulating in your system. Even if your tests came back normal, Ayurveda looks at the tissue and energy level, not just blood reports, to understand why nails are not healthy.

Ayurveda can help strengthen the nails, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and clear residual fungal infections internally and externally. However, complete reversal takes time, patience, and consistent care it’s not immediate.

Ama Pachana (Digestive & detox support)

Take Triphala Churna ½–1 tsp with warm water at night, helps remove toxins and improves absorption of nutrients essential for nail health.

Internal medications

Lashunadi Vati 1–2 tablets twice daily after meals Khadiradi Vati 1 tablet twice daily, helps clear fungal infections and strengthen nails Ayush Kwath decoction daily, can improve immunity and tissue strength

External care

Apply Neelibringadi oil or Khadiradi taila on nails and surrounding skin twice daily, gently massaging Keep nails clean and dry; avoid harsh soaps or prolonged water exposure If there is thickened or infected nail part, carefully trim it and apply herbal antifungal pastes

Diet & lifestyle

Include protein-rich foods, green leafy vegetables, and nuts Avoid excessive sugar, processed foods, and oily fried foods Gentle hand exercises to improve circulation Investigations to consider Fungal culture of nail to check persistent infection Complete blood count and vitamin/mineral panel if not done recently, to rule out deficiencies

With regular internal and external care, nails can gradually regain strength and growth. It may take 3–6 months to see visible results, depending on severity and nail growth rate.

You are not alone in this many patients see improvement with patience and proper Ayurvedic care.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

​In Ayurveda, the health of the nails (nakha) is considered a reflection of a person’s overall health and the balance of their doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). Swelling, redness, and issues with nail growth are often linked to imbalances in these doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata. ​Here’s a breakdown of the Ayurvedic perspective on these symptoms:

​Ayurvedic Causes of Nail Inflammation and Growth Issues ​Dosha Imbalance:

​Pitta and Vata: Inflammation, redness, and pain around the nail are often correlated with an aggravation of Pitta and Vata doshas. Pitta is associated with heat and inflammation, while Vata can cause pain, dryness, and brittleness. When these doshas are vitiated, they can localize in the muscles and tissues surrounding the nails, leading to conditions like Kunakha (nail disease) or Cippa (ingrown toenail). ​Kapha: An imbalance in Kapha dosha, which is associated with moisture and stability, can also play a role, especially in conditions involving pus or a sluggish, swollen appearance.

​Dhatu Imbalance:

​Rakta Dhatu (Blood Tissue): According to Ayurveda, the luster and redness of the nails come from the rakta dhatu. Vitiated rakta (impure blood) can lead to inflammation and discoloration.

​Asthi Dhatu (Bone Tissue): Nails are considered a by-product (mala) of asthi dhatu. An imbalance or lack of nourishment in the bone tissue can affect the firmness and overall health of the nails, leading to problems like brittleness, fragility, or poor growth. ​Other Factors:

​Ama (Toxins): Poor digestion (agni) can lead to the buildup of ama, or toxins, in the body. This can compromise the nourishment of the tissues, including the nails, and contribute to various health problems.

​External Factors: Trauma, improper nail cutting, continuous exposure to water, chemicals, and infections (bacterial or fungal) are also recognized as direct causes of nail problems. These factors can trigger the dosha imbalances that lead to swelling and redness.

​Diet and Lifestyle: A diet that increases Pitta and Kapha, such as excessive intake of fermented, oily, or junk foods, can also contribute to these conditions. ​Ayurvedic Treatment and Opinion

​Ayurvedic treatment for nail growth issues, swelling, and redness focuses on addressing the root cause, which involves balancing the doshas, purifying the blood, and nourishing the tissues.

​Internal Treatments:

​Herbal Formulations: Ayurvedic practitioners may recommend internal medicines to correct dosha imbalances and purify the blood. Examples include Mahamanjisthadi Kwath, Kaishore Guggulu, and Triphala. These are chosen based on the specific dosha imbalance identified in the patient.

​Improving Digestion: Correcting a weak digestive fire (agni) is a primary focus to prevent the formation of ama. This can involve dietary changes, spices, and specific herbs.

​External Treatments:

​Herbal Oils and Pastes: Medicated oils like Jatyadi Taila or neem oil are applied topically to reduce inflammation, fight infection, and promote healing. ​Warm Soaks: Soaking the affected area in warm water with ingredients like Triphala, turmeric, or rock salt is a common remedy to reduce pain and swelling.

​Other Therapies: In some cases, more advanced therapies like Jalaukavacharana (leech therapy) may be used to purify the blood and reduce localized inflammation. ​Lifestyle and Diet:

​Dietary Recommendations: Following a dosha-balancing diet is crucial. For Pitta and Vata-related inflammation, a diet that is cooling and nourishing is often recommended, while avoiding spicy, sour, and acidic foods.

​Nail Care: Simple practices like cutting nails straight across, avoiding tight-fitting footwear, and keeping nails clean and dry are advised to prevent recurrence.

​Nourishment: Massaging the nails and cuticles with nourishing oils like coconut or sesame oil is recommended to keep them healthy and strong. ​

Diet and Lifestyle (Ahar and Vihar) ​Foods to Favour:

​Warm, nourishing foods: Grains like rice and wheat, cooked vegetables, and soups. ​Healthy fats: Ghee (clarified butter), sesame oil, and olive oil.

​Nourishing spices: Turmeric, ginger, cumin, and coriander to improve digestion and reduce inflammation. Turmeric is particularly beneficial due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

​Calcium-rich foods: Sesame seeds, leafy greens, and almonds to support bone health (Asthi Dhatu).

​Foods to Avoid: ​Spicy, fried, and fermented foods: These can increase Pitta. ​Cold, dry, and raw foods: These can aggravate Vata. ​Processed and junk foods: These create ama (toxins).

​Lifestyle: ​Routine: Maintain a regular sleep and meal schedule. ​Stress Management: Practice meditation, deep breathing exercises (Pranayama), and gentle yoga to calm the nervous system (Vata).

​Abhyanga (Self-Massage): Regularly massage your hands and fingers with warm sesame oil. This improves circulation, nourishes the tissues, and calms Vata.

​2. Ayurvedic Herbs and Formulations ​ ​For Inflammation (Pitta and Rakta vitiation): ​Manjistha: A powerful blood purifier that helps reduce inflammation and improves skin health. ​Guduchi (Giloy): An immunomodulator and anti-inflammatory herb that also helps in detoxification. ​Neem: A potent blood purifier and anti-bacterial agent. ​For Nerve and Bone Health (Vata and Asthi Dhatu): ​Ashwagandha: A rejuvenating herb that calms the nervous system and supports bone health. ​Lakshadi Guggulu: A traditional formulation used for bone and joint health. ​Bala: An herb known for strengthening muscles and nerves.

​For Detoxification (Ama): ​Triphala: A classic formulation that helps in gentle detoxification and improves digestion.

​3. Local Application ​Warm Oil Massage: Gently massage the affected fingers with warm Mahanarayan oil or sesame oil. This can help reduce swelling and improve circulation. ​Turmeric Paste: A paste of turmeric powder and a little water or oil can be applied to the inflamed area for its anti-inflammatory benefits

HELLO HARISH,

Your symptoms are -redness near nail root-> sign of inflammation (inside tissue is irritated and blood flow increased ) -blackish spots-> can be from old blood (bruising), poor circulation, or deeper tissue damage -Swelling -> fluid bluid-up from infection or irritation -Slow nail growth-> nail- making cells (in nail matrix) are not working at full capacity -Fingers feel weak/ no sensation -> possibly nerve involvement or reduced blood supply -Tried many antifungal creams without relief-> suggests it’s not just a simple fungal problem, could be mixed infection + circulation issue+ weakened nail bed

IN AYURVEDA NAIL= asthi dhatus “upadhatu” (by-product of bone tissue). Problems in nails= problems in asthi dhatu and also rakta dhatu (blood tissue) Redness and swelling= pitta and rakta dushti (heat/inflammation in blood) Blackness= vata dushti + poor circulation (rakta sandbar me kami) Weak sensation= aggravated vata dosha affecting nerves Repeated infection= weak immunity (Ojas kamzor)

GOALS OF TREATMENT Ayurveda doesn’t just fight infection- it works on root causes -reduce inflammation and infection -improve blood circulation and nerve health -strengthen nail matrix and asthi dhatu -detox blood -boost immunity

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KAISHOR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =cleanses blood, reduces inflamamtion, helpful in chronic skin/nail disorders

2) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =improves circulation, strengthens joints and nails, balances vata

3) MANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily before meals =powderful blood purifier, reduces redness and pigmentation

4) PRAVAL PISHTI= 125 mg once daily with honey in morning =provides natural calcium, strengthens nail growth

5) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =improves nerve strength, boosts immunity, balances vata

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) TRIPHALA KWATH SOAK= boil 1tsp triphala in 200 ml water reduce to half let it cool to lukewarm the soak finger 15 mins twice daily =antibacterial, antifungal, reduces swelling

2) NIMBA TAILA + JATYADI TAILA MIX= apply on affected nail base twice daily =kills infection, promotes healing, nourishes tissue

3) DASHANG LEPA= make paste with rose water, apply on swelling wash after 30 min =reduces pain, swelling, and infection

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Avoid keeping hands wet for long use gloves while washing clothes/dishes -don’t bite or pick at cuticles -avoid sudden temperature changes on hands (cold-hot) -gentle finger massage with warm sesame oil daily before bed to improve blood flow -sleep well- nails grows better during rest

YOGA AND PRANAYAM

HASTA MUDRAS -prana mudra= boosts life energy, nail growth -apana vaya mudra= improves blood circulation to extrimities

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= 10 min morning and evening for circulation and nerve baalance -Bhramari= calming, reduces stress=stress can slow healing

Gentle wrist and finger exercises to keep blood flow active

DIET -daily(milk, ghee) for Asthi dhatu (bones) -almonds, sesame seeds, flax seeds for calcium and healthy fats -moong dal, drumstick ,spinach, beetroot for iron and nutrients -fresh amla or amla juice for vitamin c (collagen formation for nail)

AVOID -excess spicy, oily, sour foods increases pitta -too much tea, coffee, alcohol (drying-> vata increase) -packaged/junk food

HOME REMEDIES

1) TURMERIC + ALOE VERA PASTE= apply 20 min daily, then. wash ’ fight infection and reduces redness

2) GARLIC PASTE(fresh)= occasionally for fungal infection, but only if no open wounds

3) WARM SALT WATER SOAK= mild antibacterial, helps swelling

This is a chronic mixed issue- not just fungal but also involving your blood circulation, nerve health, and nail nutrition Ayurvedic treatment aims to cleanse your blood, reduce infection, improves circulation, and nourish your nails from the inside out External medicines will protect and heal the local area, but internal medicines are crucial to stop recurrence. Patience is important- nails grow slowly (approx, 2-3 mm per month), so full visible improvement may take 3-6 months Consistency in following medicines, diet and lifestyle is the key

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

नमस्ते हरीश,

आपके लक्षण हैं -नाखून की जड़ के पास लालिमा-> सूजन के संकेत (अंदर के ऊतकों में जलन और रक्त प्रवाह बढ़ा हुआ है) -काले धब्बे-> पुराने रक्त (चोट), खराब रक्त संचार, या ऊतकों को गहरी क्षति के कारण हो सकते हैं -सूजन -> संक्रमण या जलन से द्रव का जमाव -नाखून की धीमी वृद्धि-> नाखून बनाने वाली कोशिकाएँ (नाखून के मैट्रिक्स में) पूरी क्षमता से काम नहीं कर रही हैं -उंगलियाँ कमज़ोर/बेहोश महसूस होती हैं -> संभवतः तंत्रिका प्रभावित हो गई है या रक्त की आपूर्ति कम हो गई है -कई एंटीफंगल क्रीम आज़माई हैं लेकिन आराम नहीं मिला-> इससे पता चलता है कि यह कोई साधारण फंगल समस्या नहीं है, यह संक्रमण + रक्त संचार की समस्या + कमज़ोर नाखून की परत का मिला-जुला रूप हो सकता है

आयुर्वेद में नाखून = अस्थि धातु “उपधातु” (हड्डी के ऊतकों का उपोत्पाद)। नाखूनों की समस्या = अस्थि धातु और रक्त धातु (रक्त ऊतक) में समस्याएँ लालिमा और सूजन = पित्त और रक्त दूष्टि (रक्त में गर्मी/सूजन) कालापन = वात दूष्टि + खराब रक्त संचार (रक्त संदंश में कमी) कमजोरी = नसों को प्रभावित करने वाला वात दोष का बढ़ना बार-बार संक्रमण = कमज़ोर रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता (ओजस कामज़ोर)

उपचार के लक्ष्य आयुर्वेद केवल संक्रमण से नहीं लड़ता - यह मूल कारणों पर काम करता है -सूजन और संक्रमण को कम करता है -रक्त संचार और तंत्रिका स्वास्थ्य में सुधार करता है -नाखून मैट्रिक्स और अस्थि धातु को मज़बूत करता है -रक्त को डिटॉक्स करता है -रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता को बढ़ाता है

आंतरिक औषधियाँ

1) कैशोर गुग्गुल = भोजन के बाद दिन में दो बार 2 गोलियां =रक्त को शुद्ध करता है, सूजन को कम करता है, पुराने त्वचा/नाखून विकारों में सहायक

2) योगराज गुग्गुल = दो गोलियां दो बार भोजन के बाद प्रतिदिन =रक्त संचार में सुधार, जोड़ों और नाखूनों को मज़बूत बनाता है, वात को संतुलित करता है

3) मंजिष्ठादि कषाय= 20 मिलीलीटर बराबर मात्रा में पानी के साथ दिन में दो बार भोजन से पहले =रक्त शोधक चूर्ण, लालिमा और रंजकता कम करता है

4) प्रवाल पिष्टी= 125 मिलीग्राम प्रतिदिन एक बार सुबह शहद के साथ =प्राकृतिक कैल्शियम प्रदान करता है, नाखूनों की वृद्धि को मज़बूत करता है

5) अश्वगंधा चूर्ण= रात में गर्म दूध के साथ 1 छोटा चम्मच =तंत्रिका शक्ति में सुधार, रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता बढ़ाता है, वात को संतुलित करता है

बाहरी उपचार

1) त्रिफला क्वाथ भिगोएँ= 200 मिलीलीटर पानी में 1 छोटा चम्मच त्रिफला उबालें, आधा होने तक ठंडा होने दें, उंगली को 15 मिनट तक भिगोएँ, दिन में दो बार =जीवाणुरोधी, कवकरोधी, सूजन कम करता है

2) निम्बा तैल + जट्यादि तैल मिश्रण= प्रभावित नाखून के आधार पर दिन में दो बार लगाएँ =संक्रमण को मारता है, उपचार को बढ़ावा देता है, ऊतकों को पोषण देता है

3) दशांग लेप = गुलाब जल के साथ लेप बनाएँ, सूजन पर लगाएँ, 30 मिनट बाद धो लें =दर्द, सूजन और संक्रमण कम करता है

जीवनशैली में बदलाव - कपड़े/बर्तन धोते समय हाथों को ज़्यादा देर तक गीला न रखें, दस्ताने पहनें - क्यूटिकल्स को काटें या कुरेदें नहीं - हाथों के तापमान में अचानक बदलाव (ठंडा-गर्म) से बचें - रक्त प्रवाह में सुधार के लिए रोज़ाना सोने से पहले गुनगुने तिल के तेल से उंगलियों की हल्की मालिश करें - अच्छी नींद लें - आराम के दौरान नाखून बेहतर बढ़ते हैं

योग और प्राणायाम

हस्त मुद्राएँ - प्राण मुद्रा = जीवन ऊर्जा बढ़ाती है, नाखूनों की वृद्धि करती है - अपान वाया मुद्रा = अंगों तक रक्त संचार में सुधार करती है

प्राणायाम - अनुलोम विलोम = रक्त संचार और तंत्रिका संतुलन के लिए सुबह और शाम 10 मिनट - भ्रामरी = शांतिदायक, तनाव कम करता है = तनाव उपचार को धीमा कर सकता है

रक्त प्रवाह को सक्रिय रखने के लिए कलाई और उंगलियों के हल्के व्यायाम

आहार - रोज़ाना (दूध, अस्थि धातु (हड्डियों) के लिए घी -कैल्शियम और स्वस्थ वसा के लिए बादाम, तिल, अलसी के बीज -लौह और पोषक तत्वों के लिए मूंग दाल, सहजन, पालक, चुकंदर -विटामिन सी (नाखूनों के लिए कोलेजन निर्माण) के लिए ताज़ा आंवला या आंवले का रस

इनसे बचें -अत्यधिक मसालेदार, तैलीय, खट्टे खाद्य पदार्थ पित्त बढ़ाते हैं -अत्यधिक चाय, कॉफी, शराब (सूजन-> वात वृद्धि) -पैकेज्ड/जंक फ़ूड

घरेलू उपचार

1) हल्दी + एलोवेरा पेस्ट = रोज़ाना 20 मिनट लगाएँ, फिर। ‘धोएँ’ संक्रमण से लड़ता है और लालिमा कम करता है

2) लहसुन का पेस्ट (ताज़ा) = कभी-कभी फंगल संक्रमण के लिए, लेकिन केवल तभी जब कोई खुला घाव न हो

3) गर्म नमक के पानी में भिगोना = हल्का जीवाणुरोधी, सूजन में आराम देता है

यह एक पुरानी मिश्रित समस्या है - न केवल फंगल, बल्कि आपके रक्त परिसंचरण, तंत्रिका स्वास्थ्य और नाखूनों के पोषण से भी जुड़ी है। आयुर्वेदिक उपचार का उद्देश्य आपके रक्त को शुद्ध करना, संक्रमण को कम करना, परिसंचरण में सुधार करना और आपके नाखूनों को अंदर से पोषण देना है। बाहरी दवाएं स्थानीय क्षेत्र की रक्षा और उपचार करेंगी, लेकिन पुनरावृत्ति को रोकने के लिए आंतरिक दवाएं महत्वपूर्ण हैं। धैर्य ज़रूरी है - नाखून धीरे-धीरे बढ़ते हैं (लगभग 2-3 मिमी प्रति माह), इसलिए पूर्ण रूप से दिखाई देने वाले सुधार में 3-6 महीने लग सकते हैं। दवाओं, आहार और जीवनशैली का पालन करने में निरंतरता महत्वपूर्ण है।

Nakhun aur unglion mein aap jo symptoms describe kar rahe hain, woh kuch dosha vikar ya kisi underlying health issue ka sanket ho sakte hain. Aapne pehle se kaafi cream aur lotions use kiye hain, toh eek internal imbalance bhi ho sakta hain jo settle nahi ho raha. Ayurveda mein, is tarah ke swasthya samasya ko samajhne ke liye hum dosha, dhatu aur agni par focus karte hain.

Aapke case mein, Pitta dosha ki prakop ho sakti hain, jo lalima aur sujan ka karan ho sakta hain. Bhi Kaapha dosha ki imbalance ki vajah se nakhun growth mein asal aata ho sakta hain. Agni (digestive fire) ki imbalance ki pehchan bhi karni padegi, kyo ki yeh nakhun aur baaki sharir ki poshan aur unglion ke energy levels ko asar karta hain.

1. Apana Dincharya sudharain: Surya udai ke pahle uthiye aur thanda pani ke bajaye thanda se halka gunguna pani face aur haath dhone mein prayog karein kyunki yeh dosha ko balance karta hain.

2. Aahar par dhyan dein: Pitta ko balance karne ke liye thandi taseer wale khana apnaein, jese ki dhaniya, saunf, lauki aur karela. Kaapha ko reduce karne ke liye mithai, namak aur dairy products consume kam karein.

3. Bhojan ke pehle aur baad triphala churna ek chammach koshish karein: Yeh agni ko tezz karta hain aur pitta ko shant rakhta hain.

4. Virechana Chikitsa (detoxification): Panchakarma humare sharir se toxins ko nikalne aur dosha balance mein laane mein saksham hain. Isliye, yeh bi-annual base pe sugget kiya ja sakta hain.

5. Simple yoga aur pranayama, jese nadishodhan aur anulom vilom pranayama ko roj ekat mein karein, jisse sharirik aur mansik sharir sukun aur balance mei aaye.

Agar paristithi mein koi sudhar na aaye ya symptoms worsen ho, toh turant achhe dermatologist ya aur ayurvedic chikitsak ko dikhayen. Ayurveda ki chikitsa sabko alag tarike se asar karti hain, toh correct balance banana zaroori hain.

Nail ke base mein jo lalima aur kalapan hai, uska sambhava karan dosha-vikriti ya vaat-baad ho sakta hai. Yeh samasya balon ya unhon shir pe jab ek rog sthir hota hai to usi ki nishani ho sakti hai aur kuch matra mein infection bhi. Nail properly grow nahi hone or ungliyon mein jaan nahi lagne ka karan ho sakta hai ki aapka rakta-vaha-sarvan prabhavit ho ho rha hai.

Pehle to aapko apne aahar pe dhyaan dena hoga. Vata dosh ko balance karne ke liye garm, odhan aur ghrit se bhandrit bhojan lein. Kuttinay seeds (fenugreek) ka pani bhar ke pee. Yeh Vata ko shant karne mein madadgare hote hain. Sajh-pahari, methi, sesame bij, aur ghrit ka upayog aapke khane mein samil karein taaki nails aur skin ko poshan mile.

Nakhun aur ungliyon ke hissey mein tulsi ka arka lagakar dekhein; isse antiseptic effect milta hai jo infection ko kam kar sakta hai. Hing-churn ka lep ungliyon par lagana, ek prakriti anukul gharelu upay hai jo sujan aur laalini ko ghatane mein madadkar ho sakta hai.

Nail aur ungliyon ke sthith mein behtar safai bhi zaruri hai. Neem oil ko din mein do baar fingers par lagayein. Apne naakhun ko sada sukha aur swachh rakhein. Kundalini shuddhi aur yogic kriya jaise Pranayama aur Nadi Shodhan se mram-mukhya ko shuddh kara sakte hain, jinse vata-pitt-shamana mein madad milti hai.

Agar samasya bani rahti hai ya dard badhta hai, toh Ayurveda chikitsak se milkar puri pariksha karwa lena zaruri hai.

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

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

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

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

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

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

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

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

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

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

Dr. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.
