Dr. Khushboo
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.

​Ayurveda views psoriasis (known as Kitibha or Ekakushta) as a disorder caused by an imbalance of the three doshas, primarily Vata and Kapha, which also affects the Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue). The excessive itching, inflammation, and flare-ups you’re experiencing are classic signs of this imbalance. The connection you’ve noticed between your scalp condition and stomach pain is also significant from an Ayurvedic perspective, as it points to a deeper systemic issue, likely involving Pitta dosha and digestive fire (Agni).
​ ​1. Dietary Modifications (Ahar): ​Foods to reduce: Psoriasis is often aggravated by foods that are difficult to digest or that increase Pitta and Kapha. This includes spicy, sour, and fermented foods, junk food, and excessive intake of dairy and gluten.
​Foods to favor: A diet rich in fresh, wholesome, and easily digestible foods is recommended. This includes leafy greens, bitter vegetables, and fruits that are not too sour. Ghee (clarified butter) and mild spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander are often beneficial.
​2. Herbal Remedies (Aushadhi): ​Ayurvedic practitioners may prescribe a variety of herbs to cleanse the blood, reduce inflammation, and balance the doshas.

​3. Lifestyle and Routine (Vihar): ​Stress Management: Stress is a major trigger for psoriasis. Practices like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises (Pranayama) are often recommended to calm the mind and reduce stress levels.
​Proper Sleep: Ensuring a regular sleep cycle is crucial for the body’s natural healing and detoxification processes.
​ ​ Treatment 1) tab guduchi ghan vati- 1 tab before food 3 times

2) tab panchtikta ghrita gugglu 1 tab 2 times after food 3) manjishtadi kashaya 10 ml 2 times after food

HELLO ALEKHYA,

Scalp psoriasis is a chronic skin condition caused by a misdirected immune response that makes skin cells grow too fast and accumulate in the scalp. This leads to -itchy, red, inflamed skin -thick , white or silvery scales -sticky discharge (in severe or infected cases) -burning or stinging sensation -hairfall due to constant itching and inflammation

IS IT CONTAGIOUS? No, psoriasis is not contagious- it does not spread from one person to another

In Ayurveda, this condition resembles Eka Kushtha, a type of chronic skin disease involving -vata and Kapha dosha imbalance -rakta dhatu duushti (blood impurity) -accumulation of ama(toxins)

ROOT CAUSES IN AYURVEDA -improper digestion-> toxins(ama) -excessive oily/salty/ sour foods -mental stress -suppression of natural urges -irregular eating and sleeping patterns

TREATMENT GOAL -reduce inflammation and itching -eliminate toxins (ama) and purify the blood -balance vata and kapha doshas -rejuvinate skin and hair follicles -prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS These works from within to purify blood, remove toxins, and improve skin health

1) KAISHOR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =blood purifier, anti-inflammatory, balances pitta-kapha

2) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =liver detox, improves digestion, clears skin eruptions

3) MAHATIKTAKA GHRITA= 1 tsp in warm water in morning empty stomach =corrects deep tissue impurities . enhances skin immunity

4) GANDHAKA RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals =natural sulphur, heals skin and reduces itching and infection

5) PANCHATIKTA KASHAYA= 40 ml twice daily before meals with water =bitter decoction to purify blood, reduce plaques

TYPICALLY CONTINUE THIS FOR 6-12 WEEKS

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS these help to soften scales, reduce infection and relieve itching

OILS(apply 30-60 minutes before bath) -NEELIBRINGADI TAILA= strengthens hair, reduces itching -DURVADI TAILA= especially helpful if there’s sticky fluid or oozing

-Warm a little oil, apply on scalp, massage gently. leave for 30-60 mins, then wash off with herbal shampoo

HERBAL SHAMPOOS

1) SASLIC DS= removes thick flakes 2) SCALPE + SHAMPOO= antifungal, reduces infection 3) TRICHUP HERBAL ANTI-DANDRUFF SHAMPOO= gentle daily use- option

Use medicated shampoos twice weekly. herbal shampoo on other days if needed

HOME REMEDIES

1) ALOE VERA GEL= fresh aloe applied directly to the scalp soothes and cool

2) NEEM PASTE= mix neem powder with water, apply for 30 mins before washing

3) TURMERIC MILK= 1/2 tsp turmeric + warm milk at bedtime improves skin from within

4) COCONUT OIL + CAMPHOR= soothes severe itching for dry scalp only don’t use if sticky or discharge is present

DIET SHOULD BE FOLLOWED diet is half the treatment in Ayurveda,

AVOID -sour curd, pickles, cheese -fermented foods- idli,dosa -seafood especially shellfish -tomato, brinjal, spinach-heating in nature -cold drinks, ice creams -excess salt, jaggery, refined sugar -reheating food

EAT MORE -warm, freshly cooked meals -moong dal, rice, bottle gourd, pumpkin -bitter vegetables= neem, karela, methi -whole wheat or millet based rotis -ghee in small amounts- improves digestion and skin

YOGA AND PRANAYAM These help balance stress, which worsens psoriasis

YOGA ASANA -shashankasana -bhujangasana -sarvangasana -paschimottanasana

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana -sheetali pranayam -bhramari

PRACTICE 20-30 MINS DAILY, especially in morning

INVESTIGATIONS TO RULE OUT UNDERLYING ISSUES

1) CBC, ESR= check for signs of inflammation 2) VITAMIN D,B12= deficiency may worsen symptoms 3) LIVER FUNCTION TEST= if long term medications is planned 4) SKIN BIPSY= if diagnosis is ulclear 5) FUNGAL CULTURE= if discharge is yellow/green(possible infection)

PANCHAKARMA THERAPIES(In clinic-detox) for chronic or resistant cases, consider -VIRECHANA= purgation to cleans pitta and toxins -TAKRADHARA= buttermilk poured on scalp-soothes itching -RAKTAMOKSHANA= bloodletting (leech therapy) for stubborn plaques -SHIROLEPAM= medicated paste applied to scalp

FINALLY 1) CONSISTENCY IS KEY= ayurvedic treatment takes time but it cures deeply

2) DON’T SUPPRESS NATURAL URGES= like bowel movement, urination or tears

3) STAY AWAY FROM STRESS= emotional triggers can worsen skin conditions

4) STICK TO EARLY DINNERS, REGULAR SLEEP, and minimal mobile use before bedtime

5) AVOID CHEMICAL HAIR PRODUCTS= use herbal/natural alternativs

6) TRIM NAILS- to avoid damage from scratching

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY FOR 6-12 WEEKS

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Dr. Neha Saini
I’m Vaidya Neha Saini, an Ayurvedic Physician with a strong foundation in classical Ayurveda and a passion for restoring health through natural and individualized care. I hold a BAMS degree from Shree Krishna Government Ayurvedic College, Kurukshetra, and completed my MD in Ayurveda from the esteemed Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune. With over five years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my practice to helping patients manage chronic health conditions, lifestyle disorders, and long-standing imbalances through a holistic lens. My treatment approach integrates the timeless principles of Ayurveda with modern clinical sensibilities. I focus on addressing the root cause of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms. Over the years, I have supported patients suffering from joint and musculoskeletal pain, chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, hormonal imbalances including PCOS and thyroid dysfunction, and neurological concerns like paralysis and post-stroke rehabilitation. Each case is treated with individualized Ayurvedic therapies that may include herbal medicine, Panchakarma detoxification, lifestyle restructuring, and personalized diet plans tailored to the patient's prakriti (body constitution) and vikriti (current imbalance). I provide both in-person and online consultations to make Ayurvedic care accessible and convenient for everyone. My goal in every interaction is to listen with empathy, guide with clarity, and offer treatments rooted in authenticity and clinical evidence. I firmly believe that true healing is a collaborative journey—where the patient and practitioner work in harmony to bring the body, mind, and spirit back into equilibrium. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession—it is a way of life, a science of understanding human nature, and a philosophy of living in sync with the rhythms of nature. I am committed to walking this path with you, offering my knowledge, experience, and care at every step of your healing journey.

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.

Scalp psoriasis can be quite distressing, especially when it intensifies into flare-ups and induces severe itching and inflammation. According to Ayurveda, scalp psoriasis could be related to an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas, which influence the condition of skin tissues (Twak Dhatu) and other symptoms. Here are a few recommendations:

1. Diet and digestion: Since you’re experiencing stomach pain alongside inflammation, it’s crucial to revisit your diet, aiming to balance the agni (digestive fire). You might want to minimize foods that aggravate Vata and Kapha, such as cold, heavy, oily, and spicy foods. Incorporating warm, cooked meals, seasoned with light spices like cumin, ginger, and turmeric, can be helpful. Enjoy herbal teas, especially ginger or fennel, to calm digestion.

2. Herbal support: Certain Ayurvedic herbs like Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Turmeric (Curcuma longa) have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Applying Neem oil to your scalp may help reduce the flare-ups. Internally, you can consume turmeric powder mixed with warm water or milk to support your immune response. Always ensure these herbal remedies are suitable for your specific condition before usage.

3. Tailored head treatments: Regular gentle massage of the scalp with a mixture of coconut oil and a few drops of tea tree oil or even Brahmi oil could soothe the itching. Keep the oil for around 30 minutes before rinsing, but be gentle to avoid irritation of the scalp.

4. Lifestyle changes: Regular practices such as yoga and meditation may alleviate stress that can otherwise exacerbate your symptoms. Try to maintain a regular sleep schedule to promote overall wellbeing.

If the stomach pain continues or worsens, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional. Pain might be signaling an issue that needs immediate medical attention. Ayurveda’s valuable, but holistic care sometimes requires integrating Western medical insights too for a more complete approach. Always talk to a healthcare provider before starting new treatments to ensure they won’t interfere with any other medicines you might be taking.

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.

Scalp psoriasis and the additional challenges you’re facing point towards an underlying imbalance that may involve your body’s doshic constitution, particularly an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Addressing these imbalances may help alleviate symptoms. Though you haven’t tried Ayurveda yet, this system can offer complementary support alongside any conventional treatments.

1. Diet plays a crucial role. Try to avoid spicy, oily, and overly sour foods that can aggravate Pitta. Focus more on including cooling foods like cucumber, cilantro, and fresh aloe vera. Make sure you’re integrating plenty of green leafy vegetables, which help nourish the skin.

2. Turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, might be beneficial. Add a half teaspoon of organic turmeric to a glass of warm milk or water daily. Turmeric can help reduce inflammation internally.

3. For scalp care, massage the scalp with coconut oil infused with neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves at least twice a week. Neem and coconut oil can soothe inflammation and itching, thanks to their antimicrobial properties.

4. To address the gut and digestive issues, emphasize supporting agni, your digestive fire. Consider sipping on warm ginger water throughout the day, which aids digestion and balances Vata. Avoiding long gaps between meals can be helpful too.

5. Incorporate yoga and breathing exercises such as Pranayama into your routine to help manage stress, which can exacerbate psoriasis symptoms. Simple exercises like the alternate nostril breathing can support overall balance.

6. If symptoms persist or worsen, especially the stomach pain, it’s crucial to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare provider directly. They can provide a more comprehensive evaluation, including personalized detoxification plans like Panchakarma, which require professional oversight.

Becoming more aware of lifestyle habits contributing to your dosha imbalances and making small but consistent changes may create a significant positive impact.

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

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

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.

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. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

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. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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

Dr. Snehal Tasgaonkar
I am an Ayurvedic physician with around 7 yrs clinical experience, though honestly—feels like I’ve lived double that in patient hours. I studied from a govt. medical college (reputed one) where I got deep into classical Ayurvedic texts n clinical logic. I treat everything from chronic stuff like arthritis, IBS, eczema... to more sudden conditions that just pop up outta nowhere. I try to approach each case by digging into the *why*, not just the *what*. I mean—anyone can treat pain, but if you don’t catch the doshic imbalance or metabolic root, it just comes bak right? I use Nadi Pariksha a lot, but also other classical signs to map prakriti-vikruti, dhatu status n agni condition... you know the drill. I like making people *understand* their own health too. Doesn’t make sense to hand meds without giving them tools to prevent a relapse. My Panchakarma training’s been a core part of my work. I do Abhyanga, Swedana, Basti etc regularly—not just detox but also as restorative therapy. Actually seen cases where patients came in exhausted, foggy... and post-Shodhana, they're just lit up. That part never gets old. Also I always tie diet & lifestyle changes into treatment. It’s non-negotiable for me, bcs long-term balance needs daily changes, not just clinic visits. I like using classical formulations but I stay practical too—if someone's not ready for full-scale protocol, I try building smaller habits. I believe healing’s not just abt treating symptoms—it’s abt helping the body reset, then stay there. I’m constantly refining what I do, trying to blend timeless Ayurvedic theory with real-time practical needs of today’s patients. Doesn’t always go perfect lol, but most times we see real shifts. That’s what keeps me going.

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.
