​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. 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.

I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

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. Tejashree Shreyansh Bahirshet
I am someone who never really believed in quick fixes or masking symptoms just to make things look better on surface. I genuinely feel Ayurveda’s biggest strength is how deeply it sees people—like, really sees them—beyond the pain, or rash, or gas or whatever else they're struggling with. When you walk into my clinic with a headache, I’m not thinking "okay paracetamol equivalent herb and done"—no, I’m asking, what's your appetite like?? are you stressed out lately, sleeping well or waking up at weird hours? Do you snack on dry spicy stuff all the time? All that matters, a lot more than people realise. My whole approach is built around the idea that your body and mind aren’t just connected—they’re constantly talking to each other. And when one of them's off-balance, the other's definitely affected too. That’s why I never follow one-size-fits-all kind of thing. Every single treatment I give—whether it’s a diet suggestion, a classical herbal combo, or a daily routine tweak—is totally tailored to your dosha type, your prakriti, your job routine, everything. I also pay a lot of attention to simple, small shifts. You don’t need 10 exotic medicines. Sometimes changing when you eat can do more than adding any fancy herb. That’s why I focus a lot on lifestyle counselling and food habits. Like okay, if you’re eating good stuff but always in a rush, while scrolling your phone—ya, that’s a problem. And we work on that too. One thing I really try to create is a space where people feel safe to open up. Sometimes people don’t just need medicine—they just need someone to actually listen to their story without rushing. I try to be that person. And I think that's when healing truly begins—when the person across from you feels seen n heard without judgment. I work with all kinds of chronic problems—digestive, skin, stress-related—but what I’m really interested in is how we can help prevent future issues too. That’s where Rasayana, dinacharya, and other preventive parts of Ayurveda come in. My goal is to not just fix what's wrong now, but actually help you build a way of life that keeps you well for the long run. Let’s just say, I take that part pretty seriously.

Dr. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

Dr. Batu
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

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. 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. Akanksha Sharma
I am Dr. Akanksha Sharma — an Ayurvedic doctor by degree, but honestly the real learning came from people walking in with stories way messier than the textbooks said. I studied at Himachal Pradesh University, and right from those early days I kinda knew I’d lean toward women’s health — not sure why at first, but over time it just made sense. PCOS, PMS stuff, acne that just doesn’t go, weird cycles, fatigue that keeps creeping in — it’s all connected. And Ayurveda actually *gets* that kind of connection, which is why I stuck with it. I started Aarogya Vatika not to “run a clinic” but to have space where healing could slow down a bit. Like, no one-size plans, no blind detox routines... just clear, slow, honest care. That’s where I bring in classical Ayurvedic therapies — yes, herbs and dosha balancing and all that — but always mixed with real-life stuff people *can* follow. Diet tweaks, small rhythm shifts, herbal combos that don’t wreck your gut... the idea is sustainability, not overwhelm. Hormonal regulation through Ayurveda is kinda my thing now — whether it’s delayed cycles, mood swings tied to periods, or even the peri-menopause fog that just throws life off. I also work a lot on skin issues, especially stress-led ones — pigmentation, flare-ups, unexplained dullness. And digestion, of course. Honestly most things start from there anyway. What matters to me most is that my patients feel heard. Like really heard. That’s why prakriti analysis is not just a formality in my consults — I use it to help them understand how they *work*, why their body responds the way it does, and how they can actually support it without fighting all the time. I don’t claim to fix everything fast. But I do care about getting the root cause right, even if it means slowing down or reworking the plan. Ayurveda doesn’t rush — and neither do I.

Dr. Akanksha Singh
I am an Ayurveda practitioner and also an enthusiast who belive that healing is not only about medicines but also about living in a way that supports health everyday. My main focus has been on treating auto-immune disorders, musculoskeletal disease like joint pains or stiffness, chronic back problems, as well as liver disorders where digestion and metabolism gets heavily affected. I also work with patients who are struggling with infertility issues and various gynaecological ailment, from irregular cycles to hormonal imbalance that disturb daily life. During my practice I learned that Ayurveda is not a fixed formula, it changes with every person. What help one patient may not help another, even if they show same symptoms. That realization keep me humble and constantly alert. I prefer to combine classical Ayurvedic knowledge with practical lifestyle changes that can actually be followed by patients in modern busy life. Sometimes even small steps like correcting food timing or simple yoga practice can create bigger impact than complicated medication alone. Auto-immune conditions are close to my interest because they are often long term and frustrating for patients who already tried many treatment but find only partial relief. Ayurveda gives a way to look deeper into root imbalances, focusing on gut, liver, immunity and stress factor. In musculoskeletal issues, especially arthritis or degenerative diseases, I seen how Panchakarma and herbal support brings steady improvement when patients stick to the plan. For liver disorders, I emphasize both detoxification and strengthening digestion to prevent relapse. In women’s health, infertility and gynaecology remain a key area where Ayurveda provide hope. Many cases require patience, regular follow up, and often emotional support too. I try to be realistic with my patients and not promise instant cure, but I do believe strongly that with the right therapeutics and disciplined living style, healing becomes almost inevitable sooner or later. I dont claim perfection in my work, sometimes results are slow and I also learn from setbacks. But that keeps me connected to the human side of medicine. To me, Ayurveda is not only treatment, it is also a philosophy of balance. Whether dealing with auto-immune flares, painful joints, weak liver, or women’s health challenges, my approach stays rooted in personalized care, because no two bodies are exact same.

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.
