hello kanika ,

I understand how frustrating this can be dealing with skin rashes, sun sensitivity, and dark marks can be stressful, and wanting a detox for overall health makes complete sense. First, it’s important to know that these skin reactions are often related to both external triggers like sun exposure and internal imbalances. In Ayurveda, this can involve Pitta aggravation and accumulation of toxins (Ama), which show up as rashes, dark spots, and sensitivity. Detoxification and gentle strengthening of the skin and liver can help reduce flare-ups and improve skin tone over time.

Before starting treatment, I’d like to know about your bowel habits, appetite, sleep, and any ongoing stress, as these influence how well your body responds to treatment. Once everything is assessed, we can begin a structured plan.

Treatment plan: 1. Ama Pachana (digestive cleansing, first 3–5 days) Triphala Churna: 3 g at night with warm water Purpose: Clears accumulated toxins, improves digestion, and prepares the body for detox

2. Internal medicines (after Ama Pachana, 20–30 days) Khadirarishta: 15–20 ml twice daily after meals Manjishtha Churna: 3 g with warm water twice daily Haridra (Turmeric) Churna: 1–2 g with milk at night Purpose: Reduces skin inflammation, lightens dark marks, and supports detoxification

3. External support Sandalwood or Manjishtha paste applied to affected areas for soothing and reducing pigmentation Avoid harsh chemical creams during active rashes

4. Diet & lifestyle Eat cooling and cooked foods: rice, lentils, vegetables, seasonal fruits Avoid spicy, fried, or processed foods that aggravate skin allergies Drink plenty of warm water to aid digestion and toxin elimination Use sunscreen or protective clothing to prevent rashes in sunlight

5. Investigations (if needed) Liver function tests (LFTs) to check for underlying metabolic issues Allergy testing if reactions are severe or frequent

6. Do’s & Don’ts Follow medicine timings consistently Track bowel movements, appetite, sleep, and skin reactions Avoid excessive sun exposure, harsh soaps, or chemical products Practice gentle yoga and relaxation to reduce stress Keep skin moisturized with natural oils like coconut or sesame oil

With consistent care, your skin can gradually become less reactive, pigmentation can reduce, and your body’s detox pathways will improve. Patience is important; visible improvement may take weeks, but following the plan consistently brings lasting results.

Follow-up after 20–30 days will help adjust medicines if needed.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

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.

Kanika, it sounds like you’re dealing with a common issue in Ayurveda, which links skin problems to an imbalance of the body’s internal energies. The symptoms you describe—rashes from sun exposure and itching—are strongly associated with an aggravated Pitta dosha.

​Here’s an overview of the Ayurvedic perspective on your concerns, drawing from the principles of balancing Pitta and detoxification.

​Understanding Skin Allergies in Ayurveda ​In Ayurveda, healthy skin is a reflection of balanced doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), good digestion, and clean blood. When Pitta dosha—which governs heat, metabolism, and transformation—is imbalanced, it can lead to heat-related skin conditions. The sun’s heat can further inflame this imbalance, causing reactions like rashes, redness, and itching. This is often linked to the presence of toxins, or ama, in the body that have entered the bloodstream.

​Ayurvedic Remedies for Skin Allergies (Pitta-Balancing) ​The goal is to cool the body from the inside and soothe the skin externally. ​1. Dietary Changes: ​Favor Cooling Foods: Incorporate sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Think of foods like cucumbers, melons, leafy greens, coconut water, and sweet fruits like grapes and pomegranates. ​Avoid Pitta-Aggravating Foods: Reduce or eliminate spicy, sour, and fermented foods. This includes chili, tomatoes, vinegar, and yogurt. Also, limit caffeine, alcohol, and excessive salt. ​Herbs and Spices: Use cooling spices like coriander, fennel, and cumin in your cooking.

​2. External Applications: ​Cooling Pastes: Apply a paste of sandalwood, neem, or turmeric mixed with cool water or rose water to the affected areas. These herbs have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

​Aloe Vera: Apply fresh aloe vera gel directly to the skin to provide instant relief from heat and itching.

​Neem Water Bath: Boil a handful of neem leaves in water, let it cool, and then add it to your bath water. This can help cleanse the skin and reduce irritation

​Internal Herbal Remedies: powerful blood-purifying herbs like Neem and Manjistha. These herbs work from the inside out to cleanse the bloodstream and support skin health. Triphala is also commonly used to cleanse the digestive tract and promote overall detoxification.

​General Lifestyle Recommendations ​Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day to help flush out toxins. ​Manage Stress: Practices like meditation and gentle yoga can help calm the mind and reduce stress, which is a major factor in aggravating Pitta dosha. ​Limit Sun Exposure: While you need some sunlight for Vitamin D, avoid prolonged exposure, especially during the peak hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Use protective clothing and a hat when you are outside. ​

Start with 1) manjishtadi kashaya 10 ml after food with water 2 times

2) triphala churna 1tsf bedtime

Hello Kanika I can understand your concern regarding sun allergy but dont. Worry we are here to help you out😊

From your description ➡️you have sun allergy (photosensitivity) which causes rashes, itching, and later dark marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

This shows that your skin is sensitive to heat and sunlight

✅Why This Happens???

➡️Excess Pitta dosha → sensitivity to sun, heat, red rashes, burning, itching. ➡️Rakta dushti (impure blood) → dark spots, pigmentation, recurrent allergies. ➡️Slow metabolism & Ama (toxins) → toxins get accumulated in body → show on skin.

✅AYURVEDIC MEDIACTIONS

1 Sarivasavam 30ml-0-30ml after food ( purifies blood, useful in skin allergies)

2 Manjisthadi ks tab 2-0-2 after food very effective for blood purification & reducing pigmentation.

3 Drakshadi Ks tab 2-0-2 after food ( balances pitta)

✅ AYURVEDIC HOME REMEDIES

1. Aloe vera pulp or gel – Apply fresh pulp on affected areas daily for cooling & healing.

2. Sandalwood + Rose water paste – Apply on face/hands after sun exposure to reduce redness and prevent dark marks.

3. Neem & Turmeric paste – Works as natural antiseptic, prevents recurrent rashes.

4. Coriander water – Soak coriander seeds overnight, strain and drink in morning to cool Pitta and purify blood.

5. Detox Drink – Warm water + ½ tsp turmeric + few drops of lemon, once daily, helps in cleansing liver and blood.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE CHANGE

👉Prefer cooling foods – cucumber, watermelon, gourd, coriander, green leafy vegetables.

👉Drink plenty of water & coconut water for hydration.

❌Avoid spicy, oily, fried foods, excess tea/coffee, alcohol – they increase Pitta & skin sensitivity.

👉Protect skin from direct harsh sun; use natural sunscreen like aloe vera gel or coconut oil.

👉Regular bowel clearance is important for detox → include fibrous foods & 1 tsp triphala powder at night (if constipation).

Your problem is mainly due to Pitta imbalance & impure blood leading to sun allergy and dark marks.

Detoxification in Ayurveda means removing toxins (Ama), purifying blood, and balancing Pitta.

With regular use of blood-purifying remedies, cooling diet, and gentle skincare, your rashes and marks will gradually reduce, and your skin will become clearer.

Wish you a good skin😊

Warm. Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Rashes and itching due to sun exposure could be due to a Pitta imbalance in Ayurveda. Pitta dosha, associated with heat and transformation, can lead to skin-related issues when aggravated. To soothe these symptoms, consider cooling your body internally and externally. Start incorporating cooling foods in your diet like cucumbers, melons, coconut water, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, oily and fried foods especially during hot months.

For immediate relief from itching and to prevent dark spots, go for natural topical applications. Applying aloe vera gel directly on the affected areas could help. It’s cooling and soothing. You can also try a mix of sandalwood powder and rose water as a face pack which is known to calm Pitta and refresh skin. Keep your skin well-moisturized and hydrated throughout the day, to prevent it from drying out and aggravating the rash.

Regarding the dark marks, give turmeric a try. It’s natural lightener and anti-inflammatory. Mix turmeric with yogurt or raw honey to form paste and apply on the affected areas for about 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off. However, make sure you’re not allergic to turmeric before widespread application.

Detoxification in Ayurveda is known as Panchakarma, but you can begin with milder home routines. Drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning is one simple practice to cleanse your system. Try to maintain regular eating and sleeping schedules to keep your digestive fire, or Agni, balanced. Including fibrous fruits and vegetables like apples, papaya and carrots in your diet can naturally support detox.

Exercise also plays role in detoxification. Gentle yoga and exercises or brisk walking can stimulate lymphatic drainage and sweating, promoting detox through skin. Ensure you’re drinking enough water throughout - hydration supports kidney function in detox.

When making lifestyle or dietary changes, it’s always prided to harmonize with your individual needs and seasons. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s essential to consult with healthcare provider for thorough evaluation and personalized treatment.

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.

Sun-induced skin allergies and persistent itching, often linked to pitta imbalance, can be quite challenging. The heat of the sun exacerbates pitta dosha, leading to rashes and itching. Such conditions may require both internal and external cooling remedies. Topically, you might consider using a paste of sandalwood or a mixture of neem oil with coconut oil to soothe irritated areas. These have cooling properties and can be applied to affected spots. Application should be generous, and left on for about 20-30 minutes before gently washing off. It’s key not to overdo washing, else it might irritate further.

For lightening the dark marks that remain, turmeric mixed with milk or water can work as a natural and gentle exfoliant. However, it’s important to apply this consistently for genuine results, but at the same time, avoid irritating the skin more.

Now, regarding detoxification, or cleansing, of the body, the aim is to balance the doshas by eliminating accumulated toxins, known as “ama”. Start with promoting healthy digestion, as it is central to removing toxins. Triphala is an excellent herbal formulation aiding digestion and effective in gentle detoxification. It’s reasonable to take one teaspoon mixed with warm water before bed to help in cleansing the digestive tract.

Including more fresh fruits and vegetables can support detox as well — particularly those with inherent cooling properties like cucumber and watermelon. Also, sipping herbal teas made of fennel or coriander can restore balance and help drain out pitta.

Although these simple steps can help in managing your symptoms, it’s essential to check in with a health practitioner if symptoms persist. This ensures there aren’t more serious underlying issues. Good skin and system health often starts with listening to what your body needs, so these steps combined with practical sun protection should serve you well.

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.

That phase trained me well in quick patient assesment and also in explaining Ayurveda in a way that fit with modern expectations. I dealt with many chronic and acute cases during that time.. things like gastric issues, joint pain, stress related complaints, skin problems. The remote setting forced me to sharpen my diagnostic skill and rely more on careful history taking, prakriti analysis, and lifestyle understanding. After that, I moved to a Resident Doctor role at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur. This was very different.. more practical, hands on, and really grounded me in classical Panchakarma. I was actively part of planning and performing therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, and other detox and rejuvenation procedures. Many patients came with long standing spine issues, metabolic disorders, skin complaints, or hormonal imbalance and I got to see how tailored Panchakarma protocols and lifestyle advice together can bring changes that medicines alone couldn’t. Working closely with senior consultants gave me better clarity on safety, step by step planning and how to balance classical texts with practical hospital settings. Now, whether in OPD consultations or Panchkarma wards, I try to meet patients with empathy and patience. I focus on root cause correction, using herbs, diet, daily routine guidance, and therapy whenever needed. My belief is that Ayurveda should be accessible and authentic, not complicated or intimidating. My aim is simple—help people move towards long term wellness, not just temporary relief. I see health as balance of body, mind and routine.. and I want my practice to guide patients gently into that space.

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. 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. 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. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

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. 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. 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. 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?
