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. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.

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

HELLO KANIKA,

You are experiencing -Rashes and itching in the sun-> this means your body heat (Pitta dosha) rises when exposed to sunlight -Dark marks after rash-> when pitta and blood are imbalanced, they leave pigmentation after inflammation -Slow healing of marks-> suggests that toxins are circulating in blood, and your skin’s natural healing is affected

In Ayurveda, this is described as pita - rakta dushti (impurity In blood + excess heat) -Think of it as your blood carrying too much heat + toxins -> showing up on your skin as rashes, itching, and marks

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 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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
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.

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.

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

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

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

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
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. 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.
