Hello Zahra I understand your concern very well. Dark marks or scars after piercing are common, especially on the nose, because the skin there is delicate and healing can take longer if there was infection, irritation, or frequent touching of the area. Bit dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅INTERNAL. MEDICATION

1 Sarivasavam 30ml-0-30ml after food ( detoxifies blood) 2 Manjisthadi ks tab 2-0-2 after food

✅AYURVEDIC HOME REMEDIES

1. Aloe Vera Gel (fresh pulp) – Apply on the spot daily at night. It helps heal and lighten pigmentation.

2. Sandalwood + Rose Water Paste – Apply for 15–20 minutes daily. Very effective for reducing dark marks.

3. Kumkumadi Tailam – Apply 2–3 drops at night on the spot, gently massage. Known as the best Ayurvedic oil for pigmentation and scars.

4. Manjistha Powder Paste (with honey or rose water) – Apply once daily for blood purification and scar fading.

5. Turmeric + Milk Paste – Once or twice a week, reduces darkness and promotes healing.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE CHANGE

✅Foods to Include: Fresh fruits (pomegranate, papaya, apple, kiwi) – rich in antioxidants. Vegetables like cucumber, carrot, beetroot – good for blood purification. Drink 2–3 liters of water daily to keep skin hydrated. Herbal teas: coriander, fennel, rose petal tea for cooling effect.

❌Foods to Avoid: Spicy, fried, junk food – increases Pitta & pigmentation. Excess tea, coffee, and packaged foods.

👉Daily Routine: Wash face with mild herbal cleanser (neem, aloe vera). Avoid touching or scratching the scar. Protect nose from direct harsh sunlight (use umbrella or scarf).

Since you have only a few months before your wedding, start remedies now and be consistent. Natural healing takes time but is safe and effective.

✅ With regular use of aloe vera, sandalwood, and Kumkumadi Tailam, along with a cooling diet, you should see a visible reduction in the dark spot within 2–3 months.

Wish you a clear skin😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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.

HELLO ZAHRA,

When you had your nose pierced , the wound didn’t heals smoothly. Instead the body left behind a dark spot/scar

In Ayurveda -This happens because of pitta imbalance (heat in blood and skin) and sometimes rakta dushti (impurity of blood) -Unhealed wounds or slow healing are linked with imbalance of tridosha, especially pitta + kapha. -The dark mark is basically post inflammatory hyperpigmentation- the skin produced extra pigment after injury

GOOD NEWS= this is not permenent if we manage it well with herbal medicines, oils, diet, and skin friendly lifestyle

TREATMENT GOALS -purify blood= reduce toxins, improve skin healing from inside -Cool down excess pitta= reduce pigmentation and inflammation -Heal the scar externally = lighten the spot, restore natural glow -Support digestion and immunity= because Ayurveda says “improper digestion= impure blood = skin diseases” -Prepare skin for your wedding -> overall face glow + scar reduction

INTERNALLY

1) MANJISTHA POWDE= 3 gm with warm milk at night =best blood purifier, reduces dark spots , gives glow

2) NEEM CAPSULES= 2 cap daily =removes impurities, natural antibiotic, good for scars

3) ALOE VERA JUICE= 20 ml daily empty stomach =cooling, improves skin repair, balances pitta

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =gentle detox, keeps digestion healthy

DURATIOON= minimum 8-12 weeks for visible improvement

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS (direct scar care) Apply regularly to fade the scar and restore skin

1) KUMKUMADI TAILA -apply 2-3 drops on the scar at night and massage gently =classical oil for pigmentation , scars and overall face glow

2) ALOE VERA. + TURMERIC PASTE =anti inflammatory, reduces pigmentation, promotes healing

3) SANDALWOOD PASTE= with rose water -apply for 15 min daily =cooling, reduces heat marks, gives smoothness

4) MANJISTHA + HONEY PASTE= apply 2-3 times a week =lightens pigmentation, honey gives moisture

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Avoid sun exposure daily on nose. cover with scarf/umbrella -don’t touch , scratch, or rub the scar -sleep well = poor sleep delayed skin healing -Avoid chemical creams or bleach-> they can worsen pigmentation -Use only mild herbal face wash like besan + turmeric + rose water

DIET -Cooling foods= cucumber, melon, pomegrante, coconut water, leafy greens -Fresh fruits= amla, papaya, apple -Milk with turmeric at night

AVOID -spicy, oily, junk, fried foods -excess tea/coffee, cold drinks, alcohol -very sour foods -pickles, vinegar

YOGA AND PRANAYAM Improves blood circulation, oxygen supply, stress relief

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana -sarvangasana -trikonasana

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom -sheetali -bhramari

MEDITATION -reduces stress

-Your condition is common and treatable -With 3-4 months of consistent care, this scar will lighten significantly and overall skin glow will improve -internal herbs purify your spot, and lifestyle and yoga support healing -since your marriage is after a few months, you have enough time to achieve clear, glowing skin naturally

BE CONSISTENT AND GENTLE WITH YOUR SKIN

AYURVEDA WORKS SLOWLY BUT DEEPLY- it heals from the root, not just the surface

THANK YOU

I understand you’re concerned about the dark spot left after your nose piercing didn’t heal properly. This is a common issue, often referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Ayurveda offers several remedies to help lighten these dark spots.

​Understanding the Cause ​In Ayurveda, skin issues are often linked to an imbalance of the Pitta dosha, which governs metabolism and heat in the body. An injury or inflammation, like a slow-healing piercing, can cause an excess of Pitta, leading to hyperpigmentation. The dark spot is your body’s response to the trauma, producing an excess of melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color) in that area.

​Ayurvedic Remedies to Consider ​Here are some Ayurvedic herbs and home remedies that are traditionally used to address hyperpigmentation and support skin healing. It is important to note that results vary for each individual and consistency is key.

​Turmeric (Haldi): Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant herb with natural skin-lightening properties due to its active compound, curcumin. ​How to use: Make a paste by mixing a pinch of turmeric powder with raw milk or rose water. Apply it to the dark spot and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off.

​Manjistha (Indian Madder): This herb is revered in Ayurveda as a blood purifier and is highly effective in treating skin conditions. It helps detoxify the body and reduce pigmentation from within. ​How to use: You can find Manjistha powder and apply it as a face pack mixed with honey or rose water.

​Licorice Root (Yashtimadhu): Licorice root has compounds that inhibit the production of melanin, making it a well-known skin-lightening agent in Ayurveda.

​How to use: Mix licorice root powder with sandalwood powder and raw milk to create a brightening face pack.

​Aloe Vera: Aloe vera is known for its cooling, soothing, and hydrating properties. It helps in skin repair and can reduce sun-induced pigmentation.

​How to use: Apply fresh aloe vera gel directly to the dark spot and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing.

​Sandalwood (Chandan): Sandalwood has cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe the skin and reduce blemishes.

​How to use: Create a paste with sandalwood powder and rose water. Apply it to the affected area and let it dry before washing it off. This can be done twice a week. ​Dietary and Lifestyle Changes: Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach to healing. ​Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and help flush out toxins. ​Pitta-Pacifying Diet: Incorporate cooling foods into your diet, such as cucumber, pomegranate, grapes, and watermelon. ​Sun Protection: Always protect your skin from the sun. Sun exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation. Apply a natural sunscreen or aloe vera gel before stepping out.

​Important Considerations: ​Consistency: The key to seeing results with Ayurvedic remedies is consistency. Apply the chosen remedy regularly, as suggested. ​ ​Avoid Irritation: Do not scrub the area aggressively, as this can cause further inflammation and darken the spot. ​

To address the dark spot from your nose piercing, Ayurveda offers natural remedies focusing on skin healing and pigmentation reduction. First, it’s essential to understand that the discoloration is often due to an imbalance in your skin’s natural healing process and possibly a disruption in Vata and Pitta doshas.

One effective approach is using a turmeric and sandalwood paste. Mix turmeric powder and sandalwood powder with a few drops of water or rosewater to create a paste. Apply this gently on the affected area once a day, leaving it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties, while sandalwood soothes and cools the skin.

You can also try coconut oil, which is known for its moisturizing and skin-regeneration properties. Carefully apply a few drops to the spot every night before bed. Coconut oil supports the skin’s natural healing processes and maintains moisture balance.

Another beneficial ingredient is aloe vera gel, which is soothing and helps in reducing pigmentation. Applying fresh aloe vera gel or a trusted store-bought version twice daily can help diminish the dark spot over time.

Diet-wise, focus on hydrating foods and those rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, as these promote skin health and healing. Incorporate fresh fruits such as oranges, apples, and tomatoes into your diet. In addition, drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins from your body, promoting clearer skin.

Considering you’re approaching your marriage, consistency is key. Make sure to follow these practices regularly for best results. If the spot is persistent or you have any irritation, you might want to consult with a healthcare professional for additional guidance.

Lastly, protect the area from sun exposure, as UV rays can darken scars and spots. Use a mild, natural sunscreen if you happen to be outdoors for prolonged periods. This combination of remedies should bring noticeable improvement in couple of months.

Considering the dark spot on your nose due to the piercing, it’s important to recognize that the body’s natural healing process involves balancing the doshas, especially pitta, which can often cause hyperpigmentation. Focusing on both topical applications and internal balance might help lighten the mark gradually.

First, a simple application of turmeric paste can be beneficial. Mix half a teaspoon of turmeric powder with a few drops of water to form a paste. Apply this gently on the dark spot once daily and leave it for about 15–20 minutes before rinsing. Turmeric has properties that combat pigmentation though it can temporarily stain the skin yellow, so do rinse well.

Another topical application is fresh aloe vera gel. Apply the gel directly and leave it on overnight if possible, but if not, at least for a few hours each day. Aloe vera soothes, hydrates, and encourages skin renewal.

Internally supporting your skin’s health is also crucial. Maintain a balanced diet with cooling foods like cucumbers and coconut water while avoiding excessively spicy or oily ones to help address any pitta imbalance. Plentiful hydration and quality sleep support overall skin regeneration.

Lastly, if the scar persists or worsens, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner or a dermatologist for further personalized care. The time frame before your marriage is essential, and professional guidance can be invaluable.

I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

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

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

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am an Ayurveda doctor with about 1 yr of hands on clinical practice, still learning everyday from patients and the science itself. My journey started as a VOPD doctor with Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. For 6 months I was into virtual consultations, understanding cases online, preparing treatment protocols and doing follow ups to track progress. 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?
