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.

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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

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

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

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

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

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

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

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