I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

Hello Alekhya I can truly understand your concern. Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (on palms & soles) is a autoimmune condition that can be frustrating, especially when it keeps recurring despite many treatments. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅AYURVEDIC APPROACH

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION (for blood purification & immunity) 1 Panchtikta Ghrita Guggulu 1 TSP morning empty stomach follwed by warm. Water – classic medicine for skin auto-immune disorders. 2 Arogyavardhini Vati 2-0-2 after food – liver detox & balances Pitta. 3 Mahamanjishthadi Kashayam 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water – powerful blood purifier, reduces redness & itching.

✅EXTERNAL LOCAL APPLICATION

👉Coconut oil + Neem oil mix – apply on palms & soles to reduce dryness, pus, and scaling. 👉Aloe vera fresh gel – soothing for itching & burning. 👉Turmeric + ghee paste – helps healing of cracked/scaly patches.

(Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, frequent washing with hot water.)

✅DIETARY ADVICE-

❌Strictly avoid: fried foods, sour curd, red chili, excess salt, non-veg, alcohol, bakery, cold-drinks.

☑️Take more: bitter vegetables (karela, methi, neem leaves), bottle gourd, pumpkin, pomegranate, green gram, old rice.

☑️Include buttermilk (takra) with jeera daily – good for digestion & skin.

☑️Drink warm water to flush out Ama (toxins).

✅Lifestyle & Stress tips

Maintain regular sleep cycle – late nights worsen psoriasis. Stress is a major trigger – practice Anulom Vilom & Bhramari pranayama daily. Gentle sun exposure in the morning is beneficial. Avoid scratching or peeling scales – it worsens flare-ups.

✅PANCHAKARMA (if possible at Ayurveda centre)

For resistant cases like yours, Panchakarma therapies are very effective

1 Virechana (Purgation therapy) – to eliminate excess Pitta. 2 Raktamokshana / Jalaukavacharana (Leech therapy) – reduces local inflammation & pus. 3 Takradhara (medicated buttermilk pouring therapy) – calms stress & immunity. 4 Basti (medicated enema) – balances Vata & immunity.

With regular Ayurvedic care, psoriasis can be brought under long-term control, flare-ups reduce, and skin starts healing gradually.

Wish you a Good health😊

Warm Regard Dr Snehal Vidhate

​In Ayurveda, Palmoplantar Pustular Psoriasis (PPP) is often understood as a chronic skin condition (Kushtha Roga) resulting from an imbalance of the three doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta, and sometimes Kapha. Your description of “red spots,” “puss form,” “itching,” and “scaly” skin aligns with a complex dosha imbalance.

​Pitta Imbalance: The redness and pus formation are classic signs of aggravated Pitta, which governs heat and inflammation.

​Vata Imbalance: The dryness, scaling, and itching you describe point to an excess of Vata, which is associated with dryness, roughness, and air.

​Kapha Imbalance: The pustules and “puss form” can also be linked to an imbalanced Kapha, which deals with fluids and can lead to oozing or wetness.

​Ayurvedic treatment for this condition is holistic and aims to address the root cause by purifying the blood, balancing the doshas, and improving digestion (Agni). The approach often includes:

​1. Diet and Lifestyle (Ahar Vihar) ​Avoid Pitta-aggravating foods: Stay away from spicy, sour, and salty foods. This includes things like fermented foods, curd, and excessive use of chili and spices. ​Embrace Vata and Pitta-pacifying foods: Focus on a diet rich in cooling, bitter, and sweet (natural) tastes. Incorporate green leafy vegetables, old rice, green gram (moong dal), and bitter gourd. ​Hydration: Drink plenty of water and herbal teas to help with detoxification. ​Avoid incompatible food combinations (Viruddha Ahara): Ayurveda emphasizes avoiding combinations like milk with fish, or hot and cold foods together. ​Stress Management: Psoriasis can be triggered by stress. Practices like yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathing exercises) are highly recommended.

​2. Herbal Remedies ​ ​For blood purification: Manjishtadi kashaya 20 ml after food 2 times a day

well-known for their detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties.

​For inflammation and scale . Giloy ghan vati 1-1 -1 after food

helps to boost immunity and cleanse the blood.

​For internal cleansing: tab Arogyavardhini Vati 1-1-1 before food used to improve digestion and remove toxins.

​For external application: Karanj oil or jatyadi ghrita

often applied to the affected areas to reduce inflammation, itching, and promote healing. ​

With a deep commitment to patient care, I emphasize a holistic treatment protocol that combines precise surgical techniques with Ayurvedic formulations, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications to reduce recurrence and promote natural healing. I strongly believe in integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with patient-centric care, which allows for better outcomes and long-lasting relief.

HELLO ALEKHYA,

WHAT IS IT :- PPP is a chronic skin disease that mainly affects the palms and soles, It causes red patches, pustules (small pus-filled spots), scaling, and itching

WHY IT HAPPENS (Ayurvedic view) -due to imbalance of pitta (heat) and kapha (stickiness, heaviness) dosha -impurities (known as Aam) and Rakta dushti (impure blood) accumulate in the body. -The skin express this imbalance in the form of inflammation, pustules and scaling

WHY IT DOESN’T HEAL EASILY : -PPP is considered a Kushtha roga (skin disorder) in Ayurveda. chronic skin diseases are deeply rooted in blood and tissues, so superficial. ointments alone are not enough.

TREATMENT GOALS -Detoxification = remove accumulated toxins and balance doshas -Blood purification= cleanse the blood to prevent pustules and scaling -Immunity and digestion= improve digestive fire to prevent formation of toxins -Local healing= reduce pustules, redness and itching -Long term balance= prevent recurrence through lifestyle, diet, and stress management

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KAISHOR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =purifies blood, reduces inflammation and swelling

2) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =detoxifies liver and blood, corrects digestion

3) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =anti microbial, improves skin healing, reduces itching

4) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily after meals =strong blood purifier, useful in skin diseases

5) NEEM CAPSULES= 1 cap daily in morning =natural antimicrobial, reduces pustules

6) GUDUCHI EXTRACT= 500 mg twice daily =boosts immunity, balances pitta

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

OILS -Karanja taila + nimba taila= antimicrobial, reduces pustules -Coconut oil with turmeric= soothes itching and scaling

PASTES/PACKS -Aloe vera gel + turmeric paste on pustules- healing and cooling -Neem leaf paste= reduces redness and infection

BATHING -use lukewarm water add a few neem leaves or Triphala decoction for soaking hands/feet

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early, drink warm water to flush toxins -gentle oil massage with coconut/sesame oil before bath -keep palms and soles clean and dry, but not overly dry

AVOID -scratching or peeling scales -tight footwear or gloves that traps sweat -daytime sleeping, late night waking

DIET -green leafy vegetables esp. bitter ones- neem, methi, karela -oil rice, wheat, barley, mung dal -fruits= pomegranate, apple, papaya -spices= turmeric, coriander, cumin

AVOID -very spicy, sour, salty, fried, fermented foods -red meat, sea food, alcohol, carbonated drinks -curd, cheese, pickles -junk/processed foods

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana -vajrasana -trikonasana -paschimottanasana =improves digestion and detox

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom= balances doshas -sheetali/sheetakari= cooling, reduces pitta -bhramari= calms stress

MEDITATIONS -stress worsens psoriasis; 10-15 mins daily help

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -drink neem leaf decoction 3-4 leaves boiled in water 3-4 times/week -apply turmeric + aloe vera paste on affected areas -drink triphala water at night -fenugreek seeds soaked overnight- eat in morning to purify blod

-PPP is chronic but manageable with a holistic approach -Ayurveda aims to treat the root cause rather than just skin -Be patient = results take weeks to months but recurrence reduces with consistent lifestyle and diet -combine ayurveda + yoga + stress management for best outcome

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

It sounds like you are experiencing yaba saproot in Ayurvedic terms, a condition often correlating to pustular psoriasis in modern medicine. This condition often involves imbalances in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha, leading to toxin (ama) accumulation in your system. To address this holistically, let’s start with dietary recommendations: Emphasize cooling, bitter and astringent foods to help balance Pitta. Include leafy greens, bitter gourd, and turmeric in daily meals. Avoid spicy, oily, salty, and sour foods as they may exacerbate your symptoms.

Lifestyle adjustments include practicing Tridoshic balance yoga that focuses on gentle stretching and deep breathing—this apporach aids detoxification and alleviates stress, a common trigger. Adequate sleep is vital to allow your body to heal naturally. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, and stress triggers, indulgence in these factors may irritate your skin conditions further.

Herbally speaking, Neem (Azadirachta indica) has properties that can purifying blood and reduce inflammation. You might want to drink neem tea daily or apply neem paste on the afflicted areas. Likewise, application of Aloe Vera gel topically might soothe itching and reduce scaliness. Ayurveda texts recommend Panchakarma, a detoxification treatment, to cleanse the accumulated toxins in the body, however consult a qualified practitioner to guide you appropriately.

It’s essential to keep track of other symptoms that may be emerging and seek immediate medical care if any dramatic changes occur. While Ayurveda provides a path towards balance and healing, continued collaboration with your healthcare provider is crucial. Never hesitate to reach out to a health professional if acute symptoms arise.

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. 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.

I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too.

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.

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. 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. 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. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

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.
