I get milia/whiteheads. I cleanse my face morning and night and they had started to get better but now over the summer I sweat so much that they are really bad now. Please advise what else to do. My t-zone is a bit oily.

Dr. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. 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.

🌿 Internal Ayurvedic Support (to balance Pitta–Kapha)

1. Nimbadi Churna or Neem tablets – 1 tab twice daily after meals (blood purifier, controls acne/whiteheads).

2. Triphala churna – 1 tsp at night with warm water (detox, regulates digestion, clears toxins).

3. Manjishthadi Kwath – 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals (improves skin health, clears blockages).


🌿 External Ayurvedic Care

1. Cleansing (Twice Daily)

Use a mild herbal face wash with neem, tulsi, or aloe vera.

Avoid harsh scrubs (they irritate milia).

2. Weekly Ayurvedic Ubtan / Face Pack (2–3 times per week)

Mix:

Multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) – 1 tbsp

Neem powder – ½ tsp

Turmeric – a pinch

Rose water – enough to make paste

Apply on T-zone & whole face, leave for 15 min, wash with cool water. 👉 This absorbs excess oil, unclogs pores, reduces sweat-induced congestion.

3. Steam & Gentle Exfoliation (Once per week)

Take mild herbal steam (boil water with neem leaves or tulsi, let face absorb steam for 3–4 mins).

After that, apply Triphala powder paste gently on T-zone for 2 mins, then wash. 👉 Helps open pores & soften whiteheads naturally.

4. Toning (Daily at Night)

Dab rose water or aloe vera gel (pure) after cleansing.

Controls oil and cools Pitta.

🌿 Lifestyle & Diet Tips

Drink coriander water / fennel water daily (cools Pitta).

Avoid fried, oily, spicy foods in summer.

Include cucumber, watermelon, coconut water – natural coolants.

Wash face 2–3 times with plain cool water (no soap each time).

Hello Ranjit ji,

Milia (small white bumps/whiteheads) are common when the skin pores get clogged with excess oil, sweat, and dead skin cells. Since you have an oily T-zone and sweating increases in summer, the condition has flared up again. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN. OF TREATMENT

1 Triphala powder (½ tsp at night with warm water) – gently detoxifies body and improves digestion (often linked with skin issues).

2 Aloe vera juice (10–15 ml morning empty stomach) – balances Pitta and clears skin.

3 Sarivasavam 30ml-0-30ml after food ( purifies blood )

✅AYURVEDIC HOME REMEDIES

☑️Cleansing & Exfoliation

Use lukewarm water for washing your face, not cold. Once or twice a week, do a gentle scrub: Mix masoor dal (red lentil) powder + rose water and rub gently for 1–2 minutes. This helps open pores and clear whiteheads without harsh chemicals.

☑️ Face Packs (Weekly) 👉Neem + Multani Mitti Pack: Take neem powder + multani mitti + rose water, apply on T-zone, wash after 15 minutes. Controls excess oil, reduces whiteheads, prevents infection.

👉Sandalwood + Turmeric Pack: Cooling, anti-inflammatory, helps reduce sweating-related irritation.

☑️Steam Therapy (once a week)

Take mild steam on your face for 3–5 minutes. Immediately after, apply a gentle scrub to unclog pores.

👉Stay well hydrated; drink warm water infused with coriander seeds to reduce heat and oiliness.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE TIPS

➡️Prefer light, easily digestible meals (soups, green vegetables, fruits).

➡️Reduce excess oily, fried, spicy food, sweets, and dairy at night – these aggravate Kapha & clog pores.

➡️Include bitter & astringent foods (like methi, karela, turmeric, pomegranate).

❌Avoid touching or pressing the whiteheads, as this worsens marks.

➡️Wash face gently after sweating.

With this consistent routine, you should notice gradual improvement and reduced recurrence of whiteheads.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Ayurveda considers milia (whiteheads) and other skin conditions to be a result of an imbalance in the body’s doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). Based on your description, a possible Ayurvedic interpretation and recommendations for your condition are as follows:

​Understanding the Doshas: Your description of an oily T-zone and increased sweating points to a potential imbalance of the Pitta and Kapha doshas. ​Kapha: This dosha is associated with earth and water elements and governs structure, lubrication, and moisture. An excess of Kapha can lead to oiliness and the formation of whiteheads, which are essentially solidified Kapha.

​Pitta: This dosha is associated with fire and water elements and governs metabolism and heat. Excessive sweating, especially during the summer, indicates a high Pitta. When Pitta and Kapha are imbalanced, the excess heat (Pitta) can cause the oily Kapha to clog pores, leading to milia.

​Ayurvedic Recommendations for Milia ​Since your issue is exacerbated by heat and sweating (Pitta) and characterized by oiliness (Kapha), the goal is to pacify both doshas.

​1. Dietary Adjustments (Aahaar) ​Foods to Favor: ​Pitta-Pacifying Foods: Focus on cooling, bitter, and astringent foods. This includes leafy greens, cucumber, melon, cilantro, and mint. Grains like barley and oats are also beneficial. ​Kapha-Pacifying Foods: Emphasize light, dry, and warm foods. This includes legumes, cooked vegetables, and bitter greens. Spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger are excellent for improving digestion and clearing excess Kapha. ​Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out toxins. Add a few sprigs of mint or a slice of cucumber to your water for a cooling effect.

​Foods to Avoid: ​Pitta-Aggravating Foods: Reduce or avoid hot, spicy, and sour foods. This includes chili, tomatoes, vinegar, and fermented foods. ​Kapha-Aggravating Foods: Limit dairy products, fried foods, sweets, and heavy, oily foods.

​2. Skincare Practices (Vyaayam and Abhyangam) ​Cleansing: Continue your morning and night cleansing routine. Consider using a gentle, natural cleanser. ​Natural Cleansers: A paste made from besan (chickpea flour) and water or rose water can be an excellent, gentle, and oil-absorbing cleanser.

​Exfoliation: Gentle, regular exfoliation is key to preventing clogged pores. ​Ayurvedic Ubtan: An ubtan is a traditional herbal scrub. Mix equal parts of besan, sandalwood powder, and turmeric with a little rose water to form a paste. Gently massage it onto your face, especially the T-zone, and rinse with lukewarm water. Do this 2-3 times a week.

​Neem Powder: Neem is a powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herb. A paste of neem powder with water can be applied to the affected areas.

​Moisturizing: Use a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Aloe vera gel is an excellent choice as it is cooling (Pitta-pacifying) and does not clog pores. ​Face Packs:

​Sandalwood and Rose Water: A paste of sandalwood powder and rose water is cooling and anti-inflammatory. Apply it to your face and rinse after 15-20 minutes. ​Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth): This is excellent for absorbing excess oil and is very effective for Kapha-related skin issues. Mix it with rose water and apply it as a face pack.

​3. Lifestyle and Stress Management (Dincharya) ​Stay Cool: Since heat aggravates your condition, try to stay in cool, well-ventilated areas. ​Stress Reduction: Stress can also increase Pitta. Practicing mindfulness, yoga, or meditation can help manage stress and balance your doshas. ​Physical Activity: Regular, moderate exercise helps in improving circulation and detoxification. Avoid overexertion, especially during the hottest part of the day, as this can increase sweating and Pitta. ​

HELLO RANJIT,

WHAT ARE THEY? -MILIA= small, firm, white bumps that form under the skin. They are caused by kertatin (skin protein) trapped in tiny pockets -WHITEHEADS= blocked skin pores filled with il (sebum), dead skin, and debris -They are not infectious or dangerous, but cosmetically bothersome

WHY DO THEY HAPPEN ?

IN AYURVEDA KAPHA DOSHA= excess oiliness, clogging PITTA DOSHA= heat, sweating, inflammation RAKTA DHATU = skin health imbalance

TRIGGERS -hot weather and sweating your summer issue -oily/creamy food, fried food -poor digestion-> toxins formation -heavy cosmetics , thick creams

TREATMENT GOALS -remove existing blockages (whiteheads/milia) -prevent new ones by balancing kapha and pitta -improve digestion and blood purity -strengthen skin health for long term results -reduce sweating/oiliness naturally

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 3 months =improves digestion, gentle detox, prevents constipation

2) NEEM CAPSULES= 500 mg once daily after meals for 8 weeks =bitter taste pacifies pitta/kapha, purifies blood, antibacterial

3) MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 1 month =blood purifier, skin rejuvinator

4) GUDUCHI TABLET= 250mg tab once daily in morning for 2 months =balances immunity, reduces heat, supports skin health

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

-Daily face wash= Neem water (boil neem leaves, cool, use as wash

-Weely scrub= Massor dal powder + sandalwood + rose water = gentle exfoliation

-Face pack= 2-3 times weekly -sandalwood + rose water OR neem + turmeric + aloe vera gel

-Spot treatment= dab diluted clove oil on stubborn bumps not on whole face

DIET -light, cooling foods= khichdi, green vegetables, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, pumpkin -Fruits= pomegranate, apple, papaya, watermelon -spices= coriander, fennel, turmeric, cumin

AVOID -oily, fried, creamy foods -excess sweets, curd, cheese, butter -pickles, fermented foods, heavy night meals -too much coffee/tea/alcohol

LIFESTYLE

FACE CARE -wash face with cool water after sweating -use light moisturisers aloe vera gel, avoid heavy creams

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early, practice yoga/pranayam, eat night meals -avoid sleeping during the day increase kapha

SWEAT MANAGEMENT -carry rose water spray to refresh skin in summer

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana= improves circulation -Vajrasana= improves digestion -Pawanmuktasana=removes toxins

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata, pitta, kapha -Sheetali/sheetkari= cooling, reduces body heat -Bhramari= calms stress

Practice 10-15 min daily

HOME REMEDIES -Apply aloe vera gel + turmeric paste locally -Apply multani mitti pack once weekly to absorb excess oil -drink coriander seed water in morning -apply raw honey as a thin mask=antibacterial, mild exfoliate

-MILIA AND WHITEHEADS are benign but indicate imbalance in skin health -Ayurveda works both internally and externally -Consistency is key= follow both remedies for 8-12 weeks to see improvement

In the realm of Ayurveda, milia and whiteheads signal an imbalance, often involving kapha dosha which governs the structural aspects of the body. First up, let’s address diet. Reducing consumption of heavy, oily, or dairy-laden foods can assist in balancing kapha. Include more astringent, bitter, and pungent flavors to help balance oiliness and eliminate toxins. Foods like radishes, leafy greens, and berries fit the bill.

Hydration is key but watch the timing. Sipping warm water throughout the day aids digestion, helping clear excess kapha. Better digestion means fewer toxins clogging pores.

Now, your skincare routine. You’re already cleansing twice daily, which is great; just ensure you’re using a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip away natural oils completely, causing a reactive increase in oil production. You might also consider using a natural toner with rose water or witch hazel to further cleanse and reduce oiliness.

Exfoliation can also help manage milia and whiteheads by removing dead skin cells. Try making a homemade scrub with chickpea flour and a pinch of turmeric a few times a week. Mix them into a paste with water, apply in gentle circular motions, and rinse.

Topically, you can try a face mask of neem powder mixed with water as its purifying qualities are revered in Ayurveda. Apply it once a week or as needed. Be mindful though, since the skin needs balance, avoid overuse.

Let’s talk lifestyle. Sweating is good as it helps release toxins but cleansing afterward is vital. Ensure your face is sweat-free whenever possible using a clean, soft cloth. Incorporating time for meditation or yoga can also help manage stress, which may also impact skin health indirectly.

To ensure these interventions are suitable for your unique constitution, it’s ideal to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor strategies specifically for you, ensuring holistic well-being and skin health.

Milia, or those small whiteheads, can certainly be frustrating, especially when they’re exacerbated by the hot, sweaty months. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this condition might be linked to an imbalance in the kapha and pitta doshas, given the oily nature of your t-zone and the summer heat intensifying them.

Start by maintaining the balance of these doshas. You might want to incorporate a cooling cleansing routine. A paste made from chickpea flour (besan) and a bit of turmeric, mixed with water, can serve as a natural exfoliant. Apply it to your face, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse off with cool water. This can help gently exfoliate your skin without clogging the pores. Do this 2-3 times a week, not more.

Herbal steam can also be beneficial once a week to open up your pores. You can add neem leaves into hot water and let the steam reach your face. Neem is known for its antibacterial properties, aiding in the management of skin impurities.

Dietary adjustments could also assist in reducing milia. Try eating foods that pacify pitta, like bitter and astringent foods. Include leafy greens, cucumber, and pomegranates. Avoid excessively oily or spicy foods, as these can aggravate the condition. Drink plenty of water and herbal teas like mint or coriander, which can help cool down the body.

Lastly, ensure to unburden your skin during the summer by not overloading it with products. Go for light, non-comedogenic moisturizers to help manage oiliness—to boost skin equilibrium without blocking pores.

If milia persist or you experience any unusual or painful symptoms, it might be prudent to consult with a dermatologist. They could provide treatments that are in line with your skin type and needs.

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. Ayush Varma
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.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. Prajakta Kulkarni
I am Dr. Prajakta Kulkarni, an Ayurvedic physician and diet consultant with 15+ years into this field, and honestly—every year just keeps reminding me that food and healing aren’t separate things. My core focus is integrating Ayurvedic nutrition with actual modern dietary needs, like not everyone can live on kitchari and ghee alone, right? My goal’s always been to make Ayurveda feel doable, not distant. I run a global online Ayurvedic diet program—it’s now reached over 100 cities worldwide and still growing. The plan is simple but not basic: it’s tailored for each person’s constitution, goals, and health issues. Whether it’s weight issues, metabolism imbalance, IBS-type digestion drama, hormonal chaos, or even general fatigue—this program works by bringing the body back to balance through food that matches your dosha + condition. The 95% success rate? Not just marketing fluff. That’s real people writing back saying “hey I feel different now.” And that matters. Apart from diet work, I also offer home-based Panchakarma therapy—with Kerala-trained therapists, btw. Which means people can get authentic detox care (like abhyanga, virechana, nasya etc) without going into a clinic they’re not comfy in. I oversee the plan, make sure it suits their needs, and monitor the progress myself. Because I honestly don’t believe healing should come with discomfort or dread. My approach’s always about finding a midpoint between traditional Ayurvedic healing and practical daily life. I don’t tell people to do what isn’t possible for them. Instead, I build around what they can sustain, gently nudging them toward vitality, better digestion, stable energy, and a real sense of balance. It’s not about chasing perfection. It’s about feeling well and knowing how to stay there. At the heart of all this? Just one thing—making Ayurvedic wellness personal, effective, & actually livable in the modern world.

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. Anirudh Deshmukh
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. 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. 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. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

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. 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.
