how to get rid of milia or whiteheads. - #30917

Ranjit

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.

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

I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

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

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: 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. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

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. 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. Ayushya Kumar Singh
I am someone who got into Ayurveda not just for treating diseases but cuz I always felt drawn to understanding why things go out of balance in the first place. My work’s rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—I’ve spent years studying them, not just memorizing shlokas but really figuring out what they mean in today’s context. At the same time, I also use modern diagnostic stuff where needed, just to get a fuller picture. Pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) is something I rely on a lot—it’s not easy to master but with practice, it kinda tells you what the body’s hiding, even before symptoms scream out loud. I focus mostly on chronic issues… like gut problems, fatigue, hormonal mess, skin disorders, and stress stuff that just doesn’t go away with tablets. I use herbal formulations (mostly customized), Panchakarma when needed—not in a one-size way but actually based on the person’s Prakriti and Vikriti. I also spend a good chunk of time explaining things to patients. Like why you should eat this in winter, or skip curd at night or not mix fruits with milk—little stuff people think doesn’t matter, but actually does in Ayurveda. Over time, I’ve realized people don’t just want relief, they want to understand how their body works again. That’s kinda where I feel most useful. I help patients reconnect with natural rhythms, daily routines, sleep cycles, digestion, seasons—all of it. And ya, it’s slow sometimes. But once things shift internally, you see it show up on the outside too. That’s what keeps me going honestly. Whether it’s stress or sluggish metabolism or just someone feeling “not right” without knowing why—I try to listen deep, go to the root n create a treatment path that’s realistic and sustainable. Not just ideal on paper. Healing, for me, is something we do together, not something I just hand over. I want people to feel heard n understood… and to believe their bodies can heal, with the right support. That’s what Ayurveda is to me—real, ancient, and still totally alive.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. Arpita Bhaskar
I am an Ayurvedia practioner who’s kinda always drawn to healing things the natural way... herbs, lifestyle shifts, that deeper root-cause thing—ya that’s where I feel connected. I’ve done my graduation in BAMS from Government Ayurveda College, Jabalpur, MP. Those years were tough and full of grind but it gave me this solid, like really solid, foundation in classical Ayurvedic sciences. And yeah, not just bookish... real world side of it too. Now my focus honestly is to keep learning while helping real people—who come in with digestion problems or hormonal mess or mental stress or even chronic fatigue they can’t explain. Every case is diff, even if symptoms look same outside. That part makes me stop and look closer—what is vitiated? What system is overworking or under? My mind instantly shifts into that mode, trying to trace the imbalance and realign it without suppressin anything. Right now I’m still early in the field, but every patient, every prakriti I see adds a layer to how I understand dis-ease. I don’t rush, mostly just try to listen first... ppl are usually surprised when you sit n listen without cutting them off mid sentence. I don’t claim to fix everything but I do keep that long-term goal in mind—healing that lasts beyond just medicine course. My interest stays rooted in ahar, vihar, and herbal chikitsa. Working with traditional herbs in customized way, not some one-size-fits-all type. I feel Ayurveda demands patience, and yeah, I’m okay with that. Cuz body speaks when we slow down. And that’s what I try to bring in my work—space to slow down, observe, correct gently. Of course I mess up sometimes or miss smth small.. but I reflect and adjust. It’s all part of the practice. I wanna grow steady, keep that fire for real healing alive. This path’s not loud, but it’s deep. And I’m here for it.

Dr. Chaitrali Rajendra Tambe
I am someone who really believes that Ayurveda isn’t just about giving herbs and oils—it's more like a whole way of looking at the body, the habits, the food, and how everything connects together. I got solid training in Ayurvedic clinical practice and feel most confident when I'm using therapies like Panchakarma or planning proper Shodhana for someone who's stuck in a cycle of chronic illness or stress-related issues. There’s just something powerful about seeing how classical cleansing can bring that shift in energy and clarity for ppl who've tried everything else. I work a lot on dosha assessment—sometimes it takes a bit of digging cause symptoms don’t always line up in a textbook way. But once I figure out what’s really going off-balance, I try to make treatment super personalized. It’s not just about giving a kashayam or lepa... I spend time explaining diet changes, routines, sleep timing, and even emotional triggers when needed. Many people don’t realise how big a role lifestyle play in their conditions. Right now, I’m mostly focused on lifestyle disorders and detox-based therapies. Things like PCOS, fatty liver, skin allergies, joint stiffness, IBS, anxiety-linked issues… those come up a lot. I try not to rush. I’d rather go slow n consistent, combining classical concepts with modern diagnostics if needed. Blood tests, reports, scans—they help me track things while still keeping the treatment Ayurvedic in core. I’m also pretty organized about documenting my cases—not just for reference but to understand patterns better. I guess every case teaches you something new, even after hundreds of patients. And I do keep learning, whether it’s updating protocols or trying to refine a virechana schedule that didn’t go as planned. In the end, for me it’s really about finding that balance for each person... not just patching the symptom. I think that’s where Ayurveda really shines.

ChatGPT said: 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.
