How to reduce dull skin, acne marks, and dark circles naturally? - #32464

Radhe

I am 19 years old and struggling with dry, dull skin, mild acne, whiteheads, acne marks, and stubborn dark circles. Despite trying natural remedies, my skin is not improving. I prefer Ayurvedic or natural solutions using ingredients like honey, rose water, cucumber, potato, and green tea. Kindly suggest safe Ayurvedic treatments, remedies, or lifestyle changes to reduce acne marks, heal skin, and achieve a natural bright glow.

Dr. Vd.Ved Janakbhai Purohit
I am gaining my practical understanding of Ayurveda through real patient exposure, first during internship at Arogyam Ayurveda Clinic in Vadodara and now at Khemdas Ayurved Hospital. These months gave me chance to not just watch but also assist in treating a wide range of disorders — gout with severe swelling, hypertension cases where lifestyle played big role, diabetes management that needed constant monitoring, and digestive issues like acidity, constipation or IBS that kept returning for many patients. I also worked alongside seniors handling respiratory complaints such as asthma, chronic cough, breathlessness. Joint pain and lower back pain cases are extremely common, some acute, some lasting years, and I learned how Ayurveda approaches them with both medicines and therapies. Thyroid disorders were another big area, where we had to look beyond just lab values and actually study prakriti, agni, sleep cycles, emotional stress, diet patterns. This exposure helped me practice Ayurvedic diagnosis — naadi pariksha, detailed patient history, observation of tongue, skin, voice — not just as a ritual but as tools to understand the imbalance behind disease. Treatment principles became clearer too: choosing herbs, deciding when Panchakarma fits, or when simple pathya-apathya can do more than medicines. I also realized that holistic care is not only about giving medicine but also building trust. Some patients came with doubts, some impatient for results. My role was to listen, to explain, sometimes to repeat same advice until they felt ready to follow. These moments made me see Ayurveda not just as science but also as a conversation between doctor and patient. Two clinics, two different setups, both gave me solid ground to build confidence in real practice. Every case still feels like a lesson, and every improvement in patient health reminds me why I chose this path.

HELLO ,

WHY SKIN LOOKS DULL= your body’s vata (dryness, weakness) and Pitta (heat, acne, marks) are imbalanced. Because your digestion is not very strong and sleep is irregular, the skin is not getting proper nourishment.

WHY ACNE SCARS STAY= Acne is caused when pitta (heat + toxins in blood) gets aggravated. After pimples heal, they leave behind marks because the skin cells are not repairing fast enough due to low nourishment (vata imbalance)

WHY YOU HAVE DARK CIRCLES -Irregular sleep= Vata aggravation -Low weight= weakness in blood -Stress and eye strain= circulation around eyes becomes poor

So, your skin issues are not just on the outside-they come from inside imbalances, mainly vata + pitta + weak nouirshment

TREATMENT GOALS -Improve digestion and nourishment so your body can build healthy skin tissue -Purify blood and cool down pitta to prevent acne and marks -Balance vata to reduce dryness, dark circles, and improve sleep -Rejuvenate skin externally with oils, packs, and gentle care -adopt lifestyle and yoga to support stress free, regular routine

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals= 2-3 months =puriifes blood, reduces acne scars, clears complexion

2) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water for 3 months =detoxifies system, improves digestion, clears toxins, helps glowing skin

3) AMLA POWDER= 1 tsp with warm water in morning or fresh amla juice daily =rich in Vitamin C, antioxidants, skin brightener, strengthens immunity

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for 3 months =improves sleep, nourishes body, increases weight naturally, reduces stress

EXTERNAL REMEDIES

1) KUMKUMADI TAILA -Apply 2-3 drops on clean face at night, massage gently =improves glow, reduces scars , pigmentation, dullness

2) FOR DARK CIRCLES -Almond oil or castor oil= apply a thin layer under eyes at night -rose water pads= soak cotton in rose water, keep on eyes 10 min daily

3) FACE PACKS= 2-3 times/week -Sandalwood + turmeric + rose water= for glow and scars -Multani mitti + aloe vera gel + few drops of lemon= for acne marks

DIET -fresh fruits= papaya, grapes , pomegranate, apple -milk + 1/2 tsp turmeric in night -ghee 1 tsp daily either in food or with warm rice/khichdi -nuts= 5 soaked almonds + 2 dates daily weight gain + skin health -vegetables= beetroot, carrot, pumpkin, spinach -mung dal khichdi

AVOID -spicy, oily, fried, junk food -too much tea, coffee, or cola causes dark circles, dryness -skipping meals or eating very late at night -cold,dry, stale foods- increases dryness

LIFESTYLE -sleep= aim for 7-8 hours, ideally before 11 pm -Hydration= warm water throughout the day -Oil massage= once or twice a week with sesame oil for full body

YOGA (20-30 min daily) -suryanamaskar= blood circulation, glow -bhujangasana, sarvangasana= for facial glow, blood supply -balasana= stress relief

PRANAYAM (5-10 min daily) -Anulom vilom = balances vata pitta -Bhramari= calms mind, improve sleep -Sheetali= cooling breath, reduces pitta and acne tendency

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -Apply raw honey + turmeric paste on scars= 10 min, wash off -Drink coriander seed water -Eat 1 tsp flaxseeds daily for omega- 3 = improves dryness -Use potato or cucumber slices on under eyes 10 min daily

-Your skin problems are not just “surface issues”- they reflect inner imbalances= digestion, sleep, nourishment -By following ayurveda, internal external care, proper food, and yoga you can expect natural improvement in 8-12 weeks -Patience is Key= unlike chemical creams, Ayurveda works gently but deeply -Stick to a regular routine, manage stresss, and keep nourishing yourself - glowing skin is a reflection of a balanced body and mind

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

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 Radhe, Firstly you have to understand the reason behind it. Acne , pimples and other skin issues might be due to adolescence age or one of the following reasons-

1. Pitta aggravation 2. Oily skin type 3. Intake of oily or junk food 4. Not taking proper care of your skin 5. Use of chemical loaded products 6. Chronic constipation Treatment - 1. Neem ghanvati 1-0-1 after meal 2. Mahamanjisthadi kwath 30ml with 30 ml water twice a day after meal 3. Apply Aloe vera gel after cleaning the face with rosewater 4. Apply kumkumadi tel before bedtime

Follow these - 1. Adequate amount of water 2. Eat antioxidant rich food like amla, beans, green tea, spinach etc 3. Clean your towel and pillowcase every week 4. Avoid using makeup or some chemical product especially before sleeping. 5. Stress management -Through meditation, walking, journaling etc.

Yoga - 1. Anulom vilom 2. Sheetali 3. Sheetkari Review after 1 month. Regards,Dr.Anupriya

For dry and dull skin, Ayurveda suggests looking at your prakriti and probable imbalances in the body’s doshas. Pitta and Vata imbalances can often be at play with these symptoms. Begin by incorporating a wholesome diet rich in hydrating and nourishing foods. Eat more sweet, unctuous, and cooling food like cucumbers, sweet fruits like pears and berries, and ghee. Adequate hydration is essential, so drinking lukewarm water throughout the day can help promote circulation and hydration at a cellular level.

Applying a facemask made of honey and rose water can be beneficial. Mix one tablespoon of honey with two teaspoons of rose water, apply it to clean skin, and leave for 15-20 minutes before gently washing off with lukewarm water. This combination helps in soothing the skin and imparting a from glow, due to honey’s antibacterial properties and rose water’s anti-inflammatory effects.

For mild acne and marks, applying a paste of sandalwood powder and rose water can provide relief. Sandalwood acts as a natural astringent, helping to balance oil production, while rose water helps to cool and calm the skin. Apply this paste nightly, and leave it on overnight to help reduce inflammation and lighten marks over time.

Regarding dark circles, cool cucumber slices or soaked green tea bags can give relief. Place them on your eyes for 10-15 minutes. Potatoes contain catecholase, an enzyme known for skin-lightening. Grate a potato, extract the juice, and apply it around the eyes a few times a week, allowing it to dry before rinsing gently.

Practicing daily self-massage (abhyanga) using warm sesame oil, or a blend of almond and coconut oil can improve circulation and support skin health. Similarly, maintaining a regular sleep schedule, avoiding screens before bed, and managing stress through yoga or mindful meditation could assist in balancing your hormones which in turn affect skin health. Remember, lead a balanced lifestyle for best results, as Ayurveda sees the mind, body and routine as interconnected.

I am currently serving as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital, Nalgonda, where I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various ano-rectal disorders. My clinical focus lies in treating conditions such as piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), rectal polyps, and pilonidal sinus using time-tested Ayurvedic approaches like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma, and other para-surgical procedures outlined in classical texts. 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. Working at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital has provided me with the opportunity to handle a wide range of surgical and post-operative cases. My approach is rooted in classical Shalya Tantra, enhanced by modern diagnostic insights. I stay updated with advancements in Ayurvedic surgery while adhering to evidence-based practices to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond clinical practice, I am also committed to raising awareness about Ayurvedic proctology and promoting non-invasive treatments for conditions often mismanaged or overtreated by modern surgical approaches. I strive to make Ayurvedic surgical care accessible, effective, and aligned with the needs of today’s patients, while preserving the essence of our traditional healing system. Through continuous learning and compassionate practice, I aim to offer every patient a respectful, informed, and outcome-driven experience rooted in Ayurveda.

To address your skin concerns using Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, consider a multi-pronged approach focusing on balancing the doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata, which are likely contributing to your skin issues. Acne and dull skin often arise from imbalances in these areas. Begin by addresssing your diet, which plays a fundamental role in skin health. Consume cooling, hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and coconut water to soothe Pitta dosha and include healthy fats like ghee and olive oil for Vata.

For a topical approach, try a simple turmeric and honey mask. Mix a teaspoon of turmeric with enough honey to form a paste. Apply this to your face, leaving it for about 15 minutes before rinsing. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties combined with honey’s natural humectant effect can reduce inflammation and moisturize, potentially lightening acne marks over time.

To tackle stubborn dark circles, soak cotton pads in cold rose water, placing them over your eyes for 10-15 minutes daily. Rose water has cooling properties that can refresh tired eyes and help reduce discoloration. Additionally, applying an under-eye oil massage using almond oil before bed can provide further nourishment and encourage circulation.

Introduce a short facial massage routine with sesame oil, focusing on upward strokes, for improved blood flow and rejuvenation. Avoid hot showers and harsh soaps, as they can aggravate dryness and disrupt the natural skin barrier. Ensure a routine sleep schedule and manage stress through practices like yoga or meditation, as they can greatly affect skin health.

Stay mindful of seasonal changes, adjusting your skin care and diet accordingly. If issues persist or worsen, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized, deeper insights aligned to your unique body constitution.

Dr. Sumi. S
I am an Ayurvedic doc trained mainly in Shalakya Tantra—basically, I work a lot with issues of the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, head... all that ENT zone. It’s a really specific branch of Ayurveda, and I’ve kind of grown to appreciate how much it covers. I deal with all kinds of conditions like Netra Abhishyanda (kinda like conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early or full-on cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma stuff), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Pratishyaya (chronic colds n sinus), Mukhapaka (mouth ulcers), and even dental stuff like Dantaharsha (teeth sensitivity) or Shirashool (headaches & migraines). I use a mix of classic therapies—Tarpana, Nasya, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, even Gandusha and Dhoomapana when it fits. Depends on prakriti, the season, and where the person’s really struggling. Rasayana therapy and internal meds are there too of course but I don’t just throw them in blindly... every plan’s got to make sense to that individual. It’s kind of like detective work half the time. But honestly, my clinical work hasn't been just about Shalakya. I’ve got around two yrs of broader OPD experience where I’ve also handled chronic stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, arthritis flares, PCOS, IBS-type gut problems, and some hormonal imbalances in women too. I kind of like digging into the layers of a case where stress is playing a role. Or when modern bloodwork says one thing, but the symptoms are telling me something else entirely. I use pathology insights but don’t let reports override what the patient's body is clearly saying. That balance—between classical Ayurvedic drishtis and modern diagnostic tools—is what I’m always aiming for. I also try to explain things to patients in a way they’ll get it. Because unless they’re on board and actually involved, no healing really works long-term, right? It’s not all picture-perfect. Sometimes I still re-read my Samhitas when I'm stuck or double check new case patterns. And sometimes my notes are a mess :) But I do try to keep learning and adapting while still keeping the core of Ayurveda intact.

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. 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. Atul Painuli
I am Vaidya Atul Painuli, currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Delhi... been here a while now. My focus from the start—over 10+ yrs in this field—has been to stay true to what Ayurveda *actually* is, not just surface-level remedies or buzzwords. I’ve treated a wide mix of patients, from people battling chronic illnesses to those just looking to fix their lifestyle before it leads to disease (which is v underrated tbh). During these years, I kinda shaped my practice around the idea that one solution never fits all. Whether it’s diabetes, gut disorders, stress-related problems or hormone issues—everything goes back to the root, the *nidana*. I usually go with classic Ayurvedic meds, but I mix it up with Panchakarma, diet tweaks and daily routine correction, depending on the case. Most of the time, ppl don’t even realize how much their habits are feeding into the problem. It’s not just about herbs or massages... though those are important too. At Patanjali Chikitsalaya, I see patients from literally all walks of life—office-goers, elderly, even young kids sometimes. Everyone’s got something diff going on, which keeps me grounded. What I try to do is not just treat the symptoms but help ppl *see* what’s happening in their bodies and minds. Like Ayurveda says—if your digestion, sleep and emotions are off... then eventually health’s gonna wobble. I don’t promise quick results but I do stay with my patients through the process, adjusting things based on how they respond. That part makes a big difference I think. For me, Ayurveda isn’t a “last resort” kinda thing—it’s a system that can prevent 80% of the lifestyle diseases ppl suffer from today, if done right. My goal? Just to keep doing this in a way that feels real, grounded, and actually helps ppl—not overwhelm them with too much jargon or fear. Just practical, clean, honest healing.

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. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Shazia Amreen
I am Dr. Shazia Amreen, an Ayurvedic physcian with a little over 7 years of hands-on experience in clinical practice. I did my MD in Ayurveda from Government Ayurveda Medical College, Bangalore—and honestly, those years helped me go much deeper into the classical texts and the clinical ground. Not just theory... actual healing. Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with a diverse set of patients—from chronic gut problems to skin & hair concerns, musculoskeletal issues, hormonal imbalances, kidney stones, you name it. My core strength really lies in Panchakarma and gastrointestinal healing, where I don’t just jump into detox, but take time to see where the agni is, how deep the ama has gone, and whether the body’s ready to reset. I’m very rooted in classical assessment—looking at dosha imbalance, dhatu state, and prakriti before planning anything. But also, I keep it grounded in modern daily life. What’s the point of a great herbal blend if the person can’t sleep on time or digest their food properly, right? That’s why I focus big on Ahara-Vihara guidance. I don’t just hand over a diet list—I walk people through why those changes matter, and how to make them sustainable. In my practice, I often blend Rasayana chikitsa with basic lifestyle coaching, especially for cases like IBS, PCOS, eczema, migraines, or stress-triggered flareups. Each case is unique, and I don’t believe in repeating the same formula just because it worked for someone else. I also emphasize emotional reset, especially in long-standing chronic cases—sometimes people carry fear, shame, or frustration about their illness. I try to hold space for that too. Whether it’s someone coming in for general detox, a fertility consult, or just confused by their symptoms—I aim to build a plan that makes sense to them. It should feel doable. Balanced. And over time, it should make them feel like they’re coming back home to their own body. That’s the kind of Ayurvedic care I believe in—and try to deliver every single day.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Dr. Soukhya Hiremath
I am Dr Soukhya, completed my BAMS degree under Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science, and sometimes I still can’t believe how fast that year of full-time practice went by… feels like I m still figuring small things while already handling so many female disorders and skin related conditions every day. I work mostly with Ayurveda treatments for gynic cases, hormonal ups-and-downs, chronic skin troubles and a few other things that always need more gentle hands than people expect. I am practicing for a year now, but honestly the learning kind of never stop, each patient shows something new… sometimes I even pause thinking “wait, did I explain that right” and then go again with more clarity. My focus stays on understanding the root-cause, balancing doshas properly, and giving care that feel practical not over complicated. I treated many gynic issues, from irregular cycles to pregnency related discomforts, and a lot of cosmetology concerns too (acne, pigmentation and stuff that people get worried about really quickly!). I am also running offline yoga classes for pregnant women and others too… it started simple but grew into this small supportive space where I see how much differnce breathing and mindful movement makes. Sometimes the schedule gets messy, or I m not sure if the batch timing was perfect, but the sessions still turn meaningful. Ayurveda, yoga, routine corrections — all these tie together in my approach. I try to keep things straighforward, even if my notes get a bit scattered here and there or a comma miss somewhere, but the intention stays steady: help people feel better with methods that respect body’s natural healing.

Dr. Anupriya
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.

Dr. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.
