Need Ayurvedic solution for dull skin, acne scars, and under-eye circles - #32466

Tanya

I am 19 years old and for the last few years I have been struggling with skin issues. My skin is naturally dry and often looks dull. I also face mild acne and whiteheads which leave marks, and stubborn dark circles that do not reduce even after trying many home remedies. I have been following natural remedies like honey, rose water, potato, cucumber, and green tea, but still my skin has not improved much. My main concern is to reduce acne marks, heal dull skin, and lighten dark circles naturally. I also have irregular sleep sometimes due to studies, and my weight is slightly low, which I feel may also affect my skin health. I wish to avoid chemical treatments and want to follow safe Ayurvedic remedies along with lifestyle guidance related to food, sleep, and daily routine. Kindly suggest the best Ayurvedic approach to make my skin healthy, bright, glowing, and free from marks and circles in a natural way.

Dr. Khushboo
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.

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.

Hello Tanya, With proper ayurvedic treatment plan,you can get beautiful and healthy skin.Acne , pimples and other skin issues might be due to- 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.

Avoid using makeup or some chemical product especially before sleeping. 5. Stress management -Through meditation, walking, journaling etc. 6.

HELLO TANYA,

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

For brightening your dull skin and addressing acne scars along with dark circles, Ayurveda offers a tailored approach considering your unique constitution. Let’s focus on integrating some powerful Ayurvedic practices into your routine.

Firstly, understanding your dosha nature can be influential. As you have dry skin and irregular sleep patterns, Vata imbalance might be a factor. Thus, moisturizing internally and externally is key. Include ghee in your diet, starting with half a teaspoon of warm ghee in the morning or in your meals, to nourish your skin from the inside. Also, indulging in regular Abhyanga (self-massage) with sesame oil can replenish your skin’s moisture and enhance blood circulation.

For acne scars and blemishes, a paste of turmeric and sandalwood in equal parts mixed with a bit of rose water can be applied to the affected areas. Leave it for 15-20 mins, then rinse with lukewarm water. The anti-inflammatory properties help to lighten scars gradually when used consistently, about 2-3 times a week.

For under-eye circles, focus on your sleep hygiene first. Try to fix a regular sleep schedule, going to bed by 10 PM which is in alignment with Ayurveda’s recommendation of sleeping well before midnight. To lighten circles, use cold milk-soaked cotton pads and place them on your eyes for 10 minutes daily. The lactic acid in milk soothes and lightens pigmentation.

Diet-wise, nourish yourself with hydrating fruits like cucumber, papaya; and increase greens, nuts, and seeds to balance Vata further. Drink adequate water to maintain hydration levels. Avoiding processed foods and minimizing caffeine can help in reducing skin flare-ups and sleep disruption.

Lastly, regular practice of yoga and Pranayama like Anulom Vilom can aid stress reduction and improve circulation — essential for skin health. Monitoring your stress levels and addressing them through meditation or mindful breaks throughout your studying sessions can also indirectly support clearer skin.

Carefully integrating these practices may bring about gradual improvement. Do remember, that consistent efforts over quick fixes provides longer benefit. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting with a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner in person for personalized treatment.

Skin issues you’re facing like dullness, acne, and under-eye circles often relate to dosha imbalances, predominantly Vata and Pitta here. Vata imbalance corresponds with dryness and dull skin, while excess Pitta can lead to inflammation, acne, and pigmentation issues. Addressing these imbalances through diet, lifestyle, and specific Ayurvedic formulations might be beneficial.

First up, your diet should be nourishing, favoring warm, moist, and slightly oily foods which can help balance Vata. Include ghee, sesame oil, and almond milk. Freshly cooked vegetables like sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots are grounding. Drink warm herbal teas like ginger with honey to aid digestion and boost Agni. Incorporate plenty of antioxidant-rich fruits like pomegranates to help your skin rejuvenate.

Sleep is vital in managing dark circles. Establish a consistent sleep routine—going to bed and waking up at the same time—to regulate body rhythms. For enhancing sleep quality, before bed, try Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) oil or an herbal tea made from Brahmi and Jatamansi (Spikenard).

For topical applications, mix turmeric with chickpea flour and milk into a paste—use it as a face pack once a week to lighten marks and impart a healthy glow. But don’t leave it too long as turmeric might stain. For dark circles, apply a paste of Almond oil with a dash of saffron under your eyes daily at night for hydrating and soothing effect.

On lifestyle, keep stress in check with regular practice of Pranayama and meditation. Daily exercise like walking or yoga can help balance weight gradually and improve circulation, vital for skin health. Avoid late nights as much as possible, limit screen time, and stay hydrated throughout the day.

Lastly, since your weight is slightly low, monitor nutrition intake to ensure you’re getting sufficient calories and nutrients. Consider consulting a professional if necessary to support overall wellness. If symptoms persist or worsen, reaching out to a healthcare provider for further assessment is advisable.

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. 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. Sonia Shatrughna Gawali
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic medical professional who kind of grew through different corners of the field—clinical practice, research work, and even that slightly hectic corporate healthcare space. Sometimes I look back and think the journey moved faster than I planned, but each phase pushed me to understand Ayurveda in a more grounded, real-life way. My Compulsory Rotatory Internship (BAMS) from March 2023 to April 2024 gave me the first real hands-on exposure. Long rounds in OPD/IPD, taking patient histories, figuring out diagnoses based on Ayurvedic principles, assisting in Panchakarma… a lot of running around honestly. I learnt how small symptoms change the whole picture, even when I was still fixing my handwriting on case sheets or mixing a comma somewhere in documentation. That period built the base of my patient-centered care, even if I doubted a few choices here and there while learning. From July 2024 to March 2025, at Research Ayu Company, I moved into a very different space—literature review, formulation understanding, collecting data, and supporting evidence-based validation of Ayurvedic concepts. Sometimes reading the same paragraph twice because I thought I missed a tiny point, but that analytical side helped me understand Ayurveda beyond the opd desk. It made me appreciate how classical texts connect with modern research, even if I accidentally typed a few weird spellings in the reports!! Then at Jyovis Ltd (July 2025 to December 2025), I stepped into corporate healthcare. Documentation, clinical advisory roles, program coordination, and talking to multiple teams in one day… a bit chaotic at times. But that role sharpened my communication and showed me how healthcare operations actually run behind the scenes. I learnt how patient engagement strategies work practically, not just as a line in a training module. Now I am working as a Consulting Doctor, focusing fully on Ayurvedic consultation and holistic wellness. My routine includes detailed patient assessments, personalized treatments, lifestyle and diet counselling, and ongoing monitoring of outcomes. Some days I pause mid-sentence to re-think a plan because a patient mentions something small but important. I try to keep the approach clear, ethical and evidence-informed, even if my thoughts wander for a second while typing fast. My aim stays simple—to blend classical Ayurvedic wisdom with practical, patient-friendly care that actually fits into someone’s daily life, not just the textbook version of health.

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. 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.

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. Manu H S
I am a doctor with hands on experience in managing skin disorders, spinal problems and long standing joint conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Over the years I have worked with many patients who come with daily pain, stiffness, nerve related discomfort and skin issues that slowly affect their routine. My focus stays on understanding how these problems develop over time, not just treating the surface symptoms. I spend a lot of time looking at posture, movement patterns, daily habits and how the body reacts to stress and workload. Many cases involve back pain, neck stiffness, joint swelling or chronic skin concerns, and each one behaves little different. Sometimes improvement is quick, sometimes it takes patience, but I try to guide the process carefully. I believe treatment should be practical and realistic, not rushed. I pay close attention to history, lifestyle and body response before deciding next steps. Over time this approach has helped me manage long term conditions in a steady way, even when progress feels slow or uneven.

Dr. Sneha
I am currently working in Pondicherry at Hari Ashtanga Ayurveda Chikitsalaya, where I spend most of my days involved in ayurvedic clinical practice and patient care. My work is mainly focused on applying classical Ayurveda principles in a very practical way, not just theory but what actually helps people in daily life. I also study continuously alongside my work, which honestly can feel tiring some days, yet it keeps my understanding grounded and evolving. I am also actively giving consultation for yoga, diet, and nutrition, especially for patients who are looking for a more holistic and long-term approach to health. My interest lies in connecting Ayurveda with yogic lifestyle guidance and personalized nutrition plans, rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice. Sometimes I pause and rethink a recommendation, because every body reacts differntly, and that matters. My consultations usually focus on digestion, daily routine, food habits, and gentle yoga practices that supports overall balance, not quick fixes. I am trying to build a practice that feels honest and approachable, while still being rooted in traditional ayurvedic knowledge. Patient interaction teaches me as much as books do, maybe more on certain days. I believe health improves when treatment, diet, and movement are aligned, even if progress feels slow or uneven at times. I work closely with patients, listen carefully, and adjust guidance when needed, though I admit I am still learning every single day!! This mix of Ayurveda, yoga consultation, and diet & nutrition counseling defines my current professional path, and I continue to grow within it, step by step, sometimes messy, but sincere.

Dr. Prashant Pandav
I am an Ayurvedic Sexologist and Anorectal Surgeon with 18 yrs of experience — yeah that’s quite a ride when I think back. And honestly, these are two areas where patients usually wait too long before seeking help. Either they feel awkward, or they’ve been told it’s nothing, or they’ve tried 5 other things before they land in my clinic. I get that. Which is why I try to make it super easy to talk, no judgements, just straight talk and honest care. In sexual health, I deal with issues like early ejaculation, low libido, erectile challenges, and also female-related problems like painful intercourse or low desire post childbirth or menopause. A lot of these things ppl don’t even bring up unless you really create a space that feels safe. I don’t rush those consults — sometimes it takes a few minutes just to get to the *real* problem, y’know? And that’s okay. On the anorectal side, I focus on conditions like piles, fissure, fistula, and even rectal abscess — many of which ppl suffer with silently for *years*. The pain, bleeding, itching — they just live with it thinking it’ll go away. I use a mix of Ayurvedic parasurgical techniques like Ksharasutra, plus lifestyle guidance and gut correction. It’s not just about removing the issue. I also focus on stopping it from coming back again and again (which it often does if the root’s not treated). What 18 years gave me — more than anything — is pattern recognition. I see small signs and know where it’s headed. Doesn’t mean I get it right 100% but yea.. I trust my clinical eye a lot now. I’ve treated teenagers with hormonal imbalances and elderly men with long-term prostatte issues. Some recover fast, some take time, some just want someone to finally *listen* without giving weird advice. This work’s private, sensitive and kinda misunderstood too. But for me, it’s about showing up fully — whether it’s a minor pile or a deep-rooted sexual problem. Every case matters. Every body deserve comfort & clarity. That’s what I’m here for.

Dr. Sumit Tasgaonkar
I am Dr. Sumit S. Tasgaonkar — a BAMS doc who also went on to complete MS in Ayurveda surgery, along with CGO and PGDEMS. Kinda feels like I’m always learning. And maybe that’s what keeps me grounded — balancing classical Ayurvedic wisdom with real-time medical emergencies or even modern diagnostic tools. I don’t see these systems as opposites... for me, they compliment each other when you look closely enough. My work mostly revolves around chronic diseases, metabolic issues, lifestyle mess (and there’s plenty of it these days), and women’s health conditions — PCOS, hormonal imbalance, gynec stuff that needs long-term attention. I use Panchakarma, herbal meds, diet correction, sometimes just shifting someone’s daily habits does more than we expect. But it’s never one-size-fits-all. I take a lot of time getting to the root cause — dosha imbalance, agni disturbance, whatever is underneath the visible stuff. Patients dealing with arthritis, stress, skin flareups, digestion trouble — I’ve seen all of that and more. And every case teaches something new. I’m super keen on tracking progress too. Like we keep tweaking, adjusting as per prakriti and vikriti, not just protocol-for-all. And honestly, the most satisfying part? when patients tell me they feel like themselves again. I started Tasgaonkar Medical Foundation with a big dream of bringing authentic Ayurveda to more people, esp. rural areas where choices are limited. We still keep prices fair and try not to compromise on classical principles. Accessibility doesn’t mean diluting the science — that’s always been important to me. What I really want is to see more people actually understand their health. Not just pop pills or mask symptoms. I wanna give them the tools — through knowledge, through food, through breath — to live lighter and healthier. And ya, sometimes it’s messy, sometimes you doubt, sometimes you adjust everything mid-plan... but that's Ayurveda too. Listening, observing, and flowing with the body, not against it.
