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.

This is a comprehensive set of concerns, and it’s excellent that you’ve already adopted a healthy diet and exercise routine. . Your symptoms suggest a potential imbalance, likely involving Pitta (fire/metabolism) and Kapha (earth/water/structure) doshas, which are key to understanding the root cause in Ayurveda.

1. Skin Concerns: Oily Skin, Wrinkles, Dark Spots (Hyperpigmentation)

In Ayurveda, skin issues like hyperpigmentation and oily skin are often linked to an imbalance of Pitta (heat, inflammation, blood impurities) and sometimes excess Kapha (oiliness).

Internal Balance (Diet & Lifestyle): Focus on Pitta-Pacifying Foods: Your current diet (chicken, fish, salmon, salad, sweet potatoes, water) is generally good, but you may need to reduce excess heat. Be mindful of very hot/spicy foods, excessive consumption of citrus (like lots of orange juice/lemon water), or overly sour foods, as these can aggravate Pitta.

Aloe Vera: Cooling and healing. Use fresh gel internally (a small amount) and externally.

Hydration: Continue drinking plenty of water. Room temperature or warm water is preferred over cold.

External Care (Products & Routine): Cleanse: Use a gentle, herbal cleanser. Look for ingredients like Neem or Gram Flour (Besan), which help manage oil and cleanse without stripping the skin.

Tone: Rose water is a classic Pitta-pacifying toner. Masks/Spot Treatment: Sandalwood (Chandan) and Rose Water Paste: Sandalwood is very cooling and helps with dark spots and heat-related issues.

Moisturize/Oil: For wrinkles, consider a few drops of an Ayurvedic oil like Kumkumadi Tailam at night. Although your skin is oily, these oils are formulated to balance the skin and can be applied sparingly to address wrinkles and dark spots.

Sun Protection: This is critical for hyperpigmentation, especially for darker skin tones. Ayurveda emphasizes protection from direct, intense sun, which is a major Pitta aggravator. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

2. Hair Loss, Fallout, Breakage, Bald Spots, and Edges

Hair issues are typically seen as a Pitta and Vata imbalance. Pitta-related loss often involves heat, inflammation, and thinning, while Vata-related loss involves dryness, breakage, and damage. Your symptoms suggest a need to cool Pitta and nourish Vata.

Ayurvedic Approach & Advice:

Internal Nourishment (Diet & Supplements): Nourish the Dhatus (Tissues): Hair is a by-product of bone tissue. Ensuring good nutrition helps. Your current diet with fish, salmon, nuts, and seeds is good for protein and healthy fats.

External Care (Routine & Products): Oil Massage (Shiro Abhyanga): This is essential. Use warm herbal oils 1-3 times a week before washing. Bhringaraj oil, Brahmi oil, or Coconut oil (Coconut is very cooling and good for Pitta-related heat/inflammation). Sesame oil is good for Vata/dryness. You may need a blend. Gently massage the scalp, especially the edges, for 10-15 minutes to increase circulation.

Gentle Cleansing: Avoid harsh shampoos. Look for natural cleansers like Shikakai or Reetha (soap nuts). Avoid Heat Damage: Minimize heat styling, chemical treatments, and tight styles that stress the edges. The breakage and damage suggest a need to address the Vata element of dryness and lack of lubrication.

3. Abdominal Fat Loss and Waist Reduction

Excess abdominal fat is predominantly an accumulation of Kapha dosha, which is characterized by heaviness, stagnation, and fat tissue accumulation (Meda Dhatu). Your commitment to a healthy diet and exercise is the foundation, but Ayurveda can offer targeted support.

Ayurvedic Approach & Advice:

Focus on Kapha-Pacifying Diet: Warm, Light, and Dry: Favor cooked vegetables and light grains. Minimize excessively sweet, cold, oily, or heavy foods.

Spices (Agni Enhancers): Spices are key to igniting your digestive fire (Agni). Use liberal amounts of Ginger, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Cumin, Coriander, and Turmeric in your cooking. Honey: Use honey as your sweetener sparingly, and never cook or mix it with hot liquids (like a hot tea), as Ayurveda considers cooked honey toxic (Ama). Add it to warm (not hot) water or as a topping. Ayurvedic Drinks: Drink warm water throughout the day. Consider a simple detox tea: CCF Tea (Cumin, Coriander, Fennel seeds steeped in hot water). Start your day with warm water and lemon (without honey) to boost Agni.

Exercise and Routine: Consistency: Your current workout routine is good. Ensure it includes dynamic movement (to balance Kapha) and core work (like yoga poses: Naukasana/Boat Pose, Bhujangasana/Cobra Pose).

Udwarthanam (Dry Powder Massage): A specific Ayurvedic massage using herbal powders to stimulate fat metabolism and circulation. You can try self-massaging vigorously with a rough silk glove or a dry brush.

Kapalabhati Pranayama (Breath of Fire): This strong breathing exercise is excellent for stimulating the abdomen and digestive fire (Agni). Practice on an empty stomach.

Summary of Suggested Products/Remedies: For Skin 1) arogyavardhini rasa-500 mg before food with manjishtadi kashaya 3 times 2) syrup rakta shodhaka- 20 ml after food 2 times with water 3) kumkumadi oil- massage 2 times on face Hair (Loss, Damage, Edges) 1) bhringa amalakadi oil - massage 10 min 2 times 2) bhringraj churna 3 gm+ saptamrita loha 500 mg - after food with ghee and honey

Belly Fat (Waist Reduction) 1) tab navaka gugglu - 2 tab before food 3 times with honey

2) tab varunadi kashaya- after food with water 3 times

Hello Kimberly Thank you for sharing your concerns in detail. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ YOUR MAIN CONCERNS

1. Skin – Wrinkles, dark spots, uneven tone, oily skin. 2. Hair – Hair fall, thinning, breakage, bald spots, weak edges. 3. Body – Stubborn belly fat, want a smaller waist.

✅FOR SKIN (Wrinkles + Dark Spots + Oily Skin)

👉Internal support

1 Amla (Vitamin C rich) daily – fresh juice or powder in water.

2 Aloe vera juice 20 ml in the morning – helps cleanse liver and reduce pigmentation.

3 Flax seeds / chia seeds – balance oil production and reduce wrinkles.

👉Internal Medication 1 Manjisthadi ks tab 2-0-2 after food 2 Sarivasava 30ml-0-30ml after food

👉Topical natural care

Face pack: Sandalwood powder + rose water + turmeric (once weekly).

Use aloe vera gel or rose water as a toner for oily skin.

Moisturizer: Cold-pressed sesame oil or almond oil at night (only 2–3 drops).

✅FOR HAIR LOSS AND BALP SPOTS

✅Scalp nourishment

Warm onion juice + aloe vera gel mix, apply to scalp 30 minutes before washing – promotes regrowth. Massage with bhringraj oil + coconut oil 2–3 times weekly.

✅Internal Medication 1 Groo 1-0-1 after food 2 Jeevamrutham 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water

Patience is key – new hair growth usually takes 3–6 months with consistent care.

✅FOR BELLY FAT AND WAIST SLIMMING

✅Diet modification

You already eat very healthy 👏 – just reduce orange juice & honey (too much sugar slows fat loss).

Focus on high-protein meals (lentils, beans, fish, eggs, quinoa).

Eat dinner light and before 7:30 pm.

✅Herbal support

1 Slimlim 1-0-1 after food

✅PHYSICAL EXERCISE

Exercise Core strengthening: planks, leg raises, twists. Mix cardio (walking, cycling) with strength training (weights / resistance bands).

✅ Lifestyle & Confidence Boost

Sleep well (7–8 hours) – helps skin glow and prevents weight gain.

Stress reduction (yoga, meditation, journaling) – stress worsens both hair fall & belly fat.

Consistency – visible results for hair & skin usually show in 3–6 months, for belly fat 2–4 months with diet + exercise.

Get your thyroid, Vitamin D, Iron, B12 checked – they affect hair, skin, and weight.

Don’t jump from one product to another; stick to a routine for at least 2–3 months.

👉 With discipline, you’ll see smoother skin, stronger hair, and a leaner waist in a few months.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO KIMBERLY

Thank you so much for sharing so freely, Kimberly . I understand the intense frustration you’re holding with skin issues, hair problems, and needing to control your weight in a healthy manner. Ayurveda presents a wholistic approach—addressing not only the body, but also bringing balance back to your digestion, hormones, stress levels, and your confidence level.

1. Knowing Your Constitution (Prakriti & Imbalance) Based on your symptoms: -Oily complexion, dark spots, wrinkles → Pitta + Kapha imbalance -Hair loss, thinning edges, bald patches → Vata + Pitta imbalance (stress, heat, circulation problems) -Stomach fat, slow waist loss → Kapha imbalance (slow digestion, water retention) **Therefore, you require a Pitta-Kapha balancing regimen along with some Vata nourishment for hair.

2. Skin Health (Wrinkles, Dark Spots, Greasy Skin) Daily care: -Cleanser: Apply a natural cleanser with neem, turmeric, or manjistha powder (mix with rose water). -Toner: Rose water or cucumber water spray. -Moisturizer: Aloe vera gel with a few drops of jojoba oil. -Weekly: Use a face pack of sandalwood + turmeric + chickpea flour + rose water. Useful for pigmentation, excess oil, and smoothness.

Internal herbs: 1) Manjistha capsules– 1 cap twice daily after meals =blood purifier, dark spot clearer.

2) Neem capsules/powder –1 cap twice daily after meals = oil balancer and toxin balancer.

3) Amla powder or juice – 1 tsp with warm water in morning =rich in vitamin C, stops wrinkles and heals skin.

3. Hair Loss, Breakage, Bald Spots External care: -Warm oil massage 2–3 times/week: -Apply Bhringraj oil or Coconut oil with curry leaves & fenugreek seeds. -Massage scalp gently to enhance blood flow. -Avoid chemicals, tight styles, and too much heat.

-Weekly hair mask: Aloe vera gel + hibiscus powder + fenugreek paste → fortifies roots.

Internal herbs: 1)Bhringraj powder/capsules –1 cap at night “King of hair” in Ayurveda.

2) Ashwagandha – 1 tsp powder with warm milk at bedtime reduce stress-related hair fall.

3)Triphala – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime cleanses gut, improves nutrient absorption for hair.

4. Stomach Fat & Waist Reduction You’re already eating clean—great foundation Now, Ayurveda focuses on Agni (digestive fire):

Diet guidance: -Prefer warm, lightly spiced foods (ginger, cumin, turmeric, black pepper). -Avoid too much orange juice & sweet fruits (increase Kapha & sugar). -Use lemon water instead. -Drink honey water (warm, not hot) in the morning – aids in reducing fat. -Dinner is light: soup, vegetables, or kichari (lentils + rice + spices).

Lifestyle: -Fasting: Intermittent fasting (like you already do) is fine. -Yoga: Twist postures, kapalabhati (fire breath), plank variations. -Walking after meals aids digestion and avoids belly fat storage.

Ayurvedic herbs: 1)Triphala at night – aids digestion, removes toxins.

2) Triphala Guggul –2 tabs after meals naturally burns excess fat.

3)Fenugreek seeds (overnight soaked) – stabilizes sugar, supports metabolism.

5. Mind-Body Connection -At times, skin, hair, and weight problems get aggravated by stress hormones. -Meditation/Pranayama: Do 10–15 mins every day. -Abhyanga (self-massage) – alleviates stress, balances doshas. -Sleep: Try to have 7–8 hrs; poor sleep causes hair loss & skin problems.

6. Product Recommendations (Ayurvedic) For skin: Neem + Manjistha + Aloe vera gel products. For hair: Bhringraj oil, Brahmi oil, Hibiscus-based hair mask. For metabolism: Triphala, Guggul, Fenugreek. For stress: Ashwagandha, Brahmi. Choose organic or Ayurvedic brands such as Himalaya, Banyan Botanicals, Kerala Ayurveda, or Organic India.

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Addressing the concerns about your skin, hair, and weight requires a comprehensive approach based on Ayurvedic principles. For wrinkles and dark spots, the focus should be on enhancing your skin’s natural glow and tone. Massage your face with Kumkumadi Tailam, which contains saffron, an ingredient renowned for brightening and nourishing the skin. Use a paste of Turmeric (Haldi) mixed with honey and a few drops of lemon juice as a weekly mask. This can help even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation. Avoid excessive sun exposure and apply a natural sunscreen like aloe vera gel with a few drops of coconut oil.

For oily skin management, cleansing is crucial. Prepare a face wash with chickpea flour (Besan), turmeric, and yogurt. This will help to remove the excess oil. Drinking warm water with a pinch of turmeric every morning could support internal detoxification and improve skin health over time.

Regarding hair loss, your diet and stress management are key. Nourish your hair her with Amla (Indian Gooseberry) supplements or fresh juice, and consider applying Bhringraj oil thrice weekly. This strengthens the hair follicles reducing breakage and promoting regrowth. Brahmi and Ashwagandha supplements can balance doshas, reducing stress which is vital for hair health.

For reducing stomach fat, focus on strengthening your digestive system (Agni). Consider Trikatu powder—a blend of three spices (black pepper, long pipper, ginger) to boost metabolism. Consume this before meals for better digestion. Engage in Kapalabhati (a breathing exercise) in morning to aid in reducing belly fat, however caution is needed if you have high blood pressure.

Remember to maintain consistency while respecting your body’s unique constitution. Alongside, a holistic routine underpinned by the wisdom of Ayurveda can lead to profound improvements in well-being and self-confidence over time.

For the issues you’re dealing with, the Siddha-Ayurvedic approach considers the balance of doshas and the vitality of agni, or digestive fire. Let’s break down your concerns.

Firstly, for skin issues like wrinkles, dark spots, and smoothing, a high amount of pitta imbalance could be playing a role. Oily skin further suggests kapha involvement. Applying a turmeric and sandalwood paste has a cooling effect and can help clarify the skin. Be sure to use these external applications sparingly and consult with a professional to avoid aggravating conditions. Avoid hot, spicy, and greasy foods to decrease pitta and kapha, which can exacerbate these skin conditions.

Hair issues such as loss and breakage can also be linked to pitta dosha imbalance, possibly aggravated by mental stress (also rooted in vata aggravation). Applying bhringraj oil regularly can nourish hair roots and promote growth. Incorporating amla in your diet or as a supplement helps fortify hair by providing natural Vitamin C, supporting both kapha and pitta balance.

For fat on the stomach, even with a healthy diet, stubborn belly fat can reflect low digestive fire or agni. Adding a pinch of trikatu (a mix of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) to your meals can enhance digestion and metabolism, encouraging weight loss. Regularly practice twisting yoga poses to stimulate digestion and help reduce abdominal fat.

You are already following a good diet and hydration but ensure exercise includes varying routines like yoga or pilates plus regular cardiovascular activities. Avoid late heavy meals which can slow digestive fire. All changes should align with your lifestyle so they remain sustainable and effective.

This advice is grounded in Ayurvedic practices; however, always consult with healthcare providers when trying new routines, especially when considering potential interactions or pre-existing conditions.

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.

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. 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. 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. 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. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. 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. Shivam Mishra
As a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with over 3 years of clinical experience, I focus on treating chronic and complex health conditions through a classical yet patient-centered approach. My core areas of practice include the Ayurvedic management of cancer support care, infertility, digestive disorders, liver cirrhosis, and chronic pain. I emphasize treating the root cause of disease rather than just the symptoms, ensuring each treatment is tailored to the patient's constitution (Prakriti), lifestyle, and overall health goals. I rely on the deep principles of Ayurveda, including herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, Rasayana chikitsa (rejuvenation), dietary recommendations, and mind-body alignment to promote healing that is both natural and sustainable. My goal is not just to alleviate symptoms but to enhance overall quality of life, especially in chronic conditions where long-term management and patient confidence are essential. My passion for clinical research in Ayurveda drives me to explore new and innovative ways to improve outcomes for patients with chronic diseases. I continuously study classical texts and modern clinical findings to refine my treatment protocols. This research-oriented mindset enables me to bridge traditional knowledge with current health challenges, aiming to offer evidence-based holistic care that remains true to Ayurvedic wisdom. I firmly believe that every patient’s journey is unique. I work closely with each individual, offering compassionate guidance and a structured healing process that integrates physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Whether someone is navigating long-term health challenges or seeking preventive care through Ayurveda, I strive to empower them with knowledge, natural therapies, and continuous support throughout their healing journey.

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. Farzana Roshan
I am an Ayurvedic doctor with 5 years hands-on expereince trying to understand the person behind the disease, not just the symptoms on paper. I mostly believe that healing isn’t just about giving the "right" medicine – it’s about going deeper, finding the root cause, and working with the body, not against it. That’s what Ayurveda means to me—real, root-level work. I deal with all kinds of chronic stuff... like joint pain, arthritis, even the really nagging ones like lumbar disc problems and sciatica, where people have tried everything but still struggle with daily pain. I use a combination of classical formulations, local therapies like kati basti or lepam, plus guided diet & movement plans to help improve mobility and reduce stiffness. It’s not magic, but when people start getting their sleep back and can bend without wincing, that’s when you know it’s working. Stress, anxiety, insomnia—those are another huge part of what I treat. And honestly, they connect to everything else—thyroid imbalances, PCOS, weight gain, even diabetes. I’ve worked with women going through irregular cycles, PCOS struggles, even some who've had difficulty conceiving. In those cases, I focus a lot on dinacharya, herbs that regulate hormones naturally, and correcting lifestyle patterns that disrupt sleep or metabolism. Diabetes and obesity? That’s a long game. I usually help patients understand not just what to eat, but when and how. Tiny shifts in food timings and digestion make a big difference in blood sugar control. I don’t follow a one-size approach—some people respond fast, others need time... and I stick with them through that. I also see many kidney and gallstone cases—painful and frustrating, yes, but manageable through Ayurvedic herbs and flushing therapies, when applied carefully. Skin disorders, too—eczema, acne, even the stubborn fungal infections—these often come from deeper imbalances in pitta or rakta dhatu. Once we clean that internally, changes start to show outside. Ayurveda’s strength is in tailoring. That’s how I work—listen, observe, plan. Each person, each plan. Healing that actually fits you.
