I have a skin problem red dot in my wholebody and - #35094

श्रवण कुमार

I'm getting red rashes and itching on my skin. I've had this problem for 1.5 years. I got treatment from AIIMS, but now the problem is starting again. So can I start taking Ayurvedic medicine and can I use Patanjali products (e.g., Neem Ghanvati, Kaya Kalp Vati) or could there be any problem?

Age: 23
Chronic illnesses: Skin problem

Hello Shravan Kumar, I understand how uncomfortable and distressing it can be to have persistent red rashes and itching all over the body — especially when it keeps coming back even after treatment. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

(You can safely start Ayurvedic medicines even if you’ve taken modern treatment before, but maintain a 1-2 hr gap between both if you continue any.)

1. Gandhak Rasayan – 1-0-1 after food ( Purifies blood, reduces itching & rashes)

2. Manjisthadi kashyam – 15–20 ml with equal water after food ( Cleanses Rakta (blood), reduces inflammation and rashes)

3. Sarivadyasava – 20 ml twice daily after food ( Excellent for chronic skin allergies, itching, and redness

4 Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water .(Cleanses intestines and supports detoxification)

✅ EXTERNAL APPLICATION

1. Mahamarichyadi Taila – Apply on rashes and itchy areas once or twice daily ( Anti-fungal, antibacterial, reduces inflammation)

2. Bathing Care:

Use Neem or Panchagavya soap (avoid chemical soaps) Add Neem leaves or Triphala decoction to bathing water once or twice a week

✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

✅ Include-

Fresh fruits (pomegranate, apple, papaya) Boiled vegetables, green leafy vegetables Cow ghee (½–1 tsp daily) Plenty of warm water, herbal teas (Neem, Tulsi, Guduchi)

❌ Avoid-

Spicy, sour, and oily food Curd, fish, meat, egg (till skin clears) Bakery items, tea, coffee, and alcohol Late nights or stress (worsens Pitta & Vata imbalance)

✅ ABOUT PATANJALI PRODUCTS

Yes, you can use Patanjali Neem Ghanvati and Kaya Kalp Vati, but: Use one at a time (not both together initially)

Combine with blood purifying medicines like Manjisthadikashaya and Sarivadyasava for better results

Monitor for 2–3 weeks — if itching reduces, continue

Avoid if any burning sensation or loose motion occurs

✅ PANCHAKARMA THERAPIES ( As you are duffering since long better to go for panchakarma therapies)

1. Virechana (Purgation therapy) – Clears accumulated Pitta and toxins from the liver and blood 2. Raktamokshana (Bloodletting therapy) – Especially effective for chronic allergic skin disorder 3. Abhyanga with Neem or Sariva oil + Swedana (herbal steam) – Reduces itching and inflammation

✅GENERAL CARE

Keep your nails short to prevent infection from scratching Wear loose cotton clothes Manage stress with meditation or light yoga Apply aloe vera gel (fresh) for soothing effect if rashes flare up

Once medicines are started properly, clear improvement is usually seen within 4–6 weeks.

Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Thank you for sharing your concern since your skin, rashes and heating have been recurring for a long time. It suggests that the root cause is still active inside often due to toxin, buildup and imbalance in digestion and immunity. Yes, you can say please start Ayurvedic medicines. They help purify the blood and calm internal inflammation. Patanjali products like Neem Ganvati and Kayakalpa vati are generally safe to use

You may take Kayakalpa vati -one tablet twice daily before food with warm water Neemghan vati -one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Kaishore guggulu-one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Haridra khanda -half teaspoon with warm water after food twice daily

Triphala churna-1 teaspoon with warm water at night Drink plenty of warm water, eat fresh home, cooked meals and avoid spicy, oily and junk foods Continue for 6 to 8 weeks and observe improvement

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.

The return of these persistent red rashes and itching suggests an imbalance in your doshas, likely pitta and perhaps an aggravated vata as well. In Ayurveda, managing such skin conditions involves addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms. While you consider using Ayurvedic medicine like Neem Ghanvati and Kaya Kalp Vati, it’s essential to understand their suitability based on your prakriti and current condition.

Neem, known for its potent detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties, can be helpful. Neem Ghanvati might support the cleansing of your blood, helping to reduce the inflammation causing rashes. However, its cooling nature suits individuals with a pitta imbalance more. If your dominant dosha is vata, be cautious; Neem might aggravate it. Kaya Kalp Vati, on the other hand, aims to promote skin health by balancing all three doshas but consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure its Ayurveda compatibility with your unique constitution and current imbalance.

Diet and lifestyle modifications also play a crucial role. Try adopting a pitta-pacifying diet, including cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and bitter greens. Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods as they can aggravate pitta. Increase intake of coconut water, which cools down the body naturally. Pay attention to your daily routine and stress levels, as they contribute significantly to skin issues. Make sure to sleep well, and avoid late nights.

While using Ayurvedic herbs and formulations can be beneficial, it’s critical not to stop any treatment from your doctor without consultation. Combining Ayurvedic remedies with ongoing treatments can sometimes lead to complications if not managed properly. Therefore, see a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to create an integrated treatment approach suitable for you. If the itching is severe or accompanied by other serious symptoms, it would be necessary to seek immediate medical attention.

HELLO SHRAVAN,

When you get red rashes, itching and red dots all over the body for a long time, it means your skin and blood are reacting to internal imbalances, not just an external infection or allergy

From the Ayurvedic point of view -Pitta dosha had increased -> causes redness, burning, rashes -Kapha dosha mixes with Pitta-> causes oozing, thick rash, itching -Rakta dhatu (blood) becomes “impure” because of these doshas -> results in chronic skin disease

TREATMENT GOALS -purify blood -paacify pitta and kapha doshas -remove toxins -support liver function -nourish skin -prevent recurrence through diet and lifestyle correction

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) NEEM GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 12 weeks =antibacterial, anti inflammatory, reduces itching and rashes

2) KAYA KALP VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =improves skin metabolism, reduces pitta and kapha

3) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =detoxifies liver and regulates metabolism

4) KHADIRARISHTA= 15ml + warm water twice daily before meals for 3 months = cleanses rakta and remove toxins

5) GANDHAK RASAYANA = 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =enhaances immunity and reduces inflammation

6) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =improves digestion, reduces Ama

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) NEEM DECOCTION OR TURMERIC WATER BATH =reduces itching, acts as antiseptic

2) KAILAS JEEVAN CREAM/ NEEM -CHANDAN LEPA -applythin layer on rashes twice daily =soothes inflammation

3) KARANJ TAILA= massage lightly 20-30 min before bath =balances kapha-pitta, removes toxins

4) ALOE VERA GEL= after bath =mositurizes and cools skin

Avoid heavy, sticky creams or petroleum jelly- they can trap heat and aggravate. pitta

DIET -fresh fruits= pomegranate, apple, papaya,amla, guava -vegetable bitter gourd, bottle gourd , ridge gourd, pumpkin -grains= rice, wheat, barley -lentils= moong dal, massor dal -beverages= coconut water, amla juice buttermilk (diluted with water and cumin) -spices= turmeric, coriander, cumin ,fennel avoid chilli

AVOID -spicy, oily, fried, and sour foods -fermented foods - curd , pickles, vinegar -junk food, alcohol, caffeine, red meat -excess salt and sugar -nightshades tomato, brinjal if they worsen itching

HOME REMEDIES -neem + turmeric paste= apply on rashes for 15 min daily -Aloe vera pulp= apply directly from the plant-cools and repairs skin -drink boiled water with turmeric (1/2 tsp) an 1 tsp aloe vera juice every morning -use sandalwood paste for burning sensation -apply coconut oil mixed with camphor 1 pinch at night for itching

LIFESTYLE -bath twice daily with neem/tulsi water -wear loose, cotton clothes -keep skin dry and clean -manage stress- emotional heat worsens pitta -sleep early wake early

AVOID -daytime sleep -overexpoure to sun or heat -tight synthetic clothing -scratching the rashes

YOGA ASANAS -sarvangasana= improves blood circulation -bhujangasana= supports liver and skin -ardha matsyendrasana= detoxifies liver -trikonasana= balances pitta and kapha -shavasana= reduces stress hormones

PRANAYAM -Sheetali and sheetkari -anulom vilom -bhramari

Initial relief= 3-4 weeks- less itching, redness reduces Significant improvement= 2-3 months Full detoxification and skin normalization= 4-6 months -maintenance= light diet, triphala and neem based support

Chronic skin disease take time and consistency to heal. Ayurveda focuses on root cause removal not only symptom suppression

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Considering your ongoing issue with red rashes and itching, it’s important first to understand that such symptoms can often relate to imbalances in the body’s doshas—primarily Pitta and possibly Vata. This imbalance can manifest as heat and dryness on the skin. An Ayurvedic perspective would aim to address the root cause: excess Pitta that generates inflammation and Vata that contributes to dryness and irritation.

To balance Pitta, cooling herbs and dietary adjustments may be effective. Neem, present in Neem Ghanvati, is traditionally used for its cooling properties and can help manage Pitta-related skin irritations. You can start with a low dose and gradually adjust based on your body’s response. Similarly, Kaya Kalp Vati, composed of herbs known for detoxifying and nourishing the skin, can be used. However, it’s crucial to start with a certified practitioner to tailor the dosage to your specific prakriti and ensure it’s suitable given your history.

Besides herbs, integrate lifestyle changes to support this treatment. Keep hydrated but avoid very spicy, oily, or sour foods which can aggravate Pitta. Favor cooling foods such as cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Exposure to sunlight should be moderated.

Following daily abhyanga (self-massage) with cooling oils like coconut or sesame can soothe the skin by countering Vata dryness while promoting doshic balance.

If these rashes intensify or come with other symptoms like fever, it’s essential to seek medical help to rule out any underlying conditions that may require immediate attention. Always inform your healthcare provider about any complementary treatments you’re considering to ensure a comprehensive approach to your well-being.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh
I am Dr. Gursimran Jeet Singh, born and raised in Punjab where culture and traditions almost naturally guided me toward Ayurveda. From very early days I felt more drawn to natural ways of healing, and this curiosity finally led me to pursue Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) at Shri Dhanwantry Ayurvedic College, Chandigarh—an institution known for shaping strong Ayurvedic physicians. During those years I learned not only the classical texts and treatment methods, but also how to look at health through a very practical, human lense. For the past five years I worked in clinical practice, where patients come with wide range of concerns—from chronic digestion troubles to autoimmune illness—and I try to integrate both Ayurveda and modern medical knowledge to give them the most complete care I can. Sometimes western diagnostics help me to understand the stage of disease, while Ayurveda helps me design treatment that address root cause. This bridging approach is not always easy, but I believe it’s necessary for today’s health challanges. Currently I am also pursuing higher studies in Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is an area I feel very strongly about—it is not just detox, it is a whole system of cleansing, rejuvenation, rebalancing, and I want to deepen my expertise here. In practice, I combine Panchakarma with lifestyle guidance, diet planning, herbal remedies, yoga and mindfulness practices depending on what a patient actually needs at that moment. No two cases are same, and Ayurveda reminds me daily that healing must be personal. My approach is always focused on root-cause management rather than temporary relief. Diet, herbs, therapeutic oils, meditation routines, and simple daily habits—they all work together when chosen rightly. Sometimes results come slow, sometimes faster, but I try to keep care sustainable and compassionate. Helping someone regain energy, sleep better, or reduce pain, that is the real achievement in my journey. And I continue learning, because Ayurveda is deep, it doesn’t finish with one degree or one training, it grow with every patient and every experiance.My specialties lie in treating a range of chronic and lifestyle-related conditions using Ayurveda’s time-tested principles, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution (Prakriti). I have significant expertise in managing digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, constipation, diabetes, obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases. I also specialize in addressing stress-related and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout, which are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. By integrating therapies like Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead) to calm the nervous system, Abhyanga (herbal oil massages) to balance Vata dosha, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, I help patients achieve mental clarity and emotional resilience. In the field of musculoskeletal and joint health, I excel in treating conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using therapies such as Kati Basti (localized oil retention on the lower back) and potent anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Shallaki, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving joint mobility, and strengthening tissues. My treatments have helped many patients, particularly those seeking non-invasive alternatives, regain mobility and reduce pain through a blend of internal medications and external therapies. Skin disorders are another key area of my practice, where I address conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and pigmentation issues holistically. By focusing on blood purification and balancing Pitta dosha and detoxifying Panchakarma techniques like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). My approach targets dietary and lifestyle triggers, offering sustainable results for clients who previously relied on temporary solutions like topical steroids. My dual expertise in Ayurveda and modern medicine allows me to create integrative treatment plans that are both effective and safe. I am deeply committed to patient education, empowering individuals to embrace Ayurvedic principles for sustainable health. Through this online platform, I am excited to offer virtual consultations, making the profound benefits of Ayurveda accessible to all. Whether you seek relief from a specific condition or aim to enhance overall vitality, I look forward to guiding you on your journey to balance and well-being with compassion and expertise.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. 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. Kahekashan Awatif Khanam
I am an Ayurvedic physician who kinda took the long way round in practice, but I feel that helped. I started off in the surgical dept., worked for a full year under a general surgeon—ya, in an allopathic setup—mostly assisting with diabetic wounds, dressing changes, debridement and post-op wound healing. That phase really taught me patience... and precision too. I wasn’t just watching, I was doing the stuff daily. Lot of tissue work, infection management, gauging healing speed—it all stayed with me even as I moved into Ayurveda fully. Now I run OPD-based practice in Mumbai. My major focus right now is musculoskeletal n autoimmune things—Amavata, Sandhivata—basically arthritis spectrum. I see a lot of cervical spondylysis, sciatica, frozen shoulder, you name it. I use internal meds + local therapies, mostly oil applications, kati basti, snehan–swedana combos. In few cases we do deeper detox (panchakarma types), but I keep it minimal unless needed. Pain relief is big, yes, but I’m more interested in building back lost mobility. Kidney stones is another area I take up often—non-surgical management only. Not everyone knows this but a lot of small-medium calculi *can* pass with the right formulations + diet corrections. It takes close monitoring, like a lot of it, but many patients avoid surgery when they stick to the plan. I always go case by case though, I don’t generalize stone care. Also yeah, I’m a certified nutritionist too, which kind of bridges the gap for me. I don’t believe Ayurveda and food can be handled separate. What they eat during vata aggravation or post-shodhana affects outcomes way more than people think. I like working on chronic cases, especially the ones who’ve seen too many doctors and still feel stuck. My treatment plans aren’t flashy, but I do adjust every small detail for each person. That’s where I think it works—the tuning, not the intensity.

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. 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. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

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. 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.
