Hello I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ appreciate you reaching out with your concerns. I totally get that it could be very irritating when the skin remains dull, with whiteheads appearing, and then pimples caused by the sun, all while you are taking care of your personal hygiene properly. However, don’t worry, we are ready to assist you 😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMEJT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet two times a day after meals (Helps in clearing the clogged pores and normalizes the skin metabolism.)

2. Manjisthadi Kashayam – 15 ml with an equal amount of warm water, twice a day (Blood purifier, and helps to reduce pigmentation & inflammation.)

3. Avipattikar Churna – ½ teaspoon at night (It is a drug for controlling internal Pitta (fire) which is the cause of sun acnes.)

4. Sarivasavam 30ml-0- 30ml after food (Rejuvenation of skin and energy enhancement by removing fatigue.)

✅ EXTERNAL APPLICATION

Daily Routine 1. Cleanser: Raw milk+ pinch of turmeric (evening) Gentle facewash (morning)

2. Weekly Ubtan (2–3 times/week): Multani mitti + rose water + manjistha powder (Completely avoid if skin is flaky)

3. Whiteheads (T-zone): Put Kumkumadi Taila at night on cheeks/forehead only Do not put on the nose – to prevent providing more oil to T-zone area.

4. Non-oily sunscreen: Go for a gel-based or matte zinc oxide product.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFYING

❌Very Important to Avoid (if possible): Curd at night Deep fried foods Excess of spices, tomatoes, green chilies Facials: frequent are bad for skin (once a month is fine, but no steaming) Touching/squeezing of whiteheads

☑️Include Warm water Fruits: pomegranate, papaya, strawberries 1 tsp ghee daily

Sun care - wear Scarf, use umbrella, avoid sitting near direct window sun in care

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

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.

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. Sumi. S
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with specialized expertise in Shalakya Tantra, focusing on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the Netra (eyes), Karna (ears), Nasa (nose), Mukha (oral cavity), Danta (teeth), and Shira (head and ENT region). My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Hello Dear,

Here is a clear, and effective solution based on your symptoms: dullness, pigmentation, whiteheads, small pimples after sun exposure, and sensitive T-zone.

You’re doing facials and cleansing, but the root causes seem to be: 1.Excess sebum production in T-zone 2.Sun sensitivity / photosensitivity 3.Mild clogged pores → whiteheads 4.Underlying heat (Pitta) in the skin → pigmentation + tiny pimples 5.Possible wrong products used during facials

Let’s fix all of this step-by-step with Ayurveda + dermatology logic.

🌸 Ayurvedic Internal Medicines (to reduce heat + pigmentation + oil) (Safe & gentle; take for 6–8 weeks) 1. Manjistha Capsules - 1 capsule twice daily after food 2. Neem Capsules - 1 capsule once daily after lunch 3. Amla Capsules or Juice - 1 capsule twice daily OR 10 ml juice empty stomach

If pigmentation is strong: 1.Khadirarishta – 10 ml with equal water after lunch & dinner

🌿 External Skincare Routine (Simple & Correct) Your skin needs gentle exfoliation, sun protection, and oil control, not heavy facials. ⭐ Morning Routine 1. Cleanser: Use salicylic acid face wash (2% gentle) → Helps control whiteheads and cleans pores 2. Serum:

Vitamin C 10% (only if non-irritating) OR Kumkumadi Tailam Serum (light gel version, not the oily one) 3. Moisturizer: Gel-based (Aloe gel, Neutrogena, or any light gel) 4. Sunscreen: SPF 50 PA++++ Use gel/ matte sunscreen to avoid clogging Reapply every 3 hours if in sun or travelling

(Your sun-pimples are because of photosensitivity + no reapplication.)

⭐ Night Routine 1. Cleanser (same) 2. Exfoliation (2–3 times/week) Use AHA/BHA toner or salicylic acid serum This prevents whiteheads and dullness 3. Pigmentation treatment: Apply Kumkumadi tailam (2–3 drops) OR Glycolic acid serum 5% on alternate nights 4. Moisturizer (light gel)

🌞 Sun Sensitivity Care You get small pimples after sun exposure → this is Pitta heat.

Do this: * Apply wet Aloe vera gel after coming home * Keep rose water spray in your bag * Put ice cubes wrapped in cloth 2–3 mins after heavy sun exposure * Prevents heat bumps and keeps skin calm.

💆‍♀️ Things to STOP Immediately * Stop heavy facials monthly → they make skin more sensitive (Do only once in 2–3 months → choose de-tanning facial only) * Stop scrubbing with walnut/harsh scrubs * Stop applying oils on face in daytime * Stop touching/squeezing whiteheads

🥗 Food & Lifestyle for Glow + Oil Balance Eat More: 1.Fresh fruits (papaya, pomegranate, berries) 2.Green leafy vegetables 3.Warm water daily 4.Coconut water 3–4 times/week 5.Buttermilk after lunch

Avoid: 1.Too much tea/coffee 2.Spicy, deep-fried food 3.Chocolate 4.Oily foods 5.Late sleeping

Sleep: *.Sleep before 11 PM → skin dullness improves drastically

🌟 Weekly Home Remedies Use only one, not all.

⭐ For Whiteheads (T-zone) Mix: 1 tsp Besan 1 pinch Turmeric 1 tsp Rose water Apply 10 mins → rinse (not scrub). ⭐ For Pigmentation & Glow Mix: Aloe vera gel Kumkumadi serum (2 drops) Apply 20 mins → wash off. ⭐ For Oil-control & Sun bumps Apply multani mitti + rose water pack once a week

🌼 Expected Results Timeline 7–10 days → T-zone oil improves

2 weeks → Whiteheads reduce

3–4 weeks → Skin appears brighter

6–8 weeks → Pigmentation fades gradually

8–12 weeks → Balanced, glowing, clear skin

Warm regards Dr.Sumi MS(Ayu)

HELLO,

WHAT ARE THEY? -DULL SKIN= due to tan or issues -WHITEHEADS= blocked skin pores filled with il (sebum), dead skin, and debris -They are not infectious or dangerous, but cosmetically bothersome

WHY DO THEY HAPPEN ?

IN AYURVEDA KAPHA DOSHA= excess oiliness, clogging PITTA DOSHA= heat, sweating, inflammation RAKTA DHATU = skin health imbalance

TRIGGERS -hot weather and sweating your summer issue -oily/creamy food, fried food -poor digestion-> toxins formation -heavy cosmetics , thick creams

TREATMENT GOALS -remove existing blockages (whiteheads/milia) -prevent new ones by balancing kapha and pitta -improve digestion and blood purity -strengthen skin health for long term results -reduce sweating/oiliness naturally

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 3 months =improves digestion, gentle detox, prevents constipation

2) NEEM CAPSULES= 500 mg once daily after meals for 8 weeks =bitter taste pacifies pitta/kapha, purifies blood, antibacterial

3) MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 1 month =blood purifier, skin rejuvinator

4) GUDUCHI TABLET= 250mg tab once daily in morning for 2 months =balances immunity, reduces heat, supports skin health

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

-Daily face wash= Neem water (boil neem leaves, cool, use as wash

-Weely scrub= Massor dal powder + sandalwood + rose water = gentle exfoliation

-Face pack= 2-3 times weekly -sandalwood + rose water OR neem + turmeric + aloe vera gel

-Spot treatment= dab diluted clove oil on stubborn bumps not on whole face

DIET -light, cooling foods= khichdi, green vegetables, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, pumpkin -Fruits= pomegranate, apple, papaya, watermelon -spices= coriander, fennel, turmeric, cumin

AVOID -oily, fried, creamy foods -excess sweets, curd, cheese, butter -pickles, fermented foods, heavy night meals -too much coffee/tea/alcohol

LIFESTYLE

FACE CARE -wash face with cool water after sweating -use light moisturisers aloe vera gel, avoid heavy creams

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early, practice yoga/pranayam, eat night meals -avoid sleeping during the day increase kapha

SWEAT MANAGEMENT -carry rose water spray to refresh skin in summer

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana= improves circulation -Vajrasana= improves digestion -Pawanmuktasana=removes toxins

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata, pitta, kapha -Sheetali/sheetkari= cooling, reduces body heat -Bhramari= calms stress

Practice 10-15 min daily

HOME REMEDIES -Apply aloe vera gel + turmeric paste locally -Apply multani mitti pack once weekly to absorb excess oil -drink coriander seed water in morning -apply raw honey as a thin mask=antibacterial, mild exfoliate

-DULL SKIN AND WHITEHEADS are benign but indicate imbalance in skin health -Ayurveda works both internally and externally -Consistency is key= follow both remedies for 8-12 weeks to see improvement

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

To address dull and pigmented skin along with whiteheads, consider a home regimen deeply rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom. Whiteheads and dullness suggest an imbalance in Kapha dosha, which tends to lead to clogged pores and excess oiliness. Include specific herbs and ingredients in your daily routine that can help balance this dosha and improve skin clarity.

1. Cleansing Routine: Use a gentle cleanser with neem or tulsi extracts to cleanse twice daily. These ingredients have antibacterial properties that support clear skin. Avoid excessive scrubbing which can irritate your skin further.

2. Exfoliation and Mask: Exfoliate gently twice a week using a mix of chickpea flour (besan) and a pinch of turmeric with enough yogurt to form a paste. This mix can help in removing dead skin and promoting a healthier glow.

3. Hydration and Moisturizing: Lightly apply aloe vera gel as a moisturizer; it hydrates without being heavy on the skin. For additional benefit, you can mix rose water in your aloe vera gel.

4. Sun Protection: Since sun exposure leads to pimples for you, apply a non-comedogenic, natural sunscreen that contains zinc oxide when exposed to sun, including while inside the car.

5. Dietary Adjustments: Consume a diet that reduces Kapha aggravation. Include foods like barley, millet, apples to reduce oiliness. Stay hydrated, water infused with mint leaves or a hint of lemon can be refreshing.

6. Herbal Remedies: Drinking warm ginger tea can boost your digestive fire (agni) which is vital for healthy skin.

Maintain these routines consistently over time to see improvement. In case of persistent or severe symptoms, seeking professional medical advice may be necessary as these could point to underlying issues that need specialist care.

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. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

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. Bhupinder Bhushan Dembla
I am practicing Ayurveda for more than 30 years now, mostly with people who're dealing with skin issues or gastric-type problems—like long-standing acne, eczema, chronic gastritis, hyperacidity, food allergies, & other things that just keep flaring up. Many of them come after trying different stuff, sometimes allopathic, sometimes home remedies... but no stable relief. I try to keep things simple. Just follow the basics of Ayurveda—understand why that imbalance is happening and fix it from there. One patient might need diet cleanup, another might need specific herbs, someone else might actually just need to stop skipping meals or sleeping late. It's always case by case. I don’t use big packages or “one fits all” methods. Never liked that approach, it doesn’t work in long term. I mostly rely on classical Ayurvedic medicines, adjust the ahara & vihara where needed, and give enough time to track progress. When someone really follows through... results show. Even ppl who’d almost given up on skin or stomach issues get back a better rhythm. Honestly, I’ve seen how often things are connected—digestion messing up the skin or poor eating triggering mood & immunity both. These small internal things matter way more than ppl realise. And I still believe Ayurveda works best when it’s done without overcomplicating. No fancy detox unless needed, no unnecessary panic. Just the right nudge in the right direction. That’s what I keep doing, day after day, trying to make ppl feel better without pushing them into harsh treatments or side effects. It takes patience, for sure, but it’s worth it.
