Namaste I can understand your concern Eczema can be very annoying when it is a long time and you have to use steroids, injections, and repeated suppressive treatments, but it still gets worse but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅ CURRENT SKIN CONDITION

➡️ Extremely dry and flaky – requires internal + external unctuousness ➡️ Itchy & scaly from 2023 – deep, chronic ➡️ Topical steroids are not working – suggests the need for Shodhana

✅ AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN

✅ SHODHANA (Detox + Srotoshodhana) (This is a light detox that you may perform at home) All these activities can be done at home, and they are safe.

👉 Morning Detox Drink Warm water + 1 tsp Triphala powder + 1 tsp Aloe vera juice Take it daily on an empty stomach.

👉 Once-a-week gentle Virechana (home-based) 2 tsp castor oil + warm milk at bedtime once a week Works to remove Pitta & Ama from the skin channels.

👉 Sinus Steam & Kapha Control

Regular steaming 5–7 mins every evening It helps in headache relief, nasal blockage, & the irritation in postnasal area.

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION (They are safe, non-steroidal, & skin-healing)

1.Gandhak Rasayana – 2 tabs twice daily after food Extremely helpful in stubborn cases of eczema, itchy skin, dermatitis.

2. Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tab twice daily Helps to get rid of Ama, improves liver metabolism, very necessary in chronic skin diseases.

3 Mahatiktaka Ghrita – 1 teaspoon on empty stomach Perfect for dry, scaly, long-lasting skin disorders.

4.Haridrakhandam – 1 teaspoon with warm water twice daily Helps to ease itching, allergies, cold–cough, and swelling.

✅ EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS (Steroid-Free Healing)

-Nalpamaradi Taila + Coconut oil mixture Apply on the affected area 30 minutes before bath.

-After bath Apply Kumkumadi Tailam + Aloe vera gel for calming & barrier repairing.

-During extreme flare-ups Apply Purified Shataputi Sutika Lepa Very potent for Vata–Kapha dermatitis.

✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE PLAN

❌ Foods to avoid (very important)

Curd Milk + fruits combination Stored / fermented food Oily, deep-fried items Maida, bakery items Excess tea/coffee Cold drinks, cold water Peanuts, brinjal, tomatoes (increase itching)

✔️ Foods to include

Always warm water Green moong dal Lauki, tori, parval, leafy veggies Turmeric + black pepper in food Cow ghee (1–2 tsp/day) – very good for skin dryiny Soaked raisins & almonds Only fresh home-cooked food

✅LIFESTYLE ADVICE

✔️ For itching

Wrap the area with a warm towel for 2–3 minutes Do not scratch Keep skin moisturized with oil

✔️ For sinuses/cough Gargling with hot water once a day Do not sleep in AC Keep your feet warm at night

Sleep Go to bed by 10:30 PM Do not use screens 1 hr before sleep

✅SEROID DEPENDENCE

We will lessen the steroid need step by step by strengthening:

– Skin barrier – Immunity – Gut–skin axis – Vata–Kapha balance

Do NOT stop topical steroids suddenly – the risk of flare is very high.

Long-standing eczema does get better but it requires proper Vata–Kapha balancing and detoxification.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards – Dr Snehal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Vidhate

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
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.

HELLO !

Aapke case mein 2.5 saal se eczema, ankles par red-scaly rashes, palms par itching, aur saath-saath migraine/sinus pressure yeh sab ek hi root problem se judh kar aate hain:

1) Skin inflammation + immunity imbalance (eczema) Long-term eczema mein skin ki barrier weak ho jaati hai, isliye weather change, dryness, sweat, ya heat se flare ups badh jaate hain. 2) Sinus congestion + migraine Sinus blocks hone se cheek bone, ear side heavy feel hota hai — yeh immune irritation aur inflammation ka hi extension hota hai. 3) Steroid creams se temporary relief Steroids sirf upar-upar se symptoms ko daba dete hain, lekin andar ki heat, dryness, aur immune imbalance fir se eczema ko wapas la dete hain. 4) Eczema + migraine together = Pitta–Kapha imbalance Is combination mein body ke andar heat + congestion + dryness ka cycle ban jaata hai.

Achhi baat yeh hai ki Ayurveda mein is combination ka treatment bohot systematic aur effective hota hai, andar–bahar dono se, so that flare ups kam ho sake.

⭐ Internal Medicines (start with Ama Pachana) (All medicines very safe, gentle, and taken after food unless mentioned otherwise) 1) Ama Pachana (first 5–7 days) Amapachana Vati – 2 tablets twice daily for 7 days 2) Internal Medicines for 6–8 weeks Guduchi Ghan Vati – 1 tablet twice daily Manjishta Ghan Vati – 1 tablet twice daily Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp at night with warm water Hingwashtak Churna – ¼ tsp before lunch & dinner (only if bloating exists)

These help settle skin inflammation + sinus heaviness + immune imbalance from inside.

⭐ External Care (non-steroidal, daily routine) For ankles & palms (itchy red patches) Khadiradi Taila or Nalpamaradi Taila Apply thin layer twice daily.

For sinus pressure Anu Tailam (2 drops per nostril in morning) For itching relief Aloe vera gel (fresh plant) 1–2 times daily

⭐ Investigations to rule out hidden causes Please check: ✔ Vitamin D ✔ Vitamin B12 ✔ Thyroid profile ✔ ESR/CRP (inflammation markers) ✔ IgE level (allergy tendency)

Kai logon mein Vitamin D/B12 deficiency se eczema + migraine dono worsen ho jaate hain.

⭐ Do’s & Don’ts (very important) Do ✔ Warm home-cooked food ✔ Luke-warm water for drinking ✔ Apply oil before bath if skin very dry ✔ Early dinner & proper sleep routine

Don’t ✘ Steroids repeatedly (skin thinner ho jaati hai) ✘ Curd, oranges, tomatoes during flare-ups ✘ Fish + milk combination ✘ Hot showers (eczema flare) ✘ Dust exposure

⭐ Aapka eczema bohot lambe time se hai isliye patience zaroori hoga but eczema + sinus + migraine ka combination Ayurveda mein bohot achhi tarah manage hota hai jab internal medicines + external tailam + diet sahi se follow ki jaaye.

Aap flare-ups ko clearly 4–6 weeks mein kam hota dekhenge. Main aapke saath hoon — aap isko control kar sakte hain, slowly and safely.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

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.

Considering Ayurveda’s holistic perspectives, eczema and migraines essentially stem from underlying doshic imbalances. Based on your symptoms - itchy eczema and sinus-related migraines - these could link primarily to aggravated Pitta and possible Vata disturbances.

For eczema, reducing Pitta is crucial. Begin by incorporating cooling foods like cucumber and cilantro into your diet. Favor mild spices: turmeric and coriander might help balance. Avoid spicy, salty, sour items that can aggravate your condition. Regularly applying coconut oil or aloe vera gel on affected areas can soothe inflammation and provide moisture.

You may find relief through herbal supports like neem - typically useful for skin issues. Consider neem tablets or using a neem-based skincare product. Similarly, turmeric, known for anti-inflammatory properties, can be consumed in warm milk. Take care not to overuse the topical steroid creams; consider more natural alternatives for sustained relief.

For sinus headaches, it’s helpful to address Vata. Vittenasya, the traditional nasal application, if done with Anu Taila or sesame oil, might clear the sinus channels, reduce pressure. Steaming with eucalyptus and ginger in hot water can further alleviate sinus congestion.

Balance lifestyle: ensure regular meals, proper sleep schedule and practice Pranayama - particularly, Nadi Shodhana - to manage stress and support circulation, improving your sinus health. Additionally, daily Abhyanga, the application of warm oil to your body, calms both Pitta and Vata.

Since you’re on medication, coordinate with your healthcare practitioner, especially regarding any changes or additions to treatment. Persistent or worsening symptoms call for urgent professional consult. Making regular adjustments, from diet to daily routines, serves best.

HELLO,

Eczema- is called vicharchika in Ayurveda It’s a type of kushta (skin disorder) that mainly involves vata and Kapha doshas, sometimes also pitta when there’s redness, burning, or oozing

AYURVEDIC VIEW -VATA DOSHA causes dryness, scaling, roughness, and cracks -KAPHA DOSHA causes thickening, itching, and stickiness -PITTA DOSHA causes redness , burning, and oozing

When these doshas get disturbed by wrong diet, stress, lack of sleep, or poor digestion, they mix with the blood and settle in the skin That leads to the symptoms your grandson experiences - dry, itching, inflamed patches on arms, neck and back

FOR SINUS RELATED MIGRAINE

Pain on the right cheek bone + heaviness around ear suggests -kapha accumulation in sinuses -secondary vata aggravation -> headache -possible pitta involvement if throbbing/heat Often, chronic skin disease + sinus issues share gut imbalance + immune hypersensitivity

TREATMENT GOALS -remove toxins from the body -purify blood -balance the doshas -heal the skin and strengthen immunity -improve digestion and metabolism

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KHADIRARISHTA= 20 ml twice daily after meals with warm water =excellent blood purifier, reduces itching and rashes

2) MANJISTHADI KAHSAYA= 20 ml twice daily before meals with warm water =detoxifies skin and improves complexion

3) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals =acts as Rasayana,a boosts immunity, prevents infection

4) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = regulates liver and digestion, essential skin health

5) SARIVADI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =cooling and soothing balances pitta and rakta

6) SOOTSEKHAR RAS (if dryness is severe)= 1 tab twice daily with ghee after meals =reduces vata, calm itching, and improves digestion

FOR SINUS RELATED MIGRAIN

A) TO REDUCE KAPHA ACCUMULATION IN SINUSES -TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp with honey twice daily before meals

-SHITOPALADI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water twice daily after meal

B) TO REDUCE HEADACHE -PATHYADI KWATHA= 15ml twice daily after meals =classical formulation for chronic headaches

C) IF MIGRAINES ARE TRIGGERED B WEATHER OR COLD EXPOSURE -RASONADI VATI= 1 tab twice daily very effective =fpr kapha dominant sinus headahces

DURATION= 8-12 weeks

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

CLEANSING -use lukewarm water infused with Neem leaves or triphala powder = cleanses, prevents infection, and reduces itching

TOPICAL APPLICATIONS -Coconut oil + few drops of neem oil= apply gently twice daily- soothes dryness, antibacterial

-JATYADI TAILA= apply on sores on cracks- speeds wound healing, reduces infection

-KAILAS JEEVAN OR ALOE VERA GEL=for mild itching or redness- cooling and mositurizing

-KUMKUMADI TAILA (night)= if skin becomes too dark or patchy= improves texture and tone

Avoid steroid creams or perfumed lotions, as they can worsen dryness over time

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -warm, freshly cooked food with a little ghee -green leafy vegetables boiled/spiced lightly -fruits=pomegranate, apple, papaya, amla -whole grains= rice, wheat, millets -herbal teas with tulsi, guduchi , or licorice -adequate water intake warm water preferred

AVOID -curd, cheese, panner, and other dairy especially at night -fried, oily, and spicy foods -sour foods- vinegar, pickles, citrus in excess -junk foods, bakery items, soft drinks -late night sleep ,irregular eating -excessive stress or overthinknig increases vata

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana= improves blood flow to skin -ardha matysnedrasana= enhances digestion -tadasana and vrikshasana= stabilises vata -pawanmuktasana= relieves bloating, aids detox

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances all doshas -Bhramari= calms the mind and reduces itching related to stress -Sheetali/sheetkari= cooling, helps pitta related burning or redness

HOME REMEDIES -Neem and turmeric paste- apply on itchy areas 1-2 times/week -anti septic, anti inflamatory -Coconut water with camphor tiny pinch- for night application- relieves itching and dryness -Aloe vera pulp + sandalwood powder - apply as a mask- cools and soothes skin -Drink turmeric. milk 1/4 tsp turmeric in warm milk nightly- supports internal cleansing -Bath with oatmeal or green gram powder- natural cleanser for sensitive skin

Eczema is a chronic but reversible condition. Ayurveda treats is holistically- by cleansing toxins, nourishing skin and restoring internal harmony The key lies in -consistency with herbal medicines -proper diet and regular lifestyle -avoiding known triggers -keeping a cam, stress free mind

Once the doshas are balanced and digestion is strong, skin regains its natural softness and glow- with fewer flare ups

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.

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

Dr. 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. Suraj Amber
I am practicing Ayurveda for about 8 years now, feels strange saying that because honestly the learning never stops. My work is all about finding balance in the body, not in some abstract way, but literally working with each person’s unique prakriti and the vikriti they’re dealing with at that moment. I follow the classical principles — herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, diet corrections, lifestyle tweaks — but nothing is “one size fits all”. Each treatment plan is shaped by the person infront of me, their health history, and the small details you only catch when you really listen. Over time I’ve worked with people dealing with digestion troubles, joint pains, hormonal shifts, stress-related health dips, and even stubborn chronic stuff that didn’t respond much to other methods. My approach is to go for the root cause first, because treating just the symptoms feels like putting tape over a crack... it hides it for a while but doesn’t fix it. That’s also why I focus on prevention — if you stop the imbalance before it grows, you save a lot of pain later. I keep my learning alive by reading classical Ayurvedic texts and joining continuing education whenever I can fit it in (sometimes late nights with too much chai). And I try to pass that clarity on to patients, explaining why a certain herb or therapy is chosen, what changes they might notice, and how they can keep supporting themselves after treatment ends. For me, this is more than just work. It’s a way of living… making choices every day that keep the mind, body, and emotions in some kind of harmony. My goal is still the same as day one — offer care that’s authentic, safe, and actually works for the long run, while making sure the person feels heard and understood through the whole process.

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. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.

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