Ayurveda and Skin Care Approach
Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that may use dietary changes, lifestyle practices, herbal preparations, and other traditional approaches. It should not be considered interchangeable with specialist dermatology, particularly when a skin condition requires laboratory testing, biopsy, prescription medication, or urgent medical evaluation.
Dr. Rathi’s practice includes Ayurvedic management of skin and hair concerns. An appointment may involve discussing symptoms, diet, lifestyle, previous treatments, and the duration of the problem before an individualized traditional care plan is considered.
Patients using herbal or Ayurvedic products should tell their regular doctor about them, particularly when taking prescription medicines, during pregnancy, or when managing chronic medical conditions. Some traditional preparations can interact with medicines or contain ingredients that require safety consideration.
