Testimonials for our consultant Dr. Gayathri Magesh (M.D. in Ayurveda)

ONE

In 2000 I contracted genital herpes.  When I was first diagnosed, my doctor prescribed acyclovir as a daily anti-viral therapy.  I took 500mg twice per day to prevent future outbreaks.  Even when I was taking acyclovir, I experienced minor outbreaks once a month for the first year I had the disease and at least every three months thereafter. 

            The pain and discomfort of such frequent outbreaks was difficult, but it was something I came to live with.  But in early 2005, I had a severe outbreak that was more painful than even my first outbreak.  I increased my dosage of acyclovir to 2000 mg per day, but I lost hope when my symptoms did not improve after a month.  At the advice of a friend, I looked for an ayurvedic doctor in my area, and found that Dr. Gayathri Magesh is the only ayurvedic doctor in Minnesota who is certified by the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America.  I have to admit I did not know much about ayurveda (and I’m certainly still learning!) but when she said that she had treated similar conditions before and was successful in completely clearing symptoms, I was willing to try.  Dr. Magesh prescribed several different herbal medicines for me, and recommended some minor dietary changes.  She also gave me some remedies that decreased the pain and discomfort of the disease.  After about a month, my symptoms greatly diminished.  By six months, my symptoms were gone and shortly thereafter, I ceased taking the acyclovir altogether.

            It has now been almost a year since I first came to see Dr. Magesh.  I have not had a single outbreak since the one that brought me to her.  The ayurvedic medicines were able to clear up my symptoms when the western medications failed.  I know that I will always have the virus in my body, but I am confident that with a few more months of immunity-building herbs, I will never see another outbreak again.  I feel like my life has completely changed.  I went from the fear and anxiety of not know when my life could be disrupted by this disease, to the confidence that I can live and work and play like anyone else.  I would not hesitate to consult Dr. Magesh in the future for any ailment and I would gladly recommend her to any of my friends.

It all started four years ago. I was seven years old. I was playing outside and I came back home from school. My mom noticed white patches on my face. “What is that?” my mom exclaimed. “Oh mom, puh-leeease! It’s just probably dry skin.” But, I was wrong. It wasn’t just dry skin. It was something far worse.

       Then three years later, after my mom had noticed white patches on my face, nothing drastic happened on my face!  But patches got worse over the years, especially in the summer and in the winter!  It had gotten so bad, that my face started to itch all over, and my face would become beet red. Now, that’s really red! My parents were really worried about my face. I always thought my parents were overreacting! They would keep on saying, “SWEETIE! Look at your face. It’s pulp red!” I would be like, “Just take a chill pill! It’s okay!” But my parents never thought it was okay. So I had to go to the dermatologist.  The dermatologist said that I had a skin problem called eczema. The doctor gave me some ointment to put on. The ointment didn’t really help. Actually, it made my skin worse! My face would get all crusty looking. The patches would be a dark red. It was terribly itchy! Ugh! I was in a horrible stage! I hated it! Everyone at school would look at me awkwardly. After that, I really started to care about my skin. But it seemed like nothing would help me! And my face was getting worse each day! I thought, if I don’t get help soon, I’m probably going to end up wearing a paper brown over my head for the rest of my life!  And I sure didn’t want that to happen. Not if I want to be an actress when I grow up!

       Luckily, when my mom came back home from this place she meditates, she said she had good news. She had told me that she had met a doctor that could cure me. We were going to meet her tomorrow. I wondered, could this lady really help me? I wonder?

     So the next day, we went to this lady’s house. Her name was Dr. Gayatri. She was really nice. After she had offered us some snacks, she led my mom and I to a small, little cozy room. There were two plastic chairs and one big chair. Dr. Gayatri sat in the big chair. You can guess where my mom and I sat. So after we got comfy, Dr. Gayatri asked me questions. She asked me questions like, do you eat when it’s time to eat? Do you get lots of sleep? And all these other, well…. boring questions. Then she tested my pulse. She did that to see how healthy my blood was. Not very healthy. She said the only way to treat eczema, was to make your inside healthy. She gave me medicines for a month and she said I couldn’t eat chocolates for a month! And I’m telling you it was hard! It was near Valentines Day, and chocolate was whizzing everywhere! The worst part of the whole month was the medicines. The medicines were extremely bitter! And I had to take the medicine everyday! It was like eating a chocolate cover fly! EWWWWWWWWW!

After a month, we came back. She tested my pulse again and said that it was pretty healthy, but I still need to take medicines. So for another dreadful month, I had to take dreadful medicines. We came back again; she tested my pulse and said it was perfect!

I was cured!!!!!!!!!

       I was relieved that I didn’t have to wear a paper bag over my head! And I think back and say, it was worth taking all those bitter medicines. Look how much they’ve helped me! And I truly think that Dr. Gayatri has magic in her hands, and those are the hands that have cured me from my skin problems!
