विशेषज्ञता का क्षेत्र: | I am mostly working in lifestyle disorders—things like diabetes, obesity, thyroid flucuations, digestive slowness or even acidity that just don’t budge. Also do a lot of skin + joint stuff—eczema, acne, dandruff, knee stiffness, hair fall that just keeps coming back even after so many shampoos. I use Ayurvedic tools like Panchakarma (yep, full set), herbal combos, plus custom diet shifts that actually match that patient’s prakriti. Also really into Garbhasanskar work—pre-conception prep, pregnancy diet, mental care—all that helps shape both the mother and baby’s wellness long-term. I don’t just hand meds n go. It’s more of trying to see what’s under the surface—why the imbalance keeps happening—and building from there. Healing’s kinda layered like that, not a straight line but more like a rebalancing that takes time and a bit of trust. |
उपलब्धियों: | I am someone who kinda started out just wanting to understand Ayurveda properly, like from the roots. Did my BAMS and passed first class—felt solid, but that was just step one I guess. Then went for a fellowship in Panchakarma... which really helped me dive into the detox stuff—Vamana, Basti, the whole thing, not just theory. Also did Garbhasanskar fellowship coz I was seeing gaps in pre-pregnancy care, like no one talks about subtle mental prep! Both areas made my practice way more grounded, and focused. |
I am currently working as Chief Ayurveda Consultant at DiRi Ayurveda in Ahmedabad... and honestly, every day feels different but rooted in the same thing—listening properly, and treating deeply. I’ve spent a little over 3 years now practicing Ayurveda clinically (not just reading the texts but actually seeing how it unfolds in real people’s lives). Most of my focus goes into chronic things—lifestyle disorders, gut issues, skin conditions that don’t respond to surface-level stuff, even musculoskeletal pains that get worse with modern routines. And yeah, Stree Roga cases too—I do see quite a few. I rely heavily on understanding the person’s Prakriti and Vikriti, but also try to read the subtle signs. Like when a patient says they’re “just tired” but the tongue coat or bowel rhythm tells a diff story. That’s where I start. At DiRi, I handle full Panchakarma protocols—Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Rakta mokshan—I don’t follow one-size-for-all things, the plan’s always individual. Timing, strength, even the oil—we tweak all of it. What helps a lot is not rushing through consutations. I try to create a space where ppl actually feel heard. That’s the only way to get to the root-cause tbh. Most cases also need internal meds, daily dinacharya nudges, diet (which half of them ignore in the beginning), and a bit of hand-holding through seasonal transitions. Lately I’ve been encouraging more patients to try preventive detox, like smaller panchakarma rounds pre-season or Ritucharya realignments. It helps to avoid flareups rather than only treating them after they pop up. I also feel like the goal isn’t just to "fix" things—it’s to make ppl feel balanced in their own bodies again. And when you see that shift happen—maybe it’s the digestion improving or the skin finally calming down—it kinda reinforces that Ayurveda isn’t slow... it’s just deep.
