Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with cases related to hormonal imbalance, joint pain, digestive issues, and skin flares—though honestly, things usually overlap. Like, someone comes in for PCOS and turns out they’ve had gut trouble for years, or chronic fatigue that nobody really looked at properly. My main focus is on endocrine disorders (thyroid, PCOS, irregular cycles), musculoskeletal pain (back, knee, shoulder... the usual culprits), joint problems like arthritis, GI stuff like bloating, constipation, hyperacidity, and also skin—especially acne, pigmentation and long-term itching. Reproductive health kinda ties into all of that. You fix digestion, stress, sleep—suddenly cycles improve too. It's all connected, ayurveda doesn’t separate mind from body, that’s something I try to explain patients when they look confused at first lol. I don’t rush to treat just symptoms. I usually take time to figure out what's *really* off—sometimes it’s diet, other times it’s timing of meals or even just poor sleep messing up hormones. every case need its own pace.
Achievements:
I am done my dissertation on Amavata—basically rheumatoid arthritis—where I looked deep into how chronic inflammation plays out in joint spaces & how ayurvedic line of treatment actually slows it down if done right (not just pain relief, like real long-term stuff). Also wrote an article on managing myasthenia gravis through ayurveda. That one took a while... the neuro-muscular part isn’t easy to explain in classical terms but still made it fit ayurvedic framework somehow. Felt worth it!!

I am a post graduate from the dept. of Kayachikitsa at Shrikalabyraweahwara Ayurveda Medical College in Bangalore... long name, I still mess it up sometimes 😅 Anyway, I've been working in the field for about 3 years now, mostly with chronic and lifestyle-related conditions. My clinical experience has focused a lot on musculoskeletal issues (back pain, neck stiffness, frozen shoulder kind of stuff), joint disorders like arthritis, and also a fair bit with digestive and gastrointestinal conditions—bloating, acid reflux, irregular appetite etc. Skin conditions too, like eczema, acne and random rashes people usually ignore until it gets worse. I've seen quite a few endocrine-related cases over the years too, especially thyroid imbalances and PCOS in young women. Honestly, PCOS is becoming way too common lately and it’s rarely just one thing, so I end up digging into the root causes—whether it's lifestyle, hormones, diet... usually all of it. I don’t just jump into medication. My approach usually involves understanding the patient’s daily routine first—when they eat, how much stress they carry, sleep patterns... all that. Ayurveda isn’t about symptom-fixing only, it's more like aligning the system back with how it’s meant to function. Sometimes even simple changes—timing of food or a mild herbal formulation—makes a huge differance. Patients often come to me after trying everything else first, not gonna lie, that can be frustrating but also kind of satisfying when they finally feel relief. Not every case goes perfect, sure, but when it works it really works. If you're dealing with chronic health stuff and nothing’s helping or you’re just tired of patchwork fixes, maybe it's time to look at the deeper layers. That's what I try to do everyday. Not rushing, not guessing—just trying to understand what’s *really* going on in the body.
