Education: | Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am working mainly in the Ayurvedic treatment of allergies—food, nasal, skin, and fungal types mostly. These things might look small at first, like a rash or sneezing after lunch, but they pile up fast. Patients usually show up after trying everything, and still dealing with swelling, itching, gut issues or even unexplained tiredness day after day.
My focus is on understanding how the body’s immune response got so off track in the first place. Like, why is someone reacting to basic foods? Or why a skin patch just won’t heal even after all kinds of ointments? That’s where Ayurveda actually makes sens—when you look at agni, dosha vitiation, dhatu involvement, and not just surface-level symptoms.
Allergies are not just “outside” problems. There’s always an inner misfire, usually tied to digestion, lifestyle, and long-term imbalances. I try not to jump into giving herbs immediately. First step is usually cleaning up the basics. Sometimes even simple things, like changing food order or removing one wrong habit, can shift the whole picture. |
Achievements: | I am working in Ayurvedic allergy care for over 15 years now—helped more than 50,000 patients across different parts of the world (still sounds surreal when I say it out loud). One of my research pieces was on managing nasal allergies through Ayurveda, which kind of opened more doors for global conversations too.
Shared my learnings through interviews, few podcast talks here n there, and international events where people actually *wanted* to hear about ancient allergy protocols. crazy but true!! |
I am an Ayurvedic Allergy Specialist by core, with degrees in B.A.M.S. & M.H.A., and right now I'm working as the CEO of IAFA Ayurveda®. been in this space for over 15 years now—sounds like a long time but honestly still feels like I’m learning something new every month. My main focus is helping people deal with food allergies, nasal congestion, fungal infections (especially recurrent ones), and skin allergies that don’t really respond to creams or meds or whatever else they’ve already tried. I see a lot of chronic, stubborn cases. The ones that flare up randomly, or shift seasonally, or even react to the weirdest foods—milk, wheat, lentils, fruits... sometimes even plain rice! And half of these patients don’t even realise it’s an allergic response until it gets really out of hand. At IAFA, we run both in-clinic and online consults. That’s been a big help for families outside India or folks in cities where there’s no access to proper ayurvedic care. Like, real allergy care, not just generic immunity tonics. I try to make it clear to patients that the immune system is not supposed to overreact—that’s what we’re calming down. And we do it through stepwise, root-cause based management... not shortcuts. I don’t believe in just suppressing symptoms with herbs either. Ayurveda has its own way of identifying where the imbalance starts—whether it’s in diet, agni (digestive fire), or even unresolved gut issues. Fungal infections? I’ve seen those vanish only when the internal terrain is corrected—not just by applying stuff on top. Honestly, the work can be intense. Every allergy case is different. But that’s also what makes this field kinda addictive... you're not just treating a condition, you're tracking how a person's entire system is reacting to life. That's what Ayurveda taught me. And that’s exactly what I use, everyday.
