Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am focused on musculo-skeletal diseases, especially joint disorders, and honestly these cases make me slow down and look at every small detail because one tiny stiffness or crack sound can change the whole understanding of the issue. I study how vata imbalance, posture habits, old injuries, even digestion patterns play into joint pain, and sometimes I catch myself pausing mid-consult thinking *wait, that symptom connects differently*, then I adjust the plan right there.
Joint problems need a steady, careful approach—observing swelling, range of motion, pain timing.. all those things patients forget to mention till later. I work with Ayurvedic principles to reduce inflammation, stabilise the joints, and improve mobility, even if my notes get a bit messy or a word comes out mispellt while I’m typing fast!!
My aim is to help people move with less pain and more confidence by shaping treatments that fit their actual routine. Some days I rethink a suggestion twice, wondering if it’s too much or too little, but that back-and-forth makes the care more honest. I try to keep the process simple, human, and grounded in real musculo-skeletal understanding. |
Achievements: | I am grateful for a journey that brought me many honours, starting with First Prize in the Essay Competition by the Regional Ayurveda Research Institute, Thiruvananthapuram, and Second Rank in the national essay event on Kidney diseases & Ayurveda. I also recieved multiple endowment awards like Nellikhal Narayana Menon Memorial, Vaidyabhushanam K Raghavan Thirumulpad, and the Ashtavaidyan E.T. Neelakandan Mooss gold medal… sometimes I still double-check the spellings on these names!! All these recognitions keep reminding me to stay grounded and keep learning. |
I am an Ayurvedic physician graduated from Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda College, Kerala, and sometimes I still feel that the years I spent learning there left a kind of rhythm in my mind—the way Kerala clinical traditions flow into every thought I have during a consult. I carry that depth of ayurvedic medicine into my practice, mixing it with a slightly modern lens whenever needed, though I admit my thoughts jump around a bit and I end up rewriting a sentence or two while explaining something. My main work sits at the intersection of musculoskeletal health and cosmetic aspects in Ayurveda. It sounds like two different worlds, but clinically they overlap a lot. A joint imbalance shows on the posture, a skin dullness links back to agni, and sometimes a patient tells me one tiny complaint that makes me rethink the whole plan. I pay attention to those small clues even when my notes look a bit scrambled or a comma goes missng somewhere. Panchakarma plays a big role in my approach—deep-acting therapies that work slowly but shift things from the inside. I like understanding why a particular procedure suits one person and not the next, and I sometimes pause midway through planning thinking *wait, that detail matters more than I thought*, then adjust the regimen with more care. Personalized wellness routines also matter a lot to me… diet tweaks, daily habits, simple corrections that people often underestimate. When it comes to cosmetic wellness—radiance, glow, natural rejuvenation—I focus on restoring balance rather than masking the issue. Ayurveda treats beauty as an outcome of internal harmony, and that idea guides most of my choices, even if my words come out a little tangled when trying to explain it fast. My intention is always to help you reach a place where your body feels stronger, lighter, more aligned, and yes, where your natural beauty shows without forcing it. I know healing takes patience, sometimes more than we expect, but I walk through it with you… step by step, with clarity, honesty, and a few typos here and there that sneak in when I’m typing too quick.
