Doctor information
Experience:
12 years
Education:
GOVT. AYURVEDIC COLLEGE
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mostly working around the medical and clinical side of Ayurveda, and sometimes I feel I dive too deep into details, but that’s how I understand things. I studied Keraliya Panchakarma Chikitsa quite in depth, and I use that background whenever I plan a therapy—some steps I rethink again and again just to be sure I’m not missing a small nuance. I prepare a few Ayurvedic medicines on my own too, simple ones mostly, and it helps me stay connected to the dravya part of practice.

I am also using yoga and meditation as supportive tools when a pt needs something more than herbs or panchakarma. In gynecology and pediatric cases, I try to be extra patient because even a tiny mistake or a rushed explanation can confuse the family. I work a lot with Vata rogas like arthritis, paralysis, and differnt skin disorders, and sometimes they respond slow but steady, which teaches me patience in my own way.

I am leaning into Ayurvedic cosmetology as well, doing aesthetic and skin-centered therapies that feel both healing and soothing for the pt. My theoretical base and pharmaceutical knowledge give me some confidence, though once in a while I still double-check a reference just to quiet down the small doubt in my head. All this together forms the core of my speciality, even if I am still refining things day by day.
Achievements:
I am kind of shaping my journey around teaching and public education too, even when I didn’t plan it exactly that way at first. I teach Language of Medicine and sometimes I catch myself over-explaining a term just to make sure a student really gets it. I also work as faculty for medical coding, mixing clinical terms with coding principles, and a few times I re-check files becaus the details get tricky.

I plan small parts of curriculum, mentor students, do assessments… all those things that keep me connected to the academic side. And I try to blend clinical knowledge into every class, even if the flow is not always perfect but still helpful.

I am also doing public awareness work, talking about pros and cons of Ayurvedic therapy in differt diseases, interacting with people in community events, explaining the system in simple words. These things feel like quiet achievements for me, even if they dont look too big on paper.

I am still learning how to describe myself without sounding too stiff, but I do feel that my personal and inter-personal skills shape a big part of how I work. I try to stay approachable and not make pts feel rushed, even on days when time is slipping fast. I listen first, maybe longer than needed sometimes, just to catch the small hints in their words or their silence. I end up absorbing a bit of their pain or worry too, and then I remind myself to stay focused so I can actually help them, not just feel it. I am seeing people as whole beings, not just their symptoms or test values, and that keeps my treatment more grounded. I explain things in simple ways, though I get tangled in my phrasing here and there, but I make sure they and their family know what we’re doing and why. I try to stay honest even when the truth is slow progess or a rough patch in the condition. I am pretty dedicated to ethical practice, sometimes to the point where I double-check a simple step, and I don’t mind spending extra time if it means the plan is right. I push myself to keep learning, reading, attending discussions, all without getting scared of criticism, though a harsh comment stings me for a bit. I enjoy public interaction too—talking to groups, answering doubts, explaining Ayurveda without overcomplicating it. I am still shaping these skills every day, but they guide me in giving care that feels human, steady and trustworthy, even on the messy days when I am juggling too many things at once.
