Doctor information
Experience:
1 year
Education:
Sri Jayendra Saraswati Ayurveda College
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mainly working with skin disorders and musculo–skeleton diseases, and sometimes I feel like these cases sort of choose me more than I choose them. I get a lot of pts who come with long standing itching, pigmentation, joint stiffness, weird flare ups and al that stuff, and I try to approach them with proper ayurvedic logic even if the case looks messy on first look.

I am also specialised in rheumatoid arthritis, since my PG dissertation was on RA and I handled more than 40 confirmed RA positive cases during that time. Honestly few of those cases taught me more than textbooks ever could… some responded fast, some slow, and a few made me recheck my whole plan before the next visit. But the process helped me understand how important dosha, ama and dhatu status shift day to day in autoimmune issues.

I use classical Ayurvedic diagnostic tools and try to map the pattern of pain, swelling, digestion, sleep… sometimes I scribble notes too quick and later wonder what I wrote, but it still guides the treatment. Whether it’s chronic joint disorders, muscle stiffness, inflammatory patterns or skin-related conditions that keep recurring, I focus on root-cause correction, calming vata-pitta imbalance and long-term restoration of strength (bala).

Some days the flow is smooth, other days I get stuck thinking maybe I should check another samprapti-angle, but that’s part of working deeply in RA and skin cases. I like combining panchakarma plans with simple routines when needed, keeping things personal to each pt even if it takes extra time to figure out the right combo.
Achievements:
I am a gold medalist in my PG, something I still feel a bit shy to mention but it really shaped my confidence in ayurveda study… sometimes I think the long nights of reading and rewriting notes paid off more than I expected. That medal kinda reminds me to stay honest, keep working harder, and not slip from the standard I set for myself, even on days when my focus goes all over the place.

I am working as a consultant cum Assistant Professor in the Dept of Kayachikitsa at Nandha Ayurveda College & Hospital in Erode, TN, and honestly sometimes I feel like I’m still figuring out new thing every day even after the routine gets bit hectic. I deal with a wide range of internal medicine cases, trying to connect classical Kayachikitsa concepts with what patients are actually going through in real time… and ya, I kinda like taking extra moments to rethink a diagnosis if something doesn’t sit right. I am involved in OPD work, rounds, and handling chronic cases that usually need deeper samprapti analysis. Somewhere inbetween teaching and consulting I try to balance both sides, though somedays one pulls more than the other. I enjoy guiding students too, even if my sentences get mixed up or I jump from one idea to another while explaining shlokas or chikitsa-sutras. They still manage to follow me.. most of the time atleast. I focus a lot on bringing practical understanding into classroom teaching, making students see how nadi, agni, roga-avastha and all those classical parameters actually show up in a real pt, not just on paper. Sometimes I end up repeating a point twice without noticing, or add a side thought inbetween, but that’s just how my mind runs when I’m in teaching mode. In the hospital I try to keep a calm approach, sitting with pts a bit longer, hearing where their discomfort actually starts from. A few days the flow feels smooth, other days I get stuck on a case thinking if I missed a minor clue in the history. My aim is to treat them using proper ayurvedic principles—shamana, shodhana, panchakarma planning—whatever suits their condition and prakriti. I like engaging with students in academic discussions, planning clinical postings, and encouraging them to get hands-on exp even if they hesitate first. Teaching keeps me grounded and consulting reminds me why I choose Kayachikitsa in first place. Somewhere both roles shape me, even with small imperfect moments here n there. If I can help someone feel better, or help a student understand a tricky concept they were sturggling with, that honestly makes my day feel fuller.
