Area of specialization:
I am mainly working with chronic ailments, and I kind of like taking the time to understand how long the doshas are disturbed and what small triggers keep the condition going. Sometimes the issues are years old and need slow chikitsa, other times the body responds faster than I expect. I focus on giving proper Ayurvedic management, using classical approach as much as posible even when the case looks a bit tricky on first look. I handle a wide range of long-standing problems — digestion troubles that dont settle easily, skin flares that keep coming back, joint stiffness, hormonal imbalances, and other chronic patterns where people usually say nothing helped much till now. I try to see the deeper nidana rather than rushing into heavy dravyas right away, because that usually gives more stable results. I also offer home services in around 5–7 km radius, which helps patients who can’t travel or feel too weak during treatment. Sometimes seeing a patient in their own place gives me a clearer idea about lifestyle factors affecting their condition, even small things like irregular meals or sleep habits. I dont mind the extra distance if it means they get consistent chikitsa without breaks. My approach is simple but detailed — listening properly, understanding prakriti–vikriti difference, adjusting medicines slowly if needed, and keeping the treatment doable for daily routine. The goal stays the same: long-term relief through proper Ayurvedic chikitsa, without confusing the patient or complicating the plan.
Achievements:
I am really grateful that during my residentship I got awarded as Employee of the Quarter, something I didn’t expect honestly but it came from the way I stayed with my patients even on long shifts. Sometimes I used to think maybe no one notice these small things, like checking one extra time or sitting few mins more with a worried family, but they did. The award kind of felt like a nod to that sincerity and the steady dedication I try to keep, even on days when everything feels a bit too much or rushed. It remind me why this work matters and why showing up with full attention actualy makes a difference.

I am working as an Ayurvedacharya and sometimes I feel like I'm still learning new things everyday even after these 3+ years in practice. I try to keep my chikitsa as authentic as I can, going back to the classical texts again n again when some case feels a bit confusing or doshas not matching the usual pattern. I mostly meet patients with all kinds of ailments, small ones, long-standing ones, few that overlap in strange ways, and I sort of enjoy figuring out what the root cause is, even if it takes a few extra minutes or some rethinking later. I focus a lot on understanding how a person is living — their food, routine, sleep pattern (which is many time irregular), stress, all that. Sometimes the problem is not exactly in the symptom, but in the way the body is responding, and somewhere in my mind I'm checking which Ayurvedic principle fits better. My goal is mostly to make the treatment simple enough for the patient to follow but still proper chikitsa, whether it’s shaman or something needing deeper correction. There are days I end up explaining the same thing twice but I dont mind, I like when someone really wants to know why things happend in their body. I also worked with variety of conditions already — pain-related, digestion issues, skin, hormonal, even general seasonal things — and this exposure kind of shaped how I approach new cases. Sometimes I start with a basic outline and adjust it after seeing how the person responds, even small changes matter. I try not to rush into strong medicines unless needed; many times slow, steady dravya and routine changes do the better job. I believe Ayurvedic chikitsa has space for every patient if we listen carefully, and I genuinely try to support each person in a way that feels doable for them. There are days where the progress is slow or a bit uneven, and I do rethink if something needs a tweak, but seeing improvement — even mild — keeps me motivated. My aim is just to be helpful and bring relief wherever possible through the traditional principles that guide my work.
