Experience: | 2 years |
Education: | Government Ayurveda Medical College and Hospital Bangalore |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working with core ayurvedic diagnosis, and sometimes I feel like my mind just goes straight into dosha-patterns when a patient walks in. My main focus is on conditions like PCOD, PCOS and infertility, where I try to understand the deeper imbalance in hormones, agni, routine… all those small things that people dont notice but change the whole system. I get a bit absorbed in figuring out what exactly triggered their issues, even if it takes me few extra minutes while talking.
I also deal with migraine, chronic headache and allergic rhinitis, and I try to link them with diet or lifestyle mistakes that slowly build up. Some cases surprise me because symptoms look similar but the root cause shifts, and I remind myself not to jump too fast into the same pattern of thinking :)
My work in Panchakarma is hands-on and kinda grounding for me. Doing therapies myself helped me understand how body reacts in real time, not just what textbooks say. Sometimes I correct small things during therapy, like pressure or temperature, because I can feel it’s not matching the patient’s prakruti, even if others dont notice.
I try to bring all this together—diagnosis, therapy, lifestyle modifcation—like a mix that actually fits the person, not some generic plan. There are days when the process feels messy in my head but the treatment still flows well for the patient, and that balance keeps me learning more in Ayurvedic chikitsa. |
Achievements: | I am still kind of proud (and a bit surprisd) when I think about getting a National Award at the AYURGRAMA national-level competition, because that moment really pushed me to trust my own understanding of ayurveda more. Sometimes I feel like I didn’t even realise how big it was untill later when people started mentioning it again.
I also got the AYURVISHARADA award for academic excellence, something that came from lot of late nights and confusion and re-reading the same topics again n again. These things remind me that hard work in this field does show up somewhere, even if I dont chase awards normally. |
I am working across different setups in Ayurveda, and sometimes when I look back I feel like each place shaped one small part of how I treat today. I started at the Government Ayurveda Medical College, where I got hands-on exposure to the classical side of chikitsa, the kind we usually only read in texts but then suddenly you’re applying it on real patiants and noticing how small changes matter. I didn’t fully understand everything at first, honestly, but slowly my confidence grew in reading symptoms the Ayurvedic way. Then my work at "KCG Hospital, Malleswaram Bangalore" pushed me into a more structured clinical flow. There, the OPDs were fast, the cases were mixed, and I had to sharpen the way I decide things quickly, sometimes wishing I had few more minutes with each patient but still trying to give the best guidnce I could. That pace kind of trained my mind to hold multiple thoughts at once without losing the thread. Working at the "Epidemic Hospital" felt different and a bit intense… seeing conditions that spread fast, managing people who were scared or confused, it changed my approach toward community-level health. Ayurveda’s preventive concepts suddenly made more sense, not only as theory but like a living tool we can actually apply in crisis. Right now, my experience with the **NIMHANS Integrative Medicine Department** stays closest to me. It opened a new angle on how Ayurveda can work along with other systems, especially in cases that need gentler, long-term healing. I sometimes catch myself thinking deeper about mind-body links after a OPD day there, like trying to understand where exactly the imbalance started and how we can support the person without rushing or forcing things. These journeys togather gave me a wider, more grounded understanding of clinical ayurveda, and even though I still keep learning each day (some days more clumsily than I admit), I try to meet every patient with the same intention—to give authentic care, to listen properly, and to use the principles that actually help in their condition.
