Education: | KVG Ayurveda Medical College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working with musculoskeletal & joint issues — stuff like arthritis, frozen shoulder, sports injuries, back pain that doesn’t go away for months, even rehab after trauma. I lean heavily on classical Ayurveda for this, especially Basti, Abhyanga, and internal formulations... but I also pull in yoga therapy & daily routine correction when needed (which is like, most times honestly).
I also deal with a lot of respiratory cases — asthma, sneezing fits, chronic bronchitis, and weird allergic flares that show up seasonally. And digestive issues too — acidity, bloating, sluggish gut, constipation etc. What I’ve seen is these things don’t come alone... they’re all tied together if you look closely enough.
My approach is never just “symptom fix.” I try to figure out where the imbalance *began*, not just where it’s hurting now. And yeah it takes time. But I build each treatment slow and steady, using Panchakarma, herbs, yoga, food, sleep patterns, everything in one plan.!! I want healing that lasts, not just relief for a week. |
Achievements: | I am proud to say I worked as the medical official for the South Zone Boxing Championship — where I handled athlete injuries, onsite emergencies, and full medical checkups for players pre and post fights. That setting was intense but rewarding, gave me a real feel of fast decision making in sports medicine. I also organised Ayurved wellness camps at police HQs — those were focused more on lifestyle advice, stress relief and immunity care.!! Both roles shaped how I handle both acute and community-level care. |
I am currently working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at a Rejuvenation Center inside a major sports campus — which honestly keeps things exciting and unpredictable. Most of the cases I handle are related to sports injuries, recovery fatigue, ligament tears, post-op rehab, that kind of thing. And instead of just painkillers or passive rest, we go deep into Ayurvedic therapy — Abhyanga, Patra Pinda, Basti, and in some cases, leech therapy or even Raktamokshana, when blood stagnation needs clearing out. Before this role, I worked as an Assistant Medical Officer where I was managing full-time inpatient care — hands-on with chronic patients, learning to read subtle shifts in how the body responds to Panchakarma. That’s where I really built my confidence in customizing classical detox therapies instead of just following textbook dos and don’ts. It’s also where I started feeling drawn toward the mental aspect of healing, not just the physical. Alongside my clinical practice, I’m a certified yoga instructor — not just for stretching or postures, but as part of the therapy itself. I’ve used yoga and meditation to help people dealing with anxiety attacks, sleep issues, emotional burnouts, even performance anxiety in athletes. One-on-one breathwork sessions and visualizations sometimes go further than herbs, honestly, esp. in cases like social withdrawal or recurring panic. My approach always leans toward the whole person — not just the joint pain, not just the muscle tear. Whether someone’s coming in with a dislocated shoulder or stuck in a loop of mental fog, I try to make space for both. That’s where Ayurveda feels real to me — when it holds the mind and the body in the same breath. Healing has to feel personal, otherwise it doesn’t stick. That’s what I work toward in every session, every plan I build.
