Area of specialization: | I am mostly focused on treating respiratory issues the Ayurvedic way—things like asthma, bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, and those never-ending colds or chest congestions ppl just keep getting again n again. I don’t go for surface-level relief. I look at why the symptoms repeat—like weak immunity, kapha imbalance, or maybe poor digestion messing with prana flow. Depends case to case, right? I use herbs (not always the same combo), sometimes Panchakarma, and lots of lifestyle reworking—small things like how u breath during the day, or what u eat at night, it all matters. I aim to open up blocked channels, make lung function better, and reduce long-term dependency on suppressive meds. I won’t lie, it’s not overnight magic. But when ppl stick with the plan, the change is real n deeper—breathing gets easier, coughs reduce, fatigue drops. That’s what I try for. Holistic, but also very specific to each person. |
Achievements: | I am kinda proud to say I got 2nd rank in Charak Samhita Chikitsa—yeah that felt like a big deal to me back then, still does tbh. That section of study really stretched my brain... all that detail, all that logic hidden in slokas, it pushed me to read deeper not just memorize. Helped me start seeing how classical chikitsa ideas actually *fit* into real clinical stuff today. That exam didn’t just test memory, it made me rethink how I approach treatment now. |
I am currently working as an Ayurvedic physician at Lekshmi Ayurveda Health Care Centre, Kovalam. I manage my own cases now—OP, follow-ups, therapies—all of it. It’s still surreal sometimes, but yeah I handle everything from digestive complaints n chronic stress to joint stiffness or lifestyle-linked stuff that won’t budge easy. My treatment plans mostly revolve around identifying *why* things are going wrong rather than just naming what’s wrong. Like, not just “gastritis” but okay—what’s the *real* trigger here? Weak agni? Food choices? Stress? That kind of layering helps, and I rely on classical Ayurvedic therapies, sometimes Panchakarma if needed, plus herbs, and daily routine tweaks ppl can *actually* stick to. Before this I got a chance to assist senior docs at NARIP Cheruthuruthi and also Govt Ayurveda Dispensary Poovachal—just for a month each but honestly those two months shaped me a lot. Like being thrown into the deep end but in a good way. Real patients, complex symptoms, watching the way experienced vaidyas read nadi, observed tiny details, explained stuff without overcomplicating. That’s where I started learning how Ayurvedic diagnosis isn't about ticking boxes, it’s like a full-body language you learn to hear over time. I’ve slowly built confidence dealing with musculoskeletal pains, gut health problems, detox cases, lifestyle disorders (you’d be surprised how many ppl struggle with the *same* bad habits), and stress conditions showing up physically. I don’t try to force results fast. I prefer sustainable healing—even if that takes some back n forth, as long as the root is addressed. I do a lot of lifestyle counselling—because yeah, treatment won’t work if your food-sleep-stress is out of whack right? Still learning every single day. Still making mistakes and correcting them. But every case adds something new to how I think as a doctor. And I really do believe Ayurveda has that space—for slow, deep, lasting change if we use it wisely.
