3 years
Education:
Uttarkhand Ayurved University
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mainly working in Ayurvedic gynecology n obstetrics, that’s kinda where most of my cases come from these days. I see a lot of women dealing with PCOD, white discharge issues (leucorrhoea), fertility struggles, and of course antenatal care too—like full support through pregnancy, not just herbs but food n emotional balance too. It’s not just about managing symptoms... I try to understand why the cycle got disturbed in the first place or why conception’s not happening even when all tests look “normal.” Every plan I give is custom—some need deep Rasayana support, others do better with diet shifts and stress routine tracking. I won’t lie, it takes time. Hormonal problems aren’t quick-fix kind. But I’ve seen real, steady progress when the root imbalance is actually addressed. I also use classical formulations, panchakarma if required (not for all), and subtle daily changes like timing of meals or types of grains—these little thngs make a big impact over time. For me, each patient’s story is unique, and I try to keep it that way in how I treat.
Achievements:
I am mostly handling cases where women are stuck with things like PCOD, leucorrhoea, or infertility that just won’t budge even after trying lot of things. I’ve seen good results with Ayurveda—helped many regain regular cycles, reduce discharge issues, or even conceive naturally after long time. ANC care too—I manage that with herbs + diet tweaks for smoother pregnancy. Not all cases are easy, but honestly seeing steady change over time—that’s what keeps me at it. Still learning, still adapting.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who’s mostly working in the space of women’s health—gynecology, obstetrics, menstrual care... all of it. I kinda found myself drawn to this field early in my practice, probably because the problems women come with are rarely just physical. There’s always a rhythm behind the symptoms, and Ayurveda taught me to listen to that. Whether it’s PCOD, painful periods, delayed cycles, infertility struggles, or even menopause—each case has its own story. And no two women show the exact same set of signs, even if the diagnosis looks similar on paper. I use classical Ayurvedic methods—Rasayana herbs, Panchakarma detox (when it really fits), and a lot of lifestyle restructuring... not the textbook kind, more real-life stuff like adjusting food timing, spotting stress patterns, poor sleep or daily routines that throw things off balance. Hormonal issues are a big chunk of my work, and trust me, the relief doesn’t come from just “fixing the hormones.” It’s usually about correcting deeper imbalances—Agni, Srotas, mental fluctuations, whatever the root is. That’s where I usually start. I also work closely with women who are trying to conceive or coping with unexplained infertility. And honestly, many of them have tried everything by the time they reach Ayurveda. My job there is to simplify—to support their body instead of pushing it. Even in menopause cases, where many feel dismissed or just handed supplements, I try to offer a more grounded, individualized plan. I believe healing in this field requires slow tracking... like watching the cycle shift over months, not just chasing lab values. What keeps me going is seeing that slow change—a woman sleeping better, periods becoming painless, skin clearing, ovulation signs returning. That kind of shift means we’re heading in the right direction. My whole approach is based on listening first, then treating—not just jumping into therapy. Because trust, in this kind of care, makes all the difference.
