Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with people who struggle with hair issues, chronic skin flares, or those nagging pain conditions that kinda keep coming back no matter what they try. My main focus is on hair fall, scalp itching or dandruff, pigmentation, acne breakouts, and also arthritis or stiff joints & muscle pain that just don’t go with pills alone. I use classical Ayurvedic treatments—like internal herbs, Nasya or lepa when needed, Panchakarma (but only if they really need it), plus very specific diet & sleep corrections. Honestly, it's never just one cause... people usually show up with 3-4 things all tangled up, and the tricky part is figuring out where to start first. I go slow, adjust based on their response, and try not to overload them with too many rules. The idea’s always to help them *feel* better, not just “fix” a complaint on paper. Sometimes even small shifts—like changing meal gap or removing wrong hair oils—make a huge diff. That’s where the real work is.
Achievements:
I am honestly not someone who counts awards or anythng like that... for me, every single patient who walks out with less pain, clearer skin or just sleeping better—that’s kinda the only achievement that really matters. Like when a chronic hairfall case finally settles after months of herbal support and tiny routine tweaks—that feels like a win. Or when a pain patient calls just to say they could walk without meds again—that hits diff. That’s what keeps me doing this every day.

I am a BAMS grad and mostly my focus is around skin, hair, nutrition & long-standing pain issues that just don’t go away easy. I didn’t really plan it like this in the beginning... but over time, the more I saw how interconnected these problems were, the more it made sense to work on all of them together using Ayurvedic tools. I don’t treat symptoms in isolation—I try to go for root causes, whether it’s gut-related, hormonal, lifestyle-induced or just chronic build-up in the system. Skin disorders like acne, pigmentation, eczema etc. are not just “topical issues” for me. Same goes for hairfall or greying—I work a lot on digestion, stress, sleep cycles, wrong diet triggers etc. alongside using classical herbs and sometimes local applications if really needed. I do use Panchakarma but not by default—it depends on the patient’s condition & strength. If their agni is weak, detoxing right away can backfire... you need to build them up first. On the pain side, I deal with chronic stuff—like arthritis, spine stiffness, neuralgic pain, sometimes post-viral fatigue type body aches. I’ve seen decent response with a mix of Rasayana, mild Snehana-Swedana & correcting sleep or screen routines in some of these cases. It’s not just about popping guggulu-based meds and waiting. You gotta tweak protocols each time—no fixed template works. I also work a lot on nutrition but not in the textbook calorie way. It’s more about what suits their prakriti, what timings work for their bowel & appetite rhythm. Sometimes just fixing dinner timing or how they combine food clears half the complaints. My overall approach’s quite personal, like no two ppl get the same advice from me. Some need deep work, some just need clarity. Ayurveda’s slow but if you stick, it works. I just try to guide that path a little better.
