Education: | Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly into Ayurvedic cosmetology n’ gynecology right now, which kinda overlap more than people think. Like, you’ll often see hormonal skin flares or hairfall that’s actually rooted in deeper cycle or digestion issues. I treat stuff like acne, pigmentation, hair thinning, irregular periods, pcos—all through classical chikitsa lines, using herbal combinations, local applications, and internal rasayanas where needed. And yep, I do Panchakarma too but only when someone really needs a system reset... I don’t push it just to tick boxes.
I’m also trained in Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle guidance—helping ppl understand *why* their routines might be messing with their hormones, skin, gut etc. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all diets... It’s all about tuning into their prakriti, digestion patterns, sleep-wake rhythm, that kinda thing. Some folks improve just by changing how and when they eat. Others need more support with rasayana therapy—to rebuild strength, immunity or just to bounce back from long stress or chronic illness.
Honestly, I just wanna help people feel better in their skin—literally and otherwise. |
Achievements: | I am actively running monthly Swarnaprashana camps—been doing that for quite a while now. It’s a small setup but consistent, and honestly it’s something I look forward to. This isn’t just giving a drop of gold ghee n calling it done... I talk to parents, explain why we’re doing what we’re doing—how this classical Ayurvedic method actually works for kids’ immunity n mental devlopment. Bit by bit, the awareness is growing. Feels good when parents come back with follow-ups or just say thanks :) |
I am working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Yogitha Clinic in Surathkal right now—where I mostly focus on giving proper one-on-one consultations and helping patients actually *understand* their condition before we even begin any treatment. I don’t just go by symptoms alone. Most times, the real issue is deeper, and that’s where classical Ayurveda helps... reading dosha imbalances, agni variations, or how lifestyle & diet slowly pushed things out of sync. Here, I deal with all sorts of conditions—lifestyle disorders like diabetes or hormonal stuff, joint and muscle pains (a lot of back/neck/knee complaints these days), chronic digestive issues, skin flareups, long-standing fatigue types... It’s not just about giving churnas or oils and sending people home. I try to figure out their constitution first, prakriti-wise, see what diet pattern might be wrong, check if there's any ama buildup or if they need Panchakarma cleanup. Sometimes just correcting routine, sleep and *how* they eat helps more than any medicine. That’s honestly true for many city-based patients who come with stress layers, screen-related sleep mess, etc. I use Panchakarma often, but only where I really feel the system needs it—not every case needs full detox. I also try to keep my approach practical. Like yeah, texts talk about ideal conditions but in real life, not everyone can do strict pathya or 2-hour morning routines. You’ve to work *with* people, not overwhelm them. I do my best to stay rooted in classical teachings, but I also keep reading new Ayurveda research when I get time (which is not often with clinic hours). My goal is pretty simple—I want treatments to work in a real-world setting, be safe, non-addictive, and actually lead to some long-term relief. Not just symptom-patching. Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m explaining things too deeply or too less, depends on the person sitting across. But I try to listen carefully—because half the diagnosis, I feel, is just in their story.
