Experience:
1 year
Education:
Rajiv Gandhi University Of Health Sciences
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mostly focused on treating pain-related stuff through Ayurveda — like osteoarthritis, RA, gout… all that joint stiffness that just keeps coming back no matter what you try. I work a lot with Shamanoushadhi-based internal meds, Panchakarma when it’s really called for (not just for the sake of it), and I’ve picked up chiropractic-style adjustmnts where needed — esp. when ppl show up with alignment or nerve-related pain. But it's not just joint probs — I deal with gut issues too… IBS, constiptn, acidity flareups that just don’t respond to regular meds. Skin cases, scalp flaking, hair thinning (especially the ones linked with stress or hormone swing), even long-standing respiratory issues — that’s all part of the picture for me. I build treatment plans around body type, age, season, even stress pattern sometimes. Liver disorders, anemia, sluggish metabolism — if it’s chronic, I take a layered approach. It’s not quick fix stuff. I just want ppl to get real relief that stays.
Achievements:
I am someone who kinda keeps studying even while working, like it just doesn’t stop... I did certified courses in Acupressure & Acupuncture early on, which really helped when nothing else was working in some pain cases. Then I got into Ayurvedic Samhita studies + Pathya too — that whole food-lifestyle angle that’s ignored most times. I also learned chiropractic basics under Dr Harsha at Sanmati PT, Hubli — not textbook stuff, real hand work. Oh and yeah, finished Tier 1 Ayurvedic Medicine & all 3 levels of Panchakarma Therapist certs — that shaped a lot of how I treat now, even the tricky ones.

I am someone who kinda learned Ayurveda not just from books but by actually sitting with ppl and figuring out what their body is trying to say — even when it’s not obvious. I started off as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Arya Hospital in Hubli, where I got thrown into all kinds of cases… chronic stuff, digestion, stress-related complaints, thyroid shifts, skin flare-ups, and yep, those odd symptoms that don’t neatly fit anywhere. I was doing full-on diagnostics, planning out classical treatments, sometimes tweaking them depending on the person’s prakriti or their day-to-day routine which was often way off-balance. That’s where I kinda started understanding how lifestyle disorders grow quiet n slow, until they don’t. I tried to not just treat symptoms but guide people on how to *stay out of that loop.* Later, I moved to Sitaram Ayurveda — that’s where things shifted deeper for me. I worked as a Panchakarma specialist there and it was hands-on in the truest sense. Every day I was working with people going through full Panchakarma cycles — not just textbook versions but real, messy, layered human experiences. I had to custom-design therapies — Vamana, Virechana, Basti, whatever suited the imbalance, depending on what season it was, how depleted the person felt, how long the condition stuck around. It taught me patience, and not to expect neat results in 3 days. You gotta give the body time to process, flush, rebuild. Now when I plan treatments, it’s never just about a herb or oil. I pull together everything — Ayurvedic diet planning, routine corrections, marma logic when needed, panchakarma only if it’s really needed — and try to find *that* spot where healing becomes sustainable. It’s not perfect but I aim for long-term correction, not just short-term comfort. That’s where Ayurveda feels most alive to me.
