Area of specialization:
I am mainly focused on pain management, specially when it comes to chronic joint issues and spine related problems. A lot of my practice revolve around treating cases like lumbar spondylosis, cervical spondylosis, arthritis and other degenerative musculoskeletal conditions that slowly eat away at mobility and day to day comfort. I work with patients who struggle not just with pain but also with stiffness, weakness and loss of confidence in movement. In my approach I use classical Ayurvedic tools—Agnikarma for targeted pain relief, Panchakarma detox to reset systemic imbalances, and herbal formulations that support healing of tissues and reduce inflammation. I dont just look at masking the pain, I try to see why it started, what habits or lifestyle patterns are keeping it alive, and how to stop further degeneration. That usually mean combining therapies with diet corrections, posture advice, and changes in daily routine. Every patient come with a different constitution and stage of disease, so the plan has to be custom. Sometimes a simple Agnikarma session gives instant relief, other times long term Panchakarma is needed to restore balance. I also rely on understanding pain physiology in detail, which help me bridge Ayurveda’s root cause approach with modern view of nerves, joints and muscles. For me the aim is not only relief but also restoration—helping people get back mobility, function and quality of life. Pain is draining not just physically but emotionally too, so I try to keep treatment compassionate, safe and sustainable, making sure patients feel guided and supported at each step. My specialization is in using authentic Ayurvedic therapies for pain and spine care, but always with a bigger goal: giving patients freedom from pain that lasts.
Achievements:
I am most proud when I see real change in patients well being, that’s what I count as achievement more than awards. For me every case where someone walk in with pain, anxiety, or long term disorder and then slowly regain health through Ayurveda is like proof of why this path matter. Each recovery story—whether it is relief from joint pain, balanced thyroid, or clear skin—remind me that authentic care and patient trust are the real success in my clinical journey.

I am a dedicated Viddhakarma and Agnikarma specialist, and my work really revolves around using these two powerful Ayurvedic procedures in a practical, result oriented way. Over the years I’ve seen how much they can help—whether it’s stubborn joint pain that doesn’t ease with routine medicines, or a chronic skin lesion that just keeps troubling a patient. I focus a lot on musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, spine issues, arthritis, skin disease, even long standing chronic pains that impact daily life. For me it always start with proper patient assessment, looking at prakriti, vikriti, and the whole health context, because these therapies are not one size fit all. Viddhakarma and Agnikarma, when used right, act very fast but still work on deeper level.. giving relief that is not just temporary. Many patients report improvements in mobility, reduction in pain, and even better quality of sleep and day-to-day energy after sessions. That sort of recovery makes me confident about the strength of these classical methods. I also try to balance precision with safety—because both procedures need careful handling. Agnikarma especially, if done wrongly, can cause unnecessary burns, but with correct application it gives almost immediate reduction in pain. Same with Viddhakarma, which can look simple but requires anatomical understanding and steady practice. My goal is to ensure patients feel safe, supported, and also educated about what is happening in their treatment. In clinical practice I avoid just covering symptoms. For example, someone with chronic back pain might feel better after Agnikarma, but if lifestyle and posture aren’t corrected the problem will come back. So I integrate diet guidance, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes herbal medicines or Panchakarma support. That way the results last longer and patients build confidence in natural healing. I believe these two procedures represent the essence of Ayurveda—powerful, simple, but deeply effective when chosen wisely. Every case teaches me something new, and every recovery reinforces my trust in authentic Ayurvedic healing. My aim is always to use Viddhakarma and Agnikarma not just as technical skills, but as transformative tools that help patients regain control over their health with minimal side effects and maximum impact.
