Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am comfortable managing a wide range of health issues with Ayurveda, though I know my limits too and I don’t take up highly specialized surgical or emergency cases where immediate modern intervention is safer. My strength is in listening carefully, doing a proper Ayurvedic assessment and then building a plan that actually fits the patient’s body and lifestyle instead of forcing a generic formula. A big part of my practice is designing Panchakarma protocols, whether it’s Basti, Nasya, Virechan or therapies like Shirodhara, but always chosen after checking the prakriti and vikriti. No two people react same, and I keep reminding myself of that while deciding duration, medicines, oils, diet to go along. I also spend time making food plans—individualized Ayurvedic diet modifications that support the therapy. Sometimes just changing meal timings or avoiding certain viruddha ahara (wrong food combinations) makes more difference than adding new medicine. My approach is holistic and steady, focused not just on short term relief but on balancing the doshas in a way that patient feels healthier overall. Restoring balance in digestion, sleep, stress, and energy is what really gives long term wellness. I see Ayurveda as not only a treatment system but a way to guide people back into sync with their own bodies and nature.
Achievements:
I am a UG research scholar and I like to keep exploring different sides of holistic healing, not just the clinical parts. My work and study gave me a chance to look deeper into how body, mind, and emotions connect, and one area that really hold my attention is music therapy. I see music as more than just relaxation—it can open pathways for mental and emotional balance in ways medicine alone sometimes can’t. Along with my Ayurvedic treatment approach, I integrate music and also counseling whenever needed, to create a space where patients feel supported on more than just the physical level. Healing is not just about fixing a symptom, it’s also about calming stress, uplifting the mind, and giving someone confidence in their own recovery. For me, being able to combine classical Ayurvedic care with music therapy makes the journey more complete, more human, and I find patients respond really well to it.

I am an Ayurvedic physician from Kerala with a strong grounding in classical medicine and day to day clincal practice that keeps me learning more than any textbook could. My one year internship at SAMCH (Shri Ayurved Mahavidyalaya and Charitable Hospital) gave me solid exposure to patients with varied needs. There I learned how to apply Panchakarma therapies like Basti, Nasya, Virechan alongside internal medicines, and also how to manage inpatient and outpatient flow in a way that respect both tradition and modern demands. That year was like a foundation for me, helping me see Ayurveda not as rigid recipes but as flexible principles adaptable to each patient. Currently I work as a consultant at Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala, which is one of the most respected names in Ayurveda. The setting allows me to design care plans for patients traveling from many backgrounds—people with chronic pain, digestive troubles, skin diseases, gynecological issues, or stress conditions. Kerala style Panchakarma, with treatments like Abhyanga, Pizhichil, Njavarakizhi or Shirodhara, forms the core of what I do. And the oil formulations and herbal preperations unique to Kerala have really shown me how much deeper healing can go when you choose the right medium. My approach begins with a detailed Ayurvedic assessment—prakriti analysis, roga-rogi pariksha, looking at diet and lifestyle habits, sometimes even the emotional strain they carry. From there I plan therapies that may include classical formulations, diet changes, detox, or even simple but effective dinacharya (daily routines). The aim is not just to reduce pain or rash or acidity, but to reach the root imbalance that is pushing the disease again and again. I see health not as a quick fix but a long journey, where small shifts add up to major balance. My goal is to guide people in that path with honesty and compassion, giving them tools from Ayurveda that are sustainable and natural. For me, every patient is also a teacher, and every case is a reminder of why Ayurveda has lasted through centuries—it meets people where they are and helps them rediscover balance within.
