Area of specialization:
I am mostly into Marma therapy and Panchakarma right now—two areas that pulled me in early and honestly still keep me curious. Marma work really shifts things for people dealing with long-term joint pain, back stiffness, or even post-injury nerve issues. I learnt how stimulating the right marma points, when done properly—not rushed—can open up blocked energy, ease pain that’s stuck for months or even years. Sometimes it works in quiet ways, sometimes more obvious. But it works. With Panchakarma, I don’t do it for show or as some weekend detox. I see it as serious internal clearing. Each person’s *prakriti* changes how I plan it—whether they need full virechana or just a simple basti series with dietary support. It helps in chronic skin conditions, hormonal stuff, even digestion that’s been off track for way too long. Timing, prep, follow-up—it all matters. And ya, sometimes I do have to convince people to slow down a bit and *let* their system reset instead of rushing the result. Both of these are slow medicine... but deep ones.
Achievements:
I am certified in both Marma therapy n Panchakarma, which kinda gave me the real hands-on clarity I needed. Like before that, I *knew* about the therapies, but after doing the course properly, I understood *how* to apply them—when to go gentle, when to push a bit more. That mix of detox work with precise marma stimulation really changed how I treat stuff like chronic pain or sluggish digestion. Felt like I was finally seeing how the pieces connect. Def one of the more useful things I did!!

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained from Ayurveda College in Coimbatore (BAMS), and my interest kinda kept pulling me deeper into hands-on healing work, not just textbook stuff. I always felt Ayurveda isn’t only about herbs or diet—it’s energy, touch, breath, and rhythm too. That’s why I went for extra training where I could *feel* the therapies more, not just read about them. I did a 1-month Certificate Course in Marma Chikitsa (CCMC), and honestly that changed the way I look at chronic pain and joint issues. Working on marma points—it's subtle but powerful. Some patients came in barely able to move their arm, and after a few sessions of proper point work, plus oil and heat, they could raise it again without wincing. Stuff like that really stayed with me. Then I did the 3-month Panchakarma certification (CCPT). That was full-on. The protocols, the oils, the sequence—you can’t shortcut any of it. I learnt how deep detox actually helps with lifestyle disorders, not in a flashy cleanse way but by clearing old blocks. I’ve used it for patients with skin issues, gut disturbances, even hormonal things like PCOD and sluggish thyroid... the results speak slow but strong. I also completed YIC from S-VYASA University cause I felt like something was missing on the *mind* side of healing. Now I use yoga in my prescriptions too—sometimes just 3–4 poses a day, or breathwork when someone’s wired or anxious. That balance between herbs, detox, and mind-body realignment... that’s where I feel Ayurveda really shows its strength. What I care about is not just the disease label, but the prakriti, the real imbalance beneath. I always try to listen well before writing anything down. Whether it’s chronic fatigue, wound healing, menstrual irregularity or random digestion that’s always off—I look for a treatment path that’s practical and natural and still rooted in shastra. That’s the goal really. To help each patient feel like their healing has a clear direction, not just trial-and-error again.
