Area of specialization: | I am mostly working on skin issues and hormone imbalances—things that don’t just go away with surface-level stuff. I focus a lot on chronic skin infections, slow or non-healing wounds, acne that keeps flaring up or those weird fungal patches that just won't quit. On the other side, I also work with patients dealing with diabetes, thyroid ups n downs, and PCOD—where hormones just keep throwing things off, right from weight to mood to periods.
What I’ve seen is that these conditions usually got a root deeper than what you see outside. Could be diet, stress, ama buildup, or even just wrong daily habits that keep adding up quietly. So I use classical Ayurvedic tools to figure out what’s actually outta balance, then plan accordingly. I rely on internal herbal meds—usually custom, not readymade—along with external therapies if needed. Panchakarma sometimes, but only when it makes sense. Not for show.
I’m very particular about guiding diet and mind-body stuff too, coz without that healing doesn’t hold. Even a good med can’t do much if routine’s totally outta sync. |
Achievements: | I am honestly most proud when a patient tells me they *feel better*, not just that their report looks better or rash is gone. For me, patient well being isn't just some line—it’s kinda the whole point. Whether I’m treating skin infections, period troubles, or sluggish digestion... I keep checking, are *they* feeling okay? Is sleep better, mood lighter, energy up?? That tells me more than half the labs out there. I count that as achievement, even if nobody puts it on paper or wall. |
I am an Ayurvedic physician with about 2 years of hands-on clinical work, and honestly, every day still teaches me something new. My core focus is always on the person, not just their illness or diagnosis. I don’t go after symptoms alone—what I really try to do is understand *why* something’s off in the first place. Once you trace the imbalance back to its root, the rest makes more sense. Most of the time, it's not just one thing. It could be diet, stress, wrong habits, even seasonal shifts messing with the doshas. I usually start by looking into the patient’s *Prakriti* (their baseline nature) and *Vikriti* (what’s out of balance right now). That gives me a better map to work with. Based on that, I suggest personalized internal medicines—herbal of course—paired with stuff like *Abhyanga*, *Panchakarma*, or smaller daily tweaks to bring the system back into sync. Sometimes it’s the simple things that do the most. A right herb at the right time. Or a wrong food causing all the fire (literally, Pitta overload... it’s a thing.) I also spend quite a bit of time explaining things to patients. Not everyone comes in knowing what *Dinacharya* or *Ritucharya* even mean, and that’s okay. But once they get it—it clicks. Small shifts like changing what they eat in monsoon or fixing sleep can do more than people expect. Whether someone’s dealing with IBS, menstrual issues, breakouts, or just feeling meh all the time with no clear answer—I try to put the pieces together without rushing into heavy meds or harsh cleanses. Clinical experience has taught me patience (which I didn’t always have), and the importance of ongoing learning. I keep going back to the texts, case notes, and even modern journals here n there. I feel I still have a long way to go but that’s the exciting part. Each patient’s story is different. My goal is to help them feel heard and walk them through healing that’s slow maybe, but solid and real—not forced.
