Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with pain—like, chronic pain that just stays around no matter what ppl try. I use a blend of Keraliya Panchakarma & few focused techniques like Marma therapy, Agnikarma and Viddha Chikitsa... which kinda work best when applied with precision—not just thrown in randomly. Arthritis, frozen shoulder, disc issues, sciatica—these show up a lot, and honestly, it’s rarely just about bones or nerves. Usually there’s a stuck pattern, vata imbalance or repetitive trauma behind it. My way’s not flashy—it’s more hands-on, often layered. Might start with external therapies from the Kerala line, then move into deeper intervention. Like if Agnikarma works, great. If not, maybe the tissue needs preparatory panchakarma first. I don’t rush. I watch gait, movement, pain quality—sharp or dull? stiff mornings or fatigue later in day? I aim for lasting relief—not just "feels better for now". Functional recovery matters. If someone can walk freely or sleep w/out meds after weeks—that’s the win. Not perfect, but I try.
Achievements:
I am still kinda proud about getting 15th rank in Charaka Poorvardha and 9th in Panchakarma during my RGUHS days—even if I don't talk about it much now. Those were tough papers. I also presented papers at a bunch of conferences—some big ones too—and yeah, one of them actually got me Best Paper Award. Not gonna lie, that meant a lot back then. I’ve also ended up winning a few national-level Ayurveda contests, which pushed me to go deeper into classical concepts n apply them clinically.

I am someone who kinda grew into Ayurveda by doing, not just reading. My one-year internship at SDM Hospital in Bengaluru gave me the first proper feel of real-time clinical Ayurveda. I rotated through Kayachikitsa, Shalya, Shalakya, Prasooti Tantra, Panchakarma—all of it. Each dept showed me a different face of patient care. Like, I saw how internal med isn’t just about herbs; sometimes it's timing, sometimes just listening better. Surgery dept wasn’t always sharp tools—it taught me precision and decision-making. Panchakarma was a diff. world altogether—full of subtleties that textbooks rarely mention, especially when patients respond in unexpected ways. After that, I took 3 months off to train deeper at the Ayurvedic Research & Training Institute in Palakkad. That place—being in Kerala—had this raw, classical vibe. We weren’t just reading Charaka, we were trying to apply it. The daily exposure to Kerala-style chikitsa opened up a new way of seeing therapies—like not rushing shodhan when shaman could hold, or understanding how terrain, humidity, local ahar all play roles in outcomes. I got to observe a lot of deep-rooted chronic cases being handled with real patience n clarity. Learned a lot just by being there and watching closely. Since then, my work’s mostly centered around practical, customized care. I rely heavily on dosha analysis, food history, lifestyle mapping before even thinking of medicine. I lean into Panchakarma only when needed—no overdetox stuff. Whether it’s vataj vyadhi or skin issues or stress stuck in the gut, I try to stay honest to the classics but also adjust to modern life patterns—cause half the patients who come don’t live like the people in Ashtanga Hridayam. Ayurveda’s a long game. And I guess I’m ok walking that slower path with ppl who’re ready to actually shift—not just mask symptoms for 3 weeks n bounce back to the same patterns. That’s kinda where I’m at now.
