Area of specialization:
I am mostly into gut-related complaints—things like acidity, gas, sluggish digestion, weird bloating that just won’t go, and even full-on IBS patterns where nothing seems to work. I usually start by looking at how their agni’s doing... if that’s off, the rest sorta unravels anyway. I take time to figure out the dosha involvement, what’s triggering it in their lifestyle—eating too late, over snacking, skipping meals, etc. I don’t just hand out a churnam and hope it fixes everything. I also work with ppl dealing with chronic aches—lower back, joint stiffness, inflammatory stuff—where therapies like Basti, Kati Basti, Abhyanga actually help beyond just pain relief. Not every patient wants full detox, but where needed, I bring in Panchakarma to help clear deeper ama blocks. That mix of herbal meds, oil therapies, and diet mods usually shifts things slowly but steadily. My goal’s not just short-term fix but getting the body to reset its balance again. I try to keep it real + doable.
Achievements:
I am usually working with folks who either come in limping from knee pain or complaining their gut’s just “not right” anymore. One thing I’ve done quite a bit is help older patients with long-term joint pain—especially knees or lower back—through Panchakarma-style therapies they can partly manage at home too, like warm oiling routines or easy Basti setups. I’ve also treated tons of digestion stuff—IBD, GERD, indigestion—by fixing agni, cleaning up daily food habits & building simple herb mixes they can stick with.

I am mostly grounded in classical Ayurveda—like the kind you find in the actual samhitas, not just modern diet trends floating around. I’ve always been drawn to how simple herbs and well-timed routines can shift someone’s health if done right. Honestly, I look at symptoms, yeah, but I’m more interested in *why* they’re showing up in the first place. That means listening closely, sometimes asking stuff patients don’t expect—sleep timings, what they eat when bored, how their mood’s been around meals—things that tell me way more than just dosha quiz type stuff. My work mostly focuses on matching treatment to *prakriti*, not just diagnosis. I try to make medicine that’s easy for ppl to access & stick to—not everyone’s up for long churnas n kashayams all the time. That said, I still follow core Ayurvedic logic—like how agni behaves, how dhatus respond, and what ahar they're missing (or overdoing). I also tweak diet plans to match the illness *and* their day-to-day lifestyle. What’s the point of a great protocol if they can’t actually follow it? I’ve been particularly into gut health—digestion problems, IBS-type patterns, acidity, bloating—those chronic things ppl think they have to live with. I also see skin flare-ups, hormonal issues (especially in young women), and stress-linked conditions, which are like, everywhere now. I use herbs, diet, and home-based hacks too, but only when they fit. I won’t just suggest something for the sake of it. Ritucharya comes up a lot too—I try getting ppl to align their habits seasonally, though ya sometimes they forget. I just remind them again next visit! Mental health gets looped in, even if someone walks in for skin—because most of these are connected anyway. End of the day I’m just tryna offer care that’s grounded, real, and doesn't confuse patients more than they already are. If they leave with clarity, some hope, and a plan they actually *get*, then I feel like the consult worked.
