Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with chronic conditions now—like CKD, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, thyroid stuff, even hypertension & obesity—and honestly, each one comes with its own set of layers. I don’t just look at the symptoms like “blood sugar is high” or “creatinine rising” and stop there. I go deep into what’s messing with the body’s system—diet’s off track? sleep timing weird? prakriti not matching lifestyle at all? That’s where I begin. I use classical Ayurveda meds, but also a lot of basic correction—removing what’s aggravating things in the first place. If needed, I do recommend mild detox (not the fancy ones—real panchakarma or shodhana when truly indicated). And ya, I do pay close attention to the patient’s mindset too... because healing doesn’t happen if they're feeling lost or not understanding the why behind it all. Every plan I make is personal—like what works for one diabetic won’t fit another who also has thyroid issues or liver loading. That’s where the real challenge is, but also the joy—figuring it out bit by bit till it starts settling. I’m not after quick fixes, just steady root-cause work that lasts.
Achievements:
I am kinda wired to pick things up fast—whether it's a tricky clinical case or some new research in Ayurveda that just dropped. That helps me adapt well in busy OPD setups where time’s short but care still gotta be precise. I push myself to keep refining the small stuff too—like dosage timing, patient education, chart clarity—all that. Patients often say they feel heard, maybe bcoz I don’t mind going that extra bit when needed. Guess that’s where trust really builds up over time.

I am practicing as an Ayurvedic consultant right now and honestly—every case kinda reminds me how layered this work really is. People walk in thinking they have just acidity or some ache or sleep trouble, but once we start talking, it’s often a whole mix—stress piling up, food habits out of sync, prakriti totally ignored for years. That’s where I feel Ayurveda gives you a wider lens. I don’t just jump into herbs and churnas, I try to pause and look at the full thing—what time do they eat? How’s their sleep? Are they stuck in a season that's aggravating their dosha and they don’t even kno it? Whether it’s PCOD, anxiety flares, neck pain that won’t go away, IBS, or fatigue that no lab report explains—I work through each case by mapping their doshic balance, mental state, even the tiniest day-to-day triggers. Not to overcomplicate but because otherwise we just keep chasing symptoms that come back. I use classical Ayurveda meds (mostly time-tested ones, no flashy shortcuts), plus small shifts in diet or daily routines—depends on the person, their life pace, their digestion etc. Panchakarma, when it fits, gets added carefully, not like a one-size-fits-all thing. I try to explain *why* I’m suggesting a lepa or a vati or a dinacharya rule—not just ask people to follow blindly. Once they get the logic, they’re usually more into it, they show up for themselves in a deeper way, which helps their healing stick. I kinda see myself not just as someone giving meds but helping ppl understand what their body’s been trying to tell them for years. If that part clicks, the rest starts to shift too—even if slowly. That’s what I focus on. Consistent, grounded, personal care that actually holds up over time.
