Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working in areas where metabolism just goes out of whack—like slow digestion, bloating that doesn’t make sense, people feeling full all the time or hungry all the time, that whole mess. I try to dig into where their agni lost balance. Is it diet? stress?? ama build-up?? Usually it’s a mix, tbh. I use herbs, routine shifts, food tweaks—not just prescriptions—and build around how their body reacts, not just what texts say.
I also get a lot of musculoskeletal cases—knee stiffness, nagging back pain, postural tension stuff that won’t quit. Some need external therapies, others just need to stop overdoing movement with zero rest. Every joint tells a different story.
And yeah, women’s health—I work on PCOD, PCOS, cycle delays, and early-stage infertility. Most of that has a hormonal angle, but it's rarely *just* hormones. Sleep, gut, emotions—they all show up in the blood work, even if no one connects the dots. I try to do that. Fix root causes, not rush results. |
Achievements: | I am someone who honestly kinda grew into Ayurveda through both curiosity and competition. Got a distinction in my BAMS course—that really meant something to me, not just grades but the hours, the grind, the theory-prac balance. Later won the Himalaya Quiz thing (which was intense ngl) that really pushed me to learn faster + deeper. Also ended up winning an international essay contest where I wrote on holistic medicine and its place in real life.. that got noticed, which felt surreal. |
I am a BAMS graduate and honestly, that’s where everything kinda started for me—those years diving deep into Ayurvedic anatomy, dravyaguna, pathology, chikitsa… all of it. It wasn’t just about memorizing slokas or protocols (though yeah, lots of that too) but learning *how* to see a body, a mind, a lifestyle—all together, not in pieces. That mindset stuck. Even now when someone walks into my clinic, I’m not really thinking “what symptoms do they have?” but more like—*why’s their system responding this way? where did the imbalance even begin?* My work mostly revolves around identifying that root cause, whether it's poor digestion wrecking immunity, or chronic stress triggering skin breakouts, or hormonal fluctuations leading to gut & mood swings at the same time. Ayurveda gave me tools to see those patterns and also gave me *time-tested* ways to fix them. I don’t rush into giving meds. I like understanding what the body’s trying to say first—like maybe it doesn’t need a strong formulation, maybe it just needs a better ahar routine or fewer stimulants or honestly, just better sleep. I use classical texts, but I mix in clinical practicality too, depending on what their job/lifestyle/kids/food habits allow. Whether I’m working with someone who has chronic acidity or low energy or is just trying to prevent future illness—I build around *them*. Herbal meds, diet guidance, daily routine hacks... sometimes even just helping them pause and listen to their own signals. And yeah, I try to keep my space open and calm—where patients don’t feel judged or rushed. I mean, healing is layered. I’m just here to make sure we’re looking in the right direction.
