Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mostly working around Panchakarma & Shamana chikitsa… not in a flashy way but like really understanding when to use what, for *whom*, and why. I don’t just jump into detox for everyone—sometimes people come expecting Vamana or Basti right away but I take time to assess their prakriti, current strength, even the ritucharya part, coz that matters more than ppl think. Panchakarma isn’t a checklist—it’s a process that needs to match the patient’s timing & condition or else it backfires.

Virechana has helped in so many skin + pitta dominant cases where ppl had tried everything but relief didn’t last. Basti too—specially in chronic pain & gut issues, but again, it needs to be planned proper. I combine that with Shamana aushadhi—not every case needs shodhana, and sometimes gentle long-term internal meds work better if the body’s not ready for something deep.

My idea is always to go root level. Even if it means going slow. I don’t like pushing through treatments just to tick protocols. Every body heals differently.
Achievements:
I am working deeply on Ayurvedic skin care—not the beauty stuff ppl usually think of, but chronic things like psoriasis, urticaria & lichen planus where things don’t go away easy. I mean, these cases really make you think beyond standard lepa or ghee-based meds. I had to mix classical formulations with some really tailored therapies—depending on each case’s dosha profile & all that. Watching some of them clear up over months kind of changed how I look at skin disorders now, it stays with you.

I am someone who’s practiced Ayurveda not just in Ayurvedic hospitals or clinics but actually inside allopathic setups too, which—honestly—gave me a way clearer view of how integrative medicine *can* work, if done mindfully. In those environments, my role was kinda fluid... giving Ayurvedic consults, suggesting classical medicines, but also working with real-time diagnostics, understanding charts, and adjusting treatment plans without clashing with the primary protocols. What stood out for me in those experiences wasn’t just the “mixing” of two systems, but learning how patients respond when both traditions are used thoughtfully. Like, post-op patients who were weak or slow to bounce back—rasayana therapy helped a lot more than I expected, actually. And in chronic things—arthritis flares, gut issues that didn’t really resolve, skin stuff that kept recurring—I focused a lot on why it's not healing, rather than just how to treat the rash or pain or whatever is visible. That part of Ayurveda... the root-cause thing... always made more sense to me. Also working in a mixed clinical space meant I had to explain things differently—not just Sanskrit words and theory, but like real practical "why this herb" kind of talk. That made me better at customizing and communicating what Ayurveda can *actually* do. Even now, I lean hard into classical texts, but I don’t ignore blood reports or diagnostic scans—actually they help a lot when you're trying to plan sustainable long-term care. Patients seem to like that. Not because it's fancy but because it makes sense to them. I'm always trying to keep the line open between tradition and practical healthcare reality. That’s the zone where I feel Ayurveda can really shine—less ritual, more relevance.
