Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with stress-linked issues now—like ppl come in with burnout, anxiety, weird sleep cycles, constant stomach upsets, and when you dig a bit, you see how closely it’s all tied up in the mind-body thing. I use herbs yeah, but not just herbs—it’s also daily routine corrections, emotional unloading through relaxation practices, maybe some Dinacharya stuff or manas balancing therapies if that’s what fits. I try to really match it with the patient’s prakriti too, bc what works for one totally doesn’t for the next. I also see a lot of gut disorders—things like indigestion, reflux, bloating, IBS—and for those I go with a deeper root-cause strategy rather than symptom patching. Gut and mind both need unpacking usually. It’s not just about stopping the bloating or calming the panic—it’s abt rewiring how their system copes overall. I think that’s where Ayurveda works best when you don’t rush it, just let it sync with the person, step by step.
Achievements:
I am part of the Apta Mitra teleconsultation team during peak covid time—it was a lot. Calls came in nonstop, ppl were scared or stuck alone or confused abt symptoms. I handled both medical guidance n mental reassurance, which kinda blurred together in many cases. Helping them understand immunity care from Ayurveda while also calming them down—like real-time triage but from a phone line. Honestly that time taught me more abt crisis-handling than anything college did,, and def made my approach sharper.

I am someone who kinda landed in the in-between space of Ayurveda and modern medicine during my internship year—and honestly, that’s what shaped a lot of how I practice today. I spent that year rotating through OP and IP care, doing hands-on stuff in general medicine, Panchakarma, Stree Roga, ENT, and even emergency settings. That mix gave me a chance to learn both the flow of classical Ayurvedic protocols *and* how to think through lab reports, basic modern diagnostic tools etc., without feeling like I had to pick one system over the other. I got to help plan treatments, do intake, explain therapies, sometimes even sit through procedures where I'd just observe, but those moments taught me more than any textbook. During Panchakarma postings I got real-time exposure to basti prep, virechana protocols, and how patients respond through each stage. I also learnt how to balance the "shamana" approach (herbal meds, diet shifts) with deeper cleansing if that’s what the case needed. After the internship, I worked independently for 3 months in OPD—no safety net. I had to handle walk-ins, make quick clinical decisions, do follow-ups, and adjust plans when something didn’t go the way I thought it would. That period helped me realise where my gaps were, but also made me trust my instincts more. I focused on treating simple fevers, migraines, gut issues, irregular cycles, and even preventive work like seasonal regimens or immunity support. I now try to look at each patient as a whole—not just “what’s the disease” but *why now?* what triggered this imbalance? I think having exposure to both healing styles pushed me toward a more rooted but realistic model of care. Natural, but not vague. Structured, but still human. My aim's not quick fixes, it’s building something sustainable for their health journey—small changes, but the right ones.
