Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am working mostly as a general Ayurvedic practioner right now, which means I end up seeing just about everything—digestive stuff, skin flares, hormonal shifts, stress things, migraines, chronic fatigue, allergies... honestly, the list doesn’t stop. What I really try to do is *not* just name the disease and write a churned-out plan, but actually look into where it started—wrong diet habits? lifestyle gaps? past unresolved dosha imbalance? Once I can map that, I build treatment from there using classical Ayurvedic tools—herbal meds, tailored ahara-vihara guidance, and small daily tweaks that suit *that* person. I also really push for prevention—if someone’s falling sick every other month, we need to ask why the immunity’s crashing, not just manage symptoms each time. Education’s a big part too, like explaining *why* they need to avoid certain triggers or why dinacharya matters. That kinda personalized approach is what I’ve stuck with & honestly it feels more human and more real. |
Achievements: | I am kinda proud of getting to present a poster at the Global Ayurveda Fest—it really got me thinking deeper about research + innovation in Ayurveda, beyond just the clinical practice part. Back in college I was also that person who’d jump into seminars or classroom talks without overthinking (well, sometimes overthinking too lol), but it helped sharpen how I communicate cases now. Also got recognizd in Shloka Prayanam comps—felt good to stay close to the old-school oral side of our texts. |
I am still kinda wrapping my head around how much has happned in just these last 8 months. I got to see over 500 patients—not just names on a file but real ppl with stories, symptoms that didn’t match books, and responses to treatment that taught me a lot more than classroom ever did. Every single case added something—sometimes confidence, sometimes doubt, but mostly clarity about why Ayurveda needs to be personal. That whole idea of root-cause isn’t just a phrase to me now, cause I’ve actually *done* the work of figuring it out—through prakriti reading, hetu analysis, tailoring herbs to that one stubborn thing that wouldn’t budge unless I got it right. Started off at the Govt Ayurveda Dispensary, Paingottoor (Mar-April 2024), juggling OPD and learning to keep things practical—what you *can* do with limited time and still follow classical line of treatment. Moved to Nellimattom next month, same OPD scene but somehow I felt more ready—like I knew what I was looking for during consultation. Then came the big shifts—District Ayurveda Hospital, Thodupuzha—Shalya Tantra for a month (May-June). Learning surgical concepts, wound management, minor procedures, all that opened up a whole diff layer of Ayurveda for me. After that was NARIP, Cheruthuruthy (June-July)—real-deal Panchakarma, hands-on, under ppl who *really* knew the texts and the techiques. I saw how deep detox can go when it’s done right. Then Shalakya Tantra (ENT + eye care, July-Aug)—very niche but suprisingly common complaints. By Sept I was at Sparsh Ayurvedic Clinic, Nellimattom, and that place blended modern diagnostics with our way of thinking. Helped me sharpen decisions fast, without losing authenticity of the classical tools. All that put together—it's shaped me into a doctor who listens more, assumes less, and keeps asking, "what’s *actually* causing this?” before reaching for a remedy. I want my patients to heal for real—not temporarily cope. That's the goal every single time.
