Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | Maharashtra University Of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly into managing gut issues, chronic skin stuff, and stubborn joint pain—those 3 kinda keep showing up in ppl again n again, just in different forms. In gastric cases, like gastritis, IBS, acidity, or weird digestion patterns, I usually go deep into how their agni’s behaving... cause without sorting that, nothing else really holds. Some ppl come w/ years of reflux or bloating & think it’s just stress—maybe it is—but there’s usually more going on underneath.
With skin, I work a lot on conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, & some unexplained rashes or allergies that flare up randomly. It's not just surface level—I try to understand where the imbalance is coming from. Half the time it's liver, sometimes it's food habits or sneaky constipation they don’t even mention at first.
And then joint pain—esp in early arthritis or ppl who feel body stiffness but don't know why. I mix oil applications, some internal meds, food + sleep corrections too. I don’t give one-size plans, cause that doesn’t help long-term. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda poured everything into my internship year—like, really all in. Getting the Best Intern Doctor Award wasn't just this shiny thing to flaunt but felt more like a signal that what I was doing—listening properly, checking things twice, working out right treatments with seniors—it all mattered. I was into every bit—history-taking, figuring out diff-dx, handling IPD rounds, those hectic OPDs too... I guess that energy, and always showing up, that’s what got noticed. |
I am someone who kinda shaped my entire Ayurvedic mindset back when I was working at Sassoon Ayurveda Dept in Pune—those years were intense, but also grounding. I got to handle all sorts of meds and therapies, and not just prescribe blindly, but actually *observe* how they act stage by stage in different diseases. I learned to adjust treatment protocols depending on where the patient really was in their journey—not just dosha-wise, but Avastha-wise, which honestly changed everything for me. Prakruti became a big deal to me during that time. Not just something you note once and forget. I started tailoring whole plans—diet, herbs, even timing of panchakarma—based on that one root blueprint. And not like in a textbook way, more like… lived reality. Watching digestion shift or stress patterns lighten when you actually respect someone's constitution? That's the work. Later on, I moved to Seth Tarachand Hospital in Pune. That place had a totally different vibe—more integrative, more open collab with modern diagnostics and specialists. I liked it. It pushed me to bridge my Ayurvedic tools with what the lab or scan showed. Helped me handle a wider range of stuff—some complex chronic cases too—and do it with confidence. One thing that’s always mattered to me: not just managing symptoms on the surface. I’m constantly looking for what’s really off underneath. Maybe it’s ama buildup, maybe it’s agni loss, maybe a wrong food habit ppl think is normal.. whatever it is, I dig until I find a way to bring the system back into balance. Panchakarma, diet mods, timing routines, sometimes even just a right oil—depends on the person. Ayurveda doesn’t heal by formula, and I don’t treat like that either. Everything’s gotta make sense for *that* body, *that* moment. That’s how I see my role: someone who listens, then builds a treatment plan from the inside out.
