Area of specialization:
I am someone who really gets drawn to long-term stuff—like those chronic conditions that just don’t seem to let go. I mostly focus on PCOD, skin stuff like eczema or acne, gastritis flares, and also that confusing space of metabolic issues—whether it’s sudden weight gain or just not gaining at all even with decent food intake. Ayurveda gives me this really deep lens to look beyond the surface symptoms and just...dig into what's not syncing inside. A lotta times, it’s Agni that’s messed up or some dosha pushing the others around. My way isn’t one-size-fits-all—never was. I go back to the texts, but I also tweak things to fit the patient’s lifestyle now. Like for PCOD, I work around insulin response, clearing out ama, and using herbs that help with ovulation n' cycle rhythm—without pushing the body too fast. Skin cases? They need internal clean-up, not just fancy lepas. And migraines or sinus—usually there’s liver, gut, or stress stuff behind that. Virechana, Nasya, Rasayanas—I use them but carefully, not just because “that’s what we do.” My treatments try to stay gentle but still dig deep. And I keep checking—are they actually feeling lighter, clearer, sleeping better? If not, I shift things. I don’t want patients stuck repeating symptoms month after month. I want them to *get* what their body’s trying to say and feel like they can manage it... not just wait for the next flareup.
Achievements:
I am working a lot with PCOD cases lately—kinda became one of those things I kept getting again n again. Honestly, it’s different each time, no two people have same hormone or stress pattern, and that’s where Ayurveda really helps me go specific. I’ve managed many such cases using classic herbal combos, proper diet tweaks, lifestyle shifts (small but real), plus yoga routines that actually stick. Not everyone need meds forever, right? And that’s what I focus on—real reset, not quick fix.

I am someone who always kinda go back to one basic idea—prevention’s way easier than fixing stuff later. That’s where Ayurveda honestly makes the most sense to me. It’s not just about treating illness once it shows up, though yeah we do that too when it’s needed. But really, if you *look* at how the body gives signals—digestion going weird, sleep off track, energy just dipping for no reason—Ayurveda catches all that before it turns into something bigger. My approach usually starts with daily habits. Like, are they eating in a way that suits their prakriti? Are they doing any movement or yoga that actually fits their system—not just following trends? And yeah, lifestyle mess-ups show up quick. Staying up too late, skipping meals, working 10 hours with no break. These things might sound small but they stack up. I focus a lot on correcting those patterns, guiding patients through easy steps they can actually follow. Yoga helps anchor things when mind’s racing or there’s emotional stress. Not saying yoga is magic, but used right—with the right food n rest—it really builds stamina from inside. I work with patients on getting those routines in place: not just giving charts, but checking what works and what didn’t and just tweaking along the way. Treatment part comes when needed, sure. But my goal’s always to create space in the body for healing to *not* be hard. If we’re paying attention early on, most things don’t have to reach crisis point. And that’s where my work mostly sits—in keeping people from slipping into disease in the first place. Just... keeping them balanced, aware, and feeling okay in their body again.
