Doctor information
Experience:
7 years
Education:
SDM College of Ayurveda & Hospital
Academic degree:
Master of Surgery in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with spine problems—cervical, lumbar spondylosis, disc bulge or prolapse stuff. These cases are more common than people realise, and honestly, they don’t always need surgery. I use classical Ayurvedic therapies plus parasurgical techniques when needed—like Agnikarma, Siravyadha, sometimes even Kshara Karma for specific conditions. Yeah, it sounds heavy, but when done right, it works way better than you'd think, especially for chronic pain and nerve issues.

I also treat piles, fissures, and fistula using Ayurvedic surgical methods like Ksharasutra & Viddhakarma. These are minimally invasive—less scary than people expect—and with proper follow up, the healing usually sticks. I'm really drawn to neuro cases and degenerative arthritis too... I guess cause they demand slow, steady attention. You can’t rush it. My whole aim’s usually around getting back lost mobility, easing inflammation, and keeping joints functional long-term—not just pain relief for the week.

I also manage sports injuries—not the glamorous ones you see on TV, but real-life ones that mess with routine. For that, I combine rehab work with marma-based therapy or local treatments depending on what’s going on inside. Healing’s not magic, but if it’s planned well and followed properly, it actually works.
Achievements:
I am working across both clinical & academic space from quite a while—9 years with patients, and around 6 yrs now teaching Ayurveda to UG students. Right now I’m deep into research stuff too, mostly on Ayurvedic wound care—trying to figure how the classical chikitsa principles can actually line up with real-time healing outcomes. It’s not always easy to connect the dots, but it’s getting somewhere I think. I like blending study with practice—makes both feel more real.

I am working in Ayurveda since like 9+ years now, and yeah—it’s been a bit of a wild mix of challenges, learnings, and some truly grounding experiences. I’ve seen over 35,000 patients by now—some come in with small things that got big over time, others walk in with real complex issues that didn’t respond to years of other care. Whether it's IPD or OPD, every case pushed me to stay sharp, not just with medicines but with how I *listen* and actually connect to what's going wrong beneath the surface. My time in inpatient care really tightened up my diagnosis skills—seeing acute and chronic flare-ups up close changes the way you plan. You gotta be precise. On the flip side, outpatient practice taught me to be patient with slow, long-term journeys... tracking tiny shifts week by week, building trust with people who’re kinda tired of the whole treatment cycle. And both these setups helped me see where classical Ayurvedic logic still totally works and where it needs gentle adjustment for today’s lifestyles. For the last 6 years, I’m also teaching Ayurvedic UG students—sounds academic, but honestly, it keeps me learning too. When I explain something like dosha theory or diagnostic tools, I’m forced to rethink *how* I use them every day. And I push them to connect the dots clinically, not just memorize texts... Ayurveda’s too alive for rote learning. My treatment plans are almost always built from scratch—there’s no copy-paste. I go deep into root-cause work, not just patching up symptoms. I use food as medicine (and sometimes even as diagnosis!), blend in herbal support, get into lifestyle rewiring where needed, and yes, Panchakarma when it's right—not just cause someone asked for it!! I also spend time walking patients through *why* we’re doing what we’re doing—it’s not just about handing over pills. At the core, whether I’m managing spondylitis or PCOS or even mentoring students, it’s about keeping Ayurveda real—rooted, but practical. Healing that makes sense, lasts longer, and doesn’t feel like a mystery to the person going through it.
