Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | SDM College of Ayurveda, Udupi |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly focused on General Medicine (Kayachikitsa) but over the years I got more drawn into certain areas, especially gastrointestinal issues, neurological troubles, degenerative illnesses, and also gynecological conditions that need long term care. Many times these problems overlap, like a gut disorder that is triggering sleep problems or a hormonal imbalance showing up as digestion complaints, and that makes the case complex but also interesting for me. I don’t just look at the surface symptom, instead I try to trace the root imbalance, which in Ayurveda is always connected to prakriti and the stage of the disease.
My treatments are not the same for everyone, even when two patients come with same diagnosis. I rely on classical herbal formulations, specific Panchakarma therapies when needed, and detailed guidance on diet and daily habits. Sometimes even small correction in food timings or routine can make huge impact. For chronic cases like arthritis or gastric ulcers the approach need patience, step by step, but it works more deeply than just giving quick relief. I believe in restoring systemic balance, not patching over the issue. |
Achievements: | I am proud that I secured 9th rank in MD Ayurveda under Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Karnataka. At that time I wasn’t even sure where I stood among so many brilliant peers, but this result gave me confidence that my hard work and long hours with texts and clinics was not wasted. For me it’s not just a number in rank list, it became a kind of reminder to keep pushing myself for evidence based practice yet not lose touch with the classical base of Ayurveda. I still go back to that feeling when facing complex case today, it keeps me grounded and focused on real patient outcomes rather than chasing only theory. |
I am currently working as a Physician at Prashanthi Ayurveda Hospital in Malappuram, also as a General Physician at Santhosh Ayurvidhana Speciality Hospital in Malappuram, and on top of that I consult at Kottakkal Ayurveda Clinic in Calicut. Moving between these different setups gave me a chance to see many kinds of patients, from acute fevers to chronic digestion issues, BP problems, metabolic disorders, and even preventive health checkups. Sometimes the shift from one hospital to another feels hectic, but it helped me grow as a clinician bcz I had to adapt my approach depending on the setting. My practice is built around authentic Ayurvedic principles, but I try not to make it rigid. I look closely at each person’s Prakriti (constitution), their history, their habits, and then trace the root cause rather than just treating symptoms. That may sound basic, but in reality it takes lot of listening and patience. Many cases I handle are chronic—gut disorders, lifestyle diseases like obesity or diabetes, recurring skin and joint probs—and they don’t get better with a single pill. I design treatment protocols that usually combine herbal medicines, Panchakarma therapies, diet corrections, and lifestyle shifts. Sometimes even small adjustments like meal timings make a big diff, but they need to be planned properly. Working in more than one hospital also taught me how important teamwork is. Every patient doesn’t come with one problem, often there’s a mix—like hypertension with anxiety, or gastric trouble with sleep disturbances. For such cases I find collaborating with multidisciplinary teams useful. I try to keep communication clear with patients too. I believe follow-ups, patient education, explaining why a treatment is planned a certain way, all of that builds trust and leads to better recovery. Without that, even best medicines may not work fully. I focus on ethical practice, no shortcuts, and keeping my knowledge updated. There is always something new to learn even within classical Ayurveda—research, case studies, clinical outcomes. My goal is to merge that traditional wisdom with a modern understanding of disease so patients feel confident that the care they receive is not just compassionate but also effective. Some days are challenging, but the moment I see a patient improving, regaining health after yrs of suffering, it makes the effort worth it.
