Area of specialization: | I am working on my MD in Kaumarbhritya right now—Ayurvedic pediatrics—which honestly feels like the perfect fit for me. There’s just something about working with kids, especially newborns and infants, that makes this whole path feel meaningful. I get to focus on things like natural immunity support, digestion issues in babies, developmental lags, or just figuring out what’s throwing the balance off when a child’s not thriving the way they should. Ayurveda gives us so many tools—gentle, effective, safe.
Before this, I was in the gynecology dept. where I spent a good amount of time working with women across all stages—period troubles, fertility prep, PCOS cases, menopausal symptoms, pregnancy discomforts, you name it. We used classic Ayurvedic protocols—mostly herbal formulations, but also food therapy and daily routine tweaks. Honestly? I learned a lot from those patients, from seeing how connected the female system is to digestion, sleep, mental state... nothing exists alone.
Now I feel like I’m kinda bridging both spaces—maternal and child care. And I like that. Because when you treat a child, you’re indirectly helping the mother too... and vice versa. My goal’s always been to create care plans that don’t just fix things fast, but actually make sense in the long run. Whether it’s a colicky baby or a woman dealing with long-term hormonal shifts—I try to look at the whole story before anything else. |
Achievements: | I am a BAMS graduate—passed with 70%, which yeah, I know isn’t some top rank, but it actually meant a lot to me because I had to really work to get there. I didn’t want to just memorize stuff n move on—I wanted to get how Ayurveda connects all these systems in the body. I kept showing up at things like Ayurveda Kaushalam n WAC seminars, not just for attendance but to listen deeply... some of those talks on integrative healing n updated chikitsa techniques honestly changed how I now approach care. |
I am a BAMS doc—yeah, trained in classical Ayurveda but also someone who’s constantly figuring out how to actually *apply* that in day-to-day modern health issues. Not just the theory part. I really got deep into patient evaluation, trying to listen beyond symptoms, you know? Like... what’s under all that indigestion, those random joint pains, energy dips, skin flareups—where’s it really coming from? I mostly work with chronic stuff—digestive problems like IBS kinda patterns, acid reflux, sluggish gut... plus hormonal swings, PCOD, thyroid-related shifts, stress-related fatigue, even weight gain that doesn’t respond to typical diets. And a lot of musculoskeletal issues too—backaches, frozen shoulders, joint stiffness that’s been lingering for years. I try not to treat the issue in isolation—like it’s not “just gas” or “just hormones.” It's a system thing. Diagnosis is a big part for me. I take time with pulse, prakriti analysis, sometimes even just observing how a person talks or sleeps or reacts to food. Treatment’s where I get a bit geeky—herbal meds of course, but I like building combos based on *that* person. I often mix classical formulations with fresh herbs or local substitutions depending on climate, digestion strength, and age. Panchakarma comes in mostly when I feel toxins have piled up—though again, not always the full-blown versions. Some just need light virechana, some only abhyanga & rest. I also do diet counseling, and I don’t mean generic lists—I really try to make food a healing tool for *that* dosha imbalance. Like, I’ve seen plain rice kanji help more than 5 meds when gut fire is too weak. Same with daily routine—I help people build tiny shifts that reset the body clock n digestion without stressing them out. My goal’s pretty simple—I want folks to *understand* their body again. Not fear it. Not suppress symptoms endlessly. Ayurveda gives us that—a way back to balance, naturally and gradually. I just try to walk with patients in that direction.
