Area of specialization:
I am mainly into pediatric and newborn care, that’s where my focus really lies—working with babies, toddlers, even teens who’re going thru some tough stuff with their growth or neuro issues. I deal with everything from general childhood concerns like digestion, immunity drops, weird fevers that keep coming back... to more complex neurodevelopmental stuff like ADHD, autism spectrum, cerebral palsy, speech delays, or kids not meeting milestones on time. And yeah, that can be scary for parents. My whole way of treating is based on Ayurved—very core classical principles—but I also keep it real to the child’s prakriti, age, stage n what *they* can actually handle. I use herbal combos, rasayanas, child-friendly panchakarma (like very modified snehanam, nasya, not the hard-core detox kind), food tweaks, small daily routines to help settle the nervous system, support brain function, and also build their ojas. Not all kids need the same—sometimes its about just calming vata. Sometimes digestion’s the root of the whole thing. I try to be practical, not pushy. Every kid’s got their own timeline n story... and my goal’s just to meet them where they’re at and guide steady progress—nothing forced, nothing harsh. Just real support.
Achievements:
I am someone who’s always kinda leaned into both study and curiosity—secured 4th rank in my university exams, which felt like a small win but also like, ok, maybe I’m on the right path. What really pulled me in tho was neuro stuff in kids—learning disorders, especially. My thesis dove into that, looking at how Ayurvedic tools could actually help improve learning & cognition. That project... changed how I see child care. More layers, more hope, more ways to actually support them.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with 6 years into practice now, and for the last 2.5 years I’ve been kinda deep-diving into Ayurvedic pediatrics too. I handle adult stuff too—like chronic illness, metabolic mess, joint pains and the usual—but somewhere along the way I got really drawn towards kids’ health. Maybe coz I saw how early intervention actually *changes* their whole growth path, not just fixes the current issue. My day-to-day work covers a lot. With adults, I deal with things like sluggish metabolism, gut-related issues, joint stiffness, allergies—stuff that just lingers on n on. I like using Panchakarma when it suits the case, otherwise good herbal combos + diet/lifestyle shifts do plenty. Each plan I make depends on the person’s prakriti, their habits, age, all of it. Nothing off-the-shelf. I don’t believe in that kind of one-size logic. With kids, I really focus on strengthening immunity, tracking their development right from birth. I see a lot of respiratory stuff, digestive weakness, recurring infections, delayed milestones—sometimes subtle things parents don't always notice first. I use very gentle Ayurvedic interventions, safe for their age—ghritams, churnas, baby-friendly rasayanas. Sometimes you need to go slow, watch how they respond. And then you tweak. That’s the thing, Ayurveda’s slow, but when you do it *right*, it sticks. I don’t just treat what's visible, I try to look at *why* it's happening again n again. That’s where I bring in lifestyle corrections too—food timings, sleep, screen exposure (yes, even for 3 yr olds these days). It's not about pushing strict rules—it’s about understanding the child’s pattern n gently guiding things back to balance. Whether it’s stubborn skin allergies in teens or feeding issues in infants, I try to offer real, lasting support. Not rushed advice. Not temporary patches. Just proper Ayurvedic logic applied with heart.
