Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with skin and women’s health, coz those are the two areas where people often get stuck with long-term issues and not enough answers. In skin, I handle stuff like eczema, fungal patches that just won’t go, acne that flares randomly or just stays there, and those dry itchy rashes ppl keep treating with creams but it always comes back—usually the issue’s deeper. I use classical herbal formulas, detox when needed, and yeah, food matters a *lot* more than ppl think. Little tweaks go far. When it comes to gynecology, I deal with PCOS, period irregularities, hormonal shifts like hair fall or acne from imbalance, and infertility cases where hormones seem all over the place. Also postpartum care, coz that recovery gets ignored a lot—there’s tiredness, mood stuff, cycle changes that aren’t “just in the head.” I use Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma when timing’s right, and teach simple lifestyle resets that don’t overwhelm. It’s not one-size fits all. I study the whole person. That’s how Ayurveda works, really.
Achievements:
I am into research n updates, like I keep showing up at national seminars, not just to listen but to *learn* what’s actually evolving in Ayurvedic treatment methods. I did present few papers too—mainly around skin issues, gynecology stuff, and how Ayurveda handles it differently. These things make me think deeper, honestly. Also I’m into clinical case discussions, coz that’s where real learning happens... not always in theory. Keeps my diagnosis sharper n care more real, more personal.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor from Kerala, practicing for over 10 years now, and honestly—still learning, still figuring how deep this science really goes. Most of what I do is rooted in classical Kerala Ayurveda, the kind passed down not just in books but through actual lived experience, watching how people heal slow, steady, and fully. My work mostly revolves around chronic & lifestyle conditions—stuff like joint pain, diabetes, digestion issues, hormonal shifts, all that day-to-day struggle type stuff ppl carry around without even realising how much it’s pulling them down. I work a lot with Panchakarma therapies, but not just as a detox for the sake of it. It's about timing, choosing the right procedure, matching it to where the person *actually* is in their health. Not everyone needs virechana, you know? Sometimes it's a subtle dietary correction, or one small herbal combo done right. I tailor meds using traditional formulations, but also adapt—coz everyone’s prakriti and pathology isn't textbook neat. Women’s health is a big area for me. Menstrual irregularities, PCOD-type cases, perimenopause stuff—it’s not just about hormones, it’s about gut, sleep, and mental load too. I try to explain that Ayurveda looks at the whole pattern, not just blood work. Stress management too, lot of ppl come with anxiety-like symptoms that are masking digestive imbalances or vata overload. That’s where I guide them into realistic routine shifts, and slow internal work with herbs or rasayanas. Preventive health is underrated—most ppl only show up when something’s already out of hand. I do spend time educating, not in lectures, but more like hey, try *this* first before we go into therapy mode. It works when ppl feel heard, not judged. I’m big on making things doable. Ayurveda’s not magic, but it *can* be deeply healing when personalized. I just help ppl find their version of that—no noise, no rush.
