Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working around acne, acne scars, pigmentation and this kinda constant hairfall that doesn't stop no matter what ppl try. It’s usually not just surface level stuff… I look at doshas, prakriti and all the imbalances that’re hidden underneath. Like even the same pimple looks different when it’s vata-related vs pitta-led, you know? That’s why I never use fixed protocols—everything's made to match the person's body type + lifestyle + even what season it is.
I combine herbal lepas, internal meds, food suggestions (which ppl sometimes ignore 🙄), and some really specific oil treatments depending on how deep the issue runs. Some respond super fast, others need more patience—depends on how long they’ve been using steroids or chemical things before coming to me.
Also, I do Netratarpan regularly. That’s one therapy I feel doesn’t get enough attention. It helps soothe tired dry eyes, especially now with everyone stuck on screens... and in few cases, even helped improve vision clarity slightly, which surprised me too.
My main goal tho—give ppl care that actually fits *them*, not some generic “herbal fix all.” Ayurveda allows space for that kind of care. You just have to read the signals right, and act accordingly. Mistakes do happen, but I try adjusting quickly & staying honest with the patient. |
Achievements: | I am post-grad with focus in Ayurvedic dermatology, hair disorders & Agnikarma therapy... that combo kinda shaped how I deal with tricky skin & hair cases. The training let me get better at spotting underlying patterns before jumping into treatment. Agnikarma esp—I use it in pain releif & targeted spots, works well when done precise. All this study n practice just made me more sure about giving care thats both result-driven & rooted in the classics, even if it takes longer sometimes. |
I am practicing Ayurveda since 18+ years now, and honestly... it still surprises me how much I keep learning especially when it comes to skin and hair. My focus—if I had to sum it up—is deeply rooted in Panchakarma, but more specifically in *Upakarma* therapies. These smaller, supportive steps within the Panchakarma frame can be powerful if you adjust them exactly right to a person’s *prakriti*. That’s actually where my attention goes first—understanding their natural constitution. Because once that’s clear, everything else sort of falls in place. I work a lot with chronic and tricky skin issues like pigmentation, hair fall, premature ageing, even stubborn acne that just doesn’t respond to regular creams and pills. And no—I don’t use shortcuts. I rely on traditional protocols, yes, but also create my own Ayurvedic blends—like facemasks, oils, even hair packs. These aren’t random—they're planned, adjusted, dosha-specific, and meant to *actually* support the skin's natural cycle. I’ve spent years refining these formulations, keeping them close to classical wisdom but tweaking them slightly when needed for a person’s lifestyle or condition. Ayurvedic facials in my clinic aren't just glow-up routines. They’re built to go deep—cleanse the layers, calm pitta excess or vata dryness, stimulate sluggish kapha skin... whatever’s needed. And I find that when these treatments are given at the right time, in the right sequence—results show up clearly, not just externally but also in the way ppl feel about themselves. There's a calmness, a reset almost. I don’t push chemical-based stuff, even when patients ask for it. Instead, I educate—like how proper *abhyanga* or a dosha-correct oil can do far more than a synthetic serum. My aim is to blend the core of Ayurveda with practical, everyday guidance. I don't just want patients to come for sessions—I want them to *understand* what's going on in their skin or hair and how to maintain it naturally. Things don’t always go perfect, sometimes I still need to rethink protocols mid-way, but I guess that’s what makes the process human... and real.
