Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with chronic cases these days—joint pain, arthritis flares, gout where ppl can’t walk right, or digestion issues like bloating, acid splashin up the throat (reflux), or that heavy feeling after meals. My thing is figuring out what’s *behind* all this. Usually it’s lifestyle—late dinners, bad sleep, stress eating, or just doshas outta sync. I go case by case, dosha by dosha, nothing copy–paste.

Muscle stiffness, frozen shoulder, those also show up often. I use a mix of abhyanga, herbal decoctions, diet plans that match their prakriti, sometimes basti if things are stuck real deep. I also treat respiratory stuff like sneezing streaks, seasonal wheeze, or weird coughs that just don’t go away. Liver sluggishness, skin rashes, fissures, migraines—yeah those too.

Lately more ppl coming for anxiety+hair loss or stress-related gut stuff. For those I go slow\... breathing, herbs, maybe mild virechana if needed, but always keeping the mental part in focus. I don’t rush protocols, I tweak as we go.
Achievements:
I am kind of drawn to community work—like real face-to-face stuff, not just sitting in a clinic. I’ve held bunch of free health checkup camps, mostly in areas where people don’t usually go to docs unless things get real bad. At those camps we focus on early detection, like catching joint issues or gut troubles before they go chronic. I also try to talk about Ayurveda basics... like dosha signs, simple diet rules, small habits that actually matter. It’s tiring but yeah, worth it totally.

I am a practicing Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 yrs into this field now, and honestly it still feels like I’m learning something new every single day. My work mostly revolves around managing chronic and lifestyle disorders using Ayurveda’s core methods—like herbal meds, diet restructuring, detox plans like virechana, or even just shifting a patient’s sleep-wake timing a bit, which believe it or not, changes a lot! Over these 3 years, I’ve seen all sorts of cases. Some that respond quick, some that go in loops for months before they finally settle down. I mostly handle digestive issues, PCOD, skin breakouts, hairfall stuff, seasonal flares, and ppl who come in just feeling...off. Like not exactly “sick” but not ok either. I don’t just look at their labs or symptoms, I ask everything—food habits, how they poop, whether they wake tired, when they eat last at night, all of it. I also work with patients who are dealing with stress or anxiety that shows up on their skin or digestion. That’s where yoga and basic breathing practices come in, not always the asanas—just a little slow-down in the body. I use classical texts but I also study modern interpretations when needed, esp. for younger patients who live fast-paced techy lives. Ayurveda has to fit *them*, not just the other way around. I don’t claim to fix everything or know all answers, I’m still growing. But these 3 years taught me that consistency, listening, and explaining why we do what we do makes patients feel safe. And that trust? That’s what keeps them coming back even when progress feels slow.
