Doctor information
Experience:
8 years
Education:
SJGAMC - Koppal
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am an Ayurvedic Pediatrician and also working as an Associate Professor—kind of balancing both clinic and classroom, which honestly keeps things fresh for me. My main work is with children, from infants to teens, and I focus on holistic care that feels right for their age n stage of life. That means no harsh stuff... just gentle but effective Ayurvedic therapies for digestion issues, chronic cough, low weight gain, recurrent cold things like that, plus stuff related to poor immunity or delayed milestones. I pay attention to how the child’s prakriti is shaping up and what early signs of imbalance are showing—even small patterns can tell a lot if you really watch. I use a mix of age-appropriate herbal formulations, diet correction, daily routine (dinacharya) tweaks n sometimes mild Panchakarma suited for kids... but only if it fits. Besides patient work, I also run a small but growing YouTube channel—like 2.1K subscribers rn—where I just share practical health tips, Ayurveda-based parenting guidance, or home-remedy kinda things. It's casual, but ppl find it helpful I guess.
Achievements:
I am sharing Ayurvedic child health stuff like daily on my YouTube n Insta mostly, kinda love how these platforms reach ppl beyond clinic walls. Sometimes I get msgs like “hey we tried that tip and it helped” and that really keeps me going. I also write regularly in some local papers and a few journals—mostly kid-focused stuff like immunity boosting or seasonal routines. Not everything is big research but it’s real-life useful. Making Ayurveda simpler, that’s kinda become my thing I guess.

I am currently working as an Associate Professor and Ayurvedic Consultant at a pretty well-known Ayurvedic college here in Karnataka. This mix of teaching and clinical practice kinda keeps both sides of me alive—like, one foot always in the Shastra and the other in actual patient care. I guess that’s what I like about it... I get to teach budding Vaidyas from texts like Charaka n all, but also sit with real patients facing chronic issues that don’t come with textbook clarity. In the classroom, I guide both UG and PG students—helping them actually *get* the link between Ayurvedic theory and practical work. Sometimes we’re deep into shloka discussions, other days we’re talking about how to handle a tricky IBS case or PCOD patient during rounds. I’m also pretty involved in research and department stuff—like case presentations, lit reviews, workshops, that sorta thing. It keeps the learning loop going, for me too tbh. On the clinical side, I usually deal with chronic lifestyle disorders, MSK problems, digestive stuff like Grahani and Amlapitta, female health issues, even some skin cases—each one needing its own pace, its own kind of attention. My consults start with a full read of a person’s Prakriti and Vikriti—without that, no use jumping to meds or therapy. I like building long-term plans with people—not just give herbs and send them off. Detox (Panchakarma), Rasayana, Dinacharya tweaks, food habits—it’s all part of it. I do believe education and prevention matter more than ppl think. Like—if someone actually *understands* their imbalance, they’re likelier to stick with care instead of looking for shortcuts. I also team up with fellow docs n students for collabs, paper reviews, sometimes just to debate the classics vs clinical questions. That exchange helps, makes me feel like I'm contributing back to Ayurveda, not just practicing it.
