Bhopal SIARAM Kolar Road

Doctor information
Experience:
16 years
Education:
MD
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mainly working in Ayurvedic management of lifestyle disorders—honestly, that’s where I’ve seen some of the most lasting results with patients. Gut issues are big. Like, from bloating to IBS or weird digestion cycles, I try to go deep into what’s causing all that, not just give temporary herbs. I also deal a lot with stress, which kind of ties into almost *everything* else—thyroid imbalances like hypothyroid, weight gain, irregular sleep, even mental fog.

Obesity too, not just from a diet angle, but how metabolism (agni basically) is functioning. I use classical therapies, not shortcuts—panchakarma when needed, herbal formulations, satvik ahar planning, plus daily habits stuff like dinacharya, which most ppl underestimate. A big part of my time is actually spent counseling—sometimes that’s what makes people stick to the plan. It’s not just meds. I focus on helping each person reach balance again—mind + body. It's not magic, just slow, steady changes that actually hold.
Achievements:
I am someone who’s always kinda leaned into the academic side of Ayurveda too—not just the clinic stuff. Over the years, I’ve given more than 14 paper presentations at diff platforms, mostly on topics that felt practically useful not just theoretical. One recent moment that kinda stuck with me was winning Best Paper Presentation at WAC 2024 in Dehradun… it wasn’t just about the award, but felt like okay, maybe the work I’m doin is landing right. Keeps me motivated to push further with research that actually matters.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with 16+ years in this field—ya, feels strange saying that, coz the work still keeps evolving and every day’s different. Right now I’m an Associate Professor, been teaching for like a decade now, mentoring students, discussing shlokas, and also how to apply that deep Ayurvedic stuff to *actual* patient care, not just theory on paper. But I’m not just stuck in academics—I keep seeing patients regularly, mostly chronic and lifestyle-based conditions like diabetes, stress-related issues, digestion problems. I’ve worked a lot with long-term cases where people are tired of allopathic patches n just want something more rooted, more sustainable. I try to make every treatment plan truly tailored—depending on prakriti, their past meds, what’s realistic for their routine etc. Holistic doesn’t mean vague—it means patient-specific, and that’s my approach. Teaching also keeps my basics fresh. Like when I’m explaining dosha-vikruti concepts to students, I kinda start applying that logic better with patients too. Keeps me sharp. I attend conferences n seminars whenever possible, not just to teach but to learn from peers who are doing really incredible work in the Ayurvedic space too. What matters most to me tho is staying grounded in classical Ayurvedic texts while still being practical about today's world. Patients don’t live in ancient India—they live now, and I want their care to feel *authentic*, but also do-able. That’s the line I try to walk—respecting the science, but adapting it to modern lives. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I believe in slow, rooted, honest care that builds real change over time, not instant fixes.
