Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with gyne and ano-rectal cases these days — kinda where my main focus is. I deal with things like irregular periods, PCOS or PCOD, white discharge, infertility too, depending on what’s going on hormonally or doshic imbalance-wise. On the anorectal side, I manage piles, fissure, fistula, proctitis and even perianal abscess sometimes… those can get tricky but if you start early it’s not too bad. Also handle gastritis, IBS, constipation, GERD and other gut things which often overlap with the above. I don’t ignore general stuff either — people come in with knee pain, back pain, varicose veins etc and I take those seriously too. My plan usually mixes herbs (sometimes classical, sometimes compound ones), diet changes, detox via Panchakarma if its needed, and tweaking lifestyle. But it always depends — nothing I give is exactly same for 2 patients. That’s how I work mostly.
Achievements:
I am doing my Ph.D. right now from a Govt Ayurved college, and it’s honestly adding a whole new layer to how I look at clinical stuff. I've also written 3 books—each one kind of built around specific diseases or treatment themes, not super dense, but useful I hope. Around 10 or maybe 11 research papers of mine got published in journals, mostly related to case studies & therapeutic outcomes. I also get called for lectures & end up presenting papers at quite a few national seminars n events.

I am working in this weird kind of mix between being a full-time Ayurvedic consultant and also a prof at Gaur Brahmin Ayurvedic Medical College—been doing this for more than 6 years now, and honestly it keeps me sharp on both sides. In the clinic I deal with all sorts of cases—digestive, hormonal, skin, stress-related stuff, chronic fatigue types... it’s always varied. I use herbs, yes, but also Panchakarma when needed, & try to tie everything back to diet+routine. That part often gets ignored, but it matters. Teaching on the other hand? It's a whole different challenge. I try to keep it grounded in the classics, but I also push students to think clinically. Like, ok, here’s what Charaka says, but how will *you* handle this case in OPD? I focus a lot on helping them connect theory to practice, not just memorizing sutras. That back-and-forth between seeing patients and training young docs has really deepened how I see healing—like not just treating symptoms but understanding patterns, where things started, why they linger. It’s not always neat, but that’s Ayurveda, right? I do keep updating myself when I get time... new research, newer protocols even if they’re not “mainstream” yet, just to be sure I’m not stuck in one way of doing things. The goal is always to give care that’s real and rooted—not formulaic or just symptomatic. That’s what I aim for, even if every case brings its own twist.
