Area of specialization:
I am mostly focused on managing longterm stuff like joint pain, back issues, thyroid fluctuations or cholesterol going haywire… and yeah, also skin flares and digestive messiness that just doesn’t go away easily. My work revolves around Ayurveda—classical type mostly, using herbs, panchkarma (when needed), and a lotta diet & lifestyle tuning. Things like arthritis, cervical spondylysis, PCOS-type gut bloat, hypo thyroid symptoms or chronic eczema—they don’t always respond to standard meds, but when we dig deeper into doshas n root imbalances, it starts making sense. Sometimes the pain’s not just physical, it’s patterns, habits, internal heat, sluggish metabolism or ama built up over yrs. I try connecting all that without rushing, coz most people don’t need fast—they need lasting. My focus? sustainable relief. Personalized plan, not a one-size thing. Coz everyone’s body reacts different. It takes tuning, not templats. And ya, sometimes it’s messy, slow, but if it leads to actual balance—that’s what I aim for.
Achievements:
I am working a lot with disc bulge, nerve compression, & those tough spine cases where ppl struggle with mobility or sleep, and yeah it’s not always quick, but Ayurveda helps shift things when done right. Using a mix of herbal meds, local therapies & posture corrections—I’ve seen real changes. Also seen great skin turnarounds in psoriasis, eczema too, where flareups cooled down for good. I try not just to treat, but to *break the pattern*, not just calm it temporary.

I am currently working as an Ayurvedic physcian—mostly dealing with chronic joint pains, spinal stiffness, weird digestive flareups, and also skin issues that just... don’t respond well to usual creams or pills. Like arthritis (rheumatic, osteo—both), spondylitis, lower back n neck problems, and ya those cases of eczema, psoriasis, acne that seem to come n go for yrs. And gut? I see acidity, bloating, IBS types almost every week. I mostly follow classical line of Ayurveda—meaning I try to stick to what’s authentic n time-tested but also... real life has it’s own twist. You gotta adjust things depending on who’s infront of you. Whether it’s full panchakarma or just rasayan therapy or plain diet reset, it needs to match the patient, not a textbook. That’s what I learned early. Digestive issues are often linked to skin flareups btw (if not always). It’s all tied together—gut, skin, mood. When one’s outta sync, the others show signs too. So my treatments often overlap across systems. Someone might walk in with low back pain and we end up working more on digestion than just muscles. Weird but makes sense after a point. For joint n spine, I often start with pain relief then go deeper—detox, strengthening, and longterm inflammation management. I’m not big on quick-fixes unless the pain is unbearable—coz without fixing the core issue, it’ll keep coming back. Basically I aim for healing that sticks. And if that means a 3-month plan instead of a 3-day one, I’m fine with that. Most of my patients are too once they feel seen and start seeing the shift. I don’t claim to cure everything but I do try to figure out *why* it's happening in the first place... and then build from there.
