Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mainly working with people dealing with long-term joint pain, those nagging migraines, and menstrual issues that just don’t go away even after trying a bunch of stuff. Arthritis is like, one of those things where every patient has a slightly diff story—and I use therapies like Abhyanga, Janu Basti or full Panchakarma depending on what suits their dosha+condition... not one size fits all ya know. Migraines too, I’ve seen good response using Nasya, Shirodhara and mild virechana if needed—but timing matters there. I do treat a lot of women with PCOS, painful periods, or just plain cycle mess-up using things like herbal meds, Uttarbasti and diet correction. My whole aim is to really get to *why* the imbalance is happening and not just mask the symptoms, that never works long term!! Little tweaks in routine or food can sometimes change everything but yeah, consistency is key. I try to keep it simple, effective, and real for each person who walks in.
Achievements:
I am honestly a bit shy talking about "achievements" but ya, over the yrs I’ve gotten a lot of kind feedback from both patients & peers—mostly for my work in chronic joint pain, migraine and menstrual disorders. People started referring their friends & fam, which kinda means a lot actually!! That word-of-mouth trust made me more careful too, like I really gotta get to the root. Not just symptom cover-up. Some mentors appreciated my clarity in applying classical Ayurved texts to modern issues... which felt nice tbh.

I am practicing Ayurveda since 2018—that’s when I started my BAMS journey, and honestly, those 5 years flew by in a blur of study, wards, herbs, notes (and a lot of trial-error thinking too). My internship gave me real space to apply what I’d learned. At Dr. B. N. Bose Sub-Divisional Hospital, I worked with the main doctors’ team for around 6 months—lots of patient flow, chronic stuff, quick decision situations. Then I moved to Belley Sankarpur Rajib Gandhi Memorial Ayurvedic College and Hospital for another 6 months. That phase was more about Ayurvedic protocol planning and tracking outcomes in actual OPD cases. Right now, I mostly focus on treating chronic joint issues (esp pain, stiffness types), migraine cases that just won’t go away, and menstrual problems like irregular cycle, pain, or PCOS stuff. One thing I realised early—if you don’t listen *deep* to the patient’s timeline, like where and how the symptoms started, you’ll just be repeating formulas without results. I like working with classical combinations—but only after understanding the prakriti, agni, and full history of that person. There’s no point pushing kashayams or lehyams if the basics of digestion or stress factors aren’t handled. Migraine for example—it’s not just a head thing. Sometimes it's liver, sometimes it’s sleep or vata derangement, sometimes food timing. Menstrual problems, too... it’s often not what it looks like on the surface. To me, Ayurveda means seeing the person first, not just the diagnosis. That’s what I’m trying to do, case by case. Keep it honest, keep it clear, and keep improving as I go.
