Ayurved and Unani Tibbia College and Hospital
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mainly focused on treating lifestyle problems—like sugar issues, weight gain, digestion going haywire—plus joint troubles and some of the nervy stuff too. My thing is using classic Ayurved but not in a one-size way. Everyone’s got a different vibe in their body, right? I try to tune into that with Nidan (root-cause thing) before even thinking of meds or detoxes. Mostly I go deep into understanding what’s disturbing the doshas—maybe it's food, sleep, stress or just wrong habits stuck over years. Like someone may show up with acidity but what they really got is a slow digestion+vata+stress mix. That’s why I build super tailored plans… herbs, some Panchakarma if needed, daily routine tweaks, all of it. And honestly? I like when patients ask stuff. Tells me they’re thinking. Long-term conditions like diabates, arthritis or colitis, they don't vanish overnight. But with the right combo of therapies and lifestyle balancing, things do shift. And my focus is always on real relief, not just temp patching. Even if it takes time, I wanna see them walking lighter, sleeping better, living fuller. If you’re tired of pills but don’t know where else to go, maybe Ayurveda’s worth a try. I don’t promise miracles—but I do listen, track progress, adjust care when needed, and walk it with you.
Achievements:
I am working in Ayurveda for like 10 yrs now—kinda long ride, really. I’ve mostly focused on treating chronic and lifestyle-based illnesses using classical therapies... the old-school way, but still practical. I always try sticking to authentic stuff, nothing diluted. Along this time I’ve seen how much people need patient-centric care, not just generic medicines. Helping improve someone’s life quality, that still feels worth it every time, no matter how routine the case looks at first.

I am an Ayurvedic physican with a lil over 3 years of clinikal experience, mostly in Kayachikitsa (internal medicine) & Panchakarma treatments. I like to go deep into root causes than just dealing with sypmtoms. My practice leans on classical Ayurvedic texts but also looks at the real-life messiness of patients' lives—like stress, food habits, modern routines, etc—cause that stuff matters more than we think. In my day-to-day work, I handle all kinds of cases. Lifestyle disorders like diabetes or obesity, autoimmune flare-ups, thyroid issues... even those tricky gut-related or joint probs. Most of my patients come in tired of temporary fixes—they want real healing, and I try to give that through proper diagnosis, Prakriti analysis, detox therapies, and targeted herbal meds. Sometimes it’s a long road but worth it when they feel balanced again (or at least start feeling like theirselves). I work a lot with Panchakarma—both for curative and preventive care. That includes Vamana, Virechana, Basti and more, all tailored to the person not just their disease label. There’s something about seeing someone come in feeling heavy or foggy, and walk out clearer, lighter... hard to explain but that’s the power of Panchakarma if done right. My way of treating isn’t just protocol-based. Every person has their own patterns, history, resistance... Ayurveda gives the framework, but I listen close to what their body’s telling us. I like to explain stuff to patients too—why we’re choosing a certain therapy, how food interacts with their dosha, etc. Makes them trust the process more. All said, my goal's always been long-term healing not quick relief. If someone's ready to explore deeper care, I’m here to help them walk that path... step by step.
