Area of specialization:
I am working mainly in deaddiction care through Ayurved—something that’s honestly complex but very close to me. I focus on helping people dealing with alcohol dependency and other types of substance addictions. But I don’t just mean giving a herb and calling it treatment. Like, there’s more. Withdrawal symptoms, mental shifts, all that—these need to be seen together, not in isolation. My aim is to build a path where detox isn't just physical but mental too. I design each plan based on prakriti, dosha imbalance, their triggers or habits, even their food cravings... stuff that may look “small” but tells a lot. I use Rasayana chikitsa, nasya, herbal meds, sometimes Virechana where fit—it depends. Also, I’ve worked with patients undergoing cancer treatments who came with side effects from chemo or radiation. Nausea, fatigue, low immunity or even toxic build-up—here, Ayurveda’s shodhana and dhatu-poshana principles really work. We can't “reverse” chemo, but we *can* support the body through it, and that’s what I try to do. Basically if someone’s struggling, I look at the whole picture—not just what’s on paper.
Achievements:
I am trained in Nadi Parikshan n yeah, it’s one of those things that still amazes me every time—the pulse just tells you more than most lab reports. Through that, I’ve handled 150+ deaddiction cases, mostly related to drug or alcohol dependency. Each case needed different lens. Detox isn’t just about throwing herbs at withdrawal... it’s about sensing where they’re stuck—physically, mentally—and then step-by-step, easing 'em out of that loop. It's slow, but it works.

I am a qualified Ayurvedic doctor—completed my BAMS and currently diving deeper into the world of Ayurveda through an MD degree. Like, honestly, I got into this not just to “practice medicine” but to understand the person in front of me. Their doshas, their daily life, even small habits—they all speak to the real cause of illness. And that’s the part I care about most: getting to that root, not just patching symptoms for a while and calling it done. I’ve been pretty into learning through both books and people, which means I’ve got good exposure dealing with lifestyle-related issues—like stress-related digestion probs, joint stiffness, metabolic disorders, even some neuro conditions that tend to be stubborn. These are where I find Ayurveda really shines—when you use yukti properly and just, well, listen to the body. What I do is mix a bit of it all—herbs, personalized ahar, dincharya tweaks, panchakarma when needed—and no, not blindly, but in a way that actually fits the patient’s prakriti and stage of disease. I believe Ayurveda isn't just about tradition, it’s a living science that can adapt, grow, adjust to modern life without losing its roots. And that’s something I try to reflect in how I treat every case. Honestly, for me, healing is more of a conversation than a one-time solution. I like when patients ask questions, when they feel part of the treatment, not just on the receiving end of some long prescription.
