Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mainly working with Ayurvedic care for skin troubles, women’s health concerns, menstrual issues, and lifestyle related diseses that just keep coming back if you don’t get to the root. In skin I see a lot of acne, pigmentation patches, stubborn rashes, even stress-linked flare ups that change with season. For women’s health I focus on things like irregular periods, PCOS, hormonal imbalances — and honestly each case feels different even if the name of condition is same. I tend to mix herbal formulations, diet changes (sometimes very small but they matter), detox plans, and lifestyle shifts. Not about suppressing symptoms for a while, but helping the system reset. I like when patients start feeling energy come back, digestion settling, skin clearing without harsh stuff. It’s more about restoring the balance inside than chasing every single symptom outside, though yes sometimes you have to do both at same time.
Achievements:
I am glad I got a chance to publish my research in a UGC approved journal, it was on Ayurvedic principles and how they really fit in day to day clinical work. Took a lot of late nights and re-checking data (and yes, few typos slipped through before final). For me it wasn’t just about getting it printed, but showing that Ayurveda can be looked at with same evidence-based lens as modern healthcare, and still hold its value. That mix of tradition & science feels worth pushing for.

I am an Ayurvedic practitioner with a little over five years in real hands-on practice, moving through different setups and learning way more than I thought I would at the start. My first proper year was at Sreekumara Pharmacy, and honestly that time gave me the base—working closely with classical formulations, seeing how patients respond, figuring out the right balance between textbook theory and what actually works in the moment. Then came a short but intense stint, about 3 months, at a Govt Ayurveda Dispensary in a rural area. That was different—here it wasn’t just individual care, it was about whole communities, sometimes with very limited resources, and still finding ways to give relief. For the past 4 years I’ve been running my own clinic, which is its own kind of challenge and freedom. I see everything from lifestyle disorders and digestion issues to joint pains, respiratory troubles, and those vague chronic things that don’t always fit neatly in a category. I rely on Ayurvedic diagnostics—looking at prakriti, dosha balance, diet habits—then working with herbal medicines, detox therapies, and daily routine corrections. It’s not a copy-paste treatment style, each plan is shaped around the person sitting in front of me, not just their symptoms. Right now I also teach as a paramedical faculty member. That’s been unexpectedly rewarding—sharing what works, watching students connect theory to actual patient cases, and at the same time, realizing teaching keeps my own clinical mind sharper. For me, Ayurveda isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about getting to the root cause, restoring balance in the system, and helping people actually feel better in a sustainable way. I like when patients leave not just with medicines but with clarity on what’s going on in their body and how they can support their own healing at home. It’s that mix of tradition, logic, and empathy that keeps me grounded in this work.
