Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | Sri Adi Siva Sadguru Allisaheb Sivaaryula Ayurvedic Medical College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working with people who are dealing with those long-term health issues that don’t just go away in a week… things like joint and muscle pain, weight gain that doesn’t shift, skin troubles that flare up at the worst times, bone problems, fatty liver, diabetes, asthma, migraines, and hormonal stuff like PCOS or PCOD. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all thing… every plan I make is kind of built from scratch for that person. Sometimes it’s more about the herbal medicines, other times diet is the bigger part, or Panchakarma to reset the body, or changing how someone lives their day-to-day. Usually it’s a mix, but the point is to get to the *actual* imbalance, not just cover the signs for now. I pay close attention to what’s practical too—because a treatment only works if you can actually live with it, right? Over time, I’ve seen how the right balance between medicine, food, and lifestyle can bring really solid, lasting results… and that’s the part I try to aim for every single time. |
Achievements: | I am often told by patients that they like how I actually *explain* what’s going on with their health, not just hand them a list of medicines… maybe that’s why I get good feedback most times. Being able to speak English, Telugu, Kannada well, manage Hindi fine, and even understand Tamil & Malayalam means I can talk to people in a way that feels natural for them. That really helps make care more personal, maybe even more trustworthi, across different cultures. |
I am working as a general physician with a deep leaning towards Ayurveda, and honestly I see my role less like just “treating” people and more like walking alongside them while they try to fix what’s been off in their health. Over the past year I’ve sat across from patients dealing with all kinds of stuff – pain that just won’t let up, thyroid slowing everything down, PCOS messing with cycles, blood sugar creeping up, weight goals that feel impossible… and I try to make the plan feel doable instead of like a long list of “don’ts.” I don’t believe in only chasing symptoms, that feels short-term… I go after the root imbalance, which means digging into their diet, their daily patterns, their stress triggers, even sleep (because you can’t heal if you’re running on 4 hours). Sometimes it’s a mix of classical herbal formulations, sometimes more about resetting routines, sometimes both—depends who’s sitting in front of me. I spend time explaining why we’re doing what we’re doing. Like if I’m asking someone to change their eating window, I want them to know exactly how it’s going to help their digestion and hormones. This back-and-forth makes people more likely to follow through, and I’ve noticed that when they feel part of the process, results stick longer. I aim to keep my space welcoming… patients can talk openly without feeling judged, which I think is just as important as the medicine part. A big chunk of my focus is prevention—catching the early signs before a condition sets in for good. The goal? To help each person feel like their body is working *with* them again, not against them. That’s the real win for me, even if it takes time, even if progress is slow… because when it clicks, it changes everything.
