Experience:
3 years
Education:
The Tamilnadu Dr.M.G.R University, Chennai
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mainly working with fertility cases, different gynecological disorders, and also a lot of arthritis n’ chronic pain stuff that people often come after trying multiple things already. My approach is always to dig into the root cause—could be hormonal imbalance, lifestyle stress, wrong diet, or long-standing inflammation—and then build a plan that feels doable for that person. For reproductive health, I look at cycle patterns, digestion, mental state, even sleep… it all matters. With joint pain or arthritis, I focus on reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and making daily activities less of a struggle. I mix classical Ayurvedic medicines, diet correction, lifestyle shifts, sometimes external therapies like abhyanga or basti, depending on the need. The idea is not just short relief but creating balance that holds up long-term, so patients aren’t back to square one in few months.
Achievements:
I am working a lot with gynecological cases n’ arthritis over the years, seen many patients walk in with long list of struggles n’ go back with less pain, better cycles, more mobility. I don’t just stick to one formula—each plan is different, mixing classical Ayurvedic therapies, right diet, and steady lifestyle tweaks. Some recover slow, some fast, but either way I aim for results that last, not just quick fix... that’s what keeps me motivated and confident in my clinical work.

I am practicing Ayurveda for 3 years now and honestly every case still teaches me something new. My focus is kinda simple… keep it patient-centered but deeply rooted in classical principles, no shortcuts. I try to see the whole picture—body, mind, habits, even the little day-to-day things people think don’t matter but they really do. Each treatment is shaped around a person’s prakriti and vikriti, because no two bodies react the same. I use herbal meds, Panchakarma, diet tweaks, lifestyle shifts… sometimes all together, sometimes just one or two, depends on what feels right for that case. Over time I’ve worked with so many conditions—digestive troubles, menstrual irregularities, chronic pain, stress-linked disorders—and I really don’t just chase symptoms. I want to find the root and work from there. My consultations are more like conversations. I explain what’s going on, why I’m suggesting certain therapies, how diet plays into it, even the long-term plan, so patients feel part of the process instead of just “told what to do.” I also put a lot of weight on prevention—catching things early, building immunity, making the body more resilient. Sometimes small consistent changes make the biggest difference, and that’s what I keep reminding people. My aim is compassionate and ethical care, but also effective… I want my patients to actually feel better in a way that lasts, not just until the next flare-up. Ayurveda gives us that scope, and I’m still learning, refining, and digging into the old texts to bring those insights into modern practice.
