Education:
Kerala University of Health Sciences
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am more drawn towards treating skin problems, manasa roga (mental health) and those stubborn hair & scalp issues that keep coming back no matter what people try. I also work with sleep troubles, diabetes, digestion mess-ups and chronic wounds or vrana that need both patience and precision. Lifestyle disorders, obesity—they’re not just about diet, they’re about re-aligning daily rhythms with the body’s prakriti. I like digging for the root cause, not just calming symptoms for a while. Every plan I make is different… herbs, diet shifts, detox if needed, maybe yoga or breathing work. Sometimes we need quick relief first, sometimes we go straight into deep work—it depends on the patient’s energy and stage of the condition. For me, the goal is long-term stability, real rejuvenation and seeing quality of life climb back up, not a temporary “you’re fine now” that fades in weeks.
Achievements:
I am a BAMS graduate and that really shaped how I see health n’ disease… not just in a text-book way but in real, practical sense. The course gave me solid grounding in classical ayurvedic principles, hands-on clinical diagnosis and the whole idea of treating a person not just symptoms. It kinda trained me to look at a health problem from multiple angles—tradition, logic, and patient’s actual day-to-day reality. That’s what I carry into my practice every single day.

I am an Ayurvedic physician who kinda lives in that space between ancient wisdom and what people actually need today.. My base is strong in the classical side of things—trained and certified in Marma Chikitsa (CCMC) and Panchakarma Therapy (CCPT) from the National Research Institute, Cheruthuruthi—and those years shaped how I see healing. For me, it’s not about chasing symptoms, it’s about digging till you find the root cause and fixing from there. That’s where real recovery starts, not just some temporary ease. When I meet a patient, I don’t just give them a ready-made plan. I try to read their prakriti and vikriti, listen to what’s really bothering them, then blend treatments—herbal formulations, diet tweaks, detox via Panchakarma or Shodhana—plus extra stuff like yoga, meditation, or even seasonal wellness routines. Sometimes we need to go slow, sometimes a more intensive approach fits. Depends on their energy, their life, even the season outside. I’ve worked with cases from chronic stress & hormonal mess-ups to skin flare-ups, digestion that just won’t settle, and those weird conditions that don’t respond to quick fixes. There’s a certain satisfaction when you see immunity getting stronger, sleep deepening, pain easing without harmful meds. That’s why I like Ayurvedic care—it syncs with the body instead of pushing against it. For me health isn’t static. It shifts every day, shaped by your mind, your food, your habits, even your environment.. My role is to guide people so they’re not just “treated” but actually understand their body’s signals. In the end, I want them to walk away not depending on me forever but knowing exactly how to keep balance on their own. That’s the real win.
