Area of specialization: | I am an Ayurvedic Surgeon working mainly in Shalyatantra, which basically means I deal with surgical and para-surgical conditions but in the classical Ayurveda way. Most days I’m handling anorectal disorders—piles, fistula-in-ano, fissure, pilonidal sinus—where Ksharasutra therapy is my go-to. It’s slow compared to modern surgery maybe, but it works deep and lasts. I also use Agnikarma for thermal cauterization, Jalaukavacharana for cases where leech therapy makes sense, and Ksharakarma for stubborn skin or chronic pain conditions. My work also stretches into managing non-healing wounds, some tricky urological issues, and making sure pre- and post-op care stays rooted in Ayurveda. I like the whole idea that treatment isn’t just “do the procedure and done”—it’s also about guiding the patient with herbs, diet, wound care, and lifestyle shifts that keep the problem from creeping back. Some cases take time, some surprise you with quick recovery, but every one of them needs that mix of precision and patience. |
Achievements: | I am someone who like’s to keep learning and sharing too.. over the years I presented quite a few scientific papers, some in national events others in international seminars where the crowd and the questions push you to think deeper. A bunch of my work also made it to peer reviewed journals – all about evidence-based Ayurveda, case studies, practical clinical stuff. Writing them was not always easy, sometimes the editing felt endless, but it really sharpen my research skill and kind of fixed my focus on contributing something solid to the field. |
I am working right now as an Ayurvedic Surgeon at Sri Kalabhairaveshwara Swamy Ayurvedic Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, from June 2022 up to 2025, and honestly it’s been a mix of steady learning and a lot of hands-on work. My day usually moves between diagnosing cases, doing procedures, and then explaining to patients why certain classical methods still make sense today. I mainly deal with surgical and para-surgical conditions but I stick to the classical Ayurvedic approach—it’s slower sometimes, but the results are worth it. I do procedures like Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and Jalaukavacharana, each with their own place in treatment. They may look simple but they demand precision, and in the right cases they manage chronic issues without the heaviness of major surgery. I see a lot of anorectal disorders—fistula-in-ano, pilonidal sinus, piles—and these aren’t just painful, they can really mess up daily life. I don’t just cut and leave; post-procedure I focus on herbal meds, diet changes, wound care, small lifestyle tweaks… things that actually keep the problem from coming back. Sometimes patients are surprised when I talk about constitution-based healing after surgery, but that’s the point—Ayurveda doesn’t end at the operating table. It’s about long term recovery, not just symptom control. I make sure each treatment plan is tuned to the person’s prakriti and the exact stage of their condition, even if it means explaining the same thing three times in diff ways. In my mind, preserving traditional Ayurvedic surgical practices doesn’t mean ignoring modern needs. It’s more about adapting without losing the core. That balance—between the old texts and today’s healthcare expectations—is what I try to hold every single day. And yes, sometimes it’s not perfect, but it’s real, and it works.
