Area of specialization:
I am working with a wide range of chronic and lifestyle-linked issues, but my main focus is on skin problems—dermatitis, psoriasis, allergic rashes—where I don’t just stop at clearing what’s visible but dig into the root cause that keeps it coming back. I also handle gynaecological cases like PCOS, painful or irregular cycles, infertility, fibroids, and heavy bleeding, using therapies grounded in classical Ayurveda but adjusted to suit each patient’s life. Gastric issues are another big part of my practice—chronic gastritis, acid reflux, ulcers, and inflammatory gut problems—where restoring agni (digestive fire) and balance is key. I also treat ano-rectal conditions like piles, fissure, and fistula with minimally invasive Ayurvedic methods that ease discomfort and prevent recurrence. Every plan is personalised, because I’ve seen the best results happen when treatment fits the person, not just the diagnosis, and my aim is to make that healing both lasting and practical.
Achievements:
I am glad I got to present my research paper “Triphala Kshalanam in Diabetic Wound Management” at the AVP National Conference—it was one of those moments where clinical work and academic interest came together. The paper looked at how Triphala, used in a localized way, can support healing in diabetic wounds, something I’ve seen value in during practice. Sharing those insights with other professionals opened up good discussions on integrative wound care in Ayurvedic dermatology and chronic care.

I am an Ayurvedic consultant with a little over two years of focused clinical work, spending most of that time listening to patients, figuring out what’s actually going on under the surface, and then shaping treatments that aren’t just for the next few weeks but for the long haul. My practice sticks to classical Ayurvedic principles, but I also keep in mind how people live now—work stress, irregular meals, late nights—because ignoring that is just asking for the problem to return. I’ve worked in both OP and IP setups, which means I’ve seen the full range, from quick consults to long-term inpatient care where every detail of the protocol matters. I work a lot with chronic and lifestyle-linked conditions—OA, RA, diabetes, gastric disorders, gynaecological problems, skin issues, pain cases, and ano-rectal concerns like fissures and piles. Each patient gets a plan that’s their own, using herbal medicines, Panchakarma procedures, diet shifts, and lifestyle changes that they can actually manage. Sometimes that’s the hardest part—making it realistic enough so they’ll follow through. For me, patient care isn’t just about treating a list of symptoms, it’s about trust. I like to give time in consultations, because that’s often when the small but important details come out. Chronic illness, acute flare-ups—it doesn’t matter, my goal is to guide them through each step, so they feel supported and informed. I rely on a careful approach to diagnosis—nadi, tongue, history, lifestyle—and match that with a plan rooted in both classical texts and practical, modern sensibility. Every treatment I give is built to fit the person’s constitution, condition, and goals, which is how I make sure it’s not only effective but sustainable. For me, Ayurveda works best when it’s personal, precise, and lived every day, not just taken as medicine for a short while.
