Doctor information
Experience:
7 years
Education:
Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with patients who have pain disorders, stress-driven health issues, and those stubborn hormonal problems like thyroid imbalance that just don’t seem to go away with regular meds. My clinic days are filled with cases of acne, pigmentation, hair fall—things people think are “skin deep” but actually have much deeper causes. I also spend a lot of time helping women with irregular periods, fertility concerns, and guiding them through healthy pre & postnatal phases. I use classical Ayurveda—herbal medicines, Panchakarma, diet—blended with lifestyle tweaks that actually fit into their daily routine (even if they don’t love the changes at first). I like to look at each person’s prakriti & current imbalance before even thinking of treatment, because what works for one may totally fail for another. My aim is always long-term balance, not quick relief that fades away after a month, and that’s what keeps my work both challenging and kinda satisfying at the same time.
Achievements:
I am grateful that during my Master’s I recieved a Gold Medal for academic excellence—honestly it was a mix of long nights, strong chai, and a real love for Ayurveda’s depth. Later, my research paper got the Research Ratna Award, which felt like proof that classical knowledge can stand strong even in modern scientific discussions. These moments push me to keep blending traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with evidence-based methods for better patient care, even when the work get tough.

I am an Ayurvedic physician with a little over 8 years in clinical practice, moving between treating chronic health cases and those tricky lifestyle-related issues that somehow never stay “simple.” My main work is with pain management, stress and anxiety-related problems, skin & hair troubles, thyroid issues, menstrual disorders, infertility, and pre or postnatal care. Honestly, no two cases are the same, even if they sound similar on paper. I look at both the prakriti and vikriti—your natural constitution and your current imbalance—before deciding where to even start. In my clinic, I see everything from joint pain that flares up with weather changes, to migraines that refuse to respond to regular meds, to hormonal acne or sudden hair fall after stress. Menstrual irregularities, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction—they often overlap more than people think. My approach is not just herbs and tablets; it’s Panchakarma detox, diet changes, daily routine tweaks, counseling, and rejuvenation therapies that actually fit into real life (well… with some effort). Women’s health has a big space in my work. Helping with fertility, balancing cycles, supporting healthy pregnancy, guiding postpartum recovery—these are not just treatments, they’re journeys I take with patients. Many times, the smallest correction early on can prevent years of struggle later. And when we get to a healthy conception after months of planning, that’s a different kind of reward. I also pay attention to mental health because stress is like this silent trigger hiding under so many disorders. Shirodhara, Nasya, Rasayana—these are not just “relaxing,” they can shift the whole way your body responds to life. My role is part doctor, part guide, making sure patients understand *why* we’re doing each step, not just following it blindly. Ayurveda isn’t magic but it’s powerful when done right. My goal is to make it practical, accessible, and yes, sustainable even in today’s rushed pace. I keep learning, updating, adjusting—because every person walking in is a new lesson waiting to happen.
