Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science & Research |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working on skin disorders, arthritis, and respiratory problems like asthma or that lingering chronic bronchitis that just doesn’t go away easy. I like using proper classical Ayurvedic therapies for these, not just to calm symptoms but to dig into the root cause and fix from there. Also end up treating a lot of digestive issues… IBS, acidity, bloating, those kind of things that keep coming back if you don’t handle them right. For mental health side, I see patients with anxiety and insomnia, and even hair fall cases—since stress and diet mess with everything. Lifestyle disorders are another big part of my work—diabetes, thyroid ups and downs, high BP, obesity—each needing a plan that’s built around the person’s prakriti, not just general advice. Every treatment I do is personalised, sometimes slow, but always meant to be sustainable and safe... not just a quick patch up. |
Achievements: | I am really proud that in 2021 I got university rank, which kinda felt like all those long nights of study finally made sense. During my BAMS I also got to be part of a RGUHS funded short-term research thing… it really push me to see Ayurveda in a more evidence-based way, not just theory from books. And yeah, in my clinic I try to give each patient care that’s not copy-paste—like really listening and then making a plan that fits only them, and it works, mostly pretty well! |
I am an Ayurvedic physician from Bangalore, Karnataka, kinda obsessed with keeping Ayurveda in its real, authentic form and not letting it get diluted in all the noise. I finished my BAMS in 2022 from Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research, Bangalore, and right now I’m in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna Vignana there itself. Dravyaguna is like the heart of Ayurveda for me—understanding herbs inside out, their rasa, guna, virya, vipaka and all, so when I choose a formulation for someone it’s not just random.. it’s actually precise for their Prakriti and condition. At present, I’m working as Chief Consultant at Kottakkal Ayurveda, Bangalore. Day-to-day I deal with everything from fungal skin issues like tinea corporis, digestive troubles like IBS, and lifestyle disorders—type 2 diabetes, thyroid imbalance, hypertension, obesity—you name it. Also get quite a few cases of anxiety, insomnia, asthma-type breathing issues. Treatments are never copy-paste; I use classical Ayurvedic medicines, detox therapies, diet tweaking, sometimes even small lifestyle hacks to make it sustainable. I usually start with a good case-taking—really knowing the patient’s constitution, pathology (samprapti), and their daily patterns. Without that, I feel treatment is like shooting arrows in the dark. Panchakarma is a big part too when needed, but I’m careful… it’s not for everyone, every time. What keeps me going is when patients actually understand what’s happening with their body and feel in control again. I try to bring together the old-school Ayurvedic wisdom with how people live now—like making herbal prescriptions doable in busy lives without losing the effect. My goal is not just to ‘treat’ but to make people aware about prevention and seasonal routines, how food, sleep, stress all play into health. Still learning every day, still refining. Ayurveda is deep and it’s humbling—every patient is different, and that’s what keeps the work alive for me.
