Area of specialization:
I am an Ayurvedic physcian mainly working with metabolic disorders… and honestly, I find them tricky but also kind of fascinating. My practice has me seeing obesity, type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, arthritis—sometimes all tangled together in the same person. The way I work is less about chasing symptoms and more about digging into why the imbalance started in the first place. I mix classical Ayurvedic therapies with food & lifestyle changes, but not in a “one size fit all” way… it’s always tuned to the patient’s prakruti and what they can actually manage in their life. Restoring digestion is usually step one, because without that, nothing else really sticks. From there, I look at circulation, metabolism, and helping energy come back naturally—without quick fixes that just bounce back later. My treatment plans are meant to be sustainable, safe, and actually doable, with herbal support, seasonal routines, and daily habits that slowly reset the body. And yeah, sometimes progress feels slow at first, but when the body starts working with you instead of against, that’s when real healing happen.
Achievements:
I am most proud when I see a patient actually walking out feeling lighter.. not just in body but in mind too. For me their well being isn’t some checkbox—it’s the whole point of what I do. Whether it’s through adjusting herbs, reworking diet plans or just listening when they need to talk, I keep focus on small but real improvements. Every person’s path is differrent, and watching them regain health in their own pace is kinda the biggest achievement for me.

I am a consulting Ayurvedic physician and Panchakarma specialist, practicing since 2006—feels strange to say that’s over 17 years now, time really goes quick. My work is all about using classical Ayurveda the way it was meant to be, not just symptom fixing but really looking at the root. I’ve treated a mix of acute problems and long-running chronic stuff, joint and back issues, gut troubles, skin flare ups, stress-related disorders, hormonal shifts… the list feels endless some days. Panchakarma has been a big part of my approach—Abhyanga, Basti, Virechana, Nasya, Shirodhara—each chosen based on what a patient actually need, not just a set package. And of course, I combine it with internal herbal medicines, food plan changes, and those small lifestyle tweaks that sometimes matter more than people realise. Seventeen years is enough time to see patterns… you notice how many people are living with imbalances they don’t even think of as “illness” anymore. That’s why my consults often turn into conversations about their prakruti (constitution) and how seasonal or daily routines can stop half the issues before they even start. I’ve seen a person’s health change not just because of treatment, but because they understood their own body better. My patients say I listen more than most, maybe that’s true, but it’s hard to help if you don’t hear the full story. Whether someone comes in with chronic arthritis pain, digestive imbalance, recurring skin infections or simply wanting to “feel normal again”, I keep the plan practical but still true to Ayurveda’s roots. I try to keep the balance—staying authentic to tradition while making sure it works for today’s life pace. And honestly, after so many years, I still feel the same pull… that mix of responsibility and satisfaction when someone walks in looking tired and leaves feeling lighter, calmer, healthier. That’s what keeps me here, in practice, day after day.
