Area of specialization:
I am mainly working with people who have stomach and digestion problems, infertility issues, and skin troubles that just don’t go away easy. A lot of my day goes into helping with acidity, IBS, indigestion, bloating – things that sound common but can really mess up someone’s routine if not handled right. I like using proper Ayurvedic protocols, not just random remedies, and making sure the diet and lifestyle part is not ignored (sometimes that’s harder for patients than taking medicine). With infertility cases, I try to focus on the whole picture – reproductive health, hormonal balance, stress factors – herbal meds, food changes, and small habit shifts usually go together here. For skin, whether its acne, eczema or pigmentation, I work on both internal healing and topical support, coz in Ayurveda we don’t just treat what’s showing outside. Every plan is a bit different since each patient’s prakriti and imbalance is unique, and I try to make it practical enough so they can follow without feeling overwhelmed.
Achievements:
I am kinda proud that I got to be part of many national & even some international seminars on Ayurveda.. not just to sit & listen but really engage with the talks about practical use of Ayurvedic principles today. These sessions helped me sharpen my clinical thinking, understand the roots of old therapies better and also keep up with new research stuff. I keep mixing what I learn there into daily patient care – feels good when theory actually works in the real cases.

I am right now working as a Resident Medical Officer at Uttranchal Hospital and Diagnostic Centre, Dehradun. Been here about 3 months now and still every day feels a bit different.. sometimes hectic, sometimes calm. My BAMS is from Patanjali Ayurved College & Hospital where I also did my internship – that time gave me a solid base in classical Ayurvedic protocols and real patient care (not just in books). After that I did another 6-month stint at Civil Hospital, Roorkee, which honestly was like a crash course in managing a big variety of conditions, from the very routine to cases that really make you stop and think. Those early days taught me that accuracy in diagnosis isn’t just about knowing theory – it’s about listening carefully, picking up the small signs, and not rushing into assumptions. In every role, I keep leaning on Ayurveda’s depth but also adapt to what’s practical for the patient sitting in front of me. That might mean herbal formulations, diet planning, lifestyle tweaks or even just explaining things in a way they can follow at home without feeling overwhelmed. I pay close attention to communication – because sometimes patients leave with half their doubts unanswered, and that’s not okay for me. Whether in OPD or during ward rounds, I try to keep a balance of science and sensitivity, making sure treatments are evidence-based but also personalised to the patient’s prakriti and current needs. My aim hasn’t really changed from the start – keep learning, keep improving, and stay rooted in ethical practice while actually helping people get better, not just temporarily but in a way that lasts.
