Experience: | 5 years |
Education: | SDM Ayurvedic Medical College |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working in Ayurvedic care for neurotic and psychiatric disorders – stuff like anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood swings that just don’t settle down easy. My approach is a mix of classical herbs, medhya rasayanas for the mind, and counseling that stays true to Ayurvedic psychology (sometimes I feel this part is even more important than the medicines). I also spend a good chunk of time with kids in my practice – using gentle, constitution-based plans for digestion troubles, odd sleep patterns, behaviour up-downs, or weak immunity. For them it’s more about balance than strong intervention, you know, making sure mind and body grow together without pushing too hard. Some cases are quick to turn, some take months, but I try to keep each plan personal – not just “one-size fits all”. At the end, whether it’s adult mental health or pediatric care, I’m aiming for holistic changes that actually last, even if the steps are small at first. |
Achievements: | I am kinda proud of a few things – like topping my university at RGUHS, which felt huge at that time though I still think about how much more there’s to learn. Got the Best Paper Presentation award in a national seminar, that one was special because it really pushed me to think deeper into my subject not just present it. Right now I’m doing my PhD, trying to dig into evidence-based Ayurveda and how it can fit with integrative healthcare.. feels like a long road but worth it. |
I am working in Ayurveda for over 8 yrs now, mostly with people dealing with neurotic, psychotic or psychiatric condtions – and honestly each case teaches me something new. My focus is on Manas Roga, the way Ayurveda explains mental health, and I try to make treatments very personal – classical herbs, Rasayana chikitsa, diet tweaks, lifestyle shifts... sometimes even small changes in routine make a big differnce. Over the years I also got really drawn to de-addiction work. I prepare customized herbal meds, using classical formulations, and combine them with detox therapies n counseling that go after both the body craving and the mind’s habit part. It’s not quick-fix work but I’ve seen slow steady recovery happen. Somewhere in between all this, I also did a course in Ayurvedic cosmetology – bit different from my main field but still connects to healing. I use prakriti-based skincare plans, herbal masks, oils, internal detox where needed, for things like acne, pigmentation, early aging or hair/scalp troubles. Whether I’m treating mental health, addiction or skin issues, I stick to root-cause care. I like to think of my clinic space as somewhere patients can speak openly, not feel rushed, and walk out with a plan that feels right for them.
