Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with ppl dealing with lifestyle messes n allergic flareups—like diabetes, BP, weight gain that just won't shift, rashes from “who-knows-what”, sinus issues that drag on, or folks who feel wired but tired all the time. I try to not just treat that one symptom. I look into their whole pattern—their prakriti, food habits, stress loop, dosha status n even their sleep cycle (or lack of it). My plans usually mix herbal meds (not off-the-shelf stuff), plus Panchakarma detox if it fits their condition—and also just plain, clear talk about what needs to change in their daily routine. That part’s hard sometimes, but kind of non-negotiable if you really want balance back. Skin sensitivity, hormonal shifts, chronic stress… I see these things rising every month. It's not always about disease names, it’s about longterm wear n tear. I try to work from the roots up—not patch things up for 10 days n call it a cure.
Achievements:
I am working as a healthy counsellor (Ayurveda) with special focus on Manas Rogas—ya know, the stuff like anxiety, overthinking, mood crashes that sneak up and wreck daily balance. I deal with people who don’t always look “sick” but feel heavy inside, like their mind’s in a loop. I use Ayurvedic principles, bit of satvavajaya chikitsa, n a lot of listening. Some days its more about letting them talk. Healing's slow sometimes but that’s alright, it gotta feel real.

I am someone who got a solid start during my internship days, which I did across two places—Govt District Hospital in Haridwar & the Ayurvedic PHC at Jollygrant, Rishikesh. Both kinda shaped how I see clinical work now. At Haridwar hosp I got to work closely in both OPD n IPD setups. Lot of exposure to everything—like acute fevers, respiratory flareups, diabetes cases, piles, even emergencies sometimes. That was intense but also gave me real-time grip on case taking, quick decision-making, and staying grounded while following Ayurvedic logic. In contrast, the Jollygrant PHC was way more rooted—small setup, but deeply connected with the community. That’s where I learnt to value the real strength of Ayurveda in primary care. From making herbal preps by hand, doing daily abhyangas, helping with bastis, to teaching women about prenatal care in local camps—it was kinda all in one. Also got involved in panchakarma sessions and seasonal preventive routines for patients, which not only helped with recovery but boosted their trust in Ayurveda as a first line of care. Both places had totally different rhythm. One gave me scale, other gave me depth. I guess what stuck with me was how classical Ayurveda could still be applied so practically—no fancy setups, just understanding the doshas right, balancing properly, and listening. These internships weren’t just about getting credit—they really laid the foundation of my clinical lens today. Whether it’s chronic pain or digestive issues or someone just burnt out—I still think back to those days when I’m building treatment plans now. And I try to keep it as human n honest as those settings were. That’s still the baseline for how I work.
