Area of specialization:
I am mostly working around skin problems and bone-muscle stuff—eczema, acne, psoriasis that just don’t go away easy, right? They come back again-n-again, and ppl just get tired. Then joint pain, stiffness, arthritis, frozen shoulder kinda cases—things that mess with your day-to-day moving around. I don’t really believe in just patching it up for now. I try to go back to the root, like where exactly the Dosha imbalance started or if some Dhatu, esp asthayi, got off track somewhere.

Usually I mix classical herbs, food corrections (not crazy diets, just simple doable ones), and if needed, proper Panchakarma too. But I don’t do it just for the sake of “detox,” it’s more about what that body really need at that time. Some need full shodhana, some only shamana. Sometimes it’s vata pushing too hard, or pitta stuck in the skin layers... each case is it's own story.

I also care about building small routines into people’s lives—not giving them 20-step lists they won’t follow. It’s more like finding that 1 or 2 shift they’ll actually stick with. That’s the direction I keep moving in—healing that doesn’t just feel good today but holds up a year later too.
Achievements:
I am mostly dealing with ppl who tried lot of things already & still stuck in a loop—like recurring gut stuff, weird skin flareups, or that body pain that keeps shifting for no reason?? I try not to jump to "quick fixes" but instead dig into where the imbalance started. I use Panchakarma, herbs, and daily habit tweaking—not randomly, but as per prakriti, dhatu, all that. Getting to the root & actually staying there till things turn—that’s what I keep doing, again n again.

I am someone who really got to live Ayurveda during my time at Anjali Ayurveda Wellness Centre in Aluva, Kerala. That place had this kinda stillness to it—peaceful but focused—which honestly let me slow down and go deeper into actual classical practice, not just surface-level stuff. I worked there as a Consultant Ayurvedic Physician, mostly seeing lifestyle and chronic things—gut issues that never go away, stiffness in joints, skin that keeps flaring up without reason, and people stuck in constant stress loops. Felt like the usual suspects, but we didn’t just jump into treatments fast. Every case—I mean every one—started from scratch: understanding prakriti, figuring out vikriti, listening to the nadi properly (not guessing), and tracing the whole roga-marga and samprapti... until we knew the direction of treatment. Once we had that clarity, only then we'd go for Panchakarma if it actually made sense. I used to do full protocols there—Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and even Raktamokshana in few cases—but always with real intent. No “just do detox” mindset. We'd balance shodhana with shamana, and some cases needed rasayana too—body needed rebuilding, not just elimination. Something that stuck with me there was how many ppl needed guidance, not just meds. They didn’t know why their lifestyle was the problem. I spent time explaining dinacharya, ritucharya... simple ahara tips that they could actually do. Not fancy or unrealistic. And manasika swasthya? No one even heard of that half the time. But once we started addressing it—how they feel, think, behave in disease—it changed the whole approach. Honestly, working in Kerala gave me a kind of clarity. Seeing classical Ayurveda being practiced exactly how the texts say, yet still totally relevant in today's context—it shifted my way of thinking. You don’t really need to modernize Ayurveda, right? Just deliver it in a way that makes sense to people. With patience. With heart. That’s the part I carry now. Helping ppl understand their disease, feel in control again... not just hand over a list of meds. Yeah it takes time, and it’s not always perfect, but that’s where real healing starts.
