Dr. Kunarapu Karthik
Experience: | |
Education: | Dr BRKR Government Ayurvedic Medical College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working on disc problems like slip disc or L4-L5 issues, neck stiffness and knee pain that just doesn’t go with painkillers. I also deal with things like acidity, piles, fissure, and that stubborn fistula—yeah, the one that keeps recurring. A big part of my work is skin too—hair fall, urticaria, even psoriasis. These things need time, but with the right ahara-vihara and herbal support, results really hold.
Migraine cases are tricky, but I’ve managed quite a few with panchakarma & nasya. I also help women with PCOD, irregular periods—anything with hormonal mess really. Every case is different, I try not to generalise coz what works for one won’t work for another. I go deep into prakriti, lifestyle history, diet triggers etc, before putting together the plan.
Panchakarma plays a major role in many of these. But again, only if body’s ready for it. There’s no copy-paste here, it’s all tailored. Sustainable healing needs patient effort too, not just mine. |
Achievements: | I am mostly just focused on one thing tbh—patients well being, like genuinely. Not just fixing the disease and moving on kinda thing, but actually making sure they feel better overall. I try to understand where they're actually struggling, not just what the lab reports says. I use what I kno from Ayurveda—like dosha checks, diet shifts, sometimes panchakarma too, if needed. It’s not flashy work, but watching ppl get their health back slowly... that feels like the real win. |
I am currently working as a Junior Doctor at Dr. BRKR Government Ayurvedic Medical College and yeah—there's a lot going on everyday. My main role is kinda a mix of assisting in clinical care, doing rounds, handling patient case-sheets, and also sometimes jumping into teaching support stuff when needed. I get to shadow some really senior physicians, which honestly helps me see how theory from texts like Ashtanga Hridayam actually looks in real-life settings. A good part of my day is spent observing and helping with diagnosis—using classical methods like prakriti-vikriti pariksha, nadi, and dashavidha pariksha. I’ve worked closely on cases involving general medicine, lifestyle disorders, and chronic complaints that require more than just symptomatic relief. The best part? Watching how Ayurvedic logic unfolds during case-taking. Sometimes small details lead to huge insights—like a mild symptom pointing to deeper agni issues or dhatu dusti that's been ignored for long. I also assist with Panchakarma procedures almost daily, especially in Basti, Virechana, and Nasya therapies. There’s something kinda grounding about seeing how a proper snehapana schedule or just one good basti can shift how someone feels—not overnight, but gradually. That slow change really stays with you. On the preventive end, I keep trying to share basics with patients—like how messed-up dinacharya or totally skipped ritucharya can snowball into bigger disorders. I guide them through easy food changes or routines they can actually stick to. Not all are interested right away, but those who follow through—usually come back with improvements. That feedback means a lot honestly. Working in a teaching hospital has made me stay alert too—there’s always seminars, case discussions, or students throwing unexpected questions. I’m learning to balance textbook learning with real-time decision making. Still figuring stuff out of course, but I try to keep my approach practical, grounded, and aligned with what the patient really needs—not just what looks good on paper. Feels like I'm slowly building a rhythm—between diagnosis, therapy, education and patient care.
