Education:
Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences
Academic degree:
Master of Surgery in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am a post-graduate in Shalakya Tantra and my main focus is Ayurvedic care for eye, ear, nose, throat, and oral disorders—basically the full head-neck region, which honestly gets ignored till it starts screaming for attention. I treat stuff like chronic sinusitis, dry/red eyes, migraine, recurrent ear pain, conjunctivitis, gum issues—you name it. Most ppl think surgery or strong meds are the only way, but Ayurveda has gentle, deep-acting solutions if you catch it early enough. I work with classical therapies like Nasya, Netra Tarpana, Karnapurana and also customized herbal meds based on dosha state n symptoms. For eye fatigue or migraine from screens, even simple therapies done right can reset things fast. I don’t do one-size-fits-all care—I always assess prakriti, current season, patient routine etc. before deciding what’ll actually work. Sometimes relief comes from simple nose clearing. Sometimes from detox. My goal? Restore function, not just mask pain. And do it without harsh invasions.
Achievements:
I am someone who’s always felt drawn to the research side of Ayurveda—not just for the theory but for how it shapes what we actually do in clinic. I’ve presented multiple papers in journals and at conferences, covering topics that needed better clarity or practical updates. During my PG, I also worked on a full dissertation, which pushed me to dig deeper into evidence-based Ayurvedic concepts. That mix of research and clinical work keeps me grounded & constantly learning... even when it gets a bit hectic!!

I am an Ayurvedic Consultant and Surgeon with a post-grad in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I work at the intersection of classical Ayurvedic wisdom and surgical precision—when needed. I’m fully trained to perform surgeries, yeah, but I honestly believe surgery should always be the last thing, not the first reflex. If we can help someone heal without a knife, then why not go that route first? In my practice I handle a mix of surgical and non-surgical conditions—fistula, piles, fissure, abscesses, pilonidal sinus, and chronic joint-muscle issues too. I’ve seen how much damage gets done when things are rushed to OT without even checking if Ayurved can fix it gently. I work a lot with Kshar Sutra therapy—it’s this brilliant, time-tested Ayurvedic method that helps manage ano-rectal problems without cutting everything open. Less pain, lower recurrence, and more respect for the body’s own healing pace. Diagnosis is a huge part of what I do. I rely a lot on direct observation, history taking, touch cues, dosha assessment, and yeah—sometimes blending in modern diagnostics to double-check what we’re seeing. I don’t push therapy unless I know why I’m giving it. Herbal meds, Panchakarma detox, wound care, diet corrections—they’re not given just for the sake of it. I build a full plan around the patient’s condition and prakriti. And when a case actually does need surgery—like when there’s a tough abscess or a non-responding fistula—I do it with care, and a lot of post-op support. Clean surgical technique, minimal trauma, and recovery that’s aided by internal Ayurvedic meds for faster tissue repair, less infection risk, and better overall energy post-recovery. I believe in giving each person honest, clear info about their condition. No fluff. Just facts, options, risks, recovery—told upfront. I don’t believe in scaring ppl into treatment. My aim is simple: use Ayurveda to heal when we can, use surgery only when we must... and always build trust before we build a treatment plan.
