Academic degree:
Master of Surgery in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mostly into Ayurvedic surgical n para-surgical stuff—things like Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma and Jalaukavacharana (that’s leech therapy, yeah, and no it’s not scary if done right). I stick close to the classical texts when doing these, coz shortcuts honestly mess up more than they help. Most of my work’s around anorectal disorders, joint & muscle pain, skin issues, and those weird chronic conditions that don’t respond much to general meds. I mix internal herbs + Panchakarma both before and after the procedure, depending on the case. Helps with faster healing and reduces relapse too. Each patient needs a diff plan—some need Shamana only, some need full Shodhana before we go in. Diagnosis isn’t just symptom-based... I check for doshic load, sthanik dushti, strength, healing potential—all that. I also coordinate with allopathy folks whenever required. If labs or imaging can add clarity, I use it. Not trying to isolate Ayurveda—I want the treatment to work, that’s all. My goal’s simple: proper diagnosis, clean procedures, and care that lasts even after the therapy ends.
Achievements:
I am actively into research and academics, and over the yrs I’ve presented quite a few papers n posters at national and international conferences. Some of my work got published too in peer-reviewed journals—which kinda felt validating, not just for me but for Ayurveda as a system. I also took part in global seminars n discussions where we shared ideas, debated protocols, or just learned newer angles on old topics. All of that really sharpened how I see clinical stuff in day-to-day practice.

I am someone who’s worked closely on managing anorectal disorders through Ayurvedic care that’s both non-invasive and actually doable for the patient long term. Most of my focus is around things like fistula-in-ano, piles, fissures, pilonidal sinus and other lowkey ignored rectal issues that usually just get pushed toward surgery too quick. I use Kshar Sutra therapy a lot—it’s a para-surgical procedure, yes, but it’s minimally invasive & works wonders when done right. Patients see clear results with less recurrence, and honestly that’s what we aim for. My approach is kind of simple—I don’t jump to cutting or intense stuff. I start with cleaning the system out, correcting Agni, addressing lifestyle issues, and then layer treatment with internal meds and Kshara-based interventions. Most ppl don’t realize these conditions often start way before symptoms do... poor gut habits, untreated constipation, stress, whatever—there’s usually a backstory. I also treat chronic wounds. Like those stubborn, non-healing types that hang around forever and no one knows what to do with. Ayurved has solid answers for that if we’re patient. I combine wound-care with herbal lepas, detox plans, rasayana, and bandhan techniques depending on the depth and origin of the wound. Some come from infection, some from poor circulation or even dosha overload—it all needs decoding. What I care about most is that the patient understands what we’re treating and why. I don’t just give a name and a cream—I explain it, show them the timeline, the logic behind each chikitsa step. Most people actually want to know, they just never get told. For those trying to avoid unnecessary surgery or recurring meds with side effects, I offer alternatives grounded in evidence-based Ayurvedic logic. My goal’s always been to go to the root and get long-term results—not just short relief. I try to keep things honest, clean, and dosha-aligned. Every patient’s journey looks a bit different, and I build around that, not the textbook.
