Education: | BAMS |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am focused mainly on chronic health problems that just don’t seem to go away—thyroid, diabetes, high BP, joint issues like RA and even hormonal & period-related problems that can really affect daily life. My ayurvedic approach isn’t just about “symptom control” or giving some herb n hoping it helps, I look into what’s off balance inside—dosha-wise, agni, maybe toxins building up from years. Every person’s story is different... that’s why I don’t believe in one-size-fit plan.
I mix classical ayurveda (like real texts, not random trends), with daily things that work—herbal meds, panchakarma if it fits, some diet changes here n there, and honestly just understanding what the patient is going thru. The idea is simple: try to get rid of root cause and avoid making them depend on medicine forever. Healing takes time, but when it’s done right—it stays. I like seeing that long-term shift in ppl.. when they say they feel "normal" again even after years. |
Achievements: | I am proud of being awarded the Best Outgoing Postgraduate in Medical Pharmacology from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal—it really meant alot after years of study. Writing kinda came natural to me later... now there’s 25+ textbooks I’ve authord, one of them even published for readers in UK which felt surreal honestly. Alongside that, had several reserch papers published too—some were super technical, others more clinical, but all were deeply connected to patient outcomes and drug safety. |
I am an Ayurvedic doc who kinda got deep into treating lifestyle issues before it was all over social media—like way before the buzzwords. I’ve worked on cases like thyroid probs (mostly hypothyroid but some hyper too), diabetes (type 2 mostly, few borderline cases that we reversed), rheumatoid arthritis, BP that's not always responding to meds, and all kinds of menstrual ups and downs—from PCOS to irregular cycles. And yeah, the goal isn’t really just managing numbers or reports, right? I try to go under the surface, figure out what’s triggering it all—digestion, stress, sleep issues—and treat that instead of patching the symptoms. Most of the time, I work out a custom plan that fits the person. Like—not just “take this herb twice a day,” but okay, let’s look at how you eat, sleep, breathe, think. I use a mix of classical ayurvedic meds, panchakarma where needed (not everyone need detox btw), food fixes, some lifestyle hacks that are practical. And no, it’s not magic. It’s slow sometimes but real, like when you see someone slowly come off lifelong meds after years... that’s kinda what keeps me going. I also focus a lot on educating people—like not just giving them a list of do’s & donts but helping them actually get why their body reacting a certain way. And yeah that helps them stick to it better. I try to build long-term stuff, not quick fixes. Most ppl come thinking ayurveda is just powders, but once they see it’s about syncing with their prakriti n doshas, they’re like oh okay this makes sense. What I try to offer is honest, full-picture care. You show up with a chronic problem—I’ll listen, I’ll explain, and then we’ll walk the fix together. Might sound simple but not many docs got time or patience for that anymore.
