Area of specialization:
I am into gut healing n pain care mostly, that’s where my focus kinda stays. I work with digestive problems like gas, acidity, weird bloating, constipation or IBS where ppl don’t even knw what triggers it. A lot of this starts with weak Agni n undigested stuff we call Ama... clearing that helps more than ppl think. Most times I start by seeing food habits, sleep n all that—coz fixing digestion without lifestyle change is just temporary.

On the other side, I also manage chronic musculoskeletal pain—like low back stiffness, joint aches, frozen shoulder types, and general muscle fatigue. For that I go with classical stuff like Abhyanga, Swedana or sometimes mild Basti if it suits the condition. Also herbal combos are used for longterm support but I don’t go overboard... less is more in these cases.

Every case I look into the cause, not just “what’s hurting” or what’s irregular in stomach... it’s why it got there in first place. Diet regualtion, detox when required, seasonal tweaks n routine balance—these always stay part of my plan. It’s more about long relief, not quick patch work. Sometimes ppl come in tired of trying everything n I tell them, give your body time, it knows how to fix itself, we just help it remember.
Achievements:
I am honestly still kinda proud of this—secured 3rd rank in my final yr BAMS which felt huge back then. But what mattered more to me was topping in Shalakya Tantra… that subject just clicked. Eye and ENT cases had always seemed complex n fascinating, and that exam made it clearer this is where my real interest lies. That academic grounding in Ayurvedic ophthalmology gave me confidence when I first started seeing tricky netra & karna complaints. Still learning but that part? it stuck.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a BAMS background and honestly, from day one I knew this isn’t just medicine—it’s like a full framework for living. My work mostly revolves around treating lifestyle issues and chronic disorders that ppl usually come with after trying everything else n still not feeling better. What I really focus on is understanding the person first—their Prakriti, current doshic state, emotional triggers... all of that matters. I use stuff like Nadi Pariksha, detailed history taking, even how they eat-sleep-move... to get a whole picture. I mostly see cases like acidity, IBS, hormonal stuff, PCOD, period problems, joint stiffness, allergies, pigmentation, sleep issues, stress burnout... it varies. And yeah, things overlap, like someone with migraines might also be constipated or anxious—Ayurveda makes u look at that link. My approach leans heavily on internal medicine but also on guidance... like food, seasonal care, daily routines. Dinacharya and Ritucharya aren't just concepts for me—they’re tools I keep going back to. Also I do use Panchakarma when it’s really needed but only after proper pre-assessment. One thing I make sure in practice is not rushing—giving the patient space to talk, to explain their discomfort, even if it’s messy or unrelated. That’s how real clues show up, tbh. I do a mix of counseling, stress relief tips, Rasayanas when apt, and mostly use classical formulations unless I feel some local option is better suited. Whether its someone who’s sick or just tired or confused about what their body is telling them—I try helping them reconnect with it. Not just fix the symptom and send off. My goal really is clarity and balance, both for me and for whoever walks into the clinic. Healing happens when the person feels safe, seen and also guided. That’s what I keep learning every day.
