Area of specialization:
I am someone who mostly works around gyne issues, chronic pain, and skin stuff—Ayurvedic angle, of course. My day-to-day practice mostly circles around treating menstrual irregularity, PCOD kinda stuff, white discharge probs, even menopause-related swings. I try to not generalize things, cuz everyone’s body acts so different right. Like one woman’s cramps are another’s fatigue or mood dips. I usually start with basic dosha balance check and then go for herbs or Rasayanas depending how deep the imbalance is. Skin cases, yeah I see lot of those too—acne, pigmentation that doesn’t go, itching, or even eczema types. I go for a mix of shodhana and shamana, means—internal detox, local lepas, and few long term gut-stabilizing herbs. Diet changes are honestly half the work there but getting ppl to stick is tricky lol. Pain management is a whole other story—I use Abhyanga with medicated oils, sometimes followed by Swedana or even bastis, specially for joint or muscular stiffness. Nerve pains, like sciatica or neck-shoulder strain, often need deeper work and panchkarma. Basically I look for root imbalance always and try to treat in layers—not just stop the symptom and move on. Keeps healing more real that way.
Achievements:
I am trained in Rasa Shastra—did my MD in it, which means I basically spent years working w/ metals, minerals & how they behave in Ayurvedic medicines. Honestly it’s kinda intense… like you gotta get the shuddhi right, proportions right, timing, all that. I work a lot with herbo-mineral preps for chronic and stubborn conditions that don’t always respond to basic herbal stuff. Feels nice when ppl get relief where nothing else had workd. Precision + tradition, that’s the zone I stay in mostly.

I am a general Ayurvedic physician who just really believes in keeping it authentic...like real classical Ayurveda, not some watered down shortcut kinda stuff. My whole approach is basically centered around the person, not just the “disease” label. I look at why something’s happening. The root imbalance. Always. That’s where the answers usually are, even when they’re messy or hidden. I use the person’s Prakriti and Vikriti as a baseline—every plan I make starts there and builds from it. I handle all kinds of everyday things—like people coming in with diabetes, BP issues, weight gain, joint pain, skin breakouts, gas/acidity, menstrual probs or even just tiredness they can’t explain. And honestly? It all connects. I rely a lot on traditional tools like Nadi Pariksha, Rogi-Roga Pariksha (sounds fancy but it’s basically listening deeply to both body and story), and digging into lifestyle patterns that often get missed in fast consults. Sometimes it's in the small details like sleep, snacking, or emotional overload—Ayurveda actually covers all of that. I lean on herbal meds, classical formulas, and detox methods like Panchakarma (not just for diseases but even when someone feels off but can’t say why). I also use Rasayana therapies for chronic fatigue or just to rebuild. Food and dinacharya matter a lot to me—I mean, if your digestion and routine are chaotic, no meds will last long. And yes, Satvavajaya chikitsa too. Mental & emotional hygiene is half the game, especially today where stress kinda sneaks in and sits quiet. I keep learning, questioning, refining. Ayurveda isn’t static—there’s always more depth. My goal isn’t to make patients “dependent” on treatment but actually help them know their bodies better and feel in control of their health again. That’s what long-term wellness looks like to me—sustainable, individual, deeply rooted care that doesn't just mask symptoms but gives back quality of life.
