Area of specialization:
I am done with my BAMS and now in middle of MD in Ayurveda. This phase of learning has kinda opened up whole new layers in classical texts—things that once felt cryptic are starting to click now. I’m really drawn to how Ayurveda don’t just “treat” symptoms but actually looks at life patterns, lifestyle, diet, emotions all together. That idea of root-cause based healing? it stuck with me. Right now I’m focusing a lot on how traditional principles can actually solve today’s health struggles—gut issues, sleep stuff, chronic fatigue, skin flares...not always dramatic, but they’re the things ppl live with everyday and feel stuck in. I like the challenge of mapping classical theory to real modern lives. What I try to bring is that balance—where evidence and old wisdom meet. I don’t rush. Even in a busy clinic space I make room to listen, feel the pattern, understand the dosha shifts. Each patient’s story guides the plan. That’s the only way it works. Sustainable, tailored, and rooted in Ayurved—not shortcuts or hype.
Achievements:
I am done with my BAMS and now in the middle of MD Ayurveda—honestly, the depth of this path kind of surprises me every time i get into those grantha chapters. Studying at this level pushed me harder, not just academically but in clinic too...like, I actually see how those shloka-s make sense in diagnosis now. This phase feels like it’s shaping the backbone of how I wanna practice—more thoughtful, more aligned to what classical Ayurveda really meant.

I am a practicing Ayurvedic physican with around two yrs of clinical exp. and honestly, every single day i’m reminded why i chose this path. I work mostly with people dealing with lifestyle mess—digestion probs, menstrual upsets, stiff joints, anxiety or just feeling kinda “off” but not sure why. My thing is to figure out what’s really going on underneath, not just slap a remedy on top and call it done. Ayurveda taught me that you treat the root, not chase symptoms. My focus is always individualised—like no cookie cutter plans. I use prakriti-dosha checks and classical Ashtavidha Pariksha to build personalized strategies. Mostly involving herbs, diet tweaks, and yeah, a lotta convos about how we live daily—routine, sleep, emotional junk, even the smallest habits. Even in “small” conditions, there's always some bigger imbalance behind it. And when you spot that, that’s where healing actually starts. I’ve kinda grown into this preventive mindset too, like how can I stop things from getting worse for people who're “okay” but not well. We don’t always have to wait till someone's unwell to fix stuff, right? That part of Ayurveda hits diff—the idea that staying healthy is a practice not just a lucky state. My fav part? It’s hearing patients say they feel “seen.” Not just medically but like, heard fully. That’s the atmosphere I try to create—open, calm, no pressure. Just real work on real issues. I do keep studying too—clinical observations, reading the classics, learning from elders...you never really finish learning in Ayurveda, which is sorta comforting honestly. I’m not perfect with it all, still figuring pieces out. But what I can promise is effort, honesty, and a grounded approach that isn’t about magic—it’s about method. I trust the tools of Ayurveda 'cause they work, slow maybe, but deep. That’s the kinda care I aim for every single time.
