Experience: | 15 years |
Education: | Shri Gurudeo Ayurved College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working with Paanchabhautik Chikitsa these days... it’s one of those Ayurvedic methods that just makes sense to me. Like, instead of loading patients with meds, I try to keep the treatment really minimal—low doses, shorter duration, and focus on rebalancing those 5 elements: prithvi, aap, tej, vayu, and akash. When those are outta whack, the body just starts falling apart in bits, you know?
I see lots of chronic things—hyperacidity, fissures, migraines, constipation that just don’t go away, even skin flares or hormonal stuff in women. And honestly, I’ve noticed when you match therapies to their prakruti, it just works faster and smoother. One thing I do a lot is personalized ahar-vihar correction along with simple herbal support—nothing too harsh or heavy unless really needed. The idea isn’t to suppress symptoms... I try to reset the system from inside.
There’s this weird relief watching patients come back saying they didn’t need meds after a month or two. That’s when you feel the approach clicked. |
Achievements: | I am someone who honestly just cares a lot about how my patients feel... like not just “getting better” but actually feeling okay in their daily life. That’s really my main achievemnt if you ask me. Helping ppl come out of pain or chronic stuff—without overloading them with meds—is what I try for everyday. Watching even small shifts in their health makes all the late hours n second guesses totally worth it. It's messy work but i wouldnt trade it for anything else. |
I am an Ayurvedic and general physician practicing since 2013—though honestly, my learning never really stops. I started out with a deep dive into cardiac rehab at Madhavbaug in Khopoli, where I spent 2 solid years working with chronic heart patients. That experience grounded me. I mean, seeing how Ayurveda can shift something as serious as cardiac health... it just stuck with me. Right now, I’m more into Panchabhautik Chikitsa, which is kinda fascinating, actually. It’s this classical treatment system that’s centered around balancing the five elements—prithvi, aap, tej, vayu and akash. Got introduced to it through Datar Shastri's teachings and it really changed how I approach disease. Like, you’re not just treating symptoms—you’re seeing how the whole body-mind field is out of sync. I’ve seen patients with long-standing joint pains, stress, acidity, insomnia, all sort of stuff, get real relief when this model is used properly. And no, it’s not a shortcut cure. It’s steady. You got to be patient with it. I mostly do detailed evaluations first, like pulse diagnosis, prakriti-vikriti analysis and then slowly layer in the treatments. Some need Panchakarma, some need proper ahar-vihar correction... not everyone’s gonna respond the same way. I also avoid chemical meds unless absolutely necessary—Ayurveda’s toolkit is broad enough if you know how to use it right. And yeah, I still keep learning. I mean there’s no real end to it. The classics have so much depth and I try to stay close to those roots, even while using newer clinical insights.
