Doctor information
Experience:
17 years
Education:
Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am more into Panchakarma than anything else really—there's just something about how it resets the whole system, like clearing old patterns stuck in the body. I mostly work with chronic or lifestyle-related issues that don’t get better with surface-level stuff. My process kinda begins with figuring out prakriti and spotting what exactly's gone off with the doshas. Then based on that, I build a treatment plan—not just Panchakarma for the sake of it, but real, targeted protocols. Detox isn’t just oil and massage. There’s a whole logic behind what karma is needed and when. That’s where I put most of my clinical focus. I use herbs, internal meds, diet plans—simple ones not like crazy hard ones—and some basic daily routine stuff to get people aligned again. Most of the time, ppl are stuck in loops that look physical but they aren’t always. You dig into their lifestyle, emotions, food, even sleep, and you start seeing clearer. It’s all about matching right therapy with the right body.
Achievements:
I am honestly still kinda overwhelmed by it—being awarded Best Ayurvedic Practitioner in Mumbai wasn’t something I expected that year. Just felt like I was doing my work, showing up for patients, sticking to classical texts, yk? But I guess that consistency made a difference. The way I mix evidence-based methods with traditional Ayurvedic stuff maybe helped too... I mean I don’t just hand out herbs and hope—they're always part of a broader plan. That recognition, it just pushed me to go deeper into it all.

I am into Ayurveda for 15+ years now, and honestly, the more I work with it the more I realize how deep and layered it really is. My entire practice is built around classical principles—not shortcuts or trends. I mostly deal with chronic issues and lifestyle messes... the kind that don’t show up overnight and def don’t vanish with just a pill either. Every person who walks in, I try to read them not just the disease—they’re not just a dosha imbalance or a diagnosis—they’re like this whole mix of prakriti, habits, history, even emotional baggage sometimes. And that’s where I start. My treatment usually weaves together herbal meds, Panchakarma (only when needed), food changes, basic routines, sleep—just... life stuff that actually helps heal deeper. People come in for all sorts of stuff—joint pains that just won’t settle, irregular cycles, metabolic chaos, long-standing skin flares, stress burnouts—you name it. And I’m always like, let’s find the why behind it all. I don’t believe in quick-fix patches. That’s why I focus so much on root-cause diagnosis, and yeah, it does take time. But the goal is stable, grounded healing not just temporary relief. I also do a lot of counseling around Ritucharya and Dinacharya.. even small changes there can flip someone’s energy or digestion within days. I’ve worked in community setups too, and those spaces kinda remind you how much people need education not just medication. I try to simplify things, make Ayurveda feel doable—not this unreachable, overly spiritual thing but practical, everyday healing. Each consult for me is a new story. And a chance to listen. Not just talk. That’s what keeps me here.
