Area of specialization:
I am mostly working with patients who’ve got joint pain, arthritis—like RA, osteo, gout, AVN too. Even spine stuff like spondylitis shows up a lot. I try to look at root-cause, like we were taught—each person gets a slightly diff plan, I don’t do that one-size-fits-all thing. I also get many cases for acne, eczema, hairfall (especially in 20s-30s), or even early greying. Gut issues? yeah, they’re common—hyperacidity, constipation, IBS types. Women’s health is another part—PCOS, irregular periods and hormonal shifts I see more lately. Kidney stones are also something I treat using classical herbal combos, plus food changes. My focus is more long-term—balance, detox, and slowly shifting the prakruti back to where it needs to be. Some results take time, but they feel more real when they stick.
Achievements:
I am mostly working on knee osteoarthritis these days, and yeah—lot of good outcomes with that. Some long-term skin issues too, like stubborn eczema or acne that keeps coming back, I’ve seen clear shifts there. Hairfall is another area I see regularly, esp in younger ppl. I mostly go with classical Ayurvedic meds, detox if needed, but real key is figuring why it’s happening in 1st place. Everytime I see someone improve without depending on harsh stuff, it kinda reaffirms why I do this.

I am practicing Ayurveda for over 26 yrs now and honestly, it's been more of a life path than just a job for me. Right from the start I’ve been running my own private practice, treating all age groups—kids with digestion issues, adults with stress n fatigue, elderly folks struggling with chronic pains. But somewhere along the way, women’s health kind of became my center. For the past 4 yrs, I’ve been working deeply with gynecological disorders like PCOS, hormonal problems, irregular periods, menopausal swings... and using tailored Ayurvedic treatments that focus not just on symptom control but longterm cycle balance. I also worked at Cummins Megasite in Phaltan for 3 years, as the go-to female doc. That job opened up a lot—handling wellness issues in working women, lifestyle-linked stuff, menstrual discomforts, even emotional health. I’d consult on diet, stress handling, Ayurvedic prevention… all that while making the care feel non-clinical, more natural, approachable. Another thing I’ve done a lot of is treating knee osteoarthritis. Really seen so many cases where mobility improved just with proper panchakarma + internal herbs. You know, once pain comes down and joints loosen a bit, patients actually start walking better without depending on heavy meds or even thinking about surgery—which is amazing to see. And now since last 3 yrs, I’ve added online consultations too—through Parasnath Clinic. It helps patients who’re far or can’t travel. Whether online or in-person, my way remains the same: listen carefully, understand prakriti, treat fully, and help patients trust their own body’s healing. That’s what Ayurveda taught me... and that's still what guides me each day.
