Master of Surgery in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am working in both general medicine n Ayurvedic surgery—kinda split my time between treating infections, metabolic stuff, chronic issues like fever-gut stuff... and also assisting in minor surgeries under Shalya Tantra. I like that mix, honestly. Some days it’s more internal—figuring out why digestion’s off or vata’s going haywire—other times I’m helping with Ksharasutra or post-op dressings. I usually go deep into root-cause diagnosis rather than just patch-up things fast. My treatments usually blend herbal meds, diet mods, basic lifestyle nudges—plus therapeutic procedures if needed. Even with surgery I always look at recovery and recurrence prevention, coz that’s where ppl really struggle long-term. I keep it simple, patient-wise. No flashy jargon—just real care, whatever the case is. This whole integrative route, where classical Ayurved meet clinical logic... kinda makes sense to me. Feels more complete that way.
Achievements:
I am not the kind of person who counts certificates or plaques... for me the real acheivement is watching ppl bounce back. When someone who's been stuck in pain or dealing with something for months finally finds relief with Ayurved, that hits different. Doesn’t matter if it’s joint pain, gut flareups or even sleeplessness—each recovery sort of reminds me why i chose this path. Helping them feel like themselves again, without side-effects or harsh meds, that’s the bit I care most about.

I am an Ayurvedic physician who kinda found my grounding during my BAMS at SDM Institute of Ayurveda, Bangalore—graduated 2022. That place really drilled in the classics, like proper Ayurveda-shastra, but also pushed us to actually use it in clinics, not just memorize verses. Right now I’m doing my PG in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), which is a bit intense honestly, but it’s also where I feel most focused... like I can bridge the old with the now, if that makes sense. I’ve worked across outpatient and inpatient setups for around 3 years. Assisted in surgeries. Monitored recoveries. Some days are all about bandaging and Basti, others I’m counseling families or setting up herbal meds for chronic stuff. It’s always changing. I’ve done classical therapies like Ksharasutra, Agnikarma and also worked with modern tools — not against them, with them. Feels important to say that. What really matters to me tho is patient trust. I try to explain what’s going on without sounding preachy... like, if someone comes in with a pilonidal sinus or chronic fissure, I don’t just talk meds — I explain why their lifestyle or digestion’s probably linked too. My strength (if I can call it that) lies in making Ayurvedic surgery feel less intimidating n more real-world. I’m not chasing shortcuts. Not here to sell cures. My aim’s just to help more ppl see that healing doesn’t have to mean choosing between ancient n modern. You can have both—like a Sushruta blade held in a 21st century hand. And if I can keep doing that—blending Shalya with evidence, compassion with clarity—then ya, I’d feel like I’m on the right path.
