Area of specialization: | I am mostly into treating liver issues with Ayurveda—like really going deep into how the liver talks to the rest of the system, you kno? I work a lot with fatty liver, early-stage cirrhosis, hepatitis, sluggish digestion due to liver heat... that kind of stuff. My treatment’s built around classic Ayurvedic texts, but not just copied blindly. I usually mix panchakarma like virechana or mild basti (if needed), with Agni-balancing herbs n a very liver-conscious diet.
What I try to focus on is cleaning the liver without stressing it more, cause that's what usually happens with over-medicating. We detox slow, restore Agni, and build up metabolism from inside. Most ppl with liver stuff also have some kinda digestion or mood swing pattern, so I always check for that. My goal’s not just “liver looking fine” on tests—it’s making sure it don’t get bad again. Rebuilding strength, not just killing symptoms, is where I try to keep ppl focused. |
Achievements: | I am kinda proud to say I got to present a bunch of my clinical cases—real ones, not theory—at both national and international Ayurveda meets. Not every case gets noticed, but few of mine stood out bcoz they were practical, worked, and backed by results. Sharing that infront of peers and senior docs was nerve-wracking but also exciting. I’m still not great with public speaking lol, but pushing myself to talk abt how classical treatments can actually solve modern issues? worth it every time. |
I am a Panchbhautik Chikitsak and honestly that’s not just a title for me—it’s kinda how I see everything now. Every patient I meet, every condition I treat, it all comes down to what’s going on between the five elements—Prithvi, Ap, Tejas, Vayu, and Akash. Like once you start noticing where that elemental balance is off, the symptoms make more sense. It’s not just acidity or headache or constipation… it’s fire rising, space shrinking, or maybe earth getting stuck somewhere it shouldn’t. What I try to do is keep treatment simple. I don’t like loading people up with tons of tablets or drawn-out therapy plans. Less medicine, shorter durations—that’s the whole idea. If the body's natural balance can be nudged back with the right food, or some subtle gut-cleansing or timing shifts, why interfere more than needed? Ayurveda should feel gentle but deep. Sometimes I’ll only use one mild herb, or just ask them to shift their dinner time an hour earlier... small things, but they move energy in a big way. Most of the cases I get are chronic lifestyle-type stuff—gastritis, migraines, joint pain, piles, fissures, hormonal swings, acne, even weird undiagnosed fatigue that hasn’t gone away in months. What works well in all that is rooting the therapy in Prakriti-Vikriti understanding. I explain to my patients what type of person their body actually is and what disturbs it the most—and believe me, that one clarity alone changes their relationship with their health. They stop doing trial and error. I spend time helping people reconnect with that language—what food supports their element, how season effects their body, what habits are derailing their natural rhythms. Ayurveda isn’t about being complicated, it’s just… specific. And once they get that, I don’t have to do much. They start listening to their body better than before. That's the win.
