Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am someone who’s really into Ayurvedic medicine and yeah, Panchakarma is kinda the heart of my work. I spend most of my time figuring out what’s behind a person’s imbalance rather than just “fixing” the outer stuff. Whether it's chronic acidity or like, frozen shoulder or maybe just that general fatigue ppl don’t even know how to describe—I try to go deeper.
Most days, I’m using classical formulations, a bunch of sneha-sweda routines, and personalized diet tweaks that aren’t just generic do-this-not-that. Panchakarma honestly feels like a reset button for the body. I use it mostly with lifestyle disorder kinda cases, or those sluggish metabolic things... and ya, even musculoskelatl ones where inflammation's hanging around for too long.
I’m not big on overprescribing. Like if something can be worked out through ahara and vihara changes, I’d rather do that first than hand over a pile of tablets—even if they’re herbal. And when I do use meds, I lean more into time-tested combos with minimal risk. Ayurveda has sooo many ways to bring balance, but I like to keep it simple, clean and totally individualised... not copy-paste care.
Honestly, the real win for me is when a patient feels lighter, more in-control of their health, and don’t need me again unless they want to come back. |
Achievements: | I am someone who genuinely got into Ayurveda early on and yeah, during my academics I was actually the department topper (wasn’t expecting that tbh but it felt good). I kinda loved digging deep into the subjects, which probbly helped. I also joined a bunch of intercollege quiz things—not just for fun but they really helped sharpen my clinical logic n memory.
And I try not to miss seminars—national or institute level—because hearing diff views just opens things up, yk? Keeps me grounded n curious. |
I am an Ayurveda practitioner, still kinda early in my journey—about 6 months into hands-on clinical practice—but honestly, these few months have taught me more than any textbook could. Working closely with seniors who actually live Ayurveda daily gave me the push to really understand what goes beneath the doshas n symptoms. I mean sure, there’s a treatment for almost everything, but figuring out why it’s happening in that person... that's where it gets deep. Right now, I’m managing all sorts of cases—common cold, acidity, skin stuff, hormonal things—and what I always try to do is look at the root cause instead of just patching the surface. Like if someone keeps getting acne or constipation again n again, I don’t want them living on churnas forever. I focus a lot on diet advice, making tiny daily routine shifts, sometimes asking them to tweak sleep or even screen time (esp the younger ones—they don’t like hearing that!!). I genuinely believe Ayurveda isn’t just medicine—it’s a way to help people feel seen, not just fixed. That’s why I talk a lot to my patients. I try to listen more, ask questions that don’t sound robotic, y'know? Trust matters. If they trust you, they’ll actually follow your dinacharya tips or try that bitter decoction you recommended. I’m particularly drawn to preventive medicine—like how Ritucharya and Dinacharya can save people from needing heavy meds later. Sometimes just telling someone to change their oil, or eat seasonally—makes a difference!! Still have loads to learn honestly, but I’m open to it all... research, long cases, chronic conditions, and just doing better each day with what I know. Ayurveda has this rhythm... and I guess I’m learning to move in sync with it, patient by patient.
