Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working on cases related to digestion and skin—two things that might seem different but honestly they’re pretty much always linked. I deal with a wide range of stuff from things like IBS, acid reflux, bloating, to stubborn skin conditions like psoriasis, acne, even chronic eczema that just doesn't go away with ointments. And yeah, sometimes both together. Which makes it messy but also interesting to treat.
The way I approach things is classical—like full Ayurvedic style, starting with Prakriti-Vikriti understanding. I don’t rush to prescribe herbs or start therapies right away. First I try to get what’s actually causing the imbalance. Whether it’s poor digestion, improper ahar, or something emotional that’s showing up on skin. Each person’s pattern is different—what triggers itching for one may be completely harmless for another.
Once I figure that, I build a plan that usually includes herbal combinations, diet tweaks (not too crazy), and sometimes panchakarma if the buildup is deep. I do like working long-term, because these things don’t fix overnight, esp. if the root is gut-based or hormonal. And ya, I’m very careful with choosing formulations, matching them to dosha and season—those details really matter but often ignored.
At the end of the day, I just want my patients to feel they’re actually healing—not just suppressing symptoms. If their digestion settles, skin clears, and energy starts coming back—that’s where the satisfaction lies. |
Achievements: | I am not into counting exactly, but yeah—somewhere near 20,000 patients have come through my clinic till now. Some just needed a quick fix like for a cold or digestion issue, and others were way more chronic, like skin or hormonal stuff that stayed unresolved for yrs. Each one kind of shaped how I work now.
I look at people fully—not just what’s showing up but what’s behind it, emotionally too sometimes. That much direct experience changed how I design treatments, it's not one-size-fits-all and never should be. |
I am someone who's been working full-time in clinical Ayurveda for 4+ years now—feels strange saying that because everyday still feels like I’m learning all over again. Anyway, my practice started on solid training in classical Ayurvedic theory, but honestly, it’s working one-on-one with people that’s shaped me more than anything. Most of what I do now revolves around treating lifestyle disorders and chronic things like digestion gone all weird, hormones bouncing around (esp. with PCOD), or joint pain that doesn’t really go with just rest. I use a mix of traditional diagnostic stuff like Prakriti-Vikriti analysis, pulse reading sometimes when the case calls for it, and always make sure the plan—diet, medicines, therapies—is personal. Like actually personal, not “vata-pitta-kapha” stamped general advice. I’ve worked with people going through long-term gut issues, sleep problems, back stiffness, or just this vague fatigue that doesn’t show in blood reports. There’s always a pattern and once we see that clearly, we correct it gently. Most people don’t need intense stuff, they need right guidance and steady plan. A lot of my time also goes into detox programs like Panchakarma or just simple ritucharya prep, especially when seasons change. I do try keeping it practical, because let’s be real—Ayurveda’s powerful but people have lives and jobs and it needs to fit. I also like keeping space to explain the “why” behind things, whether that’s skipping curd at night or why sleep before 10pm matters for liver detox. Some of this still gets eye-rolls but then they try and they feel better, and that’s satisfying in itself. I make it a point to keep learning too—webinars, meetups, seminars, that kinda thing. Not just to learn new things, but also to not get boxed into routine. And when needed, I’ve worked with modern doctors too, especially when patients are on meds or diagonosis needs clarity. It just makes care safer and cleaner. My whole idea is to offer real Ayurveda—not just theory, but something that meets people where they are & helps move them back toward balance, naturally. Nothing flashy, just patient, steady healing that feels true.
