Area of specialization: | I am mainly into Ayurvedic medicine and I really believe it works best when you go to the root and not just the symptoms. My main focus? figuring out imbalances in people’s system and correcting them naturally. Stuff like gas, acid issues, psoriasis, coughs that linger for weeks, or things like joint stiffness, they’re all kinda connected if you look deeper. I do get a lot of chronic cases like arthritis or stress-induced headaches, and honestly, they respond well once you tweak diet, sleep & herbs in the ryt way.
Most ppl I meet don’t realise their habits are half the prob. Once I map their Prakriti and current Vikriti (it changes, yes), I try to put together a plan that actually fits—like not too harsh but still real change. I use herbal formulas, diet tips that can actually be followed (not fantasy stuff), some panchakarma if needed and lifestyle correction—if they're open to it.
What I care about more lately is prevention. Like not waiting till the body totally gives up. I feel patients shud know why their body’s reacting a certain way. My goal? help them see that Ayurveda isn’t outdated—it’s practical, sustainable and yeah, safe when done right. It's not magic but it sure makes sense. |
Achievements: | I am working in Ayurveda since 2015 and honestly that first year itself taught me more than I could imagine. I kept pushing myself to learn more not just from books but from real ppl—like actual patients with real-life issues. I’ve treated all kinds—mild digestion stuff to tough skin n stress probs. And yeah, I still read. I keep track of new research and try to see what can actually help in real practice, not just theory you knw? My diagnosis skills grew a lot with time, through hands-on wrk and constant trial-error. I’m still learning, but I feel grounded now. |
I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a little over five years into this line of work, and honestly, each year just made me more curious about the depth Ayurveda actually holds. I started off in a small private clinic, kinda unsure how real-world patients would respond to classical methods... but yeah, turns out, if done right, the changes are very real. Over time I ended up working in both clinics and hospital setups, managing more than 200+ cases, not just numbers—these were ppl with very real, different problems and stories. Most of the time, I’m working around digestive issues—like chronic bloating, acidity, constipation, sometimes IBS-type patterns—where Agni plays a huge role and you just can’t rush the process. I also deal with stress-linked conditions a lot (like sleeplesness or fatigue with no clear reason), plus skin probs like acne or eczema and then your lifestyle disorders like borderline diabetes, thyroid shifts, those in-between cases that need long-term hand-holding. In all that, I do spend time explaining the why’s to patients—like how their Prakriti or Vikriti affects how fast or slow they’re recovering. That part feels important. In the hospital zone, things were bit different... had to think in sync with allopathy teams, which actually sharpened my approach in layered cases. Didn’t mean giving up Ayurvedic core—it just meant being smart about integration, esp in chronic stuff that doesn’t fix overnight. That’s where I use Panchakarma, but only if it fits, not just because the textbook says so. I don’t promise miracles but I do push for sustainability. Using herbs, tweaking daily habits, teaching them to watch their own patterns—it’s slow work, but I’ve seen ppl reclaim energy and calm without tons of meds. And that... that’s what keeps me going. My thing really is—blending deep classical theory with what’s doable today. Every patient’s a bit diff, and that makes the whole thing worth it.
