Area of specialization: | I am mostly working in OPD management and internal medicine—kinda feel most at home there tbh. I deal with a wide range of conditions daily, from digestion issues and skin complaints to more tricky stuff like fatigue, hormonal ups-downs, or weird pain that doesn’t show on scans. My main focus is always to go deep into root cause using Ayurvedic principles—not just give a medicine n wait.
In OPD I’ve learned that ppl come with half info or sometimes too many reports, but what they feel isn’t always written anywhere. That’s where proper case taking helps. I pay close attention to ahar-vihar, prakriti, stress levels, and even emotional patterns—bcz everything connects. For internal issues, I usually go with a mix of herbal meds, pathya-apathya advice, and dincharya corrections. No big fancy steps unless needed.
Managing crowd in OPD also taught me to decide fast but stay calm. I’ve handled both acute n chronic complaints, and I feel confident guiding in cases where ppl say “I’m taking stuff but not feeling better.” That’s where Ayurved gives answers that modern meds sometimes miss. It’s not just about curing—it’s more like re-balancing the whole system. And that’s what I try to do. |
Achievements: | I am done with my compulsory internship at our college hospital where I got to see real-time patient flow n actually apply what we studied in books. Got to manage OPD/IPD, case writing, plan treatment, even assist in Panchkarma stuff when needed—was hectic but kinda shaped my confidence big time. I’m also a certified yoga instructor, which helps me guide ppl not just with herbs but also breath, posture n daily awareness stuff. It’s a combo I find really helpful for many conditions. |
I am an Ayurveda graduate from VPSV Ayurveda College, Kottakkal—a place where you don’t just study Ayurved, you live it. During my rotatory internship, I got the kind of clinical exposure that really opens up your thinking. I spent months in different departments—taking cases, understanding diagnosis both from shastra view n clinical angle, doing OPD, handling IPD rounds... and yeah, sometimes just listening quietly to patients when they had too much on their mind. Under guidance of seniors, I learned how to plan treatment—not just prescribing medicine, but seeing what kind of body-mind prakriti the person has, how strong their agni is, what the symptoms are really pointing toward. I was part of Panchakarma procedures too—not just reading about them but actually preparing the dravyas, assisting in basti, virechana, abhyanga etc. That hands-on stuff teaches you patience. Timing. Clarity. Medicine preparation was another side I got into—helping in churnas, kashayams, oil prep n even measuring doses right for diff prakriti. We also had exposure to nadi pariksha, assessing ama, dhatu balance, and how diet n lifestyle tie into recovery. One thing I learned fast is, each patient walks in with symptoms—but the root? It’s rarely what they first say. You need to dig a bit deeper, ask better. I’ve always tried to blend the classical principles with modern clinical sense—not getting stuck to either side too rigidly. Like if there’s a thyroid case, I’ll see the TSH levels, sure... but I’ll also ask about sleep, bowel habits, emotions, because that’s where real diagnosis begins. My training showed me how both science n intuition work together in this field. Ayurveda isn’t just about treating—it’s about seeing. Feeling. Listening. That’s what I carry with me now in every consultation.
