Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mostly into Ayurvedic cosmetology these days—things like Ayurfacials, skincare routines using herbal blends, and trying to help people understand their skin through dosha balance... not just surface level. It’s a lot more than beauty work tbh. I work on acne, pigmentation issues, hair thinning etc., and I mix that with general medicine too ’cause sometimes these problems ain't just external right? Hormonal, stress, digestion—all of it shows up on face.

Ayurfacial’s kinda my fav to do—it's calming but also deeply therapeutic if done right. Like u can see visible glow if body’s reacting well to the herbs. I do rely on traditional protocols, but I also adjust it as per prakriti, weather, patient’s mental state, all that. Some cases respond in 2-3 sittings, others take time, but I explain that healing’s not a one-shot deal anyway.

General medicine's still part of my practice, especially digestive or female cycle irregularities, 'cause again they tie into skin n hair. And ya there's always new things to learn, every skin is different—no such thing as one-type-fixes-all in this work.
Achievements:
I am certified in AyurDietetics and also trained in Ayur Jothisham—bit of a different path maybe, but both fields really helped me look at patient care in a fuller kinda way. Diet is like half the battle in most cases, especially in chronic conditions or hormonal stuff, and getting it right ain't just about calories. It’s more about prakruti, seasons, even mood. As for Jothisham, it adds a kinda intuitive depth—I don’t use it always, but when needed... it guides better timing & alignment too.

I am practicing Ayurveda since the last 3 years, and tbh those 3 years taught me stuff I don’t think books cud ever do. My focus’s mostly been on treating day-to-day health issues but over time started seeing more chronic ones too—like PCOD, joint stiffness, or digestion probs that just don’t go away easy. Sometimes people come with vague symptoms, and that’s where I kinda lean into my clinical gut along with the shastra basics, yk? I usually prefer keeping treatment rooted in classics—medicated oils, customized herb combos, simple diet tweaks, all of that—but yeah, no two cases ever run exactly same. A lot of my work involves explaining to patients that real healing don’t happen overnight. It’s slow. But once they start seeing small shifts, they feel more committed. I also work on combining panchakarma when it's really needed… not just throwing it at every case. I’ve had few challenging ones too, like a woman with thyroid thing plus major stress headaches—took months, but we found the rythm that clicked. I don’t claim I fix everything, no. But I do try to hold space for ppl who feel stuck. There’s something about knowing someone’s actually listening, that helps them more than we realise. I do keep trying to learn, not just from senior Vaidyas but patients too—some patterns u only see when ur fully in it. And yeah I know 3 years isn't decades, but every year added some more layers to how I see disease, healing, even trust in treatment. Right now I'm just focused on deepening that understanding.
