Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am pretty into understanding the full picture before rushing to conclusions, that’s why history taking is like the base for me—if you don’t listen proper in the beginning, everything you suggest later might go off-track. I try to catch the small things people mention offhand, cuz often those are actually important. Diagnosis, too, I do it through both Ayurved and modern view... like not everything fits neatly in one box rite? You gotta balance ancient wisdom with clinical signs, maybe throw in a few test reports here and there when needed.
Panchkarma is another area I work with. It’s not always about "cleansing" like people assume—it’s more about restoring flow, removing blockages, helping the body reset itself. I won’t lie, it’s a little messy and slow sometimes but that’s where real work happens.
And yeah, I blend Ayurveda treatments with modern approach when the case needs it. Some things respond better to herbs, others to anti-inflammatory methods or lifestyle modifys. Depends. I don’t fix everything, obviously, but I try to go deep into each case and treat the root not just surface. |
Achievements: | I am proud to say I completed my undergrad in Ayurved with an A–grade, which honestly felt good after all that hectic studying n rotating internships.. It wasn’t just about scores for me, tho—each subject, esp like dravyaguna n kriya sharir, kinda pulled my interest deeper into how body n herbs interact. It wasn’t easy, missed a few practicals at times due to travel or shift changes but managed to pull through. That grade still feels like a small win that matters. |
I am someone who still think about my 12-month rotatory internship days now and then ‘cause that phase really shaped how I see things in practice. My internship was split across three places—each one very different, and in its own way, kinda overwhelming too. At SAMCH Indore, I was mainly involved in Ayurved treatment protocols, and I remember sitting through back-to-back OPDs, learning how each dosha can actually show up in very diff ways in diff people. It wasn’t just textbook—real patients don’t behave like diagrams, you know?? Like this one guy had skin issues, but turned out the problem was rooted in his digestion. That sorta thing really make you look deeper. Then at Govt. District Hospital Rewa, it was more general stuff—crowded wards, rushed rounds, real-life emergencies that don’t give time to think twice. We had to act fast, even with limited resorces. I used to feel nervous before entering the gynae ward but day-by-day, I started finding confidence. Got exposed to deliveries, minor procedures, and a lot of patient interaction—some good, some not so smooth either. KN Hospital was a smaller setup, but I got to see a more balanced rhythm there. Less pressure than Rewa, but also more chances to sit with seniors and ask silly questions—without being judged!! And sometimes those silly questions actually gave me bigger learnings. It’s funny how much you remember from the quieter days too.
