Education:
Sri Venkateswara Ayurvedic Medical College
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am mostly into medicine part—clinical ayurveda, basically. It’s what I keep coming back to, no matter where I start from. Like even if the issue looks simple, cold-cough type or more deep-rooted like metabolic or hormonal stuff, I try digging into the samprapti part first… figuring out the root cause, not just the symptoms floating on top. That’s what I actually enjoy most—piecing things together slowly, from dosha involvement to dhatu status.

Usually I deal with stuff like digestion trouble, infections, fever-like conditions, fatigue, blood sugar issues etc. But honestly nothing’s really small in medicine—every patient teaches you a new link. I mostly rely on classical ayurvedic formulations but sometimes customise herbs if I feel something’s not aligning.

My way’s a mix—sometimes I go full text-based classical line, sometimes I take a slightly modern edge depending on who I’m treating. And yeah, I do mess up occasionally...like forgetting to note down chronic symptoms or missing patient’s sleep cycle inputs, which now I realise, matters a lot.

Medicine's a huge umbrella—vata-pitta-kapha, roga-marga, all that—it’s not always clean or predictable. But I try not to jump to conclusions. I listen, pause, ask more questions than needed maybe. But in the end it kinda helps build the whole picture slowly n that’s what makes the treatment work long-term.
Achievements:
I am an MD in Ayurveda n honestly that phase changed a lot in how I view patients n diseases now. Getting into the postgrad program gave me more grip on pathogenesis—understanding how deep a dosha imbalance can go if not picked early. It wasn’t always smooth, sometimes felt stuck with texts I didn’t fully get or case studies that didn't match textbook lines, but that struggle also kind of made things click later. That MD journey still shapes how I plan every treatment today.

I am working in this field from 3 years now, and honestly it doesn’t feel like just a number—each year kinda brought different layers to how i approach patients, cases and even the day-to-day clinic chaos. First year was like... more about figuring out how to link textbook stuff to real-world symptoms, sometimes missing a connection but slowly getting better. By the second year, I felt more grounded—especially while handling chronic cases like PCOS, obesity, thyroid imbalance, where listening becomes half the treatment. I started experimenting more with diet planning n prakriti-based routines, trying to not just give a script but something the patient could actually follow, like... practically. I’ve also got decent grip now in Panchkarma procedures—virechan, basti, nasya, and stuff like raktamokshan—which I used to be nervous about in the begining tbh. But over time, the hands got steady n more confident. And somewhere in this journey I realised managing gut health was like this silent gamechanger?? whether it’s stress, hormone stuff, even skin issues—if digestion's off, the rest don’t settle right. That led me into deeper focus on agni management and rasayan therapies too. I did fumble early on, I remember forgetting sequence during leech application once (embarrasing but learned well). Now it's more instinctive. I also try mixing traditional methods with a modern understanding whenever needed—not in a forced way but only where it adds value. Marma therapy and kriya kalpa (like tarpana etc.) are things I also kept exploring along the side...still learning but I do apply them where apt. What I feel now after these 3 year is that clarity don’t come in one go—it kinda builds. You mess up, retry, and get sharp. That’s how I treat too—personalised, not textbook-perfect but practical, compassionate and slightly messy like real healing usually is.
