Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working with cases that revolve around digestion issues, gut health n all kinds of related troubles—constipation, bloating, IBS, acidity probs, that sort of thing... It kinda fascinates me how so much of what ppl feel mentally or emotionally actually starts in the gut!! Over time, I naturally got more into managing lifestyle disorders too—like diabetes, obesity, and sleep-related imbalance. That overlap is real, you know? One issue leads into another if not caught early.
Mental health's another big area I focus on—not just the “big” diagnoses, but even everyday stuff like anxiety, brain fog, mood instability... sometimes ppl don't even realise their digestion’s off because of mental unrest or vice-versa. That interlink between manas and sharir is exactly where Ayurveda helps me go deeper. I use a mix of ahara-vihara corrections, herbal plans, plus if needed some subtle support therapies (like shirodhara, nasyam etc) depending on the case.
I try not to generalize ever. Each person’s condition is like... layered. I take time to understand the prakriti, current state of agni, and even minor things like food habits or sleep cycles—they all tell a story. Also I’m very particular about sustainable healing. Like no shortcuts. There’s no point fixing gut if the mind’s gonna keep disturbing it right?
To me, treating lifestyle and digestive disorders ain’t just protocol—it’s about finding why the imbalance started in first place, n what can actually prevent it from coming back. |
Achievements: | I am kinda naturally into speaking and connecting with ppl, and I guess that’s why I won 1st prize in a debate comp at IP university... it wasn’t just about arguing but expressing thoughts in a clear way, which honestly helps me lot as a doctor too. I’ve also taken part in diff seminars and academic programs that was focused around Ayurveda—stuff like case-based discussions, student forums, and few presentations where we explored classical principles and tried linking them with modern-day scenarios. Those spaces taught me more than just books could!! Communicating well, whether on stage or in clinic, matters more than most ppl realise, and I’m glad I leaned into that part early on. |
I am someone who honestly grew a lot during my time at Choudhary Brahm Prakash Ayurved Charak Sansthan. Spent almost a full year working there—just one year, but felt like ten in terms of what I learned. The place is one of Asia's most respected Ayurvedic hospitals, and I got lucky getting that exposure so early. Worked under some seriously experienced doctors and expert faculty... like, they didn’t just teach, they lived Ayurveda, you know? Every day was full of clinical rounds, detailed case discussions, n watching complex therapies get carried out with this mix of tradition & precision. There’s something about learning in that kind of environment—it makes you rethink the way you observe even basic symptoms. I got to be involved in treatments for so many different conditions—digestive stuff, joint issues, skin disorders, neuro problems... and I’d say the biggest gain wasn’t just textbook learning, but knowing when not to rely on books. I picked up how to do proper Ayurvedic diagnosis using things like Nadi Pariksha, Prakriti analysis and real-time observation, which I know sounds obvious but trust me—doing it under pressure or with 5 patients waiting isn't the same as what you do during college viva. I messed up a few times, not gonna lie. But I was mentored closely and that helped a lot... Also learned how team-based care works in bigger institutions, which matters more than ppl admit. Sometimes your decision affects other therapists’ work or vice versa. All this helped shape how I now approach patient care—more aware, more grounded. Working there gave me this foundation I keep going back to, especially when I’m treating complex cases or making tough calls during Panchakarma planning. Looking back now, that year was short, but the learning curve—pretty steep and totally worth it.
