Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am working a lot on GAD – generalized anxiety disorder – where I’ve tried to blend evidence-based research with the way Ayurveda sees the mind-body link. For me it’s not just about giving herbs or meds, it’s looking at the whole picture… using advanced diagnostics when needed, exploring safe pharmacological options, and pairing them with daily lifestyle tweaks that actually fit the patient’s life. I like digging into the root patterns behind disease, whether it’s mental health, metabolic disorders, or chronic inflammatory issues – cause they all have layers. Some cases need more modern tools, others respond better when the plan leans into classical Ayurvedic principles, and often it’s a mix. I keep the approach flexible, adjusting if things don’t work as expected, and I pay close attention to how changes in diet, routine, and thought patterns shape the results. It’s kind of like solving a puzzle, but the puzzle keeps moving – and that’s what keeps me learning every single day. |
Achievements: | I am happy that my work in Ayurveda got space in published clinical research articles and that I could share findings at 5 national & international conferences – those moments felt like the effort actually reached people. During my master’s I secured a university rank, which was a big boost for me, and honestly I keep pushing for that same level of focus in my current work too. Whether in study or in practice, I try to keep that mix of detail, discipline n curiosity alive. |
I am an Ayurveda doctor with a little over 8 and half years in this field – both academic grind and real hands-on practice – and honestly, every year only makes me respect it more. My work is kind of a bridge between what the old texts say and what today’s health challenges look like. I use classical principles, herbs, Panchakarma, and diet therapy, but I also pay attention to new research and patient feedback because healing is not about sticking blindly to rules… it’s about what actually works for the person sitting in front of you. Most of my practice is centered on helping people find balance in both body and mind – that means chronic digestive issues, metabolic conditions, skin flare-ups, stress, anxiety, hormonal shifts, and just that general feeling of being “off” even when tests come normal. I plan treatments that go deeper than symptom control – sometimes it’s Rasayana therapy to rebuild, sometimes detox, sometimes long-term lifestyle corrections. Every case feels diff, cause prakriti, age, habits, emotions – they all shape the plan. I also believe patient education is huge – I’d rather they understand why we’re making a change than just follow instructions. That’s why I spend time explaining the reasoning, the possible ups & downs, even the things that might not feel great at first. It’s not always quick or linear progress, but the end goal is sustainable health, not temporary relief. Over the years, I’ve seen Ayurveda adapt beautifully to modern needs – if used wisely, it’s not stuck in the past, it’s very much alive. My role, as I see it, is to keep that balance – honoring the ancient wisdom while making it practical and relevant today. Maybe that’s why every consultation still feels personal, like we’re working together to get their health back, not just “treating a case.”
