Area of specialization: | I am running my own Ayurveda clinic here in my area and honestly it feels more like a space for healing than just a workplace. I practice only pure Ayurveda… no shortcuts, no mixing with other systems, because I want patients to experiance the real depth of traditional healing. The clinic is fully equipped with a Panchakarma setup, which means I can offer therapies like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, Vamana etc right under one roof. Some days are all about consultations, listening to people’s stories, their habits, the small details that often matter more than big symptoms. Other days, I’m in the therapy room, guiding treatments hands-on or checking if everything’s done exactly right.
Ayurveda in a place like this feels very personal — people here know me, they come with trust, and that makes me even more careful with every diagnosis and treatment plan. I focus on balancing doshas, cleansing the body through Panchakarma, and giving diet-lifestyle advice that’s practical for their daily life, not just ideal in theory. Yeah, it can get exhausting sometimes, but when you see someone walk in with years of chronic pain and leave lighter, calmer, healthier… well, that’s the part you can’t measure with just words. |
Achievements: | I am done with a Diabetic reversal certificat course from Madhavbaug… kinda proud of that because it gave me deeper understanding on how lifestyle, diet n Ayurvedic principles can actually help people manage or even reverse their diabetes in a safe way. The training was not just theory, we worked on real case studies, saw changes in patients sugar levels, weight, energy. It made me more confident in creating practical, sustainable treatment plans that people can actually follow. |
I am currently working as an Assistant Professor at NEIAFMR in Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh, which is quite an interesting place to be honest… not just because of the location but the work environment too. My role here isn’t just about teaching, though that’s a big part of it, but also about guiding students in understanding the depth of Ayurveda, especially in areas where traditional knowledge meets modern research. Sometimes the classroom discussions drift into real-life case applications, which I actually like because it keeps things practical rather than only theory. Being in an institute like NEIAFMR also means I get involved in academic activities beyond the routine lectures — from supervising practical sessions to contributing to institutional projects. There’s also a lot of interaction with colleagues from different specialities, and that sort of exchange does help broaden one’s own approach toward patient care and research ideas. Pasighat itself gives a unique backdrop to my work… the local community, their health challenges, and their openness to Ayurveda make it a place where I can see the real impact of what we teach. Sometimes resources aren’t as smooth as in metro cities, but that also pushes you to be adaptive, to find ways of delivering the same quality of education and healthcare support. In short, my role blends academic teaching, student mentorship, and staying rooted in practical application of Ayurvedic principles. It’s demanding, yeah, but also quite rewarding when I see students grow confident in their skills and when the work we do inside the classroom reflects in better understanding of Ayurveda outside it.
