Area of specialization:
I am a physician—Ayurveda's my main ground, but tbh my daily flow gets pretty diverse. Like one moment it’s a thyroid issue, next it’s a long-standing joint pain that doesn’t quit. I handle all that, from PCOD and kidney stone kinda stuff to mental health probs that ppl don’t talk about enough. I focus on both sharir n mansik health... both need care right? My clinical eye keeps going back to finding root imbalance in doshas, not just patchin up symptoms. Diagnosis part takes time but I don’t like rushing.. I listen, really try to catch the pattern behind what patient’s sayin—sometimes even a small detail shifts the whole direction of treatment. I’m into using shodhan n shaman both, depends what body needs at that point. I’m also constantly checkin vitals, tracking prakriti-vikruti... trying to balance modern clinical checks with ayurvedic reasoning. That mix is where I feel most real. Nothing fancy but my grip on internal medicine cases keeps gettin better.
Achievements:
I am someone who started off real grounded—I worked at an Ayurvedic chikitsalay for around 8 months, where most days were hands-on, like literally. That time gave me some solid base in practical care, dealing with patients face-to-face, not just theory on paper. I also hold a certified training in Panchakarma therapy. That part kinda pulled me in deeper, seeing how shodhan works in actual cases... it’s not always textbook ya. That combo of experience + skill still shape the way I treat today.

I am practicing since about 1 year and 8 months now—not a huge stretch maybe, but honestly feels like I've already walked through quite a mix of cases. And each one kinda shaped how I look at healing. Right from my first OPD posting, I got into hands-on mode with panchakarma-based treatments, and yeah, chronic issues like thyroid, joint stiffness, stones, even infertility cases—those started showing up more often than I thought. Some were complex, some unpredictable. But I stayed with it, trying to figure what exactly worked and when. I like taking time to actually hear the full picture from patients. Sometimes ppl just mention one thing, like back pain, but turns out they’re dealing with hormonal imbalances or digestion that’s all messed up too. That’s why I don’t rush—my approach's slow-ish, maybe, but thorough. I believe in tailoring the treatment, like really listening to what the body’s trynna say. And during this period I also kept showing up in field camps, hospital rotations, even got involved with elocution and poster presentations—those things helped build confidence outside the clinic too. I’m still figuring a few things out, I mean, learning doesn't stop right? But for now I’m grounded in what I know and curious about what I don’t. That balance keeps me goin'.
