Experience: | 4 years |
Education: | Sri Sidharameshwara Ayurvedic Medical College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am an Ayurvedic physician, kinda the old-school type who still believes the body *actually knows* how to fix itself—if we stop messing with it too much. My focus is usually on chronic conditions that people just live with because nothing else seemd to work—gut issues, skin flare-ups, stress burnout, period irregularities... that whole cycle. I use classical Ayurvedic texts a lot but not blindly—every patient’s prakriti & lifestyle tells a diff story. I like digging into that, even if takes time. Healing’s not rushed anyway. Some days it's just tweaking their daily habits, other times it’s full-on Panchakarma or Rasayana plans. But the goal’s always root-level—not band-aid style. I try not to overdo herbs or push therapies unless they *fit*. Balance is key, and tbh, patients feel that. |
Achievements: | I am not really someone who chases awards or titles tbh, but I do feel proud when ppl come back and say they’re finally sleeping better or digestion is kinda normal now after years.. that stuff matters more to me than a certificate on wall. Helping patients stick with the plan and *feel better*—even if slow—is what I see as the real achievment. And yeah, not giving up on tough cases too quick.. even when nothing was moving, I kept trying new routes, and sometimes, that worked. |
I am currently working as a govt doctor in the public health system, which kinda gives me this daily reality check. Like, every single OPD is unpredictable. Some days you see 20 patients with cold & gas trouble, other days it's full-blown chronic cases, post-op follow-ups, or emotional outbursts from long-suffering families. You don’t get to choose who walks in—you just have to *show up* and be present. That's something I learned fast. Besides the regular govt duties, I also do independent OP consultations. It started small—mostly neighbors and friends’ referrals, then word just kept spreading. I think what made ppl come back wasn’t fancy setups or fast results, it was how much time I took to *listen*. Whether someone had fistula pain that kept coming back or was stuck in a cycle of stress & digestion issues, I tried building plans they could actually stick with. Clean diagnosis, no false hopes, straight plan. Sometimes it’s Panchakarma, sometimes it’s just minor herbs, or even asking them to sleep better or stop eating late night oily stuff. Handling both—public sector chaos & private patient load—doesn’t leave me with free evenings, but I feel like both teach me different things. In the hospital, I get to see the scale of issues across socioeconomic backgrounds, while private OPD lets me dive deeper into individual cases, where there’s more space to track progress weekly. I don’t think either is more valuable—they just complete each other. I'm still figuring out the balance tbh, but it’s clear to me now that wherever I work, the core idea doesn’t change—*listen better, explain clearly, treat responsibly*. Whether it's ano-rectal, metabolic disorders, skin stuff or postnatal recovery, I focus on root-level care—not patching things up temporarily.
