Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am trained in Nadi Pariksha and marma therapy, and for me these two areas kind of complete each other. When I read the pulse through Nadi Pariksha, I can sense subtle shifts in doshas, find early signs of imbalance in digestion, stress load or circulation, and it guides me to the root not just surface complain. Marma therapy on the other side let me work directly with the body’s vital points, restoring flow of energy, easing pain, stiffness, or even emotional tension that the patient may not put in words. In practice I use both together—pulse reading gives me the map, marma intervention gives me the tool. Patients with chronic pain, joint problems, anxiety, fatigue, even hormonal disturbance often respond much faster when I combine this approach. Its not always big dramatic steps, sometimes its gentle pressing or stimulation on certain points, sometimes detox with simple herbs, but when timed with the pulse findings it feels precise. What I really value is how individual each case turn out. Two patients with same complain like back pain might need totally different plan, because their pulse story is different. That flexibility keeps my work authentic to Ayurveda. I see my role as helping people reconnect with balance, whether through marma touch or through understanding what their own pulse reveals about lifestyle, diet, stress. It is not about shortcut relief but about safe, rooted and sustainable healing that actually lasts.
Achievements:
I am proud to have secured top rank in the 2014 BAMS entrance exam, which gave me a solid start into Ayurvedic education and practice. Later, I got the chance to work with CCRAS on decoding Ayurvedic manuscripts, an experience that opened up the depth of classical text and how it connect to modern clinical use. These milestones are meaningful not just as certificates, but as steps that shaped my skill to blend tradition with clear practical application in patient care.

I am a Nadi Vaidya, and for me pulse diagnosis is not just a method but the center of how I understand patient’s health. When I place fingers on the nadi, I am listening to body’s inner rhythm, the subtle imbalances that cannot always be seen in reports or tests. Over time I learned how much depth this ancient practice holds, how it can reveal digestive disturbances, stress overload, early metabolic issues, and even the tendencies toward chronic disease before symptoms get worse. It is not about magic, it is about sensitivity and training, connecting what the pulse tells with classical Ayurvedic principles. In daily practice, I use Nadi Pariksha as the first step for every patient—whether they come for skin problem, joint stiffness, thyroid imbalance or piles. The pulse often shows me which dosha is disturbed, whether vata, pitta or kapha, and how deeply that imbalance has entered tissues. From there, treatment feels less like guesswork and more like precision. I design personalized plans—sometimes Panchakarma detox, sometimes gentle herbal support, sometimes diet and lifestyle corrections that look simple but are powerful when matched to the body’s state. Working this way also help me build trust, because patients feel heard when I explain their condition not only in medical words but in what their pulse is showing right now. Many say it gives them confidence that Ayurveda is looking at the whole person not just the symptom list. For me, the satisfaction is watching how much faster healing begins when root cause is targeted correctly. I also see Nadi Pariksha as a preventive tool. Many young people who feel “fine” come to me and through pulse I can point out early imbalance—like excess heat in pitta or blocked channels of kapha—and guide them before real disease manifest. That is where Ayurveda shines, and why I keep this tradition alive in every consultation. My goal is always clarity, safety, and helping patients regain balance through methods that are both ancient and still so practical in today’s lifestyle-driven disorders.
