Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am practicing mainly in general medicine through Ayurveda, but my work doesn’t stop there.. a big part of what I do is counseling patients, helping them understand not just what disease label they carry but why their body reacts the way it does. Many times people just want someone to explain in simple words what’s happening, and I try to give them that space.
I also focus a lot on Nadi Pareeksha, the pulse diagnosis, which for me is like the doorway into hidden imbalances. By reading the pulse carefully, I can sense disturbances in doshas, digestion strength, stress impact, and it often reveal patterns that blood tests alone dont show. It helps me design treatment plans that are not generic but aligned with the person’s prakriti and current condition.
Along with this, I practice Marma therapy—working with the body’s energy points to release blocks, reduce pain, improve circulation and even calm the mind. Patients with chronic pain, fatigue, or stress often respond really well when marma is added to their plan. Sometimes I combine it with simple herbs or Panchakarma detox, sometimes just marma by itself is enough to give relief.
The way I see my specialization, it is not about choosing one rigid path, but using Ayurveda’s tools—general medicines, Nadi Pariksha, Marma therapy, and counseling—together in a way that make sense for the patient. Each person is different, so my approach keeps shifting, always centered on safety and long-term wellness. I feel this integrative style allow me to connect deeper with patients and help them in a way that feels authentic and sustainable. |
Achievements: | I am working as a Nadi Parikshak, using pulse diagnosis to understand hidden imbalances in doshas and overall health patterns, something that really guide me in making treatment more personal not just standard. Along with that I am also a trained Marma practitioner, applying pressure on marma points to help in pain relief, energy balance and healing. For me these two skills together are like strong tools that allow me to support patients in both physical and emotional wellbeing. |
I am working in Ayurveda for about 3–4 years now as a consultant, before that I had 1 full year of internship where I was exposed to a mix of OPD, IPD and hands-on Panchakarma practice. Those first days as an intern really grounded me—learning to take case histories, listening to patients, observing how senior doctors plan treatment, all of that shaped my base. Later when I moved into independent consulting, I could actually put those learnings into real decisions, designing plans that blend herbs, diet, lifestyle changes and classical therapies for different disorders. Over the years I got to see a wide range of cases—digestive disturbances, skin issues, hormonal problems, even lifestyle disorders like obesity and hypertension. Some patients came in only for counseling and diet planning, others needed structured therapies like Virechana or Basti. Each case taught me something new, like how two people with the same diagnosis can respond completely different depending on their prakriti or stress levels. That flexibility is something I try to carry in every consultation. My main focus is always patient-centered care, not just prescribing tablets or decoctions but actually guiding people on how to sustain balance long term. I explain what’s happening in their body in simple language, why small changes in food or sleep matter, when Panchakarma is needed and when simple home remedies are enough. I feel Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just a passive receiver. Sometimes I wonder if 3–4 years sound too less compared to senior doctors with decades of practice, but honestly the intensity of seeing patients every day, troubleshooting, counseling, following up, it has been equal to a continuous learning curve. That mix of early internship plus consulting practice makes me confident in handling both straightforward and complex cases. At the end of the day, my goal is the same—to use authentic Ayurveda in a way that feels approachable, safe and effective for every patient who walks in.
