Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mainly focused on three big areas—neurology, gynaecology and general medicine—and honestly they all kind of shape my day to day practice in ways that overlap more than people think. In neurology I deal with stroke care, epilepsy, migraine, peripheral neuropathies, sometimes long term neurodegenerative cases too. These are tough, they demand patience, continous monitoring, and small progress really matters. In gynae my work is more about menstrual health, infertility support, pregnancy care and other women’s health concerns, where empathy is just as important as protocols. General medicine keeps me grounded—it’s a broad base, covering hypertension, diabetes, metabolic disorders, routine fevers, infections, even multi-system illness where you can’t just look at one organ.

For me these 3 fields connect naturally—like a diabetic patient with neuropathy, or hormonal imbalance showing neuro signs, or pregnancy complicated by metabolic issues. That’s why I don’t just stick to textbook templates, I try to keep an integrative approach.. looking at the root and tailoring treatment to each patient’s condition and prakriti. Some cases need long term general medicine management, others are acute neurological crises, and many women’s health cases need both treatment and counselling side by side.

Sometimes medicine is enough, sometimes it’s lifestyle advice, sometimes just sitting and explaining calms half the anxiety. That mix of technical knowledge with patient-centered care is what I feel define my specialization. My goal is always safe, effective and clear guidance—helping patients not only fight disease but also regain confidence in their health.
Achievements:
I am regularly part of health camps and medical seminars, and for me those are not just formality but real spaces where you listen closely to people’s health issues in raw form. Being there give me chance to interact with different age groups, talk on preventive health, and explain simple lifestyle changes that actually matter. Each camp, each seminar keep me more alert, pushing me to update myself with new clinical discussions, plus the exposure outside clinic wall sharpen my practice too. Sharing Ayurveda and general medicine in such open forums feel meaningful, like spreading awareness in a way that reach wider crowd and also help me refine how I deliver care.

I am working with around 2 years of experince in gynecology & obstetrics, neurology and general medicine, and honestly those years taught me more than any textbook could. In gynae & obs I was deeply involved in patient monitoring, labour room management, supporting deliveries safely, making sure protocols were followed but also knowing when to adapt depending on patient’s need. It wasn’t just about procedures, it was about being present with mothers and families in very intense moments. In neurology dept I got chance to see complex cases—stroke, seizure disorders, neuropathies, long-term neurodegenerative conditions. These patients taught me patience, that small clinical signs matter, and that quick decision making and calm observation have to go together. In general medicine, the variety was endless, from diabetes, hypertension, infections, metabolic conditions to multi-organ complications. That is where my base really got strong, because you learn to think broadly and not miss the small things. Alongside, I trained properly in ICU procedures—ventilator settings, central and arterial lines, intubations, fluid management, monitoring critical vitals. ICU exposure gave me confidence to handle acute emergencies where seconds can change outcomes. Those moments are stressful, sometimes even overwhelming, but they sharpened my focus and discipline. I also realized medicine is not just about machines or drugs, it is also communication—explaining clearly to families, guiding them when fear is highest. Now I find myself more inclined towards general medicine and neurology, because I like to see patient as whole person not just one system. Neurology especially fascinates me, how subtle clues can lead to a diagnosis if you pay enough attention. My approach is simple—combine thorough history, strong clinical exam and evidence-based protocols, while individualizing care. Looking back, I see my experience as a mix of structure and judgment. Protocols gave me direction, patients gave me perspective. That combination of critical care training, neurological depth and general medicine breadth shapes how I practice today—safe, patient centered and focused on improving quality of life, not just controlling disease.
