Experience:
2 years
Education:
Guru Ravidas Ayurved University
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am focused mainly on skin and hair care—where looks meet health, honestly. Whether it's dandruff, sudden hair thinning, greying before time, or scalp issues like psoriasis, I try to understand what's *actually* causing it, not just slap some remedy on top. Same goes for skin—psoriasis, pigmentation, white patchess, acne marks, or weird rashes that just won’t quit... I like digging deep into the root cause, sometimes it's gut, sometimes hormones, sometimes stress (or all at once?). I mix Ayurvedic diagnosis with clear, no-fuss treatment plans—diet, herbs, therapies, whatever fits. Not every case responds fast, and yeah there are ups and downs—but when things do shift, like when that stubborn hyperpigmentation fades, it really feels worth it. I do believe every skin or hair condition is telling a story. You just gotta be patient enough to listen, and kinda stubborn enough to not give up midway. Results can take time. But they do come, slowly. We’ll get there.
Achievements:
I am grateful to share that I was awarded as a cosmetologist in Pune, which kinda felt like a quiet nod to the long hours spent figuring out skin types, scalp triggers n choosing the *right* peel or hair protocol when it mattered. It wasn't some flashy moment but it meant ppl noticed the work. I don’t chase titles honestly—but yeah this one made me pause and smile. Still got a lot to learn, but this pushed me to trust my own clinical instinct a bit more than before.

I am someone who learns best by doing, and during my BAMS rotatory internship at Shaheed Kartar Singh Sarabha Ayurvedic Medical Hospital in Ludhiana, I really got my hands into the day-to-day of clinical Ayurveda. Working in both OPD and IPD setups kinda made me see how theory turns real in patient care. I assisted with history taking, diagnosis, and patient exams alongside senior doctors—trying to absorb as much as I could. I worked across departments like Kaya Chikitsa, Panchakarma, Shalya Tantra and Stri Roga, each showing me different layers of healing. I got directly involved in therapies like Basti, Vaman, Nasya and Abhyanga, which made me respect how deeply Ayurvedic procedures impact the body and mind. Also gave lifestyle and diet suggestions based on what we were treating... sometimes felt unsure if they’d follow it all, but many actually did. Then, at Cosmo-Square Clinic in Pune, I shifted into the world of aesthetic and dermatological care—totally different setup but very eye-opening. I helped with chemical peels for acne, tanning, pigmentation, depending on skin types and what suited them. There were days packed with PRP therapy combined with microneedling for hair regrowth and skin rejuvenation—honestly quite fascinating to see changes over weeks. I assisted in laser hair reduction (face and full body areas) under guidance and even helped with mesotherapy for scalp and face (that was tricky at first but kinda fun later). Observed a bunch of HIFU (high frequency ultrasound) skin tightening sessions and performed HydraFacials for deep exfoliation and hydration. I also worked on electroporation, CO2 laser for acne scars, and took part in tattoo removal and mole cauterization too. All under supervision of course, but I liked how technical and precise everything was. These two internships made me more confident in both classical Ayurvedic approach and modern skin-care techniques. I guess now I kinda see both worlds and try to balance them depending on what each patient really need.
