Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | APM's Ayurved Mahavidhyalay in Sion |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly dealing with patients who're either struggling with **weight issues**—like no matter what they eat or skip, the scale won’t budge—or folks who’ve tried everything for **hairfall n acne** but nothing sticks. I like working through proper **Panchkarma** when it's really needed, esp for long-stuck ama or slow metabolism. Also do **leech therapy**, mostly for local pain, swelling or skin troubles where blood letting helps clean things faster.
Joint pain is another regular thing I see... **Aamvata**, **Sandhivata**, the usual morning stiffness, swelling, pain on movement. I don’t jump to oils right away—first I try to clear the ama, then slowly strengthen with rasayan n mild snehana if required.
Most of my cases aren’t dramatic, but layered... you treat one thing, another pops up. That’s why I focus on **dosha balance**, and see how digestion, sleep, stress, all mix into the complaint. It’s not instant but feels more real when it starts to shift. |
Achievements: | I am really into leech therapy—it’s something I rely on a lot esp. when nothing else gives lasting releif. Used it for chronic numbness cases where meds just weren’t doing much. Few psoriasis patches too—where skin just kept scaling again n again—responded better when leeching was combined with mild virechana n local dhara. Same with eczema.. one case around ankle was stubborn af but after 3 sittings it slowly cleared. Not every case goes perfect, but I keep learning thru each one. |
I am practicing in Mumbai since a year now and honestly, this one year taught me more than I expected—mostly from the patients themselves. I'm an ayurvedic practitioner, not too flashy or complicated, just kinda rooted in day-to-day practical healing. I work a lot with chronic constipation cases (which btw, ppl totally underestimate till it gets real annoying), generalized weakness—those vague low-energy complaints that allopathy often rushes thru—and also, weight loss when it’s more about imbalance than diet charts. I also do Panchkarma. Not just as some detox trend, but with proper protocols—taila, basti, virechana if needed—depending on the patient’s **prakruti** and actual complaints. There’s also leech therapy (Jalaukavacharan) which I perform in certain vascular issues, pain conditions or even chronic skin problems—it’s not for evryone, sure, but when it works, it *really* works. Hair and skin care is another area I keep getting queries about—hair fall, dandruff, acne, dull skin... mostly connected to digestion and stress tbh. Sometimes it's the liver. Sometimes it’s food. Sometimes ppl just using too much stuff on their face 😅. I try to simplify it using internal medicines with some local snehan or ubtan depending on case. One thing I don’t do is rush. I talk. I try to figure what’s really going on. Sometimes ppl don’t even mention what actually bothering them till the 3rd or 4th visit. But once trust builds, then things shift. I think healing needs that space... not just pills. My practice is still growing. I learn daily. Some cases are slow, some surprise me. But I like that mix—it keeps me awake n alert. Always checking, tweaking meds, observing. Ayurveda needs patience, ya, but when done right, it changes things deeply. That’s what I go for.
