Experience:

Education:
Maharashtra University Of Health Scieinces
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am mainly into Swasthvritta and preventive & social medicine — which honestly feels less like a speciality and more like a way of living, not just for patients but even for me. I don’t always believe in waiting for disease to “happen” and then treating it. If we can build daily habits, right diet, dincharya and all that, then half the problems just don’t show up in the first place. That’s how I see it.

Most ppl think prevention is just about hygiene or maybe vaccines (which *are* important btw), but it’s more layered than that. It’s how you sleep, what you eat when you’re stressed, how often you move or sit still. These things get ignored until something goes wrong, and by then the root cause is burried under layers. My work’s kinda about helping ppl tune back into balance *before* stuff goes off track.

And socially, I focus on spreading awareness — like holding camps, school health talks, sometimes just chatting with patients casually and slipping in advice about gut health or sunlight or even screen time (kids nowadays.. ugh). Nothing too preachy, just.. gentle nudges.

Sometimes ppl don’t even realise they’re out of sync. They come in with fatigue, acidity, weird skin things — and we work backwards. I actually enjoy those cases. They’re not “serious” maybe, but they’re real. And helping someone live better is honestly underrated.

Anyway, that’s what I do. Not always flashy work, but it matters. At least I feel like it does.
Achievements:
I am a BAMS graduate from 2023 — still feels weird saying that out loud lol. Those years were full-on, like one day you’re learning about Tridosha and next day you’re in the OPD trying not to mess up BP readings. Now I’m pursuing my postgraduation in Swasthvritta at Tilak Ayurved Mahavidyalay, Pune. It’s intense but good kind of intense. Preventive health, daily regimen science, public wellness stuff — this is the space I honestly feel most connected too.

I am someone who honestly kinda stumbled into this path with curiosity but stuck around cuz I started seeing the difference it makes... real, visible difference. My early clinical journey began at Aryangla Hospital, Satara — place taught me more than any textbook ever could. I still remember walking into those wards, not knowing exactly what to expect but always ready to learn. That space gave me a solid ground in practical Ayurveda and also made me see just how complex yet simple patient care can be. Then came DH, Satara. That was a bit of a shift — busier days, more critical cases, and yeah a lotta paperwork too 😅. But in all that chaos, I started to trust my gut more, clinically I mean. Not everything fits into pre-written diagnosis boxes, and sometimes... you just sense what the patient needs. I started developing that sense there. PCH Parali Satara gave me space to understand rural dynamics. I realised patients don’t always walk in with names of diseases — they come with stories. Pain in bones after years of labour, ENT infections that got ignored too long, recurring fevers they just “managed” at home for months. It made me listen better — not just to symptoms but the way they’re said. And yeah, I did my formal academic training at Tilak Ayurved Mahavidyalay, Pune. That place is where I actually felt proud to belong to this field. It wasn’t easy — long lectures, clinical postings, those nerve-wrecking exam days where your brain goes blank for no reason lol. But I made it through. Learned from some amazing teachers, read ancient texts that weirdly still make sense today, and got pushed to question everything — which I liked. Honestly, all these places didn’t just shape my skills, they shaped me. I’ve treated ortho cases where the pain was more emotional than physical, and ENT cases that looked small but turned out to be big deals. I’m still learning every single day, still fumbling sometimes (forgot a patient’s file last week — ugh), but always trying to show up fully. This work isn’t just about herbs or therapies or protocols. It’s about showing up, listening, and trying again. And if that’s what you’re looking for — I’d be glad to be there.
