Doctor information
Experience:
2 years
Education:
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Ayurvedic University, Jodhpur
Academic degree:
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Area of specialization:
I am trained in Ayurvedic Ophthalmology through the CRAV program at Sreedhareeyam Eye Hospital in Kerala (2024–25). Got to learn under Dr Narayanan sir — honestly that alone taught me more than any textbook ever could. We handled all kinds of eye cases, like dry eyes, cataract management, optic issues… not just theory, real patients.

Worked hands-on with kriyakalpa therapies — things like netra tarpana, putapaka, aschyotana. Not just doing it, but also understanding why it’s done that way. I was involved in case discussions, research bits here and there (nothing too fancy), and a lot of counselling too which actually matters way more than ppl think.

The protocols we followed were all classical – no shortcuts or modern twists. Full exposure into diagnosis flow, dosha involvement, disease stages etc. Honestly I felt like I saw Ayurveda working with eyes... not just managing but actually improving things.
Achievements:
I am specialised in Ayurvedic Opthalmology (Netra Chikitsa) and got to work closely with both classical and a bit of modern diagnostic ideas. Like I know how to read a slit lamp report but also see dosha imbalance in patient’s eye itself. Kinda bridging both ends. Understanding pathology from both view has helped me treat more clearly and choose right kriyakalpa in tricky cases. I keep learning thru exp not just books.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with a BAMS degree and yeah I kinda always leaned toward more focused stuff, which led me into Netra Chikitsa. That’s where my curiosity kicked in real hard. I got specialized training under CRAV – and trust me, that exposure changed a lot for me... like seeing how deep Ayurvedic ophthalmology actually goes. Ocular disorders are tricky. People usually come late, or after trying diff things. And ayurveda’s not always seen as a first step, which I get. But I’ve worked with patients having dry eye, conjunctivitis, progressive vision troubles – and when we apply the right chikitsa, with proper snehana, netra tarpana, sometimes even virechana in combo, you do see shifts. Not miracles – just... betterment that lasts. Clinical side is where I feel more alive tbh. Working with people face to face, figuring out what they’re not saying, watching how prakriti shows up in the eyes (literally and figuratively). I try not to rush diagnosis. Even if it’s repetitive or chronic, I sit with it. Listen. I also enjoy reading up on newer research coming from Ayurvedic studies, even if not everything always aligns with classical texts. Doesn’t hurt to stay open. And yeah – I’ve got a fair hand at combining research methods with traditional protocols. Like, I like doing both when possible – not just because I want to “prove” Ayurveda, but because patients deserve the best of what we know. If I had to describe my way of working… maybe it’s slow, steady and kinda nerdy. I like breaking things down. Even simple netra kriyas, they have depth. I also keep notes, maybe too many lol, but they help track what’s working, where we’re repeating patterns. At the end, I want to keep learning, but more than that, I want to keep serving. In a way that’s true to the science I studied, and true to the ppl who trust me with their health... esp their eyes, coz vision deserves better attention than we give it.
