Education: | PDEA'S College of Ayurveda and Research Centre Akurdi Pune |
Academic degree: | Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly focused on treating children using Ayurvedic line of thought – and yah, that too without needing antibiotics all the time. I believe recovery doesn’t have to take forever if we hit the right spot early... like, finding the root cause before jumping into 10 meds. I usually guide parents in modifying small daily things – food habits, sleep time, screen stuff, digestion, all that. And kids respond fast if you do it right. Honestly, I prefer diet charts over drug charts. Doesn’t mean no meds at all, but I avoid unnecessary ones. In most cases, immunity can be nudged gently into place rather than forced. I try to finish most cases in a tighter timeline (parents usually come stressed out, n who can blame them). Whether it’s chronic cold, low weight or random digestion mess – there’s usually a solution hiding in plain sight, you just gotta look proper and not rush. |
Achievements: | I am into research too—published articles on Erbs Palsy in kids n one more on childhood obesity (which is turning into a major issue now, btw). Both topics kind of stuck with me during cases I was handling, and I felt like they needed more Ayurvedic insight than what was already out there. It’s not all big or fancy, but being part of that process—collecting data, seeing patterns—it really helped sharpen how I treat now. |
I am a pediatrician working in Ayurveda since the last 8+ yrs. I did my masters in Kaumarbhritya (Ayurvedic pediatrics & neonatology) from MUHS Nasik, and honestly, that whole phase of study made me look at child health in a very diff way. I mean, kids are not just smaller adults... their agni, doshas, immunity (ojas) – all work diff and change super fast. And if we catch imbalances early, we can prevent sooo much future disease. That’s what keeps me drawn to this field again n again. I’ve been treating conditions like recurrent cough, digestive issues, low weight, delayed milestones, worm infestations, even stuff like hyperactive behaviour n sleep trouble. Some kids get better quickly, others need time n small course corrections. I like to work close with parents — answer all the “why’s” they bring, explain every step if I can. Sometimes they ask the same q’s multiple times, but I get it... they’re worried. I would be too. My core focus stays around strengthening immunity, gut health, and supporting proper development — both physical n mental. I use classical herbs, lehan, swarna prashan, and yes... lot of diet tweaking, too. I don’t believe in rushing or blindly copying textbook plans. Each child reacts diff. Ayurveda teaches you that if you listen well. I also work in rural setups sometimes, and tbh, the satisfaction there is just... something else. Fewer resources, more trust, more responsibility. Keeps me grounded. This work’s not flashy, but it’s real. And if the baby smiles, eats, sleeps, and the parents start sleeping again too... I know we’re on the right path.
