Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | Sri Venkateshwara Ayurvedic College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working with cases that involve anorectal disorders like piles, fissure, fistula, where patients often come after years of discomfort or delay. In such conditions I use para-surgical methods like Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma and Siravyadana, which Ayurveda describe as safe and effective alternatives to conventional surgery. These techniques require care and consistency but they usually help avoid major invasive procedure.
Alongside that, I also practice different Panchakarma techniques—from detoxifying basti and virechana to local therapies—that support recovery and improve long term balance. My work extends to skin diseases, ulcers, wound management, as well as urological disorders like renal calculi, BPH or urethral strictures, where Ayurveda gives gentle yet effective solutions.
I use Agnikarma not just for pain relief but also for corns, warts and musculoskeletal problems. In osteoarthritis for example, herbal oil treatments, Agnikarma and lifestyle advice together can reduce inflamation, stiffness and improve mobility. Each patient responds differently, and I keep adjusting treatments instead of following fixed protocal.
For me specialization means looking at patient as whole person, not only disease. Even small shifts in daily routine or diet can support what therapies are doing. That is why I try to design care that feels practical, personal, and sustainable over long run. |
Achievements: | I am grateful that during my UG years I secured 1st rank and was honored with the Jivaka Award, along with a Gold Medal from IMA which felt like a big encouragement at that time. Now in my postgraduation in Shalya Tantra I again managed to hold a top position in the 1st year, though honestly the work is much more intense and challanging. I also presented my clinical study at VAPCON, where it received 2nd place—small step but meaningful for me in academic journey!! |
I am working in the field of Ayurveda with special focus on surgical and para-surgical management, something that many people don’t usually expect Ayurveda to handle. Over the past 3 years and 7 months I gained clinical experience especially in anorectal disorders like piles, fissures and fistula, which often trouble patients silently until they become unbearable. These are conditions where Ayurveda offers very effective approaches, not only through medicines but also through para-surgical procedures. One such method is Ksharasutra therapy, a technique I practiced regularly, where medicated thread is used to treat fistula-in-ano and other chronic conditions. It is minimally invasive but require patience, regular follow up, and careful application. Similarly, I trained in Agnikarma, which uses controlled thermal cauterization for pain relief and management of small surgical conditions. Both of these methods are rooted in classical Ayurveda but highly relevant in modern surgical practice too. Alongside that, I also worked with various Panchakarma procedures—oleation, sudation, basti, virechana etc.—that support recovery, reduce inflammation and restore balance in patients undergoing surgical or para-surgical care. Many times, Panchakarma is not just therapy by itself but a preparatory or supportive process that makes outcomes more effective. Currently I am pursuing postgraduation in Shalya Tantra, the Ayurvedic branch of surgery. This allows me to deepen my understanding of both operative and para-operative techniques, while also staying rooted in the holistic principles of Ayurveda. It’s demanding, balancing study and practice, but it keeps me constantly improving. For me surgery in Ayurveda is not only about removing disease but about restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life without unnecessary complications. Each patient is different, and the treatment plan always need adjustment—it is never copy paste medicine. That is something I keep learning again and agian.
