Can We Drink Water Before Oil Pulling, or Should It Be Done on an Empty Stomach? - #13980

I am a passionate and responsible Ayurvedic doctor, having completed my internship at the renowned VPSV Ayurveda College, Kottakkal, Kerala. My clinical journey has been shaped by the rich traditions of Kerala Ayurveda, where I gained extensive hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating patients with authentic Ayurvedic therapies. I am dedicated to delivering personalized and holistic healthcare, with a focus on preventive medicine and positive lifestyle modification. I actively counsel my patients on achieving optimal health through balanced diet, daily regimen, stress management, and natural therapies. Additionally, I am a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from the Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence, which allows me to integrate meditation and mindfulness techniques into my treatment protocols, promoting mental well-being along with physical health. My approach is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a commitment to empowering patients on their journey towards complete wellness.

With over three years of clinical experience in a neuro-psychiatric hospital, I have developed a deep understanding of mental health and neurological disorders. My work involved supporting patients with a wide range of conditions such as anxiety, depression, psychosis, insomnia, and neurodegenerative diseases, using a combination of traditional Ayurvedic principles and evidence-based care. I take a holistic approach, addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of health, and prioritize personalized therapies that support long-term recovery and emotional well-being. In addition to my neuro-psychiatric work, I have six months of hands-on experience in emergency trauma care, where I was trained to respond quickly and effectively to acute medical situations. This experience strengthened my diagnostic abilities, crisis management skills, and reinforced the importance of timely intervention and integrative support in critical care settings. I also spent over a year in a fertility department, where I worked closely with couples dealing with infertility, menstrual irregularities, hormonal imbalances, and other reproductive health concerns. My focus was on restoring reproductive function using Ayurvedic treatments such as Uttarabasti, Rasayana therapy, and lifestyle modifications, always guided by the patient’s unique prakriti and health history. These diverse clinical experiences have shaped my practice into one that is compassionate, detail-oriented, and grounded in both tradition and clinical precision. Whether treating neurological concerns, supporting fertility, or responding to acute trauma, I am committed to offering ethical, individualized, and effective care that promotes lasting wellness.
