I am practicing Ayurveda for more than 30 years now, mostly with people who're dealing with skin issues or gastric-type problems—like long-standing acne, eczema, chronic gastritis, hyperacidity, food allergies, & other things that just keep flaring up. Many of them come after trying different stuff, sometimes allopathic, sometimes home remedies... but no stable relief. I try to keep things simple. Just follow the basics of Ayurveda—understand why that imbalance is happening and fix it from there. One patient might need diet cleanup, another might need specific herbs, someone else might actually just need to stop skipping meals or sleeping late. It's always case by case. I don’t use big packages or “one fits all” methods. Never liked that approach, it doesn’t work in long term. I mostly rely on classical Ayurvedic medicines, adjust the ahara & vihara where needed, and give enough time to track progress. When someone really follows through... results show. Even ppl who’d almost given up on skin or stomach issues get back a better rhythm. Honestly, I’ve seen how often things are connected—digestion messing up the skin or poor eating triggering mood & immunity both. These small internal things matter way more than ppl realise. And I still believe Ayurveda works best when it’s done without overcomplicating. No fancy detox unless needed, no unnecessary panic. Just the right nudge in the right direction. That’s what I keep doing, day after day, trying to make ppl feel better without pushing them into harsh treatments or side effects. It takes patience, for sure, but it’s worth it.

I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.
