I have gained comprehensive clinical experience through my internship and professional duties, which has laid a strong foundation for my medical practice. During my internship, I worked extensively across multiple departments, including casualty, general medicine, general surgery, and obstetrics & gynecology at the Government District Hospital, Gadag. This exposure allowed me to handle a variety of acute and chronic cases, sharpen my clinical assessment skills, and actively participate in patient management under the guidance of senior medical professionals. Following this, I served as a duty doctor at AYUSH Hospital, Gadag Betgeri, where I applied my Ayurvedic knowledge in a clinical setting and contributed to patient care in both outpatient and inpatient departments. I successfully completed 366 days of rigorous internship training at DGM Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital, Gadag, where I was involved in patient evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning under supervision. My time there allowed me to integrate classical Ayurvedic principles with practical patient care while developing a keen understanding of hospital operations and multidisciplinary collaboration. These experiences have enhanced my ability to handle diverse medical conditions confidently while maintaining a patient-centered approach. I am dedicated to continuing my journey as an Ayurvedic practitioner with the same passion and commitment, focusing on delivering quality, evidence-based, and holistic healthcare.

Excessive heat in the body, especially during summer, can be quite uncomfortable. In Ayurveda, this could be related to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which is associated with fire and heat in the body. Since you've mentioned you're diabetic and have an autoimmune reaction to gluten, it's important to suggest things that accommodate these conditions. To help cool down this excess heat, consider incorporating more cooling foods into your diet. For instance, cucumbers, avocados and coconut water are natural body coolants. You can drink a glass of coconut water daily, its hydrating and cooling properties can balance excess Pitta without affecting blood sugar levels. Diabetics can face unique challenges when trying to implement remedies. Including a bit of aloe vera juice in your morning routine might help as it's inherently cooling and assists in maintaining blood sugar levels. Make sure the aloe vera gel you use is from the inner leaf, as the outer leaf may irritate the digestive system. On your plate, focus on cooked veggies like zucchini and asparagus, which are not only cooling but gentle for digestion. You may want to ditch heavy spices for more cooling ones like coriander and fennel. These spices can be brewed into a tea and sipped throughout the day to mitigate the internal heat. Avoiding gluten is key for you, so consider millets and brown rice as good alternatives. Be wary of visible inflammation triggers such as nightshades that can sometimes aggravate Pitta when overeaten. Ensure you keep your body hydrated—8 to 10 glasses of water (not iced) daily will help regulate temperature. Try to steer clear of caffeine and alcohol, both can lead to an increase in body heat. Lastly, lifestyle tweaks like wearing light, loose-fitting clothing and using fan or air conditioning during peak heat can make a notable difference. Practicing pranayama, specifically Sheetali breath, can draw down excess heat. Always listen to your body, if symptoms intensify or become alarming, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or physician promptly.
