Yes, they trust the treatment. And they also feel great that we have Ayurveda to remedy diseases that the western medicine cannot.

Since I am still a student and not a practitioner, So the experience is only beginning to unfold. I have been seen so many challenging cases successfully treated by my teachers.

Any out of ordinary situation that you have faced during the treatment of a patient?

Yes, many a time a situation comes when we hardly have the medicine that the patient requires. At that time, managing the patient is always an extraordinary call of duty.

Do you think Nirogstreet is making a difference by striving to connect Ayurveda practitioners through dedicated technology platforms?

Nirogstreet is really a sui generis platform and the nirogstreet for Ayurveda doctors app is a good effort toward community building and learning. To connect with doctors all over India is a great concept and the need of the hour. In the app, I have read so many different views of different doctors about the same disease. And I have given my views also. It is nice to learn new treatments from experienced doctors who want to share their expertise for the sake of society and Ayurveda.

Any hobbies or activities you engage in, outside your professional life?

Most of my day is devoted to Ayurveda itself.
