My journey

Hello, being an Engineer I was settled in my own business, attracted to Acupuncture after witnessing its miraculous results.

When I started learning Acupuncture Science there was no formal education available in India. So, I started my educational journey in China. I completed the certification in acupuncture from the  Academy of TCM, Beijing, China. My desire and curiosity made me study further in Sri Lanka, Russia, Singapore, etc. I obtained a doctorate in Acupuncture. 

Along with Acupuncture, I mastered Auriculotherapy, SCALP, Tung Acupuncture, Tan Balance method, Sujok, Acupressure, Tuina, Cupping, Moxibustion, Bloodletting, Plum Blossom Therapy, Amma Therapy, Guasha, Neuro Therapy, Yoga-Pranayama, Naturopathy, etc. 

"Laser Acupuncture" was the most advanced technology in the Acupuncture which was only available in Europe. I am a certified Laser Practitioner from Germany and further studied in France, Austria, Greece, etc. 

After a deep understanding of the subject, I felt that this knowledge should be spread and utilized by those who are suffering. I started my practice and developed my expertise in difficult cases. Modern medicine practitioners started referring patients to this therapy after witnessing its results. 

I pioneered the Classical approach of Chinese Acupuncture in India, wherein the root cause of the ailment is addressed for a complete cure and to avoid recurrence.

I have a specialization in Acupuncture and Laser Acupuncture for Infertility and Stroke Rehabilitation. My knowledge and experience have made hundreds of couples into happy parents. I also run a stroke rehabilitation program wherein many stroke and sequel patients are benefited and become independent or their dependency is reduced. 

These cases helped me in the research field. My research paper on “Infertility Treatments In Acupuncture” was well admired at the International Conferences held in Colombo, Sri Lanka in November 2013, and in Prague, the Czech Republic in October 2014. I have been rewarded a membership in 'International PSY Academy’

I have a Laser Acupuncture setup in my clinic in Mumbai. It was India's first Laser Acupuncture treatment setup. I follow a holistic approach to treatment consisting of therapy, counseling, and recommendations for lifestyle and dietary corrections. All those who had the privilege of receiving the treatment and witnessing the skill can vouch for expertise.

In my practice I witnessed the importance of root cause treatment diagnosis and treatments are effective and such training was not available so I started the school of Acupuncture where I started teaching Classical Acupuncture and other ancillary methods - the only kind of school in India. 

I started teaching the Acupuncture subject when the Vocational Board of Maharashtra, MITCON appointed me for the Acupuncture curriculum. This is a government institute - a self-employment platform for students in Maharashtra.

When I started teaching, the study material was not easily available in India, so I started writing the books, and students were attracted more towards the subject and they found the language is simple and understandable. This inspired me to write more. I have written more than 20 books on Acupuncture. and still writing...

When I wrote my first book no publisher was ready to publish my book. So, I started a publishing house to print and publish my books and later extended this facility to new authors. Today I am proud that my books are sold internationally. My book is on display at the Gallery of GLEM, the renowned institute for Auriculotherapy in Lyon, France.

All the books are available on www.tcmPanacea.in and Kindle. 

Today plenty of books are available, still students and practitioners still give preference to my books as it has enormous case studies that make them understand the subject truly.

In recent years Acupuncture Council has been formed in Maharashtra. Colleges are started and acupuncture is been implemented in the curriculum. I was appointed as a member of the syllabus committee by the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik (MUHS) for the Acupuncture diploma and degree courses. 

In this journey, I found a lack of awareness towards health and lifestyle corrections. So, I started writing the articles to reach out to the masses. Later, through the blogs, I started my new writing journey. In the blogs, I always try to simplify the subject and try to address "Why” and "What". e.g., why the corrections are necessary to rule out certain conditions or what is to be done. I spread lifestyle correction tips through diet or some simple acupuncture points. I am getting a great response from readers which makes me feel more charged up to write more blogs...

Stay tuned for more upcoming blogs...

Happy Reading!
