She is the daughter of late Kunjahammed Vaidyar, a traditional healer of snakebites. Aysha had the fortune to be with her father while he gathered herbs for preparing the medicines. This on-the-job training coupled with the treasure from rare medicinal manuscripts have made her what she is today.

Seeing the impression of the fangs, she is able to determine the type of snake that has bit the patient. Treatment then follows logically. She refers to the Medical College only those cases which she feels is beyond her ability. More often than not such patients do not reach the hospital alive. However, many who have been discharged by the hospitals as beyond hope, have been saved by her medicine. "This is not my ability but an entrustment by the Lord, " she feels.

Although she has saved so many patients, she remembers the case of 16-year-old Babu from Nilambur, who was bitten by the rattle snake around 6 am and discharged from the Manjeri Hospital at 8 pm. When he was brought to her at 12 midnight, Babu was just hanging on to consciousness. The body was swollen and blood appeared to ooze with the slightest pressure on the body. Although her family members discouraged against treating such a hopeless case, she persisted. After administering the medicine, she kept vigil till the morning. By 5 am he urinated and with that the crisis was over. Even now Babu visits her every year as a token of gratitude and love.

She cultivates rare herbs at home for preparing the medicines. She has firmely resolved not to commercialise this gift of God. Aysha has 7 children, of whom the eldest, Showkath, helps his mother in the healings.

She is at present engaged in translating rare Arabi-Malayalam manuscripts on snake bite into modern Malayalam
