Dr. Ann Mariya Raphel
Experience: | 6 years |
Education: | Alvas Ayurvedic Medical College |
Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am a BAMS doctor with a solid base in classical Ayurveda, and tbh I’ve always leaned toward a more integrated way of looking at health. I also went on to do PG diplomas in both cosmetology (more skin+hair focused stuff) and diet + diabetology—which kind of pulled all my core interests into one space. I mostly work with cases where things overlap—like acne with gut issues, hairfall that’s stress+PCOS related, or weight gain tied to metabolic sluggishness or insulin resistance.
My day-to-day practice usually involves a mix of Ayurvedic therapies (yep, including detox if needed), internal meds, skin/hair care plans, and a good bit of food-related tweaks too—people often don’t realize how tightly diet ties into skin or sugar levels. I like putting together protocols that aren’t just short term but actually make sense for the person’s lifestyle. Sometimes that’s herbs, sometimes it’s sleep timing... depends.
I do see a lot of patients for chronic dermatological concerns and diabetes care, especially when they’re tired of suppressive stuff and want long term fix. |
Achievements: | I am trained in Ayurveda but yeah—holding postgrad diplomas in both cosmetology and diet+diabetology really helped sharpen how I handle things, esp when a case needs skin + metabolic attention both. I kind of ended up blending my Ayurvedic base with modern clinical cues, not like forcefully or anything, it just... made sense. Whether it’s a pigmentation issue tied to insulin spikes or chronic dandruff from gut heat, this integrative way lets me connect dots faster n work more usefully. |
I am Dr. Ann Mariya Raphel, BAMS grad and a postgrad Ayurvedic consultant with little over 5 yrs of clinical work behind me, tho honestly it doesn’t feel that long when you're this into it. My main zones of focus? That’d be Ayurvedic cosmetology, skin and hair health, dietetics, diabetes care, and pretty much anything that ties into lifestyle medicine. I work a lot with chronic skin stuff—psoriasis, pigmentation, acne that just won’t quit—plus cases where weight, stress, or sugar levels keep playing havoc with people’s systems. I’m certified in Ayurvedic skin care, too, which kinda gives me this dual lens—outside+inside—when I treat skin. It’s not just about creams or face packs, right? We’re working with internal fire, digestion, hormones... all that. So I usually design individualised regimens that may include herbs, detox, food corrections, and external therapies—like Mukhalepa or Takradhara if needed. And yeah, sometimes people come in for weight loss or sugar control, but once we dig in, it’s really about whole-body balance. That’s where Ayurveda shines. As a lifestyle physician, I don’t just chase symptoms. That’s not my thing. I spend a good amt of time figuring triggers—stress, food timings, screen exposure, gut stuff. My plans often combine traditional Ayurvedic principles with a few modern basics too—like I won’t skip lab values or pathology just bcoz it isn’t mentioned in Charaka. Balance, right? I do stay active with current clinical reseach and trainings—it’s kinda necessary in cosmetology where new things keep popping up and old ones keep proving their worth too. My goal’s pretty straightforward—help people get back their confidence and energy, using therapies that actually sync with their body type and daily life, not just trendy fads or harsh fixes. If it takes time, that’s okay. Healing does, sometimes.
