Specialized Treatment for Skin Conditions and Diseases
Skin Problems
Skin problems encompass a wide range of conditions that impact the skin’s appearance, texture, or function. They can vary in severity from mild to severe and affect individuals of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. Common issues include acne, eczema, psoriasis, and skin allergies, often triggered by factors such as genetics, environmental influences, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle choices. Ayurvedic treatments aim to restore balance to the doshas, enhance digestion, and detoxify the body to promote healthier skin.
Acne:
Acne and pimples are common issues among teenagers. According to Ayurveda, inner and outer beauty are interconnected, and achieving a proper balance is essential. These skin problems often arise from clogged pores due to excess oil produced by hormonal changes.
Causes:
Ayurveda recognizes three doshas, or mind-body types: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. When these doshas become imbalanced, it might result in sickness. Acne, in instance, frequently results from imbalances in all three doshas, necessitating a complex therapeutic strategy.
An imbalance in Vata can cause poor digestion and toxic accumulation. Pitta imbalances harm the blood and liver, causing inflammation. Meanwhile, excess Kapha, which regulates sebum production, can clog pores. The combination of poor digestion, toxin accumulation, inflammation, and extra sebum produces an ideal environment for bacterial proliferation, resulting in recurrent acne.
Symptoms
Itching, redness, pain, and the presence of blisters.
Treatment
The doctor assesses each component separately to provide you with the best treatment options, which may include.
Steaming
Steaming Assists in removing blockages in subtle channels, or Srothas; however, it is not recommended in cases of inflammation.
Virechana
Virechana known as medicated purgation, consists of using herbal purgatives that possess bitter, astringent, and sweet qualities to restore balance to Pitta and Rakta (blood dhatu) in the body. This therapeutic approach is effective for addressing inflammation.
Vamana
Vamana treatment involves the oral administration of herbs or medications to induce vomiting, helping to eliminate Srotha blockages from both the facial skin and the entire body.
Nasya
Nasya therapy entails the application of appropriate Ayurvedic herbs and medicines through the nasal cavity to address chronic acne conditions.
Raktamokshana
Raktamokshana is an effective treatment for impaired Rakta dhatu. This therapy purifies stagnant blood, which can lead to pathological changes in the body. Raktamokshana encompasses para-surgical techniques such as bloodletting with leeches, Prachanna Karma, and Siravyadha. These methods enhance tissue microcirculation by removing vitiated and stagnant blood.
Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to addressing acne at its root. Consequently, it recommends not only herbal remedies but also dietary and lifestyle modifications.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a common skin condition that often impacts people aged 15 to 35. This chronic and non-communicable disorder is marked by the rapid growth of skin cells, which usually takes a significant amount of time. As a result, thick, red, itchy, and dry patches develop due to the buildup of dead skin cells.
Symptoms:
Dry patches may develop around the elbows, knees, or scalp, often going unnoticed. However, in severe cases, the condition can spread extensively, affecting a large area of the body.
Causes
The exact cause of the condition is still unknown. However, expert sources suggest that genetic factors and immune responses may play a role in its development.
Psoriasis is marked by an irregular immune response in which the body’s T-cells mistakenly attack healthy skin cells, leading to an overproduction of skin cells. Factors believed to influence the onset of this condition include stress, obesity, smoking, environmental conditions, weakened immune function, and the use of certain medications.
Psoriasis arises from an imbalance between two essential elements of the body, namely the “Vata” and “Kapha” doshas. This disharmony, combined with the presence of toxic substances, leads to skin inflammation triggered by the immune system.
Individuals with psoriasis may face significant health issues, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriatic arthritis, anxiety, and depression. To address the imbalances caused by psoriasis, Ayurveda utilizes.

A paste made from suitable herbs is applied to the affected area.

This method entails massaging the body with herbal powders, which is especially beneficial for rough and thick skin.
Dhupana
Fumigation using specific plants is conducted, especially in conditions dominated by Vata and Kapha.
Parisheka
Warm oils and herbal decoctions are poured over the body to cleanse impurities and promote relaxation.
Avagaha
In Avagaha therapy, the individual sits in warm water infused with therapeutic herbs, targeting larger affected areas of the body.
Allergies:
An allergy is a condition of the immune system marked by an adverse reaction to a typically harmless substance perceived as foreign by the body. Allergens, which can trigger hypersensitivity in some individuals, may include foods, environmental pollutants, medications, and even conditions like temperature fluctuations and specific weather exposure. Consequently, these allergens prompt the body to release histamine as part of the allergic response.
According to Ayurveda, allergies arise from an imbalance among the three Doshas. When these Doshas are misaligned, allergic reactions intensify, and the body struggles to eliminate accumulated toxins due to a compromised immune system. If this condition continues for an extended period, the allergy can develop into a chronic issue.
Ayurvedic remedies prioritize tackling the root cause of allergies rather than just alleviating the symptoms. This unique approach is essential for attaining long-term benefits and thorough relief from various ailments. Ayurveda emphasizes enhancing internal immunity through practices like maintaining a healthy diet, adopting a positive lifestyle, utilizing potent herbs, and undergoing rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapies.
