Skin is the largest organ of the human body and reflects the internal health of an individual. Skin diseases not only affect appearance but also cause discomfort, emotional stress, and can lead to chronic issues if not treated properly. Common skin problems include acne, eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, and fungal infections.
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, views skin disorders as an imbalance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on purifying the blood, correcting digestion, and using herbal remedies and Panchakarma therapies for long-lasting relief.
Common Skin Diseases Treated in Ayurveda:
- Acne (Yuvan Pidika): Common in adolescents and linked with hormonal changes and oily skin.
- Eczema (Vicharchika): Chronic skin inflammation with itching, redness, and flaking.
- Psoriasis (Kitibha): Autoimmune skin condition with thick, scaly patches.
- Urticaria (Sheetapitta): Sudden itchy rashes due to allergic reactions.
- Fungal Infections (Dadru): Caused by humidity and poor hygiene.
- Hyperpigmentation (Vyanga): Dark patches due to excess melanin.
Causes of Skin Diseases (According to Ayurveda):
- Excessive intake of spicy, oily, or junk food
- Poor digestion and constipation
- Exposure to heat and sun
- Stress and irregular sleep
- Use of chemical cosmetics
- Hormonal imbalance
- Poor hygiene
Ayurvedic Approach to Skin Disease Treatment
Ayurveda believes that most skin diseases originate from an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism. When Pitta is aggravated, it leads to toxins (Ama) accumulation in the blood, resulting in skin disorders.
