Ayurvedic Treatment For Skin Problems

A skin disease is often rooted deeply in various underlying tissues like fat, blood and muscles. Most skin therapies are only external applications like creams or oils and addressing the localised inflammation and/ or irritation. However, these never touch the root of the problem and thereby, the traits vanish temporarily, and the disease is not rooted out permanently.

Ayurveda says that the skin has six layers, from epidermis to subcutaneous tissue and identifies 18 types of pathologies for skin disease (known as Kushta) according to the doshas involved and the layers and regions of the skin affected.

Symptoms of Skin Problems:

Skin conditions have a wide range of symptoms. Conditions that irritate skin can cause symptoms such as burning, swelling, redness, and itching. Acne can affect appearance and confidence. Infections on the skin can be painful or itchy. Skin irregularities such as red/white bumps, scaly/rough skin, rashes, ulcers, open sores, cracked skin, oozing, discharge, discolourations, etc also develop with skin diseases.
