The skin is not just our body’s protective layer — it reflects our internal health and balance. At Ayurvedamritham Health Centre, we approach skin ailments through the time-tested lens of Ayurveda, offering holistic, root-cause-focused treatments for chronic and acute skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, fungal infections, acne, urticaria, and more.

If you’re seeking lasting, natural relief without the side effects of steroids or antibiotics, Ayurveda provides a comprehensive path to skin wellness. This page offers a general overview of common skin disorders and Ayurvedic solutions. For deeper insights, you’ll find links to detailed blog posts about each condition.

Common Skin Diseases Treated at Ayurvedamritham
We specialize in the Ayurvedic treatment of a variety of skin disorders, including:
• Eczema (Vicharchika)
• Psoriasis (Kitibha)
• Urticaria (Sheetapitta)
• Acne (Yauvan Pidika)
• Fungal infections (Dadru)
• Hyperpigmentation and Melasma (Vyanga)
• Dry Skin and Itching (Kandu, Twak Rukshata)
• Allergic Dermatitis and Chronic Rashes

These conditions can be stubborn, emotionally distressing, and often resistant to conventional treatment. Ayurveda takes a different route — one that corrects internal imbalances to achieve external healing.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Skin Ailments
In Ayurveda, skin disorders are classified under the broad term “Kushta Roga”, which can manifest due to imbalances in the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — and the accumulation of Ama (toxins) in the blood and tissues.
• Pitta imbalance (fire element) is often the root cause of inflammatory skin issues like eczema, urticaria, and psoriasis.
• Kapha imbalance contributes to fungal infections, oily skin, and chronic dull rashes.
• Vata imbalance leads to dry, scaly, or cracked skin, often seen in conditions like ichthyosis or severe eczema.
The disruption of Agni (digestive fire) and poor lifestyle habits contribute to toxin build-up, which gets deposited in the Rakta dhatu (blood tissue) and Twacha (skin), leading to persistent skin issues.

Symptoms of Skin Conditions
While symptoms vary across conditions, some common manifestations include:
• Redness, itching, or burning
• Dry, scaly patches or oozing lesions
• White or silvery plaques (as seen in psoriasis)
• Hyperpigmentation or dark spots
• Recurring flare-ups during seasonal changes
• Thickened or discolored skin over time
Ayurveda doesn’t treat these merely as surface-level concerns. It seeks to cleanse the system, restore dosha balance, and support natural skin regeneration.

2. Internal Medications (Shamana Chikitsa)
