Skin Disorders – Chronic Skin Imbalance, Naturally Treatable
What are Skin Disorders?
Skin disorders include a wide range of conditions that affect the skin’s appearance, texture, and function. These may present as itching, rashes, dryness, pigmentation, or recurrent infections. Skin conditions can be acute or chronic and often reflect internal imbalances in digestion, blood purity, and immunity.
In Ayurveda, skin disorders are collectively known as Kushta, caused by imbalance of Pitta, Kapha, and Vata doshas, along with impurity of Rakta dhatu (blood).
Symptoms of Skin Disorders
Symptoms vary depending on the condition but commonly include:
Itching or burning sensation
Rashes, redness, or inflammation
Dryness or excessive oiliness
Discoloration or pigmentation
Scaling, roughness, or thickened skin
Recurrent skin infections or delayed healing
Causes and Risk Factors
Skin disorders may be caused by:
Poor digestion and toxin accumulation
Unhealthy diet (spicy, oily, fermented foods)
Stress and lack of sleep
Allergies and environmental factors
Hormonal imbalance

According to Ayurveda, when toxins accumulate in the blood and doshas become imbalanced, they manifest through the skin.

Drink adequate warm water
Maintain good personal hygiene
Reduce stress through yoga and meditation
