Skin problems — including eczema, dermatitis, acne, rashes, and chronic itching — often reflect deeper internal imbalances. At Ayurom, Dr. Dharmendra Dube treats skin conditions from the inside out, addressing root causes in the blood, liver, and digestive system rather than just applying topical solutions.
The Ayurvedic Skin Approach
Ayurveda classifies skin diseases under Kushtha — a broad category encompassing all skin conditions. These arise from impurities in Rakta (blood), impaired liver function, accumulation of ama (toxins), and dosha imbalances. The skin is considered a mirror of internal health.
Treatment Protocol
- Rakta Shodhana: Blood purification through herbal medicines (Manjishtha, Sariva, Neem, Khadir) and in some cases, therapeutic bloodletting (Raktamokshana) for severe conditions.
- Internal Detoxification: Herbal detox protocols focused on eliminating excess Pitta and purifying the blood and liver — the root approach for lasting skin health.
- Internal Medicines: Customized formulations based on the specific condition — Mahamanjishthadi Kwath, Khadirarishta, Arogyavardhini Vati, and Gandhak Rasayana.
- External Applications: Medicated oils, lepa (herbal pastes), and specialized ointments using Neem, Turmeric, Chandana, and Bakuchi.
- Dietary Changes: Elimination of trigger foods (dairy, refined sugar, fermented foods) and inclusion of blood-purifying foods and herbs.
Healing Timeline
Skin conditions require patience, but Ayurvedic treatment delivers lasting results. Most patients see visible improvement within 4-6 weeks, with progressive healing over 2-3 months. Unlike steroid creams that thin the skin and cause dependency, Ayurvedic treatment strengthens skin health from within.
