Ayurvedic Treatment for Skin Disorders (Kustha Roga)

Heal Skin Naturally • Purify Blood • Restore Inner Balance

The skin is not just the body’s protective layer but also a mirror of inner health. Skin problems like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, fungal infections, vitiligo, and acne often indicate deeper imbalances in digestion, immunity, and metabolism.

In Ayurveda, all skin diseases are grouped under the term Kustha Roga, which includes both minor (Kshudra Kustha) and major (Maha Kustha) categories. These conditions are caused by an imbalance of the three doshas (Vāta, Pitta, Kapha), poor digestion (Mandagni), and the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the blood and skin tissues.

At Vedayu Wellness Ayurvedic Hospital, we focus on root-cause healing by detoxifying the body, purifying blood, balancing doshas, and nourishing skin tissues through Panchakarma therapies, Rasayana (rejuvenation), herbal medicines, diet, and lifestyle corrections.

 

Common Skin Disorders We Treat

  • Psoriasis (Kitibha Kustha): Dry, scaly patches with itching and burning sensation.
  • Eczema (Vicharchika): Red, inflamed, itchy skin often linked to Pitta-Kapha imbalance.
  • Vitiligo / Leucoderma (Shvitra): White patches due to loss of pigmentation.
  • Acne & Pimples (Yuvan Pidika): Caused by excess Pitta, hormonal imbalance, and impure blood.
  • Fungal & Bacterial Infections (Dadru, Charmadala): Itching, oozing, or spreading lesions.
  • Urticaria & Allergies (Sheetapitta): Hives, rashes, and allergic flare-ups.
  • Chronic Dermatitis: Recurrent redness, itching, and dryness.

 

Ayurveda’s Understanding of Kustha Roga

  • Root Causes:

    • Dosha Imbalance:
      • Pitta → Causes inflammation, redness, burning, pus formation.
      • Kapha → Leads to itching, scaling, thick lesions.
      • Vāta → Causes dryness, roughness, blackish discoloration.
    • Mandagni (Weak digestion): Produces Ama (toxins) that circulate in blood and deposit in skin tissues.
    • Viruddha Ahara (Wrong food combinations): Like milk with fish, sour with dairy, or excessive junk food.
    • Lifestyle Factors: Stress, irregular sleep, exposure to chemicals, pollution.

    Pathogenesis (Samprapti):

    Weak digestion → Ama formation → vitiation of doshas → circulation of toxins → obstruction in skin channels (Rakta & Mamsa Dhatu) → skin disease manifestation.
