Ayurvedic Treatment of Skin Diseases

Ayurveda is a very ancient science of India that treats both the symptoms and the root cause of various skin diseases. According to Ayurveda, the skin has six layers, located not only on the external surfaces but also internally. A skin disease usually originates from the deeper skin tissue, called the dermis. Since grave skin diseases require oral medicine along with external applications, treating the root cause is essential for complete healing. Ayurveda aims to eliminate the underlying factors causing skin diseases rather than just managing surface symptoms.

Causes of Skin Diseases

According to Ayurveda, the two main causes of skin diseases are an improper lifestyle and an unhealthy diet, followed knowingly or unknowingly. A diet that contradicts a person's natural Prakriti (constitution) leads to imbalances in bodily energies, causing skin conditions such as allergies, eczema, urticaria, and other dermatological problems.The primary dosha responsible for skin diseases is Pitta. Pitta represents heat and fire. Foods rich in Pitta can increase the fire element in the body, aggravating skin diseases. Eliminating high-Pitta foods such as tomatoes, yogurt, citrus fruits, oily, spicy, and greasy foods can help prevent and manage skin conditions.

Types of Skin Diseases

• Allergy
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Hives
• Acne
• Moles
• Measles
• Cold sores

Some severe skin diseases such as skin cancer, herpes, and canker sores are caused by deeper systemic imbalances, infections, or viral and bacterial exposure.

Ayurvedic Remedies for Skin Diseases

Ayurveda focuses on eliminating the root cause of skin diseases. Some simple home remedies include:

• Neem Leaves: Consuming neem leaves on an empty stomach in the morning helps purify the blood.
• Coconut Oil & Camphor: Applying a mixture of coconut oil and camphor to the affected area soothes inflammation.
• Apricot Juice: Fresh apricot juice can be applied to the skin for relief.
• Wheatgrass Juice: Drinking wheatgrass juice boosts immunity and promotes healing.
• Aloe Vera Gel: Consuming 2-3 teaspoons of aloe vera gel on an empty stomach helps cure allergies and skin diseases.

Note: Before using these remedies, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or a medical astrologer for proper guidance.

Medical Astrology and Skin Diseases

Astrology is a combination of mundane and spiritual knowledge. According to medical astrology, each body part is associated with different planets. For example, the upper body, including the face and chest, is ruled by the Ascendant or Taurus. Sometimes, skin diseases occur despite a balanced diet due to the influence of malefic planetary positions in an individual's birth chart.

Planets and Their Influence on Skin Diseases

• Mercury & Jupiter afflicted by Rahu → Causes various skin diseases.
• Weak or afflicted Venus → Leads to dull skin and beauty deterioration.
• Underactive Saturn → Triggers eczema, excessive moisture, blisters, and pustules.
• Ill-placed Mars → Causes boils and rashes.
• Malefic Venus → Leads to skin dullness and texture loss.

Note: These planetary influences are general indicators. A detailed analysis of an individual's birth chart is required to determine the exact cause and remedy for skin diseases. Depending on the ascendant and zodiac sign, different gemstones and planetary remedies may be recommended. For example, in some cases, Emerald (Panna) gemstone is prescribed, while in others, an entirely different remedy is needed.
