Eczema and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory skin disorders characterized by itching, redness, scaling, and discomfort. Ayurveda views these skin conditions as imbalances mainly involving the Pitta and Kapha doshas, often aggravated by toxins (Ama) and stress. Ayurvedic treatment aims to restore dosha balance, cleanse the body of impurities, and nourish the skin from both inside and out for lasting relief and healthier skin.

Skin Disorders (Eczema & Psoriasis) and Ayurveda: Natural Healing for Radiant Skin

Introduction

Skin Disorders (Eczema & Psoriasis) and Ayurveda: Natural Healing for Radiant Skin

Eczema and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory skin disorders characterized by itching, redness, scaling, and discomfort. Ayurveda views these skin conditions as imbalances mainly involving the Pitta and Kapha doshas, often aggravated by toxins (Ama) and stress. Ayurvedic treatment aims to restore dosha balance, cleanse the body of impurities, and nourish the skin from both inside and out for lasting relief and healthier skin.

Symptoms of Eczema & Psoriasis

  • Persistent itching and irritation

  • Red, inflamed patches of skin

  • Dryness and scaling in affected areas

  • Thickened skin and plaque formation (common in psoriasis)

  • Blisters and oozing in eczema flare-ups

  • Skin discoloration and rough texture

Causes of Skin Disorders in Ayurveda

  • Imbalance of Pitta Dosha causing inflammation and heat in the skin

  • Aggravated Kapha Dosha leading to fluid retention, heaviness, and sluggishness

  • Accumulation of Ama (toxins) from poor digestion

  • Emotional stress triggering dosha disturbances

  • Improper diet rich in oily, spicy, and processed foods

  • Environmental allergens and toxins

Ayurvedic Treatments for Eczema & Psoriasis

Ayurveda offers holistic therapies including:

Detoxification (Panchakarma)

  • Virechana (therapeutic purgation): Cleanses excess Pitta and toxins

  • Raktamokshana (bloodletting): Removes vitiated blood impurities in severe cases

  • Abhyanga and Swedana: Oil massage and steam therapy to soothe and hydrate skin

Herbal Remedies

  • Neem: Potent antibacterial and antifungal properties for skin purification

  • Turmeric: Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant aiding skin healing

  • Manjistha: Blood purifier that detoxifies skin and reduces pigmentation

  • Khadira: Balances Kapha and Pitta, reduces scaling and redness

  • Guggulu: Anti-inflammatory and reduces skin thickening in psoriasis

Topical Applications

  • Use medicated oils like Winsoria Oil to reduce itching, scaling, and redness

  • Herbal pastes and creams based on turmeric, neem, and sandalwood

Lifestyle Changes to Manage Skin Disorders

  • Follow a cooling, Pitta-pacifying diet avoiding spicy, fried, and fermented foods

  • Manage stress through meditation, yoga, and Pranayama

  • Maintain regular sleep and avoid irregular routines

  • Keep skin moist with natural oils like coconut or sesame
