Skin is the first line of internal defence against everything external and also reflects our well-being. Skin diseases affect everyone: from neonates to old people. Eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, urticaria etc., are the most common skin ailments which are chronic impacting daily life. Hence, an effective treatment with minimal side effects and without relapse or recurrence of the disease is necessary. Ayurveda, an age old science, describes the cause of skin diseases as vitiation of doshas and dhatus and has elaborate information on how to tackle them.

Eczema

Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease. The pathology involves in an increased level of IgE antibodies (Immunoglobulin E) in the body, suggesting an allergic reaction. Eczema is characterized by dermal tissue inflammation, itching, skin peeling/flaking, redness, and a mild burning sensation. It may be associated with oozing, itching. In Ayurveda, Vicharchika which is similar to the symptoms of Eczema, occurs mainly due to vitiation of kapha dosha in rasa, rakta dhatus.

At Radhakrishna Ayurvedic Hospital, the treatment to Eczema is given through holistic approach without any side effects.

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is characterized by hypo-pigmentation of the skin. It is a chronic auto-immune disorder. The white (hypopigmented) patches can occur in any region from scalp to the toe. The hair follices near the lesion can also turn white in color. Vitiligo causes cosmetic disfigurement resulting in low esteem in the patients. Very few options are available in modern medicine for the treatment. The signs and symptoms according to Ayurveda are similar to Svitra.
