Ayurvedic Treatment for Skin Disorders at Sujivan Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, skin diseases are collectively known as Kushta and are understood to arise from dosha imbalances (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), poor digestion, weak immunity, and accumulation of Ama (toxins). At Sujivan Ayurveda, skin disorders are treated by correcting these root causes rather than only suppressing external symptoms.

Ayurvedic skin care combines internal purification, herbal medicines, and external therapies to restore healthy, clear, and balanced skin.

Skin Disorders Treated in Ayurveda

• Psoriasis (Kitibha) – Thick, red, scaly patches caused by immune and Pitta imbalance

• Eczema (Vicharchika) – Dry, itchy, inflamed skin linked to Vata–Kapha imbalance

• Acne (Yauvana Pidaka) – Pimples due to excess oil, toxins, and Pitta aggravation

• Vitiligo / Leucoderma (Shwitra) – Pigmentation disorder managed with immune-modulating therapies
