Skin and Ayurveda

Ayurveda looks at the skin for signs of ill-health. So, for good skin, one must have overall good health. Eating a well-balanced diet, drinking enough water, sleeping well, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle benefits the skin. When the digestion is poor there are metabolic wastes called Ama generated that can also degrade the brightness of the skin. Dosha imbalances can cause skin issues. So, digestion and balanced Doshas are also important for skin health. Skin problems are treated with specific Ayurvedic medication.
Tvak (Skin) is just like a mirror reflection and manifests various types of inner abnormality or diseased condition. From Ayurveda’s perspective, skin-disrupting toxins arise from excess rakta dhatu (blood tissue), which together with rasa dhatu (plasma) nourishes the skin. Rakta dhatu becomes imbalanced when we ingest heating foods, imbibe alcohol or other liver irritants, endure intense sun exposure, work excessively, or experience intense negative emotions. Basically, anything that has the attributes of the pitta dosha. Not surprisingly, pitta-dominant individuals experience more skin diseases than vatas or kaphas because pitta tends to overheat the blood. In contrast, when rasa and rakta dhatus are well balanced, the skin is smooth, moist, and glowing.

Though skin conditions are largely pittic in origin, they can be characterized by an imbalance in any of the doshas. In general, any remedy you apply to the skin should counter the dominant qualities of the dosha involved.

• Pitta skin conditions are distinguished by redness, swelling, and infection. 

• Vata manifests as dry, scaly, itchy skin. 

• Kapha skin conditions show up as oozing or weepy rashes. 

• Indian madder ( Manjistha) for elevating the condition of the skin tone to give it a natural radiance. 

• Chandan ( Sandalwood ) to reduce dull spots and boost the skin with a healthy shine .

• Oudh ( Agarwood) to cleanse and nourish the skin.

• Turmeric for repairing pigmentation, uneven skin tone and marks. 

 

Skin Health - Overview

A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle keep the skin healthy. Skin problems are treated symptomatically to relieve symptoms. Infections are treated with antiinfectives and autoimmune-related skin issues cannot be cured but only managed. 

The largest organ in the body, the skin, is sometimes said to be a window into a person's general well-being, because it can carry clues about the health of other organs. The skin has a big job to do protecting the body from various environmental stimuli and so takes a beating everyday, making it imperative to replenish regularly. Itchy skin, acne, dermatitis, eczema, herpes and scabies are all signs that the skin is in need of nourishment. Many of us also experience blemishes, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and many other irregularities in the skin because of its constant nature of being exposed. The health of the skin is important not only for your appearance, but more importantly because the skin performs so many essential tasks for your body.

 

What causes skin issues?

The skin is filled with special cells of the immune system that protect the body and skin from viruses, bacteria, and other hidden threats. When under threat, skin cells trigger a reaction that causes the area to become inflamed, often leading to itching. Some rashes are red, painful, and irritated, while others can lead to blisters or patches of raw skin.

Most acute skin problems, like the temporary blisters and swelling associated with contact dermatitis, stem from reactions to external irritants while chronic skin conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema, or acne have internal causes.  Itchy skin can be the result of a rash or another skin condition. It can also be a symptom of a more serious condition such as liver disease or kidney failure.

You may have itchy skin over certain small areas or over your whole body and it can occur without any other noticeable changes on the skin or it can be associated with redness bumps, dry and cracked skin. Sometimes itchiness lasts a long time and can be intense. As you rub or scratch the area, it gets itchier and the more it itches, the more you scratch; this is a tough cycle to break. To heal yourself, it is important to first identify the problem and then treat the underlying cause. Let's take a look at some of the causes of skin issues: 

Dry skin

Dry skin is one of the most common causes of itchy skin. It is an uncomfortable condition marked by scaling, itching, and cracking and can occur for a variety of reasons. You might have naturally dry skin. But even if your skin tends to be oily, you can develop dry skin from time to time. Environmental factors that can lead to dry skin include excessively hot or cold weather with low humidity. Washing too much can also cause dry skin. 

Eczema

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is linked to the leakiness of the skin barrier. This causes the area to dry out, putting it at risk of irritation and inflammation. Eczema resembles an allergy but the skin irritation, which is more often seen in children rather than adults, is not an allergic reaction. It is caused by a combination of factors that include genetics, abnormal function of the immune system, environment, defects in the skin barrier that allow moisture out and germs in, and endocrine disorders such as thyroid disease

Allergies

Irritation and allergic reactions can also cause itchy skin. Contact dermatitis develops when your skin reacts to something it touches (an allergen) , causing localized inflammation. The result is a red, itchy rash that can include small blisters or bumps and this rash arises whenever the skin comes into contact with the allergen, a substance that the immune system attacks. 

 

Internal diseases

Changes in the skin may sometimes be early signs of more serious underlying health problems. These can include liver disease, kidney failure, iron deficiency anemia, thyroid problems and certain cancers, including multiple myeloma and lymphoma. A handful of skin changes that have been commonly associated with internal diseases are:

• Rashes and patches on the skin

In general, a rash that does not respond to treatment, and is accompanied by other symptoms — such as fever, joint pain and muscle aches — could be a sign of an internal problem or infection.

• Bronzing of the skin and other discolorations

In people with diabetes, a bronzing of the skin can be a sign of a problem with iron metabolism. A yellowing of the skin, on the other hand, may signal liver failure, and may occur along with the yellowing of the whites of the eyes.

• A darkening of the skin 

This is mostly visible in scars and skin folds, as well as on joints, such as elbows and knees and could be a sign of hormonal disease.

 

Nerve disorders

While itching is classically thought of as a problem with the skin, some problems of the nervous system have also been described as causing itch. In some cases, this may result from peripheral nerve damage leading to spontaneous signaling from the nerve or spinal cord. Conditions that affect the nervous system such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, pinched nerves and shingles (herpes zoster) can cause itching.

Psychological

People may experience an itching feeling that has no physical cause. Some mental health conditions can make a person feel as if their skin is crawling, which creates an urge to scratch. Excessive scratching can lead to skin damage. Compulsive scratching may be the result of:

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder
