    Ayurveda dermatology-Ayurvedic perspective of skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema)

    S kin is an organ which represents some inner abnormalities and stress conditions within one’s body. Tvak (Skin) is just like a
    mirror reflection and manifesting various type of inner abnormality or diseased condition. In Ayurveda, major skin diseases
    have been classified under the heading of Kustha. According to Ayurvedic classics, the word Nidana (Causative Factors) carries
    two meanings viz., causative factors and diagnosis. It is very important to know the cause of a disease, because in any disease
    where the cause is known, treatment becomes very easy. It is in this light only that Chikitsa has been defined as ‘Nidana
    Parivarjanam’ which means to avoid causative factors. The causative factors are classified into two groups namely Bahya
    (external) and Abhyantara (internal). Bahya Karanas are exogenous & Abhayantara are endogenous. Mainly four factors are
    responsible for causation of Kushtha. Treatment of skin diseases according to ayurveda is based on various factors of ayurveda
    diet and life style management which I shall discuss in my speech.
