Skin diseases are quite common and can affect anyone, regardless of age.
They are often presented as itching, redness, rashes, dryness, or skin
eruptions. Both homeopathic and Ayurvedic approaches aim to tackle the root
cause instead of simply hiding the symptoms. Homeopathy involves highly diluted
natural substances selected based on a person's overall constitution and
specific symptom patterns.Ayurveda, on the other hand, help to cure skin
illnesses by balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) using herbs, dietary
changes, and detox therapies.Popular herbs such as neem, turmeric, aloe vera,
and manjistha are known for their blood purifying and anti-inflammatory
effects.
Skin Diseases (
1. Itch (Scabies / Severe Itching)
In this condition, there is intense itching on the body, redness of the skin, scratching until bleeding occurs, a sensation of heat, and similar symptoms.If external ointments are applied in this disease, the condition gets suppressed internally and may later affect some other organ of the body. Therefore, this disease should not be suppressed. It should be treated with internal (oral) medicines. To reduce the intensity of the disease, Sulphur or Benzoyl lotion may be used externally for relief.
The patient’s clothes should be washed in boiling water every 2–3 days.
