Dermatitis
Natural skin healing from the root.
- Skin
Dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition that causes redness, itching, dryness, irritation, and sometimes swelling or blistering of the skin. It can be triggered by allergies, environmental factors, stress, digestive imbalance, or a weakened immune response.
While conventional treatments often focus on suppressing symptoms temporarily, Ayurveda views dermatitis as a result of internal dosha imbalance - primarily Pitta and Kapha - along with toxin accumulation (Ama). Charaka and Sushruta group it under 'Kushta Roga', the family of skin diseases with 18 recognised types. At Dr. Abrol's clinic, the focus is on identifying the root cause and restoring balance through personalised herbal remedies, detoxification, and dietary guidance.

How We Treat Dermatitis
Ayurvedic Root Causes
Ama (undigested toxins) clogging the body's channels, Rakta Dushti (impure blood), Mandagni (weak digestive fire), and a Pitta-Kapha dosha imbalance driving inflammation.
Internal Herbal Medicines
Neem (purifies the blood, calms itching), Guduchi/Giloy (builds immunity), Manjistha (blood purifier that reduces dark spots and swelling), and Turmeric (natural anti-inflammatory that speeds healing).
External Therapies
Herbal pastes (Lepa) applied to reduce redness, burning, and itching; medicated oils massaged deep into cracking skin; herbal decoction washes in place of chemical soap.
Panchakarma Treatment
Virechana (purgation) to clear Pitta and toxins, Raktamokshana (bloodletting) to cleanse circulating impurities in chronic cases, and Abhyanga (full-body medicated oil massage) to nourish depleted skin.
Learn about AbhyangamDiet & Lifestyle
Fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, moong dal, whole grains, warm water, and turmeric milk; avoiding hot/spicy/oily and processed foods, sugar, cold drinks, and curd at night. Consistent sleep by 10:30 pm, daily Surya Namaskar and pranayama, and gentle herbal skincare are recommended.
