About Dermatology
In Ayurveda, we understand that skin disorders stem from imbalances in the doshas and dhatus within the body, often caused by incorrect diet and lifestyle choices. Our treatment approaches prioritize deep detoxification and elimination of underlying causes, aiming for holistic health restoration.
In Ayurveda, diet plays a crucial role in managing skin diseases by balancing the body’s doshas (bio-energies) and supporting overall health. Here are some Ayurvedic diet suggestions that may help alleviate skin conditions:
- Follow a Pitta-Pacifying Diet: Many skin conditions are associated with aggravated Pitta dosha, characterized by excess heat, inflammation, and acidity. To balance Pitta, focus on cooling, calming foods. Favor sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes while reducing spicy, sour, and salty foods.
- Include Cooling Foods: Opt for foods that have a cooling effect on the body to soothe inflammation and reduce heat. Examples include cucumber, coconut, watermelon, leafy greens (like spinach and kale), zucchini, cilantro, mint, and fennel.
- Emphasize Digestive Health: Good digestion is essential for overall health and can influence skin health. Include foods that support digestion, such as cooked vegetables, whole grains (like quinoa and barley), mung beans, lentils,
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of room temperature or lukewarm water throughout the day to help flush out toxins and keep the skin hydrated. Herbal teas like chamomile, licorice, or fennel tea can also be beneficial.
- Avoid Hot and Spicy Foods: Minimize or avoid hot and spicy foods, as they can aggravate Pitta and contribute to inflammation in the body. This includes chili peppers, mustard, garlic, and onions.
- Reduce Acidic Foods: Acidic foods can exacerbate skin conditions. Limit acidic foods such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, vinegar, and fermented foods like yogurt and pickles.
- Incorporate Healthy Fats: Include sources of healthy fats in your diet,
- Herbal Support: Ayurvedic herbs can support skin health when consumed internallyas per Ayurveda Doctor advice.
- Avoid Refined Sugar and Processed Foods: Refined sugars and processed foods can disrupt the body’s natural balance and contribute to skin issues. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible, and use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup in moderation.
- Mindful Eating: Pay attention to your eating habits and avoid overeating or eating in a rushed or stressed state, as this can impair digestion and impact skin health.

It’s important to note that individual constitution (prakriti) and specific imbalances play a significant role in determining the most suitable diet for managing skin diseases in Ayurveda.
