Chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo often have deep internal contributors — accumulated toxins, weakened digestive fire, and doshic imbalance. At Ayush Panchkarma, our Ayurvedic Skin Treatment Centre in Palampur addresses these contributing factors through classical Panchakarma, personalised herbal protocols, and therapeutic diet — working alongside your dermatological care, not replacing it.

⚠ Important: Ayurvedic skin therapies are supportive and complementary. Results vary by individual, condition, and duration of disease. We do not claim permanent cure. Do not stop prescribed dermatology medications without your doctor's guidance.
The Ayurvedic View on Chronic Skin Disease
Classical Ayurvedic texts classify chronic skin disorders under Kushtha — conditions involving multiple doshic imbalances, particularly Pitta, combined with Rakta Dushti (blood imbalance) and Ama (undigested waste). Ayurvedic treatment aims to reduce these contributing internal factors rather than focusing solely on the skin surface.
This is why our approach begins with a thorough internal assessment — Nadi Pariksha, digestive history, and dietary review — before any external therapy is prescribed.

Panchakarma Therapies for Skin Conditions
Virechana — Therapeutic Purgation
Virechana is classically indicated for Pitta and blood-related conditions. It is used to reduce Pitta and Ama load from the liver and digestive system. Many patients report visible improvement in skin texture and reduced inflammation during and after Virechana. Individual responses vary.
Raktamokshana — Blood Purification
For localised blood-related skin conditions — psoriasis plaques, cystic acne, chronic eczema — Jalauka (leech therapy) is used where clinically appropriate. It aims to reduce local vitiation in tissue. Results depend on individual constitution and condition severity.
Takradhara — Medicated Buttermilk Therapy
A continuous stream of cooled medicated buttermilk is poured over the head and body. This calming Pitta-reducing therapy is particularly useful where stress is a known trigger, as it may help support a more balanced nervous system response.
Vamana — Therapeutic Emesis
For Kapha-predominant presentations — thick-scale psoriasis, chronic weeping eczema, urticaria — Vamana is prescribed under close physician supervision following careful patient selection and preparation.
