About skin ayurveda treatments and ayurveda treatments


Ayurvedic treatment [Chikitsa] does not mean suppressing the main symptoms and creating some new ones as side effects of the main treatment. It is to remove the root cause and give permanent relief.
There are four main classifications of management of disease in Ayurveda: shodan, or cleansing; shaman or palliation; rasayana, or rejuvenation; and satvajaya, or mental hygiene.
The treatment mainly comprises of powders, tablets, decoctions, medicated oils etc. prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals. Because the medicines are from natural sources and not synthetic, they are accepted and assimilated in the body without creating any side effects and on the other hand, there may be some side benefits.
Along with medicine, proper diet, exercise and living style is also advised. This is equally important. If we are taking a medicine to remove the root cause and at the same time we are taking some food or following a life style which is increasing the cause of disease, then we may not get well or will be getting less relief. In addition to these Panch Karma and Yoga therapy can be very safely used to promote good health, prevent diseases and acquire longevity.
Ayurveda treatments 
Ayurveda treatments differ from the majority of conventional cures in its unique approach towards healing. The principle of treating the sick and not the sickness is central to all forms of ayurvedic treatments. Rather than trying to cure a disease in isolatation, ayurveda takes into account an individual in his entirety.
Ayurvedia treatments lay emphasis on examining the doshas/prakriti or the natural states of individuals before proceeding. The prakriti or the physical constitution, susceptibility to diseases, mental make-up and lifestyle of an individual is ascertained in accordance to the elemental constitution of the larger prakriti or the universe

About skin ayurveda clinic


Dr.R.S.Roy, the chief physician and M.D of Amrita Ayurveda Medical Centre, hailed from a family having rich heritage of Ayurveda. From his grandmother, who was a practitioner in ‘VishaChikitsa’, he could acquire knowledge in the initial lessons of treatment from his very boyhood.
After securing BAMS degree from Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda College, Ollur, he underwent training and practice under Ayurveda Acharya, late Kunju Raman Vaidyar, Pourasthya Pharmacy Kollam, which paved the way for success in his future career.
In 1990, he started Amrita Pharmacy at Kundara, Kollam. Following this, in 1996, his next venture began near Kinar junction, Tripunithura, where he concentrated on the treatment of skin and allergic diseases. Gradually, in 2002, Amrita Ayurveda Medical Centre was started at Tripunithura with a full set up of all amenities, which now stands a class apart in all the main streams of Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is based on the theory of Tridosha and Panchamahabhuta. A balanced state of the tridoshas namely Vatha, Pitha and Kapha is essential for the normal functioning of the body. Imbalance of tridoshas causes diseases. Dietary factors, life style variations, stress, over medication, hereditary factors, environmental pollution etc lead to the vitiation of the tridoshas. This in turn affects the vital internal organs. The decreased or deranged functioning of the internal organs causes accumulation of impurities in the blood which is reflected as various pathological conditions.
Psoriasis is a skin disease characterized by red, thickened and scaly skin. Itching is the main symptom and the disease may cause severe physical discomfort and embarrassment in the public.
Psoriasis shows the involvement of all the tridoshas in varying degree in the affected individuals. The predominance of vatha causes pain, dryness and scaling of skin. Pitha vitiation leads to burning sensation, redness, discharge etc and that of kapha causes rashes, itching, thickening of skin etc. From these signs and symptoms, the doshic involvement is analyzed carefully in each patient which is of utmost importance in the management of this disease.
This basic principle is followed in skin disease like LEUKODERMA also, with a good success rate.
