True Radiance Comes from Within: Purify the Blood
Your skin is a mirror of your internal health. In Charaka Samhita, skin diseases are collectively known as Kushtha, rooted in the contamination of the blood (Rakta Dushti). When the liver is overwhelmed and digestion is poor, toxins (Ama) circulate in the blood and are pushed out through the skin, manifesting as rashes, scales, or acne.
At Ganesha Ayurveda, we do not rely on cortisone creams that merely suppress the symptoms. We focus on Rakta Shodhana (Blood Purification). We clean the internal rivers of your body so that the surface reflects health, not toxicity.

Lichen Planus
Lichen Planus is an inflammatory condition affecting the skin and mucous membranes. Ayurveda views this as a complex Tridosha imbalance involving "poison-like" toxins (Dooshi Visha) that have settled in the tissues over a long period. The immune system becomes confused and attacks the skin cells, leading to purplish, itchy, flat-topped bumps. It is deeply connected to stress and trapped heat in the body.Learn More -
Hairfall & Alopecia
Hair Fall (Khalitya): Often caused by excess Pitta. The heat rises to the head and literally "burns" the hair roots, causing them to fall out. Alopecia (Indralupta): This is where Kapha blocks the hair follicles (Romakupa). The path is blocked, so even if the root is alive, the new hair cannot push through the surface, leading to patches of baldness.Learn More -
Acne
Acne is known as Mukha Dushika (destroyer of facial beauty). It is primarily a Pitta-Rakta disorder. When Pitta (Heat) increases in the body due to spicy food or hormonal shifts, it corrupts the blood. This hot, impure blood tries to escape through the facial pores. If Kapha (oiliness) is also present, it blocks the pore, creating a painful, pus-filled eruption.Learn More -
Psoriasis & Eczema (Kushtha)
These are chronic conditions where the body’s detoxification system is failing. Psoriasis (Kitibha): Often a Vata-Kapha disorder. The skin becomes dry, rough, and scales over like the bark of a tree because the body is reproducing skin cells too fast in a chaotic attempt to protect itself. Eczema (Vicharchika): Can be dry (Vata) or weeping/oozing (Pitta-Kapha). It represents a "boiling over" of internal toxins that irritate the skin surface.Learn More
