I’ve struggled with stubborn skin issues for years—dry patches, redness, constant itching. If you’ve been there, you know how frustrating it is to try every cream, pill, and “miracle” solution with little to no result. That’s when I stumbled upon the world of Ayurveda, and honestly, it changed how I look at skin health completely.

In Ayurveda, skin problems are more than surface-level. They’re called Kushta Roga, a group of skin diseases linked to imbalances deep within the body. It’s not just about what you put on your skin—it’s about what’s happening inside, your digestion, your emotions, even your energy levels.

There’s an in-depth article I found super helpful called “What is Kushta Roga in Ayurveda: Meaning, Symptoms, and Healing” from Ask Ayurveda. You can find it here:

It explains how conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or even just random rashes can be connected to your lifestyle, diet, and Dosha balance.

I also came across a Facebook post where people shared their experiences with Ayurvedic skin healing. Some talked about using herbs, others about changing their diet, and it really clicked for me. Here’s the link if you want to read those stories:

One of the biggest things I learned? Detoxing matters—a lot. On Threads, there was a post explaining how internal cleansing helps clear your skin naturally. You can check that one out here:

Another thing that caught my attention was the use of herbs like Neem, Manjistha, and Turmeric. On Pinterest, I saw some cool visual boards showing these remedies in action—super inspiring if you’re into natural healing:

And it’s not just physical care—mental health affects your skin too. I saw an Instagram post about how stress shows up on your skin, which made so much sense. Here’s the link:

Turns out, professionals are taking this seriously too. There’s a LinkedIn article where they talk about blending Ayurveda with modern wellness approaches for better results. Worth a read:

For me, diving into Ayurveda has been eye-opening. It’s not a quick fix—but understanding the root of the issue, your digestion, your stress, your body’s balance—that feels empowering.
