Twak Roga (Skin Disorders)

Skin Disorders---01

Twak Roga, or skin disorders, refer to a broad range of conditions that affect the health, appearance, and function of the skin. In Ayurveda, the skin (Twak) is considered a reflection of internal balance and well-being. Any imbalance in the body’s doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—along with poor digestion (Agni) and toxin buildup (Ama), can manifest as skin diseases.

Common conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, pigmentation, and dermatitis fall under Twak Roga. These may be triggered by improper diet, unhealthy lifestyle, hormonal imbalances, mental stress, or exposure to environmental toxins.

Dr. Meghana B emphasizes a root-cause approach to healing rather than symptomatic relief. Ayurvedic treatment for Twak Roga is holistic and tailored to each individual’s constitution (Prakriti) and the dominant doshic imbalance. The management involves:

  • Shodhana (Cleansing therapies): Panchakarma procedures like Vamana (emesis), Virechana (purgation), and Raktamokshana (bloodletting) to expel accumulated toxins.

  • Shamana (Pacifying therapies): Herbal remedies such as Neem, Turmeric, Manjistha, Aloe Vera, and others to reduce inflammation and support skin repair.

  • Ahara and Vihara (Diet & Lifestyle): A customized plan to enhance digestion, prevent further toxin accumulation, and promote balance.

  • External therapies: Abhyanga (herbal oil massage), Swedana (steam), and Lepas (herbal face packs) for rejuvenation and nourishment.

At Brahmi Ayurvedic Clinic, Dr. Meghana B offers compassionate, evidence-based care, helping patients reclaim healthy, radiant skin through time-tested Ayurvedic principles and individualized attention.
