About the Book

The book delves into the Ayurvedic understanding and management of skin diseases, categorized as Kushta, encompassing conditions from eczema to leprosy. Drawing from texts like the Rigveda, Atharvaveda, and classical works by Sushruta and Charaka, it highlights diagnostic principles, personalized treatments, and therapies. Sushruta’s concept of seven skin layers links specific disorders to dosha imbalances, guiding remedies like herbal medications, external applications, bloodletting, and dietary modifications. The work bridges Ayurveda with modern dermatology, addressing conditions like psoriasis and vitiligo while emphasizing holistic approaches, including stress management, yoga, and lifestyle changes, for comprehensive skin health.
