Treatment

The skin is the first line of defence for the body. Skin is susceptible to infections and other problems. Skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and conditions like acne and blemishes can cause irritating symptoms. Medicines that contain steroids can cause side effects & repetition problems.  Ayurveda suggests a holistic approach to effectively managing skin problems.

Pranayatan Ayurveda provides different panchakarma procedures, like virechana (Purgation), massages, parishek, dhara & jalaucavacharana (Leech therapy) for skin related problems.
