CLASSICAL FRAMEWORK

Classical Skin Disease Classification

Ayurveda recognizes two types of skin abnormalities: Mahakustha and Kshudrakustha. Mahakustha refers to major skin diseases, while Kshudrakustha refers to minor skin diseases.

Mahakustha (Major Skin Diseases)

  • Vipadika (Eczema)
  • Kushta (Leprosy)
  • Kitibha (Psoriasis)
  • Sidhma (Lichen Planus)
  • Kotha (Leucoderma/Vitiligo)
  • Visarpa (Herpes/Zoster)
  • Charma Rakta (Purpura)

Kshudrakustha (Minor Skin Diseases)

  • Darunaka (Acne)
  • Pama (Scabies)
  • Dadru (Ringworm)
  • Indralupta (Alopecia)
  • Kitibha Kustha (Psoriasis)
  • Eka Kushta (Mycosis Fungoides)
  • Alasaka (Lichen Simplex)
  • Vipadika (Eczema)
  • Charmadala (Contact Dermatitis)
  • Visphota (Blister)
  • Sphota (Erysipelas)

CONDITIONS WE TREAT

Conditions We Address

Acne

For adult and hormonal acne. Blood purification, gut correction and topical support work together.

Pigmentation

Melasma, sun damage and post-inflammatory pigmentation respond to Rakta Shodhana and dosha correction.

Eczema

Chronic eczema and dermatitis are Vata-Pitta driven. Structured detox plus internal support gives lasting relief.

Chronic Dry Skin

Ghee-based internal support plus warm oil therapies restore the moisture the tissues have lost.

Ayurvedic Skincare Treatments & Recommendations

Skin texture and glow do not depend only on external factors such as climate and substances that interact with them. They also depend on the internal constitution of the body. For example, impurities or toxins from food in the blood affect the skin despite external care.

Shathayu offers a detoxification treatment called Panchakarma, which involves five Ayurvedic techniques to purify the body by removing harmful substances. We augment the process with suitable herbs and medicinal oils to revitalise the body and boost functions like metabolism and immunity. It ensures a long-lasting positive impact on skin health.

Our Ayurveda experts also recommend other methods to improve overall health and well-being, indirectly influencing skin health. The recommendations include diet, lifestyle modifications, yoga, and meditation.

SYMPTOM CHECK

Is This Right For You

Ayurvedic Skin Care is worth considering if any of this sounds familiar:

Adult or hormonal acne that hasn't responded to topical products alone

Breakouts that Shathayu’s approach treats through blood purification and gut correction, not just topical support.

Pigmentation, melasma, or sun damage that’s stuck around

Post-inflammatory or hormonal pigmentation that responds to Rakta Shodhana and dosha correction.

Chronic eczema or dermatitis that flares under stress

A Vata-Pitta driven pattern that needs structured detox plus internal support, not just a stronger cream.

Skin that’s persistently dry no matter how much you moisturise

A sign the moisture loss is tissue-deep, addressed with ghee-based internal support alongside warm oil therapies.

A skin condition your dermatologist has managed but not resolved

A complementary root-cause approach alongside — not instead of — your existing dermatology care.

Wanting to understand your skin issue through Ayurveda’s classical framework

The Mahakustha/Kshudrakustha classification above, which maps your specific condition to a documented category rather than a vague “skin problem”.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Contraindications & Who Should Check First

Active, severe infections or open wounds

Treat these medically first before starting cosmetic-adjacent therapies.

Known allergy to specific herbal ingredients

Always disclose at consultation before any topical formulation is applied.

Pregnancy

Most therapies are fine, but confirm at consultation, particularly for internal Panchakarma procedures.

Currently under active dermatology treatment

Bring your dermatologist’s diagnosis and current medication list so your Shathayu doctor can coordinate rather than conflict with it.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A Realistic Timeline

  • Weeks 1–3: Reduced irritation and improved skin texture are typically the first noticeable changes
  • Weeks 4–8: Visible improvement in pigmentation, acne activity, or eczema flare frequency as internal correction compounds
  • Months 2–3: The benchmark for chronic, classically-classified conditions (Mahakustha-level) to show substantial, lasting improvement

Because steroids and chemical fillers aren’t used, results build steadily rather than suppressing symptoms overnight — your doctor sets a realistic target for your specific condition at consultation.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Skin Care — FAQs

A combination of internal and external therapies — Panchakarma detoxification, herbal remedies, dietary and lifestyle guidance — built on Ayurveda’s classical understanding that skin health reflects the internal state of the blood tissue and digestion, not just what’s applied topically.
Ayurveda holds that skin texture and glow depend on internal constitution as much as external factors. Impurities or toxins from food that accumulate in the blood affect the skin, which is why treatment addresses digestion, detoxification, and internal balance rather than only the visible symptom.
Mahakustha refers to major skin diseases (like eczema, leprosy, psoriasis, vitiligo, herpes, and purpura), while Kshudrakustha refers to minor skin diseases (like acne, scabies, ringworm, alopecia, and contact dermatitis). Both classifications guide how Shathayu’s doctors approach diagnosis and treatment planning.
Yes — conditions classified under Kshudrakustha, including acne (Darunaka), respond well to a combination of blood purification, gut correction, and topical herbal support, addressing the internal drivers behind the breakouts.
Panchakarma is Shathayu’s core detoxification treatment — five Ayurvedic techniques that purify the body by removing harmful substances, augmented with herbs and medicinal oils that revitalise the body and boost metabolism and immunity, giving a long-lasting positive impact on skin health rather than a temporary surface fix.
Yes — your doctor assesses your specific skin condition against the classical Mahakustha/Kshudrakustha framework and your individual constitution, then recommends the right combination of Panchakarma, herbs, diet, and lifestyle guidance for your case.
Yes — Shathayu offers skincare products based on Ayurvedic herbal extractions and concoctions, recommended by our experts based on your specific skin type and problem for daily use alongside clinical treatment.
Reported benefits include clean and glowing skin, elimination of underlying skin disorders (not just symptom suppression), a reinforced immune system, and enhanced skin tone — outcomes that build gradually as the internal root cause is addressed.
Many patients notice improved skin texture and reduced irritation within a few weeks, but chronic conditions classified under Mahakustha typically need a longer, structured programme — often 2 to 3 months — for lasting results, since the treatment works at the root cause rather than suppressing symptoms quickly.
No — Shathayu’s approach uses 100% classical Ayurvedic formulations. No steroids, no chemical fillers. This is specifically why results build gradually rather than suppressing symptoms overnight the way a topical steroid might.
Never stop prescribed medication without your dermatologist’s guidance. Ayurvedic skin care is generally used alongside conventional dermatology, not as a replacement — your Shathayu doctor will coordinate the approach rather than ask you to discontinue anything unilaterally.
Psoriasis (Kitibha, classified under both Mahakustha and Kshudrakustha depending on presentation) is one of the conditions Ayurveda has classical protocols for, combining Panchakarma-based blood purification with targeted herbal and dietary support. Results vary by severity and case history — your doctor will set realistic expectations at consultation.
Yes — Ayurveda treats diet as a primary lever for skin health, since food-derived toxins in the blood are considered a direct contributor to skin disorders. Dietary guidance is a standard part of every skin care treatment plan here, not an optional add-on.
Yes, with proper assessment — your doctor selects formulations and therapy intensity based on your specific skin sensitivity and condition rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Cost depends on your specific condition, the combination of Panchakarma and herbal therapies recommended, and treatment duration. Your clinic confirms the exact price at consultation, before any programme is booked.
Yes, with age-appropriate modifications — some therapies and herbal concentrations are adjusted for children. Always mention the patient’s age at the time of booking so the right doctor and approach can be arranged.
