Chronic Dermatological & Inflammatory Skin Care
Comprehensive dermatological care for eczema, fungal ringworm (Dadru), contact dermatitis, and chronic hives with Mahatiktaka Ghritam and Gandhak Rasayan.
Clinical Understanding & Dermatological Pathology
Chronic inflammatory skin diseases encompass a diverse spectrum of dermatological disorders including atopic eczema, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, lichen planus, urticaria (hives), and persistent fungal dermatomycoses (Tinea corporis/cruris or ringworm). While conventional pathology categorizes them separately, they share core pathophysiological hallmarks: epidermal barrier disruption, severe intercellular edema (spongiosis), micro-vesicle formation, intense leukocyte infiltration, and agonizing pruritus. Chronic scratching induces lichenification (thick, leathery, hyperkeratotic skin) and secondary bacterial staphylococcal infection.
Root Cause in Siddha & Ayurveda (Kushta, Vicharchika & Dadru)
Ayurveda and Siddha group all dermatological diseases under the broad spectrum of Kushta Roga (predominantly Kshudra Kushta). Eczema is diagnosed as Vicharchika, fungal ringworm as Dadru, and urticaria as Sheetapitta. The underlying pathogenesis involves all three doshas vitiating the four cutaneous bodily constituents (Tvak, Rakta, Mamsa, Lasika), known collectively as the Sapta Kocha. Incompatible dietary habits (Viruddha Ahara), suppressed perspiration, emotional stress, and liver stagnation dump biological toxins into the capillary bed. Conventional steroid creams thin the skin barrier, creating chronic corticosteroid dependence without curing the underlying blood toxicity.

Why Topical Steroids & Antihistamines Fail
Synthetic hydrocortisone creams provide temporary symptom masking while causing skin atrophy, stretch marks, and steroid withdrawal dermatitis. Our 100% botanical protocol detoxifies the internal blood and lymphatic terrain, delivering velvety, smooth, and itch-free skin permanently.
Expected Recovery Timeline & Prognosis
- Days 1 - 7: Immediate relief from unbearable itching, drying up of oozing serous fluid, and cooling of localized skin heat. - Days 8 - 21: Shedding of crusty scales, disappearance of red fungal borders, and healing of painful skin cracks and fissures. - Days 22 - 45: Complete restoration of natural skin texture, fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and long-term recurrence prevention.
