Clear, glowing, and lustrous skin boosts the personality of an individual and healthy skin is an indication of a healthy body. According to Ayurveda, the root cause of all skin problems are unhealthy eating habits which lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. Healthy skin is known to reflect a healthy gut. Skin diseases cannot be treated by concentrating only on the external signs and symptoms but can only be treated by identifying its actual cause. As Ayurveda works on the principles of working on the root cause of the problems, we get many good results, especially in skin conditions.
Root Cause of Skin Problems
Ayurveda believes that the actual cause of skin diseases are the unhealthy eating habits and lifestyle. Unhealthy eating habits include eating oily food, fried food, slimy food, not eating according to your digestion, overeating, improper time of eating, frequently fasting, consuming alcohol, and smoking. Unhealthy lifestyle can cause indigestion, constipation, and diarrhoea. These triggers can result in the development of skin conditions and the unhealthy routines lead to accumulation of toxins in the body. These toxins circulate in our body and attack the weaker parts, producing signs of skin problems. These toxins can also cause toxicity of the blood.
Stress and anxiety are also cause for unhealthy skin. Stress, anxiety, and insomnia creates toxicity and imbalance in the mind.
