Heal your skin, restore your hair
Chronic skin and hair disorders have deep roots — in your gut, your blood, your immunity. Ayurveda treats the root, not the surface. Lasting relief from psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, hair loss, and acne — without steroid dependency.
“All skin disorders arise from the vitiation of the blood — Raktadushti. Without purifying the blood and restoring Agni, no skin condition can be permanently cured.”— Charaka Samhita, Chikitsa Sthana
Modern dermatology manages skin symptoms through topical steroids, antihistamines, and biologics. Ayurveda asks a different question: why is the blood impure in the first place? At Ishan, every skin and hair patient undergoes a Prakriti assessment and Agni evaluation before treatment begins. This identifies the Dosha imbalance, the gut-skin connection, and the specific Dhatu affected — guiding a personalised protocol of blood-purifying medicines, Panchakarma, and dietary correction that works together to restore lasting skin and hair health.
From autoimmune skin disorders to chronic hair loss, our specialists design Ayurvedic protocols tailored to each condition, its stage, and your constitution.
Chronic autoimmune skin condition causing thick, scaly plaques — most often on elbows, knees, and scalp. Deeply aggravated Pitta-Kapha with blood toxicity. Ayurveda achieves long-term remission.
Inflamed, itchy, weeping skin patches — often triggered by allergies, stress, or gut dysbiosis. Recurrent in children and adults. Ayurveda addresses the gut-skin axis to prevent chronic recurrence.
Loss of skin pigmentation in patches due to destruction of melanocytes. Classified as Shwitra in Ayurveda — treated with blood purification, Bakuchi-based formulations, and targeted external therapies to stimulate repigmentation.
Androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, stress-related hair fall, and postpartum hair loss — all classified under Khalitya and Indralupta in Ayurveda. Treatment targets the Asthi-Majja dhatu axis and scalp micro-circulation.
Hormonal, cystic, or chronic acne — caused by elevated Pitta and Kapha disturbing the sebaceous glands. Ayurveda corrects the hormonal imbalance and gut toxicity that drives acne, leaving clear skin without long-term antibiotic use.
Hives, chronic allergic rashes, and hypersensitivity skin reactions — classified as Sheetapitta (cold Pitta) in Ayurveda. Treatment desensitises the immune response and strengthens gut barrier function for lasting allergy relief.
Most chronic skin conditions — psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo — share a common Ayurvedic root: impure blood (Dushta Rakta) combined with a weakened digestive fire (Mandagni) that allows metabolic toxins to accumulate and manifest on the skin. Hair loss is approached differently — as a Vata-Pitta disorder of the Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue), since hair health is directly linked to bone and hormonal metabolism.
Every patient begins with a comprehensive constitutional assessment — pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha), skin type analysis, dietary history, and bowel habits — to identify the Dosha imbalance, digestive strength, and stage of disease. Skin disease cannot be cured without first assessing the gut.
Blood-purifying herbs (Raktashodhak) — Neem, Manjistha, Khadir, Sariva — combined with Agni-kindling formulations begin the process of clearing metabolic toxins from the gut-blood axis. These classical formulations work systemically, unlike topical creams.
Virechana (therapeutic purgation) is the gold-standard for skin diseases — it purifies the liver and small intestine, the primary seat of blood impurity. Raktamokshana (leech therapy) is used for localised chronic patches. Takradhara cools and soothes inflamed skin deeply.
Lepa Chikitsa (herbal paste applications), Shirodhara and Shirobhyanga (for hair conditions), Takradhara for scalp, and Abhyanga with medicated oils provide targeted relief and promote tissue repair at the skin surface.
Rejuvenating formulations (Arogyavardhini Vati, Khadirarishta, Mahamanjisthadi Kashayam), detailed dietary guidelines avoiding Viruddha Ahara (incompatible foods), and lifestyle corrections to sustain skin clarity and prevent relapse.
Understanding your skin or hair condition through the Dosha-Dhatu lens allows precise, personalised treatment — not a one-size protocol.
Heat, redness, inflammation, bleeding. Primary dosha in psoriasis, eczema, acne, and urticaria. The liver and blood are the seat of Pitta disturbance.
Thickening, oozing, slow-healing patches. Kapha excess causes the chronicity in psoriasis plaques and seborrheic dermatitis. Weight and diet correction is essential.
Dryness, cracking, hair brittleness, premature greying. Vata dominates in hair loss, lichen planus, and dry eczema. Asthi Dhatu nourishment is the primary intervention.
Impure blood is the carrier of all skin disease. Without purifying Rakta through Virechana or Raktamokshana, no topical treatment gives lasting results.
Dedicated Panchakarma rooms, trained therapists, and a calm healing environment — all under one roof. Our skin and hair treatment wing is designed for unhurried, restorative care that allows the body to truly heal.
“My hair loss was so bad I could see my scalp clearly. I had tried PRP elsewhere — it worked 2 months then stopped. The doctors here found my thyroid and digestion were the real cause. After dietary changes and Shirodhara sessions, my hair started growing back within 6 weeks.”

Meet our Ayurvedic dermatology specialists with expertise in psoriasis, eczema, hair loss, acne, and vitiligo — treating skin from the inside out.
Do not wait for skin or hair symptoms to worsen. Early Ayurvedic intervention gives significantly better outcomes.
Most psoriasis patients notice significant improvement within 6–12 weeks of starting treatment. The timeline depends on severity and duration of the condition, your Prakriti, and compliance with diet and medicines. Virechana Panchakarma accelerates results considerably for moderate-to-severe cases. Mild cases often respond in 4–6 weeks. We set clear, honest expectations at your first consultation based on your specific case.
Ayurveda has documented classical treatments for Shwitra (vitiligo) using Bakuchi, Khadir, Manjistha, and Virechana. Results vary — areas with active follicles and newer patches respond better. Many patients achieve partial or significant repigmentation. Complete cure is more achievable in early-stage vitiligo. We assess each case individually and do not make blanket promises — but we have a strong track record in cases that were years old.
No — do not abruptly stop any prescribed medicines, especially topical or oral steroids. Sudden steroid withdrawal can cause severe rebound flares. Our doctors will create a gradual tapering plan that runs parallel with Ayurvedic treatment, allowing you to safely reduce and eventually discontinue conventional medicines as your condition stabilises. We always coordinate with your existing treatment, never against it.
OPD consultations and investigations may be covered under policies that include OPD benefits. IPD Panchakarma stays for conditions like severe alopecia or psoriasis are covered under policies with Ayurvedic hospitalisation coverage. We are empanelled with 40+ insurers including CGHS. Our insurance desk will verify your specific policy coverage before treatment begins — at no charge.
Yes — dietary compliance is critical for skin conditions in Ayurveda. Viruddha Ahara (incompatible food combinations such as fish with milk, sour foods with dairy) and Pitta-aggravating foods (fermented foods, excessive sour/spicy foods, nightshades) are considered primary causes of skin disease. Your doctor will give you a detailed, practical dietary plan specific to your condition — not a generic list.
OPD treatment involves outpatient consultations, internal medicines, and simple external therapies — suitable for mild-to-moderate conditions. IPD Panchakarma is an admitted programme (typically 7–21 days) where intensive procedures like Virechana or Raktamokshana are performed under continuous medical supervision. IPD gives faster, more powerful results for chronic or severe conditions. Ishan is a NABH-accredited 100-bed hospital with dedicated Panchakarma IPD rooms.
