sounds like you’re really in the thick of it with your skin issues, and moving to a colder climate could defo be unsettling for your skin’s natural balance. You’re spot on, Ayurveda really digs deep into pinpointing the root cause of problems like this. The fact that spicy foods set things off for you is a classic indicator of Pitta imbalance. Pitta dosha governs heat in the body, so excess spicy or oily foods can lead to inflammation and other issues.
When finding an Ayurvedic skin specialist, I’d recommend looking for someone with clear credentials and a history of treating skin. It might be worth calling or visiting a few clinics, asking about their approach towards conditions like acne and dryness. They won’t just rely on herbal remedies; most good specialists’ll suggest lifestyle tweaks too. You’re right to question those expensive detox procedures like panchakarma – they aren’t necessary for everyone. It’s usually for when your body’s seriously out of balance – like, a serious restart button. Maybe start with something gentler, like dietary adjustments and see how that goes.
About affordability, Ayurvedic treatments range quite a bit. Some places are pricey, but many offer really reasonable rates. Honestly, alot will depend on whether your treatment requires special herbal preparations or just basic guidance on food and lifestyle.
Oh, and in terms of skincare routine, Ayurveda’s very much into natural oils and creams, plus supplements if necessary, but no pressure to overhaul everything. Just adapt what works naturally with your skin type.
For your appointment, bring notes on symptoms, diet, lifestyle, medical history. The deeper the insights, the better they can help you. Results can take time—sometimes weeks, not miracle overnight fixes.
If you give it a shot, patience and consistency can make a big difference! Good luck finding the right path for your skin 😊
