Is Kushta Roga in Ayurveda Curable? - #12436

Anonymous

I don’t know how to explain this properly but my younger brother, who is 24, has been struggling with some weird skin issues for almost 3 years now. At first, we thought it was just an allergy or an infection, but no medicine has helped. The doctors say it’s some chronic skin disease, but no one is giving us a clear answer. Some call it psoriasis, some say eczema, but my brother's condition doesn’t fit either perfectly. We live in a village, and my family prefers Ayurveda for treatment. My grandmother told us that it might be kushta roga in Ayurveda, but we don’t really understand what that means. She said kushta roga in Ayurveda is not just one disease, it can be many different types. Some people say it comes from “impure blood,” some say it’s because of food, and others believe it’s a past-life karma issue. We went to a local Ayurvedic doctor who said my brother might have “Vata-Pitta Kushta.” He suggested some herbal medicines, like neem, haritaki, and manjistha. He also told us to avoid curd, salt, and spicy food. But after using these medicines for 4 months, there’s no major change. The itching is a little less, but the red patches on his back, arms, and neck are still spreading. The worst part is that he gets small cracks on his skin that sometimes bleed. Now we are really confused. Is kushta roga in Ayurveda something that can actually be cured, or is it like those diseases that just keep coming back? Is there a stronger treatment that works faster? Some people say Panchakarma is the best way to treat kushta roga in Ayurveda, but is it safe? I also read that some cases require detoxification before herbs start working properly—how do we know if that’s necessary? Please help, any advice will be really appreciated. Has anyone else faced this? If you’ve tried any Ayurvedic treatment for kushta roga in Ayurveda, did it actually work? Or should we try some different approach?

Kushta roga in Ayurveda is indeed a broad term used to describe various chronic skin conditions, and it can manifest in different forms like psoriasis, eczema, and other skin disorders. It is primarily linked to an imbalance in the doshas, especially Vata and Pitta, which affects the skin and leads to symptoms like itching, redness, and skin cracks. In your brother's case, the red patches and bleeding cracks suggest that the condition might be more complex and may require a more comprehensive approach. While herbs like neem, haritaki, and manjistha are beneficial for balancing Pitta and purifying the blood, it might take longer for results, as the root cause can be deep-seated. If the current treatment isn't showing sufficient improvement, considering Panchakarma could be a good option, as it helps detoxify the body, balance doshas, and improve skin health. Detoxification helps remove toxins that may be hindering the effectiveness of herbal treatments. However, Panchakarma should only be done under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic doctor to ensure safety and proper care, especially since it can be intense for the body. The treatment process may need to be adjusted based on your brother’s specific condition, and a detailed evaluation of his diet, lifestyle, and other factors is important for personalized treatment. Patience is crucial with chronic conditions like Kushta roga, but with consistent and appropriate Ayurvedic treatment, there are often significant improvements.
