Dry Lips Causes: Could Ayurveda Help Identify the Root Issue? - #16286

Anonymous

For the past few months, I’ve been struggling with constantly dry lips, and I can’t figure out why. No matter how much lip balm I use, my lips stay chapped, cracked, and sometimes even peel. I drink a lot of water throughout the day, so I don’t think dehydration is the issue. But still, my lips feel rough, and some days they even burn slightly. I started looking into dry lips causes, and there seem to be so many possibilities. Some say it’s due to a vitamin deficiency, others blame weather changes, and then there are people who say it could be related to digestion or internal imbalances. Now I’m wondering if Ayurveda has a different explanation for this. Could dry lips causes be linked to excessive heat in the body or an imbalance in Pitta dosha? I also noticed that my digestion hasn’t been great lately—I feel bloated after meals, and I sometimes get acid reflux. Could this be related? I read that Ayurveda connects gut health to skin and hydration. Does that mean my dry lips causes could be something deeper than just external dryness? I’ve tried switching to natural lip balms, but they only give temporary relief. Are there Ayurvedic remedies that help heal dry lips causes from the inside out? I saw mentions of ghee, coconut oil, and honey for lip hydration, but do they actually treat the root cause? And are there any herbs that help balance internal dryness? If anyone has successfully healed dry lips causes through Ayurveda, what worked for you? Did diet changes make a difference, or was it more about lifestyle adjustments? I’d love to hear real experiences before I try anything new.

Doctors’ responses

Namaste, Constantly dry lips, despite adequate hydration, indicate an internal imbalance rather than just external dryness. Ayurveda views dry, chapped lips as a sign of excess Vata or Pitta dosha—either Vata (dehydration, roughness) or Pitta (heat, acidity, inflammation) imbalance could be the root cause. Since you also experience bloating and acid reflux, this suggests Pitta-Vata aggravation in the digestive system, which affects the body's ability to nourish and hydrate the tissues, including the lips. To address this internally, start by correcting digestion. Take Tab Shaddharan (½ tablet twice before meals for a week) to regulate digestion and reduce bloating. Follow it with Avipattikar Churna (1 tsp with warm water before bed) if acidity persists. Include cooling and hydrating foods like ghee, coconut water, soaked almonds, and fresh fruits while avoiding spicy, fried, and excessively salty foods, which worsen dryness. For external nourishment, apply ghee or honey on your lips at night—they act as natural humectants while balancing internal heat. If dryness persists, take Shatavari Kalpa (1 tsp with warm milk twice daily) to restore hydration at a deeper level. Also, practice oil pulling with coconut or sesame oil in the morning to enhance overall moisture retention. With these changes, your lips will gradually heal, and your digestion will improve, ensuring long-term relief rather than just temporary fixes. Wishing you well on your Ayurvedic journey!
