Keratosis pilaris is a skin condition caused by excess keratin buildup, which blocks hair follicles, often related to a Vata-Kapha imbalance in Ayurveda. While it is not harmful, consistent Ayurvedic care can significantly improve skin texture and appearance. Here’s a comprehensive plan to address it:
1. External Treatments for Skin Renewal
Exfoliate gently using a paste made from besan (gram flour), turmeric, and milk twice a week. This removes keratin plugs and softens the skin.
Massage affected areas with warm coconut oil or sesame oil infused with neem or turmeric. Do this daily to moisturize and reduce dryness.
2. Detoxify Internally
Take Triphala Churna (1 teaspoon) with warm water at bedtime. This cleanses the body, removes toxins (Ama), and supports skin health.
Drink a decoction of Manjistha or take capsules (500 mg twice daily) to purify the blood and reduce inflammation.
3. Hydration and Nutrition
Stay hydrated by drinking 2–3 liters of warm water daily. Add a few drops of lemon or coriander seeds for better detoxification.
Include healthy fats in your diet, such as ghee, coconut oil, and flaxseeds, to nourish the skin and balance Vata.
4. Diet for Healthy Skin
Focus on Pitta-pacifying foods such as leafy greens, cucumbers, pomegranate, and aloe vera juice. Avoid spicy, oily, and overly salty foods, which can aggravate skin issues.
Consume Amla (Indian gooseberry) daily, either fresh or as a juice, to boost Vitamin C and improve skin elasticity.
5. Lifestyle Adjustments
Avoid harsh soaps and hot showers, as they can dry out the skin further. Use a mild, herbal cleanser instead.
Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing to minimize friction on the skin.
6. Stress Management
Practice Pranayama like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) and yoga poses such as Balasana (Child’s Pose) and Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose) to reduce stress, which can worsen skin issues.
7. Panchakarma Therapy (Optional)
Under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner, therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) and Virechana (purgation therapy) can help remove deep-seated toxins and improve skin health.
Follow this plan consistently for 6–8 weeks to see noticeable improvements. If symptoms persist, consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized care.
