Say Goodbye to Skin & Stomach Troubles Monsoon with Ayurvedic Healing

Introduction: Why Monsoon Triggers Skin & Stomach Issues

Humidity is increased in monsoon season. It creates a soggy and wet environment. This moisture gives an ideal environment for germs and fungi to grow. At the same time, rainfall frequently combines with drinking water sources, making food and beverages more prone to contamination.

All these factors create an ideal environment for skin infections and digestive problems. The high humidity and continual moisture in the air trap perspiration and moisture on the body. It creates,

• Fungal infections
• Itching
• Rashes

As per Ayurveda,

• Excess Kapha causes oily, sticky skin that is prone to infections.
• Excess Pitta produces irritation, burning, and rashes.

Why are digestive issues common in Monsoon?

• Sudden temperature changes
• Contaminated water or food
• Increased Kapha and Ama (toxins)

Ayurveda says that both preventive care like eating freshly cooked foods, avoiding cold drinks and curative care like Trikatu Churna, Hingvastak Churna is important to restore balance.

Common Skin and Stomach Issues in Monsoon Season

2. Rashes, itching, and flare-ups

Ayurvedic Diagnosis: Understanding the Root Cause

Dosha Imbalance in Monsoon

• Aggravated Vata because of cold and irregular weather conditions.
• Aggravated Pitta produces excess sweating and skin irritation. It disturbs digestion and metabolism.
• Accumulation of Ama (toxins) leads to skin and gut issues

Disease View in Ayurveda

1. Skin issues:

• Aggravation of Pitta dosha causes redness and burning.
• Excess of Kapha dosha causes oily skin and fungal infection.
• Raktadhatu (Blood tissue) shows up through the skin when it is unclean or warm.

2. Stomach issues:

• Mandagni: Mandagni is a lowered digestive fire that fails to properly metabolize food, resulting in Ama (toxins).
• Vata disturbance: Vata is responsible for movement. When it disrupts, it produces irregular digestion, gas, and pain.

3. You need two therapies:

Shamana (pacification): Changes in diet and modifications in lifestyle are recommended in this therapy.

Shodhana (cleansing): It includes detoxification therapies

• Virechana- Cleansing for Pitta
• Basti- Cleansing for Vata
• Raktamokshana
