Skin Treatment

Ayurveda For Skin care beauty treatment Refer This page to a Friend! Skin Care in Ayurveda S kin is the seat of a sense organ. The senses of touch, pain, temperature, pressure are felt by it. It is a Matruj Avyava i.e. derived from mother or having maternal origin.It gives external covering to the whole body. The seven layers of skin get their nutrition from Mansa Dhatu {muscle tissue}. It is known as an UpDhatu (secondary tissue product) of the Raktadhatu (blood) because it only mimics the Dhatu's in beholding the body. It does not do Poshan Karma i.e. do not give nutrition to the other Dhatus. As skin is an Upadhatu of the Raktadhatu , it is a mirror that reflects the qualities of the Raktadhatu (blood) and the Rasadhatu (body's plasma tissue).Hence it is a common saying that 'glowing skin is the result of good quality Rasa and Rakta'. No amount of bleaching and facial massage or application of make-up through dexterity of a skilled beautician can hide the shallow look if the skin is unhealthy. Conversely, a healthy skin will always look attractive even when devoid of make-up. Characteristics of a person with ideal skin(Twak Sar / Ras Sar) People with ideal skin have soft, oily, thin, smooth and lustrous skin. They have soft, thin, scanty, oily, black and deep-rooted hair. Eye - brows and eyelashes are black and smooth. They have good eye - sight. In their eyes, pupils, cornea and sclera are very well differentiated. Mouth, Lips, Palate and Tongue are unctuous and oily. These persons do not suffer from skin diseases and their wounds heal quickly. They are intelligent and learned and have the necessary means and wealth to beget worldly pleasures. They like music. They love their family, nation, estate, and property. They enjoy a long, healthy and happy life. Know Your Ayurvedic Skin Type The first step in the holistic Ayurvedic approach to skin care is finding out your ayurvedic skin type. Vata skin is in generaly dry, thin,delicate and cool to the touch, easily gets dehydrated, and is very vulnerable to the influence of dry windy weather. Vata skin may age faster, and tends to be dry, rough and flaky when out of balance. Pitta skin type tends to be fair, sensitive, soft, warm, and of medium thickness. less tolerance to hot food, less tolerance to fieriness in temperament. Pitta skin types tend to be more prone to freckles and moles than the other skin types. When out of balance, Pitta skin can flare up in rashes, rosacea, acne, or sunspots. Kapha skin tends to have all the qualities of water and earth -- it can be oily, thick, pale, soft, cool and more tolerant of the sun. Kapha skin tends to age slower and form less wrinkles than the other two types. Kapha skin types may struggle with dull complexion, enlarged pores, excessive oil, blackheads, pimples, moist types of eczema and water retention. "Combination" skin can be Vata-Pitta, skin that is both dry and sensitive, Kapha-Pitta-skin is oily and sensitive , and Vata-Kapha- skin that is generally dry with some oily zones. The ayurvedic approach to caring for combination skin takes into account environmental and seasonal factors. For example, a person with Vata-Pitta skin would follow the recommendations for Pitta skin in summer and Vata skin in winter. The Kapha-Pitta type would follow Pitta recommendations in summer and Kapha recommendations in winter. The Vata-Kapha type would be best served by generally following Vata guidelines, with extra cleansing of the oily zones. Vata Skin Care For Vata skin to stay youthful, skin care products used should be very nurturing. They must include some essential oils or herbs in combination, which can nourish the skin and rehydrate it, otherwise it may be susceptible to wrinkles and premature aging. Going to bed on time, eating regular meals, and following a regular daily routine are essential components of a holistic approach to Vata skin care, as are eating foods that help balance Vata and nourish the Vata skin. Suggestions for caring for Vata skin: Vata skin types, for instance, will want to eat more warm, unctuous foods and favor the sweet, sour and salty tastes to balance the dry, rough, moving Vata dosha. Provide added nourishment to your skin by including organic milk, whole grains and green leafy vegetables in your diet. Drink lots of lukewarm water everyday for internal hydration. Eat plenty of sweet juicy fruits, they help cleanse the body from within and provide hydration as well. Include a little healthy fat such as Ghee (clarified butter) or olive oil in your diet for added lubrication. A warm oil self-massage is excellent for keeping skin lubricated. Use a gentle, all-natural moisturizer to keep facial skin hydrated. Provide added deep lipid support with facial oil. Get plenty of rest so your mind as well as your body have the opportunity to recharge. Use a gentle, moisture-balancing cleanser and splash your face with water several times when you cleanse. Pitta Skin Care The Pitta skin type needs both cooling and nurturing. Use skin care products that help enhance resistance to the sun. Avoid tanning treatments and therapies that expose your delicate, sensitive skin to steam for extended periods of time. The ayurvedic herb Flame of Forest can help protect Pitta skin from photosensitivity. But like other ayurvedic herbs, it needs to be used in combination with other herbs for a balanced effect on the skin. Suggestions for caring for Pitta skin: If you have a Pitta skin type you will thrive on sweet, bitter and astringent tastes, as found in sweet, juicy fruits, rose petal preserve, and cooked greens. Avoid hot, spicy foods. Stay away from harsh, synthetic cosmetics; they can damage your sensitive skin and cause breakouts. Avoid hot spicy foods and an excess of deep-fried foods, they add heat to an already fiery constitution. Eat lots of sweet juicy fruits and have some rose petal jam in cool milk every day. The rose is considered cooling for mind, body and emotions. Use cooling oil, such as coconut oil, for the daily massage. Cook with cooling spices such as fennel and licorice. Take extra care to protect your skin when you go out in the sun. Use gentle, natural skin care products for cleansing and moisturizing. Provide added lipid support, such as facial skin oil, every other day. Kapha Skin Care "Kapha skin, because of its thickness and oiliness, is more prone to accumulate ama -- toxins under the skin. People with Kapha skin need to do detoxification on a regular basis, both internal detoxification and external detoxification to flush toxins from the skin," says Mishra. Scrubbing the skin with a gentle exfoliating clay can help external cleansing. Kapha skin types may also need to take herbal formulations to cleanse the skin from within. Suggestions for caring for Kapha skin: The oiliness of Kapha type skin calls for a diet that is warmer, lighter, less oily, and free of heavy, hard to digest foods. Eating more bitter, astringent and pungent tastes help stimulate digestion and balance Kapha skin.Avoid too many sweet foods or deep-fried foods, they add to the oiliness in the skin. Exercise everyday to improve circulation. A daily warm oil massage can also help circulation. Eat plenty of organic vegetables and fruits to help cleanse the body from within. Cleanse your skin twice everyday; exfoliate with a mud-mask at least once a week. Cook with warming spices such as ginger and black pepper to stoke the digestive fire and inhibit the accumulation of ama inside the body. Nourishment for skin: Besides following the diet for your skin type, following foods are terrific skin-enhancers: leafy green vegetables; easily digested proteins such as paneer, milk, tofu, sunflower seeds; foods high in zinc such as quinoa; and beta-carotene-rich foods such as carrots and sweet cherries. Almonds and walnuts support the skin with their protein and lubricating fat content. Some skin-friendly spices include turmeric to nourish the first four layers of the skin; cumin to rid the body of ama; black pepper to cleanse the channels, and fennel to balance the transformational ability of the skin. All antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, such as pomegranate, apple, pear, and bitter, green leafy vegetables are also excellent for the skin. Eat only fresh, whole and organic foods. Stay away from packaged, canned, frozen, processed, and packaged foods. Effect of stress on skin: There are three types of stress, and all three impact the skin in different ways. Mental stress starts a chain reaction that ends in a drying out the moisture in the skin. Thinning, dryness and the shrinking of the 'shrotasa' (microchannels) that carry nutritive fluid to the skin result in wrinkles and stress lines. Emotional stress also affects the skin-just notice how anger or embarrassment can turn your face red. This shows the connection between emotions and the skin. If emotional stress becomes chronic, the result is acne, sun sensitivity, and other Pitta-based problems. Physical stress: Exercising too much, working too much, or straining the body over a period of time causes physical stress. This causes the drying out of skin moisture and rough, aged skin. To counteract mental stress, maintain a Vata-pacifying diet and daily routine. To bring emotional stress into balance, follow a Pitta-pacifying diet and routine. For physical stress, try to limit exercise or work to fifty percent of your physical stamina. Treatment for skin disease: Ayurveda has stated that skin diseases occur primarily due to sluggish liver function, which leads Pitta and Kapha Dosha dysfunction when toxins build up and the liver is overwhelmed, then the impurities show up in break-outs and other skin problems. Another vital factor that contributes to healthy appearance is the clean bowel: hence the need for regular and complete bowel evacuation. In order to achieve this, a mild laxative like Trifala and a light diet are advisable if one suffers from constipation. Also, be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day to help flush out the impurities. In spring you can sip hot water to help melt the ama (digestive impurities) that have accumulated. Scientifically treatments have been classified as shodhana & shamana. Sodhan Chikitsa: When doshas are vitated in large guantity & disease is chronic then shodhan chikitsa should apply first. Acharyas have classified shodhana as Basti, Vaman, Virechana, Raktamokshana (Blood letting) & nasya. Shaman Chikitsa: When doshas are minimally imbalanced & the body is weak. Shaman Treatment is more important. Shaman treatment can be classified as external & internal. Administration of proper food, medicines by mouth is internal treatment & the application of medicated oil, lepo (ointment), etc is external treatment. Ayurveda has said that for all skin diseases 'Khadira' is best as oral medicine and 'Aragwad' is best for local application. Shirish, Lamajjak, Nagkesara and Lodhra are used for Hyperhydrosis and as an anti sweating agent. Tejpatra, Ambu, Lodhra, Abhay {Khas} and Chandan are used as Daurghandya- har {to prevent body odour} Charaka has mentioned a group of 10 drugs, which are promoters of complexion. They are known as the 'Varnya Dravya': Chandan (Sandalwood),Lal Nagkesar (Fragrant Poon),Padmaka(Himalayan Cherry),Ushir (Cuscus Grass) ,Madhuka(Liquorice) ,Manjishtha(Madder) ,Payasa(White Yam) ,Shita (White Scutch Grass), Lata (Black Scutch Grass) . Shata Dhout Ghruta (100 times washed ghruta) :Traditional Ayurvedic Skin Cream - It's completely natural and chemical free. Very useful for achiving radient and glowing skin. Shatadhout Ghruta is preapred from organic ghee (made from cow milk) by washing it repeatedly 100 times using specific method prescribed in Ayurveda. This processtransforms the ghee into a soft ,cooling, nourishing, silky cream. Recommended use: It is an excellent Astringent, Moisturiser, Anti-wrinkle & Cleansing cream. Can be used as a daily moisturizer on the face (or whole body) or for facial massage. Also, has calming effect on reddish or burned skin, and on eczema and rosacea. Try it for yourself !

NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Betnovate Lotion 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Betamethasone Valerate 0.122% w / w 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Lotion 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications Betamethasone valerate is an active topical corticosteroid, which produces a rapid response in those inflammatory dermatoses that are normally responsive to topical corticosteroid therapy, and is often effective in the less responsive conditions such as psoriasis. Betnovate preparations are indicated of the treatment of: eczema in children and adults; including atopic and discoid eczemas, prurigo nodularis; psoriasis (excluding widespread plaque psoriasis); neurodermatoses, including lichen simplex, lichen planus, seborrhoeic dermatitis; contact sensitivity reactions; discoid lupus erythematosus and they may be used as an adjunct to systemic steroid therapy in generalised erythroderma. 4.2 Posology and method of administration A small quantity of Betnovate should be applied to the affected area two or three times daily until improvement occurs. It may then be possible to maintain improvement by applying once a day, or even less often. If no improvement is seen within two to four weeks, reassessment of the diagnosis or referral, may be necessary. Betnovate lotion is particularly suitable when a minimal application to a large area is required. In the more resistant lesions, such as the thickened plaques of psoriasis on elbows and knees, the effect of Betnovate can be enhanced, if necessary, by occluding the treatment area with polythene film. Overnight occlusion only is usually adequate to bring about a satisfactory response in such lesions. Thereafter improvement can usually be maintained by regular application without occlusion. Children Courses should be limited to five days if possible. Occlusion should not be used. 4.3 Contraindications Rosacea, acne vulgaris and perioral dermatitis. Primary cutaneous viral infections (e.g. herpes simplex, chickenpox). Hypersensitivity to the preparation. The use of Betnovate skin preparations is not indicated in the treatment of primarily infected skin lesions caused by infection with fungi (e.g. candidiasis, tinea); or bacteria (e.g. impetigo); primary or secondary infections due to yeast; perianal and genital pruritus; dermatoses in children under 1 year of age, including dermatitis and napkin eruptions. 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use Long-term continuous topical therapy should be avoided where possible, particularly in infants and children, as adrenal suppression, with or without clinical features of Cushing's syndrome, can occur even without occlusion. In this situation, topical steroids should be discontinued gradually under medical supervision because of the risk of adrenal insufficiency (see section 4.8 Undesirable Effects and Secion 4.9 Overdose). The face, more than other areas of the body, may exhibit atrophic changes after prolonged treatment with potent topical corticosteroids. This must be borne in mind when treating such conditions as psoriasis, discoid lupus erythematosus and severe eczema. If applied to the eyelids, care is needed to ensure that the preparation does not enter the eye, as glaucoma might result. If used in childhood, or on the face, courses should be limited to five days and occlusion should not be used. Topical corticosteroids may be hazardous in psoriasis for a number of reasons including rebound relapses, development of tolerance, risk of generalised pustular psoriasis and development of local or systemic toxicity due to impaired barrier function of the skin. If used in psoriasis careful patient supervision is important. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy should be used whenever treating inflammatory lesions, which have become infected. Any spread of infection requires withdrawal of topical corticosteroid therapy and systemic administration of antimicrobial agents. Bacterial infection is encouraged by the warm moist conditions induced by occlusive dressings and so the skin should be cleansed before a fresh dressing is applied. Further information: The least potent corticosteroid, which will control the disease, should be selected. None of these preparations contain lanolin. Betnovate cream and ointment and the corresponding RD preparations do not contain parabens. Betnovate lotion contains parabens. 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction None known 4.6 Pregnancy and lactation There is inadequate evidence of safety in human pregnancy. Topical administration of corticosteroids to pregnant animals can cause abnormalities of foetal development including cleft palate and intrauterine growth retardation. There may therefore be a very small risk of such effects in the human foetus. 4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines None known. 4.8 Undesirable effects Adverse events are listed below by system organ class and frequency. Frequencies are defined as: very common ( 1/10), common ( 1/100 and <1/10), uncommon ( 1/1000 and <1/100), rare ( 1/10,000 and <1/1000) and very rare (<1/10,000) including isolated reports. Very common, common and uncommon events were generally determined from clinical trial data. The background rates in placebo and comparator groups were not taken into account when assigning frequency categories to adverse events derived from clinical trial data, since these rates were generally comparable to those in the active treatment group. Rare and very rare events were generally determined from spontaneous data. Immune system disorders Very rare: Hypersensitivity. If signs of hypersensitivity appear, application should stop immediately. Endocrine disorders Very rare: Features of Cushing's syndrome As with other topical corticosteroids, prolonged use of large amounts or treatment of extensive areas can result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce suppression of the HPA axis and the clinical features of Cushing's syndrome (see Section 4.4 Special Warnings and Precautions for use). These effects are more likely to occur in infants and children, and if occlusive dressings are used. In infants the napkin may act as an occlusive dressing. Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders Common: Local skin burning and pruritus. Very rare: Local atrophic changes in the skin such as thinning, striae and dilatation of the superficial blood vessels may be caused by prolonged and intensive treatment with highly active corticosteroid preparations, particularly when occlusive dressings are used or when skin folds are involved. Pigmentation changes, hypertrichosis, allergic contact dermatitis, exacerbation of symptoms, pustular psoriasis (due to treatment of psoriasis with corticosteroids or its withdrawal: see Section 4.4. Special Warnings and Precautions for use) 4.9 Overdose Acute overdosage is very unlikely to occur. However, in the case of chronic overdosage or misuse the features of Cushing's syndromemay appear and in this situation topical steroids should be discontinued gradually under medical supervision (see Section 4.4 Special Warnings and Precautions for use). 5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES 5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties Betamethasone valerate is an active corticosteroid with topical anti-inflammatory activity. 5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroid is determined by many factors including the vehicle, the integrity of the epidermal barrier, and the use of occlusive dressings. Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids. Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are handled through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. Corticosteroids are metabolised primarily by the liver and are then excreted by the kidneys. 5.3 Preclinical safety data There are no preclinical data of relevance to the prescriber which are additional to that in other sections of the SmPC. 6.

Skin Rash information produced by medical doctors About Us | Privacy Policy MedicineNet Home Diseases & Conditions A-Z List Skin Home Page Rash search help Printer-Friendly Format | Email to a Friend 1 2 Glossary Rash Center | Next Rash 101 - Introduction to Common Skin Rashes Medical Author: Alan Rockoff, MD Medical Editor: Frederick Hecht, MD The word "rash" means an outbreak of red bumps on the body. The waypeople use this term, "a rash" can refer to many different skinconditions. The most common of these are: Scaly patches of skin not caused by infection. Scaly patches of skin produced by fungus or bacterial infection. Red, itchy bumps or patches all over the place. Although rashes are seldom dangerous, self-diagnosis is not usually a goodidea. Proper evaluation of a skin rash requires a visit to a doctor or otherhealthcare professional. The following guidelines may help you decide what categoryyour rash falls into. Scaly patches of skin not caused by infection Scaly, itchy skin patches usually represent one of the conditions referred toas eczema. Atopic dermatitis : Atopic dermatitis is perhaps the most common form of eczema. This is an hereditary skinproblem that often begins in childhood as chapped cheeks and scaly patches onthe scalp, arms, legs, and torso. Later in childhood atopic dermatitis may affect the inneraspects of the elbows and knees. Adults get atopic dermatitis on the hands, around theeyelids, on the genitals, as well as on the body as a whole. The word "dermatitis" means inflammation of the skin. "Atopic" refers to diseases that are hereditary, tend to run infamilies, and often occur together. These diseases include asthma , hay fever ,and atopic dermatitis. In atopic dermatitis, the skin becomes extremely itchyand inflamed, causing redness, swelling, cracking, weeping, crusting, andscaling. Atopic dermatitis comes and goes, often for no obvious reason. It is oftenworse in the winter months, when the air is cold and dry, however, moisturizing alone does nothelp much. Patients with atopic dermatitis may have allergies, but most cases of atopic dermatitis are notthemselves allergic. In general foods, soaps, and detergents do not play ameaningful role in producing this condition. Atopic dermatitis is not contagious, even though patches may appear on various parts ofthe body. For more information, please read the Atopic Dermatitis article. Contact dermatitis: Contact dermatitis is an often-misused term which refers to a rash brought onby contact with a specific material which causes allergy on the skin. Commonexamples are poison ivy and reactions to costume jewelry containing nickel.Contact dermatitis affects just those parts of the skin touched by whatevermaterial causes the allergy . Treatment of contact dermatitis involves avoiding a specific cause, if there is one. Mostcontact dermatitis is not allergic, however, and therefore can be treated but not prevented.Effective topical (external) include topical steroids, includingover-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone and many prescription-strength creams, aswell as the newer nonsteroidal medications tacrolimus (Protopic) and pimecrolimus (Elidil). There are of course many other scaly rashes. Two worth mentioning are psoriasis , an hereditary condition affecting elbows, knees, and elsewhere, and pityriasis rosea , which produces scaly patches on the chest and back andgenerally disappears in about a month. Xerosis , very dry skin, may also appear as a rash duringthe cold, dry months of the year. 1 2 Glossary Rash Center | Next Next: Scaly patches of skin produced by fungus or bacterial infection.
