आजकल के समय में जहां हर रोज़ नई-नई बीमारियां अपने पैर पसार रही हैं, वहीं, आपने देखा होगा कि कई लोगों के शरीर पर सफ़ेद दाग होते हैं, जिन्हें आमतौर पर विटिलिगो भी कहा जाता है। हालांकि, त्वचा संबंधी इस बीमारी में यूं तो कोई परेशानी नहीं होती, लेकिन शरीर पर यह सफ़ेद दाग दिखने में अच्छे नहीं लगते, जिसके कारण इस समस्या से जूझ रहे लोगों का confidence level भी कम हो जाता है। यह सफेद दाग (Vitiligo) किसी भी खूबसूरती में दाग की तरह होता है। इसलिए लोग खासतौर पर महिलाएं इससे बचने के उपायों की तलाश में रहती हैं। अगर आप भी ऐसे ही लोगों में से एक हैं तो आइए आज इस article के माध्यम से आयुर्वेदिक एक्सपर्ट डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी (BAMS, Dr. Health) से जानते हैं की सफेद दाग यानी विटिलिगो से कैसे करें बचाव, क्या खाएं, और क्या नहीं।

विश्व विटिलिगो दिवस हर साल 25 जून को मनाया जाता है। विटिलिगो यानी त्वचा पर होने वाले सफेद दागों के कारण त्वचा काफी खराब होने लगती है। विटिलिगो बीमारी त्वचा संबंधित एक विकार है जिसका इलाज बहुत जरूरी है, इसके पीछे कई कारण हो सकते हैं। लेकिन जरूरी नहीं कि इससे छुटकारा नहीं पाया जा सकता बल्कि आप अपनी कुछ आदतों को सुधार कर और विटिलिगो के आयुर्वेदिक इलाज के साथ आसानी से इससे राहत पा सकते हैं। आपको जानकार हैरानी होगी कि विटिलिगो को आप अपनी डाइट में सुधार करके दूर कर सकते हैं। जी हां, आप अपने खानपान की कुछ आदतों में बदलाव कर त्वचा पर आए सफेद दागों से छुटकारा पा सकते हैं। हमने इस विषय पर Dr. Health की skin expert, holistic एवं clinical diet specialist डॉक्टर मेघा चतुर्वेदी से बात की, जिन्होंने हमें बताया की विटिलिगो के दौरान त्वचा की देखभाल और डाइट चार्ट कैसा होना चाहिए।

विटिलिगो या सफ़ेद दाग होने पर अपनी त्वचा की खास देखभाल करनी बहुत जरूरी होती है। विटिलिगो के रोगियों को डॉक्टर की सलाह से ही किसी भी उत्पाद का इस्तेमाल करना चाहिए। जानें विटिलिगो के लिए स्किन केयर रूटीन:

डॉक्टर मेघा चतुर्वेदी बताती हैं कि विटिलिगो वाली त्वचा बहुत अधिक संवेदनशील होती है, इसलिए इसे धूप से बचाना अति आवश्यक होता है। इसके लिए SPF 30 या इससे अधिक का सनस्क्रीन इस्तेमाल करने की वह सलाह देती हैं। सनस्क्रीन त्वचा को सूर्य की हानिकारक किरणों से राहत प्रदान करता है। घर से बाहर निकलने से 15-20 मिनट पहले सनस्क्रीन जरूर लगाएं। डॉक्टर मेघा कहती हैं, विटिलिगो की स्थिति में हर 2 घंटे में सनस्क्रीन का इस्तेमाल करना चाहिए। इससे त्वचा सूरज की हानिकारक किरणों से सुरक्षित रहेगी।

त्वचा को धूप से बचाने के लिए सनस्क्रीन का इस्तेमाल करने के साथ ही त्वचा को सुरक्षित रखने वाले कपड़े पहनना भी बहुत जरूरी है। इसके लिए आप फुल स्लीव्स (full-sleeves) की शर्ट पहन सकते हैं, यह आपको सुरक्षा प्रदान करेगी। विटिलिगो की स्थिति में आपको अपने डॉक्टर की सलाह अनुसार ही कपड़ों का चुनाव करना चाहिए। कपड़ों का भी SPF होता है, ऐसे में डॉक्टर आपको सही कपड़ों का चुनाव करने में मदद करेंगे।

अगर आपके गर्दन या चेहरे पर सफेद दाग हैं, तो आपको मेकअप का भी सहारा ले सकते हैं। सफेद दाग को छिपाने के लिए आप सुरक्षित कंसीलर का इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं। लेकिन कंसीलर का इस्तेमाल करने से पहले अपने डॉक्टर ही राय जरूर लें।

तनाव और स्ट्रेस विटिलिगो का एक अहम् कारण हो सकता है। इसलिए इस स्थिति से निपटने के लिए आपको तनाव से मुक्त रहना बहुत जरूरी है। इसके लिए आप पर्याप्त नींद लें, मेडिटेशन करें, और अपने मानसिक संतुलन को बनाए रखें।

सफ़ेद दाग यानी विटिलिगो को नियंत्रण में रखने के लिए आपको अपने खान-पान की तरफ भी ध्यान देना होगा। त्वचा को स्वस्थ रखने के लिए आपको बैलेंस डाइट लेनी चाहिए। इसके लिए अपनी डाइट में हरी पत्तेदार सब्जियों और रंगीन फलों को शामिल करना आवश्यक है। इन फलों-सब्जियों में एंटीऑक्सीडेंट्स (Antioxidants) मौजूद होते हैं, जो कि स्वस्थ त्वचा के लिए आवश्यक हैं।

स्वस्थ रहने के साथ ही बीमारियों से लड़ने में सही खान-पान की बहुत अहम भूमिका है। कुछ ऐसा ही विटिलिगो के साथ भी है। दवाओं के साथ ही सही खाद्य पदार्थों का सेवन करना, इस स्थिति को कुछ बेहतर बना सकता है। इसी वजह से विटिलिगो के लिए सही डाइट को फॉलो करना जरूरी है। यहां सफेद दाग में क्या खाएं, इससे जुड़ी सावधानियां और सफेद दाग में क्या नहीं खाना चाहिए, इसके बारे में बताया गया है।

विटिलिगो यानि सफ़ेद दाग से ग्रस्त लोगों को शराब पीने से बचना चाहिए। इसके अलावा, विटामिन बी -12, विटामिन सी, विटामिन डी, एमिनो एसिड, और बीटा कैरोटीन की खुराक को नियंत्रित रखना भी काफी जरूरी है। तांबा, लोहा, और जस्ता को भी शामिल किया जा सकता है। सबसे जरूरी बात कि आपको यह समझना होगा कि विटिलिगो को आयुर्वेदिक इलाज और बैलेंस डाइट के द्वारा कण्ट्रोल किआ जा सकता है। स्वस्थ आहार खाने से स्थिति को और अधिक खराब होने से रोकने में मदद मिल सकती है।

ग्रीन टी – ग्रीन टी हमारे स्वास्थ्य के लिए कितनी फायदेमंद है ये तो सभी जानते हैं, ये विटिलिगो रोग के लिए भी काफी असरदार होती है। एक्सपर्ट डॉक्टर मेघा चतुर्वेदी का कहना है कि जिन लोगों को विटिलिगो यानि सफ़ेद दाग है, उन लोगों को अपनी डाइट में ग्रीन टी को शामिल करना जरूरी है, क्योंकि ग्रीन टी में एपिगैलोकैटेचिन-3 गैलेट तत्व की मात्रा अधिक होते हैं, जो आपकी त्वचा पर आए सफेद दाग को कम करने का काम करते हैं।

केला – त्वचा पर आए सफेद दाग की समस्या को दूर करने के लिए केले को अपनी डाइट में जरूर शामिल करें। केले में काफी मात्रा में विटामिन्स और मिनिरल्स मौजूद होते हैं जिनकी मदद से आप आसानी से अपनी त्वचा को स्वस्थ रख सकते हैं।

सेब – सेब आपके स्वास्थ्य के लिए बहुत फायदेमंद होता है, और सेब विटिलिगो की समस्या को भी आसानी से दूर करता है। जी हां, एक्सपर्ट डॉक्टर मेघा चतुर्वेदी के मुताबिक, सेब खाने से आपकी त्वचा में मौजूद सेल्स की सुरक्षा होती है। इसलिए विटिलिगो की बीमारी से निपटने के लिए भी आपको रोजाना सेब का सेवन करना चाहिए।

ब्रोकली – स्किन एक्सपर्ट डॉक्टर मेघा के मुताबिक, विटिलिगो के डाइट चार्ट में ब्रोकली को शामिल करना बहुत जरूरी है। ब्रोकली में अधिक मात्रा में अल्फा लिपोइक एसिड होता है जो आपकी त्वचा के लिए एक एंटीऑक्सीडेंट का काम करता है।

पालक – पालक हमारे शरीर के लिए बहुत फायदेमंद होती है, जिससे आप आसानी से कई बीमारियों से बचाव कर सकते हैं। साथ ही पालक आपकी त्वचा संबंधित समस्या विटिलिगो रोग को भी दूर कर सकती है। डॉक्टर मेघा कहती हैं कि पालक में अधिक मात्रा में लिपोइक एसिड मौजूद होता है जो त्वचा में एंटीऑक्सीडेंट का काम करता है। इसलिए अगर आप विटिलिगो से परेशान हैं तो पालक का सेवन जरूर करें।

इस आर्टिकल में दी गई जानकारी स्किन एक्सपर्ट डॉक्टर मेघा चतुर्वेदी से बातचीत पर आधारित है। विटिलिगो या सफेद दाग होने पर आपको आयुर्वेदिक स्किन एक्सपर्ट से संपर्क करना बहुत जरूरी होता है। यह रोग सही और हर्बल इलाज से ही ठीक हो सकता है। विटिलिगो की स्थिति में कोई भी प्रोडक्ट डॉक्टर की सलाह पर ही इस्तेमाल करें। सफेद दाग से परेशान हैं तो आयुर्वेदिक एक्सपर्ट डॉक्टर मेघा चतुर्वेदी से सफेद दाग से बचाने वाले नेचुरल तरीकों और आयुर्वेदिक इलाज के बारे में जानें।

Skincare Myths on the Internet Debunked by Skincare Expert – Dr. Megha Chaturvedi

Thanks to the internet & old wives’ tales, there are ‘n’ numbers of skincare advice being thrown around—and not all of it is good. In fact, some of this ‘advice’ can really be harmful to your skin & health. With the help of Dr. Megha Chaturvedi (BAMS), a skincare specialist at Dr. Health, I investigated five common skin care claims to see exactly why they don’t hold up. Continue to read this article, and see what I found out below, plus, get recommendations for what you should be doing instead.

Everyone wants to feel beautiful with the skin they’re in. So, to take care of your skin, you purchase a bunch of products, listen to advice on the internet or from friends & family, and think you’re set. But unfortunately, it is not always as simple as that.

Today, my blog is all set & prepared to bust some very popular myths on the internet. I asked Dr. Megha Chaturvedi, consultant skincare expert at Dr. Health, to clear up the truth behind these common beauty fables… So without further ado, let’s start with. Here are a few skincare myths you don’t want to be fooled by.

Myth #1:Not Washing your Face Causes Acne & Breakouts

Fact: By stating this, I am not upholding unhygienic practices. Hygiene is critical to each individual’s overall health & also plays an important role in skincare. Dr. Megha Chaturvedi says, “Hygiene doesn't play a vital role in the development of Acne. Acne involves oil production, bacteria, clogged pores, & inflammation, with hormones & stress playing a significant role and diet (to a lesser extent) for some individuals.” Not washing your face might not be a great idea when it comes to managing breakouts & Acne, but it is not the definitive cause that leads to them.

Myth #2: Higher the SPF, the Better the Sun Protection

Fact: Believe it or not, but this is a myth that most of us have fallen for while shopping for sunscreen. Most of the individuals are under the impression that if SPF is higher, the sunscreen will provide better sun protection & prevent them from tanning. However, SPF (Sun Protection Factor) works inversely – above a higher SPF barely has any benefits over a lower SPF. An SPF 30 blocks 97% UV rays, whereas SPF 50 blocks 98% UV rays. Dr. Megha says, “SPF 30 is more than sufficient for everyday use, and anything higher than this is just a marketing gimmick and an unnecessary feed for your skin.”

Myth #3: You’ll Age Faster if you Wear Makeup Regularly

Fact: Makeup is a women’s best friend, but is it true that makeup can turn into an enemy which causes premature aging? Honestly speaking, this is a myth that I was eager to bust. With a good skincare routine, there is nothing on this planet that can make you age faster. Dr. Megha Chaturvedi says, “one needs to ensure that they are using good quality products & then removing them all before they call it for the day. And, these two things will go a very long way.”

Myth #4: Dark Circles are a Sign you're Tired.

Fact: Dark circles are often considered the universal sign of being tired. While a lack of sleep can cause dark circles under your eyes, it’s not the only possible cause. “Discoloration around the eyes occurs when blood & fluids are not circulating efficiently”, points out Dr. Megha Chaturvedi. She also says, “you might be wondering why you have dark circles if you are not tired. A variety of factors can cause you to look tired & worn down.”

Yes, a lack of sleep can definitely exacerbate the issue, but it is not the only cause. It could mean that you have a lack of iron or are not getting enough oxygen, she adds. Not to mention, dark circles also become much more prominent the thinner the skin is, and that naturally occurs with age.

Myth #5: Only Teenagers can Get Acne & Pimples

Fact: As teenagers, we are often told that we will eventually outgrow Acne as we grow up. Though it is true that teenagers get Acne as they go through puberty & have fluctuating levels of hormones, they are not the only ones who can get it. But, Dr. Megha Chaturvedi (BAMS) claims, “Acne can occur at any point in our lives, including adulthood. While pregnancy & menopause are the common culprits of Acne & pimples, poor lifestyle habits, inadequate water intake, irregular eating habits, pollution, etc., can cause it too.”

Unfortunately, acne triggers are not age-dependent but can be managed using herbal Ayurvedic treatment & skincare remedies. Basic habits like cleansing twice a day, following the basic skincare routine, always taking off your makeup at night, and eating well can go a long way in achieving clearer & better-nourished skin, she says.

Words from Dr. Megha Chaturvedi

Stay away from these skincare myths and follow the right advice. At the end of the day, there is a lot of information out there that might not be true. In fact, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t. Plus, there are so many people out there who either claim to be experts or find skincare hacks that they think are game-changers but aren’t doing your skin any favors.

Now, it’s time to put your knowledge up & put together a skincare routine that can help keep your complexion in tip-top shape.

6 Common Skin Problems In Summers

When riding through these busy roads to my office, I have seen many people who are indulged in their daily work without even using any sunblocks or any accessories such as a hat, mask, or sunglasses. This has made me to wonder that there will be thousands of people who go through such difficulties in their lives, and this has insisted me to inform everyone about the skin problems that one face in the summers.

Every one of us has to go outside, maybe to work, go shopping, or play, so it is essential to understand the consequences of sun exposure.

I personally advise children, young adults, and working men and women to foresee the dangerous effects of sun exposure as they cause changes in the skin, Early aging, Eye injury, Lowered immune system, and skin cancer. In this blog, 6 common skin problems that people experience in the summer will be discussed.

Heat Rash

Heat rash develops on our skin when the sweat glands under the skin surface get blocked or inflamed. The blockage or inflammation is mainly caused due to increased heat and humidity. When these ducts get blocked, the sweat does not evaporate; rather than that, it gets trapped beneath the skin. When heat rash develops, it will cause the formation of an itchy rash that results in tiny red bumps. This skin problem is also called prickly skin. You can prevent it by avoiding exposure to the sun and by wearing loose-fitting clothing.

Acne Breakouts

Acne formation mainly takes place when oil and bacteria get clogged in the pores of the skin. When you are out in the sun exposing yourself to harmful rays, it can cause excessive sweatiness. When we sweat, it causes oil and bacteria to build up, which gives the perfect environment for acne to develop. If you are struggling with an acne problem, it is recommended to take precautions to avoid sweating and use clean towels to cleanse your face and with that, wash your sweaty clothes before use.

All the above-given information is delivered to inform the people about the harmful effects of sun exposure and some skin complications one might go through in the summer season. Being aware of these skin problems, one can opt for a better resolution if they expose themselves to the sun or are living in a place where temperatures are high.

We at Dr.Health have dedicated our services to the betterment of people struggling with skin problems. Here at Dr. Health, the treatment is based on the ancient science of Ayurveda that uses herbal medicines, a suitable diet, and appropriate exercise for the betterment of people affected with Psoriasis, Vitiligo, Acne, and Eczema.

Is It Safe To Drink Milk After Chicken? Here’s The Answer!

Do you think twice before taking milk because you had chicken or fish for lunch or dinner? It's not just you – there are many who are uncertain about this combination, which is considered harmful. In fact, some even believe the combination can give you white spots or infections.

An expert Ayurvedic practitioner from Dr. Health - Dr. Megha Chaturvedi says, "Chicken & milk must never be consumed together. It can cause terrible allergies."

It is the popular belief that the combination of certain foods & drinks, due to their properties, are not acclaimed for human consumption. Even an Ayurveda principle states – Foods requiring different digestive environments need to be consumed in isolation. Therefore, it is mandatory to eat the appropriate type of combination at the right time or interval to avoid ruining your health.

Since time immemorial, one big glass of milk has been a favorite nutritional portion for Indian mothers. For its ‘n’ numbers of health benefits, milk has been hyped as a complete food. Barring iron, milk is packed with all vital nutrients, such as carbs, fats, fibers, proteins, and vitamins. Perhaps, this is why the people who are quite wary of the time should be cautious before having milk, the quantity of milk, & what all they should be teaming milk with.

For instance, some people say milk should not be teamed with chicken or fish or any other non-veg foodstuff as it can cause tummy problems due to upset doshas. A modern-day Ayurveda expert, Dr. Megha Chaturvedi, also claims that the combination may also trigger white spots (called vitiligo).

As per Ayurveda, the primary reason for this is the misbalance of three doshas – Kapha, Vata, & Pitta. This may wreak havoc on one’s health & well-being. The combination of milk with chicken (or any non-veg stuff) might not be a good idea as the digestion process of milk differs from the digestion process of chicken (rich in protein). At the same time, it takes longer to digest milk due to the protein (called casein) in it. Having both foods together may hinder the overall digestion process. Having milk & chicken might therefore cause toxins to accumulate in the body.

Frequent consumption of this combination can even lead to adverse effects in the long run. These effects may include gut-related issues like stomach ache, indigestion, nausea, bloating, gas, ulcers, bad odor, constipation, acid reflux, etc. This is, however, not scientifically proven & is an observation that is based on individual experiences of people who might have consumed milk chicken at times or frequently.

Another usually perceived side-effect of consuming milk chicken together is skin patches or disorders. This ailment is called vitiligo – a skin pigmentation issue that causes white spots on the skin, & with no known reasons for its occurrence. Apparently, even this notion has no scientific proof. Both milk and chicken have different sets of proteins. Even, the protein included in chicken might be far more complex than the protein found in milk, & even for people who are lactose-tolerant, the mixing of these two kinds of proteins during digestion may not be appropriate.

All the aforesaid information mentioned may not be applicable for people who have a strong digestive system and can easily digest any sort of food or food combinations. Those with sensitive digestion should avoid milk chicken (or milk & any non-vegetarian) together. Let us tell you that eating such food can cause many skin problems, such as psoriasis, code, & leucoderma (vitiligo). Yes, it takes time to digest meat & for this reason, non-vegetarian food should not be consumed for at least 3 hours after the consumption of milk.

A healthy diet also means keeping away from toxic or harmful food items or food combinations in order to ensure a better way of lifestyle. After all, a healthy gut is essential to sustain & also promote a healthy body!

Causes of Acne: तनाव ही नहीं इन 5 कारणों से भी होते हैं मुहांसे, जानिये कैसे रखें अपनी स्किन को Acne Free

क्या आप नियमित रूप से मुहांसों से पीड़ित रहते हैं? अगर हाँ, तो आपने पहले से ही इस समस्या से राहत पाने के लिए अलग-अलग तरीकों से कोशिश की होगी। हालांकि, अगर आप वन-साइज फिट सोल्युशन ढूँढ रहे हैं तो ज्यादा सम्भावना है की यह काम नहीं करेगा। क्यों? ऐसा इसीलिए क्योंकि मुहांसे के कई कारण होते हैं और प्रत्येक कारण के लिए एक अलग समाधान जरुरी है। स्किन स्पेशलिस्ट डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी ने इस आर्टिकल में इन अलग-अलग कारणों पर चर्चा की है। डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी कहती हैं "मुहांसे त्वचा की सबसे आम बीमारी है। यह 85% किशोरों, 4% पुरुषों, और 51% महिलाओं को प्रभावित करती है।
मुहांसे शुरू में किसी छोटे दाने या उभार की तरह महसूस होते हैं। फिर धीरे-धीरे करीब 5-7 दिन में पकते हैं और पूरी तरह खत्म होने में करीब 10-15 दिन ले लेते हैं। इतने पर भी हमारे चेहरे या गर्दन पर निशान छोड़ जाते हैं, जो महीनों तक हमारी त्वचा पर बना रहता है। वाकई एक्ने ना केवल हमें शारीरिक दर्द देते हैं, बल्कि मानसिक दर्द भी देते हैं। ऐसे में इनसे बचने के तरीके जानना बेहद जरूरी हैं...
हमारे चेहरे पर पिम्पल्स उग आने की इकलौती वजह हमारा स्ट्रेस नहीं होता हैं। बल्कि हमारे पेट में जमा कब्ज, गड़बड़ाए हुए हॉर्मोन्स, और हमारे शरीर में मौजूद अन्य बीमारियां भी होती हैं। कई बार शरीर की अंदरूनी नहीं बल्कि स्किन प्रॉब्लमस के कारण भी हमें पिम्पल्स होते हैं।

स्ट्रेस भले ही मानसिक बीमारी है लेकिन पूरे शरीर और एनर्जी लेवल को प्रभावित करती है। इसीलिए यह कहा जाता है की स्ट्रेस से बचने के उपाये अपनाएं। स्ट्रेस के कारण हमारे शरीर से हैप्पी हॉर्मोन रिलीज़ होना कम हो जाता है। हमारे दिमाग को हैपी और रिलैक्स रखने में एंडोर्फिन और डोपामाइन नाम के हॉर्मोन्स मेन रोल प्ले करते हैं। लेकिन स्ट्रेस के कारण इन हॉर्मोन्स का बनना कम हो जाता है और हमारी बॉडी हॉर्मोनल डिस्बैलेंस का शिकार हो जाती है। और इसी के कारण हमारे चेहरे पर मुहांसे उग जाते हैं।

आमतौर पर गर्भावस्था, माहवारी, स्तनपान, और बच्चे के जन्म के कुछ हफ़्तों बाद शरीर में हॉर्मोन तेजी से बदलते हैं। और यही कारण है की इस दौरान महिलाओं में मुहांसों की समस्या बढ़ जाती है। हार्मोनल बदलाव के कारण शरीर में पीएच का संतुलन बिगड़ जाता है और हमारी त्वचा में तेल का उत्पादन बढ़ जाता है, और फलस्वरूप मुहांसे निकलने शुरू हो जाते हैं। अगर पिम्पल्स निकलने का कारण हार्मोनल का असंतुलन है तो ऐसे में पिम्पल्स पर क्रीम या कोई घरेलू उपाए काम नहीं करेगा, ऐसे हालात में आप एक आयुर्वेदिक स्किन स्पेशलिस्ट से संपर्क कर सकते हैं।

कई बार खान-पान ठीक न होने के कारण या पेट से सम्बंधित किसी दिक्कत के चलते हमें कब्ज की समस्या हो जाती है। और इसी कारण हमारे शरीर के विषाक्त तत्व बाहर नहीं निकल पाते। लेकिन, हमारी बॉडी किसी भी तरह का गार्बेज को अपने अंदर नहीं समेटती है और उसे बाहर निकालने का रास्ता खोज ही लेती है। कब्ज के कारण जो हार्मफुल एलिमेंट्स हमारी बॉडी के अंदर पनपते हैं, हमारा मेटाबोलिज्म उन्हें स्किन के रोम छिद्रों दवारा बाहर फेकने लगता है। इसी दौरान ये विषाक्त तत्व हमारी स्किन के पोर्स को बंद कर देते हैं और हमारी स्किन सांस नहीं ले पाती। कारणवश हमारी त्वचा में बैक्टीरिया पनपने लगते हैं, जो पिम्पल्स के रूप में हमे नज़र आते हैं।

कुछ लोगों की स्किन बहुत ज्यादा सेंसिटिव होती है। अधिक सेंसिटिव स्किन वाले लोगों को पिम्पल्स, ब्लैक हेड्स, और वाइट हेड्स जैसी समस्याएं अधिक सताती हैं। और जिन लोगों की स्किन बहुत ज्यादा ऑयली या ड्राई होती है, उनकी स्किन पर भी एक ख़ास तरह का बैक्टीरिया एक्टिव रहता है, जो की पिम्पल्स की वजह बनता है। यदि आपके चेहरे, पीठ, और कन्धों पर लगातार पिम्पल्स पनप रहे हैं तो इसका कारण स्किन बैक्टीरिया हो सकते हैं। ऐसे में बहुत जरुरी है कि आप डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी जैसे आयुर्वेदिक स्किन स्पेशलिस्ट से ट्रीटमेंट लें।

बॉडी पर कहीं भी और खासतौर पर चचरे पर उगते हुए पिम्पल्स की एक खास वजह किसी अज्ञात दवाई का रिएक्शन भी हो सकता है। कई बार हम एक बीमारी को ठीक करने के लिए कई प्रकार की दवाईयां लेते हैं, जो की हमारी उस बीमारी को तो ठीक कर देती है लेकिन उन दवाईयों की गर्मी के कारण या उनके रिएक्शन के कारण हमारे चेहरे पर पिम्पल्स निकलने लगते हैं। इसकी एक ख़ास वजह उन दवाइयों के कारण डिस्टर्ब हुआ डायजेस्टिव सिस्टम भी हो सकता है। ऐसे में जरुरी है की डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी जैसे आयुर्वेदिक स्किन स्पेशलिस्ट से जरूर संपर्क करें।

मुहांसों का परमानेंट आयुर्वेदिक इलाज - Dr. Health

ऐसे में इन परेशानियों से बचने के लिए हमें आयुर्वेदिक इलाज की ओर रुख लेना चाहिए। आयुर्वेद में मुहांसों की परेशानियों को दूर करने के कई बेहतरीन उपाए हैं, जिससे आपकी स्किन से न सिर्फ कील मुहांसे दूर होंगे बल्कि कई अन्य समस्याएं भी दूर होंगी। डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी आर्य़ुवेद द्वारा सुझाए गए कुछ घेरलू उपाय और हर्बल दवाइयां लेने का सुझाव देती हैं, जिन्हें अपनाकर आप मुंहासों को बाय बाय कर सकते हैं।

Dandruff vs. Scalp Psoriasis

Psoriasis the Leading Cause:

To understand more about Scalp Psoriasis, we must know what Psoriasis is. Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease visible as raised red bumps on the skin that might cause itchiness, dryness, inflammation, and scaly skin. Psoriasis varies based on severity and the area affected by it.

There are various forms of Psoriasis, such as Plaque, Inverse, Pustular, Erythrodermic, and Guttate. Areas of the body such as forearms, shins, navel, and Scalp get affected when struggling from Psoriasis.

The Red Scaly Patches of Scalp Psoriasis:

Scalp psoriasis is mainly caused to people who are already struggling with Psoriasis. Scalp Psoriasis is a common autoimmune skin condition that affects the surface of the Scalp. It occurs when your body's immune system mistakenly affects the skin cells of your Scalp, which causes them to grow rapidly. The rapid growth causes the accumulation of the skin cells on the surface of the Scalp, which causes:
1) Red bumps on the skin with flakes and silvery scales.
2) The red scaly patches may extend beyond the hairline and even affect the other body parts.
3) The patches will cause soreness and itchiness.

Dandruff the white flakes:

Dandruff is a skin disorder that primarily affects the Scalp. Dandruff development is generally caused due to genetic and environmental factors. The symptoms of Dandruff include flaking, mild itchiness on the skin, red and greasy patches on the skin, which cause a tingling sensation.
Ideally, the skin cells take a month to mature and shed themselves, but when struggling with Dandruff, the skin cells mature within 2-7 days. As the skin cells grow rapidly, the shedding process results in the accumulation of dead skin, oily clumps, and white or greyish flakes on the Scalp.

For Dandruff and scalp Psoriasis Ayurveda has a proper treatment that cures the root cause of the disease with the help of herbal medications.

To manage mild Dandruff, gentle shampoos can be used to remove the excessive oil and skin cell build-up, and if that does not work, switching to medicated shampoo might bring relief. Hair and Scalp products are available in the form of oil, gels, sprays, ointments, solutions, and foams.

For Scalp Psoriasis, natural medicines are perfect as they help to ease symptoms. The remedies are safe and can be administered by oneself, but if this condition worsens, it is necessary to speak to a doctor and manage it.

Here at Dr. Health, Ayurvedic remedies are adhered with the guidance of our expert Dermatologist Dr. Mega Chaturvedi who has expertise in treating skin-related disorders. With the help of her treatment, thousands are living a happy life. At our treatment centre, Dandruff and Scalp Psoriasis is treated with the help of medicines that contain natural skin healing properties that assist in treating scaly itchy patches, decrease pain, redness, inflammation, and flaking.

Ayurveda Vitiligo Treatment

Vitiligo is a rare skin disorder that causes the skin to lose its color and form smooth white patches in different parts of the body. It is also termed as Leucodermia, which means ‘to have white skin’. It is an autoimmune condition, wherein, the immune cells of our body attack the functioning of healthy organs. In this case, the melanocytes or the skin cells that produce melanin, responsible for providing skin color and texture, are destroyed by the body’s immune system. Also, if the spot is less than 5mm it will be termed as macules and patches for the spot greater than that.

Vitiligo is not so rare but rare to be found as approximately 2% of the total population and an estimated 2 to 5 million suffer from it. Vitiligo is expected to start showing its effects from an early age of 10 and in most cases fully developed until the age of 40. There is no evident proof that vitiligo follows a genetic transmission but nearly around 30% of the affected patients have a family member with this disease.

Vitiligo progresses with a few small patches that may spread over large body parts within the course of few months. It usually begins on hands, forearms, feet, and face but has the capacity to spread to any part of the body, including the inner ear and genitals. In severe types, the patch spreads to a larger area and is able to grow every year. However, in most cases, the same patch developed at an early age remains stuck for a lifetime. Luckily, it is not a transmissible disease and hence, you cannot catch it from someone else.

Causes of Vitiligo

Vitiligo is primarily caused with the presence of autoimmune condition which depletes the melanin present in skin cells of some body parts. However, factors like genetic transmission and other specific health disorders were observed to some extent as well. Let’s explore them hereby:

Autoimmunity – As discussed in the above paragraph, vitiligo is considered to be an autoimmune condition. This condition can be the root cause for the general type of vitiligo, which is the most commonly seen. This causes the immunity of our body to attack the melanocyte skin cells which result reduces the amount of melanin to form smooth white patches.
Genetic Factor – Although there isn’t any evidence that proves that vitiligo can pass from someone’s heir, it is studied that somewhere 30% of the individuals affected have one or more family members suffering from this disease.
Neurogenic Aspect – A substance or an enzyme that is toxic to melanocytes may be released from the nerve endings in the skin.
Self-destruction – An injury caused that destroyed melanocytes to some extent can be one of the common causes.
Melanoma – It is a type of skin cancer and can also be termed as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Having this severe skin disease can also lead to an autoimmune condition and may cause loss of melanin.
Chemical Exposure – Sunburn or some sort of chemical attack on the skin also makes the melanin lose from melanocytes.

Ayurveda Treatment for Vitiligo

In Ayurveda, vitiligo is described as Shwetakushta or Switra or Kilasa which are a hierarchal branch of Kushta Rogas (skin diseases). It is caused by the imbalance in Vata Dosha which refers to the physical surroundings and how our body reacts to it accordingly.

As per Ayurveda-based backing, Switra or Vitiligo can be divided in the following types:

Daruna – The patches will be in red color if this condition vitiates the rakhta dhatu (blood)
Aruna – The patches turn coppery in texture if this condition vitiates the muscle tissues of the affected body part
Kilasa – This is the most common type of vitilgo in Ayurveda. It entails that the patches will turn smooth white if this condition vitiates the fat tissue of the affected body part.

Similar to the treatment of other skin and infection-based disorders, Ayurveda promotes the process of purification and detoxification to remove all unnecessary toxins from the skin cells. This methodology adopted comes from the traditional belief that ‘beauty lies beneath. This suggests that the healthy functioning of our body from the inside will direct the improvements in curing complicated skin disorders. Ranging from changes in dietary schedule to adopting home-based remedial therapies, Ayurveda has got it all covered to effectively cure vitiligo.

Dietary Changes

It is recommended that the consumption of nutritiously rich foods which are easy to digest can enhance the working of digestive system. This sort of enhancement will improve the blood circulation and the ability to respond to all Ayurveda based medications as effective as possible.

Following are some key notions to formulate an effective dietary schedule:

Having light meals
Fixed meal timings and an equal share of time period between them
Inclusion of rice, wheat and leafy green foods in daily diet
Include gourd family vegetables like bitter-gourd and ridged gourd in your diet
Recommended to avoid caffeine-based and alcoholic beverages
To avoid strong/highly flavored which have excess of sodium in them
Limiting the intake sugar in daily. This varies on the individual’s diabetic levels.
Avoid vegetable roots and tubers like potato, carrot, and black gram
Avoid consumption of tinned or bottled foods and aquatic animals

Ayurvedic Medications

Ayurveda-based herbal medications can provide an impacting relief as it corrects the underlying cause of the illness from its root and cures the condition for a long-term basis. Following can be some of the healing options available in Ayurveda to treat vitiligo:

- Bakuchi (Psoralea Corylifolia) – This is the most commonly used medication in Ayurveda to treat the condition of vtiligo. Although, it shows slow results but will be highly effective in the long run to rejuvenate the skin tone. It incorporates various ayurvedic powders which can efficiently collaborate with therapies like Panchkarma and phototherapy.

Manjistha (Rubia Cordifolia) – This herbal medication can be relied upon if the expectations are to get rid of the white patches permanently. This herb possesses several strong properties that are beneficial in the management of various diseases including Vitiligo.

Neem (Azadirachta Indica) – Neem possesses several anti-oxidant properties which will not only reduce the symptoms of vitiligo but shall also prevent the melanocytes from getting damaged.

Haritaki (Terminalia Chebula) – Similar to that of Neem, Haritaki includes various anti-oxidant properties which prevents the spread of vitiligo due to the presence autoimmune condition. This herb also acts as an anti-depressant which helps the patients to get relieved from the psychological aspect of the condition.

Conclusion

Vitiligo is a rare skin disorder that causes the skin to lose its color infractions and makes it look like a smooth white patch. Being an autoimmune condition, the melanocytes present in melanin (responsible for providing skin color and texture) are depleted from a particular body part. Although, vitiligo can appear almost anywhere body parts like hands, forearms, feet, and face are commonly affected. Apart from the presence of the autoimmune condition, vitiligo can be rarely transmitted via genetic factors involved. It is so as at least 25% of the individuals suffering have some family member with Vitiligo.

The Ayurveda-backed vitiligo treatments involve the mechanism of purification and detoxification to eradicate all toxins from the body. This methodology helps in cleansing away the harmful toxins in the affected area and improves the skin tone. Ayurveda recommends having simplified dietary alterations that will enable the digestive system to effectively circulate the consumption of herbal medications. Herbs like Bakuchi, Manjishtha, Neem, and Haritaki are commonly preferred to help reduce the symptoms and improve the skin tone on long-term basis.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder that causes skin cells to multiply up to 10 folds faster than average. Such a fluctuation makes the skin turn bumpy red with plaques of thick and scaly skin. Psoriasis can show skin disorder almost everywhere, but it appears mainly in the scalp, knee, elbows, and lower back.

Being an autoimmune (immunity against healthy organs) disease, the inflammation caused in the body in the form of rough skin patches is non-transferable in nature. However, some rare cases of genetic psoriasis can be observed as the autoimmune condition continues in the family hierarchy.

It is usually seen in adulthood and is expected to last not more than a couple of years. If severe, it may last for the rest of the life and would redevelop in other parts of the body and might spread to a larger scale. Although skin tissues of hands, feet, neck, and scalp are most prone to this disorder, however, some less common cases show psoriasis effect in nails, mouth, and the area around reproductive glands.

As per a study conducted in North America, approximately 7.4 million Americans have been affected with psoriasis and were commonly caused due by the following factors:

Diabetic disorder
Inflammatory condition
Cardiovascular health
Anxiety
Depression

Although the study was conducted in the west, several known health officials in India agree to the fact that similar patterns of psoriasis causes are observed here as well. Psoriasis is complex and dynamic for its growth patterns and diagnostic difficulties.

Types of Psoriasis

Plaque Psoriasis

It is the most common type of psoriasis found. The usual inflammatory marks of bumpy redness on the scalp, knee, hand, and elbow are observed in this type. As several studies concluded, almost 80% of the population who suffered psoriasis has been covered with this type. It is an adulthood autoimmune condition with whitish-silver plaques on the skin.

Guttate Psoriasis

This type of psoriasis is commonly seen in childhood and shows small skin spots on the torso, arms, and legs. Although thick plaques on the skin aren’t observed as seen in plaque psoriasis, however, minimal spots can be viewed in different parts of the body at the same time.

Pustular Psoriasis

Such a type is commonly seen in adults and shows white, pus-filled blisters and broad areas of red, inflamed skin. Small body parts like ha
nds and feet are most prone to this disease, but widespread skin disorders can also be viewed sometimes.

Inverse Psoriasis

The differentiating factor about this type is the bright red, skinny, and inflamed skin. The patches of inverse psoriasis are observed under armpits and breasts and have the potential to spread elsewhere as well.

Erythrodermic Psoriasis

This is the most unique and severe type of psoriasis as the skin almost looks burned and has the capacity for widespread inflammation. The patients dealing with this type are commonly affected by fever and other infectious viral.

Symptoms of Psoriasis

Psoriasis differs from individual to individual on the basis of its type and the area covered, ranging from a few flakes to the whole body being affected.
Following are some common symptoms observed:
Red, thick and inflamed skin
Whitish-silver plaques of scales on the skin
Dryness in the skin and swollen throat
Burned like skin patches
Small flakes of pink spots
Thick and pitted nails
Swollen joints
It isn’t mandatory that everyone will observe the above-stated symptoms. Psoriasis can be dynamic and uniquely severe for severe individuals, but the presence of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions seem to be common in all cases.

What causes Psoriasis:

A few decades ago, doctors and medical experts were unsure of the reasons that cause psoriasis. But thanks to recent development in this regard, we have two fundamental causes:

Immune System

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that triggers inflammatory skin disorders in different parts of our body. An autoimmune condition is a case where our body’s immunity counters healthy organs and makes the white blood cells mistakenly attack skin cells.
Generally, the white blood cells are responsible for attacking and destroying attacking bacteria and covering the depleted cells in that area. When the same mechanism works for an inflamed area, the skin cells multiply and form scales of thick skin.

Genetic Disorder

As per studies concluded, the genetic inheritance with respect to psoriasis is evident to occur in just 2-3% of patients. If you are the immediate member of the elder in your family who’s suffering from psoriasis, there are high chances that you will be affected with the same.

Diagnostic Tests

There are primarily two kinds of diagnosis available for psoriasis:
Physical Examination
In most cases, if the inflammatory patches appear on body parts like the scalp, knee, elbow, ear, belly button, and nails, the doctor is most likely able to determine the presence. It is so as the area affected and the scaly plaques developed on the skin gives a clear indication of this autoimmune condition. Make sure you are comfortable to show all areas of concern as this will bring more clarity to the doctor, and following this, there will be an easement in your treatment.

Lab Tests

If, in some cases, it becomes difficult for your doctor to determine if there is a presence of psoriasis or not, having a biopsy lab test for the affected skin patch would be an apt solution. A tiny fraction of skin tissue extracted will be sent for a lab test where all possibilities of skin infections can be examined. Having been injected with a numbing medication to make this process less painful for you, this type of diagnosis will provide accurate results.

Treatment of Psoriasis

The kind of treatment involved differs based on the size of the patch, the area infected, the patient’s age and other health concerns, and the duration of the autoimmune condition.
Your doctor will select the treatment plan accordingly.

Following are a couple of common ways used for treating psoriasis:

Topical Medications
This type of treatment is usually used for less intense cases of psoriasis and helps in slowing down the growing symptoms. These include:
Steroid Creams
Moisturizer for dry and scratchy skin
Cool Tar – a common treatment used to heal scalp patches
Vitamin D rich cream and ointments
Light Therapy
This sort of treatment uses ultraviolet lights to shine over the infected area and helps in slowing down the rate of cell formation. Since psoriasis is evidently an autoimmune condition, this therapy helps in reducing the white blood cells attacking the affected area. PUVA (photochemotherapy) is used in medicine called psoralen with a special form of ultraviolet light.

Medicinal Supplementations

Either you have a moderate to intense case of psoriasis or other forms of treatments that have been failing to heal or both, your doctor may advise you to take some oral or injected medication. Following are commonly advised medications:

Retinoids – These are used to reduce the symptoms temporarily. Once you stop taking these, the inflammatory condition may rise again. Hair loss and inflammation in lips are common side effects. Women associated with pregnancy in the current stage or within the next three years are not advised to take this supplement.

Biologic treatment – These kinds of drugs reduce your body’s overall immunity to reduce the rising autoimmune condition during psoriasis.

Cyclosporine – Similar to the class of biological medications, this drug also helps in reducing the immunity levels of your body. Unlike biological treatment. Cyclosporine drug is more intense and may cause sickness for a few days or a week. Some kidney problems and high blood pressure are common side effects.

Apremilast – It’s a new form of drug that acts as an enzyme inhibitor to reduce the possibility of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in the long run. It is an oral medication that controls the spread of a specific enzyme responsible for slowing the potential spread of inflammation.

Dietary Changes

There is no evidence that adding nutritious foods to your diet will completely eradicate the effects of psoriasis, but having some healthy alterations can prevent the possible spread and reduce the symptoms. Following are some advised recommendations:
Eating less caloric food as compared to your BMR
Fiber-rich foods
Multivitamin tablets
Avoid triggering foods such as red meat, refined sugar, and processed foods
Reduction in intoxication

Conclusive Statistics

At least 5% of the global population suffers from psoriasis once in their lifetime.
As per WHO, approximately 75% of the people affected with psoriasis are in the age limit of 20 – 45.
People with intense conditions of psoriasis will likely develop type 2 diabetes, kidney dysfunction, heart problems, and high blood pressure.
The relieving fact is that in maximum cases of psoriasis, the given advanced cures are able to successfully treat various kinds of psoriasis.
Genetic transfer of psoriasis is as rare as less than 1%

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a rare skin disorder that causes loss of skin color infraction of patches. It is a long-term disease and the smooth white spots formed are due to the absence of melanocytes. These melanocytes or the skin cells that produce melanin are destroyed by the body’s immune system or the so-called autoimmune condition.

Vitiligo is not so rare but rare to be found as approximately 2% of the total population, and an estimated 2 to 5 million suffer from it. Also, if the spot is less than 5mm, it will be termed as macules and patches for the spot greater than that.

Vitiligo is expected to start showing its effects from an early age of 10 and, in most cases, fully developed until the age of 40. There is no evident proof that vitiligo follows a genetic transmission, but nearly around 30% of the affected patients have a family member with this disease.

How does vitiligo progress?

Vitiligo often starts with a few small patches that may spread over large body parts within the course of a few months. It usually begins on hands, forearms, feet, and face but has the capacity to spread to any part of the body, including the inner ear and genitals. In severe types, the patch spreads to a larger area and is able to grow every year. However, in most cases, the same patch developed at an early age remains stuck for a lifetime. Luckily, it is not a transmissible disease, and hence, you cannot catch it from someone else.

What are the types of vitiligo?

On the basis of the size, color, location, and duration of the white patch, vitiligo can be divided into a few types. Determining your type will lead the way to proper diagnosis, treatment, and medications for the same.

Generalized – This is the most common type of vitiligo. It is when patches of macules size appear on different parts of the body.
Segmental – This is the type where the body part affected with this autoimmune condition is restricted to one part only, such as hands and face.
Mucosal – This affects the mucous membranes of the mouths and/or genitals.
Focal – It’s a rare condition where patches of macules size appear at one focal point only and do not spread elsewhere.
Trichrome– In this type, a rare combination of completely white, semi-patched skin and regular skin is seen. It usually occurs at the same place.
Universal – It’s a quite rare and severe case of vitiligo where almost 80% or more of the body is covered with smooth white patches.

Vitiligo Diagnosis

If not detected via a physical examination which is most commonly used, your doctor may ask you for a skin test and even a blood test in some cases. There are two kinds of diagnosis for skin:

Skin Biopsy – A sample of your skin is sent for a laboratory test
Wood’s lamp test – In this, the use of ultraviolet light is used to scan the details of your skin.

What causes Vitiligo?

Although it’s still not quite clear as to what causes vitiligo it is evidently understood that the existence of an autoimmune condition can be observed. This causes loss of melanin (originally produced from melanocytes) which is responsible for giving color to the skin. Following are a couple of distinguished reasons that causes vitiligo:

Autoimmunity – As discussed in the above paragraph, vitiligo is considered to be an autoimmune condition. This condition can be the root cause for the general type of vitiligo, which is the most commonly seen. This causes the immunity of our body to attack the melanocyte skin cells, which reduces the amount of melanin to form smooth white patches.

Genetic Factor – Although there isn’t any evidence that proves that vitiligo can pass from someone’s heir, it is studied that somewhere 30% of the individuals affected have one or more family members suffering from this disease.

Neurogenic Aspect – A substance or an enzyme that is toxic to melanocytes may be released from the nerve endings in the skin.

Self-destruction – An injury caused that destroys melanocytes to some extent can be one of the common causes.

Melanoma – It is a type of skin cancer and can also be termed as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Having this severe skin disease can also lead to an autoimmune condition and may cause loss of melanin.

Chemical Exposure – Sunburn or some sort of chemical attack on the skin also makes the melanin lose from melanocytes.

What are the symptoms of Vitiligo?

Following are the signs and symptoms that will depict whether you are inheriting vitiligo or have been suffering from it:

White and smooth patches observed on the skin are usually the common signs depicting vitiligo. The size of the spots can range from small spots termed as macules and patches for wide skin textures.
Such patches are most commonly seen in body parts like hands, feet, armpits, and face. In rare instances, the skin of the inner ear, eyes, and genital areas are also affected.
If affected in the areas around your scalp, the color of hair will turn white and grey as well.

Treatment

There’s no absolute fix for vitiligo, but you can definitely improve the skin tone and bring uniformity in your skin color. A couple of kinds of therapies, surgery, and some home remedies are common references for treating vitiligo:

Camouflage Therapy – It is recommended to use sunscreen with SPF 30 or above, and the same should also shield the skin from ultraviolet A and B lights. The use of sunscreen will help in normalizing the skin tone against the odds of tannin and sunburn. If the area around the scalp is affected, the use of hair dyes can be experimented.

Light Therapy – In this therapy, UVA and UVB lights are used to treat the small patches of vitiligo and demand 2 to 3 sessions per week for several months. This therapy works the best for people suffering from small and segmented patches.

Medications – Your doctor may prescribe you to apply some corticosteroid creams on the affected areas. It might take some months to show its results but will help in lightening the skin tone and getting the color back. In some rare cases, your doctor can also suggest taking some ointments to reduce the autoimmune condition.

Surgery – There are primarily two kinds of surgeries involved to cure vitiligo:

Mini grafting – In this kind of surgery, the fraction of skin affected will be extracted out and replaced by other parts of the skin which have high levels of melanin.
Micropigmentation – It includes tattooing the lips affected by vitiligo.

Counseling – The patients suffering from vitiligo are adapted with several physical insecurities and lose their confidence to interact with others. It is advised to take a few counseling sessions to relieve the mental stress and proudly accept this condition.

Conclusion

Vitiligo is a rare skin disorder that is caused by the absence of melanin from melanocytes present in the skin cells. It is autoimmune conditions that make our body’s immunity attack melanocytes and make the skin lose its color. Smooth and white patches are observed in different parts of the body but it mainly affects the hand, feet, elbows, and face.

By some mere physical examinations and lab tests, this disease can be easily diagnosed. By Using some steroid creams and some technical therapies, one can improve the texture of their skin and normalize it with other skin tones.
