Ayurvedic skin treatment at Mantra treats the skin from within. After a consultation, the doctor may prescribe herbal medicine to balance the body and support digestion, external herbal applications (Lepam), and in suitable cases cleansing therapy such as Virechanam, along with diet changes. The aim is calmer, healthier skin and fewer flare-ups.
Common signs we treat
Your skin reflects what happens inside
Ayurveda sees the skin as a mirror of digestion and blood health. Most skin problems are linked to an imbalance of Rakta (the blood tissue) and Pitta, often starting with weak digestion and the build-up of undigested residue known as Ama. That is why creams alone often give only short relief, and the problem returns.
Treatment at Mantra works on two levels: calming the skin from outside, and correcting digestion, diet and lifestyle from inside.
Skin conditions we commonly treat
- Eczema (dermatitis): dry, itchy and sometimes weeping patches.
- Acne: pimples, oily skin and marks.
- Urticaria and rashes: raised itchy patches that come and go.
- Pigmentation: dark patches and uneven skin tone.
- Skin allergies: reactions to products, food or heat.
- Psoriasis: see our dedicated psoriasis treatment page.
How we treat skin problems
Herbal medicine
Internal herbal formulations are chosen to support digestion, cool excess Pitta and purify the blood. This is the core of long-term skin care in Ayurveda.
Lepam
Herbal pastes are applied to affected areas to soothe itching, redness and inflammation.
Virechanam
A guided cleansing therapy from Panchakarma that uses herbal medicine to clear excess Pitta through the bowels. It is only planned after the doctor confirms you are suitable, and it comes with a preparation and diet plan.
Diet guidance
Classical Ayurvedic texts describe certain food combinations, such as fish with milk, and excess sour, salty, fried and fermented foods as aggravating skin problems. Your doctor will give a clear, practical diet plan for your condition.
Skin care tips for Dubai weather
- Shower with lukewarm water rather than very hot water.
- Use a mild cleanser and moisturise after bathing, especially in dry AC rooms.
- Protect your skin from strong sun with clothing and shade.
- Drink enough water and favour fresh, home-cooked meals.
- Avoid scratching. Keep nails short if itching is strong.
When to see a doctor urgently
