Ayurvedic Skin Treatment in Dubai

Ayurvedic skin treatment is a doctor-led approach that looks at what drives a skin condition, such as heat, diet, stress and digestion, and combines herbal medicines, external applications like Lepa and medicated oils, diet changes and, when suitable, cleansing therapies. At RamaCare it starts with a consultation with Dr. Shamna Keloth Meethal (BAMS).

Yes. Ayurveda calls eczema Vicharchika and links it to Kapha and Pitta. Care may include Ayurvedic medicine for eczema prescribed by the doctor, Lepa, medicated oils such as Nalpamaradi, and diet changes. It is complementary care and can be used alongside treatment from your dermatologist.

Yes. Ayurveda describes psoriasis as Kitibha or Ekakushtha. Care may include Takradhara, medicated oils, Ayurvedic medicine for psoriasis and, for some patients, Virechana. Psoriasis is long-term, so the aim is fewer and milder flare-ups, reviewed at each follow-up.

Eczema usually cannot be cured permanently, but it can often be well controlled, and many people have long periods without flare-ups. Knowing your triggers, protecting the skin barrier and treating flare-ups early all help. Be cautious of any clinic that promises a permanent cure.

Psoriasis is a long-term immune condition with no permanent cure, but flare-ups can often be reduced and controlled. Dermatology and Ayurvedic care can be combined; at RamaCare both are in the same building.

Eczema is an itchy inflammation of the skin. It comes from a weakened skin barrier together with an overactive immune response. Common triggers include dry air, hot showers, soaps and detergents, sweat, stress, and sometimes foods or allergens. In Ayurveda it is linked to aggravated Kapha and Pitta.

Psoriasis is an immune condition that makes skin cells build up too quickly. It often runs in families, and flare-ups can be triggered by stress, infections, skin injury, alcohol, smoking and some medicines.

No. Neither psoriasis nor eczema can be passed to another person by touch. An eczema patch can become infected, and that infection may need medical treatment.

Eczema is usually very itchy with dry, red patches, often in skin folds. Psoriasis tends to form thicker, raised plaques with silvery scale on the scalp, elbows and knees. A doctor can confirm which you have.

Cool the skin: move to a cool place, take a cool shower, wear loose cotton and avoid heavy creams. Heat rash (prickly heat) usually settles within a few days. See a doctor if it lasts longer, becomes painful or pus-filled, or comes with fever.

Ayurveda describes acne as Yauvana Pidaka, linked to Pitta and Kapha. Care may include herbal medicines, face packs and diet changes. For severe or scarring acne, our dermatologist can advise on medical options too.

Ayurveda calls hives Sheetapitta and uses herbal medicines and trigger-avoidance advice as complementary care. Hives with swelling of the lips, face or throat, or difficulty breathing, need urgent medical care.

Ayurveda calls ringworm Dadru. Ayurvedic care can support medical antifungal treatment, for example by advising on sweat, clothing and diet in the Dubai heat, but it should not replace antifungal medicine when that is needed.

Ayurvedic treatment for melasma and pigmentation may use herbal medicines, oils such as Kumkumadi, and diet guidance. Vitiligo (Shvitra) needs assessment by a dermatologist; Ayurvedic treatment for vitiligo can be added alongside. Daily sun protection matters for all pigmentation.

Commonly used herbs include Neem, Manjistha, Guduchi and Turmeric, and oils such as Nalpamaradi, Nimbadi and Kumkumadi. Dr. Shamna prescribes them according to your skin, condition and health, not as a standard package.

Common triggers include very spicy, sour, salty and fried food, alcohol, and for some people dairy, eggs, nuts or shellfish. Ayurveda also advises avoiding incompatible combinations such as fish with milk. Your own triggers are identified at the consultation.

Often yes, but never stop prescribed creams or medicines on your own. Tell both doctors about every treatment you use; at RamaCare the Ayurvedic doctor and dermatologist can coordinate in the same building.

Like any medicine, Ayurvedic medicines and applications can cause reactions in some people. That is why the doctor reviews your health, allergies and current medicines before prescribing, and adjusts the plan at each follow-up.

It depends on the condition and how long you have had it. Short-term problems such as heat rash may settle in days; long-term conditions such as eczema or psoriasis need care over months, with progress reviewed at each follow-up.

An Ayurvedic skin consultation with Dr. Shamna starts from AED 200 and takes 45–60 minutes. Medicines and therapies are priced according to your plan and confirmed in writing before you start. Insurance is on a reimbursement basis.

Yes. Male patients are treated by a male therapist and female patients by a female therapist for all external therapies.
