Ayurveda and Skin Issues
Ayurveda defines three doshas Vata, Kapha and Pitta that govern the different aspects of how our bodies function. These three Doshas have to be in balance along with the Agni, Malas and Dhatus to have good health.
Wounds are referred to as Vrana in Ayurveda and wound healing is approached from the perspective of not only healing it but also restoring the appearance of the wounded area to normal. This has been described by Sushruta in Shashti Upakrama. Ayurveda also classifies wounds depending on their stage of healing. An infected or untidy wound is referred to as a Dushta Vrana and there are many sub-classifications based on its appearance and type. Clean wounds are called Shudha Vrana and a wound that is in the process of healing is a Ruhyamana Vrana. A wound that is healed satisfactorily is referred to as Samyak Rudha Vrana. Vrana Vastu is the scar that has been left by the wound.
Ayurvedic texts have described many different herbs and medicines that can be used at different stages of wound healing. They are used to purify the wound, act as anti-infective, anti-inflammatories and analgesics thus speeding up the process of healing.
Hrillasa is the term that is used in Ayurveda to refer to nausea. It can also be accompanied by vomiting or Chardi and excessive salivation or Praseka. It is usually defined as a digestive problem or Ajirna accompanied by a Dosha imbalance. The problem is treated with medication to calm and normalize the digestive system as well as reduce the symptoms of nausea.

Western Medicine – Wounds and Travel Sickness
- Western medicine considers wound healing as a step by step process.
- The body first strives to arrest the bleeding from the wound and form a blood clot to seal it.
- After this is achieved the body then attempts to fight any potential infection at the site of the wound. This causes inflammation.
- There is an increase in the white blood cells or WBC that are sent to the area to fight infection. The WBC also secrete chemicals that aid in swift repairs to the damage that is caused in the area. This also causes redness, swelling and pain. Finally, new skin is formed.
