Abstract

Shwitra is a dermatological disorder having its references in the vedas. It is caused by the imbalance of all three doshas (vata, pitta, kapha) vitiating rakta, mamsa and meda dhatus.

The disease involves the skin and does not cause pain, ulceration or any secretions. Shwitra inflates an inferiority complex in the persons affected. Shwitra can be corelated to leucoderma. It affects 1% of world population. Shwitra emerges as a sequel to irregular dietary habits and life style changes.

Ayurveda focuses on viruddha ahara (incompatible food) which causes the vitiation of all doshas. It is a cause of many skin diseases like shwitra etc because whatever we eat that affects on our body as well as mind also. So we should eat healthy food which will enhance our health. And avoid eating incompatible food as preventive measures of the diseases. Avoidance of intake of incompatible food play key role in the prevention of disease
