How We Effectively Manage Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition marked by painful lumps, often forming in areas where skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, buttocks, and breasts. In Ayurveda, it is seen as an imbalance of Pitta and Kapha doshas, resulting in inflammation, blocked hair follicles, and impaired metabolism.
When digestive fire (Agni) is weakened, Pitta vitiates Kapha, slowing metabolism. Fat and toxins accumulate, obstructing channels and manifesting as painful nodules and abscesses. Classical Ayurvedic texts describe this clearly:
"Pitta-kapha prakopascha, granthi-vikarasya karanam" – The aggravation of Pitta and Kapha doshas is the cause of glandular disorders. (Charaka Samhita, Sutra Sthana 20/11)
This highlights that HS is not just a skin problem but a systemic imbalance, which can be addressed by correcting dosha disturbances and enhancing metabolic function.

Root Cause Treatment
“The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment giving importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease.”
Wisdom of Ayurveda
“Since Ayurveda focuses on the root-cause of the disease, it effectively reduces the risk of severe health complications arising out of the untreated underlying cause. Patients who complete their Ayurveda treatment have a reduced risk of health complications later.”
More Than Just Medicines
"Heal your body naturally with 5000-year-old knowledge of Ayurveda and Modern Science. From its authenticity, structured approach and personalisation play a very important role in complementing the effect of medicines as well as sustaining the benefit of treatment after the medicines have ended."
Understand How We Can Help You with Hidradenitis Suppurativa
What is Hidradenitis Suppurativa?
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, painful, inflammatory skin condition characterized by recurrent boil-like nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts that often form in areas where skin rubs together — such as the armpits, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts. The condition results from inflammation and blockage of hair follicles and sweat glands, leading to deep-seated lesions that may drain pus and leave scars.
In Ayurveda, HS corresponds to a cluster of disorders under Dushta Vrana (chronic infected wounds) and Pidaka (deep pustular inflammations), caused primarily by the vitiation of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. The underlying pathology involves toxic accumulation (Ama), aggravated Pitta causing heat and inflammation, and obstructed Kapha leading to pus formation and sluggish healing.
This imbalance leads to chronic infection, tissue degeneration, and impaired skin immunity, reflecting a deep-seated systemic dysfunction rather than a mere skin disorder.
Ayurvedic Understanding
From an Ayurvedic standpoint, Hidradenitis Suppurativa arises when the body’s internal cleansing mechanisms are blocked and Agni (digestive fire) is weakened. This results in the buildup of Ama, which mixes with vitiated Pitta and Kapha, creating localized inflammation and pus within Rakta (blood) and Mamsa dhatu (muscle tissue).
Vata drives pain and dryness, Pitta contributes to heat, redness, and infection, and Kapha causes swelling and abscess formation. Over time, repeated blockage of the Svedavaha Srotas (sweat channels) and Raktavaha Srotas leads to chronic non-healing lesions, sinus tracts, and scarring — hallmark features of HS.
The goal of Ayurvedic treatment is to restore Agni, cleanse Ama, purify Rakta, and reestablish unobstructed flow through all Srotas, enabling lasting healing and preventing recurrence.
Our Treatment Approach
At EliteAyurveda, our approach to Hidradenitis Suppurativa focuses on long-term reversal rather than symptomatic relief. The goal is to transform the internal inflammatory terrain that fuels recurring abscesses and skin infections.
- Phase 1 – Agni Deepana & Ama Pachana: The process begins with improving digestion and metabolism to eliminate toxic buildup responsible for chronic inflammation and pus formation.
- Phase 2 – Srotas Shodhana (Detoxification): Specialized internal cleansing clears obstructions in Rakta and Svedavaha Srotas, promoting detoxification and improved skin circulation.
- Phase 3 – Dosha Balancing & Tissue Repair: Personalized herbal formulations balance Pitta and Kapha, heal chronic wounds, and regenerate damaged tissues at the Mamsa and Rakta levels.
- Phase 4 – Immune & Microbiome Reset: The immune system is gently retrained to reduce auto-inflammatory responses, restoring the skin’s natural defense barrier.
- Phase 5 – Lifestyle & Emotional Healing: Stress, hormonal imbalance, and diet are key triggers of HS. Our integrative plan includes stress-relieving therapies, dietary re-education, and emotional detox to ensure long-term remission.
Why Conventional Treatments Fail
Conventional medicine typically relies on antibiotics, steroids, hormonal therapy, and surgical drainage for HS. While these may offer temporary symptom control, they fail to address the underlying immune, metabolic, and inflammatory imbalances. Over time, patients experience flare-ups, antibiotic resistance, and chronic scarring.
Ayurveda approaches HS at its root by correcting the body’s internal dysfunction — restoring digestive strength, cleansing Rakta and Srotas, and rebalancing the doshas. This ensures sustainable healing from within, not dependent on suppressive medication.
Results & Long-Term Healing
Patients treated at EliteAyurveda experience a remarkable reduction in flare-ups, pus discharge, and pain. Over time, the frequency and severity of nodules decrease, scars soften, and the skin regains its integrity. More importantly, systemic health — digestion, immunity, and emotional balance — shows profound improvement.
Once the Agni is stabilized and the doshas realigned, the recurrence of new lesions drastically reduces. The healing becomes permanent when the body’s detox, immune, and regenerative functions operate in harmony.
EliteAyurveda’s Difference
Our treatment philosophy is rooted in deep personalization. Every HS patient is evaluated for their Prakriti, hormonal balance, gut health, and emotional state to design a precise, adaptive healing plan. No two cases are treated identically — each receives a dynamic, evolving protocol aligned with their recovery journey.
EliteAyurveda’s integrative, root-cause-based approach helps patients achieve not only clear skin but a revitalized body-mind system. This is why our results are sustainable — we don’t just manage HS; we reverse it from within.
Causes
HS develops when hair follicles become blocked, triggering inflammation and infection. Contributing factors include:
- Follicular occlusion
- Altered skin microbiome
- Inflammatory cytokine activity
- Rupture of follicles with glandular damage
Stages
HS is categorized into three Hurley stages:
- Stage 1: Single bumps without sinus tracts.
- Stage 2: Multiple bumps with limited tunneling.
- Stage 3: Extensive bumps, sinus tracts, and scarring affecting multiple areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our treatment for Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a deeply personalized, root-cause-based Ayurvedic program that aims to heal from within. Here are answers to the most common questions asked by our patients before beginning their recovery journey with us.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful boils, nodules, and tunnels, typically in body folds such as the armpits, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts. In Ayurveda, HS is understood as a deep-seated imbalance of Pitta and Kapha doshas, aggravated by the accumulation of Ama (toxins) within the Rasa and Rakta dhatus (plasma and blood tissues), leading to chronic inflammation and tissue blockage.
In modern terms, HS is caused by chronic inflammation around hair follicles and sweat glands. Contributing factors include hormonal imbalance, obesity, stress, immune dysfunction, and genetic predisposition. It is not contagious but tends to flare up under conditions that promote inflammation or sweating.
In Ayurveda, HS is viewed as a Tridoshic disorder with Pitta and Kapha predominance. Pitta aggravation leads to inflammation and pus formation, while Kapha causes blockages in the sweat and sebaceous glands. When combined with Ama accumulation and low Agni (digestive fire), this creates a fertile ground for chronic inflammatory lesions beneath the skin.
Early symptoms include small, tender lumps under the skin, discomfort in body folds, and recurrent boils or abscesses. These lumps may burst and release fluid or pus, often leaving scars. Early recognition and intervention significantly improve healing outcomes.
Ayurveda focuses on complete systemic healing rather than temporary symptom relief. At EliteAyurveda, HS is addressed through detoxification, immune rebalancing, dosha correction, and tissue rejuvenation. With consistency and adherence to our personalized plan, HS can be reversed and recurrence prevented naturally.
Conventional treatments often rely on antibiotics, steroids, or biologics that suppress symptoms temporarily but don’t address the root imbalance. Our approach focuses on the root cause—detoxifying the body, restoring hormonal and immune balance, clearing Srotas (microchannels), and healing the mind-body axis for sustainable recovery.
Flare-ups are often triggered by stress, hormonal fluctuations, excessive sweating, poor hygiene, tight clothing, obesity, and consumption of inflammatory foods like dairy, fried, or processed items. Ayurveda identifies these as factors that aggravate Pitta and Kapha, thereby worsening the inflammatory cycle.
Diet plays a crucial role in HS management. Foods that aggravate Pitta (spicy, sour, fermented) and Kapha (heavy, oily, dairy-based) increase inflammation. A sattvic diet rich in fresh vegetables, whole grains, and detoxifying herbs helps balance doshas and prevent flare-ups naturally.
Yes, HS can significantly impact emotional well-being due to chronic pain, scarring, and social discomfort. Ayurveda considers mental stress a major aggravator of Pitta and Vata, hence part of our protocol includes mind-body therapies, guided relaxation, and stress management to restore emotional harmony.
The duration varies depending on disease severity, chronicity, and overall health. Typically, patients experience reduced inflammation and new lesion control within 4–6 weeks. Complete reversal through tissue rejuvenation may take several months, ensuring sustainable, relapse-free healing.
Genetic predisposition plays a role in HS, but it doesn’t guarantee onset. Ayurveda focuses on breaking the epigenetic cycle through detoxification, dosha correction, and metabolic reset, preventing genetic vulnerabilities from manifesting into active disease.
Yes, early HS can resemble acne, folliculitis, or abscesses. However, the key difference is the recurring pattern, deep nodules, and sinus tract formation. Accurate diagnosis through detailed assessment helps tailor the right Ayurvedic protocol for effective reversal.
In HS, inflammation triggers follicular blockages leading to painful nodules, abscesses, and tunnels. This chronic inflammatory response, driven by immune dysfunction and genetic tendencies, activates pain receptors and tissue damage. Our Ayurvedic approach focuses on systemic anti-inflammatory correction through dosha balance and toxin clearance.
Biologics are lab-engineered proteins that target immune molecules responsible for inflammation. While they can suppress symptoms, they are not natural and carry side effects like infections, autoimmune flare-ups, and organ toxicity. Our Ayurvedic approach restores natural immune regulation without such risks through herbal and lifestyle interventions.
Yes. Many patients begin our treatment while continuing conventional medications. We gradually phase out dependency under medical supervision as your body regains balance and inflammation subsides naturally.
