Why EliteAyurveda
How We Successfully Reverse Pityriasis
Pityriasis refers to a group of skin disorders marked by persistent scaling, irritation, flaking, and discoloration. Ayurveda classifies these conditions under Kushta — disorders arising when digestive toxins (Ama) combine with aggravated Vata and Pitta doshas, and settle into the skin channels. As the body’s detox and immune mechanisms weaken, skin loses nourishment from deeper tissues and begins to manifest patches and scaling on the surface.
“Kushtaṃ dūṣyati twak-raktam” — when doshic imbalance and impurities invade the skin and blood tissues, chronic scaling and discoloration arise.
This highlights that lasting relief begins when internal imbalances are corrected, not merely when flakes are removed or suppressed temporarily.
Our Unique Approach
At EliteAyurveda, we focus on reversing the disease mechanisms driving Pityriasis through a personalized, phase-wise plan:
- Dosha Harmonization: Restoring the balance of aggravated Vata and Pitta to stabilize skin metabolism and reduce irritation and scaling.
- Srotas Cleansing: Personalized internal cleansing and external herbal therapies help clear accumulated toxins from the skin pathways.
- Deep Tissue Restoration: Strengthening Rakta Dhatu (blood) and Twak Dhatu (skin) to improve natural pigmentation, texture, and immunity.
- Stress & Immunity Support: Lifestyle and mind-body practices help regulate triggers that worsen scaling flare-ups.

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 Pityriasis
What is Pityriasis?
Pityriasis refers to a group of skin disorders characterized by flaky, scaly, and discolored patches on the skin. It may be mild and self-limiting but can sometimes be persistent or recurrent. In Ayurveda, Pityriasis is understood under Kshudra Kushta, rooted in the vitiation of Pitta and Vata doshas along with minor involvement of Ama (toxins). When skin nourishment (Rasa dhatu) is disrupted, it leads to dryness, discoloration, and scaling.
Treatment
EliteAyurveda’s approach for Pityriasis focuses on restoring skin health internally rather than only treating visible symptoms.
Therapeutic interventions include Agni correction, toxin clearance, skin hydration, and immune rebalancing. Personalized herbal formulations support skin cell regeneration while external therapies help relieve itching, scaling, and discoloration. Mind-body balance and diet corrections ensure long-term remission and prevent recurrence.
Pityriasis Rosea
Pityriasis Rosea typically begins with a single “herald patch” followed by multiple pink, oval spots. Stress and immune fluctuation are common triggers. Ayurveda links this to Pitta imbalance and weakened skin immunity. Treatment emphasizes soothing inflammation, regulating heat in the body, and calming emotional stress to shorten the disease course.
Pityriasis Versicolor
This form presents as light or dark discolored patches due to fungal overgrowth on the skin. Ayurveda attributes it to Pitta-Kapha aggravation leading to excessive sweat and microbial imbalance. Therapy focuses on detoxification, restoring skin microbiome, and preventing moisture-related recurrence through internal balance.
Pityriasis Alba
Common among children and adolescents, this form appears as dry, lighter patches predominantly on the face. Ayurveda correlates this with Vata-Pitta disturbance causing dryness and loss of pigmentation. Treatment focuses on nourishment of the skin tissues, improving hydration, and strengthening immunity naturally.
Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris
A more severe and chronic variant, causing widespread red-orange scaling and thickened skin patches. Ayurveda considers it a deeper systemic imbalance with impaired Rakta dhatu and Agni. Treatment involves detoxification, reduction of inflammation, and restoration of skin metabolism to gradually reverse thickening and scaling.
Pityriasis Lichenoides
This variant causes recurring small papules that may crust or leave dark spots. It is linked to immune hypersensitivity. Ayurveda identifies strong Pitta involvement and focuses on immune modulation, blood purification, and skin barrier strengthening for sustained relief.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our treatment for Pityriasis focuses on identifying the exact subtype, addressing doshic imbalance, and restoring skin health at the root level. Below are the most common questions patients ask before starting their recovery journey with us.
Pityriasis is a group of skin conditions characterized by scaling, discoloration, and patchy rashes. Common forms include Pityriasis Rosea, Pityriasis Versicolor, and Pityriasis Alba. In Ayurveda, these arise from imbalances in Pitta and Vata doshas, along with toxin buildup in the skin layers.
The causes vary by subtype — fungal overgrowth, viral infections, dryness, low immunity, hormonal shifts, and excessive skin inflammation. Ayurveda attributes it to weakened Agni (metabolism), leading to Ama accumulation and altered skin pigmentation.
Major forms include:
• Pityriasis Rosea – flares with oval, itchy rashes
• Pityriasis Alba – hypopigmented dry patches (common in children)
• Pityriasis Versicolor – fungal infection leading to darker/lighter patches
Each requires a unique treatment approach in Ayurveda.
Ayurveda categorizes these under Twak Vikara — disorders caused by vitiation of Rasa and Rakta dhatus. Imbalance in Pitta causes inflammation and discoloration, while Vata contributes to dryness and scaling.
Most forms like Pityriasis Rosea and Alba are not contagious. Only Versicolor, caused by fungal overgrowth, may rarely spread in high humidity environments.
Dry patches, light/dark discoloration, mild itching, scaly skin on torso, face, arms, back, and chest. Symptoms vary depending on the subtype.
In most cases, pigmentation gradually returns to normal. Deep inflammation or scratching may delay recovery. Our treatment accelerates tissue repair to prevent lasting skin changes.
We diagnose based on skin examination, history, environmental exposure, digestion strength, and gut health — identifying exact dosha imbalance behind the condition.
Yes. Our treatment heals the skin from the root by correcting dosha imbalance, strengthening digestion, and clearing skin channels — ensuring long-term remission without dependency.
Most patients notice improved skin tone and reduced dryness within 4–6 weeks. Duration depends on chronicity, subtype, immune health, and lifestyle habits.
Yes. Stress and low immunity disturb the gut-skin connection and accelerate inflammatory changes on the skin. Ayurveda treats both the physical and emotional aspects.
Improper diet produces toxins that deposit in skin tissue. We design a personalized anti-inflammatory, Pitta-Vata balancing diet to support skin healing.
Yes, after the initial ‘herald patch,’ multiple patches can appear on the trunk. It typically resolves but may leave pigmentation without proper treatment.
Yes, Versicolor is due to the overgrowth of a natural skin fungus in humid conditions. Ayurveda addresses the internal susceptibility that allows such growth.
Recurrence happens if only external creams are used without correcting immune and metabolic imbalances. Our treatment focuses on preventing relapses naturally.
Yes, Pityriasis Alba is common in children due to nutritional deficiencies, dryness, and gut imbalance. Ayurvedic care gently restores natural pigmentation.
Yes. Our physicians gradually guide you to taper external dependency once internal healing progresses, ensuring long-term stability.
Moderate sunlight may help some cases like Pityriasis Alba. But excessive heat worsens Pitta, increasing redness or burning. We personalize recommendations.
Avoid hot showers, sweating triggers, packaged foods, chemical cosmetics. Adopt hydration, calming routines, breathable clothing, and mindful sun exposure.
Yes, for suspected fungal subtypes like Versicolor, such examinations may be advised to confirm diagnosis and monitor treatment response when required.
Yes. We assess digestive strength, toxin load, immune function, stress levels, and environmental factors — creating a precise treatment plan.
We use safe, personalized herbal formulations that reduce inflammation, restore pigmentation, and improve skin immunity — without steroids or antifungal overuse.
