Description: The skin is an organ of the body that is the largest and most visible of the body’s organs completely encasing the other organs and tissues. It is one of the most complex organ because it interacts with many other organs. Any problem with the skin puts a strain on the other three major organs involved in eliminating wastes, the kidneys, lungs and bowels. The main purpose of skin is to act as a shield, protecting the interior from external stress: diseases and infections such as bacteria, viruses and allergens and environmental factors such as the sun, wind, heat, dryness, cold weather, pollution and cigarette smoke. It also helps to regulate the body temperature through perspiration, which acts as a cooling process. It protects the more vital organs from extremes in temperature, the harmful rays of the sun and invasive micro-organisms.
The skin disorders fall into four categories: (1) disorders of the secreting apparatus; (2) disorders relating to growths, like boils, rashes, etc.; (3) inflammatory conditions and (4) nervous and parasitic infections.
In modern system of medicine, the drugs often used in the treatment of skin disorders are only for external application (emollients, topical steroids, anti-seborrhoeics, anti-fungal etc). These drugs offer good symptomatic relief but have a number of side effects like mild skin irritation, burning or stinging sensation, etc. In chronic cases, the treatment is obviously prolonged. The herbal system has a number of medicines that not only provide symptomatic relief but attacks the root cause without any known side effects. Dehlvi Remedies has many useful preparations to treat skin disorders.
