Skin Issues

The skin wellness approach at Kanasu starts with a consultation to understand the type of skin concern, duration, flare triggers, digestion, bowel habits, menstrual or hormonal history, stress, sleep, diet, allergies, current medication, and previous dermatological treatment. The plan is personalised because acne, pigmentation, dryness, psoriasis-like symptoms, and itching require different considerations.

Diet correction is central. The doctor may suggest reducing heat-producing, oily, processed, fermented, or incompatible foods depending on the individual’s condition. Hydration, bowel regularity, and light, fresh, sattvic meals are encouraged. Therapies may include gentle Abhyangam, herbal packs, steam only when suitable, detox support, and naturopathy practices. In some cases, Panchakarma-based approaches may be considered after assessment.

Yoga and pranayama support skin indirectly by improving stress resilience, sleep, circulation, and hormonal rhythm. The program also educates health seekers about simple skincare routines, avoiding overuse of cosmetics, managing triggers, and continuing medical care when required.

Avoid frequent changes in skincare products without understanding triggers. Eat fresh, warm, simple food and reduce excess sugar, fried snacks, packaged foods, and very spicy meals. Keep bowel movements regular and hydrate well. Sleep on time and reduce stress because skin flare-ups often worsen with poor recovery. Avoid scratching, self-medication, or steroid creams without medical advice. Use gentle cleansing and avoid harsh scrubbing. Track food, stress, menstrual cycle, and weather triggers to identify patterns.
