Ama (the undigested nano toxins), which arise because of faulty food habits and a weakened Agni(digestive capacity), accumulate in the channels of circulation, causing blockages and subsequently leading to inflammatory and allergic reactions, which eventually lead to skin eruptions

If the quality of the brajaka pitha can be maintained and balanced, overall skin health can be achieved. For a complete recovery, we treat the pitha sthana as well.
