Abstract:
In the present era of modernization, a change of life style of human being has created several disharmonies in his biological system. Altered dietary habits (viruddha annapÄna, adhyaÅ›ana) lead to hyposecretion of digestive juices and diminished gastrointestinal motility which precipitates as Äma doÅ›a. Äma is manifested due to the derangement of jaá¹harÄgni. Due to Äma doÅ›a, the Å›ÄrÄ«rika doá¹£a deviate from its normal proportions and furthermore disturbs dhÄtu-sÄmyatÄ. Äma is responsible for various diseases. It gets lodged into raktavaha strotasa and causes avarodha of the involved strotasa where doá¹£a-dÅ«á¹£ya sammÅ«rcchanÄ occurs. When these vitiated doá¹£a-dÅ«á¹£ya gets sá¹hÄnasaá¹Å›raya in tvak then they manifested as tvak vikÄra. According to modern science, the gastrointestinal and cutaneous systems are closely linked in origin. Dermatological findings are commonly associated with underlying gastrointestinal diseases. It can be understood on the basis of Skin-gut axis. Both skin and gut inhabit a vast community of bacteria and their metabolite, known as skin and gut microbiome which work in harmony. Any disturbance in the gut microbiome (in case of Äma doÅ›a) interrupts its harmony with skin microbiome, thus altering homoeostasis (dhÄtu-sÄmyatÄ). This leads to many gastrointestinal and dermatological manifestations.
