Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that can cause inflamed, painful lumps under the skin. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medical system, offers potential treatments for HS.

Ayurvedic Understanding of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Ayurveda sees HS as similar to a condition called “Nadivrana.” Nadivrana refers to sinus
tracts or fistulas in the body. Treatment focuses on balancing internal doshas (bodily humors)
and promoting healing.

Potential Ayurvedic Therapies

Shodhana and Ropana: These therapies aim to cleanse the body of toxins and
promote healing of affected tissues.

Ksharasutra Therapy: This minimally invasive procedure uses a medicated thread
to drain and heal sinus tracts. Different formulations, like Guggulu-based Apamarga
Ksharasutra, may be used.

Internal Medications: Herbal formulations based on your specific needs may be
prescribed to improve immunity and manage inflammation.

Dietary and Lifestyle Changes: Following an Ayurvedic diet and practicing yoga or
pranayama (breathing exercises) can be beneficial. Sitali Vayu pranayama, which
involves cooling the body, may be recommended in some cases.

Important Points

Ayurvedic treatment for HS is generally considered complementary or alternative
medicine. It should be used under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic doctor
(Vaidya).

Research on the effectiveness of Ayurveda for HS is limited. While some case studies
show promising results, larger studies are needed.

Ayurvedic treatment may not be suitable for all cases of HS. Your doctor will
determine the best course of action based on your individual needs.
