Dedicated to excellence.
SKIN is the largest organ of our body performing dual functions;
while skin is the sensory organ of touch, it also provides a protective
cover to the internal tissues and organs.Skin has three layers the outer
epidermis which provides a water proof protective barrier and creates
the skin tone; the middle dermis which is made up of thick connective
tissue, sweat glands and hair follicles and the inner most hypodermis
which contains fat and connective tissue.
The anatomy and surgery exponent Sushrutha Acarya explains seven layers
of the skin each nourishing the layer above it and each with a distinct
function of its own.
The detailed description of the seven layers from outermost to innermost goes as

A balanced state of tridoshas (vata, pitta, kapha), properly nourished tissues (saptadhatus) and a stress free calm mind are the essentials for a healthy skin. Skin health assessed by evaluating the colour, tone, lustre,softness and absence of skin diseases depends on proper nutrition, strict hygiene,age,immunity,genetic factors,body metabolism, mental status and medications. Thesefactors individually or collectively affect skin health and cause skin diseases.
