The body releases toxins through the digestion, urine, skin & lungs. Rashes may result when there are too many toxins, or the liver becomes otherwise aggravated. Some rashes may be infectious and require a visit to a medical doctor. All rashes are a sign of aggravated Pitta. However, the underlying cause may come from Vata, Pitta, or Kapha. Vata rashes are generally dry. Pitta rashes are intense, spreading quickly. Kapha rashes are generally moist. Ayurveda generally recommends treating the underlying dosha and Pitta together.

Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Rashes' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.
