Abstract

Viruddha Ahara or incompatible food is very important issue discussed by Ayurveda. These incompatible foods play a major role in the production of many diseases specially skin disease like eruption, leucoderma and different types of dermatological disorder. The food which is wrong in combination, which has undergone wrong processing, which is consumed in incorrect dose, which is consumed in incorrect time of day and in wrong season is known as Viruddha Ahara. Number of food incompatibilities are mentioned in Ayurved literature, such as Charaka and Sushruta Samhitas. Regularly intakes of incompatible food act as a poison which leads to aggravation of all Doshas and causing most of the diseases including skin disease. Viruddha Ahara can lead to inflammation at a molecular level. The ancient and recent surveys both prove that incompatible food habits are one of the major causes of skin disease. In today’s modern era, due to lack of knowledge about correct eating habits, we inattentively follow the wrong dietary habits which manifest dermatological disorder. Avoidance of intake of incompatible food is an important role in the prevention of dermatological disorder.
