Scleroderma is an autoimmune disorder hardening skin through excess collagen, sometimes involving lungs, kidneys, and gut. Early rheumatology care with organ monitoring is essential.

The Ayurvedic View of Scleroderma
Ayurvedic Understanding
Ayurveda views hardening with dryness and poor circulation as aggravated Vata with blocked channels and depleted unctuousness.
Supportive care centres on daily oleation, warmth, circulation-friendly movement, reflux diet, and nourishing herbs.
