HELLO,

Eczema- is called vicharchika in Ayurveda It’s a type of kushta (skin disorder) that mainly involves vata and Kapha doshas, sometimes also pitta when there’s redness, burning, or oozing

AYURVEDIC VIEW -VATA DOSHA causes dryness, scaling, roughness, and cracks -KAPHA DOSHA causes thickening, itching, and stickiness -PITTA DOSHA causes redness , burning, and oozing

When these doshas get disturbed by wrong diet, stress, lack of sleep, or poor digestion, they mix with the blood and settle in the skin That leads to the symptoms your grandson experiences - dry, itching, inflamed patches on arms, neck and back

TREATMENT GOALS -remove toxins from the body -purify blood -balance the doshas -heal the skin and strengthen immunity -improve digestion and metabolism

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KHADIRARISHTA= 20 ml twice daily after meals with warm water =excellent blood purifier, reduces itching and rashes

2) MANJISTHADI KAHSAYA= 20 ml twice daily before meals with warm water =detoxifies skin and improves complexion

3) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals =acts as Rasayana,a boosts immunity, prevents infection

4) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = regulates liver and digestion, essential skin health

5) SARIVADI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =cooling and soothing balances pitta and rakta

6) SOOTSEKHAR RAS (if dryness is severe)= 1 tab twice daily with ghee after meals =reduces vata, calm itching, and improves digestion

DURATION= 8-12 weeks

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

CLEANSING -use lukewarm water infused with Neem leaves or triphala powder = cleanses, prevents infection, and reduces itching

TOPICAL APPLICATIONS -Coconut oil + few drops of neem oil= apply gently twice daily- soothes dryness, antibacterial

-JATYADI TAILA= apply on sores on cracks- speeds wound healing, reduces infection

-KAILAS JEEVAN OR ALOE VERA GEL=for mild itching or redness- cooling and mositurizing

-KUMKUMADI TAILA (night)= if skin becomes too dark or patchy= improves texture and tone

Avoid steroid creams or perfumed lotions, as they can worsen dryness over time

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -warm, freshly cooked food with a little ghee -green leafy vegetables boiled/spiced lightly -fruits=pomegranate, apple, papaya, amla -whole grains= rice, wheat, millets -herbal teas with tulsi, guduchi , or licorice -adequate water intake warm water preferred

AVOID -curd, cheese, panner, and other dairy especially at night -fried, oily, and spicy foods -sour foods- vinegar, pickles, citrus in excess -junk foods, bakery items, soft drinks -late night sleep ,irregular eating -excessive stress or overthinknig increases vata

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana= improves blood flow to skin -ardha matysnedrasana= enhances digestion -tadasana and vrikshasana= stabilises vata -pawanmuktasana= relieves bloating, aids detox

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances all doshas -Bhramari= calms the mind and reduces itching related to stress -Sheetali/sheetkari= cooling, helps pitta related burning or redness

HOME REMEDIES -Neem and turmeric paste- apply on itchy areas 1-2 times/week -anti septic, anti inflamatory -Coconut water with camphor tiny pinch- for night application- relieves itching and dryness -Aloe vera pulp + sandalwood powder - apply as a mask- cools and soothes skin -Drink turmeric. milk 1/4 tsp turmeric in warm milk nightly- supports internal cleansing -Bath with oatmeal or green gram powder- natural cleanser for sensitive skin

Eczema is a chronic but reversible condition. Ayurveda treats is holistically- by cleansing toxins, nourishing skin and restoring internal harmony The key lies in -consistency with herbal medicines -proper diet and regular lifestyle -avoiding known triggers -keeping a cam, stress free mind

Once the doshas are balanced and digestion is strong, skin regains its natural softness and glow- with fewer flare ups

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Hello You​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ have been experiencing eczema with itching on your arms, legs, and feet for 6 months. You have been moderately and frequently itching, but no clear triggers have been identified. I know this must be very uncomfortable for you, but don’t worry, we are here to help you out 😊

✅AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

Eczema is mainly caused by: Tridosha (Vata-Pitta-Kapha) Dushti Vata = dryness, cracking, itching Pitta =redness, burning, heat Kapha = oozing, thickening, discoloration Agni Dushti = Ama formation

Weak digestion and toxin accumulation lead to skin hypersensitivity. Raktadushti (impure or heated blood)

This is the major reason for chronic itching and exacerbations.

Hence, eczema is a disease that requires both internal cleansing + external healing for ultimate relief.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅ SHODHANA (Detox / Deep Cleansing) ( Locally performed Panchakarma)

For chronic eczema of 6 months duration, Shodhana is necessary for a permanent cure.

1. Raktamokshana (Leech therapy) Makes blood purification more profound Relieves itching on the spot Very good for patchy eczema

2. Virechana (Pitta cleansing) Gets rid of the inflammatory toxins Reduces recurrence Improves skin quality

3. Takra Dhara (optional) Intense cooling for Pitta and itching Gives relief from irritation and dryness

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

👉 For Raktashodhana (blood cleansing) Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tab twice daily Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tab twice daily Manjishtadi Kashaya – 20 ml with an equal amount of water twice daily

👉 To reduce itching & dryness Sarivadyasava – 20 ml with water after meals

👉For skin immunity & healing Neem capsules – 1 twice daily

✅EXTERNAL CARE

1. Medicated oil Nalpamaradi Keram This relieves the symptoms of inflammation, dryness, and irritation.

2. Anti-itch herbal pastes Sandalwood + rose water Neem leaf paste

✅DIET MODIFICATION

👉Foods to Take Warm, fresh meals Ghee in small amounts Moong dal khichdi Pomegranate, apple, melon Vegetables: bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin

❌Foods to Avoid

Curd Spicy, fried foods Fermented foods Milk + salty foods together Fish + milk combination Tomatoes, brinjal Pickles, bakery foods

✅Lifestyle Advice

Bath with only lukewarm water Do not use chemical soaps; use green gram powder or an Ayurvedic bathing bar Do not scratch (apply cold aloe gel instead) Regular sleep pattern Try to avoid stress— a main trigger 10 min pranayama daily – Sheetali, Sheetkari

With consistent treatment, permanent relief is possible in 4–6 months

Eczema can be kept under control forever if the root cause (Rakta + Agni + Ama) is taken care of.

Warm ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Eczema or skin irritation often relates to imbalances in the doshas, predominantly Vata and Pitta doshas in Ayurveda. The aim of Ayurveda is to address these underlying imbalances, not just the symptoms. First, focus on your diet and lifestyle. Taking a Sattvic diet which is cooling and soothing can be beneficial. Avoiding spicy, fried, and processed foods is crucial as they aggravate Pitta. Favor foods that are naturally sweet, bitter, and astringent such as leafy green vegetables, and fresh fruits.

For external application, using a natural moisturizer like coconut oil, preferably after a bath, can nourish and hydrate the skin. Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties and aids in reducing skin irritation. Besides, applying a paste made from sandalwood and turmeric mixed with a little water to affected areas can help calm the skin. Both have naturally cooling properties.

Internally, drinking warm water throughout the day can aid digestion and help remove toxins. Use Ghee (clarified butter) in cooking, as it pacifies both Vata and Pitta doshas, and improves the skin’s moisture.

Herbal remedies such as Triphala can help detoxify the body, promoting overall skin health, and may be consumed at night in moderate amounts. However, as eczema can vary greatly from person to person, it’s best to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a detailed examination and tailored treatment.

Practices like yoga and meditation are also helpful as they lower stress, a common trigger for eczema flares. Make sure you’re using only natural fabrics like cotton which let the skin breathe. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation or infection.

Monitoring and altering these habits takes some time, so patience and consistency are key for seeing effective change. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable to explore potential underlying conditions or for emergency care.
