your condition is mainly due to Vata dosha imbalance, which causes dryness, roughness, and itching of the skin. Sometimes Kapha involvement can lead to thickened, darker skin. This condition is similar to Ichthyosis vulgaris, but in Ayurveda we see it as a disorder of Rasa and Rakta dhatu (body tissues) with dryness dominating. –It increases in winter because Vata becomes stronger, leading to more dryness and cracking. ----Internal Medicines 1) Gandhak Rasayan 250 mg – 1 tab bd after food 2) Lukoskin Oral Liquid (Aimil) 10 ml + water bd after food 3) Amyron Syrup (Aimil) 2 tsp BD after food — External 5) Lukoskin Ointment (Aimil) → Local application twice a day after mouth wash 6) Eladi Keram (Kerala Ayurveda) → Full body Abhyanga OD before bath – Advice Avoid dry, cold, spicy food Take ghee, warm diet Daily oil massage — Follow-up After 4 weeks
