Hello, Since when did you first experience dry or sensitive skin, and do you have a history of allergies or digestive issues? Have you noticed if certain foods, weather conditions, or stress worsen your symptoms?

Your symptoms indicate a Pitta-Vata imbalance, leading to excessive heat, dryness, and inflammation in the skin. Follow a Pitta-Vata pacifying diet—avoid spicy, sour, fried, and fermented foods.

Internal Medicines: Syp. Aragwadhadi Kashaya – 10-15 ml twice daily with warm water to purify the blood and reduce itching. Syp. Patolakaturohinyadi Kashaya – 10-15 ml twice daily to balance Pitta and support liver detoxification. Mahatikta Ghrita – 1 tsp with warm water before meals for deep skin healing. (Start after 10 days) Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily to purify the blood and prevent flare-ups. Kaishore Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily to eliminate toxins (Ama).

External Applications: Apply Mahamarichyadi Taila or Eladi Taila or Gandhak druti, to soothe and heal skin inflammation. Use a Neem and Turmeric paste mixed with coconut oil on affected areas. Do this consistently for 2 months for complete recovery.

Namaste, Reduce spicy, sour, and fermented foods that aggravate inflammation. Increase bitter & cooling foods—include karela (bitter gourd), methi (fenugreek), neem leaves, and bottle gourd, which help purify the blood. Drink coriander seed water—soak 1 tsp coriander seeds overnight, strain, and drink in the morning. This soothes inflammation and detoxifies. Avoid dairy & heavy foods—excess dairy, fried foods, and sugar can worsen eczema by creating ama (toxins).Hydrate with herbal-infused water—boil water with fennel, cumin, and coriander seeds for better digestion and toxin elimination.

Regular oil massage (Abhyanga)—use coconut oil, almond oil, or kumkumadi oil before bathing to hydrate the skin. Sunlight therapy—morning sunlight (before 7.30AM) helps improve vitamin D levels and skin repair. practicing deep breathing (Anulom Vilom) and meditation helps balance Pitta and reduces flare-ups caused by stress. • Bathe with herbal water—boil neem leaves in water and use it for bathing Use natural cleansers—instead of soap, use gram flour (besan) mixed with turmeric and rose water. Apply a soothing mask—mix sandalwood powder, turmeric, and fresh aloe vera gel for cooling relief. Wake up early (before sunrise)—aligning with nature’s rhythm helps detoxify the body. Regular bowel movements—constipation can worsen skin conditions, so ensure fiber-rich foods and proper hydration.

Oh, eczema—such a persistent little bugger! Totally understand your frustration there. So, let’s dive right into some ayurvedic goodness, because Ayurveda really shines with this holistic approach. Skin issues like eczema actually point to an imbalance in your doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata, which love to stir trouble like this.

First off, I’d say you need to dial down the Pitta. One of the easiest ways to cool that fire is by tweaking your diet a bit. Go for stuff that’s cooling, like cucumbers, melons or coconut water. Maybe cut back on spicy, oily foods - and totally skip the fermented stuff. Honestly, caffeine and alcohol are not gonna be your friends here either. Stay hydrated, your skin will thank you for it!

As for herbs, Neem and Turmeric are like your two best pals. They’ve got cooling, anti-inflammatory properties which can really soothe that fiery skin. You might wanna consider making a paste from Neem leaves or turmeric powder with a bit of water—dab it on those patches, leave it for a bit, then rinse. Just keep an eye out for any allergies when trying something new!

There’s also this amazing oil called Kumkumadi, which you can use for gentle massages. It’s made from herbs that nourish and rejuvenate the skin. Do this once a day, but not when the rash is super active or open, as it might irritate things more.

Now, gettin’ some internal balance is also key. Consider triphala churna at night. This helps improve digestion and detoxify, supporting your skin too.

Lifestyle tweaks are huge too—breathin’ exercises like Pranayama and calming yoga can really keep stress, a big eczema trigger, in check. And don’t forget to sleep well, it’s like thee ultimate reset button for your body.

And if things don’t settle or start gettin’ worse, consultation with a qualified ayurvedic doc can help personalize things further. Remember, what works can vary from person to person, and sometimes, deeper imbalances might need a closer look.
