Ah, eczema, such a persiistent issue can be, right? Rasaut is indeed known in Ayurveda for being quite handy with skin stuff. So, your friend’s not far off! Rasaut is derived from daruharidra (yep, tree turmeric, you got it right) and is hailed for it’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial magical properties. It’s pretty much, like, the Ayurvedic way of saying, let’s tackle the inflammation and those pesky microbes head-on.
When it comes to skin issues, rasaut might help in multiple ways. It’s usually applied externally for issues like eczema or psoriasis, meaning you can make it into a paste with some water or even mix it with something soothing like coconut oil to apply on the skin. Sometimes, people take it internally too, but I’d say, always better to consult someone familiar with your condition to figure out the best route for you.
About the blood purification bit, rasaut is believed to have potential detoxifying properties that might help reduce Pitta excess, which is often related to inflammation and ‘heat’ issues, like you mentioned. It’s not like an overnight miracle, more like a gradual helper, so you could expect - changes could take a few weeks to notice.
Sensitive skin? Yep, gotta be careful there. Definitely try patch testing the rasaut on a small area first — no one wants surprises. Mixing with coconut oil, like I said, or rose water can make it gentler. Oh, and diet! Keep it Pitta-pacifying: think cooling foods — cucumbers, melons, coriander - have those on your side while you try rasaut.
Allergies or redness, if they pop up, hit pause and check with an expert. Someone’s testimony could differ, remember. Always better walking this path with knowledge than assumptions. Be gentle on yourself and your skin. :)
