Nagarnjuna Kayyunyaadi Keram is indeed a traditional Ayurvedic oil formulation commonly used to manage various skin conditions, much like the one you’re experiencing. Its key ingredients aim to balance the pitta and vata doshas, which could be contributing to your dry and itchy skin, especially considering your stress levels and dietary habits.
To use this oil effectively, I’d recommend applying a thin layer directly to the affected areas on your forearm before showering or bathing. Allow it to penetrate the skin for about 20-30 minutes. Then, gently wash it off with lukewarm water and a mild Ayurvedic soap or cleanser. This pre-bath application helps the oil absorb into your pores, helping moisturize and soothe the skin deeply. Aim to do this once daily, ideally in the morning.
Your current stress and nutrition could exacerbate vata and pitta imbalances, which might explain the resurgence of your eczema-like symptoms. Therefore, try to incorporate grounding habits like regular, balanced meals with cooked, warm foods to help modulate these doshas. Focus on foods like ghee, cooked veggies, and nuts, which can nourish the dhatus and improve skin health.
Regarding side effects, Nagarnjuna Kayyunyaadi Keram is generally well-tolerated, but every skin is unique. Discontinue its use if you notice increased redness, irritation, or any unusual reaction.
While this oil can be supportive in managing mild to moderate cases, considering the history of eczema and current symptoms if there’s no improvement or if symptoms worsen, please consult a healthcare provider to rule out infections or other conditions requiring immediate attention. Your concern about professional medical advice is valid and should be priority if there’s any uncertainty in self-managing your condition.
