Based on what you’ve mentioned about your skin issues and your use of SNA Valiya Chandanaadi Oil, you’re already on a promising path. This oil is traditionally known for its cooling properties, largely due to ingredients like sandalwood, which are beneficial for managing Pitta imbalances often related to skin conditions like dryness and itchiness.
Since you’re experiencing some relief but still facing persistent dryness, it might not be just about the oil itself, but how it’s used. Apply the oil generously but consider leaving it on a bit longer before washing it off. Instead of just twice a day, try a gentle massage when applying, especially in the evening, to help it penetrate deeper. Massage it in circular motions for about 5-10 minutes. Warm the oil a little by placing the bottle in some warm water before use, which can enhance absorption.
You mentioned that your dryness returns quickly, suggesting there may be an underlying cause like aggravated Vata dosha. Incorporate hydrating foods, warm herbal teas, and avoid overly dry or processed foods. Increase your intake of ghee or healthy oils in your diet, as they can nourish the skin from the inside out.
Additionally, external treatments like oils can only manage symptoms if the root cause persists internally. Focusing on balancing your Pitta and Vata through diet, lifestyle, and stress management can lead to more sustainable results. If dryness and itchiness continue, yes consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to dig deeper into your individual dosha imbalances. They might suggest additional herbs or changes in your routine. It’s crucial to address possible internal factors to effectively bring the skin back to balance.
