To address your skin allergy, we can adapt principles from Siddha-Ayurveda focusing on balancing your doshas, particularly Pitta, which is often involved in skin issues. Your recent use of new laundry detergent might be the trigger, so first ensure you switch back or select a gentle, fragrance-free option. As you mentioned allergies to pollen and dust, it’s vital to reduce exposure to such irritants as much as possible.
For diet, an anti-inflammatory approach benefits skin conditions. Avoid spicy, oily, and heat-inducing foods that can increase Pitta. Favor cooling vegetables like cucumber, zucchini, and coconut. Berries and green leafy vegetables rich in antioxidants can also help soothe inflammation. You can also include Amla (Indian gooseberry) in your diet, known for its antioxidant properties. Take it as fresh juice or powdered form with water.
Topically, apply a paste made with sandalwood and rose water on affected areas; this can help reduce itching and irritation. Another remedy involves using neem oil, which has antibacterial and antifungal properties; dilute it with coconut oil. Then, apply gently to the skin at night and wash off in the morning.
Ensure adequate hydration to aid in detoxification and consider practicing yoga or pranayama to enhance circulation and reduce stress. However, if your symptoms persist or exacerbate, consider consulting a healthcare professional to ascertain no underlying chronic condition is present. It’s crucial to ensure skin allergies don’t escalate into more severe reactions.
