Hlo,
Based on Ayurvedic understanding, your symptoms suggest Vicharchika / Pitta–Kapha dominant Kushtha, where Pitta causes burning, itching & dark/brown discoloration, and Kapha causes oozing, thickening & chronicity. Night-time itching increases because Pitta naturally aggravates at night 🌙.
Ayurvedic Cause Aggravated Pitta → burning, irritation, brown/black discoloration Kapha + toxins (Ama) → chronic eczema, dryness, thick skin
Food triggers → incompatible & inflammatory diet (Viruddha Ahara)
Ayurvedic Prescription (General guidance) 🌿 Internal Medicines (Use under an Ayurvedic doctor’s supervision)
- Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after food - Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet once daily after lunch - Mahamanjisthadi Kwath – 15 ml + equal warm water, twice daily - Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp at night with warm water (reduces night itching)
🌿 External Application Neem oil + Coconut oil (1:1) Apply gently twice daily, especially before sleep
If burning is severe → Shatdhauta Ghrita at night ❌ Avoid steroid creams (they worsen discoloration long-term)
🍽️ Diet Rules (VERY IMPORTANT) ✅ Eat Bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin Rice, moong dal Pomegranate, apple Buttermilk (daytime only) ❌ Avoid Completely Curd at night Eggs, fish, meat Fried, spicy, sour foods Bakery, chocolate, fermented foods Milk + salt or milk + fruits together
🌙 Night-Time Itching Control Tips Wash affected area with cool water only Apply oil/ghrita before sleep Keep nails short Sleep before 11 PM
⏳ Improvement Timeline Itching relief: 2–3 weeks Color improvement: 6–8 weeks Chronic control: 3–4 months with diet discipline ⚠️ If lesions are oozing, infected, or spreading fast, Panchakarma (Virechana / Raktamokshana) may be needed. Tq

Hello I can understand your concern regarding eczema that’s been around forever. All that itching, dark skin, dryness, and then it gets even worse at night – it’s really tough.
When you’re constantly itching, it messes with your sleep and just makes you feel stressed out. But don’t worry, Ayurveda has a way of getting to the bottom of eczema and can give you lasting relief if you stick with it.
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING ABOUT ECZEMA
In Ayurveda, eczema often looks a lot like what we call Vicharchika or Kushtha.
Your symptoms sound like:
–Pitta + Kapha are high: That’s why you’re itchy, your skin color is off, and it’s inflamed. –Rakta Dushti (blood isn’t pure): This shows up as those brown or dark skin patches. –Rukshata (dryness): Explains why your skin is flaky. –Ama built up: This points to certain foods being triggers and why it’s been going on for so long. –Night itching: Pitta and Rakta get stirred up more at night.
When your digestion (Agni) is weak, bad stuff (Ama) gets into your blood and shows up on your skin.
What to Check (If You Haven’t Already)
It’s a good idea to check these things to rule out anything making it worse: * CBC * ESR / CRP * Liver function * Serum IgE (tells us about allergies) * Vitamin D & B12
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
1. SHODHANA
–Virechana (gentle cleanse): This is great for eczema that’s been around a while.
–Regular blood-cleansing treatments: Really good for long-term cases.
2. INTERNAL MEDICATION
For Itching, Skin Color, & Inflammation * Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 pill twice a day after food * Mahamanjishthadi Kwath – 15 ml twice a day with the same amount of warm water * Gandhak Rasayan – 1 pill twice a day after food * Khadirarishta – 15 ml twice a day after food with water
For Night Itching and Heat * Avipattikar Churna – 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm water * Guduchi (Giloy) Churna – 3 grams twice a day
EXTERNAL CARE
Daily Care: * Put Karanj Taila or Nimba Taila on the spots twice a day. * If your skin is super dry: Mix Nimba Taila + Coconut oil (half and half).
Bathing: * Use lukewarm water. * Put neem leaves or triphala tea in your bath water. * Skip regular soaps; use an herbal scrub or a gentle glycerin soap.
DIET PLAN
✅INCLUDE * Warm, fresh meals. * Rice, wheat, moong dal. * Bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin. * Pomegranate, apple, pear. * A little cow ghee. * Lots of warm water.
❌AVOID * Curd, buttermilk at night. * Sour, fermented foods. * Pickles, vinegar. * Baked goods, fast food. * Tomatoes, brinjal (if they make itching worse). * Too much sugar & salt. * Seafood (a common trigger for eczema).
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
* Go to bed before 10:30 p.m. * Don’t sleep during the day. * Keep your nails short (so you don’t scratch). * Wear loose, cotton clothes. * Try to chill out (stress makes eczema worse).
HELPFUL TIPS * Sheetali & Sheetkari Pranayama (breathing exercises). * A short walk in the morning. * Gentle oil massage (with oils that don’t irritate).
Important Reminders
* Don’t keep using steroid creams. * Don’t switch treatments all the time. * Stick to the diet – medicines alone won’t do it. * Talk to an Ayurvedic doctor before doing any major cleansing.
Eczema is something you can manage and get under control with Ayurveda, especially when you fix your digestion, clean up your blood, and sort out your lifestyle. If you’re consistent, you’ll have fewer flare-ups, and your skin will naturally look and feel better.
Hope you get healthy, calm skin and some good sleep soon!
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR CONCERN
BASED ON YOUR HISTORY THIS APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC ECZEMA CONDITION WITH DRYNESS PIGMENTATION AND NIGHT TIME AGGRAVATION WHICH IS VERY COMMON IN LONG STANDING SKIN ISSUES THE INCREASED IRRITATION AT NIGHT INDICATES INTERNAL IMBALANCE ALONG WITH ACCUMULATED TOXICITY AND NERVOUS SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT BROWNISH DISCOLORATION USUALLY DEVELOPS DUE TO REPEATED INFLAMMATION SCRATCHING AND IMPROPER HEALING OVER TIME
IN SUCH CASES EXTERNAL CREAMS ALONE DO NOT GIVE LASTING RELIEF TREATMENT HAS TO WORK FROM INSIDE TO REDUCE INTERNAL HEAT DRYNESS AND ALLERGIC RESPONSE AND TO IMPROVE SKIN REGENERATION
YOU MAY START WITH MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYAM 15 ML WITH EQUAL WATER TWICE DAILY BEFORE FOOD KAISHORE GUGGULU 2 TABLETS TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD AND AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER TO SUPPORT DIGESTION AND REDUCE NIGHT ITCHING
FOR LOCAL APPLICATION USE ALOE VERA GEL MIXED WITH A FEW DROPS OF COCONUT OIL AND APPLY A THIN LAYER ON AFFECTED AREAS TWICE DAILY AVOID SCRATCHING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS IT WORSENS PIGMENTATION AND THICKENING OF SKIN
CERTAIN FOODS CAN DEFINITELY TRIGGER ECZEMA SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE AND AVOID ITEMS THAT CLEARLY INCREASE ITCHING SUCH AS VERY SPICY FRIED FERMENTED OR PACKAGED FOODS ALSO AVOID MIXING DAIRY WITH SOUR OR SALTY FOODS
IMPROVEMENT IN IRRITATION IS USUALLY SEEN WITHIN THREE TO FOUR WEEKS BUT PIGMENTATION AND COMPLETE SKIN HEALING TAKES LONGER AND NEEDS CONTINUITY IF SYMPTOMS FLARE UP SEVERELY OR SPREAD RAPIDLY A DETAILED REVIEW AND ADJUSTMENT OF MEDICINES WILL BE REQUIRED
Don’t worry its curable in Ayueveda
