सूखी, खुजली वाली त्वचा और पिग्मेंटेशन में मदद करें - #47798
नमस्ते! मैं कुछ समय से आपसे सलाह ले रहा हूँ। आपकी सहायता और मार्गदर्शन के लिए बहुत धन्यवाद। अभी मुझे महसूस हो रहा है कि मेरी त्वचा बहुत सूखी और खुजलीदार हो गई है। मुझे अपने चेहरे पर मृत त्वचा महसूस हो रही है (सर्दियों ने इसे और खराब कर दिया है) और मेरे चेहरे पर हल्का पिगमेंटेशन भी शुरू हो गया है। मेरी त्वचा पर कुछ छोटे धब्बे भी हैं। मेरी उम्र 40 साल है और मैं शाकाहारी हूँ। पहले मुझे वात दोष का निदान हुआ था और मैं दशमूलारिष्ट, ब्राह्मी वटी, अश्वगंधा चूर्ण, शंखपुष्पी और हिंग्वाष्टक चूर्ण जैसी दवाइयाँ ले रहा हूँ। आप क्या सुझाव देंगे?

Namste Thanks for trusting us with your concerns. I totally get how annoying and worrying dry, itchy skin, dead skin cells, and new dark spots can be, especially in winter. It’s even more of a pain when you know you’re naturally more Vata.but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
YOUR CONCERN
–You’re 40, vegetarian, and dealing with: – More dryness and itchiness lately. – That dead skin feeling on your face. – Some new light spots on your face. – Tiny spots on your skin. – Everything gets worse in winter. – You know you have a Vata body type.
You’re currently taking:
* Dashmoolarishta * Brahmi Vati * Ashwagandha churna * Shankapushpi * Hingvashtak churna
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
This sounds like: –Vata getting out of whack (cold, dry, rough stuff getting worse in winter). –Your body’s early signs of needing more love for your blood and plasma. –A little bit of Pitta activity causing the spots. –Maybe too much dryness inside because of: * Cold weather. * Your digestive powder. * Not enough oiling.
Basically, your skin is asking for things that are moist, balanced in temperature, and help it heal.
A quick look at your current meds:
Your medicines are mostly good, but we need to tweak a couple of things for now:
* Hingvashtak churna can be drying and warming. * This might make dryness worse if you keep taking it long-term when you’re already Vata. * Dashmoolarishta is fine, but don’t overdo it in winter without also oiling your body.
👉 This doesn’t mean these meds are bad – just that we need to adjust them for the season.
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
INTERNAL MEDICATION
✅ ADD
1.Mahatikta Ghrita – ½ teaspoon before bed with warm water. This is amazing for dryness, itchiness, spots, and feeding your skin.
✅ Keep taking these:
* Ashwagandha churna– same amount. * Brahmi Vati / Shankapushpi – keep going (stress makes skin worse).
❌ Change this:
* Hingvashtak churna – cut back to once a day after your main meal, or stop it for 2-3 weeks.
EXTERNAL CARE (SUPER IMPORTANT FOR YOU!)
🌿 Daily Oil Massage (You gotta do this!)
Oil for face: Kumkumadi Taila Oil for body: Ksheerabala Taila or just plain sesame oil. When: 10-15 minutes before your bath. How often: Every day in winter.
This will: ✔ Reduce itchiness. ✔ Help with spots. ✔ Naturally get rid of dead skin. ✔ Calm down Vata from its roots.
FACE CARE (Easy & Safe)
– Skip harsh scrubs and chemical peels. –Once a week: * Use a mix of chickpea flour, milk, and a drop of ghee for a gentle scrub.
–At night: * Put 2 drops of Kumkumadi Taila on damp skin.
FOOD AND LIFESTYLE
✅INCLUDE
✔ Eat warm, freshly made meals. ✔ Add ghee to your food every day. ✔ Drink milk at night if it settles well with you. ✔ Eat almonds (soaked and peeled).
❌ AVOID
* Really dry foods. * Lots of salads. * Cold water. * Skipping meals.
LIFESTYLE
* Don’t take super hot showers. * Keep your skin covered from cold air. * Get enough sleep (your skin heals at night!).
Your skin troubles aren’t a serious illness, just a seasonal Vata problem. With good oiling, a little internal healing, and cutting back on things that dry you out, your skin can become soft, clear, and healthy again.

WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS VERY COMMON AND VERY CLASSIC OF VATA AGGRAVATION ESPECIALLY IN WINTER AND AROUND THIS AGE
DRYNESS ITCHING DEAD SKIN FINE PIGMENTATION AND TINY SPOTS ALL SHOW THAT VATA HAS BECOME STRONG ON THE SKIN LEVEL AND THE SKIN IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH SNEHANA AND RASA DHATU NOURISHMENT FROM INSIDE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE DRINKING WATER
IN AYURVEDA WATER ALONE DOES NOT HYDRATE VATA SKIN VATA NEEDS OIL WARMTH AND NOURISHMENT
THE MEDICINES YOU ARE TAKING ARE GOOD BUT THEY ARE MORE NERVINE AND DIGESTIVE SUPPORTING THEY ARE NOT DIRECTLY NOURISHING THE SKIN TISSUE
WINTER COLD WIND LATE SLEEP FASTING DRY FOOD TEA COFFEE AND EVEN STRESS QUICKLY DRY UP VATA SKIN AND THAT SHOWS FIRST ON FACE
DO NOT SCRUB DO NOT USE HARSH FACE WASH OR FOAM BASED PRODUCTS THEY INCREASE DEAD SKIN AND PIGMENTATION
EVERY NIGHT APPLY 2 to 3 DROPS OF KUMKUMADI TAILAM OR ALMOND OIL ON FACE LET IT STAY OVERNIGHT
IN THE MORNING DO NOT WASH FACE WITH HOT WATER USE LUKEWARM OR NORMAL WATER
INTERNALLY YOU NEED MORE SNEHANA SO ADD ONE TEASPOON GHEE DAILY WITH LUNCH OR DINNER
ADD MAHATIKTAKA GHRITA ONE TEASPOON ONCE DAILY WITH WARM WATER OR BEFORE FOOD THIS WILL HELP IN DRYNESS ITCHING AND PIGMENTATION
ADD MANJISHTHA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER FOR BLOOD PURIFICATION AND CLEARING SKIN SPOTS
IF ITCHING IS MORE YOU CAN TAKE KHADIRARISHTA FIFTEEN ML WITH EQUAL WATER AFTER LUNCH AND DINNER
FOR OVERALL SKIN RASA DHATU SUPPORT TAKE GUDUCHI SATVA 2 PUNCH IN THE MORNING WITH WARM WATER
YOU CAN CONTINUE DASHMOOLARISHTA BRAHMI VATI ASHWAGANDHA AND SANKHAPUSHPI BUT HINGVASTAK SHOULD BE LIMITED IF SKIN IS VERY DRY TAKE IT ONLY WHEN THERE IS GAS OR HEAVINESS
INCLUDE WARM COOKED FOODS SOUPS DAL KHICHDI MILLET PORRIDGE STEWED VEGETABLES AND AVOID RAW SALADS AT NIGHT
SLEEP BEFORE 10.40 PM
THE PIGMENTATION AND TINY SPOTS ARE EARLY SIGNS AND THEY ARE REVERSIBLE IF VATA IS PACIFIED NOW
DO NOT WORRY THIS IS NOT A MAJOR SKIN DISEASE THIS IS YOUR BODY ASKING FOR MORE NOURISHMENT AND CARE
IF YOU FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY YOU SHOULD START FEELING SOFTER SKIN LESS ITCHING AND BETTER GLOW WITHIN THREE TO FOUR WEEKS
TAKE CARE AND LISTEN TO YOUR BODY IT IS DOING ITS BEST TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU
Dnt worry take:-
Kayakalp vati=2-2 tab before meal twice daily
Kishore gugulu AROGYAWARDNI VATI 2-2 tab after meal twice daily
Kayakalp advance oil …for local application
Avoid sweets and spicy food
Do regular exercise and yoga

HELLO NAMASTEY,
Your skin problem is not a disease, but a functional imbalance
WHAT YOU ARE EXPEREINCING -Dryness -itching -dead skin/scaling -light pigmentation -tiny spots -worse in winter All these point to Vata dosha imbalance, which you were already diagnosed with earlier
HOW AYURVEDA SEES YOUR SKIN PROBLEM
SKIN IS NOURISHED BY -proper digestion -healthy blood -adequate oiliness -calm nervous system
In your case -vata is high -oiliness is low -skin nourishment is insufficient -cold weather increased dryness -mild Pitta involvement has started-> pigmentation
So this is called -Vata-pradhana twak vikara with early Rakta dushti
WHY THIS HAPPENED (ROOT CAUSE)
1) AGE FACTOR -At 40 years, vata naturally increases in the body
2) SEASON (winter) -Winter is cold, dry and rough- same qualities as vata
3) VATA PRAKRITI -Your natural body type is already vata dominant
4) LACK OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL OILING -Even if water intake is good, skin needs oil, to just water
5) DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION -vata affects digestion-> nutrients don’t reach skin properly
TREATMENT GOALS -pacify vat dosha -restore skin lubrication -purify and nourish rakta (blood) -strengthen digestion gently -rebuild skin tissue naturall -prevent progression to chronic pigmentation or eczema
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
A) SNEHA THERAPY (most important)
1)COW’S GHEE -1 tsp daily -morning, empty stomach -with warm water milk
DURATION -minimum 6-8 weeks -can continue longer safely
WHY IT IS GIVEN -ghee is the best medicine for vata -lubricates dry tissues -nourishes skin from inside -improves absorption of nutrients -reduces scaling and itching ->Many skin problems improve only with ghee, nothing else
2) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals or 6 weeks =purifies blood , reduces itching, improves skin texture, prevents pigmentation from worsening, ver useful for tiny spot
3) KHADIRARISHTA= 15ml + equal water twice daily after meals for 8 weeks =classical for skin, improves complexion, helps dryness + pigmentation, supports liver and blood purification
YOUR EXISTING MEDIICNES (continue) -Dashmoolarishta= good for vata -Ashwagandha= strength and nervour system -Hingwastaka= digestion (use only when needed)
EXTERNAL TREATMENT without this internal mediicnes work one 50%
A) OIL MASSAGE= SESAME OIL + LITTLE GHEE (3:1)
HOW -slightly warm oil -apply on face and body -gentle massage -leave for 20-30 min -wash with lukewarm water
FREQUENCY -minimum 5 days a week
WHY IT IS GIVEN -directly pacifies vata -removes dryness -improves circulation -prevents skin aging
B) FACE CARE CLEANSER -Milk + few drops sesame oil OR -Besan + milk (2-3 times/week only) AVOID soap and face wash daily
WEEKLY FACE PACK -Sandalwood powder + milk + 2 drops ghee -once weekly
BENEFITS -nourishes skin -reduces pigmentation -improves glow
DIET -warm food -freshly cooked meals -ghee daily -milk warm -rice, wheat -moong dal -stewed fruits
AVOID -cold water -raw salads -dry snacks -bakery items -excess tea/coffee -skippping meals
WARM +OILY + NOURISHING IS THE RUEL
LIFESTYLE ADVICE -avoid late night -protects skin form cold wind -do not over scrub or exfoliate -keep body warm -reduce stress very important for skin
YOGA ASANAS -tadasana -bhujangasana -vajrasana -balasana
PRANAYAM -Anulom villom=10 min -bhramari=5 rounds
WHY -improves circulation -reduces vata -improves skin nourishment -calms mind
HOME REMEDIES -apply ghee lightly on face at night (2-3 times/week) -Drink warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg at night -use humidifier in winter if possible
PROGNOSIS -Itching and dryness reduces->10-14 days -Scaling-> 3-4 weeks -Pigmentation-> 6-8 weeks -Skin strength and glow-> gradual improvement
This is a reversible, manageable condition not a serious disease
Your body isa skin for -warmth -oil -regular nourishment -gentle care Ayurveda works slowly but deeply. If you follow this sincerely, our skin will not only improve but become stronger and healthier long term
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
