I understand the discomfort and frustration that comes with eczema, which is often linked to an imbalance in the body’s internal systems, particularly the Pitta dosha, which governs heat, inflammation, and the skin. Eczema, being a chronic skin condition, may result from excess Pitta in the body, leading to inflammation, redness, and irritation on the skin. It is important to address both the external symptoms and internal imbalances.
To help manage and soothe eczema, I recommend a holistic approach. First, focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet that is cooling and anti-inflammatory. Include foods like cucumbers, coconut, leafy greens, and dairy products such as ghee and milk, while avoiding spicy, oily, and acidic foods that can aggravate Pitta. Drink cooling herbs like coconut water and aloe vera juice to hydrate the skin from within.
For external care, use natural soothing oils such as coconut oil, sesame oil, or Aloe Vera gel, which are known for their cooling and moisturizing properties. Applying a paste of turmeric and sandalwood or using an Ayurvedic cream containing neem and aloe can help calm inflammation and promote healing. Regularly practicing self-massage (Abhyanga) with cooling oils, like coconut or olive oil, will help balance Pitta and reduce skin irritation.
In addition, Ayurvedic herbs like Neem, Guduchi, and Triphala can be beneficial for detoxification and immune support. Neem, in particular, has potent anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can help clear toxins from the skin. Consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a more personalized treatment plan, as specific herbs, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes can be tailored to your individual needs.
Finally, managing stress through mindfulness practices like meditation and yoga can be incredibly helpful, as emotional factors can exacerbate Pitta imbalances and skin flare-ups. While eczema may not have an immediate cure, Ayurveda offers natural remedies that can help manage the condition effectively and bring balance to your body and mind.

Eczema can be really frustrating, I get it. Balancing those relentless flare-ups can be challenging but don't loose hope just yet. Though it's labeled as "incurable," Ayurveda provides insights to manage and reduce it significantly. The primary idea here is to address the dosha imbalances - usually pitta and kapha - that's triggering this.
Alright, first things first, pay attention to your diet 'cause it plays a big role. Avoid spicy, oily, and junk food. Instead, load up on fresh veggies and seasonal fruits, but you might want to go easy on citrus fruits as they can sometimes cause flare-ups. Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside. Add a pinch of turmeric to your food whenever possible; it’s a natural anti-inflammatory and detoxifier.
Now, regarding lifestyle, reducing stress is key here. Stress often exacerbates eczema. Consider practicing yoga or meditation daily if your time allows. Just 15-20 minutes can strengthen your prana and calm your mind. Also, make sure your sleeping environment is comfortable, skin-friendly and try going to bed and waking up at the same time each day.
For topical relief, a paste of neem leaves or turmeric mixed with a bit of water can be applied to the affected areas. It might sting a bit initially, but their antiseptic properties can really help. Also, consider using coconut oil to keep your skin moisturized; it’s great for reducing inflammation and is an excellent emollient.
Don't forget to consult a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner, especially before starting any herbs or treatments, to find out your specific prakriti so you can get more personalized recommendations!
Finally, just keep patience, give these remedies time to work. Ayurveda healing can be a slower process compared to allopathic medicines, but it's often gentler on the body. Hope you find some relief soon!
