What Are the Symptoms of Chicken Pox and How Can Ayurveda Help in Managing It? - #15026
A few days ago, my child started showing signs of what seemed like a common cold—fever, sore throat, and fatigue—but then small red spots started appearing all over their body. After consulting with the pediatrician, it was confirmed that they have chicken pox. While the doctor gave us some treatment for fever and itching, I’m really looking for natural ways to make the recovery process smoother and more comfortable for my child. I’ve heard that Ayurveda offers effective remedies for managing the discomfort caused by chicken pox, such as relieving itching and reducing inflammation. Are there any herbs or natural treatments that can help soothe the skin, speed up healing, and improve the body’s immune response? I’ve heard that neem, turmeric, and Aloe Vera are commonly used for skin conditions—could these be helpful in alleviating symptoms of chicken pox? In addition to external treatments, I’m curious about Ayurvedic dietary recommendations to help support my child’s immune system and promote faster recovery from chicken pox. Are there specific foods or drinks that can support the skin and boost immunity during this time? Has anyone here dealt with chicken pox and used Ayurveda to manage the symptoms or improve recovery time? What herbs, oils, or practices worked for you or your child in soothing the skin and supporting the healing process?
