Eczema Treatment - #18848

Anonymous

Since about three months ago, I've been dealing with some persistent skin issues that have gradually worsened. I first noticed red, itchy patches appearing on my arms and legs, and over time they began to spread and cause discomfort in other areas of my body. I suspect it might be eczema, as the itching and occasional burning sensation really interfere with my daily activities. Initially, I tried over-the-counter creams and even a couple of home remedies, but nothing seemed to work long-term. Recently, I experimented with an Ayurvedic approach by using natural herbs and oil massages recommended by a friend, but the improvements were only temporary. Now I'm wondering if a more holistic and personalized Ayurvedic treatment plan might offer a lasting solution. I’m particularly interested in understanding which herbs or dietary changes could help manage the symptoms more effectively. Can you please share any insights on how to treat eczema naturally using Ayurvedic principles? I’d appreciate your advice on treatment adjustments and any additional therapies that might suit my condition.

Eczema is a skin disorder which occurs because of Doshas imbalance and toxins accumulation in the body...that can balance with diet and medicine but it will take time...but with the help of panchkarma thereby you will get a faster result...this is the best ऋतु (time) for vaman ...it will remove all the toxins and imbalanced doshas from the body...after that you can take medicine to maintain the result...

Your symptoms suggest eczema (Vicharchika) linked to Pitta-Kapha imbalance. For relief: 1. Diet: Follow a Pitta-pacifying diet — include cooling foods like cucumber, leafy greens, and coconut oil. Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods. 2. Herbs: Neem, Guduchi, and Manjistha can purify the blood and reduce inflammation. 3. External Care: Apply Neem oil, coconut oil, or Aloe Vera for soothing relief. Turmeric paste can help reduce redness and itching. 4. Lifestyle: Practice yoga, meditation, and ensure quality sleep. 5. Detox: Therapies like Virechana or Takra Dhara may help if symptoms persist. 6. Medications: Consider Mahamanjishthadi Kwath, Arogyavardhini Vati, or Panchatiktaka Guggulu under medical guidance. For personalized care, I recommend consulting an Ayurvedic physician. Wishing you comfort and recovery.

Hello, Since when did you first experience dry or sensitive skin, and do you have a history of allergies or digestive issues? Have you noticed if certain foods, weather conditions, or stress worsen your symptoms? Your symptoms indicate a Pitta-Vata imbalance, leading to excessive heat, dryness, and inflammation in the skin. Follow a Pitta-Vata pacifying diet—avoid spicy, sour, fried, and fermented foods. Internal Medicines: Syp. Aragwadhadi Kashaya – 10-15 ml twice daily with warm water to purify the blood and reduce itching. Syp. Patolakaturohinyadi Kashaya – 10-15 ml twice daily to balance Pitta and support liver detoxification. Mahatikta Ghrita – 1 tsp with warm water before meals for deep skin healing. (Start after 10 days) Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily to purify the blood and prevent flare-ups. Kaishore Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily to eliminate toxins (Ama). External Applications: Apply Mahamarichyadi Taila or Eladi Taila or Gandhak druti, to soothe and heal skin inflammation. Use a Neem and Turmeric paste mixed with coconut oil on affected areas. Do this consistently for 2 months for complete recovery.

Namaste, Reduce spicy, sour, and fermented foods that aggravate inflammation. Increase bitter & cooling foods—include karela (bitter gourd), methi (fenugreek), neem leaves, and bottle gourd, which help purify the blood. Drink coriander seed water—soak 1 tsp coriander seeds overnight, strain, and drink in the morning. This soothes inflammation and detoxifies. Avoid dairy & heavy foods—excess dairy, fried foods, and sugar can worsen eczema by creating ama (toxins).Hydrate with herbal-infused water—boil water with fennel, cumin, and coriander seeds for better digestion and toxin elimination. Use natural fabrics—wear loose, cotton clothes to avoid irritation. Avoid synthetic materials that trap heat. Regular oil massage (Abhyanga)—use coconut oil, almond oil, or kumkumadi oil before bathing to hydrate the skin. Sunlight therapy—morning sunlight (before 7.30AM) helps improve vitamin D levels and skin repair. practicing deep breathing (Anulom Vilom) and meditation helps balance Pitta and reduces flare-ups caused by stress. • Bathe with herbal water—boil neem leaves in water and use it for bathing Use natural cleansers—instead of soap, use gram flour (besan) mixed with turmeric and rose water. Apply a soothing mask—mix sandalwood powder, turmeric, and fresh aloe vera gel for cooling relief. Wake up early (before sunrise)—aligning with nature’s rhythm helps detoxify the body. Regular bowel movements—constipation can worsen skin conditions, so ensure fiber-rich foods and proper hydration. Practice cooling Pranayama—Sheetali and Sheetkari Pranayama Once a week fasting with only fruits, moong dal soup, and herbal teas will help eliminate toxins. Triphala-infused water—soak triphala overnight and drink the water in the morning to cleanse the gut.

Eczema, or Vicharchika, is primarily caused by an imbalance in the Kapha and Pitta doshas, though Vata also plays a role. These doshas control different aspects of the body: Kapha Dosha: Governs moisture and stability in the body. An imbalance in Kapha can lead to fluid retention, swelling, thickened skin, and oozing lesions—symptoms often seen in the weeping form of eczema. Pitta Dosha: Responsible for heat and metabolism. When Pitta is aggravated, it causes inflammation, redness, itching, and a burning sensation, all common features of eczema. Medications - Neem - antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and blood-purifying properties. It helps cleanse the blood, reduces itching, and soothes irritated skin. Khadriaristha-15-20 ml bd Manjistha powder-5g bd Aloevera gel - for local application Detoxification and Panchakarma Therapies - Like Virechana and Vaman Lifestyle changes - Drinking warm water and herbal teas like ginger tea helps support digestion and flush toxins from the body. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining skin moisture and preventing dryness. Dinacharya - Following a consistent daily routine, including regular meals, proper sleep, and mindful eating, helps maintain digestive health and prevent the accumulation of Ama.
