Hi Amira,
Could you please share this additional information?Since when have you been experiencing this itching and heat sensation? Does anything trigger or worsen it, like certain foods, weather, or stress?
Do you have any history of allergies, eczema, or other skin conditions? Have you noticed any rashes, redness, or swelling?
How is your digestion—do you experience acidity, bloating, or irregular bowel movements?
Do you consume a lot of spicy, fried, or processed foods, and how is your water intake?

Dr. Harsha Joy · Answer

Hello Amira, I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing. In Ayurveda, your symptoms may indicate an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat, metabolism, and skin health. To offer a proper treatment plan, I would need to know more about your health history. Have you noticed any specific triggers that worsen the itching, such as certain foods, weather conditions, or stress? Do you have any other symptoms like redness, rashes, or dry patches on the skin? It would also be helpful to know if you've experienced any digestive issues, as Ayurveda links skin conditions to the digestive system. Are you currently using any topical treatments, and have you consulted with any dermatologists for an underlying skin condition?

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.

Namaste Amira Ji,

Your symptoms indicate a strong Pitta-Vata imbalance in Ayurveda. Excess Pitta (heat) in the blood causes burning sensations and itching, while Vata (dryness) leads to flaky and irritated skin. This needs both internal detoxification and external cooling therapies.
	•	Neem ghan vati  – Powerful blood purifier to stop itching. Take 1 tab twice daily 
        .  Tab.kaishora guggulu 1 tab twice daily after food
	•	Aloe Vera Juice (15 ml daily) 
	•	Triphala Churna (½ tsp at bedtime) 
	•	Drink coconut water & buttermilk daily to cool the body.
	•	Eat light, cooling foods (cucumber, ghee, sweet fruits, green leafy vegetables).
	•	Avoid spicy, fried, fermented, and processed foods that aggravate Pitta.
	•	Increase water intake; drink coriander & fennel seed water to cool the blood.

1. Herbal Bath (Soothing for Skin Irritation)
	•	Add neem leaves, sandalwood powder, and rose petals to warm bath water.
	•	Soak for 15-20 minutes daily to reduce itching.
	•	Kumkumadi Tailam or Coconut Oil + Sandalwood Powder – Apply before bed for cooling and hydration.
	•	Aloe Vera Gel + Turmeric Paste – Apply to affected areas for instant relief.

•	Use cotton, loose-fitting clothes to prevent sweating and irritation.
	•	Avoid hot showers & sun exposure (Pitta increases with heat).
	•	Apply a cold towel or rose water spray when feeling hot & itchy
With consistent Ayurvedic care, your skin will regain its natural coolness and comfort.

Best Regards,
Dr. M. Sushma
