Dr Sujal Patil · Answer

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.
