It seems you’ve been experiencing persistent itching in your ankle, and occasionally your palms too. In Ayurveda, itching could be linked to a dosha imbalance, often involving excess Pitta or Kapha. Let’s explore some Ayurvedic insights to help alleviate the itching.

Firstly, it’s important to identify any potential triggers, such as certain foods or environmental factors that might be aggravating the symptoms. Spicy, oily, or excessively salty foods can increase Pitta and should be minimized. In contrast, integrating cooling and calming foods like cucumbers, watermelons, and coconut water might offer relief.

Topically, a paste made of neem powder and a little bit of water or coconut oil (which is naturally cooling) can be soothing. Neem is well-known in Ayurveda for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which may help alleviate the itchiness. Alternatively, you could try applying aloe vera gel, as it’s both cooling and hydrating.

Internally, taking Triphala churna could help cleanse the body and balance doshas. A teaspoon mixed with warm water before bedtime might aid in eliminating any possible toxins contributing to the itchiness.

Also, consuming a tea made of coriander seeds (dhania) can be cooling for Pitta. Boil a teaspoon of seeds in water, strain, and drink once it’s cooled a bit.

Maintaining good skin hydration is crucial. You could switch to using an unscented moisturizer, ideally made from natural ingredients like almond oil or sesame oil, which nourishes the skin and supports overall balance.

If the symptoms persist or worsen, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner or dermatologist might be necessary. Explore whether any external factors like exposure to certain fabrics or use of new personal care products could be playing a role in the skin irritation.

Remember, Ayurveda takes a holistic view, so observing your general routines and stress levels can provide clues—stress can manifest physically, sometimes with itching. Try incorporating meditation or gentle yoga to help maintain equilibrium.

Finally, listen to your body, and consider keeping a simple diary to track what makes the itching better or worse. Small daily attentiveness can guide a more tailored approach to healing.
