Scars and keloids can be quite persistent and troublesome, but don't lose hope, there's an Ayurvedic approach to manage and alleviate these. Understanding your situation, let's dive into some personalized strategies that might help. Firstly, keloids are essentially overgrown scars, and in Ayurveda, excessive tissue growth is often linked to a kapha and pitta imbalance. This imbalance can cause the body to respond excessively during the healing process. An integrated approach that includes internal and external remedies might be useful. For topical application, you might want to use a paste made from turmeric and sandalwood powder. Mix equal parts with a little rose water to form a smooth paste, apply it to the affected areas daily. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, and sandalwood will help soothe and calm the skin, potentially reducing itchiness associated with keloids. Internally, keeping the skin nourished and promoting a sattvic diet can be beneficial. Include foods that are rich in antioxidants like berries, green leafy vegetables, and nuts in your diet. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help detoxify the body. Avoid excessively oily and spicy foods, as they might exacerbate the pitta dosha. Aloe vera is another excellent remedy – apply fresh aloe vera gel directly onto scars, it helps in speeding the healing and reducing the appearance of scars and keloids. Ashwagandha and manjistha are potent herbs that help in cleaning the blood and promoting skin health. You could consider consuming them in the form of a capsule or powder as docuemented in Ayurvedic literature, which helps in balancing the doshas. Finally, consider doing yoga and pranayama like Anulom Vilom to maintain equilibrium in the body and reduce stress levels, which influence skin healing. Regular practice might ease the body's reaction to injuries over time. Sometimes, severe cases of keloids do require medical intervention. If you notice no improvment, consult a dermatologist to explore options like cryotherapy which might be advised alongside Ayurvedic treatments.
