For the skin itching around your knee, especially with your diabetic condition in mind, focusing on both topical and systemic Ayurvedic approaches can be beneficial. Acute skin itching often indicates an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, possibly combined with dryness due to Vata. Given your condition, it’s also essential to ensure circulation and proper nourishment of the skin.

For topical relief, consider using Chandanadi Taila. This oil, primarily composed of sandalwood, offers cooling properties, helping to soothe the burning sensation and discomfort from itching. Apply it gently to the affected area twice daily, preferably after cleansing your skin with mild, natural soap and patting it dry.

Taking care of your skin’s overall health and combating dryness are essential too. You might find it helpful to take 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder before sleeping, preferably mixed in warm water. Triphala helps in detoxification, supports digestion and can aid in balancing Pitta.

Additionally, you could include turmeric in your diet, which has anti-inflammatory properties; mix a little with warm milk or water and consume once daily. To support pain relief in your legs, Ashwagandha could be supportive due to its rejuvenating nature. Take an Ashwagandha capsule or a half teaspoon of its powder with warm milk twice daily.

Hydration is vital—drink warm water throughout the day and maintain a Pita-pacifying diet, emphasizing foods like squash, zucchini, and cucumber, while avoiding spicy or deep-fried foods which could exacerbate the Pitta imbalance.

If the itching persist or worsens, especially given your age and diabetic status, ensure to consult with an Ayurvedic physician or a relevant healthcare provider. They may need to explore further into your vata and pitta distributions for more tailored treatments. Stay observant about any changes and ensure regular check-ups on your blood sugar levels for optimal management.
