What are effective ayurvedic remedies for eczema and how can they help alleviate my skin issues? - #22024

Noah

I am dealing with this really annoying eczema problem that keeps flaring up, it’s sooo irritating! I’ve tried all sorts of lotions and prescriptions but nothing seems to work. A friend mentioned some ayurvedic remedies for eczema that have helped him, but I honestly don’t know where to start. My skin gets really dry and itchy, especially during the winter months, and I end up scratching it until I have raw patches. It's frustrating because I want to wear short sleeves again but I feel sooo self-conscious about my arms and hands. I even got some blood tests done, and they said it’s just eczema, but I feel like the treatments are just not doing what they’re supposed to. Has anyone here ever tried ayurvedic remedies for eczema? Like, what specific herbs or oils can help? I’ve heard things like turmeric and neem might be good, but are there any certain recipes or methods you all swear by? Also, do these remedies take time to see results? I just wanna get rid of this annoying issue for good! Any advice would be appreciated!

Namaste, I hear your frustration and I completely understand how emotionally and physically draining chronic eczema can be. As an Ayurvedic doctor, I want to assure you that Ayurveda offers a very holistic and time-tested approach to healing eczema—not just at the skin level, but from the root cause.

In Ayurveda, eczema is often related to an imbalance of the doshas—mainly Pitta and Kapha, sometimes with Vata if dryness and itching are dominant. It’s called Vicharchika in Ayurvedic terms. What you’re describing—dryness, intense itching, raw patches especially worse in winter—clearly shows involvement of Vata-Pitta aggravation.

While modern treatments often suppress the symptoms, Ayurveda works to purify the blood, calm the aggravated doshas, and restore skin health from within.

Here are some remedies that have worked beautifully for many of my patients: 1. Neem (internal + external) Neem is one of the best blood purifiers and anti-inflammatory herbs. You can drink neem leaf decoction or take Neem capsules (1–2 daily after meals) for internal cleansing. Also, bathing with neem water (boil neem leaves in water, strain and cool) helps reduce itching and infection. 2. Turmeric + Ghee Paste Mix a pinch of organic turmeric with cow ghee and apply gently to affected areas. Turmeric reduces inflammation, and ghee nourishes and heals the dry skin. 3. Khadirarishta or Mahamanjishtadi Kwath These classical Ayurvedic blood-purifying formulations help reduce flare-ups from the inside. Take 15 ml with equal water after meals, twice a day. 4. Kumkumadi Taila or Jatyadi Oil (for local application) Apply gently after bathing. These soothe the skin and promote healing without irritating sensitive patches. 5. Avoid hot showers, spicy foods, fermented items, and excess dairy, which aggravate Pitta and delay healing. Focus on warm, lightly spiced, well-cooked meals with plenty of ghee and green vegetables. 6. Daily rituals like Abhyanga (oil massage) with Pinda Taila or Nalpamaradi oil (if itching is severe) can calm Vata and reduce dryness.

Yes, Ayurvedic remedies take time to show lasting results, but they work deeply and holistically. I’ve seen patients experience relief within 3–6 weeks when they follow a customized routine consistently.

You can absolutely wear short sleeves again. Your skin just needs the right care from within. If you’d like a personalized plan based on your body type and current symptoms, I’d be happy to guide you.

Dealing with eczema can indeed be a challenge, especially when conventional treatments fall short. In Ayurveda, eczema is often understood as a manifestation of an imbalance, particularly in the Pitta and Vata doshas. So our approach takes into account your specific constitution and lifestyle, targeting the root causes rather than just symptoms.

For your skin issues, let’s dive into some effective ayurvedic remedies. Firstly, neem is renowned for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. You can make a paste by grinding fresh neem leaves with a bit of water and applying it directly to affected areas daily. Alternatively, neem oil can be massaged gently over the skin, preferably after a warm bath when pores are open.

Turmeric, with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, can be taken internally. Mix half a teaspoon of turmeric in a glass of warm milk or water daily to help manage inflammation from within. It’s also helpful in reducing itchiness and promoting healing.

A soothing oil application can benefit dry, irritated skin. Use warmed coconut oil or sesame oil to massage the body, which helps to pacify Vata, especially in winter months. This can be followed by a gentle massage with aloe vera gel, which provides a cooling sensation and aids in healing inflamed skin.

As for diet, try to incorporate cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and coriander in your meals and reduce spicy and fried foods that aggravate Pitta. Staying hydrated is key too, drinking plenty of water and herbal teas.

Results with these remedies can vary, often taking a few weeks to notice significant change, as the body’s healing process is gradual and natural. Meanwhile, make time for regular relaxation and de-stressing as stress can exacerbate eczema symptoms.

Do keep in mind these recommendations should align with your overall health and lifestyle, so checking with an ayurvedic practitioner can provide further personalized guidance. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a medical professional would be wise as well.

Dr. Batu
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

Dr. Uday Khachar
I am fresh out of my BAMS and kind of still feeling my way through this big world of Ayurveda, and sometimes I catch myself digging too deep into new modes of therapy that our classical texts mention but we don’t always explore enough in daily practice. I am trying to understand how these concepts actually fit into real pts, real issues, not just theory on paper, and honestly that part excites me more than I thought. I am learning to look at health in a broader frame, seeing how dosha, agni, ama all play out together, and I keep noting small things that make big sense later. Some days I question if I am going too slow or missing something, but then I realise this phase of experimenting, reading, and observing the tiniest changes in people is important too. I am trying to blend these therapies gently into my approach, like testing how certain modalities respond better for digestion troubles or for stress patterns, and I feel like gradually I am shaping my own way of treating. Maybe it sounds a bit messy right now, but I want my practice to be grounded in authenticity and still open to new interpretations within Ayurveda. I am hoping that as I move ahead, these early experiences with new conceptual therapies sort of give me a stronger foundation, and even if the journey is not perfectly straight, I know I am working toward something meaningful for my future patients.

Dr. Kahekashan Awatif Khanam
I am an Ayurvedic physician who kinda took the long way round in practice, but I feel that helped. I started off in the surgical dept., worked for a full year under a general surgeon—ya, in an allopathic setup—mostly assisting with diabetic wounds, dressing changes, debridement and post-op wound healing. That phase really taught me patience... and precision too. I wasn’t just watching, I was doing the stuff daily. Lot of tissue work, infection management, gauging healing speed—it all stayed with me even as I moved into Ayurveda fully. Now I run OPD-based practice in Mumbai. My major focus right now is musculoskeletal n autoimmune things—Amavata, Sandhivata—basically arthritis spectrum. I see a lot of cervical spondylysis, sciatica, frozen shoulder, you name it. I use internal meds + local therapies, mostly oil applications, kati basti, snehan–swedana combos. In few cases we do deeper detox (panchakarma types), but I keep it minimal unless needed. Pain relief is big, yes, but I’m more interested in building back lost mobility. Kidney stones is another area I take up often—non-surgical management only. Not everyone knows this but a lot of small-medium calculi *can* pass with the right formulations + diet corrections. It takes close monitoring, like a lot of it, but many patients avoid surgery when they stick to the plan. I always go case by case though, I don’t generalize stone care. Also yeah, I’m a certified nutritionist too, which kind of bridges the gap for me. I don’t believe Ayurveda and food can be handled separate. What they eat during vata aggravation or post-shodhana affects outcomes way more than people think. I like working on chronic cases, especially the ones who’ve seen too many doctors and still feel stuck. My treatment plans aren’t flashy, but I do adjust every small detail for each person. That’s where I think it works—the tuning, not the intensity.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.
