What are some effective Ayurvedic treatments for eczema that have worked for you? - #22157

I am really curious about ayurveda ayurvedic treatment for eczema because I've been struggling with this skin issue for so long now. It started a few months ago, I thought it was just dry skin, but leter it got worse! Now I have these itchy red patches all over my elbows and behind my knees, and it’s driving me crazy. Nothing seems to be help, not even the creams from the doctor. I’ve tried some over-the-counter stuff, like hydrocortisone, but nahhhh, no relief! I've heard from a few friends who swear by ayurveda ayurvedic treatment for eczema, saying it’s more natural and much more gentle. Like, are there specific herbs or oils that are really good? Or maybe dietary changes that can help calm down my flare-ups? I read somewhere that some foods might actually trigger eczema, which like, makes sense, you know? I just feel so lost. I even attempted some home remedies, but they didn’t do much—just made me feel like a science experiment gone wrong! If anyone has tips or personal stories with ayurveda ayurvedic treatment for eczema that actually worked or just any advice, I would be super grateful. I want to stop this itchiness and just go back to living my life without constantly scratching! Thanks in advance, hoping for some sage wisdom here!

Hi Charles- eczema is a frustrating and recurring condition

but need not to worry ayurveda has best treatment with 100% cure

1) first step is detox internally panchakarma therapy especially Virechama - highly effective in eczema take Trivet Leah 50gm with warm milk in morning - after that 6-10 times loose stool you will pass that is detoxifying body at that time don’t eat anything after motion stops completely have light food no spicy food at that day

and from next day start this medications for 2-3 months continue you will get relief permanently from eczema:- 1)Gandhak Rasayana a tab- 1 tab twice a day after food for 21 days not more than that 2) Arogyavardhini vati - 1 tab thrice a day after food with warm water 3)Kaishor guggulu- 2 tab twice a day after food with warm water 4)khadirarista- 20 ml with equal quantity of water after food 5) Mahatiktaka ghrita- 1 tsp with water/milk in morning empty stomach before breakfast

externally apply- Jatyadi taila and neem taila mix and apply over area of eczema other medication except gandhaka rasayana- continue that for 2 months

if feasible go for leech therapy- highly effective

recommended brand for medicines- baidyanth, dootpapeshwar, Kerala ayurveda, Avp

avoid fermented food, dairy products, mixing fruit and milk, fish and milk, fish and curd, milk and honey, avoid taking curd at night take lukewarm water bath daily apply neem soap don’t use other soap on body

thank. you

Your story is incredibly relatable , so many people go through the same issues like itching, application of steroid creams, short-term relief, and then flare up, Through Ayurveda, along with externally, it will also help you in healing internally that is from root cause According to Ayurveda, eczema is due to Balance in Kapha pitta and Rakta dosha

So you can take Kayakalpa vati- One tablet twice daily before food with water Neemghan vati* kaishore guggulu- One tablet twice daily after food with water Mahamanjistha aristha- 4 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice daily after food Avoid spicy, sour non veg food Bring plenty of fluids, coconut water, buttermilk Coconut oil+ turmeric- apply at dry areas/eczema

I have seen many patients with similar complaints and 90% of them were suffering from digestive issues like sour belching, burning sensation in chest region, bloating etc. If you have any of these complaints please take care of your gut health.

Medicines suggestions - 1) Patolakaturohinyadi kashaya (10ml - 0 - 10 ml) After food. 2) Manibhadra lehya (0-0-1 tsp) Before food. 3) Arogyavardhini vati (1-0-1) After food. 4) Vasu cutis cream for application.

Diet restrictions - Avoid pickes, fermented foods, fried foods, curd, horse gram, any food that are hot in potency.

eczema is mainly treated with Panchakarma therapy. This method is also used for other skin conditions like psoriasis and acne.

You’ll need to visit an Ayurvedic practitioner to receive Panchakarma therapy. It may include treatments and procedures like:

consuming medicated ghee for 5 to 7 days whole body oil massage inducing sweating inducing purging and vomiting These treatments are meant to help eczema by removing toxins and supporting the immune system.

later we can start medication

mahamanjistadi kasaya 20ml two times a day with warm water before meals kadira arista 20ml two times a day with warm water after meals neem ghan vati two times a day mahayogaraj gugullu two times a day Eladi tailam for external application

avoid oily , spicy , cold food

Eczema, as seen through the lens of Ayurveda, often corresponds to a Vata-Pitta imbalance. This essentially means there’s an excess of dryness (from Vata) and inflammation (from Pitta) in the body. Addressing these imbalances lies at the heart of Ayurvedic treatment strategies.

First, let’s delve into dietary habits. Opt for a diet that’s both cooling and nourishing to counter these excesses. Focus on including foods that are calming for Vata and soothing for Pitta. Incorporate sweet fruits like ripe bananas, melons, and grapes instead of sour or spicy foods. Cook with ghee and coconut oil instead of mustard or almond oil, as they’re naturally cooling and moisturizing, aligning with your needs. Reduce processed foods and always strive for freshly prepared meals.

For topical treatments, a gentle approach helps soothe the skin without irritation. You may find some relief using neem oil or calendula-based creams. Neem is a classic Ayurvedic herb noted for its anti-inflammatory properties, effectively balancing the excess Pitta. Calendula, meanwhile, is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and skin-healing properties.

Herbs can also offer support from within. Turmeric and ashwagandha are known for their impressive anti-inflammatory effects. To use turmeric effectively, make a beverage with warm milk (or a milk alternative) with a pinch of turmeric at night. Ashwagandha can be taken as a supplement, but it’s advisable to consult with a practitioner for appropriate dosage.

Importance also lies in lifestyle adjustments. Try oil massages (Abhyanga) with sesame or almond oil which nourish the skin. This practice is deeply hydrating and can be administered before a warm bath. Establish a routine soothes the nervous system and reduces stress, critical to alleviating eczema triggers.

Hydration is another underestimated factor. Ensure you’re drinking ample water and herbal teas that serve to cool and hydrate—think chamomile or fennel tea.

Lastly, Ayurveda emphasizes the power of meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) in harmonizing bodily energies and nurturing the mind-body connection. Aim to embrace these practices to create an environment of ongoing relaxation and stress relief.
